Chapter 232 - Gold (1/2)

Upon reaching Vextin, Evan immediately bought a huge mansion. With his money, an entire estate didn't cost that much.

Evan decided to get into training and 'Creation.' He had already broken through the first ”Barrier” stage, the 'One-Pointed Star,' but he still hadn't condensed a single drop of 'Void Liquid.' Moreover, he needed to raise the Awareness of his new spells to at least the first stage, and he had another important task. Evan wanted to continue creating his own spell.

He had made good progress last time. He had easily learned how to change the color of the simplest spell. But, that wasn't enough. Evan wanted to create his own spell as quickly as possible. Sure, someone could say that 'Foundation' was the first spell Evan had created, but it wasn't. He separated apart from the Magic of Invocation spells and began to use it for the 'One-Eyed Raven Beam' and other spells.

It couldn't be called a full-fledged spell creation. Evan was only able to do it because, due to coincidences, he got the monster skill. Had it not been for that situation, there was no way he would have been able to create 'Foundation.'

Evan wanted to learn a recently acquired spell, namely the 'Death Feathers Fan.' Because of Roland's sudden arrival and subsequent robbery of the Paper Hydrangea's vault, Evan did not have time to begin training.

...

There was a large room in the mansion for ”Creation” where Evan was now.

<Lately, my ”Warp” cleared, this event increased the power of my spells a bit, but how much did my mana accumulation rate increase?”> Evan was sitting among the crystals filled with mana.

Evan's original Creation rate was six drops of Void Liquid a day. After he reached the 'One-Pointed Star' stage, his speed doubled. Evan was not special in this respect, the mana accumulation rate increased in all mages and by about the same value. But, Evan's 'Warp' was cleared, and he couldn't wait to see how much faster he had become.

Whoooosh.

Evan's 'Warp' spun and massive streams of mana headed toward the crimson sphere. Reykar also absorbed some of the mana. Reykar did not participate in the last battle, as Evan did not want Roland to know about it.

In order to reach the 'Two-Pointed Star stage,' Evan needed to condense 5,000 drops of 'Void Liquid.' It was a huge amount, but the biggest problem was the Barriers. They could not be breached at would or by saving up enough money to buy many mana crystals. Everything depended only on the mage himself and the talent and decisions he made.

Evan had already condensed 1.333 drops of ”Void Liquid,” which was the maximum for those who only broke through one ”Barrier.” Evan could now condense a total of 3,000 drops, after which he would have to wait until he broke his third Barrier.

...

Three days later, Evan opened his eyes. He had been ”Creating” nonstop the whole time. Evan was amazed at the results.

<My speed has increased by one and a half times... That means that my mana accumulation rate is 18 drops per day in a normal situation without external factors. That's an incredible rate...>

Evan was well aware that even mages with purple 'Warp' only condensed 2 drops of Void Liquid per day. Of course, if she was in the One Pointed Star stage, the speed was doubled.

In other words, while mages with white Warp condensed one drop a day, Evan condensed 18. He was much faster than even geniuses.

<Darn, it's such a disappointment that there are these damn ”Barriers.” If it weren't for them, I could get powerful a lot faster. Eh, okay, maybe I want too much. If the information I have is to be believed, even my Barriers breakthroughs are much faster than most mages. But, if I stop fighting and risking my life, I'll slow down a lot. It's really a dilemma, but I guess you have to do things in order.> Evan thought to himself and continued to 'Create.'

The room he was in was filled with mana. In this place, any mage would ”Create” five times faster than usual. That meant it would only take Evan two and a half weeks to condense 1.667 drops of 'Void Liquid' and hit the Barrier.

But Evan wasn't going to stop there. He wanted to unlock all the circuits on the golden Pillar next to the giant rat. Evan had already tried pouring some mana into the chains on the second ”Pillar” next to the lion, but it didn't work. He wasn't strong enough to do it yet. But, the gold chains had no problem absorbing mana.
