Chapter 156 – The Spirit Descends!
“First of all, I’m going to descend, so take a good look with your magic sense.”
“Yes.”
Having said that, Tiya performed the descent. Looking at it using magic sense, there’s no waste in magic power. Was the whole point of raising my magic sense level to enable me to see spirit descent?
“The first thing I want you to do is be slow and careful, the same way I did.”
“Understood.”
I took a few deep breaths and spoke to Zeal and told him that I was going to do the descent and then I slowly did it while being aware of my connection with Zeal.
“And it’s done…”
“Good for you.”
Ad
I was able to do the descent and unlike before, my magic power still seemed to last for a few more minutes.
“But there’s still waste.”
“I agree…”
Lightning sometimes leaks from my body. It’s not as much as you might think, but it’s proof that I’m wasting my magic power.
“Try to release spirit magic in that state.”
“Uh-huh.”
I was worried about the amount of magic power, but if I didn’t increase the power too much, it wouldn’t be a problem to use spirit magic several times.
“Raiden slash…”
“Fufu… try again.”
When I waved my hand instead of the sword and used spirit magic, I felt terribly uncomfortable. I waved again to control it.
“Huh…?”
Ad
“Got it? That’s the number one advantage of Spiritual Descent.”
The second time, I only waved my hand with the image of doing a lightning strike. I didn’t specifically manipulate magic power to use spirit magic.
“During spirit descent, you don’t need to chant at all. All you have to do is imagine it and the spirit will prepare the magic for you.”
I see…. This is the reason why Elira was able to use magic just by waving her arms when she fought Becua in the representative match…. So it was almost meaningless when I spirit descended while fighting that demon…. I didn’t even think about it at the time, I just hit him…
“Ah…”
I was thinking about it and my magic power was almost running out.
“Here.”
“Thank you…”
At that moment, Tiya handed me an MP potion. I drank it down in one gulp.
“Then, from now on, you’ll start practicing on how to stop the magic power from wasting.”
Ad
“Yes.”
And now the practice of eliminating the lightning that was subtly leaking began.
“Yes…!”
And after several attempts, I was finally able to reduce the amount of magic power wasted to zero.
“Can you move?”
“I can’t!”
I can’t move because my body is too stiff from suppressing the leaking magic power.
“Hee…! Then I’ll force you to move!”
“Huh??”
When Tiya said that, my body started to move and I tried my best to suppress my magic power from leaking out again. Could it be possible that I’m being controlled by the shadows?!
“Hmm… It’s impossible to fight properly in your current state. Think of another way.”
“Haa…haa……… yes…”
I feel like I’m frightened because my body was moving on its own and It’s true that this can suppress the magic power that leaks out, but if I can’t move, it has no practical use at all. As Tiya said, I need to think of another way…
“That’s it for today. Good job.”
“…Thank you for your hard work…”
In the end, I couldn’t find a way to reduce the amount of magic power that leaked out after that to zero. I can find ways to reduce the amount of magic power leaking, but it is difficult to reduce it to zero. Tiya said that there is a trick. The way to reduce it to zero is different for each person. By the way, Tiya said, “ponky! Gyu! I have no idea what that means
“Do you two have any good ideas?┘\
I couldn’t come up with any good ideas on my own, so I gave up and asked Zeal and Yug.
“Hmm… I think there’s a trick to it. That’s why it’s so hard. Well, if you do it for a few days, the amount that leaks will decrease on its own and eventually it will be zero.┘\
“So that’s how it is.”
Just like Zeal said, there may be no choice than to relax and do it.
“Hmm… why should the leaking magic power get reduced to zero?┘\
“Huh?┘\
“Huh?┘\
Zeal and I were confused by Yug’s question.
“Because if your magic power leaks, it’ll be wasted.”
“Don’t you always fight with lightning?┘\
“At the time of the spirit descent, the magic power is wasted.”
“So instead of preventing the lightning from leaking, why don’t you just prevent it from leaving your body?┘\
“Ah…”
Ad
It’s true that even if it’s dripping, it won’t go to waste if I keep it near my body all the time. It’s useless because I haven’t been able to make effective use of the lightning that is flowing.
“In the first place, you should absorb the lightning that is leaking out using lightning absorption as magic power, right?┘\
“I see… thanks Yug.”
I seem to have been thinking too much. If the efficiency of lightning absorption exceeds 100%, I’ll not lose my magic power if I can absorb all the lightning that was supposed to leak out during the spirit descent.
“Ah”
But then I’d have to keep using the lightning rod from my title. Then I won’t be able to release the lightning. I’ll have to experiment with this to find out. But I have a clue to the solution, so that’s good! I’m looking forward to trying again!
