Chapter 1619 - Life And Death (Part 1)

"The blueprint is for a prototype and I used so many pseudo cores on purpose." Lith replied. "I want to find out as many problems as I can at the same time so that I can later focus on solving them one by one.

"On top of that, if the Yggdrasill wood's mana capacity is anything like the purified Davross, then it can hold many more pseudo cores than you think. I'm not just testing my limits but those of the Yggdrasill as well."

Lith called Tista from her training with the Phoenixes before starting the experiment. His sister had already discussed the procedure thoroughly with him and Solus and was eager to learn from them. Also by giving Tista and Friya one Monocle each, he would be able to analyse and record the procedure without putting any burden on Solus.

With a wave of Lith's hand, the Yggdrasill branch left the Armory and appeared on the Adamant Forge in front of him. All those inside the tower felt a small pang in their heads as the clarity of thought they had enjoyed until a second ago disappeared. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

While Lith and Solus waited for their brains to adjust, they used Abyssal Gaze on the branch one last time. They wanted to make sure that no impurity was left before starting to work on their masterpiece.

Unlike magical metals, there was no need for Origin Flames to purify the wood. The World Tree was a violet cored Awakened so everything from the wood texture to the disposition of the fibers was perfect, offering almost no resistance to mana.

Yet being a part of a living being capable of surviving away from its main body, the branch retained small sacks of the Yggdrasill's life force and willpower even after Aalejah had severed the link between the Tree and its branch.

If not removed, the sacks would resist the enchanting process and tamper with the imbued spells whenever the power core would be activated.

Lith and Solus had noticed the residual sacks only after a thorough study of the branch with the tower's Greenhouse, where they had planted it in the hope to grow their own World Tree or at least a few more branches.

Purifying the Yggdrasill staff had required to use darkness magic with surgical precision and remove the energy signature left from the previous owner of the wood in order to become its only true master.

'Between this and the Balor's Eyes, I'm almost certain that either Necromancy is a branch of Forgemastery or it's the other way around.' Lith thought.

'It would explain why Baba Yaga is one of the two people who can use Creation Magic, the highest form of Forgemastery, and is also the Mother of all Undead.' Solus pondered. 'Anyway, if not for the Greenhouse, we would have never noticed the sacks.'

'Indeed.' Lith nodded. 'It allowed me to find a flaw in my breathing technique's detection capabilities and to not only fix it, but even to improve my Abyssal Gaze. I finally got my first breathing skill!'

'Show off!' Solus snarled with a bit of envy.

She was still using Lith's technique, but not being a Demon, she had no way to use Abyssal Gaze's to its full potential.

'I need to create a breathing technique of my own.' She grumbled.

Lith used Spirit Magic to place the staff on the Adamant Forge and started what he considered the most crucial step to crafting a Sage Staff, the preparatory phase. Bonding crystals and injecting sets of runes was something he had done a lot of times in the past.
