Chapter 318: Spatial Magic Saint Body?

"Good heavens! This summoning art is quite impressive! Pity I can't practice it!"

Recalling the Hell Baron he had just contracted, Gervas felt it was the perfect subordinate to receive such a summon.

Because it reminded him of a palm technique from the heavens in his past life... well, a summoning method from the heavens in a game.

It was a single-player game called Warcraft, which featured a stone golem made of green flames and rocks named 'Infernal'.

It was the ultimate skill of the 'Fear Lord' hero in the game; as the skill activated, a meteor fell from the sky, stunning and injuring enemies, while the meteor simultaneously transformed into a powerful green-flamed stone golem... the Infernal.

So, although his Hell Baron didn't emit green fire, if he could learn this summoning art, he could suddenly summon the Hell Baron during battles with enemies, letting them know what a cruel world it is.

Of course, spatial magic was a spell even dragons found troublesome and difficult to learn; let alone himself...

"Eh!"

Just as Gervas subconsciously tried to perceive according to the content recited in his mind, he suddenly discovered a speck of black energy entering his body.

At first, he thought it was an illusion, so he immediately continued trying with his pitifully small amount of mental power.

But this attempt was extraordinary; the next instant, even more black energy entered his body.

"This... could this be the mana of spatial magic? But the problem is, it is universally acknowledged in this world that one cannot learn magic after learning battle qi!"

Gervas felt his worldview suffer a massive shock.

Because dual cultivation of magic and martial arts did not exist in this world.

Moreover, this was an iron law.

The reason was simple: both were extraordinary powers; if you chose one path.

Then, once you stepped onto that path, your body would change to align with that track, thereby making you more compatible with that path.

After all, human physical strength was limited; if two powers were contained simultaneously, it was very likely that problems would arise within oneself first.

Therefore, even though Gervas possessed an information system, he had never expected to one day be able to learn magic.

But now, this spatial energy entering his body had obviously broken this iron law.

So, what should be done now?

Without dwelling on it for too long, Gervas went all out immediately.

Since his body did not stop the absorption of spatial magic, it meant this was a track he could continue on.

Furthermore, after the spatial mana entered his body, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Thus, Gervas simply used his mental power continuously to capture and absorb the mana.

Speaking of which, this was thanks to the different cultivation methods of magic and battle qi.

Battle qi must be gathered into the battle qi seed through meridians; therefore, battle qi breathing techniques were extremely important.

But magic primarily cultivates mental power, using meditation methods to strengthen mental power.

Once mental power is strengthened, absorbing mana and casting spells can both become increasingly powerful.

So, even though Gervas had not yet learned any meditation method, thanks to his existing mental power, he was similarly able to absorb mana.

"So, do I really have hope of casting this summoning art?"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became; the silent recitation in Gervas's mind reached its conclusion.

Hearing this final content, Gervas's spirit became even more exhilarated.

The scripture stated that the mana required for this summoning art was actually not much.

Especially the closer the distance, the less the consumption.

And the true difficulty of casting actually lay in the understanding of space.

As for understanding what spatial connotation?

There was a passage in the original text that read: 'When the master and servant are separated by hundreds of kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers, if they originally wish to converge, they must traverse the hundreds or even tens of thousands of kilometers between them.

But after employing the summoning space magic, the two can converge instantly.

The key to casting is to understand the distance between the master and servant as a flat sheet of paper.

When casting the spell, it is like folding the paper, causing the two points to overlap, so that the distance between the two is only as thin as a sheet of paper.

Subsequently, pierce through the thin sheet of paper with magic, and the master and servant can converge instantly.

Although the above is very profound, very difficult to understand, and very incredible, as long as one truly understands the meaning and accepts the meaning, then one can perfectly cast the spell!

Learners can achieve the state of accepting the meaning and understanding this spatial connotation through long-term self-suggestion and realization!'

Good heavens! Gervas exclaimed "Good heavens!"

He was not very familiar with profound knowledge of physical space.

But Gervas had heard of the General Theory of Relativity by a certain great figure in his past life.

Moreover, whenever he saw some science fiction films capable of interstellar jumps, he also felt that relativity was indeed one of the possibilities for completing interstellar travel in the future.

He never expected that a spell in this otherworld would also utilize a similar concept.

So, am I a natural-born spatial magic saint body?

The difficulties on this scripture, Gervas Gervas did not find difficult at all!

On the contrary, it was this mana that was his current difficulty; gathering it was indeed a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, the mana required for this summoning art was indeed not much; after a minute or so, as more and more mana was absorbed, Gervas began to construct the magic framework in his mind.

The casting of magic is to outline some complex magic patterns in the mind using mental power... which can also be understood as geometric patterns.

Once the geometric pattern is completed, inject mana into it.

When the two are completely fused, the casting is considered complete.

At this moment, relying on his mental power, Gervas had already constructed the corresponding pattern required for casting in his mind.

As he watched more and more mana being injected, about to fill the magic framework, and even the surrounding space began to ripple slightly.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound came.

As expected, his spellcasting failed.

The magical structure in his mind vanished.

Of course, this was not because his mana was insufficient, or his understanding of space inadequate.

It was because he had not marked the servants in advance.

Thus, the spell could not lock onto the servants, causing the summoning to fail.

"Does this count as a success? Is space magic that casual? What about the high difficulty that even dragons would shake their heads at?"

Gervas sprang to his feet, unable to suppress the joy on his face.

However, Gervas's smugness lasted no more than three seconds; in the next instant, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his head.

Clearly, this was due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy.

After all, the spiritual energy obtained entirely through the Wisdom Fruit was actually not much.

Fortunately, the overdraft was not severe.

"It seems I must find a meditation method to try, to see if it can increase my spiritual energy!"

There were several mages in the castle; Gervas felt that if he asked, they would not be stingy.

Of course, this was not urgent; calculating the time, the Church's convoy mentioned in the intelligence was likely arriving soon.

Therefore, even if he truly obtained a meditation method, he could only attempt it at night.

Gervas simply walked out of the living room, heading toward the front courtyard.

No sooner had he stepped into the front courtyard than he saw Knight Mi Gen and the others waiting for him with excited faces.

"My lord!"

The moment they saw Gervas, all five rushed forward excitedly and knelt halfway to the ground with a thud.

"Have you completed the breakthrough?"

Previously, on the return journey, the group had not yet completed their breakthroughs, so Gervas had simply ordered not to disturb them, letting them continue cultivating in the ship's cabin.

"Yes, my lord! Thanks to your lord's grace, we subordinates have completed the breakthrough!"

"Excellent, excellent! It is good that you have broken through; from now on, Storm Territory will have five more Bronze Knights, making security even more assured! All rise!"

Gervas was very satisfied; this was absolutely a milestone, and the security of Storm Territory would improve by at least one tier from now on.

Splash! Splash!

Just as Knight Mi Gen and the others stood up and were about to say more, a Magic Swift Eagle descended from the sky.

Riding the Magic Swift Eagle was none other than Evlan.

"My lord, you instructed me to keep watch on the northern border situation; just now, a convoy of two hundred people entered the territory, and the flag of the Holy Light Church was faintly visible among them!"
