Chapter 301: Low Success Stage

Within Darcel's Dantian and Soul's space, his Dragon phantom image Magical Core surged with an overflow of Magical Energy. 

As he rapidly near the Low Sucess stage of the Siren Chain Arts, slight physical changes occurred within his Magical Core.

The Dragon phantom image started to gain a bright crimson hue inside its eye sockets. Then, almost seamlessly, the crimson hue blended with the initial gray-colored Chaotic Energy. 

In mere seconds the crimson hue became more pronounced. 

And at the same time, Darcel's Magical Core circulated an overwhelming abundance of Magical crimson energy.

Right then, Darcel was about to take a firm step into comprehending the Siren Chains Magical Arts. But before he could do so, he was met with slight resistance within his mental space.

This slight mental block was the only line preventing him from reaching the Low Success stage. 

For any other average Mage, this stage is the pent ultimate critical step. Failing to break past this mental block could potentially set that Mage back a dozen of steps. 

The failure would majorly consume a Mage's mental energy, forcing them to take a long extended rest before they could attempt another breakthrough.

Any Mage would tread incredibly lightly. For as more often than not, a Mage would fail in actually passing this boundary which is why many simply go for lower-ranking Magical Arts.

However, Darcel didn't belong to any sort of average crowd. He merely took a few moments to curiously inspect this mental block. 

It felt quite similar to a Qi mental block, both gushing out this invisible force that makes it seems like it's impossible to pass through.

Though the difference with the Magical Mental block is, most obviously, the mystical properties of Magical Energy surging into the invisible force. 

Trying to break past this boundary honestly felt more whimsical to Darcel. It was like he was about to take a step into another world entirely. 

Just from taking the time to inspect this Magical Mental block, Darcel could perceive that his comprehension improved by a little bit.

The Magical Mental block held mystical properties that weren't in the Magical Energy swirling inside the environment. 

Initially, Darcel thought he could take some liberties from slowly inspecting the Magical Mental block.

However, in the next few seconds, he soon quickly realized he could only obtain slight improvement. 

The Magical Mental block only held a set amount of mystical properties. Meaning, in just this short amount of time, Darcel already comprehended all that he can from the Magical Mental block. 

It was a bit disappointing to realize he couldn't go further, but Darcel quickly got over it.

After all, on this Magical road, he'll be experiencing plenty more Magical Mental blocks. And he suspects, once he gets very far into the great Magical Realms, these mental blocks can aid him in achieving massive breakthroughs on all aspects of his power.

For now though, Darcel focused his mind. With a thought, he pushed through the Magical Mental block using his Magical Sense. 

Ka-Cha!' 

The Magical Mental block broke like shattered glass, causing Darcel's entire body to physically vibrate.

At that moment, an immense rush of power course through his entire being! The crimson rays of energy gushing out of Darcel had completely solidified and then morphed into a true image. 

In that instance, their whole room was engulfed by a blinding crimson shade bursting out of Darcel's body! 

Darcel's Magical Energy quickly rise while he experienced several changes within his mind.

The Siren Chains Arts requires one to have great control over Magical crimson energy. 

Similar to cultivator's Laws Energy, Magical Energy has numerous forms that all carry various types of prowess.

While Magical Energy is only one single type of energy, its versatility is unfounded. 

And crimson Magical energy is an incredibly aggressive form of Magical Energy. It specifically specializes in shredding absolutely anything in the path while also grasping other forms of energy to aid its own power. 

Controlling Magical crimson energy means controlling the incredible aggressive instincts that come with it.

And in the brief moment, when Darcel was an inch away from achieving the Low Success stage, he felt it. 

An overwhelming urge to crush anyone and everyone that gets into his sight. He wanted to break free from his spot and fight the whole entire Siren Blood Mage organization just to satisfy his needs! 

Admittedly, Darcel felt slightly tempted by these urges for just a brief moment.

