Novel Full Chapter 441 - Discovery ( 2 )
Miss Chamber and Miya were surprised after hearing the old doctor…
They have been looking for this secret for a while now and they couldn't even tell whether they are already reaching it.
However, his announcement tells them that he had discovered this secret just after chatting with the Cryptic Mages!
"Well… It's also because you guys did great in your research… I was able to narrow down that possible cause of this." Charles calmed down as he found a seat to relax.
"What do you mean? Tell us everything now!" The Headmaster demanded as she's extremely curious.
Miya just remained silent since they are both older than her. She wanted to just let them have their conversation while she listens.
She looked at the 10 Cryptic Mages and they don't seem to have received any kind of treatment from the famous doctor.
'I wonder what kind of trick are we missing…'
She couldn't wait to hear what the doctor is about to explain.
"Alright… Listen, I just reviewed the biggest difference between the Cryptic Link and Adept Link… We all know that the Cryptic Link Serum that is needed to trigger the transformation is made of special chemicals provided by Veda… We focused too much on finding the effects of these chemicals in their bodies and we missed something important."
Charles started to explain as he looked at the two ladies in front of him. The two didn't speak and waited for him to continue.
"Well, to make it short, the reason why they aren't receiving backlash whenever they use Forbidden Magic is because of the impurity of their Mana…"
After saying this, Chamber and Miya frowned and doubted his words.
They know that powerful spells require powerful mana to cast… It means that the higher the purity, the better… After all, high-quality mana can allow them to cast the spell with accuracy and it will also help the Mana Artifacts from gradually losing their durability.
Any Mana Practitioners would say that the purest mana is the best possible medium to use!
"I know this is very surprising… However, this is the reason why we can't find the secret. All of us are thinking the wrong way. There are pros and cons to having impure mana. Of course, there are a lot more disadvantages if we're going to make a list of them."
Miss Chamber went silent for a moment as she considered the possibility.
"Is it because forbidden magic is too dangerous that having impure mana is better to survive from it?" She asked in a low voice. She's unsure about this theory but this is the only thing he could think of as of the moment.
Miya nodded at this since she had the same thought.
She looked at Charles's confident expression and it seems that he was quite satisfied with Miss Chamber's guess.
"Well, you could say that… But to explain it clearly, it can be attributed to their control of impure mana… Apparently, whenever they release such Mana Spells, the Forbidden Magic would filter their mana and the impurities will take the backlash from them… Once they are removed, the magic that they cast will have the same effect as the Adept Mages. Haa~ This is why we are having a tough time finding the secret…"
"Ugh… That's true, it's difficult to discover this without letting them cast the spells… But how did you know of this when you guys are only chatting?"
Miss Chamber asked…
"Haha! It's just a perk of my Spirit Arts… Their body remembers their actions so I could take a look at it easily… If you want to learn this, I can give you two a lesson for free."
Charles joked at the two since he knows that they were both unfitted with the Spirit Arts… Though there are cases that a magician has an affinity to both Arts, these people can be counted by hand.
To prove that, within this Floating Island filled with talented people, only Charles is actually talented enough to learn the two paths…
Because of this discovery, they thought that it may be better to coordinate this with the best Arcane Artificers or Arcanists so they could create a Mana Artifact to help them…
There was no way for them to make their current high purity of Mana become impure, but their Mana Artifacts can perhaps act as a medium to take care of the backlash for them…
Now that they learned how the impure Mana helps, this should become easier for the Engineers to study and develop a magic structure to assist them.
"Alright, let's see how accurate this is…" Miss Chamber then decided to continue with their research.
Miya agreed as she couldn't wait to test Charles's theory about this…
They finalized their research by conducting a few more experiments. As soon as they confirmed everything, they quickly called for the Magic Engineer's assistance.
***
As the elite researchers in Floating Island discovered a way to help the magicians cast the Forbidden Mana Spells without any negative effects, the magicians in Dolu City started their desperate attempt to fight the huge Space Beast outside their walls!
Yumi is standing at the balcony of the Royal Castle… She was planning to help with the evacuation of the leaders of this country but it seems that she was already too late as they left the city using the underground tunnels.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The castle walls are barely standing on their ground as the Space Beast would slam their limbs or perhaps tentacles to the wall…
The Magicians were barely defending against it as they would cast whatever defensive magic they could cast…
Apparently, before the Space Beast managed to get closer, they already fired their multiple cannons, a couple of Forbidden Mana Spells, and even Wallace's enhanced Laser Focus was used…
However, none of it did damage to the Space Beast aside from halting its movement for a few seconds…
"Ugh… This is bad… This beast is desperate to attack us… Is it hungry?" Yumi muttered.
"Haa~ I think so… How can we survive this?"
Bryson, her subordinate in NMTI, heard her. He agreed with her about the Beast being hungry since their soldiers have encountered Space Beasts before, it was during their rescue missions in several places in the country...
As far as they know, bombarding them with powerful spells would annoy these creatures before they would move away.
However, it is no longer effective!
"We still have to wait for 37 mins… This is bad.." Yumi frowned as she waited for the time until Ace would arrive to help them.
