Chapter 32 Core 2

Hearing that I let the mana enter my body, mana slowly enter my body, and mana fully spared in my body, I can feel that mana is running through my entire body, and as they run through my body, I feel that my body is becoming hot, as if someone has set fire to my body and that fire is slowly burning it.

But this isn't harming me, and as my body absorbs mana, I notice that this sensation grows stronger with each passing moment.

" Lucifer I know you'll feel like your body is burning from within and becoming stronger, but this is normal; it will hurt, but you have to do it; even if you feel like your body is about to burst, don't think about stopping." I can hear how serious Mother Sera is when she says this.

Well, she is the oldest and smartest, so she knows more than me. After her order, I did as she said and let mana continue to travel through my body. A little time later, I notice that my body is extremely hot and burning. I want to scream, but if I do, this will cease.

When sera sees me, her hand trembles; she can tell that I am in a lot of pain, and she can see that my entire body is red.

But she knows that everyone has to go through this to become core, and Lucifer is no exception. When she noticed Lucifer's body stopped absorbing mana, she knew Lucifer's body had absorbed enough mana.

She quickly said to him"Lucifer, your body has absorbed enough mana; now you take this mana in your stomach and try to gather them. As you gather them, you have something that you are using your natural element in your stomach".

"When you think you'll see that there's a nature element of energy, try to merge mana and nature element, and if you fail, try again and again." She stated.

Hearing that, I concentrate my thoughts to control my mana and direct them to my stomach. When I do so, I feel that all of my body heat is being sent to my stomach, which is filled with boiling water.

But I didn't stop, and I let the mana flow within my stomach, and eventually all of my mana got inside.

While doing so, I focused my attention on my stomach and said to myself, "Heal." As I did so, I saw a green form come to my stomach, and as it did, I felt a cooling sensation.

I take my mana and nature element energy and strive to get closer together, as if someone had put an ice cube within my stomach, as sera recommended.

But it takes a lot of thought force to do that. I can still persuade them to congregate, but when they get close, like oil and water, they can't merge and run away from each other.

I try to join them once more, but just like before, when they get closer, they start running in various ways.

I try again and again, and as I try, I notice that my hard work is paying off; now I can approach them closer without them running away, but they are still like stubborn children that refuse to listen to me.

But, like a parent, I don't give up, and I try to merge them, and some time later I feel that both of them start to merge little by bit. When it was nearly done, vines sprang out of the ground and slowly tried to cover me up.

As she saw that her face became joyful and a smile bloomed on her face, she remarked, "Great Lucifer, it appears that you successfully merged them together; now you just have to make your own core." And don't be afraid of this vine; it's just attempting to gather as much mana in the air as it can to build core and temper your body."

I didn't really understand what she was saying because my entire attention was focused on forming the core directly. As I tried to compare both energies, I felt both mana and natural energy escape my control and begin to surge at full speed and get closer.

As they grow closer, I notice that they merge into one and that a strong energy is released from my body, yet this energy does not leave the vine and begins to be absorbed by my body.

And I have the impression that this vine is gathering mana from the air and sending it to my stomach, directly to the core, which is currently in progress.

As the mana arrives, I see that their glow grows stronger and stronger.

Some time later, I notice that a green core has formed inside my stomach, and this core is all green, with no other colors mixed in; it is completely pure green and gorgeous.

As my core absorbs vine energy, I can see that this vine is surrounding me. They little by little become dark like they have been burned by fire, and as they totally turn black, they start to leave my body and disappear in the air.

But as this vine leaves my body, I feel as if I am losing my skin and creating a new body; I can feel the air in my surroundings, and when I open my eyes, it appears as if my body has become new; I can see mana in the air, as if someone has painted color on the air. I'm not sure why I'm thinking about this.

"Lucifer Lucifer, are you fine?" I thought to myself when I heard Mother Sera's anxious and loud voice.

Snap

Hearing her voice, I pull out of my thoughts and gaze at her, who has a bright smile on her face and two cute dimples.

"What happened, mother sera? Why are you screaming like this?" I inquired softly.

"Lucifer, are you okay? You can see and hear me, right?" She hurriedly inquired.
