Episode 114
There are many types of power in the world.
Magical power commonly used by humans.
Auror used by beasts.
An elemental technique mainly used by elves.
There was also the divine power used by the temple that has now disappeared, and there is also the main force used by the shamans of different races in the south.
There is also prana, which is expressed as an extreme mind for one thing. There is even a mysterious power used by the Prophets of the Circle Church.
There are so many powers in the world that it is impossible to reveal them all.
Most of them were originally powers that only a certain race could use, and the same was true of magic.
A power originally used by dragons.
Therefore, it had an overwhelming versatility, and had a great influence on humans seizing the hegemony of the continent.
It strengthens the body and causes an impossible miracle.
Warriors and wizards have always been in demand, and it could be said that they had the greatest impact on human development.
However, unlike a warrior who can enter anyone if he has the necessary vision to deal with magical powers, he requires thorough talent to become a wizard.
Humans are not born with mana.
I’m just trying to gather up some mana in the air and use it.
It wasn’t that difficult to use magic power to strengthen the body. You just need to know the structure of your body.
And the body to study it was everywhere.
Humans had the madness to dissect thousands or tens of thousands of corpses to advance the vision.
A vision that captured both safety and capability was thus completed.
‘But what about magic?’
It’s just that the ranks of wizards couldn’t be divided until the circle magic system came out.
Vision using the body has a low barrier to initiation, even without talent.
It draws in magic and makes it flow through a certain path, creating a skill. There were visions that could be compared to magic, but there were plenty of visions that could be used without them.
But it wasn’t magic.
It was a time when dozens of magical systems and skills were not even able to be judged until they saw each other.
To put it bluntly, a brilliant wit and a lot of ideas were tried, and, to be honest, Jung-gu heating was quite mischievous.
Magic is the twisting of external reality through the magic within the body.
As far as drawing magic power into the body, it can do anything.
But ‘how’ can you create fire by projecting magic to the outside?
How do you make it rain, and how do you make lightning fall from the sky?
To that end, humans have mobilized every imaginable method.
Magical power originally belonged to dragons, so some tried to make it into a dragon’s core, while others pulled out its eyes, claiming that it blocked the sight of the essence of things.
However, most of them did not give clear results or had bloated side effects.
The circle magic system that appeared at that time was truly revolutionary.
Excellent enough to abolish all existing magical systems.
There was good reason for the current wizards to use a unified system.
Dragons and humans have different body structures.
The dragon’s sense organs surpassed the human five senses, and the amount of information received by the brain was different.
When humans recognize the use of things by looking at their appearance, the dragon accepts the essence of things.
A sensory organ higher than that of humans that cannot be understood without recognizing external objects.
Through it, it is possible to exert influence through magic on the outside and to interfere with reality.
It was also the reason why humans have fundamental difficulties in using magic.
And it was the circle magic system that filled the gap.
Circle magic creates a ring in the heart and attracts magical power.
The attracted horsepower was kept in a round shape and rotated endlessly, so it was stable, and the more the number of rings, the more horsepower it could have.
This alone greatly improved the safety of the body containing the magic, but that was not the end.
There was another reason for the wizards to pursue the circle magic system as a unified system until now.
sensing power.
To make things within a certain range omniscient according to the number of rings.
3m for 1st rank, 15m for 2nd rank, 75m for 3rd rank.
Within that range, so that there is nothing the wizard is unaware of, it really forms a dragon-like sense organ and perceives information.
This was the driving force that made it possible for wizards to easily twist reality, and even use external magic within the realm.
It was for this reason that the wizard divided the hierarchy based on the number of rings.
Because having many loops meant that we could perceive, accept, and project more into reality.
“But it is also true that the development of magic has stalled because of that.”
Because it was so good, it was difficult to find a way to supplement this and move forward in another way.
Because it was difficult to find what was lacking.
The sound of the door closing was heard, and the door Allen came out of disappeared in an instant.
There was no incontinence on the pure white wall, as if there was a door.
Academy report.
It’s the place he’s been in and out of for the past few days.
A place where you can exchange the treasures you have collected from the academy through the achievements you have earned.
“… Strangely, there are few books on the soul.”
Allen took a step forward with a skeptical look on his face.
It could have been expected that there would be few magic books related to souls.
Because the soul hadn’t been studied properly yet.
However, it was difficult to understand the fact that no matter how much I searched for four days after the school vacation began, I could not find a book related to it.
As if someone deliberately left it out.
“You didn’t look closely, did you?”
“I wish I had.”
The Academy’s treasury is a place where space is warped.
Even if there are many people at the same time, it is a place where you can leisurely look around alone.
It was a vacation, so there were only a few seats, so it was an optimal time to look around alone.
“Even so, there is no income, la.”
This was obviously weird.
Even though Inelia had been selling her products for half a year, she was skeptical that she couldn’t find a single book, but does it make sense that she couldn’t find it even in a treasure trove full of treasures?
“Then what are you going to do now? Now I don’t know where to get the book.”
The reason I came to the academy was to improve my skills and to find magic books or books related to the soul.
But I haven’t been able to achieve anything for half a year… .
‘There must be only one left.’
Allen returned to the treasury and exchanged all the necessary items for a month with the public money he had accumulated.
If it’s not the best, you have no choice but to choose the next lane.
In order to enter magic, it is most important to know the type of magic that you recognize.
This is because the form of magic indicates the path that the wizard must walk.
A person who perceives magical power as a light breeze.
A person who feels magical power through a burning flame.
A person who identifies magical powers as a slick liquid.
Their understanding of their cognition and magical powers was different.
This is because the human race itself, which mimics the magic and magic of dragons, was the limit.
