You should have also heard of the moving legend about the great royal family of "Habsburg", right? Once, on this continent, the goddess of "youth", Heber, gave this royal family a [holy relic] that condenses the true power of God, it is a magic crystal that can bring immortality!

However, it was precisely because of this kind of sacred object that made Li Zhi faint that there was a fierce competition within the royal family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Not only that, but it also tempted the rulers of many empires on the continent of Ioros, making countless forces coveted, so they united and launched a war with the aim of snatching this holy artifact.

As a result, in the end, many empires have completely disappeared from history because of this war, and the holy relics are missing!

Today, the truth of the crystal has gradually surfaced, and it has been found by the last descendant of the Habsburg royal family, --- "Silada"!

That's why we learned that the mystery of immortality was sealed in the body of our companion --- Aris, and that your two bosses, by gathering their old ministry, had formed the "Coffin of the Mist", a bandit organization. Then, by plundering large quantities of commercial goods, they hoarded huge amounts of wealth.

Finally, after about seven years, the two of them finally became the richest people in "Midsummer Night"!

Therefore, let me tell you the truth, the fundamental purpose of the building they built, named "Star Tower", and the "Arc of Watch" that spreads almost all over the sea, is to absorb the power contained in the stars of the universe.

With this power, they can open the crystal gem hidden inside Aris's body, and if they succeed, they can gain immortality! So, this is the true face of your boss, you have to see it clearly!"

At this time, Chen Xingqiang endured the pain that his whole body was almost torn, and still explained to Skasu with a particularly clear thought. And at this moment, the blood in his body was splashed out in a way of "sweating like rain", soaking the ground into a deep red, it is obvious that he is now at the end of the crossbow!

"No??? Impossible! This ??? How dare you fool me like this, do you really think I'm a fool? How could those two adults be what you say???????

Hugh has to continue to talk nonsense, you guy, you should die!"

So, after a fleeting doubt, Skasu adjusted his emotions again and returned to the fight. At this moment, with an indignant look on his face, with an even more angry expression, he waved this string of "sword chains", and without hesitation, he slashed down at Chenxing's head.

"Yaris!"

Just as this blow was about to hit his forehead, Chenxing suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted a loud reprimand, and at the same time, he immediately pulled out the sharp sword that was inserted into the ground, followed the body that had lost his sense of balance, tilted slightly towards the rear for a short distance, and finally swung a sword with one hand with the help of the inertia that was about to fall.

Finally, with his tenacious willpower, he successfully blocked this blow again.

"Damn!

When Skasu's "sword chain" was successfully blocked, he immediately compressed the "sword chain" into a string. Then, as at the beginning, the "sword chain" was aimed at the heart, like a spear being thrown, and it stabbed at lightning speed!

"I ??? I finally ???

Finally parsed your moves, even though you've used modeling magic to enhance your weapons. However, the mode of your attack is a physical technique, or a sword technique!

They are clearly classified as the type of [Martial Arts], and if you analyze them this way, it will not be difficult to crack your moves!"

At this moment, although Chenxing's injuries were too severe, he had lost too much blood, and his consciousness had gradually begun to blur, but it was precisely because of this that his senses had also become sharper.

Therefore, whether it is Skasu's language, demeanor, movements, or the speed of running, in Chenxing's eyes, they have all begun to slow down gradually. Naturally, the attack trajectory of his "Sword Chain" was also clearer than usual, almost in "slow motion", presented in front of Chenxing??????

[Memories]:

Suddenly, in his mind, the figure of a young man about twenty years old flashed, who was on a small island with cherry blossoms, teaching himself the skills of combat, and patiently telling him:

"Chenxing, you have to understand that whether it is martial arts or bizarre superpowers (magic), every seemingly powerful combat [skill] has certain shortcomings in its theory. Even its outward performance seems incomparable.

Internally, however, there are bound to be flaws that can turn the tide of the war.

Whether it's martial arts, superpowers, or magic, the more powerful it is, the greater the cost! At the same time, the longer the energy needs to be stored in order to prepare for this skill! And the shorter the time it can last.

In the [Law of Burning Mana], the amount of magic power is clear, but there is a [proportional] relationship with the human will to fight, that is, in the process of fighting, the higher your willpower, the more magic power you burn, in a short period of time, it will be greatly improved!

In other words, because of the violent mood swings, the cosmic energy (potential) contained in the soul is stimulated.

But, in addition to this, the Law of Conservation of Energy also exists!

No kind of magic, superpower, or martial art can provide your body with additional tremendous energy in a short period of time. At most, it can only be guided by magic (martial arts) to help you maximize the power accumulated in the "current stage"!

Speaking of which, you may not know that no one, or any living object, except for a few robots, will not be able to burst out all the energy stored in their bodies, not even "one joule", without reservation!

For example, a person who dies of starvation, even if he is starved to the point of skin and bones, still retains a small part of the flesh, fat, skin, bones, and a large amount of blood. As long as there is a physiological structure of matter, there will inevitably be excess energy, which can be left behind after the death of the organism!

It's just that this small amount of energy is completely insufficient to maintain the operation of its "physiological mechanism".

Therefore, for a magician, no matter what kind of powerful magic he uses, it is impossible to completely release all the magic stored in his body in one breath!

Even after unleashing the earth-shattering ultimate, the magician became panting and shushing, and even fainted immediately and fell unconscious, until finally, because the magic power was exhausted, collapsed and died, then, before he died, he still had a small amount of magic power, which remained in his body.

Therefore, not only theoretically, but also practically, the upper limit of the power of any powerful magic (martial art) must be infinitely close to self-detonation! Because only self-detonation in the true sense can release all the energy stored in the body in one breath in the current state!

