Chapter 639 – Training
"In terms of touch, there is one main feature that you can take advantage of." Leonardo, standing in front of Agata, began his lecture.
Agata's expression became serious as she closed her eyes and started absorbing all the knowledge Leonardo taught.
"First of all, Awareness itself is the personification of our senses in the real world. You have done a great job until now, so we're moving on to the second stage.
"After sharing your sense of touch to the Magic Power, we will have you share it with the particles.
"For example, even though your smoke is just an illusion smoke, the smoke itself is a real thing, which should have particles other than Magic Power.
"It's hard to see the smoke particles, but it doesn't mean you can't sense it. Now, you need to distribute your Magic Power and Sense of Touch to locate these millions of particles that create your smoke.
"After that, you can try to coat them with your Sense of Touch as well. With the particle and Magic Power coated by your Awareness, the strength of your technique will drastically improve."
Agata frowned. Although she could understand his words, she was still confused about how to do it.
Meanwhile, Theo interjected and asked, "Particles… Do you mean molecules or…"
"The other one."
Agata opened her eyes in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"He's just telling you to understand the things around you. For example, if you form a figure behind you out of nothing, don't just use an illusion; how about using wind as well? This will create two layers for that figure.
"And since you have that pink smoke, why don't you just consider the pink smoke itself as particles?"
"Ah, normally, I think of my illusion fog as Magic Power because it only comes from my skill which requires Magic Power. However, if what you say is correct, does that mean I can treat the smoke itself as a separate entity?"
"Something like that." Theo glanced at Leonardo.
"You're good at simplifying my words, eh." Leonardo raised his eyebrows.
Theo shrugged and ignored him as he continued, "Your affinity is the same as mine, right?"
"Yeah. I don't have an affinity." Agata confirmed it.
"Then, this is simpler. Magic Power itself is not the real thing. So, if we use the human's body as an example, the skin is Magic Power and the pink smoke is the organs, blood, and other stuff," Theo explained with a calm expression.
"Ah, it's better to use stuffed dolls then. We can use cotton, metal, or anything we like to fill the doll." Agata raised her eyes and said, "Doesn't that mean I can make it stronger if I add materials other than my pink smoke?"
"That's how it is," Leonardo confirmed it with a nod. "However, this needs a high amount of control to achieve. So, let's focus on Magic Power and Particles first."
"Yes. I understand." Agata nodded furiously.
"Good." Leonardo smiled and took a step back. "I believe you have a question for me."
"Yeah. Take a look at this." Theo took a deep breath and gathered the Magic Power in front of his forehead before infusing his killing intent. After that, he directed that killing intent to Leonardo's brain.
"…" Leonardo felt the killing intent and scratched the back of his head. "To be honest, your technique is more profound than mine in this area, so I assume it comes from your blessing. However, I can see that you're still lacking in control and speed."
"Yeah. I also want to increase the power for that one, but I want to have the speed first. I have a method ready, but I still want to ask for advice." Theo asked.
"In that case, how about you use a different shape? From what I can feel, yours is like a thread or something. How about using an arrow?"
"No. There is a reason for me making a thread."
"You're concentrating… or more like compressing it to increase the power." Leonardo nodded, knowing the reason.
"Yeah."
"How about you increase the amount of Magic Power you use?"
"I have used it, but it's harder to control."
"Then, how about I teach you a trick so you can experiment with it yourself?"
"A trick?"
"Yes." Leonardo closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them again. This time, golden-colored light began to shine from his eyes before turning into a flame that covered his right eye. "This is the trick."
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes and remembered the scene where Goddess Hel took over his body for a few seconds.
At that time, the Death Avatar had just appeared, and Theo felt his vision turn blue. It was then he was able to see blue-colored particles in the air.
He even saw several threads flying toward all monsters and people.
This was the same technique that Goddess Hel used.
"Wait a minute…" Theo looked down and remembered something. He muttered inwardly, 'Now that I think about it, if I gather the Magic Power around my eyes and maintain it, doesn't it mean I can use them whenever I like?
'This will shorten the activation time for this Death Gaze. And when I get the Death Avatar, it's going to be even more powerful.'
[Good job for understanding it this early.]
"…" Theo was surprised when he saw a notification before his eyes. He instantly knew it was from Hel, meaning he went in the correct direction.
"I see. I want to learn that trick." Theo asked his grandfather.
"It's simple." Leonardo smiled. "You pour your Magic Power into your eyes just like when you summon a spear from Magic Power.
"However, you're going to assimilate it with your eyes to make it act like a contact lens. To be honest, you should try to reshape your Magic Bullets first before learning this. It will make your job easier later.
"There is also a big advantage in getting this. You will be able to see the flow of Magic Power. It's true that you are consuming your Magic Power to do it, but it will benefit you in the long run." Leonardo smiled.
"I see. I will work on that.." Theo nodded in agreement as he released his Magic Bullets, immediately starting his training.
