Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King



Wolfe paused his reading at that point. Lightning was one of his strongest Elements, and he used it a lot, but if he advanced it any further, to the level of Adept, it seemed that he would be neutering his advancement with other Elements at the same time.

Perhaps they could still make it to high affinity, but until he made Rank Six and picked another to study, they would never make it to the level that Lightning and Unholy Magic had.

Unholy Magic mostly created a warping effect when it was used in conjunction with the caster's senses, or with other Elements, like when creating Unholy Fire. Used that way, it was extremely destructive in a way that no natural element of this world could be.

Lightning Magic was almost entirely destructive in nature, though it could be used for various other things, like basic electricity and stimulating the nerves of the body. Many of the body enhancement abilities were also Lightning-based, as they convinced the body to work and change in new ways using its own innate energy flows.

Perhaps there was more to Lightning than what Wolfe had realized, but it seemed that Air Magic was the more versatile Element. Fire also had its upside, as it could generate both exothermic and endothermic reactions, which would suck the heat out of an area. It wouldn't create ice like water magic, but if you put water in the area, it would freeze.

That made it somewhat useful for daily life spells, so Wolfe was torn on whether he should advance Lightning right away.

At Rank Four, he could already pick an Element to become adept in, so it wasn't a distant prospect but something he could do today. In theory, he would get two more chances to have an Adept or higher level of skill with an Element, at Rank Six and Rank Nine, if he should ever join the ranks of the legendary Magi Kings.

But peaceful domestic living wouldn't always be his life, would it? Most of the witches still hated Magi with a passion, and even the ones that lived with him preferred to think of him as a Demon instead.

Eventually, it would come down to a fight. Who it would be against, the Witches, Humans or the Monsters, was another question, but fighting was an inevitable part of his future.

So, a second type of attack magic which would help him control and enhance his body, was a good start on the path that he was going to have to tread.

With that in mind, Wolfe channelled mana into the crystal again and took up where he left off.

Just as it had when he had advanced with Unholy Magic, the knowledge hit him like an epiphany, and the truth of Lightning Magic, narrated by the Saint, entered his mind.

Bioelectricity, combined with advanced knowledge of the sorts that Wolfe had only ever heard of in science fiction movies about human nations, could work miracles to change a body. He didn't fully understand the concepts, and the years of learning about biology weren't included in the revelation about Lightning, but much of how to use it on yourself was.

The primary use was longevity. Now that he understood Lightning better, using it to stop the aging of his body would be a simple matter. Just as the Lumix Family assistant spell had said, a powerful Magi looks exactly as he intends to.

It was better than any disguise spell he had heard of. He could wrinkle and age his skin alone, then grow a long white beard for a wizardly look, only to revert himself to the appearance of early adulthood in the afternoon. He would always look like himself, but the best version of himself.

But that wasn't even the basics of the truth of Lightning. It was energy and the transfer of it. Lightning could move incredibly fast and pass through many substances with little resistance.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

But it could also be held and formed. That wasn't really a new concept, as Wolfe knew about Lightning barriers, but at the Adept Level, he didn't need an inscription to raise a [Lightning Shell]. He just had to use mana to manipulate the energy in an area.

There was more. The Lightning Magic could be used not just to attack but to Nullify. The instability of the excess energy would break apart spells and render them nothing more than scattered Mana.

That would come in exceptionally useful to him.

Wolfe allowed the new knowledge to become part of him and truly sink into his body. He could feel the change as if the two Adept Rank compatibilities had somehow filled his mind, leaving little room for more knowledge.

That must be what the Saint was talking about, it was a limitation of his mind, and he couldn't overcome it until he had advanced far enough that he was capable of handling more of the truth of the Universe.

The knowledge of Lightning and Unholy Magic met within his mind and began to merge at the edges, showing where the two of them overlapped. There wasn't too much in common, but the Underworld did have lightning of its own, and the differences in that world's lightning, which was warped by the different rules of the realms, slowly came to light in Wolfe's mind.

[Nether Lightning] was the equivalent of [Unholy Fire], and the damage that it caused was enough to make even Wolfe wonder if it was ethical to use.

The Underworld was a world of souls, so the Lightning of that world was spiritual in nature. So, where [Unholy Fire] burned incessantly and ignored water's attempts to quench it, [Nether Lightning] fried the very soul of the target, causing spiritual damage that could leave them vegetative even after the body had healed.

But if you ignored that questionable application of the two Elements together, it was a very positive advancement, and the number of new Lightning spells that he could learn was incredible.

The first one that came to mind, inspired by recent events, was the thought of electromagnetism. He would have to find their lovely new engineer and explain the concept he had thought up to her. Pulsed Electromagnetism would use much less energy than Air Magic or even straight Electricity to drive an electric motor attached to the propellers of her airplane concept.

He could make the arrays on the motor, and then the speed of their rotation could be controlled easily by the user if they could manipulate mana. It would let a much less powerful user fly the airplane and cut down on the number of Mana Crystals that it needed to carry, which would open more space for cargo.

With just a little tweak, he really might get an airplane for the Den.

There was only one little problem. None of them actually knew how to fly an airplane, even if the Engineer had a good grasp of the controls. They would have to add a LOT of protective spells to the experimental version.

That was workable, though. The witches knew plenty of defensive magic already, and Wolfe could add a nice [Gravity Array] to stop it from hitting the ground at speed. That would go a long way to ensuring the safety of the product testers.
