Chapter 235: Magic Void
Naren's figure quickly blurred in the night, and at first he could guess the position of the eagle by the starlight, but after a few breaths, it was already mixed up and it was difficult to tell the difference. Whether it can fly safely in the dark is not something that Cheese needs to worry about, because it is not the creature that Batu raised since childhood that actually controls the body of the goshawk named Naren. The Spirit of the Eagle, this is not the first time that Cheese has been aware of the presence of this deity, and it is not even the first time he has dealt with it. It's no wonder that, as a regulator overlooking the land, the Eagle Spirit is indeed one of the most frequent deities.
Seeing the disappearance of the eagle's figure, the gray robe who had lost his gray robe was relieved, and the whole person fell to one side, but fortunately, before he fell to the ground, Lothar had already rushed up to catch him. And the fall of Cheese from the horse means that the horse that has just attracted all the attention has turned back into bones and fallen back to the ground. Things seem to be settled like that, really?
"Protect him!" the Count shouted, and the other three members of the squad immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to their side, forming a triangle to guard the surrounding enemies. Yes, my enemies, the grotesque and wicked creatures that had followed Aleiè had not been scattered by the calamity, but they were still here, watching a few people in the darkness. And as Cheese's spirit weakened, the nine demons who should have stood in the way seized the opportunity, and they did not hesitate to flee the battlefield, wanting to freely enjoy the horrors of violence in this vast world.
Unfortunately, the wishes of the demons are not within the consideration of their summoners, they have already been paid for themselves, and they cannot get any more. The mage, who had fallen in the Count's arms, stretched out his arm to the fleeing figures and pointed his index finger to the ground, "Give it back." β
In an instant, the nine tall demons turned into black pus with reluctance and resentment, and went down the tiny cracks in the ground to the underground abyss that no one wanted to go to, that is, where they came from. For most spellcasters, the return of the demon also requires a ritual that matches the specifications of the summoning, and forcing it away by simple and crude means such as cheese often leaves sequelae. But that's not something to worry about for a while, compared to the trouble later, the immediate problem makes the gray robe have no time to take care of him, and he can't let the demon slip away.
After forcibly returning the demon, Cheese had to pay for a series of actions, whether it was the possession of a god possessed by a corpse or the dispersal of a demon that did not conform to the norms, all of which were enough to make any spellcaster miserable. Not to mention that the current mage has no gray robes, and he has no way to alleviate or transfer his pain.
"Hey, are you burning?" Lothar only felt as if he was holding a piece of red-hot iron, and his body instinctively made him push the things in his arms out, but the knight's self-discipline allowed him to suppress his instincts, but the burning pain still made him gasp. In the Earl's opinion, there were no strange changes on the surface of Cheese's body, no lines emerging, no overflowing magic light, he was like an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a very, very high body temperature. And in this high temperature, Rao is gray-robed mage was unable to answer his companion's questions, his consciousness was almost blurred...
"Next, we are going to explain, no, it should be said that it is to inform you, it is the terminal illness of the spellcaster. I call it the Magic Hollow. In a trance, Cheese returned to the gray stone brick classroom, and the Lord of the Gray Tower in the center of the classroom was teaching in a somewhat contemptuous tone, "The reason why it is said to be hollow is because once this symptom appears, it will completely disrupt the magic cycle in our body, to metaphorically say, it is like making a hole in your artery, and the magic is the blood that spurts." And the reason why I say it's a terminal illness of the spellcaster is because those ordinary people who can't perceive magic power have nothing to do with magic power, and their lives are in a state of chaos, living in a state of confusion and dying in a confusion. I don't know why they are born, they don't care what they live for, so their lives will not disappear because of the certainty of their inner magic, and the proportion of magic in their lives is very small, so it is not fatal to lose, and they cannot even absorb it from the outside. β
"But we're different. Magic has become a part of the inner cycle of all casters in the training of the day after tomorrow, it is with our spirit, with our consciousness, its cycle is invisible and imperceptible, but it is integrated into every moment of thinking and walking, sitting and lying. For the caster, the growth and decline of mana will affect all aspects, body, mental, when the magic is full, our flesh will become more powerful, on the contrary, the emptiness of the magic in the body will make it difficult for us to even move. Magic is like our second set of blood vessels, with another kind of nourishment surging in them. β
"Just like the blood vessels that carry our red blood, the invisible magic pipes can have problems, breaks, and blockages, and some of you have already encountered them, and those of you who don't will encounter them sooner or later. They can happen at any time, such as when a spell is overcast, meditation is violently interrupted, or when magic is triggered by something outside the world. You must learn how to control your magic in these situations and not let it get out of hand. Of course, a trained caster's own mana cycle is very stable, and in either case, with a little adjustment and careful cultivation, the situation will improve. β
"That's the terrible thing about the magic hollow I'm talking about. While I don't think explaining to you about a terminal illness will help you in the future, it will at least give you an idea of what you've done after you've been stupid and sent yourself to your death. Listen, there is a limit to the circulation of magic in the caster's body, and you should be aware of this, with the same level of spells, some people can release them three times a day and still be calm, and some people will get dizzy after only one time. This is only the most superficial difference, and the most inconsequential difference, the so-called caster must understand not only magic, but also the things that are the carriers of magic, including ourselves. Spells are just tools, and warriors adjust their weapons based on height and reach, and so do we. Asking everyone to learn the same thing to achieve the same effect is not training, it is manufacturing, and the purpose and lifespan of the things that are made are fixed, and there is no future. β
"And a fool who can't cast a spell according to his own situation is even more useless than something that has been made. Magic hollowness means that the caster has irreversibly damaged the magic cycle in his body for various reasons, and all the magic power flows out of the broken place, which will accumulate in the flesh and produce high temperatures. Their temperature will get higher and higher until their internal organs and brains are cooked! This situation is irreparable, the magic hole will kill the caster himself in a very short time, and since the magic cycle is invisible and undetectable, outsiders are even more unable to save it, causing the magic hole to die. β
Is there no life? Cheese's consciousness quickly dissipated, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is something I didn't expect. In a duel with the demon lord, he was prepared to die, and as a result, his body did not appear abnormal after the magic power was exhausted. Fighting with his peers, he was furious and ignored it, and even continued to participate in the battle in front of him when he returned. Ah, is it because it consumed too much before? As a result, it was forced to become a medium for the gods to descend, so the magic cycle finally couldn't hold on. It makes sense...