So the wizards who recognized the form of magic had no choice but to enter the magic line suitable for their type of magic.
The magic of light wind is the magic of the wind system.
Heavy liquid-like magical powers cast water-based magic.
The solid rock-like magic is the magic of the earth type.
Numerous lines of magic that have developed because of the diversity of forms of magic that people perceive.
Of course, you can enter multiple magical systems at once.
But to be successful, you need to focus on one thing.
Because it was rather poisonous to learn several things at the same time in order to rise to the 7th rank, the boundary of a true superhuman.
It was not that there were no people who united various lineages, but such people were also listed in the history books.
Just because an ordinary person like Allen concentrated on various lines, it was far from reaching the 7th rank.
So, what is the 7th order?
How far did Allen reach before returning?
7 rings of land.
Or it was called the 7th circle.
However, it was only Allen forced to raise it by spending his forbidden book and lifespan.
A true 7th-level wizard has his own ‘new role’.
A certain range of omniscience and thus magical omnipotence.
Within a certain realm, the 7th order wizard can be called a true god.
It was also something Allen couldn’t have.
Because he couldn’t build a new role on his own.
That is why, just before returning, he made a fuss of preparations to bring in Julius, and he ripped his soul apart with a sword made by forcibly constructing a new realm within a very small range.
Can you do it now?
‘I still can’t.’
Magic power is infinite as long as there is a dragon core.
Because it has a dragon’s core, its sensing ability is also incomparable.
If Allen’s mind could withstand it, it was possible to cause a truly dragon-like disaster.
However, even now, a new station could not be built.
The new role is to twist reality as the complete understanding and potential of the magical system that has been trained has reached its peak.
A huge crater may appear over the plain, and a meteor shower may suddenly fall. Oceans can be created in the air, and gravity can be reversed.
Rubbing the surrounding space as if it didn’t care about the rules of the world as if it were one’s own.
The essence of the divine work was there.
With Allen’s lack of knowledge and learning, he could only imitate an artificial divine role.
‘Can’t really do it?’
There are three types of magic that Allen has trained.
Space, soul, contract.
And if I had to force one more, it would be an unstable time-based magic.
This is because the form of magic that Allen recognized was a thread.
It is a space because it seamlessly connects the things that are separated from each other.
It is the soul because the soul is the one connected with the body.
It is a contract because the contract between people (契約) leads to a single thread (絲).
Lines that were forced to enter with the near-forced belief that can be obtained from the thread and the madness to find the soul of Julius.
‘and… Unstable time magic is really,’
Time-based magic right?
I had a question.
The quest for time-based magic was still sluggish.
Rather than going back in time, Allen thought that it was reasonable to speculate that he moved to a different time axis than the first round.
Because it was more feasible to move to a different time axis than to go back to the past by going back the entire universe.
But time magic does exist as a result.
Doesn’t work on living things.
But it works for non-living things like stones.
What’s the difference?
“Living things have souls, inanimate objects have no souls.”
Is that really all?
The thread came loose.
“Inanimate objects work because they do not have souls, and living things do not work because they have souls.”
But if time passes, the result is not the same.
The iron will rust and disappear.
But does being human make a difference?
“It just crumbles to dust.”
If so, what difference would make the result different?
If you check after several decades, won’t the metal stay longer?
As Allen’s thoughts deepened, a skein of thread was released around him.
“The result is the same. There is only a difference in time. Then what, why, why?”
Broaden the limits of your thinking. Stretched out into more unrealistic, more delusional guesses.
“The fate of iron is decided. Forged by a blacksmith, buried in the ground, flowing.”
That was the fate of all that did not breathe.
It does not change in place, or is transformed by external intervention.
So what about humans?
“Humans are changing beings. No, that is the case with all intelligent beings.”
The dragon’s core began to spit itself out. The rumbling of the boat rang low.
“There are things in humans that do not change. But at least he doesn’t change his whole life like iron. He is influenced by the little things, and he tries to change himself.”
A person born in a farmhouse can become a soldier, or a mere fisherman’s son can become a wizard.
Isn’t that the same for himself?
What is the eldest son of a declining count, who would have lived a smooth life if he had been in the past, now what?
“It doesn’t change, it changes itself.”
My first inspiration for time-based magic was when I changed the fortunes of Linbell and Enelia.
The first time magic was established as one of the systematic magic was after the battle between Julius and Benjamin ended.
What do these have in common?
“Did your fate change?”
This conclusion was not enough.
A little more.
I closed my eyes. Deep into the sea of the past. into the dark deep sea.
When was the next time you felt that something had changed?
went back in memory.
A little more, a little more.
It was a time when I was shocked by the deaths of the crew members during the dungeon practice.
It was when I received the position of an apostle of the circle church.
The time has come to enlist all that can be recruited to Arcanthus.
memories go on
The thread continued.
It goes on and on and on.
“Time system? No, it was wrong.”
You didn’t even believe that time existed from the beginning.
And time?
It’s funny to think that something that was sewn wrong from the first button would work.
The three magical systems are woven into one.
A skein of thread pierced the space.
The skein of the soul continues.
A relationship is a kind of contract.
Countless threads of thread floated on his body and disappeared.
Some of them were thick and some were short. There were some red threads, and some had already been broken. Some had a beginning but no end, and some had very, very thin threads running far away.
The thread disappeared completely in a short time.
The skein that filled the room, suddenly only one strand remained and fluttered by Allen’s side.
Allen opened his eyes.
“… Yes, I was completely mistaken. hour? no. You’re using a name like that.”
in this place now.
Since the opening of the Age of Magic, a new line of magic has opened that no one has dared to try.
“The magic of fate, you’ve come this far.”
fate followed.
