Silas walked into the kitchen; however, before taking more than one or two steps in, he looked down and rembered sothing.
Snapping his fingers, Silas waited montarily and watched his clothes change color. They slowly beca dark... Darker than any shadow out there. Darker than a pit with no visible end.
Then, it began to wriggle around, as if it was alive. However, Silas knew that wasn't the case. It was closer to being a shadow, if anything—a shadow that was alive, but still a shadow.
Silas had gotten this ability to remove and put on his clothes with a thought when he woke up after destroying a good portion of the misty forest.
He didn't know why it was happening, but his closest theory had sothing to do with the fact that, whenever he brought up his status, it would show question marks under his race.
It was weird, but it didn't really affect him in any major way, so he didn't mind it.
The shadow clothes seeped into his body, and there was nothing left on the outside that his own body had created. This was sothing he would see on a daily basis. His clothes quickly moved again, this ti at a much faster rate.
It slowly seeped into his skin, ground through the gaps between his cells.
When it was gone, the only thing that could be seen on Silas' body was the underwear he wore that he had made himself, not through the shadows, but by getting one of the most comfortable materials he could find on their continent and making it into underwear.
"Sigh... Now I'm going to have to wear sothing." Silas thought aloud and took out so clothes from his dinsional pouch. Since it wasn't made from his shadow, it was still there.
Taking out those clothes, he quickly wore them and got to making food.
His new clothes were nothing special. He wore a simple white shirt and black trousers.
Taking out a cutting board, Silas placed a few items on it and began to make food.
In the last six years, Silas might not have had a lot of free ti, but within a month, throughout those years, he chose to learn how to cook.
One hour a day, every day for a month. That's how long it took him to learn how to cook better than most people on the continent. However, that was probably because he had taken ti to learn such skills in his past life.
The difference was that, on Gilea, beasts had mana.
Eating mana-rich at was one of the many ways to cultivate. It was much faster than cultivating normally; however, not every cultivation technique could use the mana within the at to cultivate.
Almost all mages used a single cultivation technique throughout the kingdom at the start of their journey. It wasn't that cultivation techniques weren't very known in Egiladore. Almost all mages knew that there were more cultivation techniques; it was just that most of them were very safeguarded.
Unless you chose to enter a certain faction that might own of these techniques, you could say goodbye to getting one that wasn't handed out by the kingdom to all the mages within the kingdom.
However, while cultivation techniques were good, they weren't the only thing that went into absorbing the mana within the at of a beast. It took a good chef too.
Because cutting a beast's at normally would remove all the mana inside its at. Unless soone with a certain technique did cut the at for you, it wouldn't have any mana inside.
Of course, there were certain exceptions, but those were very rare and only ca from the much stronger beasts.I think you should take a look at
However, even if the person eating the at didn't have a cultivation technique to take full advantage of the mana within what they were consuming, it would still help them in ways the humans of Gilea didn't even know of.
Sure, it was less efficient this way, but with enough volu, even the weakest human on the planet could beco quite strong.
After all, there was a reason the beasts ate not only the cores, but also the bodies of the creatures they killed.
Looking down at the cutting board before him, Silas began to cut the at. It was the at of a wind wolf, so while it might not have as much of an effect on Alex as it might have had if the beast was a fire one, the wind was still pretty good for fire users, especially when compared to water or earth.
Silas looked down and concentrated on the at. Every cut he made released much of the mana within the at itself, so he had to control it and put it back in. That was the only way he knew how since he wasn't a Toki user.
Toki users were the only people capable of keeping the mana inside. They assud that Toki was just an energy that repelled mana; little did they know that they were using mana to control mana.
At the sa ti, every cut from Silas' knife destroyed any impurities within the at. He knew from personal experience that impurities weren't just sothing that was within the core. Still, he was also sothing within mana channels, and, even in so instances, within the body itself.
Since beasts strengthened their bodies and cores, this was the case with them.
Fewer impurities created tastier food, but at the sa ti, destroying the impurities made it easier for the mana to leave the at.
"Silas. Is the food ready?" Nymira asked while walking out of the training hall and visibly panting.
"Almost." Silas replied as sothing bubbled beside him.
It looked like a stove that one might have found on Earth, but it was powered by so mana crystals that shone with a red light.
These were clearly not mana cores from beasts but ones that one might find by mining.
These kinds of mana stones were usually hard to co by due to their scarcity in most areas. On the continent, you would either find the usual blue-ish white crystals made out of only mana, or you would find the brown ones made out of earth energies.
The fire ones were usually only found in deserts or volcanoes alongside earth crystals, while the dark blue ones were found in oceans.
On the other hand, wind crystals were actually one of the more common ones on the continent since they would be found anywhere a tal might have to deal with high oxidization rates.
The oxidization within the minerals would concentrate into a single area, creating a mana crystal made out of wind energies.
"Alright. I'm done." Silas said, making the two teens before him look at him with excited smiles.
