Chapter 125 : Transformation
"According to the library book, this flower only blooms every 500 years," Elsa joined the conversation with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes. "They also say that with the help of this flower, a lineage can be awakened. And there are five!" Her voice resonated with enthusiasm as she approached one of the flowers, kneeling with reverence and delicately taking it in her hands.
Realizing that there were five flowers, I quickly deduced that one was for Elsa, another for Lysandra, one for me, and another for Ema. With this assignment in mind, I picked up the fifth flower and stored it in my ring. Then I took the fourth flower and also stored it, preferring to keep it safe for now, as I didn't need it at the moment.
Lysandra looked at Elsa seriously and warned her, "Don't eat the flower yet. We need to create a suitable mana-filled environment for the process." After a few seconds of reflection, she pulled out a pair of mana crystals with a determined gesture. I observed the crystals with a mixture of admiration and resignation; Lysandra had taken control of all those high-grade crystals.
Although I knew she needed them more than I did at the moment, I felt somewhat frustrated by my own lack of skill in manipulating mana. I decided not to touch any crystals until I entered the academy and learned how to use them properly.
"It's okay," Elsa responded barely, her voice trembling with excitement as she continued to admire the flower in her hands with reverence and awe. Her blue eyes gleamed with intense light, reflecting the deep connection she felt with that special flower.
Lysandra began to pull out a superior-grade stone, along with others of high grade, and formed a kind of circle around Elsa. With determination, I joined the process, collaborating with her in the creation of the stone circle. Several more minutes of intense concentration passed before Lysandra broke the silence with her words.
"Darling," she began, addressing me gently, "since Elsa's aura was created with your help, she also needs your assistance at this moment. What you have to do is quite simple: just activate your aura and surround Elsa's body with it. The rest will depend on herself."
The air around Elsa became heavy, saturated with a considerable amount of mana. The stones on the ground began to glow faintly, as if responding to the density of mana in the environment. Lysandra spoke seriously, marking the beginning of a process that promised to be long and demanding.
"Let's begin. This process may take a few days, I estimate maximum about 3 days or so," Lysandra announced, assessing the magnitude of the challenge we had ahead. "But you must be attentive to mana depletion. I'll be behind you, helping you channel my mana into your body, and you in turn will pass it on to Elsa."
Elsa settled in the center of the circle, closing her eyes to control her emotions and focus inward. Several minutes passed in total silence, as the air became charged with anticipation. Suddenly, Elsa, with her delicate hands, brought the flower to her mouth with determination.
Instantly, I activated my aura, and a soft darkness began to surround Elsa's body, forming a mysterious halo around her. I closed my eyes, focusing on the process, allowing my own essence to merge with the flow of mana surrounding Elsa.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside my soul. In front of me was the small fairy, five centimeters tall, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and joy as she watched me. After a few seconds, her small hands moved in a gesture of greeting, and a sweet smile formed on her face.
"I missed you too," the fairy murmured tenderly, nodding her head in a gesture of complicity and affection. Gently, the fairy settled into my hands, filling me with a sense of warmth and connection.
With a sweet voice, I addressed the little fairy resting in my hands. "Could you help me purify my mana to help Elsa?" Lysandra's affirmative response indicated that with the help of the fairy, we could complete the process in a single day. For that reason, I decided to seek the collaboration of the fairy, knowing that her contribution would be invaluable.
I saw a flash of confusion in the fairy's eyes at first. For a few moments, she began to flutter in the air with her silent laughter echoing through the place. However, she then settled gently on my shoulder, and with a series of small head movements, she nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you for your help," I expressed gratitude to the little being after a few moments of hesitation. "I'm almost reaching the gold rank, so you'll be able to leave this place and enter whenever you want, okay?" the little fairy's hands began to glow as she started to fly, her eyes filled with anticipation, I chatted a little with the little fairy and left my soul.
Elsa's body began to glow with a dazzling intensity, emitting a brightness that filled the entire space around her. Under her feet, the ground began to slowly transform into ice, reflecting the light with crystalline sparkles. From her body emanated a translucent white substance, which seemed to radiate purity and power.
As I watched in wonder, I noticed that my own aura was becoming clearer and brighter. The darkness that surrounded me began to blend with the fairy's mana, and small specks of light began to appear around me. Even the flames, which had previously burned fiercely, seemed to soften, emitting a serene and comforting glow.
A smile formed on my lips as I watched the spectacle. It was evident that the little fairy was purifying my mana, infusing my being with a new clarity and strength.
At that moment, I felt a profound gratitude toward the little being accompanying me in this important process, increasing the amount of aura over Elsa's body, it began to emit an even more dazzling glow, and likewise, the amount of translucent white substance increased even more.
