Chapter 1469: Endless possibilities
Rain’s mind buzzed with a bunch of ideas for artifacts, each one a testament to his creativity and ingenuity. The possibilities seemed endless as he considered the combinations of skills and effects that could be put together to create powerful and versatile tools. However, amidst the sea of potential artifacts, one goal stood out above all others: the quest to increase his access to mana to unprecedented levels.
Mana was the lifeblood of his magic, the source from which he drew power to fuel his spells and abilities. With greater access to mana, Rain knew that he could unleash even more devastating attacks and push the boundaries of his abilities to new heights. But it wasn’t just about raw power. It was also about efficiency and sustainability. Rain wanted to reach a point where he could recover all of his mana in a matter of seconds, allowing him to maintain a relentless onslaught of magic without ever running dry.
It was a difficult goal, to be sure, but Rain was focused. He knew that with enough determination and perseverance, anything was possible. He had already overcome countless challenges in his journey thus far, and this would be no different. With each passing day, he delved deeper into his studies, exploring ancient texts and arcane rituals in search of the secrets of mana manipulation.
"Most of the ideas are of tools that will be useful in combat, but it would be easy to destroy them, and the enemies would realize their effects too," Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "It is better not to rely on those... but this idea might work. One at a time."
Rain’s first idea was to create a relic like the stomp the machine gods used to completely empty Earth. Doing the same in their territories would be pretty fun... However, he changed his mind.
After Rain was done with the preparations, he could tell that his mana regeneration had increased a bit... it wasn’t by a large amount, but as he kept preparing over time, the difference would pile up and eventually become massive. Those kinds of small victories pile up and eventually make all the difference.
"What did you do exactly?" Elisabetha asked. "I can tell that you are recovering mana faster, but you just teleported around for no apparent reason."
"If you think like that, then I succeeded," Rain said. "For now, it is better if you don’t know what I am doing."
Lvl 60: Mana Resonance - Establishes harmonious resonance between crafted materials and ambient mana flows, enabling passive augmentation and refinement of abilities. Increases the effects of the relics by ten percent per level on ambients that affect them positively.
Lvl 65: Mana Transfiguration - Mastery over the alteration of physical properties and states of matter, allowing for instantaneous transformation and adaptation in various situations.
Lvl 70: Mana Embodiment - Infuses crafted materials with sentient mana consciousness, granting them autonomy and intelligence to act independently or in coordination with the practitioner. Increases the learning speed of the artificial intelligence by ten percent per level.
