CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 669: LOST TRUTH

Reiger, as if by divine intervention, immediately retrieved the Hermit’s Blade from the dimensional cube’s storage space and swiftly drew the blade, slashing towards the surroundings.

"Boom!"

Amidst the roar, flames swept across the land with Reiger’s slash, igniting, scorching, and destroying everything in sight.

Watching this scene, Reiger smiled, a smile of utmost joy.

"Indeed."

He confirmed his thoughts.

"This so-called transformation magic, as its name implies, modifies the magic I personally possess, causing changes that shouldn’t normally occur, granting effects that don’t originally exist."

"It’s the power that manifested after my abstract type affinity has been substantiated and materialized."

"Using this magic, I can add abstract characteristics to all my magic spells."

The abstract type affinity is a magical characteristic that only appeared after Reiger traversed to the Akasha continent.

This characteristic currently only appears in the decomposition magic taught by Yuri, allowing the magic that originally could only decompose substances, in Reiger’s hands, to even decompose magic itself.

This change once greatly shocked Yuri, who was a strategic-level magician.

Unfortunately, so far, this magical characteristic only appears in decomposition magic and hasn’t manifested in other magic spells.

This is due to the influence caused by the affinity between the user and the magic.

Yuri also mentioned that on the Akasha continent, magicians possessing abstract type affinity generally have only one or two spells with abstract characteristics, causing these few magic spells to undergo unusual changes, while the rest remain normal.

The better the affinity between the user and the magic, the more likely the abstract characteristic will appear in that magic spell; otherwise, it won’t appear.

So far, the magic with high affinity to Reiger seems to be only decomposition magic, leading to the transformation of Reiger’s decomposition magic into abstract manipulation magic, capable of decomposing others’ magic spells.

This might also be because the abstract characteristic only appears in magic from the Akasha continent. Otherwise, with the conditions of Reiger mastering over a thousand spells, he shouldn’t have no other magic with high affinity. At least due to the influence of the "Sun Wheel Pioneer," the light and heat magic, which can double the effect, definitely has a high affinity with him.

Later, Reiger got accustomed to using tiered magic and the Earth Mistake World’s blessing magic and didn’t learn other Akasha continent’s spells anymore, causing this valuable abstract type affinity to be shelved, and even decomposition magic was gradually ignored by Reiger.

No choice, though decomposition magic is strong in effect, it’s merely combat-level magic, the range is not wide, and the output is limited. For Reiger, who has mastered various magics, it’s gradually losing its utility.

Even with decomposition magic, there’s the effect of decomposing others’ magic, rendering them ineffective, but Reiger also learned the Ultimate Counterattack Technique, like [Holy Rite·Aurora], which can rebound others’ magic, both being high-level magic capable of growth, leading to the inevitable fall in the status of decomposition magic.

But now, the emergence of new magic has revitalized Reiger’s shelved abstract type affinity.

[Lost Truth] —— After activating this magic, within the effective time of the spell, Reiger can freely add abstract characteristics to thousands of spells he possesses, making them have effects absent under normal circumstances, just like decomposition magic.

Thus, when Reiger used [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] after activating the [Lost Truth], the attribute of this exceptional auxiliary magic changed.

From the original wind attribute, it transformed into the current flame attribute.

"This can no longer be called [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], can it?"

Reiger looked at the flames draped over him like a fiery cloth, muttering to himself.

"Perhaps, I should give it a new name."

"How about calling it [Flame Spirit Burning Cloth]?"

With this thought, Reiger cancelled the activation of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] —— [Flame Spirit Burning Cloth] and began to recite anew.

"[Awaken]."

It was the same chant as before.

However, this time what appeared on Reiger wasn’t fiery cloth but rampant lightning.

Endless lightning adhered to Reiger, making him look like a descended thunder god while it crackled around, blasting holes in the ground one after another.

"This shall be called [Thunder Spirit Flash Calamity]."

Reiger casually named it and began experimenting slowly.

Sometimes sands danced in the air.

Sometimes water waves filled the sky.

Other times a moonlight shawl adorned his shoulders.

This is the form of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] with added abstract characteristics.

In the state of activating [Lost Truth], Reiger can freely change the attribute of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], whether it’s wind, fire, thunder, water, earth, or ice, it’s all within reach.

The significance of this change is substantial.

Know this: auxiliary magic can pair with breathing techniques, mutually enhancing and complementing each other’s power.

With [Wind Spirit Swift Walk]’s attributes freely changeable, Reiger no longer needs to rely solely on wind breathing to pair with it but can use other higher affinity breathing techniques.

The most notable is the sun breathing, which used to conflict with [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], making simultaneous use impossible. Now, Reiger excitedly discovers that simply changing [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] to the flame attribute [Flame Spirit Burning Cloth] allows sun breathing and auxiliary magic to simultaneously activate, mutually amplifying and strengthening.

The enhancement for Reiger is obvious.

Imagine, the original [Wind Spirit Swift Walk] combined with wind breathing could achieve Reiger’s swift strike style, competing against the strong attack style by using sun breathing to fight across a level. Now, with sun breathing paired with the variant [Flame Spirit Burning Cloth], how could the power be weaker than the swift strike style?

[Flame Spirit Burning Cloth] is a variant of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], both being equally strong, yet sun breathing far exceeds wind breathing by not just one tier.

With this calculation, which is stronger, which is weaker, is obvious, isn’t it?

In the future, Reiger possibly won’t differentiate between swift strike style and strong attack style anymore, but will have any style he desires, using whichever breathing technique pairs with auxiliary magic as he pleases.

This is the possibility brought by [Lost Truth].

"It’s a pity that this magic comes with a time limit after activation."

Reiger silently felt and concluded.

"At my current level, I can maintain the efficacy for over an hour after activating [Lost Truth]."

"Once the time limit is exceeded, a cooldown period is necessary before reactivation."

"My current level’s cooldown time is probably... ten minutes?"

Having drawn his conclusion, Reiger felt at ease.

"Fortunately, my level is already high enough, with a long magic duration and an acceptable ten-minute cooldown."

As his level rises further, the duration will be longer, and the cooldown shorter.

The emergence of [Lost Truth] can be said to have added countless possibilities and practicality to Reiger’s magical abilities.

Within the time limit, all spells can transform into another appearance, it’s essentially equivalent to Reiger learning more than a thousand new spells.

"Right."

Reiger suddenly remembered an extremely important matter.

"If it’s now, can I acquire that magic?"

Thinking of a profoundly irregular magic from the original work, Reiger’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.

This, too, was an inevitable matter.

If there was to be a ranking for Earth Mistake World’s magic, then, how others would rank it, Reiger doesn’t know. But he’s absolutely placing the magic he currently thinks of in the first place.

Previously, due to its restrictive nature, this magic wasn’t given much regard by Reiger.

But now, Reiger believes that he might just learn it.
