Magic is an indispensable form of energy in this world. It exists not only in the sky, mountains, rivers, and trees of nature, but also within every living organism, and is a manifestation of the planet's vitality.
Life is the possibility of entropy reduction, so as the embodied power of life, magic is also the power of miracles, possessing infinite possibilities.
On this planet, every living being possesses magic. Magic exists within every human, demon, demi-human, dwarf, elf, and even magical beast and wild animal. It is stored and circulates in the blood, and the amount varies depending on the level of each living being. Furthermore, the skills of each living being's class determine whether that living being has the ability to control magic.
Nen ability is a technique that allows for the free manipulation of each living being's individual life energy and the Nen energy generated by the fusion of their thoughts, creating different effects. Unlike magic, which will eventually return to the natural cycle, Nen is a power that belongs entirely to the self of life. Although it shares the same origin as magic, its nature is different.
Originally, these two forces should not interfere with, conflict with, or affect each other. However, at this moment, when Krech received the power inherited from the Sword Hero, that power resonated with Chen Hao's self-created visualization method of strengthening the soul through mental energy. This combined the two different forces with the power of the Sword Hero, merging them into one and transforming them into a completely new power.
"Kreh, what image are you visualizing?"
"It is a sword that is constantly being forged and tempered to remove impurities, strengthen its hardness and toughness, and become sharper through continuous polishing."
The visual imagery in visualization is a construction of a soul impression, and also a form of psychological suggestion. By selecting this imagery, one determines the direction in which one's soul is strengthened.
"Do the original Nen and magic still exist?"
"No...it's gone. This power has completely replaced my original spiritual energy and magic. Now I only have this one power left."
Kreeher felt the white sword light swirling around her hand, changing shape at will. She could control this power as freely as she could control Nen, which was very similar in nature to her Nen ability [Sword Aura], but also different.
No longer needing to deliberately change properties through transformation, it naturally possesses the sharpness and lethality of a sword, and the toughness and defensive power of steel. It can be directly used to enhance physical attributes, or it can be directly released for long-range attacks. The manipulation and conjugation types, which were originally weaknesses, no longer seem to be weaknesses. If trained for a period of time, they can still unleash 100% of their power.
If there's a downside, it's probably that it's no longer like Nen, which can only be seen by those who have trained in Nen. Now it's a white sword light that everyone can see with the naked eye. Also, I don't know if it's because of the magic power incorporated into it, but the feeling of controlling it is a bit heavier than before.
"There shouldn't be any problem using this power to strengthen the soul through visualization, right?"
Upon hearing Chen Hao's question, Kresh closed her eyes and meditated for a while before opening them and replying, "There's no problem. In fact, I feel that my connection with my soul is stronger. Also, my Nen ability, which used to be a matter of will, now seems to be composed of the power and life force generated by my soul."
“Kreh, your power seems to be more complex than it appears on the surface.”
Chen Hao opened the [Eye of the Elf] to observe and analyze this power. He could read that within this seemingly gentle and holy white sword light, there was a very dangerous and chilling killing intent, which made him feel a sense of danger.
"Try it, cut off one of my fingers."
Chen Hao raised an index finger at Kreeher, and his internal automatic combat operating system automatically adjusted the body's attribute allocation to a defensive bias after sensing the impending crisis.
"Um."
Kreeher nodded without much hesitation, and with a flick of her fingers, she formed a sword. A white sword light condensed into a small sword, which she then slashed across her finger as she swung her arm.
She had no reason to hesitate. After all, Chen Hao had healing magic, and he could recover from any injury. As long as he wasn't killed in one blow, he was practically immortal. A finger was nothing; it would grow back quickly.
After using the [Black Star] to annihilate several thousand soldiers of the Kingdom of Geolar and the two heroes, [Cannon] and [Gun], Chen Hao and Freya, who were traveling with him, split the experience points and raised their levels to 113 and 112 respectively.
Even with his current level 113 attributes, with most of the stats allocated to defense, he still couldn't withstand the white lightsaber's strike. His finger was instantly severed, falling onto the sofa, and blood quickly flowed from the wound.
The body's automatic combat system activated [Automatic Recovery], automatically initiating healing magic to regenerate the severed finger.
Then, Chen Hao was shocked to discover that there seemed to be some kind of residual power on the wound, preventing the healing power of the recovery magic from regenerating.
This means that if Kreeher uses this power to leave a fatal wound on him, he could die.
"Impressive... It can't regenerate directly. I think I understand what the attribute of your new power is now, Kreeher."
Chen Hao exclaimed in amazement, and at the same time used the surgical application of the healing magic to cut off the entire palm, decomposing the palm and bloodstains into basic molecules that dissipated into the air, and then regenerating a new palm from the wrist.
"It's metallic."
"Metallic properties?"
