156How to deal with fire wizards (4)
3months ago.
Roman set the goal of analyzing magic..
From then on, I started collecting all the books on magic, and spent every spare moment analyzing magic..
understanding of magic.
It was the most basic theory.
Although he had read it once before, Roman reviewed the contents once again..
「Magic begins by resonating the mana from the circle with the mana of nature. Since it is impossible to perfectly manifest magic with only the mana in the body, the characteristics of mana according to each individual's personality are a very important factor. If the mana you have in your body is familiar with the fire attribute, you can attract the power of fire that exists in nature, and it is possible to create a powerful synergy when using fire magic..」
resonance with nature.
It was a magic root..
Ordinary wizards studied 『Understanding Magic』 and tried to find the characteristics of mana that suited them, just like those who went before them..
Fire is fire, water is water, wind is wind. As the understanding of magic says, I focused on finding appropriate properties rather than opposing properties and learning magic related to those properties..
When I first read the book.
Roman took it literally..
And now, after dealing with Edwin Hector, Roman interpreted the book's teachings from a different perspective..
‘Resonance with nature means that some kind of signal appears in the way you use magic. People often describe magic as the miracle of God creating something from nothing, but as the understanding of magic explains, magic is not a power that appears without any conditions. If only I could read the signal. Wouldn't it be possible to identify the existence of magic in advance and avoid it as quickly as possible??’
It is not simply about feeling and reacting to the energy of mana..
regular pattern.
I tried to penetrate the essence.
Although it is a very basic theory, Roman's questions are answered one after another based on it..
‘Magic is a well-organized discipline. Since everyone can use the same magic if they follow a clear system, wizards passed down knowledge from generation to generation to create the current system. That means that it is possible to utilize a standardized system. Casting magic. The moment the mana that occurs in the circle connects with natural mana, you can predict what kind of magic your opponent will use based on its form, amount of mana, and mana properties. For example, if the shape of the sphere shows some mana and fire properties, the wizard is clearly using a fireball. If you can figure it out in advance, responding later is not that difficult. A fireball has the power to explode in a straight line. You can avoid fireballs just by moving left and right..’
I fell into a world of imagination.
In my head.
I thought of a picture of avoiding a fireball..
‘Understanding the resonance of mana is difficult. Therefore, in order to apply the theory I have just thought to reality, I need to fully understand the wizards' magic and also know the system..’
If you protect yourself, you will never fail in all battles.).
A perfect victory begins with getting to know your opponent..
expensive magic books.
bought them.
I put them all together on the bookshelf, and buried the vast knowledge in my head..
In fact, I checked whether I had the potential to become a magician, but I found out that circle and Danjeon mana cannot coexist..
Even if you study hard, you cannot use it on yourself..
With the sole intention of analyzing magic, Roman spent a lot of money and time studying just like wizards..
First 1 month.
The speed of analysis was very slow..
Since the foundation was not yet established, I was not impatient and focused on thoroughly understanding magic..
As time goes by like that.
Analysis gained momentum.
As the shelves filled with books, Roman began to understand the nature of magic..
Finally, when it was 3 months.
Roman Dmitry realized the need to combine it with actual combat..
* * *
Roman said.
“The reason I was able to respond quickly to Felix's magic was because I read a certain pattern. He figured out in advance which magic to use depending on the amount, form, and properties of mana, and chose a countermeasure accordingly. Whether to use fire ball, fire wave, or rune flare. When a wizard decides to use a particular spell, it is not difficult to predict its purpose based on what kind of magic it is..”
From the first remark.
Felix was shocked..
Roman spoke as if it was nothing special, but implementing the theory just mentioned into reality was a different matter..
first.
1. The sense of reading resonance.
2. Knowledge of identifying the type of magic just by looking at the form of resonance..
3. Quick judgment based on input information.
At least three conditions were required.
Felix's eyes were trembling, but Roman answered the questions Felix asked sequentially..
“Destroying curse-type magic such as Hold was a kind of offset. According to what is known in magical circles, a curse can be lifted when the mana that penetrates the body is driven out. However, this method is bound to be time consuming. In a battlefield where every minute is important, this method is not a very good solution. Therefore, I chose to use the mana inside my body to create an explosion with external mana. Explosion inside the body. The moment you adjust the range and intensity of the explosion just a little bit incorrectly, you will suffer great damage, but if used properly, you can neutralize the curse..”
This too.
It didn't make sense..
meet roman.
Felix asked three questions.
How on earth do you react so quickly, why does curse magic not work, and what is the shield that blocks the magic?.
Roman gave a clear answer.
However, even after hearing it with his own ears, Felix realized that not everyone who knows Roman's theory can do it..
“Finally, the third. The protective shield that blocks magic is formed like a 'shield' by expressing the aura to the outside. I express this as a sword. This is a method that uses the powerful power of the aura defensively to block the opponent's attack..”
sword curtain.
It was the Moorim way..
Unlike the methods of this world that use aura explosively, the sword shield required detailed control just to express it externally..
If ordinary prosecutors followed Roman's method,.
Rather than forming a shield with the aura, the unstable aura will explode before it can be properly formed..
First understanding of magic.
Felix questioned Roman's actions..
But after listening to the series of explanations, Felix realized why he had no choice but to lose..
widely.
Roman closed the book.
And then.
“My explanation is over. Do you have any additional comments??”
I asked back.
To supplement his knowledge, he did not hesitate to reveal it to others.
It was great confidence..