However, he soon disdainfully snorted within his mind. 

'Tch, trying to make me act of instincts? This much is nowhere near enough to even prickly my mind!' Darcel became completely firm at this moment.

Ever since the start of his journey, he had to learn to control his instinct urges because of his Yin Pleasure powers. 

Without his finesse of control, Darcel would have been jumped on Aniela years ago. Furthermore, he also would push down any other random beauties because it so pleases his Yin Pleasure desires. 

But, none of this will ever come to fruition. 

Through his slave years in the Parsol Orgaznation, he forcefully tempered himself to always keep his calm. 

He absolutely needed this temperament since any wrong move, and his life could've been actual hell at the hands of those scientists and doctors.

Afterward, Darcel's temperament only grew. It significantly transformed after the disastrous meeting with the yellow-eyed woman. 

Nowadays, Darcel was coming to learn to split his resolve for power and dining in fleshly and soul pleasure with both Aniela and Masami.

So something like this mere Magical crimson energy instincts was nothing but a tick to him! 

With nothing but his own powerfully determined will, Darcel crushed the aggressive instinct by simply using his Magical Sense, unleashing the final dam burst of crimson Magical energy!

'Hu~!' 

An immense tidal wave of Magical Energy, greater than what he gushed out before, released from Darcel like a hurricane. 

The Magical Energy burst dispersed the blinding crimson shade, revealing Darcel's new figure to the world.

Sprouting from his back like they were some kind of Spirit Monster tendrils were beautifully bright Magical crimson Siren chains! 

Each crimson chain exuded a pure threatening vibe as if it could tear through anything in the world.

"Ahh?!/What the?!" 

Even Aniela and Masami awoke from their Magical concentration, their voices overlapping simultaneously. All at once, they sensed an immense power that caused even them to feel threatened.

Immediately, their eyes snapped towards Darcel's Siren Chains as if they had a natural magnetic pull emitting out from there. 

When seeing the Siren Chains, the girls went rigid, their eyes lighting up in a mix of shock and glee.

"So he once again surpasses us but holy. Darcy power….it feels so, so….intense!" Aniela blurted her shock. 

Tiny beads of sweat were even slowly dripping down her cheek.

"This guy must always be in the spotlight. But sheesh! This is really overboard. How is his power so intense just from this one damn Art?" 

Masami didn't hold back her thoughts. She, just like Aniela, could feel small beads of sweat trickled down her cheek. 

Their sweat wasn't from fear. But rather attempting to bear the full brunt of Darcel's power in their base state.

Typically, this would be no issue for them. However, now, they genuinely felt they were pushing against a heavy force. 

And as their awe grew, another feeling began to rise in the girls.

They can't just let Darcel get massively farther than them. They also were insane geniuses! 

The girls firmly believe if Darcel can do it, then they can as well. At that moment, their competitive spirit burned with great intensity.

Right then, a soft smile broke out on Darcel's face. If he keeps on performing like this, he's glad it raises the girl's burning drive. 

Repeated moments like this, and Darcel was sure he can get the girls back on track.

Pushing these thoughts down, for now, Darcel flung open his eyes. Under Aniela and Masami's burning gazes, he cracked his neck a bit, adjusting himself to this new power flowing throughout him.

"Amazing. This is just the low success stage, but I already feel far more power than before." Darcel spoke his honest feeling. 

By just thinking about moving his Siren Chains, he could accordingly sway each chain to his will.

As he did so, Masami loudly snorted, crossing her arms with a slight huffy expression. "Hmph. And now you just want to show off. But don't get too lax, Darcel; we'll catch up soon enough!"

Darcel only gave a calm smile in return, which only serves to make Masami's brow twitch in annoyance. 

On the other hand, Aniela wryly smile, casually shrugging her shoulder as she said,

"Ah. Let's not harp on this too much, Sami. In fact, now that Darcel's the first one done, shall we do something more engaging?"
