Chapter 526: Volume 12: Magic Flame Burning Fiercely, - 17: Competition
"So according to what you’re saying, if a Mage also trained in martial arts, or a martial artist trained in magic, wouldn’t that make up for their weaknesses and take advantage of their strengths? Then why aren’t there any real powerhouses on the Continent who practice both?"
Bayezid couldn’t help but chime in. The inability to use magic had always been the greatest regret of Dwarf warriors. For a warrior, combat at a distance was undeniably putting oneself at the mercy of Mages. Only when the advantage of distance was eliminated could warriors truly unleash their power. However, this often came at a considerable cost, and some warriors might never bridge that gap.
At most, what Bayezid could do was buy one or two crude Magic Scrolls to aid in some auxiliary enhancements, but Magic Scrolls were incredibly expensive and often disappointing in performance. After being cheated a few times, Bayezid no longer dared to try easily. If Komer could offer a good solution to this difficult problem, it would be nothing less than a blessing for all warriors.
"Where in the world is there such a thing as a free lunch? People’s energy is limited, and the talents God gave to us vary greatly. To deeply study one area already requires superb innate talent. If you want to juggle two, you’ll end up neither here nor there, accomplishing nothing," Komer shook his head, dispelling the other’s wishful thinking.
"Of course, if you specialize in one field and then appropriately practice some simple skills from another, it can indeed have a great effect at certain times. But the best it can achieve is an auxiliary effect. If you truly think you’re a prodigy who can excel in both, the end result is either going mad from obsession and dying or becoming a jack of all trades and master of none."
This speech discouraged some of the simple-minded from their fanciful delusions, but it did not eliminate the doubts in Komer’s own heart. Was he an anomaly himself?
Practicing both the opposing Dark Magic and Light Magic to perfection and even attempting to convert Original Dark Magic Power into Light Mana for free conversion, wasn’t this also a fundamental violation of Heavenly principles, something unimaginable?
But such changes seemed to be occurring in himself, so how could this be explained?
