Chapter 50: Vessel Construction
Chapter 50: Vessel Construction
'Damn!! Feels like I am going to be an OP character soon.'
While he was processing the System Manual information, a new window popped up before him, containing the information about his second mission.
[Mission Name: Magic Vessel Construction]
[Progress: 0%]
[Time Limit: 42 Hours]
[Reward: ???]
[More Info]
{Construct a durable and robust vessel for storing high grade of magiculus energy. The vessel quality must be SSS}
Xin remembered, in the world of magic, people used to grade magical vessels based on their quality, starting from rank E to rank SSS.
While rank E being the lowest and SSS being the highest quality amongst them. A magic vessel's work is to store the magic energy absorbed by the user and use it in time of need. In the world of magic, it was also known by the name "Second Heart". Since it acts as a heart and pumps magiculus particles throughout the body.
Magic vessel construction is an event that happens only once in the life of a mage. Once formed, it is pretty much impossible to upgrade its size and quality. Xin was pretty much aware of it, and he knew the secret of building a SSS rank vessel.
He quickly put on his clothes and set out towards Area X20 to collect all the Red pines. On his way there he observed like the first time this time too all the members had fallen asleep. Not a single human was conscious after getting hit by the second magical wave. Upon reaching his destination, he spotted a big truck near the camp and went near it to look at its inside. As expected, it was the truck filled with thousands of Red pine.
Xin scanned his surroundings for the last time for signs of any conscious living beings, using his System, and when he couldn't find any, he started the first stage of vessel construction.
The first stage was pretty much straightforward, and the name of the process was "Breathing". Vessel construction using Red pines is not a natural process, and it requires magiculus energy to feed upon and use as a source of energy.
Before consuming the fruits, Xin had to store magiculus particles as much as possible inside his body and use it during his vessel construction.
He sat cross-legged at a distance from the truck and started the process of breathing. Inhale till his lungs were full, then exhale till he runs out of air.
Though it sounds like normal breathing, it had different effects on his body. During his practice, whenever he inhales air, oxygen, other gases, and magiculus particles enter his body and get diffused with his blood vessels. Whenever he exhales, the extra residue of air and magiculus particles come out of his body along with other gases.
By repeating this process, again and again, Xin was trying to fill his body with magiculus particles and use them at the time of vessel construction. Slowly the day came to an end, and darkness prevailed throughout the sky.
Xin gently opened his eyes and directly looked above. For a normal person, he/she would have seen the night sky filled with millions of stars and a big bright moon, but for Xin, he was unable to see those. All he could see was an aurora-colored sky filled with numerous celestial beasts and spirits.
A smirk appeared on his face after watching the mysterious phenomena, and he advanced towards the next step of vessel construction.
'Daisy you here?' Xin questioned in his mind.
"Yes, master. I am here."
"Good, tell me now how to use that Book of Devourer?"
"On it, master."
[Initializing the Skill acquiring function.]
[Materializing the book.]
[Materialization success!!]
After showing this notification, a brown-colored book materialized in the air. Xin was amazed by the System's materializing function and was thinking whether it could materialize some weapons of his previous life or not.
"Master, please open the book and place your right hand on it."
Xin nodded and did as he was instructed by Daisy. The moment his hand came in contact with the book, it started glowing and vanished in thin air. Before Xin asked the book's whereabouts, a massive load of information began to appear in his mind.
[New Skill acquired!!]
[New Skill acquired!!]
[Skill name: Way of the devourer]
[Uses: 1]
Xin frowned at the last line of the notification and asked Daisy about the same. After her explanation, he got to know that Way of the Devourer was a one-time skill granted to a user, and it cannot be used more than once for some reasons.
Daisy also mentioned another devouring skill that was way much superior to the way of devourer. But to unlock that permanent Skill he has to unlock the system store first, then buy out that Skill in exchange for 1200 SP.
"Mhm, understood. Let me process the information of this book first. I will think about the system store later."
"As you wish, master," Daisy replied.
With that, Xin sat on an enormous stone nearby and started to process the massive load of information that appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
After going through all the information, he got to know why that Skill was a temporary one and why its use was only one time. No doubt it was a superbly awesome skill that can help him to consume ten thousand fruits at once, but at the same time, it had a side effect around it. More like it was a double-edged sword.
According to the information written in that book, if he couldn't control the power extracted from the fruits, instead of making a sturdy, perfectly shaped vessel, the Skill will generate a randomly shaped vessel with low capacity and durability.
Xin gulped down the chunk forming in his mouth and started to laugh at the risk of using that Skill. Xin from the world of magic was a combat genius and a prodigy in many other fields. But he was of the mindset "If you don't lurk around danger, then danger will not lurk around you."
