BXBX NOVEL Chapter 444 New Storms Approaching
"Astral energy is much different than mana. With mana, you need to use it and then take more mana in to expand your mana pools. This is a slow process and takes a long time. And then there is the condensing of mana and forming a core in order to evolve to become even stronger. Astral energy is different. It is something that will naturally absorb into your body and expand the amount you can use at a time over time. But to expand the amount of astral energy you can hold faster, you can use a bit of a trick.
"Like with mana, you can take in astral energy but in a different way, and that is with astral engraving." Nanaya waved her hand and created a few runic markings in the air. "These are the astral engravings you will need to have carved into your body at certain points. This is the only way to take in more astral energy that you naturally absorb to expand your pool quicker. While they will be something you will always have on you, they are greatly beneficial and should allow you to grow in strength quickly. Of course, you do not just take a knife and start carving yourself. It has to be done by someone else who has enough astral energy to engrave the runes onto your body.
"And this is where I come in." Nanaya smiled as she extended her hand with her index finger pointing out. The tip of her finger began to glow with a purple light. "I will engrave both of you with the runes that are needed for you to take in astral energy faster and grow in strength quicker. Of course, I will also tweak them a bit to speed up the process as well. But how much I can tweak them is based on your own body\'s durability. Astral energy can be a double edged sword. It can make you basically a step away from being a demi god while, at the same time, it can cause you to explode if you take in too much at once. The energy will accumulate in your body because your body cannot absorb it fast enough. Once your body reaches a certain threshold, you will then explode."
"You can begin at any time." Blake was ready to grow strong as quickly as possible. He had a feeling his future was not going to be easy. And if he wanted to protect the ones he loves, he would need to grow in strength.
"Thenn…" Nanaya began to blush as she lowered her head. "We should go into the other room…."
Blake tilted his head in confusion before looking at Lillia, who shrugged. Unsure of what exactly was to happen, Blake, Lillia, and Nanaya all left the main room and headed into one of the bedrooms.
Inside the room, Nanaya blushed as she closed the door behind her and locked it with a spell before turning to Lillia and Blake, saying: "Please strip…."
Blake did not hesitate to start taking his clothes off. He was the last person to be shy about things. Lillia was no different. Before long, the two were standing there in the buff, and Nanaya\'s eyes were locked on the thing swaying back and forth between Blake\'s legs with each movement he made.
"Blake, can you stop hypnotizing her with your dick?" Lillia teased as she gently elbowed Blake.
Blake chuckled and scratched his head. "Not like I am doing anything. But then again, the intense stare does make me want to tease her."
Blake began walking over to Nanaya, who was still staring at his dick, and stood before her. She was so entranced she did not even seem to realize it when he grabbed her hand and then moved onto his dick, fixing it so that she was now grasping it.
"Huh!? Ah! I… Umm…." Nanaya was at a loss for words when she realized what was going on. Lillia was behind Blake with her head turned, covering her mouth to try to hide her laughter. She found the red faced girl to be quite cute. What made it even more amusing was that even though she was flustered, she did not remove her hand from his dick at all.
"Lilia, what do you think? A little unfair that we are the only ones naked right now?" Blake asked.
Lillia giggled and walked over and behind Nanaya and reached around the girl\'s slim waist as she rested her chin on Nanaya\'s shoulder and nodded her head. "Mmm… I think naughty girls who do naughty things need to be punished."
"What!? What are you!?" Nanaya was shocked when she started feeling the two, husband and wife duo, begin stripping her jewels off and then her wraps. Before she knew it, she was completely naked, with everything bare to be seen in front of the two.
"We decided to give you a bit of thanks," Lillia whispered into Nanaya\'s ear. Her innocent reactions kind of flipped Lillia\'s switch as she nibbled Nanaya\'s earlobe lightly.
"Ah~! What…." Nanaya did not know what to do. Her whole body was trembling, but she also did not push the two away. She could feel her body growing hot as she started to become excited to know what was going to happen next.

"Hey, Mike, we got another sighting." Bret walked into Mike\'s office at the military barracks.
"Again? This is the second time in the past few days. Have the lights been set up around the base?" Mike asked.
"Yeah. In order to keep them from getting close to the walls, we have made sure all shadows are taken care of within one hundred feet. But this is only a temporary fix for now. The reglios do not seem to be trying to attack. It seems like they are more staking us out. It seems they have grown much smarter." Bret did not like the idea of the reglios getting stronger. They were already hard to deal with as it was. If they began getting smarter as well, this would make them an even more difficult enemy.
"There is nothing we can do about that. You have to remember we believe they were born from the pregnant human monster. If that is the case, then it would not be strange for them to grow smarter quicker. It\'s their strength and power we should be more worried about. What about the trail on that necromancer?" Mike asked.
"No clues yet. It seems he is staying low. But I am sure in the future he will try to target us again. Rin and Faana should be back soon. They went out to return the cat girl to her master."
