Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

This made Aisha stunned.

Wait, that's it? That simple?

Elsa raised her hand, and then a dazzling flash of light erupted - the flash was successfully activated, which stunned Tricia who was still "lecturing".

"...Elsa, have you learned it now?"

How long has it been? A few breaths?

Tricia was completely shocked.

Even she took several hours to get the hang of it, but how come Elsa mastered it in just a moment?

It turns out that Elsa is also a magical genius???

No, that's impossible, isn't it? It doesn't make sense, right? Even genius has its limits.

Could my explanation be so helpful? Was this really Elsa's first time encountering magic? No, she didn't have to lie to me, did she? — Tricia fell into deep self-doubt.

161. Magic Connection

Magic is undoubtedly a subject with a high threshold for entry. This threshold is not only reflected in the difficulty of studying it - for a swordsman, he can fight against wild beasts by relying on brute force and long-term training, but a magician cannot enhance his magical power simply through repetitive training.

It is a consensus among all magicians that one must have a mentor to learn magic. Learning magic is like finding the only path to light in the fog, and the role of a mentor is like a beacon - if there is no mentor to lead the beginner on the right path of magic, then no matter how hard the beginner works, it will be difficult to improve her magic level.

This is because the most important thing about magic is inheritance and the accumulation of background. Through the research of generations, it has been continuously improved and optimized, and finally formed into the current pattern - in other words, the magic system formed today is actually the rules summarized by the predecessors after countless trials and errors.

This is the only way.

For beginners, the process of stepping into the threshold of magic is the process of applying the magic theories of the predecessors to their own use, and the process of truly moving their thinking closer to that of a magician - this is the crucial first step, and starting from scratch is always the most difficult.

Countless beginners will spend a lot of time on this step, not to mention a few days, even more than ten days is possible.

Yet it only took Elsa a few seconds. How could Tricia not be surprised?

What's even more bizarre is that Tricia discovered that when Elsa cast her magic, she didn't actually go through the process of constructing the "keywords" - in simple terms, Elsa didn't have the process of chanting the magic. Obviously, this is very important for beginners, because chanting itself is a step to strengthen the "keywords" connection, and for those who are not familiar with magic, chanting itself is the key to stabilizing the magic formula.

However, Elsa skipped this step.

Tricia felt that the magic she had seen was dead.

"Tricia, skip 'fire'. I want to see some more advanced magic."

Aisha said, staring at the light in her palm.

Light and heat are very common forms of energy, but that doesn't mean they're inherently simple. The basic formulas for universal magic are similar in principle. Only by mastering the guidance and capture of magical energy can one use magic with greater skill. In the past, Tricia would have advised beginners to consolidate their basics before moving on to the next step, but with Elsa, she could only nod woodenly.

"Then...how about 'Fireball' and 'Lightning'? Also, things like 'Ice Cone', 'Concussion', and 'Illumination' are also elementary and advanced spells in the universal magic system."

"Can I see them all?"

Tricia constructed all the magic formulas, but soon she saw Elsa reproducing all the magic one by one. The frequent magic fluctuations made the people walking in front look back curiously, and they saw Tricia and Elsa discussing some basic magic enthusiastically, and everyone sighed in their hearts.

As expected of Lady Faris and Lord Sage, your attitude towards studying magic is admirable.

"You actually learned all of this... Aisha, you... are truly amazing."

This made Tricia's scalp tingle, but she was soon filled with immense excitement: if nothing unexpected happened, she would witness the birth of a miracle in her lifetime - oh no, it had already been born, but that didn't conflict.

"You taught me well, Tricia," Aisha smiled and was also very happy. "Thank you."

Tricia just gave a wry smile.

She didn't know how well she taught, but Aisha learned really fast.

"Elsa, do you have enough magic power?"

she asked again.

Generally speaking, the total amount of magic power of beginners is very limited, and it is already very difficult for them to cast a fireball, but it is obvious that Elsa is not common sense.

Elsa just nodded, and her own expression looked a little strange.

"That's enough..."

Because Elsa has been paying attention to the changes in her panel, the [magic value] changes when she casts magic.

The magic that consumes the most energy so far is "Shock", which is an attack magic that uses magic to cause an explosion. It can also be used to push away enemies around you. The advantage is that there is no magic conversion process so it can be activated quickly. The disadvantage is that it lacks the energy gain brought by magic conversion. The simple magic infusion greatly reduces its power.

