According to Coutia, she had given part of her power based on the contract, but this portion of power Krexia couldn’t use temporarily due to some irresistible factors, and it required Magic Power to suppress it, right?
If forced to use it, or if it prematurely unsealed because of Magic Power depletion, there would even be a life-threatening danger?
What Naruto Script nonsense is this?
“Then… what should I do? My head is killing me right now.”
Krexia slumped to the ground, baring her teeth and grimacing as she asked.
“The four idiots over there are still trapped in the Wind Prison. Although it’s Control magic, if it’s not released for a long time, who knows what unexpected problems might occur.”
After all, it’s Fifth-tier Control Magic; people trapped inside the Wind Prison are subjected to high-speed winds and can easily suffer from oxygen deprivation.
“Hm… it’s not that hard. Just eat some magical materials to directly replenish your Magic Power. For example, the Magic Crystals you got from killing monsters when testing your magic earlier are pretty good.”
Coutia answered straightforwardly, but Krexia didn’t seem very satisfied with this response.
“Are you sure?”
“No purification, no refinement, just eat it raw?”
“My body won’t explode?”
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Although she knew deep down that Coutia had no reason to lie about this kind of thing, she still instinctively resisted.
Eating Magic Crystals raw—this kind of behavior in this world was basically like holding a freshly caught pufferfish in the previous life and biting into it directly.
There was no doubt that the Magic Crystals taken from monsters contained a huge amount of Magic Power.
Because of their high concentration of Magic Power and their use as engraving materials and Magic Power sources for magical tools like Magic Wands, they were quite popular in Mage circles.
But eating them raw…
It was hard to imagine that even among the magical creatures of the Magic Union Nation, such behavior would be considered quite explosive.
“Suit yourself. I made this body; its quality is absolutely guaranteed. It’s just a Magic Crystal. Eating it won’t cause any problems; it’s a great supplement.”
Coutia took a thumb-sized Magic Crystal from her pocket, glowing faint green and irregularly spherical. Krexia silently swallowed her saliva.
At this moment, her fingertips had already started turning black. Black mist in the shape of smoke drifted down and settled on the ground.
The once vibrant green foliage around them rapidly withered at the moment it touched the mist, visibly dying before their eyes.
It was as if something was draining the life force.
“I don’t care anymore. At worst, I’ll die with this crazy woman!”
“Hey, who are you calling crazy woman?”
Ignoring Coutia’s retort, Krexia seemed to make a huge decision. She closed her eyes and threw the Magic Crystal into her mouth.
A Second-tier Magic Crystal could provide Magic Power far beyond what ordinary Second-tier magic required—roughly reaching the Magic Power level needed for average Third-tier magic.
However, even this amount of Magic Power, rushing into the body all at once in a short time, brought an impact far beyond what an ordinary human body could bear.
This was also why Krexia resisted eating raw Magic Crystals so much.
After all, she had been receiving Magic Study education since she was six years old. Some concepts were already deeply rooted and couldn’t be easily shaken in a short time.
“Ugh…”
The moment the Magic Crystal entered her mouth, she seemed to hear a voice urging her to bite open the crystal’s shell and fiercely absorb the enormous Magic Power contained inside.
It was like a bodily instinct. Her small tongue pressed the Magic Crystal back toward her molars. Feeling it in place, her upper and lower molars bit down hard.
“Crack~”
A crisp shattering sound transmitted through her teeth and bones all the way to her brain.
After the shell cracked, the highly concentrated Mana Essence inside flowed out like a filling.
Then it spread from the root of her tongue throughout her mouth, like being immersed in nature’s refreshing breeze.
The taste was like the mint-flavored crispy-filled candy she once ate, giving a strange, crisp sensation.
“How does it taste?”
“I’ve never swallowed a monster’s Magic Crystal before in my life,” Coutia said with a mischievous smile.
Krexia ignored her.
She casually chewed a few bites, crushed the remaining Magic Crystal shell in her mouth, and swallowed it along with the Mana Essence.
As it turned out, Coutia was right.
After eating one Magic Crystal, she didn’t feel the slightest discomfort; instead, the sensation of Magic Power filling her was immediate.
Even the faint hunger was replaced by a slight fullness, and the dizziness receded like the tide, leaving only the mild sensations expected during the body’s adjustment period.
“To be honest, it’s quite convenient. The taste of the Magic Crystal is surprisingly good.”
Having finished the Magic Crystal, Krexia’s condition improved significantly. She then got up from the ground and walked toward the still-maintained Cage of a Thousand Winds ahead.
Her figure slowly vanished inside the howling Wind Prison. Along with the wind’s roar came faint “pia~ pia~” sounds barely noticeable.
The Magic Power fluctuations of the entire Wind Prison gradually weakened.
***
“Phew…”
The Wind Prison dissipated, revealing four figures—two men and two women—each sprawled on the ground with faces that looked like they’d seen death.
The two sword users were fine; their physical constitution was strong enough that besides some facial swelling and messy hair, they were otherwise okay.
The Little Magician and Little Priest were a bit worse off.
Their bodies were originally weak, and in the massive wind field, the tremendous wind pressure almost suffocated them.
Their faces were pale as death, and their once tidy long hair was messier than a bird’s nest.
The four lay scattered on the ground in disarray, eyes glazed over, looking like they might die any moment.
Krexia sighed and walked over to Falco, crouching beside him and gently patting his face.
“Hey, buddy, wake up. No sleeping here.”
“!@￥%……&….”
Krexia patted harder, leaving a deeper handprint on Falco’s face.
“Wake up.”
“!@￥…Blood Clan…damn…￥%……&”
“? Still thinking about your lousy vampire?”
Raising her hand, two Magic Inscriptions representing [Energy Storage] and [Water Element Transformation] slowly condensed.
She then aimed her hand at them.
Open the floodgates. Release the water.
Splash!
The cool water stream was perfectly controlled by Krexia, sprayed evenly over everyone except herself. Each one was drenched from head to toe.
“!”
“Ah!”
“Why is there gurgling gurgling…”
“Who… gurgling gurgling… who turned on the water gurgling gurgling…”
Obviously, the refreshing cold water was extremely effective for these shallowly unconscious people.
