The Greatest Sinner

It took Evan over a week to successfully cast Hell Vampire Wings for the first time. But, in the end, he succeeded.

"Okay, it's time to experience that unforgettable feeling." Said Evan and began to cast Hell Vampire Wings.

His crimson Warp spun at breakneck speed, and streams of mana headed toward his back. Knowing the right spell and a certain method, the mage could create almost anything from mana. However, most of the effects were temporary, and once used, they disappeared. Of course, there were exceptions.

Gradually, the mana began to turn into drops of blood, which slowly transformed into massive wings. They were connected to Evan's body and his circulatory system. This could be considered a disadvantage of this spell because it meant that Evan would lose some blood if wounded in the wings area.

Once the wings were created, Evan spread them out to the sides. The wings reached a span of three and a half meters. Evan flapped the wings several times and nodded in satisfaction.

The wings looked like the wings of a bat. They were the exact opposite of the feathered wings of birds or angels. Moreover, the dark, blood red color gave these wings a menacing and oppressive appearance.

The next moment Evan took off slowly. He flew into the air five meters off the ground, then circled the training ground and slowly landed. Evan was thrilled, but there were some things he didn't like.

<It hasn't been more than thirty seconds since I took off. My speed is average, but it's enough for now. However, the amount of mana spent is very high indeed. The maximum I'm capable of is a five minute flight. I expected more, but then again I should have expected that this spell is too good not to be priced accordingly.> Thought Evan and took off again.

On the training ground, he could quickly restore his mana reserves in less than ten minutes. His mana accumulation rate was at an incredible level. So, Evan wanted to practice using his wings for a while. He wasn't used to flying yet, it was new to him in this world.

Unfortunately, these wings could not be used to attack or defend. They allowed the mage to fly, and that was the end of their functionality. Nevertheless, Evan was extremely pleased with such an outcome.

Crackle.

"What?" Suddenly Evan heard a crackling sound, he quickly realized what was happening.

"So I'm close to breaking through my second Barrier on the stage - One-Pointed Star. Great, just perfect."

The recent battle helped Evan progress and got him a little closer to breaking the next Barrier. But, he hadn't risked his life then, he'd made a great sacrifice, but he understood that no one but him and the vampires would survive in that mine.

But, deadly battles were not the only thing that helped the mage progress at great speed. Learning complex and rare spells, how to use them, and a better understanding of how to use the magic of one type could also help a mage break through his next Barrier.

The better a mage understood how magic worked, the more he deepened his understanding of the rules of the world. This greatly facilitated his further advancement.

Evan went straight to Virion. He asked the vampire for a suitable place to make a breakthrough. Virion graciously agreed, and within a couple of minutes, Evan was doing Creation.

In just a few days, he came close to breaking through his next Barrier. The second chain on his "Warp" crackled furiously, and the links gradually fell to the ground.

When the last link fell to the ground, Evan finally made his breakthrough. In the exact second, there was a powerful "Splash." Evan had long been trying to figure out what this energy was emanating from his body, and now he decided to look at it up close.

He asked Reykar not to absorb mana and energy this time, moreover, the room Evan was in was designed to allow vampires in the Three-Pointed Star stage to break through.

In this room, even the strange energy emanating from Evan wasn't supposed to destroy anything, at least not for a while.

Evan opened his eyes and saw a large amount of gray energy with a slight violet hue all around him. He touched it, but to his disappointment, nothing happened. The energy was floating in the air, and nothing happened, unlike the last time.

<Maybe these barriers are too strong and this energy is not yet strong enough to be able to change anything in this room.> Evan thought to himself.

He continued to watch the energy, he watched as it slowly moved towards the barriers, but there was nothing he could do. The protective barriers resisted any change.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly, all the energy gathered around Evan. He was the only target in the room that could be subject to change. Evan didn't know what was about to happen, but he decided not to resist. He figured his own energy couldn't hurt him.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly grass began to grow on the stone floor around Evan, but the next moment it caught fire in bright flames and then was transformed into ice cubes. It was like some strange geothermal process, but the next changes shocked Evan.

The walls around him began to crumble into pieces. They shattered into small fragments that froze in place for a while. They hovered serenely in space, after which each of the shards turned into a sword. Hundreds of swords pierced Evan's body at lightning speed. He didn't even have time to react or do anything.

He threw up a mouthful of blood, but suddenly he saw his arms begin to split into many pieces. In an instant, Evan's whole body turned into hundreds of blue butterflies, from the outside, it looked as if a very elaborate trick had just been performed.

"What the hell was that?" Mumbled Evan, breathing heavily.

He realized that this one was some kind of illusion, but he needed to come to his senses. Evan assumed that the energy was the cause of these strange illusions, but he didn't understand why the pain was real then.
