PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

136 Chapter 136 Mana purification

Claire upon hearing the declaration of the fairy and seeing that it had a mischievous smile as if all her previous solemn attitude had been just a sham and she had not finished connecting spiritually with the essence of the world itself; Claire couldn’t believe or understand what had happened just now.

′′ What are you doing standing there with your mouth open? Were you too surprised by how beautiful and glamorous the great Kyuru is? You can see me all you want, but I can only be Desmond’s fairy, in any case, what are you waiting for? Come here before the mana cocoon completely fades away. ′′

Seeing the fairy treat her like an idiot and then arrogantly and childishly brag about her accomplishments, Claire could at least be sure that it was Kyuru herself who was speaking to her, as to why she was originally unsure. ? Well, the fairy’s appearance had changed slightly, his height had gone from 30 centimeters to 45 centimeters and although she had retained most of the features of her divinely proportioned physique; Kyuru’s wings now had a different pattern where prismatic figures and runic-like details now dominated where various shades of blue and green were combined.

In any case, having confirmed that the fairy was indeed still Kyuru, Claire decided to obediently walk in the direction of the fairy until she was between the fairy and the cocoon of light the latter had pointed out.

′′ You’re in luck, I originally planned to carry out this ritual shortly after coming to this world, after all without a world to belong to I felt uncomfortable; but having heard about your awakening ceremony and Desmond’s concerns, I decided to wait until now to give you a little help.

Come stand in front of the cocoon of light, it is made up of a large amount of energy belonging to all the elements in this world, although I have absorbed most of it as part of the ritual; there is still enough left to perform a mana purification.

I will use the natural energies of this world to purify your body and increase your affinity with all the energies under heaven, you are lucky this normally should not be something that I can do with my current strength but due to my ritual I now have the energy to the hand to carry it out; I don’t really understand the awakening call of your world very well, but from the little that Desmond has told me, it serves as a form of empowerment where you are given the ability to manipulate or control a type of energy in the world.

If things are like this, what I am about to do should greatly increase your chances of awakening an ability to the degree that it will be practically impossible for you not to awaken one; in the same way, due to increased affinity your ability should be greatly strengthened.

Well now that you are aware of everything there is to know, it is time to start. ′′

.....

Followed by the fairy’s explanation, Kyuru proceeded to use the remnants of the elemental energy from her ritual to subject Claire to a process incredibly similar to the one she herself had just undergone; The night passed while Claire was enclosed within a semi-translucent cocoon of energy, throughout the night Kyuru continued to pour her own mana into the cocoon to maintain the process. . . And so the dawn came.

(Claire POV)

Warmth . . warmth and satisfaction, were the emotions that filled my mind while my vision was covered in white, I could feel something entering my body through every pore of my skin, filling my flesh, my blood, and my being with its essence; soon my consciousness began to fade and keeping track of time became difficult.

When I opened my eyes again, the new and improved Kyuru greeted me in front of me, who had a face full of fatigue and exhaustion, seeing her like this I realized that what she had done for me had cost her an enormous amount of effort to the little fairy so I decided to pamper her as much as she wanted for a few days as a thank you.

I looked around and for a moment I felt out of place as if everything around me was different from how I remember it, but it was not; clearly everything was still the same. . . If I had to describe the sensation, it would be as if everything were more vivid, more real; more. . . pure.

My body felt full of energy and my mind was clearer than ever, it was really an intoxicating feeling and I could understand if someone got addicted to this; I wonder if that’s how Desmond felt he stepped into what he called one-star class?

Desmond. . . I miss you, I wonder if being touched by you right now would feel even better than before because of how I perceive the world now? How I wish I could feel the warmth of your hands running over my skin and your lips pressed tightly against mine as we lose each other in our own world.

As I was absentmindedly lost in my own fantasies, I suddenly heard the sweet voice of a fairy saying words that were not really sweet: ′′Perverted′′

Looking at the fairy for a moment and observing how Kyuru had a tint of red on her cheeks; I suddenly remembered that Desmond had mentioned once that the little fairy was extremely sensitive to the emotions and thoughts of sentient beings.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Not being fully aware of what that meant I didn’t pay much attention, but as I looked at the blushing fairy looking at me like I was a pervert, I realized that the fairy could at least feel the lust and passion that had filled my mind a few moments ago; which fills me with shame.

′′ You will not be late. . . again if you don’t hurry?′′ Kyuru’s voice echoed once more in my ears, snapping me out of my stupor and pointing out a terrifying fact.

Looking around me this time more carefully I realized something that I should have noticed from the moment I woke up; it was no longer night. . . What’s more, the sun seemed to have risen a couple of hours ago; I could only thank the gods that the awakening ceremony had not been scheduled too early so I still had time.

′′ No, I still have time, but I should still hurry; Kyuru. . . Thank you very much for everything, I promise that I will reward you as much as I can, once again thanks for all the effort. ′′ I couldn’t help but thank the little butterfly winged maiden for what she had done as I felt that her efforts were enormous and her intentions had been genuine in helping me.

′′ Hum Hum, at last, you recognize the greatness of the honorable fairy Kyuru, you had already been late, but considering that you are the wife of my guardian I will be generous with you and let it pass; just be sure to praise me in the future. . . and bring me some pancakes with a loth of honey later.′′

Smiling bitterly at Kyuru’s arrogant ravings, I proceeded to prepare for my awakening ceremony; though considering everything that had happened I shouldn’t be worried about it.

′′I just hope everything goes well. ′′
