[A/N: Ahem, this chapter is big and wonderful, and I've tried to simplify the magic stuff, so I hope you can tell me your thoughts in the comment section once you finish this chapter ^.^ Thank you, and happy reading.

At the island's seashore, Erix stood with his Iron Flower skill activated beside him while his gaze was transfixed on a floating octahedral-shaped metal shard.
'No way… Did it work?'
Excitement danced in his eyes as he willed, and another tiny iron shard was conjured as he consumed his Mana.
Unlike Rin and Isabella, who could produce lightning and fire by consuming Mana after gaining their affinity, he couldn't produce metal by consuming his Mana.
But when he used his Iron Flower skill, his Mana was surely consumed, and an iron flower was produced.
It essentially produced iron by consuming Mana.
