This caused the strength of the mana lines he drew to change drastically whenever the waves fell or rose.What he needed to do, was calm the waves down...Taking a deep breath, he directed his consciousness. Slowly, the turbulence in his energy flow subsided.'Good...'He attempted drawing the mana lines again, and this time, it worked perfectly... The thickness of the line was constant as he began tracing several patterns into the void.It was a strange feeling. To have the world as your canvas where you could paint whatever you wanted. Rhys was taken aback by how much he enjoyed it.Rhys continued tracing the image in his mind until he was finally done.Opening his eyes, he got to witness something truly wonderful. Floating before him, was a small and delicate magic circle. To him, the magic circle was more tangible than any other magic circle he had manifested before.{Congratulations to host... Your skill, {Seal}, has been upgraded to {Intermediate Seal}... }{Your knowledge and s

Rhys 's face paled significantly as he watched the creature that had been lurking within the hole step forward. Its entire body was revealed to him.'It's... It's her!'There, standing just a few meters away from him, was the true Primordial devil of Death.Rhys was shocked by the first word that came out of his mouth,"Small..."Not knowing what he was referring to, the female devil quickly put her hands up and covered her exposed chest,"The least you could do is not stare, you know...""I swear on my dead parents, I wasn't looking!" Rhys lied through his teeth.From another perspective, the body of the Primordial devil of Death could be deemed as very attractive. However, attractive was the last word that came into his mind when he thought of her. The word that appeared most was,'Dangerous...'She could kill him with a breath if she wanted to. Rhys knew this as a fact. Letting out a sigh, the female devil put her hands down and approached him,"You have kept your end of the bargai

The people he left behind on Urbus, Layla, Ignis, and Zara whom he had left in the Garden of Self-Reflection, and Cade , who for all intents and purposes, was most likely already dead. However, he still held a bit of hope. He knew for a fact that Cade wasn't someone to go down without a fight.Seeing the excited look on his face, Riva chuckled to herself."I guess better leave you alone, then..."It was Rhys 's turn to grin at her mischievously,"Well, before that..."***"And you called me crazy?!"Riva stared at Rhys with pure disbelief in her eyes.Rhys rolled his eyes, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Besides, as long as you keep your skill active, we are practically invincible, right?"Right now, Rhys and Evangeline, we're in the same cave the goblins and other Chaos creatures called home. However, they weren't in their usual hiding spot. Rather, they were on the walls.Rhys was using the special ability attached to the {Abhorent Devil Enchanted Gloves} that allowed him to ad

Even though the regular one was anything but regular. It just seemed awfully plain compared to the dragon heads."Time to get to work!" Rolling his sleeves up, Rhys placed his hand on the furnace. Then he tried pouring mana into it.Silence...Nothing happened for a while, causing him to take his hands off the scratched metallic surface.'Now that I think about it, should have gotten instruction manuals from that crazy old guy.' Rhys thought to himself.However, there was no point in crying over spilled milk, so he had to figure out a way on his own.He tried placing his hands all over the thing, but it just wouldn't start...In his frustration, Rhys kicked the base. However, he nearly fell to the ground as pain washed over him. Even with all his strength points, he couldn't even put a small dent in the metallic surface.'Damn it!'Rhys swore to himself and stared at the furnace with a dark expression.'How the hell do I start this thing?'With a sigh, he began studying the magic circ

Normally, the energy stored within mana shards, although volatile, is still kept contained. Rhys wanted to draw all of this energy out at once, which would result in a small-scale explosion. However, this explosion will be powerful enough for what he wants to do.The power within a grade 9 mana shard wasn't something to be laughed at, despite it being of the weakest grade. It was the center of power for a normal-grade creature. Hence, it contained a decent level of energy stored within. Using a grade 8 mana shard seemed like a waste as well.Since he had already created a section for the mana shards to sit within the explosive, it was now time to create the trigger. The explosive's initiator...This was the most important part of the device. Since he had no idea how to create a rune that would work as a trigger, he had to make use of physical means.By using a conditional rune, he could place another rune onto the trigger, such that once that condition was fulfilled, the rune on the t
