Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King



The thought that his mana was already almost too dense for most of the Witches to handle even before it advanced today gave Wolfe a great idea. 

The power feeding went both ways. They could gain aura by feeding off him, and part of getting to the Second Rank was condensing the aura to the point where it collapsed and reformed. 

So, if he fed mana to all of the witches bonded to him who hadn't reached the second rank yet, they would likely pass out, but their aura would improve by leaps and bounds.

As their aura improved, they would return power to him, which would help him form his fourth Mana Core.

This one was exponentially harder than the others, and Wolfe suspected that the problem was that he didn't have strong enough partners to actually make the best use of his ability to grow the way that he did at Rank Two and, to some extent, even Rank Three.

"You have a look on your face like you just got a very good idea that nobody else is going to like," Cassie whispered with a smirk.

If Wolfe was well enough to be thinking of dirty things, then he should be fine.

"I did. I think that I know the way to improve everyone's strength in a short period of time. Who all is here?" He asked.

"Everyone that is in the Pentacles, plus the two on duty." Ella shrugged.

"Oh, that should be perfect. As long as the trolls are here, they can look over things for us while I try this experiment." 

Cassie frowned. "That really doesn't put my mind at ease. But tell me what you have in mind, and I will decide if it's acceptable."

"Of course, I wouldn't do it without warning you. But understand, I'm going to do it either way. What I have in mind is similar to the very first days that we were together. I want to flood everyone here with more mana and more mana density than their bodies are used to in order to kick-start their growth and get them back on track to becoming Rank Three witches.

There is a level of backfeeding from the Witches that I'm linked to through the Pentacles. The stronger you all are, the faster I grow. Well, the faster we all grow since the Pentacle is trying to balance our power levels.

So, if I help it along, it will pull you all up toward my level, which will make it easier for me to grow and possibly break me out of this slump I've been in trying to finish my fourth Mana Core."

All of the nearby witches gave him a suspicious look. 

"So, you want to push our mana flow to its limits, with incredible density, in an attempt to shock our aura into changing for the stronger? Have you thought about what that might do?" Mollie asked.

"I have considered it." Wolfe nodded.

"And? What preparations will you make?" She continued.

"I will be individually monitoring all of you during the process, but unfortunately, we don't have a video camera, so I will be the only one who will be able to see the look on everyone's face."

Cassie threw a stick at him, and Ella began to laugh.

"That solves it. His mind is just as bad as it was before. The influx of very chaste and proper Magi memories didn't change him at all."

Wolfe looked around the room at the anxious witches. 

"I promise that it won't hurt. If it starts getting out of control, I will stop, and we can start over. Don't you trust me?" 

Ella stuck out her tongue at him. "I don't think that trust is the issue here, and your puppy dog eyes won't work. Ember has granted us virtual immunity with her constant begging."

Wolfe waited and kept up the pleading look, knowing that she would soon crack. The pleading look worked every time, and he could see that with the Servant Bond, some of the other Witches were already beginning to embrace the situation and take seats around the cabin.

"Alright, fine. But I'm warning you, if you're messing around, you will pay for it." Cassie relented.

"Understood. Everyone, please do your best to remain conscious so that we don't have to end the experiment. Building your aura like this is going to take a conscious effort on your part, I'm pretty sure."

Cassie and Ella took spots next to Wolfe on the lone patient bed in the infirmary room of the small shack while Stephanie climbed in Wolfe's lap.

[Where is Sophie?] He asked the Familiar Cat curiously.

[I dropped her off at school to come here. She will be fine for the rest of the day, I think. If not, we've been practicing talking to each other, so she should be able to reach me. She did earlier to ask about the spells that they were using.]

Wolfe focused on the links he held to every witch in the room, including the two who were here on duty, as they had a Servant Bond with him. Those would require some delicacy, as they were still on the lower half of the First Rank, while the others here were all Rank Two.

Then, he worked to keep his mana compressed and realized that he had missed a step.

"Can I get everyone to hold hands? Direct physical contact to create a circuit is going to make this much easier." He informed the room without opening his eyes.

First, Ella and Cassie and then the others became much clearer in his mind as they linked hands or simply placed a hand on the bare skin of a nearby witch, and then Wolfe was ready to work.

He carefully began to move the condensed mana through to Cassie and Ella, who gasped as even a faint trace of it began to move through their system.

Wolfe extended [Detect Hidden] to better view their mana system and smiled at the scene in front of him. The barriers that formed the walls of their mana veins were changing from contact with the high-density mana and becoming much more flexible, as well as moving mana more easily to the Aura.

It was everything that he had hoped for and more.
