Chapter 102: Spiritual Magic

  Spirit-type magic is somewhat different from ordinary elemental magic. The process of releasing ordinary magic involves gathering elements, guiding them, and then releasing the power of the magic. In contrast, spirit-type magic uses magic to create vibrations in the spirits of living beings, controlling and guiding these vibrations to produce a shock effect on the target's spirit, thereby causing harm to the target.

  Almost every magician knows that the spirit is an important link in guiding the operation of magic. The higher the spiritual power of the magician, the greater the power of the magic released, and the more frequent the releases. If the spiritual power is consumed excessively, it will cause magical backlash, endangering the magician's life. Spirit-type magic takes advantage of this hazard to attack targets spiritually, producing an effect similar to magical backlash.

  "The higher a magician's spiritual power, the easier it is for them to learn spiritual magic, and the better the effect of the mental shock caused. However, by the same token, if a magician with high spiritual power is attacked by spiritual magic, they will suffer greater damage. In fact, if spiritual magic is applied to an ordinary person, at most it will only cause them to feel like their head is splitting and see various illusions, but it won't cause any lasting harm. However, if a magician with high spiritual power is successfully attacked by spiritual magic, there's a good chance that an instantaneous energy explosion will occur within their body. The worst-case scenario is that everything within a 10-meter radius of the magician will be affected by the blast. This kind of explosion can almost destroy anything. A magician's magical shield is useless against this kind of energy explosion." That's what Losa told me before teaching me spiritual magic.

  "Since spiritual magic is so powerful, why don't we hear about people using it often? Moreover, most magicians on the continent still use elemental magic, and I haven't heard of many people studying this type of magic either..." I asked with some confusion.

  "Of course, there is a reason for this. One reason is that spiritual magic causes too much harm to the magician, and it was already banned by the Magician's Guild as a forbidden art long ago. The spiritual magic that has been passed down now is mostly taught in private, and no one dares to use it in public. Until this year, because spiritual magic has almost been lost, no one mentions the ban on its use again.

  Another reason is that spiritual magic is not only not suitable for magicians below high-level, but also, if not mastered properly, it can easily cause the caster's mind to become disordered and turn into a madman. This kind of harm is irreversible, once you are affected, you will never be able to return to normal." Losa said.

  I nodded and said: "So that's how it is, why are you willing to teach me such magic?"

  Luo Sa laughed when he heard my words, stroking his snow-white beard in front of his chest. "Your spiritual power is very strong," he said. "It's not easy to find a high-level magician like you on the entire Azure Continent. Moreover, spiritual magic can cause great harm to dragon-type creatures because they have strong spiritual powers, but after all, they are inferior to human wisdom, so they are easily affected and harmed by spiritual magic. If you go to the grasslands again and learn thunder magic from the beastman shaman, you will have more than a 50% chance of defeating the giant dragon."

  It has come to this, and I can only accept it gladly. Learning spiritual magic is actually not that difficult. Once you understand the principles, just follow the requirements and do it. In less than three months, I have already mastered the basics of this system of magic, what's lacking is just repeated practice.

  When I finally mastered the magic, I realized that spiritual system magic is not just an attacking magic. Spiritual system magic can also be used to do many things, such as communicating with non-human creatures. It's like talking in my heart, and after understanding this function, my world suddenly expanded. I can easily understand the communication between animals, the flying eagles in the sky can tell me everything they see, even those wild beasts are no longer a nuisance but friends. I can easily communicate with other creatures, and the whole nature has become my eyes and ears. All of this is too magical.

  Coming out of Losa, the feeling of being watched from behind appeared again. These eyes have been staring at me since I arrived in Larsson. Although I can feel that these eyes are not malicious, the feeling of being monitored is very uncomfortable. Today, I must see who this person is who is monitoring me.

  I quietly and slowly walked towards Tissen's house, those eyes keeping a distance from me all the time, not too close or too far, not exposing my tracks, nor losing sight of me.

  The mouse by the road had already told me about this person's location, those ubiquitous creatures always appear in dark corners, even a floating city like Larsson wouldn't be without their presence.

  I suddenly turned around at a corner and released a mental shock into an inconspicuous shadow, the power wasn't too great, but enough to stun the person monitoring me.

  I walked towards there with an evil smile, and indeed, a person dressed as an assassin in all black clothes was lying unconscious there.

  You're still following me, you know how formidable I am now, huh? Dare to follow me?

  But as I walked closer, I was stunned. The assassin's body on the ground was taller than average, but it was clear that she was a girl, especially in her tight-fitting clothes, which outlined her curves perfectly and clearly. It didn't take much thought to determine that this was a female assassin? This piqued my interest in the face under the mask.

  I gently lifted the veil off the assassin's face and saw a familiar face, this girl with eyebrows and eyes very similar to Evan's, especially those eyes, even closed I wouldn't forget, the whole face was perfect and flawless, carved jade. Suddenly I remembered the girl who told me her story in the tomb of Nantes that day, Evan's sister, the girl who was proud of her beauty but yearned for the life of an assassin.

  "What's wrong with Xī Lù? She came running over and stared at me, what does she want?" I said in confusion.

  I didn't have time to think much, I put Xi Lu on my shoulder, that soft and fluffy body made me feel dizzy for a moment, a rush of blood in my head almost spurted out from my nose, the faint scent on her body also made me feel like I was drunk. I shook my head hard, trying to clear my mind. As I struggled to walk towards Tissen's house, I muttered to myself: "Eat less or you'll die, getting so fat is deadly..."
