Short summary of the last chapter:

Spoiler : Voice mind washed a few thralls, and experimented on them with his Forced Evolution ability. At the end he decided to temporarily send them into his dungeon, and see why it was that the dragons couldn’t destroy his city.

Voice waited until midnight. When the night sky was at its darkest, he lifted off. Activating his squirrel ring, he pushed himself into the air. At the same time, he cloaked himself in thick darkness mana.

By maintaining his flight with occasional gusts of wind, and leaving the top part of his body uncovered by darkness mana, Voice was able to fly without using any actual mana. His mana regen added enough mana per second that he could fly indefinitely without a drop in mana.

Aided by his Streamlined body, and his high purity in wind mana allowed him to move at speeds that were comparable to his speed buff. It was a long flight, about sixteen hours, but his city finally came in to view.

Voice stopped in midair. He had dissipated the darkness mana around him several hours ago, so his body was clearly visible from all angles. Hundreds of monstrous flying lizards were bombarding his castle with all manner of attacks.

Most cast a variety of magic at the building. The magical attacks were all absorbed by some sort of magical barrier. Whenever the magic attacks looked like the might hit the walls of the castle, they began to whirl, and instantly disappeared.

No matter how many attacks were leveled at the castle, they would end up becoming some sort of whirlpool, and disappear.

Some flew at the castle, and attacked it by biting or clawing, but slowed down to a crawl the closer they got. Voice couldn’t tell what was going on with the dragons, at least not until he tried looking for the mana signatures.

By concentrating on one thing, mana, he could see much further and clearer. Of course the downside was the fact that other things he wasn’t specifically looking for.

When the mana came within several dozen feet of the castle, eight circles would light up. The circles were not all actually in the castle. Some of them were buried within the mountain.

The mana purifiers are causing it? Really?

It was indeed the mana purifiers. Whenever a magical attack neared the outer area connecting them, they would all light up. They absorbed any type of mana thrown at them, although some seemed harder than others.

When the dragons tried to approach physically, they would be met with the resistance of intense mana. The mana purifiers seemed to keep any mana that got near them, within a certain distance.

One dragon shot out a long rivet of lighting at the castle. When it got within the area of effect from the purifiers, it slowed down to a crawl, but did not stop. Voice watched the phenomenon with interest.

First the light was sucked away from it, as the light mana purifier was the closet. When the light disappeared, the lightning became nothing but heat and electricity.

The heat was sucked away next. It was like shaving a carrot extremely slowly. The heat was sapped away until none of it was left. The only thing left was cold lightning. Energy that couldn’t do any real damage besides pure electric damage to anyone. It couldn’t even cause an area to burn without the heat it would naturally create.

Next the wind was absorbed, then the metal. When the metal was taken away, the electricity became only a thin wisp of existence. The earth, water, darkness, and finally nature were all taken away from the long stream of lightning.

Still, something else remained. A different kind of something. It was a type of mana Voice had never seen, but was intimately familiar with.

That’s Pure Mana!

The Pure Mana kept going. Past the absorption of the giant diagram. Past the walls of the castle. The mana gathered in the center of the diagram.

Voice blanched. Each of the eight pieces of the diagram glowed with an imaginable amount of mana. The fire mana purifier seemed like it would be able to melt mountains. The wind mana purifier was so dense, it could instantly level a forest if it were all unleashed.

Around the purifiers was a mesh of chaotic mana. The mana was slowly but surely getting sorted out, and absorbed by the mana purifiers. In the center was an area devoid of any brands of the mana. Instead of fire mana, water mana, or some other type, it was all concentrated Pure Mana.

The instant Voice noticed this, he used his light speed spell. He flew through the oncoming dragons. Weaving through them wasn’t difficult at first. They seemed to ignore him completely. One moment he was flying without resistance, the next it seemed as if every dragon around his town was turned towards him.

His speed boost made him move 15 times as fast as normal. His fly speed was already faster than a normal car. Using both, he could go several hundred miles an hour. Honestly, his mind couldn’t keep up with speeds that high. He solely relied on his Instant Analysis to plot out the correct path for him to take.

The dragons simultaneously let out angry roars. Voice was the one that killed their Matron! He had to perish! But he was moving too fast. In a single moment, all of the dragons let loose attacks. Instead of trying to wear down the castle, which was a pointless endeavor, they sent it towards him.

“Ha! This? This is your power!?”

Voice scoffed as he absorbed the mana that came towards him. Any mana that came within a dozen feet of him instantly dismantled itself as it bent to his will. Voice used the mana he gained from the attacks, to send attacks of his own.

Hell fire shot towards the dragons. The dark flames that could burn anything, were intercepted by still other dragons’ attacks. The dragon’s magic overpowered the black flame in an instant, causing a huge explosion behind Voice.

Voice borrowed the force of the explosion to propel himself even faster. Voice took no damage, because the wind mana that made up the explosion bent to his will when it reached within twelve feet of him.

Attacks rained down on Voice, but he sent all of them back. The sheer volley of magical mayhem that happened in the few moments it took Voice to reach his castle, easily eclipsed the amount of mana used in the game up to that point.

Voice was approaching the walls of his castle too quickly. At the rate he was going, he would splat against them like a bug. When Voice was only a hundred feet away, he used all of his remaining wind mana to push himself to slow down.

The force of the explosions still happening behind him made him feel like he was being crushed from two sides. His health began to drop rapidly. Without waiting, he activated Major Heal Over Time, and made the duration permanent.

His health quickly stabilized, and even began regenerating. The damage still hurt, but Voice could ignore the pain thanks to Complete Immunity. His speed began to drop drastically. The perfectly sculpted stone wall began to grow larger and larger. Voice closed his eyes in anticipation of the impact.

