chapter 1226: chapter 1225: inking paper, inking skin
we had come to an agreement that we needed some more time to prepare and make sure that we were heading into the labyrinthian with everything that we could possibly need and in the right state of mind, so i took this time to continue exploring something i rarely got to do.
putting ink on skin and empowering myself via badass tattoos that were brimming with magical power and extreme potential, especially if i managed to get them done perfectly, which was why i spent so damn long copying them over and over again in some new notebooks.
making sure that each rune was as optimized and powerful as it needed to be while also keeping the entire sequence in perfect working order that was not only powerful but also efficient with my mana and with my core was taxing on my mind, but definitely in a good way. even more so since a few more manuals were secured into my mind's library as i purchased a half dozen books on enchanting, tattooing, mana efficiency and general spell work from various ages, allowing myself to draw inspiration from all sorts of spells before beginning my work in perfecting them as much as i possibly could.
leone sat down with me and helped me as best she could, and in some cases she did more work than i did as we both looked at these spells from different sides; my passion and love for magic making them grandeur and sometimes overly fine tuned to the point of being downgraded in terms of strength while leone was far more logical and focused with her work. both of us would look over the same spell multiple times before we finalized it for the potential drafts, copying it down into a more expensive book for proper storage and just to showcase what was on our bodies without needing to show off our bodies since some of these were going to be in more intimate areas.
leone already had one securely hidden between her breasts, resting right on her sternum and imprinted deep into her skin, while i had another that crowned the most intimate point of my body, so we were very familiar with being reluctant to show off the ink we already had.
the pain was there for us both, with jahi enduring the sharp scratch of the nib alongside the burning sensation of her own harsh light mana searing itself into her for good while i had to manhandle this radiant, dominant mana without losing control, all while i also felt a modicum of the pain she felt thanks to the bond we shared.
it took two hours just for this one enchantment to be engraved onto her back, and by the end of it both of us were drenched in sweat and exhausted, but jahi had to try it out instantly, the demoness standing up and pushing her mana into the new ritual circle on her left shoulder and looking into the mirror in amazement as an arm sprouted out of her back.
she could move it with some concentration, and this was something that would take some getting used to in order to confidently use it during a fight, but just having it there now was more than enough, especially since she was able to grab and lift things with it already.
even if they got singed as the light mana proved to be just as harsh as always, though that just meant getting punched by this arm would hurt like hell, so that was certainly a plus.
since i also wanted some more ink of my own - but i was a bit too drained to sit through one of the more detailed and powerful tattoos that i wanted - i had leone take the magic pen from me and tattoo both of my ankles - inside and out - for a total of four tattoos that were all identical.
a little spell that took the shape of a wing made of wind mana that would boost my speed even more, with the inspiration being rather clear even to my lovers, who apparently had heard of a similar story in this world as well.
