Ch. 13 Elemental Secrets

While Malpetios waited for the moment he could trade for Pure Mana.

In the outside world, near Snake Nest human troops marched to the location of the newly discovered Dungeon. A flag stood proudly in there ranks looking at it, a cross behind a white ball in the middle with six angel wings slightly closing around it. Arriving at there target they begin to build a base ten meters from the entrance

Sir Knight Avanlo, we are ready to deploy the Shackles however shouldn't we be on guard of the Beastmen. A man around his thirtys said to a youth on a horse.

This won't be necessary Sergeant Major Satra, the beastmen does not care for Dungeons there a nuisance if anything, the heretics will be glad for a breather after so many years of conflict, said the Knight.

To think that a Prismatic Dungeon Core really existed, the holy scripture describe them as the King's of Dungeons, however. A demonic smile appeared on the Knights face, all of the Dungeon Fairys are busy protecting the four Elemental Jewels if any are sent death, is there only outcome. With the Four Generals and there officers protecting the Wind Elemental Jewel, it has not yet been stolen by the Holy Beast King and there allies The Diamondback Emperial City heretics.

Deploy the Shackles, said the Knight while he attempted to absorb the Elemental Mana around him, the Elemental Mana however ignored him and continued to the Dungeon entrance. Mhmmm..... no wonder the peasants panic such, as there only tool to retaliate against there betters are removed from around them however. Taking a deep breath colorless mana is absorb slowly, the mana density here as escalated so quickly truly The King of there species.

While Avanlo absorb the mana purified by Malpetios the Sergeant Major ordered his troops. Deploy the Shackles!! I want this up in the next ten minutes, a thunderous YES SIR! was his reply. The soldiers began to set up a ring of stone around the whole entrance of the dungeon, each stone had a clustered of small gem shards about the size of a finger some the size of a nail, they were discolored some as clear as glass. The formation now looked like thirty stone disk chained together with only two disconnected serving as the entrance, the whole stone cover in markings of unknown origin.

Satra looked at the soldiers work in satisfaction, nodding he gave the command. Activate the Shackles! With his order the mages came forth and started to recite a spell the mana around the Dungeon entrance suddenly began to Spiral around the stone disks creating a bubble, were no Elemental mana entered the dungeon instead the discolored gem clusters now slowly brightening in different colors.

Avanlo frown and said, sigh... now the mana is quickly returning to is murky state, if only I could keep absorbing this unpolluted mana for a few weeks I'll finally reach rank four and be promoted to a true noble. After focusing on his mission to collect the core he order Satra to begin the mission briefing to the peasant army.

Attention troops! we're here to clean the dungeon and let sir Knight retrieve the helpless core in one piece. According to the church, we are facing a Prismatic Dungeon Core the most wild of all Cores, in ancient times this core only came about once each ten generations bringing with it war from the Fairy Army. The Core itself created malformed creations that Dark magic would feel inferior of. To prevent this core from endangering our borders it must be stop before the filthy Beastmen retrieve there armys on the Wind Element Jewel, or this will star a war with the Fairys to protect the Core. We can't let them use this as a springboard to our Holy Nation, the soldiers roar there confirmation and began marching to the entrance.

A one-thousand strong army quickly gathered, around three-hundred mages surrounded the Dungeon preventing any outsiders from interrupting, be it Beastmen or Fairys. Seven-hundred soldiers entered the hole, meanwhile inside the Dungeon Malpetios is having a bad time.

Dam it! my Elemental Mana! Looking at the Statistics my mana per second took a huge dive.

Prismatic Dungeon Core: Malpetios

Mana: 500/500

Elemental Mana: 320,904/421,474 (5,355 per hour)

Pure mana: 23

Mana stone(full) 21/24

I was finally finished with my Dungeons first floor and felt like something was choking me only to see my mana plummet, Q'ill started to comfort me.

Don't worry dear, what ever happens we are here together. She Cradle the top of my Gem her warmth calming me down. Now dear with no mana to absorb oh! Wait no your a Prismatic Core you should be able to absorb Elemental Earth right? I nodded and she gives me a smile, with this you can still maintain the Dungeon functions there's only one thing missing.

I replied for her, a Boss! I feel like in three hours I'll be able to convert mana again, by then I can finally feel a bit safe. Now that I think about it ain't the Shackles a bit to weak, sure it restrain's my mana to were i can't grow easily but I can make twenty-five Pure mana a day if I could.

Hearing my question Q'ill wonder as well, Dear if I remember well from my studies on the four Great Dungeons the Elemental Jewels, the Earth Jewel can only absorb about 1,785 mana when it was Shackled at your development stage.

Huh, that so.. wait!? something clicked in my brain at that moment, wait if I divide my current mana per second by that number it comes up to....three? That means that i am absorbing something else apart from Elemental Earth what could it be, water? Wind? No.... the wind in my cave is just normal wind no magic or Element to it, as for the water i made it myself out of Elemental Water aldo I can store it in my (Inventory & Resources Dimensional Storage) I can't convert it back to Elemental mana. With no Idea I ask Q'ill

Mhmmm..... Dear you are a Prismatic Dungeon Core there are still Elements not yet known, aldough there is probably some Cores out there with them they died in there cradle or are being kept secret by the Fairy Generals.

I keep thinking what possible Element could it be, with no ideas I thought about the games and novels of my human memories. A Element that remains no matter where, mmm... most Elements are base on real materials or phenomenon of nature sooo..., after a while I finally got an idea Space! That's right no matter were you are space is allways around you and if that is the second Element Time is the third, that's it! Space and Time Element! The system suddenly Responded.
