Chapter 110 [Bonus ] 110 - A Strange Crystal



"Take a deep breath, your mana is being introduced again" Ryan approached Sylvanna and placed one of his hands on the girl's back. Her body was hot and wet with sweat, she was shaking and panting, slowly losing her breath.

"That's it, take a deep breath" Ryan said, guiding her.

The two cubes that had been holding her mana were now replenishing. The speed of withdrawal and replenishment was increasing, and before long it became so fast that the process of withdrawing and placing energy was occurring hundreds of times per second. Her mana slowly approached zero and returned to full capacity, this caused the curse of eternal fatigue to weaken as for a few seconds, Sylvanna's body reached zero mana.

For a person with a natural mana reserve, reaching zero meant the same thing as running out of water for days. The chance of death was gigantic, after all, any process that required the use of mana would drain the person's vital energy. If Sylvanna came out of the ritual and tried to open the door to Ryan's house, she would die instantly, since the door requires a small discharge of mana.

After twenty minutes, the ritual was completed. Sylvanna was shivering, and with fatigue, she fell to the floor, sleeping peacefully. "She'll catch a cold if she lies here" Ryan said, as he ran one of his hands over her head and another over her legs. Lifting the girl up, he placed her on the couch.

In front of Ryan's eyes, the girl's window appeared.

----------

'The curse is gone' 

<And so is vampirism>

'So my idea worked...'

Now that the curse had been broken, for the first time in years, Sylvanna was able to sleep peacefully. Her body was tired and hot, but her face was calm and serene. Even in her sleep, she still had a smile on her face. "That's the best thank you I could ever receive" Ryan said, as he gently lifted her head to put a pillow on it. He then placed a blanket over her and removed the cubes from the center of the room.

'It's not that late...' Ryan concluded, looking at the kitchen clock.

Flashing with that red light, the clock read as 09:40PM. 

<The process was faster than I imagined>

'The intensity was high, so not much time was needed.' 

Returning to his office, he placed the five cubes on the wooden countertop. 

* Ring * * Ring *

Pulling his cell phone from his pocket, Ryan opened the screen to check the notification.

"A personal message from John?"

---------

[John Wrynn]: The portal mana readings are increasing, according to our data the next monster explosion should happen tomorrow during the afternoon.

[Jhohn Wrynn]: My eye of premonition is sensing that we will need you.

[Ryan]: Got it

Nyx was tinkering with the cube, swinging that box from side to side as she tried to open it. 

<This isn't working> She said, with a sad look on her face.

"Don't stare at me like a puppy, you didn't even try to do this the right way" Ryan said, taking the box from the succubus' hand.

Channeling some mana into his fingers, he began to squeeze the cracks of the box. With ease he managed to pull the top off one of the cubes, revealing a completely black crystal. The crystal was pulsing with a blue light, resembling somewhat the fruits of the abyss. 

"Isin't quite the same as..."

<Yeah...>

"So... I guess we find where the curse comes from..."

<It indeed looks like the energy flowing from the abyss>

Sylvanna's curse possessed an energy signature extremely similar to that of the abyss, enough to conclude that they were the same thing. "So, if we do this process on a large scale, we can purify that region" Ryan concluded. Turning his chair, he looked to the back of his office, where there were at least fifty dwarven magic cubes and other magic tools from the dwarven region.

Nyx and Ryan exchanged glances, both were smugly grinning from one side to the other. "I think this is going to make the guild indebted to us"

<Imagine how much they will pay us>

"Hehehehe"

<Hehehehe>

In the other cube, there was a red crystal with a slightly more intense essence. The energy that that crystal emitted was different from the almost demonic energy of the black crystal, it was a much more refined and elegant power. "So here is the vampire energy she possessed" Ryan said, carefully removing the crystal from inside the box.

<So she weakened? She must have lost quite a bit of power with that>

"Not exactly, it's pretty hard for a traveler to get weaker after losing vampirism"

<Hmm... That's weird>

"Why would it be?"

<I mean, there's so much energy here. And now it is out of her>

"The curse and vampirism went out along with her mana, so most of the energy is just stored inside this mana reservoir"

<Hmm... It makes sense>

"At least that's what the book says"

Ryan was looking intently at the crystal, holding it with a glove as he threw some light against the thing. Inside the crystal, it was as if it had some sort of extremely viscous red liquid, which glowed pulsing along with the frequency of the energy of that item.

"I'm going to need to scale this up" Ryan said, and then, removed the two crystals and stored them in a closed wooden box. Sighing, he looked out the window "If we can remove a curse, that means I can apply one. Right?"

Nyx appeared on the other side of the glass, gesturing yes with her hand.

"I had an interesting idea..."

<Oh! You're a really bad boy... Hehehe>