One "shock" costs 21 magic points, which means that Elsa can only use "shock" once.

But Elsa discovered that after she launched the "shock", the [magic value] on the panel changed from 28→7→28. That is to say, the next moment after Elsa consumed the magic value, the magic value was fully restored. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that the magic value jumped. Then, Elsa can launch a shock again.

Simply put, as long as the magic value is sufficient, Elsa can activate it unlimited times.

This surprised even Elsa herself.

"I already master these magics. Is there any more?"

Tricia felt that Elsa's nonchalant tone really undermined her dignity as a great magician, but it didn't matter. Tricia didn't care about that. What she wanted to know more was where Elsa's limits were.

So she brought out more magic for Elsa to try.

Soon, Elsa discovered that 28 magic points was not her upper limit, because the next moment after she drained her magic power, it would be fully restored, but only 28 points were injected into the magic circle each time. If Elsa wanted to cast a magic of more than 40 points, she could use two 28s. Similarly, if two 28s were not enough, she could use three 28s to make up for it.

Until when Elsa tried to use ten 28 rubs to cast a lower-level intermediate magic "Sky Thunder", the magic circle suddenly trembled violently, and then suddenly agitated and shattered. Seeing that the magic circle was about to collapse and explode, Elsa simply bent her fingers and crushed the magic circle in the palm of her hand.

Tricia, who was standing by, also saw that the magic circle in Elsa's hand was unstable and broken.

"what happened?"

“It’s out of control.”

Aisha said, then briefly explained her situation to Tricia, without mentioning the existence of the panel.

Tricia nodded.

"So, the amount of magic you can control each time is still relatively small, so you need to rely on multiple injections of magic power to complete the advanced magic. However, there was a problem with the connection between the two processes, causing the magic chain within the magic circle to collapse, resulting in failure."

There is a gap between each of the 28s that Elsa can control, although it is very small, it does exist.

Magic is a continuous process, and the appearance of fractures will make its structure unstable. After all, Elsa is still a beginner, and she cannot find a balance point between the 28s that are broken again and again. So when Elsa wants to use many 28s to pile up a stronger magic, the accumulated unstable factors burst out at once.

"If that's the case... there's no good way to avoid it except through extensive training over a long period of time."

Tricia said.

But Elsa smiled and didn't care.

She is very content now.

But the one who was not satisfied was Tricia - she carefully examined the palm of Aisha's hand and had a bold idea in her heart.

"If I let Elsa's magic power be injected into my body, I don't know what will happen..."

……

162. Tricia, the Mystical Magician

Magic can do a lot of things if used properly, and for Tricia, magic is something as important as blood.

Therefore, the idea of ​​"injecting Elsa's magic into herself" only stayed in Tricia's mind for a short moment before being swept away. After all, magic is the foundation of a magician. No matter how curious she is, she can't do it casually. If she can't control herself, big problems will arise.

Not all magic power can be absorbed casually, let alone Elsa's magic power.

"Speaking of which...are there any other magic?"

Elsa looked like she wanted to learn more. Tricia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, there are, but most of the most common 'elemental' magic is already here. The only things left are holy light magic, nature magic, blood magic, undead magic, and dragon magic. Do you want to try it?"

"Ah."

Elsa nodded.

Naturally, she was willing to try these new magics - especially the Holy Light Magic.

For Elsa, who was already incredibly powerful, those fancy offensive magics weren't very useful. Instead, smaller magic like dirt and stain removal, quick drying, heating, and lighting were far more useful. Furthermore, holy light magic, which could protect, heal, and save others, was something Elsa lacked.

"In that case... then I'll start with the basics."

As she spoke, Tricia began to perform the ritual again. This time, the structure of the ritual was obviously different from the previous one. It wasn't that it became more complicated, but the structural basis and composition method were different.

"This is 'Blazing Flame' from Holy Light Magic. Although it's a relatively basic technique, it's nearly impossible to activate without Holy Light Magic aptitude. Don't be discouraged if you can't learn it. Similarly, nature magic is the magic of forest elves, and blood magic is the magic of vampires."

