"it is going to be okay. I have a plan to stop that from happening".
Orun booming with confidence, reassured the Wyvern leader on the issue of permanent mana consumption for the naming process.
"you have a way? What is it"
Orun was not the one that came up with the idea, Oracle did. Only after several evaluation on how much mana it would cost for naming the Wyvern pack.
Oracle's task, is to make sure that Orun continues to grow uninterrupted, and what he is about to do, could lead to a decrease in the growth he has accumulated over the years.
"by putting my racial characteristics to use".
Orun's newly acquired skill, Elemental creation, as its name implies, is a skill that grants Orun the power naturally gifted to all elemental kings.
The skill, is the purpose for the existence of all elemental kings, and Oracle, has found a way to use that purpose to benefit Orun.
When he was fighting with Caius, he used an absolute type skill to create Salamander and Efreet, two high tier elemental spirits.
The created elementals, could be said to be in their incomplete form, as a result of the composition they were made from, the merging of a human with an elemental king.
Even in their incomplete form, they had within them, a core that generates energy to their bodies that makes movement possible, breathing out fire, and exerting disaster like physical ability.
The core, is what differentiates them from a lifeless doll, and it is also what Orun is going to use as a loophole in the naming process of the Wyvern.
The requirement for naming a monster, is determined based on the core, not exactly on the mana.
Only a much larger core that houses more mana, can be privileged enough to name a monster of weaker rank than the namer.
Oracle's plan, is to use the Elemental creation skill to create an elemental, then the core from that elemental will be extracted, and used in the naming of the Wyverns.
It is sort of an addition process. Giving the Wyverns the core of the created elemental, through the process of naming.
What Orun will be losing in this process, is the amount of mana that will be needed to use the skill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMana used in the activation of a skill, would eventually be gotten back. But mana used in naming a monster will not be gotten back.
In his current condition, he has a limit to the amount of elemental spirits that he can create at a time, but the numbers should be more than enough to reach all sixteen.
Oracle has discerned that it takes a maximum amount of ten million mana to use in the creation of an highest tier elemental spirit, a creation having its own mana core with the help of the elemental creation skill.
"will that work".
The idea sounds nice to the ears of the Wyvern leader, but the logic behind it, sounds confusing.
"it will work. I have given it a theoretical test, and verified its result. The only thing I have to watch out for, is the usage of mana. I don't want to run out of it when there is still much left to do".
"all I need from you all now, is what name you prefer to go by".
"it does not work that way Orun. You are the namer, so you get to choose the name you think is appropriate for us to go by".
"i see....."
Orun feels attacked. His naming sense is not top tier, and wonders if the Wyvern will be pleased with the name he gives to them.
'a name.....? Oracle, can you help me out here'.
[ yes Master, I can, but it would be more symbolic if Master ends up coming up with the name ].
Orun decided to take Oracle's and the Wyvern leader's advice into action. If the two of them are simultaneously suggesting that he be the one to choose the name, must mean it is just that important, so why not.
"okay, to start the naming, I am going to need you guys to queue in a straight line, males on the right, and females on the left. The order should be in historic selection. The youngest at the front, all the way to the oldest at the back".
The Wyvern leader followed through with Orun's command, starting with the Wyvern leader who flew herself to the back while the rest of the Wyvern were arranging themselves according to their age difference, and gender.
Orun stood at the center of the gender splitted race, and thought deeply before he started the naming.
On the right side of the line, there are six males, and on the left side, there are ten females.
He checked their numbers first before starting to walk in their midst while giving out the names he had carefully thought through.
Orun continued to walk, touching them and giving out a name, then going unto the next one, from right to left.
For the first male down to the sixth male, he named them;

Those were the names he gave to all fifteen Wyverns, and got to the last Wyvern, the oldest of them all; the Wyvern leader.
"Wildria. That is your name from now henceforth".
Orun says, touching her wing like hand.
When he was finally done naming them all, he turned back, and walked to where he had earlier stood, at the center where he was facing them all.
'Oracle, you can commence the evolution process now'.
[ as you command, master ].
On his command, Oracle began the process, starting with taking over Orun's body.
He had his two hands extended to the sides, and slowly raised up.
Unlike Orun who enjoyed the thrill of mentioning what sort of skill he would be using, Oracle was not like that.
The moment it took over Orun's body, Oracle had activated the Elemental Creation Skill, and started carrying out its task.
A bright orb formed itself above Orun's head, cumulating more orbs into it, and turning it one massive orb.
The orb had reached its climax form, and was now shadowing the entire Wyvern pack.
He abruptly fell his hand, with the orb in response to his action, hastily dropped down on the Wyvern pack, shattering in their midst and splitting into sixteen pieces.
The shattered pieces, some bigger than the rest, found their way to the Wyverns, slowly penetrating into their scale, until it was no longer in sight.
