SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Wu Jie was both terrified and exhilarated to be in direct conversation with a Transcendent.

Even the God King, guardian of his people, was not accessible to just anyone.

There was a hierarchy to be followed, and while he was very liberal with everyone, the God King was someone whose greatness could not be taken for granted.

As a result, only those who had achieved great things could seek his audience freely.

That was why everyone strived to do so well!

“D-definitely, great one!” Wu Jie bowed in response to the blond transcendent, and also gave the same level of regard to the rest who stood behind him.

There was one major issue, though.

‘We are exhausted from our earlier fight, and the journey is quite tasking. Even in top form, it will take us six hours to make it make it to our destination.’

But how could he give a Transcendent one such an excuse? To refuse the will of the divine ones was suicide.

“Ah, I see. You’re all exhausted, aren’t you? Hmmm… I understand. It’s late at night as well. I understand.”

‘H-huh?! He knew??’ To think Transcendental beings could even peer into the minds of mortals… their power truly was great.

Wu Jie developed even more fear and trembling towards the ones he faced, as well as greater respect for the God King whom he served.

“I can transport everyone to your residence. I can sense a population of humans nearby. I assume that’s your settlement.”

‘Nearby? He can sense our people even at such a distance? Such is the might of a Transcendent one!’

Eyes that could see beyond the limits of mortals, and ears that could hear from thousands of miles away; those who had these powers could be nothing short of divine.

But there was one more word that Wu Jie didn’t quite understand.

“T-transport us?”

“Yes. Using Spatial Magic. Don’t worry, it’ll be instantaneous.”

Wu Jie could not believe his ears. His eyes bulged as the man spoke.

“M-Magic…?”

“Yes. I’m sure you all miss your friends and family. I can take you to see them this instant.”

That definitely made sense. With divine powers there really wasn’t any limit.

‘The God King already informed us of this <Magic>. It is inferior to Martial Arts, but it is still useful for certain things…’

Because Martial Arts was superior to Magic, the God King used Martial Arts. He didn’t bother with the inferior craft of Magic, thus in the eyes of everyone—including Wu Jie—Magic wasn’t considered worthwhile.

‘This Transcendent one must be inferior to the God King. He uses Magic, not Martial Art.’

That realization somewhat made Wu Jie’s heart flutter with satisfaction.

His deity and king was indeed superior to these divine entities.

“We concede. Please use your Magic, divine ones.” Wu Jie smiled, gathering his people together.

They all ignored the flickering campfire in the backdrop, and they now submitted to the power they would soon witness.

Wu Jie watched the Transcendental being discuss something with his companions, and they freely uttered the Divine Language.

He heard the words “Edward” and “Home World” from them, words that the God King often uttered.

It made him certain that they were certainly related to him.

‘Perhaps they are his subordinates in the realm of the transcendent ones.’

His mind could probably not comprehend it, so he simply went along with the mood.

“Alright, everyone. Let’s go.”

In a sudden flash, a gaint blue circle manifested and encapsulated everyone in that area.

“E-ehhh!” Wu Jie shrieked in surprise, and his comrades also let out similar noises.

Their eyes widened in shock as they experienced something they had never witnessed in their lives.

The world around them seemed to blur, and the air itself seemed to contort.

‘T-this is—!’ Wu Jie couldn’t explain it.

There was nothing in his vocabulary he could use to explain exactly what was happening.

It was simply astounding!

‘So this… is Magic!’

Magic was so beautiful and amazing, yet it was inferior to Martial Arts. Wu Jie thought of that as a stark representation of hoe awesomeness the latter was.

‘The God King’s divine power… is truly the greatest!’

*********

I teleported everyone to their settlement, and it was just as I sensed prior to using [The Tower].

It was a primitive city, albeit quite large. It had thousands of homes, and I counted the number of living humans to be at exactly 14,678.

‘I don’t sense any other humanoid beings around. This seems to be all the humans in this planet.’

If I used that as my standard, then the humans in this world were quite few.

The houses were mostly made of stone, and they had a moderate size of livestock and plants in the few farms I observed.

So far, it wasn’t something particularly interesting, but it was better than I initially expected.

“The God King carved out these sturdy stone houses for us. He showed us how to make them too, and while it takes us a long while to make one, he could do it in a flash!” The man called Wu Jie told me, his eyes gushing of adoration for this ‘God King’ everyone loved and revered.

He gushed on about how the God King helped them make good clothes from animal skin, and how the tall, but pathetically constructed fence that surrounded the city was also the work of the God King.

‘It seems they were more primitive than this, but the God King sped up the process of civilization a lot more.’

From flimsy tents and thatched huts to sturdy stone buildings. That was progress.

They were previously nomadic too, but thanks to the protection and security the God King offered, they settled in a single location, investing in agriculture and stable livestock rearing.

Food and water supplies were stable thanks to the well the God King made for them, and the farm he constructed for them.

The people knew how to hunt already, but thanks to the newly improved stone weapons—like longblades, knives, and daggers—their work became much easier.

Then there was the method of processing food, preserving food, and even preparing meals.

‘Edward lived in the wild for some time, so I guess he must have picked up a lot of survival tactics.’

Plus, with his mind already used to the wonders of technology, he would have been better able to see certain things and improve them—unlike these people.

As a result, their lives became drastically better, and as for the one they called the God King… he became their deity and ruler.

‘I’m surprised, though. Of all the people that could be leaders… Edward? Really?’

Among primitive people, who would worship strength above anything else, I was sure he fit the bill perfectly.

‘I suppose it makes sense now that I think about it…’

Still, despite looking around and taking in everything in my vicinity, there was one question I couldn’t answer.

“Where is he? Where is Edward?”
