Chapter 496 - Violet Core Vs Red Core
Meanwhile… on the uppermost floor of the tower…
"Master." A person respectfully bowed in front of the old man.
"In a minute, there will be a corpse in one of the lower levels. Go fetch the stone tablet beside that corpse." The old man waved him away.
He then grunted and stood up to walk away. He opened one of the rooms on the topmost floor and entered it. Inside there were myriad treasures…
The old man's eyes glimmered as he eyed all of his prized possessions lovingly. In a second, there was going to be a new addition.
However, just as he was thinking about this, suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Another disciple stood at the door this time and he had an anxious expression on his face.
"What is it?" The old man asked gruffly.
"Master… another one of our formations has collapsed."
"What how is it possible? Do you know how expensive it is to make each one of them! What happened this time?"
"Master… all the mana was completely sucked out."
"WHAT!" The old man trembled in anger. More than the formation running dry and cracking, he was concerned about what it actually meant.
That moron had pulled through somehow!
And not just that, he was still continuing to absorb mana, sucking his next formation dry! How is this possible?
The old man then remembered the pond, Liam was still standing in.
"It has to be because of the stone tablet. It is indeed an amazing treasure." He came to this conclusion.
"Leave it be. Don't take any actions at the moment." He sent the other person away as well but after some time, he called him back and whispered something to him.
Only now the old man looked relieved.
"You dared to finish ten of my inscriptions? Now let me see just how strong your mana core is. Hmph!"
He continued patiently observing Liam while Liam in turn continued patiently absorbing the mana in the surroundings.
A few hours later…
[Ding. You have successfully formed a mana core]
Liam felt something click and his body suddenly felt complete. Hmmm. He snapped out of his trance and took a deep breath to feel it properly.
Yesss!
It was indeed true! The way mana circulated in his body was now different!
He closed his eyes for a few more minutes and meditated to stabilize this condition and understand it a bit better. He could feel the power surging within him.
A huge grin split his face into two. All the power he had felt so far paled in comparison to the power he felt at the moment. It was a completely different feeling.
Not just that… he had now taken the biggest step that he could to ensure his future and the future of everyone he loved!
Today was a huge day!
With this, he alone would be moving on to the next phase of the game!
Liam stood up and checked his status screen again.
This time there shouldn't be much difference except for the total mana he had access to but there was one more thing that he was curious to look at, the grade of his mana core!