Looking up at Roman like that.
“……doesn't exist.”
Felix couldn't bear to say anything..
* * *
End the conversation.
Felix returned to his lodgings..
It was a short time, but the conversation with Roman made him feel so miserable..
“What on earth did I hear?.”
Felix.
People called him a genius.
Until now, he had thought of himself as someone born with talent, but Roman Dmitry was a completely different being..
monster.
I couldn't express it any other way..
As they explained step by step how to deal with wizards, it felt like the world of common sense was collapsing..
‘Roman Dmitry. We are not creatures that simply follow our instincts. He thoroughly analyzed his opponents and achieved dozens of victories against me through perfect calculation. It must have been in the same context that I initially offered 10,000 gold as a reward. Roman Dmitry was confident that he would win, so he deliberately pushed himself into a corner with a large reward..’
It is not a general judgment..
No matter how confident you are.
With a large sum of money being offered as compensation, Roman Dmitry explained in detail how he won..
Roman's intentions were visible..
Rather than leaking knowledge.
Putting heads together, he hoped to complement his own knowledge..
Since it is a method that not everyone can use anyway, he showed boldness in not hiding his specialness..
‘Would I be able to do that??’
no.
I never would have done that..
Even if he could not supplement his knowledge with his own strength, he would have kept it to himself and thought about how to benefit from its scarcity..
It's not that I'm ashamed of that judgment..
Knowing that most people would make the same choice made Roman feel like a mutant even more..
suddenly.
The conversation with Roman came to mind..
“Felix. The fact that I beat you doesn't really matter. I have something I want to gain from the confrontation with Felix, so a one-sided confrontation like yesterday and today is not what I want. So please do whatever you can to bring me down. If it's a magical ability, I'll allow it to be used in any way..”
Roman's words.
He was consistent from beginning to end..
He didn't care at all about revealing his power or his own knowledge, and hoped to gain even the slightest possibility from his relationship with Felix..
In the process, a large amount of money was spent and knowledge was leaked..
As long as he could take one step forward, he didn't seem to care at all who was following him..
It was amazing.
Because it's something I can't do.
For the first time in his life, Felix felt insignificant..
‘Even a strong man like Roman Dmitry is constantly working to become stronger. But what on earth am I doing? Since Master disappeared, I have always avoided reality with the excuse that there was nothing I could do, and I have been unable to do anything to move forward as the magic tower lord of Phoenix. The same goes for choosing to go to Dmitry. If I really had the will, I would have chosen self-improvement over making money..’
As a result.
I met Roman and gained enlightenment..
However, if I had made the right decision, I would not have chosen to go to Dmitry, despite the amount offered..
Right now at this moment.
Felix forgot the deal..
Aside from the large sum of money, he, like Roman, hoped to gain something..
‘For the rest of the time. I will do my best to spar with Roman Dmitry. I hope that Roman Dmitry gains at least one possibility through me, and that I too can gain something from my confrontation with him. I will spend my time developing myself, not just making money..’
There are many types of humans in the world.
While there were those who found the high wall and despaired, there were also those who used it as motivation for development..
Felix belonged to the latter..
from then.
Win or lose, Felix began to sink into his own reality..
* * *
time has passed.
Even though his mindset changed and they sparred dozens of times, Felix never won a single victory..
a one-sided defeat.
I didn't care if I won or lost.
Felix always worked hard to bring down Roman Dmitry in various ways, and Roman, perhaps aware of his efforts, did not add anything special even though he won every time..
Felix was a very good test subject..
Roman Dmitry also appeared to be responding more and more skillfully to the practical experience he was accumulating..
Before you know it.
Two months have passed since I arrived in Dmitry..
Living away from the Franks, Felix learned what a strange land Dmitri was..
‘Dmitry is a baronial family from the frontier. However, its military power is much stronger than general standards..’
guards at the gate.
I thought they had also received systematic training, but my thoughts completely changed when I saw Roman Dmitry's soldiers..
It was literally 100 per day..
Even ordinary soldiers showed overwhelming strength, to the point where it was safe to call them knights if they wore armor and helmets..
furthermore.
Their loyalty was blind.
Sometimes I had a chance to watch the training, and they showed such strong desire that they would bite their tongues if Roman said anything..
It was no different for Dmitry's people..
As soon as Roman Dmitry appears, people split into two sides to show respect..
Even though Roman is clearly not Dmitry's lord, he has an overwhelming position within Dmitry's domain..
It was certain.
ruler).
Roman Dmitry was a man accustomed to ruling others..
The attitude of not looking back and taking people's loyalty for granted aroused a strange feeling..
Felix's teacher.
In his absence, the Magic Tower began to shake..
If Phoenix had a center like Roman Dmitry, they might have gone a little better..
Then one day.
Felix heard shocking words from the blacksmith..
“Master Roman, do you visit the blacksmith shop often? Although he sometimes shows his face to take care of the people's livelihood, I understand that when he makes his own sword, he uses a private blacksmith shop. Actually, this is what I heard from Master Blacksmith. It is said that when Master Roman works, the flames from the oven envelop his entire body, making him look like a fire god..”
It was a random conversation.
Felix could not ignore the expression that flames enveloped his entire body while working..
‘no way.’
my heart was racing.
ability to absorb fire.
If what the blacksmith said was true and not a leap of faith, then it was the answer Felix had been desperately looking for..
Phoenix's Secret.
In order to perfectly implement burning, the ability to immediately accept fire was needed..
