Absorbing the Nature Magic

Saito raised his face with a very determined expression in his eyes 'I will save him! Definitely!'

His emerald eyes shone with a bluish light; it was the first time in this world that he was actually determined to do something.

He started the bonfire and started to cook the meat. Meanwhile, as he was cooking, he was also talking to Iris 'Iris. You must have completely analyzed Reus by now. Tell me, what is the problem with his body and that mana?'

[Master, Reus's body and soul has fused with very strong Nature Mana. Normally, this would be a blessing for any person, but since he is so young. It has turned into a curse. The more he uses magic, the stronger his reserves will become just like anyone else, but the problem here is that his body is not strong enough to adapt to those reserves.]

[This sort of condition seems to stop after the body is of 16 years old of age. It's because the major growth which was supposed to occur in the body has already occurred.]

'I see…' Saito thought with a solemn expression.

The Shadow Lightning Wolves approached the bonfire to eat the meat. Smelling the scent, both the kids also left the house and sat near the bonfire.

There didn't seem to be a trace of worry on their faces. They were smiling as if they had no problems. Meanwhile, Saito was using all his brain cells to think up of a solution with which he could save Reus.

As he continued to stare at the meat, he suddenly had an idea and asked Iris 'What will happen if I use my Swallow skill and swallow his huge nature magic?'

[Master, the body you are inhabiting does not seem to be compatible with the Nature Magic. However, if you are successful in doing that, then Reus would need 3 years to recover back all his magic which would be simply perfect. Since after 14 years of age, he would have the body strong enough to hold any among of mana inside of him.]

Though there was a huge risk of his own body rejecting the Nature Mana, Saito was willing to try this possibility. He started to swallow down the meat with such speed that it embarrassed the wolves.

After eating the whole meat, Saito said to both the kids, "Listen, I have a solution to help out your brother. However, it's a bit risky…"

Both of them were excited to hear that he had a solution to help out Reus, but at the name of risk, they hesitated and were very nervous.

Saito continued, "…It's not risky for him. It's risky for me. Listen Reus, I need you to co-operate with me. I am going to absorb all the Nature magic within my body."

Saito didn't explain to them what the risk was all about but Lyra suddenly said, "No, that would be too risky for you, sir… umm…"

"Call me Axel." Saito understood why she paused and gave his name. Lyra continued to speak, "Sir Axel, I know that you are doing this for us but this is very risky for you. If the nature magic rejects your body and doesn't fuse with your own then it may try to destroy your body internally."

Saito gave a smile to her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I will be fine. I know many healing spells. So, I can heal myself if that happens. And this is the only way with which I can save your younger brother."

Lyra though shook her head, "I apologize brother Axel, I can't let you place your life at such great risk."

Saito was getting tired of her worries. So, he did what every logical person would do. He struck the back of her neck and made her fall unconscious.

Reus glared at Saito as he saw him hit his sister. He was about to speak something when Saito said, "Relax, she is just unconscious."

His eyes were finally serious when he looked at Reus, "Listen, Reus, I know you also don't want to place my life at risk. But listen to me, I have an idea, I will absorb your Nature Magic from your body, if I feel like it is rejecting my body then I will stop. This would surely give you another month or two to live… What is your answer? Do you wish to try and live or just die a worthless death?"

Saito was a stranger to them. However, Reus didn't know why but he felt that he could trust him. The nature element allowed him to guess who was a trustworthy person. And currently, it was telling him that Saito was trustworthy

Reus mustered up the courage to speak, "I-I wa-want to live. I want to live and protect my sister." Saito pats his head, "Good answer. Let's start now."

Both of them moved further away from the cottage. Reus sat down in a cross-legged position as Saito touched his head. He mentally used the skill 'Swallow!'

Reus held back his scream as he felt a strong power trying to tear apart his body and soul. The pain caught him off guard and he screamed out very loudly, "AAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......"

It was so loud that Lyra, who was supposed to be out cold until morning, woke up after some time. She closed both her ears due to this loud scream.

Saito concentrated on using his Swallow skill. He suddenly heard Iris speak up [Congratulations Master. Your body is fusing with the Nature Mana. It seems like the Hero's body has the affinity of all the elements in this world.]

Saito felt like cursing Iris a bit. It had scared him for nothing! Since this won't be dangerous, he used the Swallow skill to its full potential.

He wanted this to be over as soon as possible. Reus would experience greater pain, but it would be for a short time only.

The pain diminished a lot after a minute or two. He slowly stopped screaming and continued to hold back his scream. Meanwhile, Saito had begun to experience an even more excruciating pain than Reus.

Even though his body was compatible with Nature Magic, it was still going to be fused in the traditional manner. Break down and reconstruct!

The pain was slowly and slowly increasing in his body and soul. It was being reconstructed in order to hold the Nature magic, he never expected this much pain in this process.

He nearly lost consciousness three times but he held on. He knew that if he stopped now, he would have to start once again and take on this pain again. Saito possessed an impressive willpower and endured!

The whole process took half an hour and Saito finished extracting the extra Nature Magic from Reus's body.

Reus fell unconscious after so much magic had been forcefully extracted from his body.

Saito's whole body was overflowing with magic. He stared at Lyra, who had woken up, and spoke out in a tired tone, "Go and take your brother back to his bed. He has been completely treated now. He doesn't need to be worried about the extra magic in his body."

As he finished saying that, he fell down on the ground. The reconstruction in his body had started as he thought 'Damn… It pains so much. I didn't think I would have to endure so much pain.'

He heard Iris speaking some words [Congratulations master, you have received a passive ability and title known as Nature's Champion. You are the closest person to the nature itself, your affinity with the nature is even greater than the so-called strongest Elf queen in history.]

[Nature Manipulation, with this skill, you can manipulate nature to an infinite extent as long as you put enough magic in it.]

[Due to the blessings of the Nature. Your charm towards the females has greatly increased.]

In this huge pain, Saito didn't even have the time to acknowledge the skill. The pain resistor skill he had simply worked on the physical pain, nothing could be done about the pain experienced by the tearing of soul.

He fell down unconscious because of the great pain. Reus had also fallen down unconscious but not because of pain, he had a very comfortable look on his face.

Lyra looked around and noticed Joergen sitting there. She poked him and woke him up. Joergen opened its eyes and stared at Lyra. Even though it didn't want to intimidate her, Lyra was still scared of Joergen.

However, she mustered up the courage and spoke, "Umm… Can you please take sir Axel back to his room? I will carry my brother back to the house."

Joergen looked at Lyra and then towards his master. He noticed that his master had fallen unconscious.

Joergen spoke, "Relax, I will carry both of them. I am very strong."

Before Lyra could reply, Joergen was already gone. It swiftly rushed towards the unconscious bodies of Saito and Reus with a heaven-defying speed.
