133 Episode 29: And Reflections (1/2)

”Her Royal Highness Sister Wang... what is this...?

”Success, or...?

Charne is still wrapped in thunder with bees and sounds. He looks anxiously at this one as he looks down at his own hand. Next to me Tomas is observing Charne with a serious look.

”Yeah, I think it's a success.... I knew physical strengthening would be a prerequisite.”

”What do you mean?

”Before that explanation, Charne first. We have to do something about that thunder.”

”Yes!... well, what should I do?

”Wouldn't it disappear if I unlocked my physical enhancement?

I guess Charne is trying to unlock the physical enhancement as I'm told. However, there is no sign that thunder will disappear even if an eyebrow leans between Charne's eyebrows.

”... well, what shall we do, Sister Wang? I can't lift my physical strength... and, uh, some magic...”

”Magic? What's wrong with magic?

”It's kind of like I've been using magic for a long time, and I'm getting a little tired...”

I'm starting to see more and more fatigue in Charne's face. Could it be that you're wearing out more and more of Charne's magic in your current state?

Charne doesn't seem to know how to disarm her, and she's staring at me like she knows what to do.

In my case, physical strengthening would have stopped if I had stopped supplying my magic. That's what I thought, and I tried to get him to disarm the physical enhancement, but Charne can't seem to disarm the physical enhancement himself. Besides, it keeps consuming magic.

”... Charne, can you use magic besides physical strengthening in that state? If you aim for the magic loss, it might stop.”

”Well, that's... Something's wrong with the feeling of magic, and like always, it's hard to control...”

”Okay. Sharne, take this.”

Magic can't be activated properly either.... This may be a bit unsavory,

I pulled the celestial out of my sheath and let Charne hold it. Charne was suddenly handed a celestial to round her eyes.

”Oh, that!? Sister Wang, why do you have a celestial!?”

”Because if I were Mana Blade, I might break it. Charne, try to create a magic blade with magic as it is in the celestial. Imagine spitting it all out.”

”Yes, sir”

Celestial held in Sharne's hand creates a magic blade to respond to Sharne's will. A yellow-green magic blade occurred, not the empty blade I was used to seeing. The colour of his body is like the demonic stone of Fenrill.

And I would like to pay even more attention to the fact that the body is just as thunderous as Charne. Make a prediction that Charne's magic will be reflected in the magic blade as it is.

”What do you say? You think you can keep it down?

”Yes. I made it easier when I tried to transfer it all to Celestial...”

Fenrir's aura, which Charne had wrapped around, disappeared to the point where the lightning-wrapped blade of Celestial increased its presence. Is it true that Charne has also gotten easier, or is she feeling a little weak?

Now, the next problem is the magic blade of thunder that has formed.

”Charne, try releasing the magic blade towards the sky. That should fit in.”

”Towards the sky...... like this, is it?

Charne turned to the sky as I was told, letting the magic blade go free.

The next moment, the thunder shook my eardrum. Charne's unleashed magic blade ascended to heaven as if thunder were returning to the sky, paying off the clouds.

It seems that the shock recoil that emitted so much noise that it shook its tympanic membrane has come to Charne. She's got her ass cake on her like she was bounced and let go of the celestial.

”Charne, it's okay!?”

”Huh... it's okay, I just hurt my wrist a little...”

”Wrist? You can't move it, just rest first. Has magic gone back to normal?

”Ah, yes. I don't feel weird anymore.”

Hearing Sharne's response, I accidentally leaked a breath of relief.

I'm really glad nothing happened. At the same time, if this left Charne with major injuries and sequelae, such an imagination ran something cold on my spine.

”... I'm sorry I let you get hurt, Charne. You made me feel scared, didn't you? I was in such a hurry.”

”Sister Wang is not apologizing! Look, because I'm fine!

When I apologize, Charne laughs and tells her not to worry while she's awkward. I feel like I'm saved by that Charne smile.

I told Sharne, thank you, as I stroked Sharne's head.

”I came back wondering what it was, was it a demon stone activation experiment”

”Sorry to surprise you, Navre, Gakkun.”

”No, no. I'm glad nothing happened.”

Navre and Gakkun rushed in when they heard the sound of thunder as they were making allowance for Charne's injury since then. Charne took care of herself, fixed her wrist, and kept it to herself so she wouldn't move.

The place for discussion has moved to the salon, where Priscilla, who was going to deliver the report to Uncle Drags, is brewing tea.

And in front of us is a box with Fenrill's demon stone sealed again. That's the outfit we're all talking about as we surround ourselves.

”Dear Anis, can you explain? How did you manage to activate the Demon Stone? The tip said physical enhancement...”

”It's still early to conclude that physical enhancement is not included in magic in the new definition, but you explained it to the Navres before, right?” Physical strengthening is working with spirits living in the soul to improve their physical abilities. ”

”Oh, that's it, isn't it? Talk about the different quality and way enhancements are done for each attribute”

Pong, and Gakun gavels in as he puts his fist over his palm. I keep talking, nodding at Gakun.

”Yes. Magic is zero out of the soul, and its magic is influenced by the Spirit that dwells in the soul. That's good, isn't it?

”Yes. So, what does it have to do with physical strengthening and demon stones?

”I want you to remember, Demon Stone is a subspecies of Spirit Stone that has been transformed in the first place, spiritual stone but has been transformed into something else. But even the Demon Stone is based on the Spirit, and the same Spirit as the Spirit from which it came will be gathered, right?

”... So the only reason the Demon Stone didn't start before was because it was a magic that didn't resonate?

”I think that's the thing. Physical strengthening, by its very nature, activates the Spirit that dwells in you. I think demonic stones that prey on spirits are activated by feeding on something more limited: the magic of spirits, rather than simple magic.”

Magic is influenced by inner spirits. But if you don't bother to do something that evokes the Spirit, I think the magic of the natural state is very thin to say even the color of the Spirit.

That's why the Demon Stone isn't simply feeding on magic, it's a hypothesis that it feeds on the magic of the Spirit. That's why it takes the magic of an activated Spirit to activate the Demon Stone.
