SWNOVELS Chapter 914 Awakening Mana Circuits
-----
Through my Special Spiritual Ghostly Eyes, I was able to see the interior of Nia's body, her Mana Circuits were all gray-colored, inactive. And above all, there were small sparks of light, I suppose those were the Meridians.
There was one in her head, another in her chest, a third in her stomach, and four more, one in her shoulders and then her thighs. These must be the Seven Meridians that must be activated to begin the growth of Ki and also facilitate the flow of Mana in the body.
It is such a pity I can't use any of that!
I have no body, so I lack Meridians.
And also because of that I don't have Mana Circuits, or any of that!
I can't wield Ki either, that's impossible…
I only have my own Soul, but I think it has been "cultivated" through my evolutions, levels, and also whenever I devour souls or compatible materials, I suppose.
Though, I wonder if I could find a way to refine my own soul further. That's something I might have to research on.
"[Mana Infusion]!"
FLAAASH!
Emeraldine activated the Mana Circuits of Nia, as Celes Mother screamed a bit in pain after the entire feeling came and went in a flash.
What my girlfriend did was pretty simple! She imbued her Mana into Nia's body and carefully guided it through every single Mana Circuit and circled it around her Meridians.
This made it possible for her to have her Meridians and Mana Circuits forcefully activated and even enhanced too.
"Mama! Are you okay?" Celes quickly healed his mother with his touch alone.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine dear, Emeraldine healed me right after that too." Nia smiled gently, patting her son's head. "But this is incredible… My whole body feels anew!"
"It should be done now, you possess both Ki, that'll enhance your Stamina, and also more Mana. Can you sense the energy?" Emeraldine asked.
"I-I can!" Nia looked at her hands, seeing the Mana flow to her command. "T-This is incredible- though, it did hurt a lot. Celes, are you really… okay with this?"
"I am! Anything for mama and frens!" Celes nodded.
"Yeah!" Nyx nodded too, cheering for him. "You can do it Celes!"
Emeraldine looked at me, asking me if it was okay.contemporary romance
"Yeah, do it." I nodded, smiling. "The kid's ready for anything at this point. He's a brave little guy."
"He does have the brave spirit of a knight!" Jonathan agreed.
"Hmm… He does have potential." Lucifer pointed out. "We Dragons, and most monsters naturally awaken our Meridians and Magic Circuits through evolution, or even by growing up. But I guess humans and other races might be different."
"Oh yeah, that's right. I never had to awaken anything myself." Said Partner, wondering about it. "Do I have them activated already?"
"Yeah, you do." Emeraldine nodded. "They're very strong, your body has been naturally enhanced and refined with each battle and level."
"What about me auntie?" Nyx asked curiously.
"You too, of course!" Emeraldine smiled. "You were born with all of such things activated."
"Wow!" Nyx was surprised.
"And about us and the others?" Fabian was curious.
"You have unique and different bodies now." Said Emeraldine. "Children that acquired Demonite Hearts have their Magic Circuits and Meridians altered permanently, and they rely on your cores for growth. Your cores… I don't know how they can become stronger; I think by leveling up? You don't seem to be limited by level caps and can evolve too; it seems it was one of the purposes behind the creation of these Cores…"
"Although I don't like how we were manipulated and used… I suppose this power is useful to take revenge against the bastards that gave it to us and made us suffer." Said Spectra.
"Yeah!" Said Garon.
"Well, your bodies are more unique, Maria made them herself, but you don't have Meridians or Magic Circuits normally. Instead, your whole bodies are a big Meridian and a Magic Circuit. Undead in the other case, usually lack these two completely, and rely on Levels, Skills, and their Soul Evolution to become stronger, like Maria here." Emeraldine used me as an example. "However, she managed to give your new bodies some of the benefits of the living while still being Undead to an extent! Pretty amazing what you could do, Maria."
"E-Eh? Really? Ahahaha! Of course, I'm awesome!" I puffed my chest proudly.
"Now…" Emeraldine said, touching Celes shoulders. "Let's begin. [Mana Infusion]!"
FLAAASH!
Celes closed his eyes expecting some pain, but he felt none, when the entire process was done, he felt confused because the pain seemed to have never come.
And his body was now overflowing with even more power, the Aura of his Soul seemed to have begun to enter his Mana Circuits and Meridians right away, cultivating his body automatically.
"A-Amazing, you didn't felt any pain, dear?!" Nia asked to her son.
"Not really… it felt kind of nice and soothing." Said Celes. "Like… erm, when you lift off a weight from your shoulders! Or something like that… papa used to say that sometimes."
"Hahaha… I-I guess." Nia smiled, giggling a bit. "Emeraldine, what happened?"
"Looks like he's just talented! Although it might also be because his body was born with the natural ability to resist the powerful soul he possesses, so pain by opening Mana Circuits and Meridians was almost nonexistent." Emeraldine said. "He's… much, much tougher than we thought!"
"Am I?!" Celes wondered innocently. "Nyx! I'm tough!"
"Yes! You are!" Nyx celebrated, holding his hands, the two started jumping adorably.
"Now, can you manipulate Mana better, boy?" Lucifer asked him.
Celes started concentrating as he closed his eyes. His tiny hands started glowing with a blue aura of energy, it was Mana, but it was also fused with Spirit Energy of the Water Element.
"I-I think so! Ooh, I can manipulate it now?!"
"Well done Celes!"
As the two celebrated, Emeraldine nodded, looking back at me.
"Looks like we've made our little trump card even stronger… His Mana has increased at least tenfold." Emeraldine was rather shocked.
"That much?!" I asked in surprise. "But didn't he already have like three hundred thousand?!"
"He indeed has a lot of Mana…" Emeraldine giggled.
