บท 29: Laws

Seriously why does that kind of thing happen to me every time?

I was thinking already beforehand, when will this title of mine bring another bolt out of the blue for me? And it's executing now.

[ Hey, Gnosis, what can I do about this thing? Is there any possibility I can solve it without having the same mana stone from that beast?]

< Negative after analysing this formation, it is known that for it to start, it needs the mana stone from the beast that the master slew. But the master's body already dissolved the mana stone from the first-rank beast; the stone also cannot be replaced by another mana stone of the same grade in this magic structure because of the differences in mana variant and mana wavelength. The formation is also impossible to breach. Analyzing and finding the loopholes in the formation is still going on. Master has been advised to wait. >

'Wait huh'

Different from Gnosis, which is analysing this magic formation or structure whatever, I started my own brainstorming on all the possible situations mentioned in the novel, but not to my surprise I did not find anything that could help me solve my current predicament.

But like a light bulb switch on inside my skull, an idea comes into my head, I got a jugaadu (makeshift) hypothesis, and for finding out its workability, I shared it with Gnosis.

[ Gnosis, did you analyse the data of that stone's mana variant and mana wavelength? ]

< affirmative. All the data about first rank beast mana stone is already stored. >

[ So look what we are going do is create a doppelganger power source, I have a pure Mana heart, which is capable of turning Mana into any variant according to the novel, and if I am not wrong, then while getting the information about Mana Heart from the archives, you must have also received the technique that can change the variety of mana and also the mana wavelength. ]

< Affirmative it is possible.>

[ So do it faster ]

< But the master's body will go through extreme pain while completing this process, and it is not possible to maintain this procedure and minimise the feeling of that pain at the same time >

[ So it's going to be similar to when you could not reduce my pain during the fight between me and rank beast.]

< Affirmative >

[ Just do it ]

Taking a deep breath and saying this to Gnosis, I placed my hand on the wand-type structure in the middle of the altar and prepared myself for the pain to come.

A blue light starts to glow on my palm of the hand which turns into a red shine sometime later.

My teeth were pressing my lips so hard which led to blood coming out of them, which led to my mouth opening, which led to the whole surrounding filled with the sound of screaming—a perfect chain reaction.

`Ahhhhhhhhhhhh`

Does anyone know what it feels to squeeze like juice inside the jar of a juicer? Today I found out. it just feels like something that you never want to feel yourself. but what does it matter to you didn't they say that the misery of another always is laughable?

`Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh`

Let's leave this pointless misery scene you must have seen it many times, and I also do not believe all of you have psychopath tendencies and like to see people suffer. And talk about the mana variant and mana wavelength, about which I and gnosis are babbling.

In simple words, according to the novel, there are many types of magic energy in this world, like mana, aura, and spiritual energy. Every type of magical energy has its own particular speciality but even among all of them, it is believed that Mana is the most versatile.

Mana variant is the attribute of the mana particle in which it manifests in nature. Many types of Mana variants are mentioned in the novel, but the most known are water, wind, fire, and earth.

Mana wavelength is similar to the fingerprint of humans. Every being who can use mana has a unique mana wavelength of its own.

After one or two minutes of unexplained pain, my senses again come completely under my control, and I stop talking to imaginary people like mentally ill person.

The altar inside the great hall which now flows the same mana as the mana inside the beast mana stone from that wand-type structure began to glow like the colours of a rainbow, and that shine spread over the entire great hall and its walls through the lines drawn on the altar.

< Affirmative Task Completed The magic formation is functional now. >

Although I could hear gnosis's voice in my head, I was completely focused on the altar, which had become so dazzling that an unawakened person would lose his eyes if he gazed at it.

I kept my gaze fixed on the altar at all times, but despite this, I found it impossible to follow the apparition of the ethereal creature that emerged from the altar and materialised in front of me.

Although her height is normal, the wings that are beginning to spread from her back make it impossible to classify her as a human. However, I doubt any human male will make this statement to this woman with black hair and bright yellow eyes on her front due to her excessively attractive face.

An esprit, it is what they are called in the novel. Born from nature, they are incarnations of nature in the form of living things.

A flick of her wing led her to me, and our noses remained at a distance of one finger from each other. putting the fist of her soft hands on her chin, she moves her lips.

"So are you the one who cleared those trials and woke me up?"

She asks me with an innocent smile similar to that of a child on her face, her facial expressions seem to make others believe that she is the happiest individual in the world.

Nodding my head, I activate my sensitive nose, which in some cases lets me know people's emotions, but as I was expecting, I didn't get any kind of hostile scent.

"So is killing that rank beast was a task that made me eligible to enter these ruins." I gave her answer in a questioning way of my own, while she, without even flapping her wings, is circling me like a child in the air.

Suddenly, stopping at one place in the air, she started jumping there while placing her clenched fists on her two very very big boobes... Cough, cough, "Yes, yes, those were the trials that you have already passed," she said to me.

folding my hands on the chest."Hey, I didn't even enter into those trials of my own volition; that beast just suddenly attacked me out of nowhere. Isn't it going to be counted as your fault?" I said this to her with a poker face on my face.

She stops jumping at her place in the air and catches a glimpse of me. Her facial expressions start changing to surprise because of the victim card that I played to get the most reward out of her. "Ah, ah, maybe it's because of your bad luck." Before saying this, her mouth opened and closed twice with surprise, and in no time her face full of surprise became similar to the crying face of an infant. "And yes, if this is true, then because of the 'law of Libra', your reward also increased, didn't it work out well for you?"

'law of Libra' huh

As her wording implies, she is talking about the laws here, which are similar to those found in my ex-world like Newton's laws of motion, the law of thermodynamics, and others. This world also has its own magic law, or at least that is what is written in the novel. No one knows who gave them, but everyone just believes it, and all of them have also been proven. well, doesn't matter too much to me.

My army training officer had a famous slogan of his own, like some gym trainers have: 'Break your bones and tear your flesh, because only by doing this will you be able to rise above everyone else'.

The law of Libra also works exactly like this slogan, the more risk you take, the more reward you will get.

On this planet, where even inanimate objects can be considered alive, every single movement of every living being is watched by this world itself, and yes, there is no personal information security policy.

So if someone puts their life at risk and executes some task, then that bears fruit according to that. This is how it was told in the novel.

Stopping the explanation of these laws that were going on in some corner of my mind, I asked her about the thing for which I had been wandering for so long.
