My Beginning After the End Four Armies

Saviors Pt. IX

Virion Leywin

Two Months Until Victoriad

"Are you even trying right now?" Hades asked from within me. "We've been stuck here for around a month now, and you have been doing the same shit forever." I rolled my eyes, stopping myself from doing what I was trying to do.

"Hades, you know what I'm trying to do, you can read my mind." I told him with a sarcastic tone. "If I can simply touch my phoenix charm with mana, it'll get us out of here, but I have to find a way to control mana in a mana less cave."

"And I am telling you that we should just stop." I was going to respond, but he continued to speak, not giving me the chance. "If it was possible, we would already be out of here by now."

"Hahahaha." I laughed a little at his words, knowing that my sanity was slipping away from me, but on the other hand, it pretty much already has, I've been crazy for a while now.

"You are losing it again." Hades told me, and I took a deep breath, trying to stop myself. "We've been over this, you have to touch mana to the bracelet, then push the mana into it, which is impossible."

"I know." I said. "Every time I use mana externally, the sealing spell they used sucks it up." I couldn't push aether into it because that's not how the bracelet works. "I know creating my own mana didn't work, so connecting with my Beast Will, and adapting to it even more was my best chance."

"It may be your best shot if we aren't thinking out of the box." Hades thought to me, and I simply just sat there in the dirt like I have been doing, waiting for him to go on. "We honestly should have thought about this earlier, but what if I'm the key to get out of here."

"Hades, if you leave my body, you will legit be sucked up by the spell as well, let's not forget you are made of mana and blood." I told him, and I could feel his annoyance, but I was right. "But I am open to suggestions, I can't stand being in this fucking pit."

"Pour blood onto the bracelet." It was like a lightbulb lit up in my head. "There is mana in your blood, pure mana in it, you've been trying to create mana outside of your body with your Beast Will aiding you, what if instead we create a new type of mana with your blood." He paused for a second, then went on. "And instead of your Beast Will only aiding you, I'll help as well."

"That wouldn't help though." I said. "If we create mana inside of my body, how are we going to get it to the bracelet? It still wouldn't work, good idea, but still pointless." I stood up, pacing in the small pit I was in, looking up at the purple cells controlling my mana.

"No." Hades said, I thought his idea was good, but it wouldn't get us out of here, but I'll let him speak, there's no point in me not. "If we create a new mana type art, like your blood magic already, maybe, and just maybe, we'll be able to push the blood into the bracelet, allowing us to flee this place."

I stopped and thought about it, the chances of it working are low, and creating a new mana type would be very hard. "A new type of mana, so not decay, no creation, and not normal like us Dicathen's use, but a blood based mana type art."

"Yes." Hades said, and I felt him start to move throughout my body. "We could use your blood, aether, and mana that is inside of you, and create some sort of a type of mana that can exist in this pit."

"I mean, it's worth a try." I nodded to myself, thinking about ways to go about this. "If this is possible, that would be instead of absorbing mana into my body to replenish myself, I could theoretically absorb people's blood to replenish myself."

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well." I could feel him nodding inside of me, then he said. "Honestly, we are both thinking the same think, it would be like a Vampire type mana art, don't really know what to call it, and again, I don't really know if it's possible, but if it is, it could make things a little easier in big battles."
