Ch 9: Magical Element
Patta…Patta…
“Pfft! Cough cough cough… Ooh! So disgusting, the Slime’s Sticky liquid is so spicy!”
Mos knelt on the broken Slime corpse, constantly spitting out the Sticky liquid remaining in her body!
The corrosive Sticky liquid was constantly burning Mos’s esophagus and Stomach, making her feel hot all over!
At this time, the voice of the Golden Finger kept coming from her mind.
【Talent: Corrosion Resistance → Corrosion Resistance I】
【Talent: Omnivore III(35%↑)】
【Talent: Minor Wound Recovery I → Minor Wound Recovery II】
“Why… cough cough cough, can the talent be activated even after the Magic Power is exhausted…”
Mos felt that her body was already empty, but the prompt sound kept ringing.
【Talent: Minor Wound Recovery II(Activated)】
Mos tentatively activated 【Minor Wound Recovery】, and as expected, a prompt sound of talent activation sounded in her mind.
However, what followed was a burst of dizziness that almost made Mos faint directly.
“This is really a great discovery… haha cough cough cough…”
Mos gave a wry smile, stood up and staggered towards the cave.
Why can she still activate her talent in a state of exhausted Magic Power?
If the key to activating the talent is not Magic Power, then what is the relationship between the power in the body and Magic Power?
The previous conclusion was not correct, and the incorrect conclusion led to an incorrect understanding of power.
Mos returned to the cave and directly kicked Little Dumpling out of the cave, then hid in the cave alone and fell into a deep sleep, muttering in her mouth:
“I need to re-clarify the relationship here, otherwise this kind of danger may occur again…”
And that’s how Mos spent another two days of rethinking and observing!
Finally completed her understanding of the power in her body!
“Sure enough!”
Mos got off the Little Dumpling Brand Mattress, raised her head and looked at the dense text on the wall!
From her own experimental data to various observations, research and guesses about the Demonic Creature “Slime”!
Looking at these data, Mos’s eyes showed a bit of brightness and excitement, and she muttered to herself:
“It all makes sense when you think about it this way, Demonic Creatures and Human Awakeners are the same, and animals are naturally the same!”
“Magic Power is not just the transformation of Mental Power, it also requires actual matter!”
Mos decided to name that substance “Magical Element”!
This is a common thing in fantasy novels, generally referred to as Magic Elements!
Although the understanding and names of Magic Elements vary in various novels, it is undeniable that Magical Element is an Extraordinary Substance!
It is an actual substance, a substance that can exert magical power after being fused with Spirit(Soul/Consciousness)!
This substance is not only possessed by humans, but also by Demonic Creatures, and even everything in the world!
The only difference is the amount of Magical Element contained in each individual.
Magical Element is a volatile substance and is the basic substance used to exert Extraordinary Power.
Taking human talents and Demonic Creature abilities as examples, it is basically the influence of Magical Element + individual Spirit.
That’s why all kinds of magical changes occur!
By analogy, the combination of Magical Element and other substances should also have different changes.
But Mos has not seen it yet, so it can only be speculation, but from this, more guesses can be deduced.
For example, Magical Element without human influence may not have characteristics.
The Magical Element possessed by each creature will carry the characteristics of the creature itself, and these characteristics often come from the talent effects possessed by the creature.
The “Dragon Might” that Giant Dragons unconsciously emit is the influence caused by Demonic Creatures or humans feeling their Magical Element.
From this, it can be deduced that Giant Dragons have abilities similar to “intimidation”.
So even if they don’t activate their abilities, the Magical Element they emit has the characteristic of making other creatures feel uncomfortable.
And Magic Power is not what Mos initially thought, representing the total amount of energy in the body.
It is a special Magical Element unique to an individual, formed after the Magical Element is transformed by the individual!
Magic Power is more like a controller, representing the upper limit of Magical Element that a creature can use!
Once this amount is exceeded, it will lead to weakness or even coma due to the exhaustion of Mental Power!
But the exhaustion of Magic Power does not mean that the Magical Element has been used up!
What is needed to activate the talent is not Magic Power, but Magical Element in essence.
So after the Magic Power is exhausted, it is actually possible to activate the talent, as long as you can withstand the weak state brought about by the exhaustion of Magic Power.
As for what will happen after the Magical Element is exhausted, Mos doesn’t know, but reason tells her that this is a very dangerous thing.
“So it was really thrilling at that time, I almost died hahaha…”
Mos laughed a few times, turned her head and looked at the Slime next to her.
【Talent: Detection(Activate)】
The next moment, several colorful streamers flashed in Mos’s eyes!
【Name: Slime(Little Dumpling)】
【Level: Bronze Level 1】
【Constitution: 2】
【Spirit: 0.1】
【Magic Power: 1】
【Magical Element: 21】
【Skills: Liquefaction, Physical Immunity, Magic Power Perception, Water Resistance, Jump, Poison Generation…】
“Sure enough, Detection can see the values I want to see.”
Mos withdrew her gaze and nodded in satisfaction.
Magic Power and Magical Element are both names set by Mos herself, and she doesn’t know what these substances are called outside.
But the Detection talent still directly used the names set by Mos, which means that the law accepts this name.
This shows that her understanding of Magic Power and Magical Element so far is correct!
“Very good, I finally figured out the power in my body, so it will be much easier in the future!”
Mos scratched the beard on her face happily, and looked at her hands, intending to see what her values were.
As the talent was activated, a new Status Screen appeared in front of Mos again.
【Magic Power: 10】
【Magical Element: 20】
“What! My Magical Element is not even as good as a Slime! I can’t accept it ahhhh!!!”
Mos looked at the revealed values and immediately shouted, she kicked Little Dumpling next to her, her face full of dissatisfaction!
Puyo! Puyo! Puyo!
Little Dumpling was kicked by Mos like a ball and bounced a few times in the cave!
Its brain, which had not yet developed intelligence, didn’t know what was happening at all. After a while, it tentatively leaned to Mos’s side and nudged her in a flattering manner.
“Humph! I get annoyed when I see you!”
Although Mos said so, she still sat back on Little Dumpling and continued to look at her Status Screen.
“Magic Power is 10 points and Magical Element is 20 points, Magic Power is the same as I estimated before.”
Looking at Little Dumpling’s Status Screen again, the total amount of Magical Element seems to be 10 times the sum of the body attributes plus the Spirit attribute?!
“Hiss… that’s not right…”
Mos felt something was wrong, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The total amount of Magical Element is the sum of Constitution plus Spirit attributes, so what does the Constitution attribute represent?
Are all the various tissues that make up the body made up of Magical Element?
“If I explain it with Magical Element contained in the body… but it’s not quite right.”
Mos muttered to herself, then shook her head again.
What exactly does the Constitution attribute represent?
Physical strength?
Body?
Magical Element?
If Class Points are added to Constitution, will the body change or will the Magical Element change?
The reason why matter is matter shows that it must have a physical form.
Mos remembered the 15 cm Slime that she killed, what happened to its corpse in the end?
“Oops, I didn’t record it in time.”
Mos tapped her head, revealing a distressed expression.
The situation at the time made her consciousness not very clear, and she could only vaguely remember that the Slime began to collapse rapidly after death.
When she went to check the next day, the Slime’s body had disappeared.
“It seems that the research on Magical Element is far from over…”
Haaaaaa~
Mos yawned and lay leisurely on the Slime, slowly falling asleep.
Puyo!
Little Dumpling seemed to sense Mos’s movements, and the light on its body gradually dimmed.