When he got within several dozen feet, he felt his control over mana lessen. He had to fight for his spells to be maintained. He allowed the attacks of the dragons to hit him. All elements of potential damage collided on Voice’s body.

Fire and lighting were in especially large amounts. His natural ability to control mana around him stopped much of the mana from hitting. That which did make it past his dozen foot orb of control, had to contend with the absorption of the purifiers. Very little magic actually managed to hit Voice, at least compared to what the dragons fired at him.

The amount of damage to his body was further halved thanks to the mana stone he used long ago. Voice ignored the pain as best he could, but the damage was starting to stack. His health was actually dropping, despite the health buff.

Voice quickly lost 60 health. He had to pay full attention to his health buff, speed buff, and wind mana to decelerate. Should he ignore even one of them, he would likely perish.

When Voice’s hp dropped to 40, he noticed the magical attacks had stopped. He also noticed his magic begin to deplete at an insanely quick rate.

What? I This didn’t happen before! Is this EDITOR’s doing?

Voice could only curse inside his head.

He angled his body to crash through one of the few windows on the same level as his mana purifiers. He cast a bolt of metal mana before him, but it was quickly sucked away. Voice braced himself by tucking his head into his arms, and hitting the window with the side of his body.

His health had fully regenerated, but quickly depleted again. Voice watched as it went down by a point, ten points, fifty, seventy, before finally stopping at only 20 points of health remaining.

The moment it stopped, his health fully regenerated. Voice looked around.

“I’m past the barrier… but where am I?”

Everything around him seemed to have been shrouded by a thick white mist. At the edge of the mist, was a spectrum of colors. The colors went from red to blue to brown, as Voice looked from his fire purifier to the one for water to earth.

Congratulations! You have entered a ‘Pure Mana Zone’. Magic will be enhanced by 900%. No magical attacks may enter or exit the area. Pure Mana Zones are bordered by Pure Chaotic Zones. A Pure Chaotic zone can be used to upgrade any fairy up to rank 4, without the need for additional quests. Once a fairy is in the Pure Chaotic Zone, you must simply will it to evolve.

*Note: This is an abomination against the elder gods.

If Eight Rank 4 fairies of different types are present, you may create a Pure Fairy, at the loss of all eight other fairies.

*Note: The owner of the most powerful fairy will have control over the Pure Fairy.

“I can do what now!?”

I can summon a Pure Fairy. Obviously a fairy that cane manipulate Pure Mana. Pure Mana basically lets me use any type of mana. But is it worth it?

Voice could see a lot of potential in the Pure Mana Fairy, but losing the eight others didn’t really make much sense to him. Although the single fairy, going by the way Pure Mana worked, would have nine times the amount of mana of any one fairy.

Fairies took power from the god that created them. So that meant the Pure Mana Fairy would take power from the void god. But then Voice had a brilliant idea.

He called out each of his fairies, one by one. None of them seemed to notice the Pure Mana, but did feel the intense amount of mana from their respective mana purifiers. Voice bade each of them go to their respective mana purifiers.

The first one to get to the position was Sol. Sol sent a message upon arrival. “Master! I feel great! It’s like I’m absorbing power! I feel like I might even be able to increase my rank! But Mar probably wouldn’t like that. She might get mad at us if I did.”

Voice placated him by promising not to do something like that. After each of the fairies made it, Voice began his plan. He left his fairies in the purifiers, and began to draw more inscriptions on the ground. He then brought out eight vials of liquid. He placed the vials inside of a smaller version of the purifier set up.

When he was happy with his work, he activated the Pure Chaotic Zone ability.

Instead of looking at the cool bonuses he knew the fairies would give, Voice activated the ability of the Pure Mana Zone.

Each of the mana purifiers lit up like the sun. Mana was sucked away from each of them, and pumped into the center of the area. The Pure Mana Zone, quickly became saturated with all eight mana types. The eight types of mana congealed into the form of a human figure. Over the course of ten seconds the figure began to take on Voice’s appearance. It started with the general body type, then the hair and muscles. Finally the facial features all became identical to Voice’s. As the process continued, the Pure Mana in the area, noticeably dropped in quantity. Quick enough for the eye to see, the Pure Mana cascaded into the figure Voice was summoning.

The eight mana types shot out from the body, as if repelled by some greater force.

NOW!

Voice activated the other array he had made.

He had drawn characters for binding and absorbing. The binding held the man in the center motionless, and forced the eight vials of liquid to draw towards him. Another, slightly larger, array, forced all mana in the area towards Voice.

As the being opened his eyes, the eight bottles broke open. The being let out an ear piercing wail, as the blood of eight gods flowed into it.

“Sorry bud. I can’t handle taking in the blood of the gods, but I’ll use you as a proxy and get the benefits anyway.”

Due to the runes placed around the being, the blood began to fuse to him. At the same time, Voice walked over to him. Voice laid down beside the creature, and their bodies began to slowly fuse together. Voice had the idea of fusing to the Pure Mana Being, because of the fact that he could fuse the fairies together. Since magic was 900% more powerful here, it also meant runes were 900% more powerful.

Voice’s body slowly absorbed the other. The other figure could do nothing to resist. Not only did Voice have almost absolute control over any mana near him, he also had laid down enough runes to cripple the Pure Mana Being he knew was coming. The Pure Mana Being also had to fight the other mana types flowing into his body.

Voice slowly consumed the being of mana. In less than a minute it was done. But the power of the gods’ blood didn’t stop with the mana being. It began to tear at him from the inside. Voice gritted his teeth, and used his favorite ability as of late.

“FORCED EVOLUTION!”
