Chapter 488 - Taming the Inheritance - 2
The control chamber was surrounded by a barrier that caught Julius’s attention because it only kept the mana crystals out but let everything else pass through.
Ren’s beast was in the middle of the chamber, atop an enormous and perfectly circular golden crystal that served as a pedestal. And its mouth was completely full of something oval, almost spherical, that seemed to be almost the same size as itself.
"What does it have in its mouth?" Luna asked, fascinated by the image of the small fungus struggling to swallow something so large.
Surrounding the golden crystal were just over a hundred pedestals illuminated by mana, with potions on each of them, forming a perfect circle around the great transparent barrier that protected the center.
Most interesting was a column that seemed to be the one distributing the main mana ray to all systems. It had seven crystals of different colors embedded in its surface, each pulsing with a unique rhythm.
"The colors of the 7 basic elements," Dragarion immediately identified.
When the fungus finally finished swallowing the thing it had in its mouth, it began to glow with a light they had never seen before.
Ren immediately relaxed in the king’s arms, the pain he had been experiencing visibly fading from his face.
"He looks better," Luna observed with relief.
"Much better," Liora agreed.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, Ren also began to glow.
It wasn’t the blue light of concentrated mana or the golden light of the fungi they had seen. It was something completely different, a green-blue luminosity that seemed to emanate from within and that made the air around him feel cleaner, purer.
