Novel Full 50 Space Magic?
Eventually, a screen appeared in front of me, causing me to finally look at it in excitement at what I was about to see.

“Holy mother of… This thing was that much stronger than me?! It gave me stat points like it was nothing. If that wasn’t enough, the fact that it was already 96% or more dead by the time we got here, yet I still got such a massive boost in power.” I exclaimed to myself, still unable to believe how much of a power boost I had gotten from something as simple as using life drain.
Once again, I could feel every single cell in my body become energized with power and strength. My muscles felt like they alone could crust trees into diamonds, while my skin felt like walls of 3-meter thick impenetrable steel.
The snake on the other hand was looking at me with widened eyes, also unable to believe what it was seeing but for a different reason.
‘How did he kill that thing? It took me almost 75% of my mana to put it into the state, yet all he had to do was touch it for a few minutes to kill it?’ The snake thought to itself.
While the snake might have put it into a half-dead state, due to the last beam of energy it had used to put it down, it couldn’t have been done if the abomination hadn’t been so weakened in the first place due to the poison that was ravaging its insides.
After having battled the snake for several minutes, the abomination had several bite marks on its body as well as several limbs cut off, yet even after that it didn’t flee, forcing Blanca the snake to use her final attack against the abomination to end it all.
After Blanca finished trying to comprehend what happened, she slowly turned her head towards me just to receive another shock.
With her eyes, she could see mana currents coming out of them and creating a small storm around me out of blood-red energy.
‘It’s faint but I can feel it if I focus…’ Blanca’s eyes narrowed before finally closing again when she felt it.
She could feel that the red energy was not like before. While yes, it might have been chaotic and unnatural, now it had mixed in with the essence of the abomination, tainting it indefinitely but also at a very small scale.
Eventually, while at first being quite distinct and noticeable, the abomination’s scent became one and was overpowered by the blood-red energy.
On my side, however, I was still too busy looking at my new stats with widened eyes to realize what was happening around me.
‘Oh yeah, I still have 2 attribute points.’ I perked up in realization, making me look through all the stats and finally choose which one I wanted to put my points into.
‘Agility since it is the closest to reaching 30 points.’ I concluded and quickly put my two points in it, making the number go from 27 to 29.
[Hp: 120/120]
[Mana: 35/35]
“Are you done?” A booming voice entered my ears, yet due to my new vitality stat that has reached the 31 points, the booming voice didn’t seem like it affected me much.
“Yeah. You said we can do something with this body?” I asked with a raised brow while looking at the snake who was descending towards me.
“Yes, we can. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like you have any way to store the parts of something so big so we might have to resort to grinding the pieces we need into dust.” Blanca explained and did not wait for an answer since she immediately moved to inspect the body.
“Oh, storage? I th-” My sentence was instantly cut off the moment I said the word ‘storage’.
A screen with boxes appeared in front of me, one that looked like the inventory screen of an old game I used to play called minicraft. While I could see that I had about 4 rows of 10 boxes, only 4 boxes were unlocked while a 5th read out the words “Armor”.
‘Appraise-‘
[Appraisal Complete]
[Armor Inventory: Can store one set of armor which you can equip instantly without having to take it out of your inventory first.]
‘That’s awesome! Too bad my armor turned into dust though.’ My lip twitched in anger as I remembered how the bone armor which I had been working on for months turned into dust in the split second I could not remember.
‘One second I had the armor, the next second I had to watch the armor fly in the winds. Rest in piece, you will always be my only lover.’ I let out a silent imaginary tear for my armor set before finally going back to
business.
“H-Hey! Blanca!” I shouted to watch the snake’s attention.
Hearing my shout, the snake stopped searching and looked at me with a tinge of annoyance.
“I have storage space. I doubt it’s big but I’m pretty sure I can store at least 4 things inside.” I explained and made Blanca come towards me to hear what I had to say.
“Show me.” She immediately commanded me, once again causing the corner of my mouth to twitch while ideas of beating the crap out of the snake in front of me ran through my mind.
I quickly discarded those thoughts, however, since I remembered how the corpse in front of us had died due to the snake that I was thinking of beating up.
Looking around, I quickly grabbed a rock, an action that would have normally caused Blanca to raise a brow. However, that simply wasn’t physically possible for her to do.
*PZZzzzt*
I watched as a small crack appeared above the rock. The crack quickly expanded and eventually enveloped the rock before swallowing it into the storage area.
Blanca’s eyes widened at this scene, but she quickly calmed herself down and commanded me once again.
“Take it out…”
“Uhm… Sure?” I thought of taking out the rock and instantly, watched as a rock fell onto the palm of my hand.
I and Blanca seemed to exchange a moment of silence, however, but our minds were running at 100 miles an hour after seeing what I just did.
‘How the hell did I do that?!’ I cried to myself.
‘He has space magic!?’ Blanca inwardly screamed.
