Chapter 180: New ring and final return (1/2)
The pillar was complete, and it was taller than the Lava Dragon and the Mother Earthworm. As the pillar stopped growing, Shingi started hearing noises, although it should be impossible since he wasn't really there. First, he started hearing the Sphinx murmuring, then the oyster making bubble sounds, the snore of the dragon, followed by the digging sound of the Mother Earthworm. Soon he could hear Lailah playing the harp and her singing voice.
Finally, he heard Kelvin's old voice saying the arcane words needed to raise his undead, as also the sound his staff made by hitting the floor with its butt.
Everything seemed and sounded so real, as also some adjustments had happened to their appearance, making them even closer to what the real ones were like.
He started releasing his focus as he was back in his body and had the ring on his palm, as it had completely cooled down. All the liquified material that had surrounded it had been moved in one place, making a single gem at the top of the ring. Its current color was white.

This was the second time he got these notifications, but the time the disadvantage lasted had increased by half the time they were before. Also, the chance of Spirit Madness was increased once more, but he could tell that the limit he could use Spirit Element had increased as well.
He couldn't use anything Spirit Element related, not even his VISUALIZATION Skill, which wasn't fully Spirit-Based since almost anyone could learn it. But anyone could use Spirit Element, just to a minimal degree. So now he couldn't use it that much either.
Still, he didn't regret taking the risk, as the final product was more than he expected. He put on the ring, and he focused his Light Element int it. The Gem started turning yellow, and he could feel the flow of his mana in the ring becoming more natural and with no resistance.
He started pouring Fire Mana in it while trying to keep the Light Element Mana in it, which wasn't as hard as expected. The gem was orange when he pulled as much mana as he could spare at the moment. Finishing the ring almost dried him of mana by using it as Spirit Element, and this time he used it way faster than when he used it at Dark Shadow's egg. That's why he had reached and passed his limit.
He also had his Air Element currently, but he didn't use it as it would completely dry his entire Mana Pool.
He waited and noticed that the no mana leaked from the ring no matter how much he waited, and he could also feel that the mana in there had even improved and was ready to be used. So that was the reason he made the ring and what Soren, since he was the one who gifted Ameanum the design, made it for. Shingi could store in the ring mana of any Elements, and not only would it stay stored to be used later on, but it could even be improved to be easier to use.
He could even store mana for others, and the ring would also improve and adjust them for him to use them easier like they were his. The ring was bonded with him now, so he was the only one to use it unless this bond got transferred, but not just anyone could do that.
Shingi walked towards Syra and showed his latest creation as he explained what it was. He told her also about how he worked on all the Elements and about the pillar.
