Chapter 38 Full Potential Of The Indestructible Versatile Clothes
Opening his system inventory, Keith took out the Indestructible Versatile Clothes.
A spherical gas-like substance appeared on Keith's right hand. He felt that he could mold it into any form of clothes.
With that feeling in mind, Keith thought of transforming the colorless spherical gas-like substance into an azure-green magic cape.
After the IVC (Indestructible Versatile Clothes) registered Keith's thoughts, it transformed into what Keith wanted it to be. The gas-like substance instantly transformed into an azure-green magic cape.
Wearing it, the azure green magic cape blended well with Keith's green-colored school uniform.
Releasing his mana, Keith transferred it towards his magic cape as it was now under his control. After controlling the magic cape for a few minutes, Keith found out that the IVC could be useful in his battle.
'Although the IVC doesn't provide any defense, it seems that I could transfer my mana to it to enhance its defense. Its advantages lay in the fact that it could be shaped and transformed into any form as long as it retained its cloth-like property.'
When Keith thought about using the full potential of his IVC, he made another experiment to test whether the IVC could be used for combat.
Just as usual, he imbued his mana into the IVC. The end of the azure green magic cape parted as it looked like a tattered cape. Several strips of clothing were formed at the end of the magic cape.
When Keith further controlled his mana on the magic cape, the green-colored strips transformed into chains with sharp spearheads.
The azure green magic robe looked alive and sentient as if it had its own free will. The green-colored cloth chains were harder than steel after Keith used his mana to reinforce them.
Ten green-colored cloth chains sprouted out from Keith's azure green magic robe and with his mana manipulation, he could easily control it. After several minutes of controlling it, Keith willed the IVC to transform back into its magic cape form.
"With my SSS-grade mana manipulation, I can control the cloth chains as if it was another appendage of mine."
"Is this what it feels to be like an octopus? Although, it would be hilarious if I used cloth tentacles instead of cloth chains."
Keith lightly joked as he stopped using his mana. He no longer performed his training as he was already satisfied with the results of his experiment.
"It seems that after my body awakened mana, its metabolism has increased greatly. Whenever I consume mana or use it, my hunger also increases. After all, energy doesn't come out of nothing and that applies to mana as well."
Noticing that his stomach grumbled and required food, Keith concluded that recovering his mana would also increase his hunger. Some of the nutrients that his body had digested would be converted into mana which made him experience hunger after using his mana for several hours.
Keith knew that it wouldn't be a problem if the mana in the atmosphere was dense and thick enough for him to use it. But since the dimensional gate had recently descended, the mana in the atmosphere could only be used to influence and awaken the body of the human population. It wasn't enough to be used to supplement the mana pool of mages.
It has only been a few hours since the dimensional gate had descended so the mana in the atmosphere wasn't thick enough. And since Keith's mana pool was larger than most mana users due to his SSS-grade mana manipulation skill, his food consumption was naturally higher than theirs as well.
But since he was rich, Keith didn't care much about spending a ton of money just to maintain his mana pool at its full state.
"Hmm… I don't know why but I instinctively want to go to McDowell's and if I don't go, I feel that I will regret it."
"Welp, my instinct had never been mistaken yet so I might as well. Not to mention, eating fries and burgers should be able to satiate my hunger."
Knowing that his ZZZ-grade Ultimate Instinct wouldn't fail him, Keith decided to follow his instinct and he exited the hotel room via the window.
After jumping out of the window, Keith manipulated his magic cape as it transformed into a pair of azure green-colored cloth wings. With his mana manipulation, Keith flapped his cloth wings and flew towards the nearest McDowell's.
After flying for a few minutes, Keith landed on the street which attracted the attention of the people. But he didn't mind since it would only be a matter of time before the majority of the awakened humans would reveal their awakened skills
Under the gazes of the crowd, the green-colored cloth wings on Keith's back transformed back into an azure green magic cape.
Walking towards the entrance of McDowell's, Keith pulled the glass door as the cold air-conditioned air wafted out.
After entering the establishment, a part-timer greeted him.
"Welcome to McDowell's, how may I help you?"
