1 year after this eting that occurred exactly on the day that Kayden fell into the abyss, the land was invaded by surprise by a race similar to Orcs from dieval adventure gas.
This race was extrely brutal, with mass massacres without the slightest sha. Several kingdoms were attacked at the sa ti, and whenever the kings intervened, an orc on the sa level appeared. Slowly this beca a real war, and the first human alliance was founded. Chaos prevailed on all weak sides.
Those with a certain power and protection wouldn’t care in the slightest about a few villages being decimated, and that was indeed what happened, at least until one of the survivors reported what was happening.
"Gang rapes, won are put to be used until they die or one of them gets tired, then they are thrown into cages and left until soone wants to use them again. Furthermore, many orcs are bisexual and have relationships with other n without the slightest modesty." This beca even more shocking when videos appeared on the internet.
For the first ti in human history, she truly ca together completely and without fear to deal with a common threat. Unfortunately for them, this was sothing that would last for many years, and the proportion of the war only increased.
*********
anwhile, Kayden had no idea of the ss that was happening above him and continued cultivating peacefully. About 1 year after he advanced, he saw a third realm beast advancing above the third level and finally understood why this was the limiting level.
The moths that were flying in the sky descended in ridiculous numbers. Kayden buried himself several hundred ters underground and observed the situation with his spiritual sense. The beast was completely consud. She might have killed a few hundred thousand or even millions, but an endless number appeared around her.
At that mont, Kayden understood that it was referring to the amount and density of mana that the living being carried, as not even a strand of grass was consud by the moths, only the beast was decimated.
This strongly marked Kayden, who believed in the superiority of kingdoms. In a way, he was right, but even that superiority could be broken with the right numbers, in this case, tens of millions of moths in the first realm.
He did so tests by throwing living beings in the first and second kingdoms into the air and... they were also consud by the moths, but this ti it was because the mana source was full of crystals and was worth consuming. If he threw them a few hundred ters below, they wouldn’t even move.
After a few months of studying them for short periods, he saw them consuming beings of their species that had advanced to the second realm. In a way, they were the perfect guardians, as they would never rebel, as they didn’t know they were in a prison, and those who tried to get out were killed by their nature.
Ti continued to pass as Kayden divided his day into different points. When he fell into the abyss, he began to read the books of basic knowledge that he had received from the old man who accompanied him on the wall. Many of their doubts were resolved, and it was a very difficult process.
He didn’t have any teachers, so he needed to read the sa book many tis just to get back to basic and simple knowledge, but all this effort was worth it when he started to be able to do sothing completely new.
Weaving his elental spells seed silly, but on his own, he was able to change the color of the fire just by adding certain elents to his spell. This was sothing basic, but its significance was very great, as it provided the basis for him to raise his spells to unique levels.
More ti passed and just a few months after Kayden reached the sixth rank, he encountered sothing utterly bizarre. In front of him was a lake with a thick, light gray liquid. He looked like liquid tal floating.
"This is incredible," Kayden began to analyze the material in detail, and after so tests, he discovered sothing completely surreal: the liquid, when it was in the presence of mana, beca completely hard.
If Kayden overloaded the surface with enough mana, the entire lake would beco solid, and not even an attack at his maximum strength would be able to change its shape. But as soon as he withdrew the mana, the lake beca liquid and easily manipulated.
It also seed to have a strange density, as Kayden easily gathered a few thousand liters into just a small round ball in his hands that barely weighed a kilo. But as soon as he added pure mana around the ball, it easily fell to the ground with enough weight to sink several ters into the ground.
That wasn’t even the most impressive thing, but rather the mana isolation the liquid had. Kayden only found him because he appeared as a black dot in his spiritual sense. Any man that tried to pass through it caused it to harden and impede its passage.
Kayden instantly thought of a use for it and began testing his theory. He made a tal square with two layers and poured the liquid between the two layers. As soon as he poured mana into the liquid, it closed completely and prevented mana from entering or leaving the cube.
The amount of mana he had to use was minimal and provided a 100% mana impenetrable barrier. Normally, mana had no physical form and was capable of passing through any structure. Therefore, high mana-density rooms used runes to do what the liquid was doing.
Over the next few days, Kayden created a tal room a few ters long and wide capable of supporting the liquid in the middle of two layers. This was quick and easy to do. What was impressive was the process of mana entering the layers through a system of internal and external pressure.
When Kayden closed all mana from entering and leaving, the box was in its balanced state. But as soon as the mana inside was consud, it was opened, as what kept the liquid in a solid state was the mana inside the box.
This was a great achievent provided by the basic knowledge books he had. This box could be destroyed and the liquid stored in a small container and stored in his space ring.
After so testing, Kayden managed to maintain the mana density at almost 30 tis the amount outside. He just needed to wait a long ti while he stored all the mana he got with his spiritual sense and then he had to wait for the environnt to return to its normal state.
Ti passed again and a few months later Kayden made another discovery. His mana manipulation had grown during these years of testing and training. He was able to do sothing previously impossible: manipulate the mana in other beings’ bodies.
And this proved to be the most ridiculous torture thod he could apply. His tests were done on so beasts, and at first, they didn’t feel anything. But as soon as he started to take the mana from their bodies, they went into absolute despair and scread and cried in pain.
The degree of torture was so ridiculous that so mindless apprentice or mage beasts killed themselves by absorbing mana as soon as they were free from the torture. It was too much trauma for them to deal with alone. Even though Kayden wasn’t a good person, he didn’t experint on animals all the ti. It was just a few days of testing and experinting with everything he was capable of doing. On second-level animals, it only worked if he concentrated and weakened them first. At lower levels, he simply needed to think, and he could still do so on the move.
It was not limited to just living beings. He could sense the mana of treasures and inanimate materials and easily destroy them by taking away their base mana. The higher your target’s level, the harder it was to do so.
Ti passed and Kayden was already over 30 years old. His knowledge of spells and techniques increased ridiculously during this period. His only annoyance was the lack of opponents to face. But this would soon be resolved by moving to the seventh rank and trying to face beasts from the third realm.
It was a risky bet, but he was convinced he could accomplish this feat. And if he couldn’t, he would just run for his life and move to the moths in the sky. As his amount of mana was less and he had skills to hide his presence, nothing would happen to him, at least that was what he hoped.
A few months later, it finally turned 14 years and a few months since Kayden was in the abyss, and he was finally ready to move up to the seventh rank and try to get seven mana folds.