Magic, superpowers, and martial arts only help the user to develop the maximum [potential] at this stage!

This is a very important point, this is the misunderstanding of many people, they mistakenly believe that as long as they learn a kind of [super magic], they can obtain a huge amount of energy enough to [match] this magic in an instant.

However, this is obviously unscientific, and it is impossible to achieve it at all! If you don't harness the magic of this [super magic], even if you learn theoretical knowledge, it will be impossible to use it at all! It's like having the theoretical knowledge to develop bombs on your own, but you don't have enough gunpowder, and it's still equivalent to [zero]!

In the final analysis, so-called magic is nothing but a technology, and technology itself does not provide you with any energy, on the contrary, it must rely on energy! Because energy, that is, the amount of magic power, is directly related to the power of magic.

And if you want to "increase" your mana out of thin air, you can only follow the [Law of Mana Combustion], improve your fighting willpower, and burn your [heart] and [soul].

Only by doing so can we achieve a qualitative leap like the [Expanding Power] that opens up the universe, [from scratch]!

Of course, if the kind of magic it is studying is a [ready-made] that has already accumulated a large amount of magical energy.

Then, in this case, you only need to be like the command center that has obtained the [Missile Launch Button], and you don't need any magic power of your own, you only need to have the basic strength to activate this [Button], and you can release a huge amount of energy and take the opportunity to destroy the enemy!

However, this kind of [ready-made] magic is no longer the traditional magic used in [Individual Combat], but something similar to [Magic Guided Weapon].

It is a [strategic magic] that has been developed by [magical researchers] a long time ago! The vast majority of them are [mass destruction] weapons used between countries and even between continents.

Therefore, this is considered the core technology of the wizarding world. So, you shouldn't meet it on your journey to the "Dioros Continent".

After all, in the early stages of your training, no one would use a [Magic Weapon] to attack a miscellaneous soldier like you, and if there is, the price would be too high!

Chenxing: "Teacher, then, according to what you said, since magic, superpowers, and martial arts, they are all secondary, and the most important thing is the total amount of mana. Why, then, does everyone in this world have to learn magic universally?

As far as I know, on the continent of Ionos alone, there are countless magic (martial arts) schools, large and small. So, what's the point of their existence?"

At this moment, Chenxing showed a suspicion on his face and asked puzzledly.

"Well, there are two main reasons for this:

First, under the same magic value, people who use martial arts, superpowers, and magic can cause more "physical destruction" than people who completely rely on their own [energy output], because their [efficiency] of energy output is different!

Here's a simple example:

It's like a cylindrical steel pipe weighing up to 10 kilograms, and if you use this weapon to attack the enemy, the damage dealt will be [Shield Strike] damage. If it is not an accidental blow to the head, but other parts, it is difficult to beat the enemy alive, even if it is hit with dozens of sticks.

However, if the 10-kilogram steel pipe is polished, forged, and re-cast into a 10-kilogram sword, then the damage it causes is [Sharp Strike] damage! Therefore, whether it is a slash or a stab, it can kill the enemy with one blow.

This is also the underworld gang, when there is a fight, ten people with steel pipes, but afraid of one person with a machete, the reason is exactly the same.

The steel pipe, and the sword, have the same total mass. However, because of the [change of physical form], the pressure is increased, resulting in their lethality, which is completely different.

In addition, two steel pipes weighing up to ten kilograms were also forged into two swords of the same quality, and the appearance and shape of the two swords were exactly the same. Moreover, under the same "strength", the "kinetic energy" and "pressure" of both of them are almost the same.

However, under the careful melting of the alchemist, the carbon content of one of the swords was greater than 0.0218% and less than 2.11%, while the carbon content of the other sword remained below 0.0218%.

Then, the former is "steel" and the latter is "iron". Compared with "iron", there is a fundamental gap between "steel" and "iron" in the field of chemistry.

The internal structure of "steel" and the properties of the material have all undergone "qualitative changes"! Therefore, it has some special properties that "pig iron" in the traditional sense does not have.

For example: high hardness, high wear resistance, high toughness, corrosion resistance, etc.

Therefore, even if two sharp swords have the same mass, in the process of colliding with each other, the final break must be a "pig iron" sword that has not been strengthened!

Therefore, this is by [changing the chemical properties] to strengthen the internal structure and performance, so as to increase the destructive power of the weapon with the same mass!

Therefore, the [mana] possessed by a person who cultivates magic power is an irreplaceable foundation just like the mass (weight) of the metal used to forge weapons. With its huge mass (weight), the destructive power of the "kinetic energy" generated by it is the most important.

However, just like the examples I gave above, the use of magic power can also be greatly enhanced by changing the [Physical Form] and [Chemical Properties]!

Under the same [mana value], people who can use magic (martial arts) have a gap in actual combat compared to people who rely entirely on pure [energy output], and this gap often leads to fatality.

By the way, I still have to be a little more verbose on this point, if you use magic (martial arts) and give full play to the advantages of [physical form] and [chemical form] of magic power. Then, even if the [Mana] you have is weaker than your opponent, you can still defeat your opponent.

Let's repeat the example above:

In fact, to defeat a ten-kilogram "pig iron" sword, you do not need a "steel" sword of the same mass as it.

In a field that only changes the [chemical properties], it may be possible to cut through an inferior "pig iron" sword with a mass of ten kilograms with only a high-quality "steel sword" with a mass of five kilograms.

However, in a field that only changes the [physical form], even a dagger made with a mass of only 500 grams can have a lethality, or deterrent power, that is better than a steel pipe of ten kilograms.

So, that's the first advantage that magic (martial arts) has.