Most creatures in this world only possess one type of magical aptitude, perhaps elemental magic, holy light magic, or even soul magic. For example, Vivian is a user of elemental magic, while Inksa is a user of holy light magic. They cannot master and activate each other's spells. This is determined by the characteristics of life itself, and each race is different.

Of course, there are a few magics that are independent of this series of systems, such as the magic of the Age of Gods and the magic of the Abyss - as long as the method is correct, this type of magic can be mastered by anyone.

A person's magical aptitude is almost fixed at birth and difficult to change. Elsa has some common sense about this, but when it comes to this, Elsa can't help but feel strange -

"Isn't it true that Tricia is using natural magic now?"

At this moment, the trees ahead of the team continued to slowly part, as if welcoming everyone. Why could Tricia use nature magic? It should clearly be a magic system unique to forest elves.

Tricia also noticed Elsa's confusion and explained, "Natural magic is indeed the property of forest elves, but it's not impossible to imitate. In fact, the process of constructing and forming magic doesn't require the participation of the 'soul' itself. Just like the Philosopher's Stone, the infusion of external magic activates the Stone. This trigger doesn't necessarily have to be magic given by humans; it could also be goblins or demons, or perhaps it was simply a turbulent flow of magic caused by lightning that happened to ignite it.

Simply put, our human body is merely a generating device, and an incomplete one at that. Our magical adaptability is fixed within this framework and therefore cannot be altered. Based on this theory, if we construct a completely new framework outside our own, we should be able to control new magical properties—this is the principle of 'Arcane Magic: Magic Control.' I use my magic to construct a 'Magic Furnace.' It's not me, but it's completely at my disposal. It can be altered to form the circuits I desire, to accommodate energies that were previously beyond my control. Therefore, I can use it to activate magic that was previously beyond my control. However, activating magic this way consumes a lot of magic power, as I must use additional magic power to keep the 'Magic Furnace' operating."

Isn't this a virtual machine? - Aisha thought.

If the software is incompatible, just create a compatible framework. As long as the performance is sufficient, anything can be replicated - of course, the premise is that the performance is sufficient, and obviously, there are very few people who can meet this requirement standard, and Tricia is naturally one of them.

"'Magic Domination' is a very difficult technique to master. It's considered a relatively rare skill. So don't be discouraged if you can't master Holy Light Magic, because everyone..."

Before she could finish her words, Tricia noticed that flames were burning in Aisha's hands.

Tricia was silent.

"Any more?"

Aisha asked.

Tricia pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

"I will teach you one by one."

Tricia laid out various spells one after another for Elsa to learn - she wanted to see more and more where Elsa's limits were, so she spared no effort in teaching Elsa magic.

At this moment, the paladins and magicians walking in front all had complicated expressions.

——Today, they only felt that the tower of magic had collapsed.

But it only collapsed for a moment, and soon, a new magic tower was built: worthy of Lady Faris.

Inksa looked extremely serious.

She felt that she still had a long way to go and had to work harder.

……

Tricia could no longer tell whether there was a problem with Elsa or with the magic in Elsa's body. In short, so far Elsa had tried all magic systems except dragon magic, necromancy and abyss magic, and none of them failed. It was truly an eye-opener for Tricia.

As for the remaining three magic systems, Tricia also knows them, but the current conditions do not allow it.

Dragon language magic is an ancient, mysterious and powerful magic. Its activation requires huge magical power. With Elsa's current magical power, she cannot reproduce it.

Necromancer is also very mysterious. It requires extremely precise control over magic power and the assistance of fresh corpses or souls. Obviously, it is not feasible for the time being.

As for Abyss Magic, there was no need to choose it at all - Tricia would never take the initiative to let Elsa come into contact with such a thing.

"Now, you have mastered enough magic. All that's left is to hone your skills and become proficient in it."

Tricia said with a smile.

"There are many, many different kinds of magic. I can only teach you the most commonly used ones for now. Most of these have been tested in battle and over time. They're all magic that produces light and fire. The better the spell, the more likely it is to be recognized and passed down, and the more well-known it is. But in reality, there's no hierarchy of high and low in magic itself. So if you want to learn more spells, I can take you to the Imperial National Academy of Magic's library and pick out some that you'll like."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the circular mountain range outside the central lake.

"A black monster appeared ahead!"

Ryan's voice came from the front of the team.
