The rest of the party went surprisingly smoothly. There were no accidents, no monster suddenly popping up to kill us all, no thousand-year-old curse only now popping up to ruin everything, nothing at all. It looks like my life is not only bad luck after all. After the party ended, I placed Mary on the bed and left Zephyr, Obsidian, and Ivy with her.
Walking outside, I evoked my wings to go up in the sky as fast as I could, but not fast enough to break the sound barrier, not wanting to wake everyone up.
The higher I rose, the more my mind cleared, the sound produced by the wind the only thing bearable for kilometres. So high I rose that not even planes dared approach me. I was alone, and I wished for nothing more at the moment.
As I approached the emptiness of space, I stopped myself just a few kilometres away, something that I could cover in mere seconds, I didn't dare to surpass; instead, I remained at the same height as I went into deep meditation.
I felt the mana surrounding me, the numbness of elementless mana, the vitality of nature, the adaptability of the dimension, the eagerness of the blood, and the speed of the wind, I felt all of it, but I still missed something, something that could finally give me the security, the courage to approach the mansion, and get my revenge.
And so I did something, I used my points, the closer I got to a hundred, the harder it was becoming to grow, points diminishing as training became nothing more than a waste of time.

I felt all the mana constantly changing into a different form, fire filled with courage, the steadiness of earth, the stillness of water, the vastness of space, the weight of gravity, the infinity of time, but I searched deeper and pushed further than I ever did before.
The mana surrounding me filled my body, my muscles stopped being made of flesh, my bones were not made of collagen anymore, my nerves fused with my body, I was slowly stopping being a mere human, and turning into something far better.

My flesh and organs were made by blood, my bones by wood, my nerves were directly connected to this dimension, and I stopped breathing air as my body produced the oxygen I needed by itself.

While previously I only perceived mana types, now I felt their connection, I "saw" how they were connected to create a beautiful picture of absolute chaos, but also harmony in itsown way.
Mana was everything and nothing; it was the process of creation and destruction. The building block of all realities, but also the destroyer of them, and now I am part of this energy.
My hair changed colour, from its previous black, now turned blue with the same shade of elementless mana, my eyes, instead, a window directly to my soul, constantly shifted colour, crimson red, deep green, light green, golden, and blue, a representation of the mana types I am currently connected to, but a new one is about to arrive.
I moved my hand, and mana followed without even controlling it. I clapped my hands, and the dimension shrank. I swung down with my arm, and a blade made purely of wind flew forward. The wood that constructed my bones came out from my skin to create wood armour, the blood that composed flesh began heating as my body expanded with pure energy and strength.
I was about to continue the thing I had come here for, when my first confidant arrived, the being who had started with me my progression towards magic, the one who remained always by my side and helped me grow more than anyone else, Obsidian.
Flying in the middle of the air, the little dragon was smiling while looking at me, feeling a sense of similarity, the two of us made both of our mana now, and then a light covered his whole body.
His limbs grew longer, his body became larger and stronger, and his wings, previously barely able to cover my face, now became big enough to cover my whole body.
Without saying anything, Obsidian rolled his new body all around me as a form of protection, already aware that what I was about to do could bring new forms of attention I didn't want.
Finally taking out the Phial of Elemental Infusion, I removed its cap and smelled nothing, the liquid inside was a liquid form of elementless mana, ready to be turned into anything I could imagine, and I have quite the bright imagination with my current Int and Wis.
So I swung it down, and my conscience slipped from my hands, for I wasn't merely gaining a new element; what I was gaining was one of the building blocks of the universe.
I am bringing chaos.
