Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Maybe, no...

There has never been a moment when I feel as good as I do now.

"I feel it, hehe..."

"Is this magic? Is this fighting spirit? It's so refreshing, hehe, hehe, hahahahahaha..."

"Fuck it, it worked!"

Travel: 15. Red Dragon's Jaw

A tidal force flows through my body.

I feel it.

I felt the magic crystal in my stomach, releasing magic power that transformed into fighting spirit and wrapped around every inch of my muscles. Before this, I had never imagined what it would be like to be wrapped in fighting spirit, until now.

The body, which had been weakened by blood loss, was now able to stand up.

Although, this is an opportunistic behavior.

I was able to understand how to use the magic power in the magic crystal for magic circles, and I also carefully trained my body to understand what Orsted called the method of entangled fighting spirit.

It is really too difficult to just use the magic source outside the body for oneself.

So, I simply swallowed the source of magic power.

In this way, offering demons outside the body becomes offering demons inside the body.

There are still some differences, but I can understand it.

"Did you make it?"

Orsted noticed the change in me and nodded slightly.

"Don't move, heal your wound first. Fighting Qi can't heal the body."

"Yes."

I suppressed the excitement in my heart.

Qixing quickly took out the healing magic scroll and used it with the magic crystal to help me recover from my injuries. My broken leg and fractured hand healed quickly, but my face was still pale, probably due to excessive blood loss.

Perhaps because I was so excited, I almost ignored the pain in my body.

No, it could also be due to the fighting spirit.

So this is how those who can entangle fighting spirit feel...

"Magic crystal, has it been absorbed?"

Orstead asked.

"No, not really."

I touched my belly, or rather my stomach.

"I can feel it. The magic crystal is in my stomach right now. I can't digest it or absorb it. It's just borrowing magic power like usual. But if it stays for a long time, I won't be able to say for sure."

Thinking of this question, I couldn't help but frown.

Dou Qi consumes very little magic power, and it would take a long time to use up all the magic crystals in the stomach.

If something goes wrong during this process...

The thought of this gives me a chill.

You know, I have no magic power.

If a person with no magic power has too much magic power remaining in their body...

It seems to be called Dule disease?

That's not a good thing.

"It's best to take it out outside of combat."

Orstead suggested.

"I think so too, but..."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I can’t take it out.

It's easy to swallow, but hard to spit out.

How can you spit out such a big piece of magic crystal just like that?

……

……

Next I tried various methods such as pinching my throat and drinking dirty water, but I still couldn't spit it out.

So in the end, Orsted came up with a solution.

Cut open the stomach and take out the magic crystal directly.

You thought it was surgery?

No, it's raw cut.

He stabbed my stomach with incredible precision, then forcibly dug out the magic crystal. He then used healing magic to heal the wound before it could bleed profusely.

My face was grim and I was gritting my teeth throughout the whole process.

But this is indeed a solution.

After the magic crystal was taken out, the fighting spirit that was originally wrapped around the body also disappeared.

The feeling of weakness came back all at once.

With Qixing's support, I returned to the tent.

On the way back, I kept thinking:

Doesn't it mean that every time I want to use fighting spirit, I have to use this method?

No matter how you think about it, it's a bit too ridiculous.

Do not……

It's only to this extent.

Don't think about all those messy things, just think about the pain of having to endure a caesarean section after every battle.

If you think about it this way, it's not unbearable.

After all, I'm used to the pain.

Moreover, all things are difficult at the beginning.

Now that I have learned how to use mimic fighting spirit, maybe one day I will no longer need to use this method?

……

……

After learning to use mimic fighting spirit.

Another month passed.

During this month, I accepted Orsted's guidance and reviewed all the moves and techniques that I had practiced countless times in the past but could not use because I could not wrap my fighting spirit around them. Then, as expected, I became a senior swordsman of the third-rate school.

The Sword God style mastered the Silent Sword.

I also tried the Hikari no Tachi, but failed.

I'm afraid it will take more time to practice.

As for the Water God Style, I have learned the secret of [Flow].

But according to Orsted, even if one has learned the secret technique, knowing how to use it is an important component of strength.

The secret technique used by a Water God Swordsman like Izuruti is definitely not on the same level as the secret technique I use.

Then there is Beishenliu.

Beishenliu doesn't have any specific moves.

It would be better to say that there are simply too many schools of Beishenliu.

Basically, after reaching the Saint level, everyone's Beishenliu will become more practical for themselves, and when it is passed on to others, it can no longer be considered the original version.

If I have to say, the Beishenliu that is closest to the original is the Undead Demon King Atofi.

She is the direct disciple of the first generation Northern God Kalman.

Even so, because of his immortal body, Atofi's Beishenliu is very different from the general Beishenliu.

For example, in Atuofei's Beishenliu, there are moves specifically designed to deal with Jianshenliu.

—Use your neck to block your opponent's sword.

But this move is tantamount to suicide for ordinary people, and only she, Alex the Second Northern God, and Alexander the Third Northern God can use it.

Orsted also has his own Beishenliu.

Of course, neither style is the most commonly used style by Orsted.

The style he used was the Dragon God Style, founded by the Dragon God Urpe, a style that consumed almost no mana. However, this style required extremely high physical fitness from the user, and I obviously couldn't reach that level.

The only thing I can learn is Dragon Saint Fighting Qi.

But this thing is even more difficult than mimicking fighting spirit, which is really beyond my reach.

Instead of learning this, it would be better to practice the moves and secrets of the three major schools honestly and reach the Saint level as soon as possible.

……

Another month passed.

We return to the Kingdom of Asura again.

The destination is the Kingdom of King Dragon located in the southern part of the Central Continent.

However, there had been constant wars in the area in the past, and some of the ruins had been destroyed, so there was no magic circle that could be used for transfer.

So after we come out of the transfer magic circle located in the Asura Kingdom, we have to walk along the red dragon's jaw all the way to the King Dragon Kingdom.

It's quite a long journey.

But according to Orstead, this is probably the last time he can travel with us.

Because after going to the Kingdom of Wang Long, he must conquer a certain maze and get a certain item.

The maze environment is very complex.

Moreover, it is said that the difficulty of that maze is very high.

Even he couldn't conquer the maze while protecting Nanahoshi and me.

I suddenly heard the news.

It's such a mixed bag of emotions.

Thinking back carefully, I have been traveling around the world with Orsted since I came to this world. All my strength comes from him, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a teacher.

But now we are about to part.

Of course, both Qixing and I have mastered the necessary abilities to survive in this world.

So I'm not worried about life after leaving Orsted.

It's just a complicated mood.

But I knew from the beginning that one day we would have to part ways.
