Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431 - Gravity Fusion (Part 1)

Quylla was the closest thing to a true mage mankind had ever reached so she shut up and listened, hoping to find a clue that could help her to Awaken safely.

"What do you mean, movement technique? Now that we know Spirit Magic, we can Warp and Fly even in the presence of elemental sealing arrays." Friya asked.​​

"Indeed, but they would also expose you as Awakened. Unless you leave no witnesses, the Kingdom would consider you a threat to national security and the Council would kill you all." Faluel replied.

"Gravity Fusion, instead, can allow you to reach amazing results that can be explained thanks to human lore and superstition. Many of you have certainly heard nonsense about becoming one with your weapon or about martial masters standing on top of a twig floating on the surface of a lake, correct?"

Everyone nodded. All the heroes of the legends were known for feats that every apprentice strived to achieve until they realized it was a fool’s errand.

"Now please look at this." Faluel threw a handful of leaves in the air, using them as stepping stones to jump so high that she reached the ceiling of her lair. Then, she conjured a knee-deep pond of water that she crossed by wetting solely the soles of her feet.

"What the f.u.c.k?" Lith asked, taking the words off everyone’s mind.

"That, my apprentices, is another application of Gravity Fusion." She said while sucker-shaving Lith’s beard while he was still off guard, reducing it to a stubble.

"They are impressing and you can gibberish your way out by claiming to have reached enlightenment or any of that crap since they produce no visible effect. The arrays seemingly work on you and it looks like the result of physical rather than magical training.

"Still, my advice is to use Gravity Fusion in a detectable way as little as possible to avoid unwanted attention. Unless, of course, you are mister hero here who could pull a Dragon out of his a.s.s without anyone batting an eye." Faluel chuckled while pointing at Lith.

"How does it work, exactly?" Nalrond asked. "I am capable of using hexa-fusion ever since I was a kid, yet it never triggered any kind of effect related to Gravity Magic, otherwise my village would have gone extinct way before Acala freed Dawn."

"It’s easy to understand but hard to perform. At least for those like you who have yet to become Spirit Masters." Faluel replied. "Fusion Magic consists of activating the elements that comprise your bodies in order to gain their properties.

"Even once you can use all of them at the same time, all you get are six different energies that run parallel to each other. To get Gravity Fusion, they must converge into a single balanced energy that encompasses your whole body from the innermost nerve to the shortest hair.

"Once you do that, you’ll be able to affect yourself with Gravity Magic, but beware. Too much or too little energy will harm you. On top of that, you can’t affect anyone else with it just like you can’t use Fusion Magic on others.

"Which means that the ladder of leaves trick wouldn’t work while carrying even a bag." The Hydra said. "Start with small amounts of energy and try to mix them together. Anyone capable of using tier zero Gravity Magic understands when they are doing it right."

While everyone else tried to create six small elemental flows of equal power and make them harmonize with each other, Quylla used her best diagnostic spells on her friends to identify the effects of Fusion magic and try to understand how to replicate them.

’Dammit, I know how to use Gravity Magic, but only by affecting a specific area around me and by using the external elements. If only I had a clue about what kind of runes Fusion magic uses.’ She thought while using her outstanding mana perception to sense any alteration in her sisters’ bodies.

After a few minutes, both Lith and Solus stood up, managing to reach halfway through the pond that Faluel had conjured before plunging down.
