Chaotic Craftsman Worships The Cube Chapter 596

Hey hey, how was the day? Thera greeted him brightly when he returned, seeming to be positively vibrating with excitent on her own part.

From the looks of it, nowhere near as good as yours. Whats the good news?

I made so progress on the little project Uliel and Vasta gave .

With her having gone to sleep early the other day and Ben having left early that morning, shed never gotten the chance to tell him about the progress shed made for her magic, nor the discoveries that had led to.

She could equip spells to passively cast with her soul, with all of the potential of such a thing to follow. Not just the charm and fear shed tried at first, when it ca to her dark magic she could also cast debuffs and other options in the sa way.

Of course, that wasnt going to be the most helpful thing out during the next wave. The issue with passive magics was that they spread out uncontrollably after all, aning shed be affecting friend and foe alike, but it did lead to a few other discoveries to go with it.

She could operate beyond just the dark affinity, binding general healing spells to herself that shed be able to make use of in any clinic setting, both letting those who happened to be around her passively heal their smaller injuries while at the sa ti making it easier for the other healers around to do more while spending less mana, with other applications from there.

While casting buffs that way would have the sa problem as dark effects and the uses of earth and non-affinity both seed a lot more limited, at least under the scope of what she could find out in the span of two days of practice, there was sothing else shed use her mana for that shed found imdiate success with. Mana empowering.

Oh sweet, so you can let them just take your ambient mana now without needing to consciously think about it?

Yeah, after I figured it out I spread the word that Ill be equipping it while Im asleep so we might end up slightly more sward than usual, but the benefits for the spirits are going to be huge!

Her excitent was palpable and Ben didnt bla her. Shed just figured sothing huge out for herself, and from the sounds of it, her paternal race as a whole. If the spirits werent going to need to wait for her to transfer over her mana but could now take advantage of her effects by simply being around her then their numbers were sure to explode even more than they already had been doing which was going to be a healthy plus for the planet on top of everything else.

And they already love her, I wonder if Theras sheer presence is getting to the point for them that they wont just imdiately turn tail and leave if things get too rough here for us? At the very least, it might an they stay longer than they otherwise would to help.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

But anyway, whats going on with you? She asked him. Once her own excitent was out of the way, it was a lot easier to notice that sothing seed to be on his many minds, that while not obviously negative, was enough to weigh on him in a way that lightly touched his expression.

Ah, its this whole thing. The gods are worried about my weird blessing and after looking into it a bit, so am I if Im being honest.

Okay, anything thats enough to worry you worries . Whats happening?

It looks like witness of chaos is having so sort of effect on my mind.

Thera sat in silence for a mont, waiting for more and only speaking up when it seed like that was the end of it.

So the problem is?

That Im afraid Im going to go insane?

What, is that all?

Is that not enough?

Your mind does change pretty frequently, Ben.

Yeah, but not like this. Im being serious, Thera. Witness of chaos, whatever it does I still feel the things Ive seen clawing at my mind. I literally just discovered that I can suddenly interpret a pretty huge swath of the summoning spell for no reason other than its the part for traveling between universes. I have no clue what else this is doing to either.

Even though he wasnt trying to show it, there was worry in his voice. Hed at least understood every other change his mind had gone through to one extent or another, but not that one. It was a mystery to him even after plunging the depths of the system on it and that made it more worrying than anything else.

Seeing that, Thera placed a gentle hand on his cheek, trying to calm him down.

Ben, since Ive known you the way youve thoughts only beco weirder and weirder, you know that? Your mind has changed and split and been torn to shreds multiple tis, and thats not even ntioning the level of control you have over the way you think. Who else on the planet can deconstruct their consciousness and have it rge into other peoples or any of the other crazy things you do?

Thera-

Ben, despite all of that, despite every ridiculous change thats gone through your head, in the end its always still you, She told him. It doesnt matter if you think with your brain or your soul, with one mind or thousands, youre still the sa man I've known for years. Whatevers going on, youll get through it and Ill be here for you the entire ti, so if its a problem, dont stress on it. Youll figure it out.

When she put it like that, it was reassuring. She was right. Sure, hed undergone changes to the way hed think, but theyd never changed who he was, not really, and with the state of his mind, he could keep examining himself to make sure that was still the case. Even reflecting on his thoughts and actions from before and after hed gained the new blessing, no change seed as though it hadnt co from within himself or been an appropriate product of his environnt. He had the ntal facilities to examine himself for changes and from there decide what they ant for him, for good or ill.

You know, I think the gods could learn a thing or two from you about reassuring people, He told her with a smile, feeling a little less worried that he had been coming back from the library.

What can I say, Im wonderful, She smiled back, leaning into him. You can show how much you appreciate what a light I am in your life if youd like.

Happy to show her all the appreciation she wanted for easing her thoughts in the bit of privacy they had, Ben kissed her, more than pleased to go on and enjoy the night.
