All Novel Full Chapter 250 - A Day Off
-----
I concentrated most of my mind into my divine realm for most of the part tonight, as I spent time with my family happily. It was such a bliss to have this haven inside of my soul where I can just spend nice time with them without bothering about anything else…
I had left Cuco outside though, I wasn't so sure that things would be fine and even Xijun might be ambushed at night. I didn't cared much about my own safety as my body would easily survive any blow, but I was worried about Xijun, so I left Cuco with her.
Cuco had taken a liking on Xijun almost instantly and was always licking her face the moment the two meet. As of now that big black cat was sleeping in her bed while purring, she seemed to like his warm and black fur, and slept leisurely on the embrace of his soft belly.
Just thinking about Cuco and how he grew up into such a strong and powerful beast makes me all nostalgic, especially because even as he is now, he's still an adorable black cat that purrs when being petted and that enjoys sleeping for hours.
I had decided to leave him as a temporal guardian of Xijun, as he's also to meld into the shadows, he can easily hide from anything and even if he wants to look normal, he can reduce his size and resemble just a normal black cat for the most part, it's very useful!
Anyways, yesterday the girls had showcased some new powers, my two little princesses had showed up they had some knack for magic, conventional and natural magic with spells and all of that, not just skills.
Fran, the little half-fairy girl, had showed something else, as her wings glowed with bright black and purple light, from her mouth she unlashed a powerful attack, a bullet of shadow energy that was fired into the wall, breaking it apart easily, it also made our house, which was Gwendolyn, groan angrily a little bit before it regenerated the "wound". I had to apologize to her.
Valentina also showed magic in response to her sister, as if the two were competing or had forged a slight rivalry between sisters… the half-squirrel girl unleashed a wave of shadows in the shape of tentacles, which she threw everywhere.
These shadows entangled the chairs and the table around, lifting everything up… but then she lost control and they all fell. Well, I stopped them using Telekinesis, but that was also very dangerous.
I cannot let these two babies go around using magic frantically, especially because they might end up damaging each other like that, so I have to be careful and to not let them do anything stupid.
I had considered sealing the usage of mana completely from them, but that would be way too extreme, I just want them to grow into strong girls that can fend off by themselves, so teaching them magic from an early age would be a good thing.
The usage of Mana without the assistance of the System Skills is what I would call conventional magic. Xijun is able to conjure it and so everyone in this world of cultivation we arrived, which mixes it with western magic quite well. No, there are no mana cores here, but people do cultivate mana and other energies around their bodies, it is a very natural and also basic cultivation methods, but it works well, and it has let Xijun be amazing at her water magic.
Since I had started my journey that I relied in the Skills and Abilities of my System to fight, and I still do, to be honest, but now I've realized that I have so much Mana I can replicate things that Skills do without having to use skills.
Due to that, I discovered conventional magic. Which is pretty much shaping mana to your will through words, be it mental or physically speaking to them through chants. Chants build up runes which build up magic circles, all of them working together to make a spell, which is overly complicated.
But those capable of using magic without chanting such as me, are kind of special. By just visualizing the phenomena in our minds, we can use our magic to bring it forth. I seem to also have an affinity to all elements, so I began to discover I could use magic of all elements, even elements I had not been able to properly wield previously through skills and so on.
There wasn't anywhere where I could research spell casting, so I had just discovered how to make spells and so on by myself, making healing spells using nature and life magic, or making powerful land-changing spells using earth magic, and like that… it has been pretty fun to try out and find new spells to learn, although I feel like I've been ignoring my Skills lately, but its not like they can grow stronger or something they just remain like that. I had considered fusing them, though, which I might do in the future.
"Dada…"
Valentina suddenly pointed at what she did with her little index finger, there was a large pool of shadows in front of her with many tentacles and a small eye on it. this thing was very much alive, in a sense.
This was… Valentina's first ever summoned entity, I called it Shadow for short, and it was a creature that was pretty much a living shadow, nothing too complicated.
"Bbbrbbgbggb…"
The shadow released a strange and bizarre sound as it approached my beautiful little daughter, I felt a bit of fear of letting that thing touch my beloved daughter, but before I could do something, Anna crushed it with her leg.
CLASH!
"Gryyeggh…"
"I don't like this thing a tall! I couldn't let it approach our daughter." She sighed.
"I agree…" I sighed.
"Pap!"
And then Fran pointed out at what she was going to do, opening her mouth again, she blasted the sky with a massive beam…
BOOOOOMMM!!!
