Episode 144 This is not a trip! (5)

He was so busy learning new skills that he forgot to contact Aina.
Because the performance of the newly learned technique was beyond my imagination, and it was a situation where I couldn’t see anything else.
What the hell is that technology, so much so that I forgot to even contact Aina, who is dead and can’t live…

“What kind of technique are you talking about while capturing the atmosphere like that?”
“Do you remember the first sword technique I used on the first day we met?”
“I do remember. Dozens of people fell with one swing, right?”
“I do remember you.”
Because it was such an overwhelming majesty, it is still vividly engraved in my mind.
All of a sudden they all died when I whirled, because that’s just how it was.
Are you saying you’re learning it now?
It would be great if I could learn it, but I don’t think I’ve had that level of skill yet.
“But, is that something you can learn? Compared to when I first met Master, I have grown a lot, but compared to Master, I am still far behind.”
“Of course, it will still be difficult. It’s not an ordinary skill, it’s a skill that creates an intangible sword that reflects your will.”
I’m never going to bother
I mean, it’s like the heart sword that appears in Martial Arts.
How do I learn what I can only learn when I reach the level of absolute mastery?
“Then you know the skills I can learn, so why did I bring it up?”
“Don’t you have a method that you can use to your heart’s content?”
… I knew it, this gentleman.
If you use mana threads that are so thin that you can’t see them clearly, it’s not impossible to create a directing similar to a deep sword.
The problem is that even that is incredibly difficult for me.
It’s not that hard to deal with mana threads, but handling mana glaives and mana threads at the same time is a completely different level of difficulty.
Why, the double casting in the fantasy world has to reach a considerable level before it can be used.
Asking me to use Mana Glaive and Mana Sil at the same time is in the same vein as saying to someone who has just started hearing the sound of a wizard to suddenly use double casting.
However, if you only use manasil, you will soon find out that you are not a deep sword when dealing with an enemy with a sharp sense.
“It is possible in theory, but I think it will be difficult to use in practice.”
“I left the spectral prism of Managlaive that I gave to you, but where are you going to use it? Besides, you explained with your mouth that the Managlaive also has special functions.”
right! was it?
If you raise the Managlaive to an overcharged state with the Overdrive module, the power of the blade will be less reduced even if the blade is split with a spectral prism.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Mana stems scattered (?) with a spectral prism can be used like mana threads.Is it possible?
“It’s not going to take a long time, but if it’s just for a while, it’s probably worth trying.”
“Then let’s start practicing. I’ll show you one more time, so pay close attention.”
same as back then
The appearance of eleven fireflies flying like crazy, gathering at a point and then disappearing.
Instead of a sword that pierces through enemies while drawing a sharp trajectory, the shape that creates countless inflection points with flexible movements seemed to come alive.
However… Now that I have a bit of an eye, this technique just felt a little strange.
Rather than feeling like a sword that moves sharply and with moderation, it just seemed like it was moving at will, leaving the body to the flow.
“What is the name of that technology?”
“Marduk.”
It’s a little different from the technical names I’ve heard so far.
The previous ones were definitely cases where the developers gave names to them, but this time they are the names of gods in myths.
Is there anything special about it?
“That is the name of a god in Mesopotamian mythology. Is there any special reason for the technology to have a different name?”
“Yeah, it’s not the Spiritual Spirit, it’s the 7-Star, Ur’s skill.”
There are memories that I hear as if passing by.
There was a brief talk when Nihilis taught the history of Spirituality, and Aina explained the types of Managlaive swordsmanship.
I just never learned it.
In the beginning, Ur itself was an improved technique based on the unfinished spiritual knowledge, so I felt there was no need to learn it.
Nihilis also hadn’t taught me any of Ur’s skills.
But what is the reason for suddenly teaching Ur after coming to Inje?
“It is stronger than the unfinished Spiritual Spirit, but weaker than the completed Spiritual Spirit. But do you really need to learn it?”
“I have no doubt that you will complete the Spirituality. One, shouldn’t it be necessary to know how to adapt to reality? Sooner or later, your great name will be widely spread around the world. The problem is, there is no guarantee that you will be able to complete the Spirit Spirit until then.”
“You are saying that it will be difficult to deal with the villains you will encounter in the future with only unfinished technology.”
“The bigger problem is that most of the spiritual skills are specialized in person-to-person warfare. If you become famous, a lot of other people will follow you, and no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to subdue all the guys who attack at the same time just by being popular.”
In other words, it’s like, ‘Right now, when I’m only going to raid parties with parties, just being popular is enough, but when the time comes when I have to carry myself hard on my own, won’t I be able to survive without a wide range?’
To prepare for that, I’d like to learn the wide-area technique in advance.
I know the intention.
In fact, I think it will be of great help to me.
But, if that’s the case, there’s no need to explain it while holding on to the weight, right?
It’s a swordsmanship that has its roots in the same place anyway, so it’s not easy to learn.
“I understand what you mean. But anyway, if it was Ur, which is based on spirituality, it would be easy to learn, but why are you giving me the fear as if it would be a difficult journey?”
“No, it is never easy. Although the roots are the same, the way technology is manifested is the exact opposite of Spiritualism. Still, it might be easier for you.”
“How is it different?”
“Spirit food controls mana. Ur is ruled by mana.”
This was the discomfort I just felt.
Somehow something was different.
Its vitality, which cannot be found in other spirit-style techniques, came from mana.
“Then, the firefly-like movement was not intended, it just followed the flow of mana.”
“You are quick-witted. Accurate.”
“But what do you mean it might be easy for me?”
“Thanks to the elixir, they are said to be gradually being released, but you are still tied to the mana chain. Ur is a sword technique that moves according to the flow of mana, so it goes well with your physical condition that is being led by mana. I can say that it is the best situation to learn Ur.”
‘You’re lucky.’
With that one word, I could sum it all up.
Chloe’s illegal treatment, which happened by chance, would bring so much benefit.
With Serena’s elixir, I was able to recover from my poor physical condition, and of course it wasn’t free, but I was given the opportunity to learn even the good AoE, Ur.
In addition, it takes quite some time for the effect of the elixir to be exerted, so it meant that he had prepared an end to learn Ur before he was released from the shackle of mana.
Then you can rest assured that Blake will start to rise to fame by the time Blake publishes articles about me.
You must be seeing the effect of the elixir, and Ur must be somewhat skilled.
All of these things fit surprisingly well, so I can only say I’m lucky.
“Looks like you’ve come up with another dirty trick.”
“What am I?”
“Your expression says so.”
But you can’t help it.
You have to smile in a situation like this.
Isn’t it?
“Anyway, I have never suffered any loss by following Master’s words, so I will follow Master’s will again this time.”
“It sounds like you are only pursuing your own interests. Well, I’m getting used to your attitude like that.”
“Isn’t it enough to just study hard?”
“… do whatever you want However, there is a problem you need to know before learning Ur.”
“What else?”
“As I said before, Spirit-Sik and Ur are completely opposite techniques of supremacy. If you practice only one side, you will only get used to that sensation and it will be very difficult to deal with the other. We have to maintain harmony so that the balance is not lost.”
It was an instant that my expression, which had been grinning at Nihilis’ declaration, rotted away.
Well, because that was like talking about doubling the amount of training.
In order not to lose the balance, it was said that Urdo and Youngsik should practice the same.
“Let me start. You look better now than before.”
I couldn’t see it, but the expression under the mask seemed to be smiling.
