Chapter 71 - 71: My Hero! (1/2)
It turned out that he could now control a type of whip formed from the True Mana of Darkness, and its power was anything but weak!
”Peng!”
A simple flick of his hand made the Whip of True Darkness Mana produce a loud popping sound. The most exciting part was that when he tried to put his spokes on the whip itself, it worked! Crackling sounds and lightning zaps were produced whenever he flicked it.
After training for a long time with his affinities, Theo ended up a bit tired. He used his <Clean> ability on his body, and then returned to the room where they were. Once there, Theo was surprised that they were still cultivating. ”Aren't they hungry?” Theo also found it odd that he too wasn't hungry yet. But realizing that this place was filled with dense Mana, he thought that it might be the cause. Although not entirely, because they were in an environment where there is a lot more Mana, they would hardly become hungry.
Theo felt like he wouldn't be hungry for a while. He had also decided to continue using <Devour> on more Magic Cores, but this time, he decided to use Magic Cores that were in the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom.

Theo felt his strength increase by a considerable margin! Sure, if he didn't have so many Magic Cores to use, he wouldn't use them like this, but as they seemingly fell from the sky into his lap, why shouldn't he use them? At least there was apparently no problem using them up to increase his strength. Seeing that there was still a bit more than half of what he had used of the Magic Cores of Lightning and Darkness, he decided to use <Devour> on all of what remained. Once he has enough strength, he can simply conquer more Magic Cores as long as he has enough power to do so.

”Ohh!”
Surprised, Theo stopped using <Devour> on the Magic Cores. He wanted to try out the new attack technique that he obtained thanks to his lineage, but still, he chose not to do so right away. There were only a few more Magic Cores of Lightning and Darkness left. He wanted to start cultivating the nucleus of this place right away so that they could get out of here soon.

”Argh!”
Whenever he used <Devour>. The True Mana of Lightning and Darkness increased in Theo's inner body, violently growing his meridians. This free True Mana caused constant pain, but Theo gritted his teeth and endured what he felt since he realized that it was benefitting him greatly.
”Sigh ~ It's over! I feel like I'm overflowing with power now!” Theo clenched his two fist-shaped hands, and a loud and muffled sound of tremendous power erupted.
In the end, he was able to convert 80% of his Mana to True Lightning and Darkness Mana! Just a little longer and he would be able to convert 100% of it.
”What a horrible smell!” Theo exclaimed. A lot of impurities had come out of his body already. He simply couldn't take the smell any longer. Theo used <Clean> to snuff out the stench.
”Peng!”
”Ah?” Looking where he had heard a noise. Theo realized that Zaira had just increased her cultivation level, reaching the peak of the 10th Layer of the Student Kingdom.
”Congratulations, Zaira!” Theo said, smiling.
”Thank you!” Zaira immediately replied, ”That was all thanks to the technique I gained from you and the fact that the Mana in this place is much denser than normal.”
