Chapter 359: Modify Spells
"So, you mean there is something dangerous inside this box?" asked Angus.
"Well, I can't say for sure. But, there must be some reason that makes it sealed with that kind of strong God Rune. Either it is dangerous or something that is not suitable for the world." replied Benjamin as he talked from his own experience.
"Hm.. I see. Then, I will keep it and leave it be." replied Angus.
"Ehh… May I ask why?" asked Benjamin as the other was also curious.
Angus didn't reply directly but took out his twin sword artifact.
"Master Benjamin, what do you think of this artifact?" asked Angus while putting it on the table.
Benjamin and the others saw Angus' twin sword many times. However, of them ever touch or inspect the artifact itself.
Looking at the twin crimson thin sword artifact, Benjamin couldn't help but want to touch and inspect it as a researcher. Just as he is going to touch the sword, he suddenly stops his hand and feels a very dangerous feeling from it.
"This artifact.. Where did you get this?" asked Benjamin.
"I got it from old man Draught, Vigo's master. So, what do you think of this artifact?" replied Angus.
"Burn… I feel I will instantly get burned to death by it." replied Benjamin.
"True, old man Draught has some collection of these kinds of artifacts in his vault. At that time, old man Draught explained to me. A weapon/item that can only be sealed is useless.
"They may be sealed because they are dangerous, but it doesn't mean they need to be always sealed and buried. There will be a time they will be revealed to the world."
"Like the twin sword artifact, although I am still not able to completely subdue it. But, after using it many times, I know a few things about it. Truth be told, this twin sword only wants nothing but to burn everything."
"Such a dangerous weapon should always be sealed away. However, as a weapon master, I always believe there is no such thing as a dangerous weapon/item. In the end, it always depends on the user."
"I don't know if the thing inside the mysterious box is a malicious item or not. But, I think I will give it a try and use it." said Angus.
"Well, if you already decide your mind, I couldn't say anymore. However, please be careful when you are handling this box." said Benjamin.
After that, they begin to have a chat about various things. They also share some of their project problems. Because of the contract binding, they couldn't exactly tell their project. But, they still could share some of the problems they face.
"A self-adapted enchantment? That's sure hard." said Angus.
"I know, right. So, could you help us with this project?" asked Vigo.
"I am sorry. Maybe later, I am currently too busy modifying those spells as it is a very urgent task. Why don't you ask master Benjamin?" replied Angus.
"No way, Master Benjamin is already too busy with the H project. Haa.. It seems everyone is too busy right now. I guess we'll do it just by ourselves for now." said Vigo.
"Modifying spell? I don't think it will take a lot of time considering your capability." chimed Benjamin.
"Well, if it's normal spells, I could do it in one or two weeks at maximum, but these spells originally only work with different kinds of energy besides mana. Now, I tried to make it usable with mana." said Angus.
"I managed to modify it in the first few days, but the spells became very less effective compared to what they were supposed to be. Not to mention, it also costs a lot of mana. Basically, the spells become impractical and unusable." added Angus.
"That's certainly a hard task. Hm… Have you already tried using powerful language rather than the usual magic diagram?" said Benjamin.
"Powerful language? Did you mean those dragon languages, old tongues, or the others?" asked Angus.
"Yeah, in the ancient times. There is this interesting theory. All kinds of magic and spells are derived from the powerful language."
"Hence, whenever they tried to modify the spells, they would always try to modify it using the powerful language before adapting it to the new modified spells. Since ancient times powerful languages have always used the user's energy be it mana, miasma, or something else."
"So, you don't need to worry about the energy conversion later. Still, this method is very roundabout since you need to translate the magic diagram into powerful language before changing it back again to a magic diagram." explained Benjamin
"It may take more process, but I think it is better than randomly modifying the spells randomly." added Benjamin.
"That's certainly a better idea than trying to modify the spells blindly. Alright, I will head to Master Valeron first to borrow some reference books." said Angus.
"Sure, good luck." said Benjamin.
Then, Angus goes looking for Master Valeron to borrow some references about powerful language. Currently, Angus only masters a few powerful languages like the old tongue, dusk, sun, and a few more.
However, he still needs to learn more to find the spell's powerful language origin. Angus thought that since the spells derived from the powerful language, they must have their original powerful language. Hence, he needs to first find the original powerful language before modifying it.
Fortunately, the research center has some collection books about the powerful language. After getting permission from Valeron, Angus immediately looks for them and is surprised at what he finds.
He found many powerful languages he could never learn before, such as Dragon language, Ancient World language, Fire Language, Light Language, and other languages. Looking at the many languages, Angus feels this will take a long time to learn all of them.
However, with his current enhanced mind, he believes he will learn them in no time. During this time, he suddenly remembered the certain room in the abandoned building's basement inside the royal academy. Inside the room, there is a dusk language printed on the paper on the desk.
Still, he immediately decided to brush up on this thought since he still didn't have enough mana to vocalize all the words printed on it. Currently, with Angus's mana density, he could vocalize one word of the dusk language, like using fourth circle spells.
Angus remembers in the printed paper, there are around ten or more words on it. Even though his mana capacity has been increasing a lot since his last time, he still couldn't vocalize all of them.
Angus speculated that maybe only sixth grade or above combatants could vocalize the sentence completely. Otherwise, the person needs a huge amount of mana capacity or external way.
Another month passed since Angus started to use the powerful language method to modify the spells. His hard work during one month didn't go to waste. He managed to modify a few spells using the powerful language approach.
Some of these spells are very useful to be used for war and could be used immediately. However, there are still a few spells that Angus couldn't find its powerful language origin. Most of these spell has an obscure effect. One of them is the revival spell.
This is a very miraculous spell that could revive the dead person. As long as the person's death time didn't exceed 24 hours, they could always be revived with these spells. However, this spell also has a lot of limitations and does not always work.
Because of this, Angus has a hard time finding its powerful language origin. A spell with an ambiguous effect like a revival spell is the hardest to modify using the powerful language method. For a powerful language to work, it needs a very clear and detailed intent.
Without it, the spells will be bound to fail. Still, Angus managed to make a huge result during this one month. Currently, Angus is inside the royal palace, accompanying Jayna.
"Haa… Must I go to the party too?" asked Angus.
"Well, you have to. Or did you want another noble to approach me?" said Jayna.
"Like hell, I will let them. You are mine. Completely mine." said Angus while embracing Jayna.
"Then, you must accompany me to the party." said Jayna while smiling mischievously.
"Haa… I really hate those stupid nobles." replied Angus with a sigh.
"Relax, it is just a yearly end party. It's not like you have never gone to this kind of party before." said Jayna.
"I did… but, everytime it will always become a problem. I still remember how I almost kill those stupid noble because they try to force their way to you." said Angus.
"That's the more reason you need to go to this party. Anyway, Father will also come to the party and it will also be organized by my eldest brother." explained Jayna.
"So, you definitely can't miss this party. Besides, I will reward you with something after the party ends." added Jayna while embracing Angus.
Angus looked at Jayna for a while before replying, "Are you sure?" asked Angus out of nowhere.
"Uhum… I want you to make me completely become yours." replied Jayna while nodding.
"How about your Father? Did he will…" asked Angus.
But, Jayna cuts Angus with a kiss passionately before looking at Angus with fiery bird eyes.
"Angus, I.. I mean.. we decide it is time for you to become yours completely.." said Jayna while blushing.
