— The effects of the ritual were really incredible! The monsters here are made up of an astonishing amount of mana. — said Augusto

— The messages I received earlier indicate that they are abysmal creatures. The [Purge] should have annihilated all the magic particles in my body, however, there seems to have been some magical dissonance, which altered the flow of magic and ended up sending me to the Underworld, specifically, to the abyssal creatures' home.

— Based on the descriptions I remember reading in the Hall of Truth, I must be in the Abyssal Nest.

The Abyssal Nest is an extremely dangerous environment for creatures of light.

— To survive here I will have to learn to manipulate energy from the darkness, considering that it is the great source of power of the creatures of this place. My fire magic draws a lot of attention. So I need to find a quick way to adapt to the environment and execute as many creatures as possible, then gather them and perform the offering ritual.

The offering rituals created a great magical vibe, and the local creatures were extremely sensitive to mana.

— First, I will check the condition of my body and find out if I still have any blessings.

The angel went on and used [Assess] on his body. Then some messages appeared in your consciousness:

[Augusto]

[Race: Angel]

[Age: ~ 1500 years old]

[Status: Injured]

[First Magic Circle]

[Blessings: Theory of Magic, Mystical Alteration, Ritual, Astrology, Philosophy of Mortals, Sacrifice.]

— It seems that the blessings I obtained while seeking knowledge have not been lost. But all the blessings I have earned on the battlefield have been withdrawn from me.

— HAHAHA, at least I will not feel indebted to Father.

"I have so much to learn, so much to achieve." Furthermore, [Purge] has erased my Magic Will. It seems that I will have to think of a new essential spell.

The Magic Will, was the essence that each magical creature possessed. When he served the Creator, Augustus had the desire for servitude, battle and worship. But his behavior began to diverge when he began his studies at the Hall of Truth.

— I need to think carefully when creating my Magic Will, because all my potential as a wizard will depend on it. Although I have a great magical affinity and a body forged for battle, I will not be able to continue fighting in the same way that I fought while I was a creature blessed by the Creator.

The Magic Will essentially defines the path that any magical creature will take in the future. Take Uriel as an example, his will was essentially battle, servitude, punishment. And his magical affinity was fire and light.

— Analyzing my trajectory, and the most remarkable events of my existence, I can extract elements to form my Magic Will.

— At the moment, I can only cast spells from the first circle. But my combat efficiency, along with my racial talents and the purity of mana in my body, allow me to exhibit a much greater fighting prowess.

— Besides, I am at the bottom of the nest, and this is an incredible advantage.

The creatures of the Abyssal Nest will climb the abyss as they become stronger. It is correct to say that at the bottom of the abyss is where the weakest monsters are. And the strongest creatures are at the top of the chasm, guarding the main gate.

— Now that I have analyzed my situation, I will hunt some creatures, heal myself completely and then form my Magic Will. Combat will offer me some important tips, and maybe I'll incorporate them into the Will to increase my chances of survival here.

— Furthermore, I must begin my study of dark energy while battling the abyssal beasts.

The angel got up and left the cave that was hidden in the periphery of the Nest. He kept all the mana condensed in his body, nourishing his muscles and stimulating the healing of his wounds.

Then it spread its wings and glided around the nest, watching the creatures that were being born. Suddenly, when I saw a monster with a bull that had 4 pairs of legs.

[Appraisal]

[Abyssal Creature — Tenebris Taurus]

[First Magic Circle]

Then he went down and summoned [Lava Stream] to trap the monster, and then [Lava Spear] and impaled the spear into the creature's mouth.

The impact of the fall and the magical fluctuation was perceived by the creatures around, however, the angel did not run away, he began to stab the approaching creatures, and when any more powerful monster approached it would fly and away until the creature move away.

— There are few creatures that are born with the ability to fly around here. I will take advantage of this and increase my hunting efficiency.

Augusto hunted for 3 whole days. Accumulating a large number of abyssal beast carcasses.

— I believe that this amount of offers will be enough to cure me completely. After the ritual, I will finally be able to form my Magic Will.

— During the battle I could see how the creatures absorb the energy of darkness to strengthen their bodies. However, the way these monsters use mana is completely clumsy.

— Instead of just strengthening my body. I must incorporate the characteristics of the element of darkness and begin to develop some spells.

The energy of darkness was an unstable element, with a high potential for curses and invocation rituals.

— Since the carapace of the bestial creatures are extremely resistant, perhaps I can create some curse to weaken them.

— I also need to think about how to absorb the power of these creatures more intelligently. Dragging these carcasses into the cave is a bit of work.

After dragging the monsters' carcasses to the cave, he performed the offering ritual again:

You got the energy of an abyssal monster!

You got the energy of an abyssal monster!

You got the energy of an abyssal monster!

You got the energy of an abyssal monster!

You got the energy of an abyssal monster!

...

You have successfully made several smaller offers!

Your understanding of the element of darkness has increased!

— This is incredible!! The feeling of strengthening me more and more is intoxicating !!

— For centuries I was stagnant, unable to increase my power because I was not wanted by the Creator.

— Now I only depend on myself to become stronger!

So the angel used [Appraisal] on himself:

[Augusto]

[Race: Angel]

[Age: ~ 1500 years old]

[Status: Healthy]

[Second Magic Circle]

[Blessings: Theory of Magic, Mystical Alteration, Ritual, Astrology, Philosophy of Mortals, Sacrifice.]

— I'm finally healed! And still manage to advance to the second circle.
