Chapter 55: Chaos Magic

While Nexus was having his fun, Marcus went to the Destrucstone. He wanted to check the study if there were notes or books on Chaos Magic. He couldn't sit around and wait for his memories to hand it to him.

Right now, he's just hoping that he could find something in the study. Something that could finally help him cultivate Chaos Magic. He didn't need a guide with Destruction Magic as he is a natural with it.

Marcus opened the door. The room had an area of 200 square meters. On the backside of the room, there was a window in the middle. In front of that window is a rectangular wooden table with one cushioned chair.

On the table, there were different kinds of papers and books. Marcus already read them and they were topics that were not important right now. On the walls, there were several maps of places. He had no idea where some of those places were so he didn't mind it.

He walked to one of the dozen cabinets that were placed on the side and opened it. His bare feet stepped on the cold wooden flooring. He tried to rack his brains on where he placed the books in his past life. The cabinets might not look like they could hold a lot of books on the outside, but if you check inside, the space it held was huge.

Marcus searched for the notes he made pertaining to Chaos Magic. He has not fully remembered how to train in this type of magic. What he does remember are those things past the beginner stage. Something he couldn't use.

Marcus arrived at the fourth cabinet and opened it.

"Eureka!" He shouted as he finally found the book. He looked at it with a grin on his face. On the cover, it said 'Chaos Magic - The Basics'.

Marcus opened it. There was something written on the first page.

He read the writing. "No one is truly a conqueror unless they have mastered both Destruction Magic and Chaos Magic."

It was written by him in the past. This was when he first came in contact with chaos magic and started practicing it.

Marcus chuckled. "This sounds really dramatic now that I read it."

Marcus took a deep breath and started flipping the pages. Before he got lost in it, he left the study and went to the training room.

Marcus sat crossed-legged as read the notes.

'A person can only cast chaos magic by having chaos mana in his or her body. The more chaos mana you have, the more spells you can cast. The purer your chaos mana, the stronger and more effectual your spells will become.' Marcus silently read.

He continued 'To get chaos mana in your body, you first have to create chaos essence. It may sound like a lot of work, but it's not. To create chaos essence you just need to gather them from the mana around you with 'Chaos Gathering Spell'.'

Marcus could no longer contain his excitement as he happily swayed left and right. From his memories, he already saw what Chaos Magic can bring to the battlefield. Though he was excited, he still kept reading.

'What can Chaos Magic do? On the very, very basic level, it could empower your attack. You can infuse chaos mana in your spell and make it stronger. The more, the stronger. Next, on a higher level, you could manipulate the minds of both the living and the dead.' Marcus's eyes lit up as he read this.

"This can totally go with 'Army Manipulation!" Marcus shouted.

He calmed himself down and continued reading.

'If the person is too strong for you to fully manipulate, you can just control their emotions. Yes, there is a spell that can let you control your opponents emotions. You might not be able to control their actions but you'll have influence over their emotions. On a higher level, you could use this kind of spell on a lot of people and cause mass hysteria. You will also be able to summon natural disasters. Heavy Rain, Tsunami, and Earthquakes are examples of the different types of disasters. You can also tear space and open another one a few meters, kilometers, planets away. That means you can teleport.'

Marcus liked these ones too. With the first spell, he could have the people support him and for the second spell that was mentioned, he could make it rain as much as he wants. He detests sunny places as he could never get used to them. He's more of a rainy, gloomy surrounding kind of guy, something he's much more used to.

Marcus stopped reading. He already knew a few of them since he saw his past self use it.

With a bright smile on his face, he started cultivating. The mana he gets in the Destrucstone is from the outside world.

Marcus slowly did what the book instructed and started using the 'Chaos Gathering Spell'. Marcus couldn't feel anything yet.

Time went on and a scarlet-like fog surrounded him. The scarlet-colored fog got thicker and it slowly spread around the room.

Marcus finally did the second step of the spell. The scarlet fog around the room slowly went towards him, condensing in the process. It also changed color. The once scarlet color changed into vermillion.

Hours later, after taking all of the condensed chaos essences, inside his body, he now has a bit of chaos mana separated from the normal mana he has. Think of oil and water in a container, something similar to that.

Marcus opened his eyes. The bright smile that's plastered on his face said it all. He casted lightning javelin and tried injecting a bit of his new chaos mana in it. He could feel his spell getting unbalanced, he could feel it starting to go on a frenzy, and a bit more powerful

He sighed and slowly made the spell disperse.

'One step closer!' He thought as he stood up and stretched his body, a lot of his bones cracked in the process. Marcus then went out of the Destrucstone and arrived back in his room, inside the house they bought in Estra.

His bed had white sheets, black foamed headboards, and black oak flooring. There was a lamp near his bed and a few pieces of furniture around.

Marcus looked at the window and saw that the sun was up. He checked his watch and saw that it was already 10 am. He took a deep breath and went to the shower.

After that, he went downstairs, refreshed and happy. Marcus made his way to the dining area and saw that no one was there.

'They probably went to meet Eva's sister. Damn! I hope Big Sis is not mad about me not being able to go with them.' Marcus thought.

He went to the table and saw that there was food. So he sat down and turned the tv on. He also checked his watch for messages and saw that Eva sent her one. It precisely says that she's going to meet with her sister today.

'I guess I'll just have to finish the list. Hmm, I already have the Xalia's and Minser on board. One last family left.' Marcus evilly smiled.
