Chapter 1320 - Second Awakening (Part 2)

"Let’s just say that I have a bad feeling about him." Vastor clenched his fist hard, where a small card that said Future was.

He had found it under Zinya’s door, addressed to the entire Yehval household.

Quylla’s room.

"Before we start, I want you to know that I’m against you practicing first magic. If you develop a mana flow, you’ll die." Lith said.

"I thank you for your concern but it’s none of your business. Since I cannot Awaken, I must find my own way to overcome the limits of fake magic and be able to hold my ground. Any less would be a failure I can’t live with." Quylla replied.

Lith sighed and told her all about his issue with the vortexes, about the pain he experienced every time he practiced magic above tier zero with his body, and about how the progress he made by training disappeared soon after he stopped.

"It’s indeed similar to my own problem with true magic." Quylla nodded. "But I’ve got no access to Invigoration nor can I check on the status of your vortexes. I can’t offer you much insight."

"You’re wrong." Lith shook his head. "You are stepping into a realm no one else has ever been whereas I’m just reinventing a wheel that countless Awakened bloodlines have discovered ages ago.

"On top of that, I think our issue is nearly identical. We both need to train a mana organ inside our body to make it capable of casting runes. The only difference is that you are dealing with a non-Awakened core and I with a mass of dispersed energy."

"It’s much more than that." Quylla replied. "My problem lies in the fact that my body is too weak to hold powerful magic whereas based on what Faluel said, you could achieve the violet core anytime.

"Your body is strong and your mana flow is off the charts. You have all the ingredients at hand, you just need to mix them properly."

"If it was that easy, Awakened wouldn’t be stuck at bright blue for centuries if not forever." Lith said.

"Okay. Tell me this hand-core analogy you came up with again and show me the changes in your body when you train the vortexes." Quylla said as he projected a hologram of his mana flow down to the smallest detail, comparing it with her own.

"This is interesting and it might even hold the key to the white core." She said after looking at Lith’s hologram evolving and devolving several times.

"What do you mean?" Solus joined the conversation after making sure there was no surveillance device and locking the door.

"As you can see from my hologram, my deep violet core spreads its energy outwards, creating my aura. The violet in your aura, instead, originates from the vortexes and spreads inwards." Quylla said.

"That’s hardly a novelty." Solus sighed. "We knew from the beginning that, unlike for fake mages, core refining stops at bright blue."

"Sure, but maybe you’ve been considering the problem from the wrong angle the entire time. What if there’s only so much mana an Awakened body with a single core can hold?" Quylla said.

"What if the fake mages’ violet core is actually a wrong turn, something that isn’t supposed to happen? It would explain why even someone with bottomless mana like Manohar didn’t get a white core and why people like me can’t Awaken."

"Let me get this straight. Your idea is that your violet core is overloaded with mana and that you would have already died if not for the impurities. By following this reasoning, I can’t directly refine mine because I don’t have impurities anymore and even if I did, it would cripple my progression." Lith pondered.

"I have a couple of explanations for that. One is that once the auxiliary cores are perfectly formed, they channel their mana into the main core. They would act barely as amplifiers and their light would be hidden like it happens with the stars when the sun is up. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
