Chapter 16: Can you hear my heartbeat?
The damage caused by the Magic Bullet is essentially an impact.
The fact that air can flow and magic can coalesce into magic bullets indicates that magic possesses gaseous properties.
He shaped the magic into a pipe like form, transmitting it to the maximum extent he could control, and manipulating its flow around his body.
Training his self control in this way is more efficient than simply casting spells.
In this process, magic inevitably dissipates and then recovers, which can also help improve mind.
Thinking about this, Sion suddenly had an inspiration.
Manipulate magic to form magic bullets, and fire them to create an impact.
So, can manipulating magic to move rapidly create an attack like a Vacuum Bullet?
Sion accelerated the operation of the magic, but soon had no choice but to stop.
Because once magic leaves the body and manifests in the outside world, it becomes difficult to completely control its energy and prevent it from leaking away.
When the movement of magic is accelerated, control decreases, causing the magic to dissipate and disappear.
Regardless of what Sion thinks, this theory is quite feasible.
"Have you come up with any new ideas yet?"
Meteria asked curiously.
"I guess so."
Sion explained his theory, then raised his hand and released his magic.
"Condense, then rotate."
As the chanting is recited, the magic within condenses and rotates rapidly in one direction, forming a shuriken like shape.
However, it was clear that magic cannot act as a shuriken, and its speed looked insufficient, it can only generate enough wind.
After a moment's thought, Sion changed the shape of the rotation, forming the shape of a round knife.
Then he formed it into a vortex like shape.
At this point, the output of magic power had stabilized considerably, and the bullet's attack was beginning to take shape.
"It really works."
Sion launched the bullet, which struck the remaining fragments of the wooden cup on the ground three meters away.
Small crack appeared in the wooden cup.
If the previous Magic Bullet was the simplest introductory spell, then the current Vacuum Bullet is an advanced basic spell.
When Sion is able to maintain the operation of the Vacuum Bullet with himself as the center, that will be intermediate spell.
If it can be imbued with attributes such as fire, water, and wind, its power will be greatly increased, thus becoming high tier spell.
"So, does that mean I can try the Rasengan from Naruto?"
Vacuum Bullets operate in a regular pattern, while Rasengans operate randomly.
Both are pure energy form changes, by adding changes in properties, they can reach advanced forms.
That's interesting.
"Amazing!!"
Meteria stared at Sion in a daze, then smiled sincerely and said, "Congratulations. You can now live well in this world even without my help, and you will definitely become the strongest mage in the future."
Thinking back to the early days of Sion, he was starving and could not even speak Koine.
Who could have imagined that Sion would undergo such a transformation in just one month?
And this was just the beginning.
"I can't do this without you."
Sion leaned closer and gently kissed her lips, "Wherever you are, that is my home. I will always be with you."
"Mhm... how cunning, Sion."
Meteria complained.
She felt that by now, she was already a burden to Sion.
With his abilities, if he had become an adventurer earlier, he would have already been able to shine.
"It's a simple choice."
Sion is sensitive to emotions, especially during the dating period. His attention was entirely on Meteria, so he quickly understood her psychological changes.
"What is the final stage of this process of gaining strength, becoming stronger, and growing?"
Sion asked, "Pursuing strength itself? Protecting your companions? Money and fame?"
"In my opinion, the most important thing is undoubtedly to be able to live a happier life."
"For adventurers, improving themselves is a happy thing in itself."
"For ambitious people, the process of acquiring money and fame can bring them excitement and happiness."
"For me, true happiness is always the companionship of my family."
A man can be purely driven by ambition.
If Dio in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure could give up his ambition, he could also become a good husband and father.
Career and family were never in conflict, it is simply a matter of choosing one as the primary focus and the other as a secondary one.
Even if he misses some opportunities, Sion does not believe that the process of companionship is meaningless.
"That's incredible."
Meteria took Sion's hand and placed it on her chest, her eyes gentle and her face slightly blushing.
She whispered, "Can you hear my heartbeat?"
