Chapter 250 Illusion
It only took Gervis half an hour to memorize "The Fundamentals of Kodo Family Martial Arts and Spells". His extraordinary memory made it as easy for Gervis to memorize as if he was copying a book. He didn't need to pause at all and he wrote fluently while recalling.
The characters that Gervis used when he was copying were from his previous life, because Gervis felt that these martial arts and spells were also precious secret books, so it was safest to write them in the characters of his previous life, at least no one in this world could understand them.
When all the records were completed, Gervis turned the notebook to the page about illusion. Gervis didn't care whether his mental power met the requirements of concentrating mental power written in the book or not. He was ready to start practicing according to the steps. Even if it really didn't meet the requirements, there would be no backlash or other consequences.
The first step in practicing this illusion is to close your eyes and then imagine the scene or character you want to create in your mind.
According to the book, the more detailed and clear you are when conceiving the scene or character, the better the effect will be. Only in this way will the illusion appear realistic when it is performed.
Gervis relaxed his mind and closed his eyes, then began to imagine a familiar character in his mind.
In illusion, characters are the easiest to cast successfully, because characters are single and irresponsible, while if it is scenery, a large area must be outlined before it can be cast.
As Gervis slowly focused his attention, he began to imagine how Alice smiled at him during the day...
One minute, two minutes... ten minutes...
Time passed quietly, and no one knew how long it had been. Gervis, who had been concentrating his attention, suddenly realized that there seemed to be an inexplicable feeling in his mind that he had caught.
It felt like there was an arm in his mind. Although the feeling was very weak, Gervis could clearly feel its existence and could control the movement of this "arm" in his mind.
"Is this what it means to concentrate mental power? To allow the illusory mental power to be controlled by the will?"
Although there were many questions in his subconscious mind, Gervis knew his most important purpose, so he controlled the "arm" and began to outline it in his mind.
First the golden hair, then the sapphire eyes, then the rosy lips…
Gervis slowly painted the most profound picture of Alice in his mind, but as he drew more lines, Gervis found it increasingly difficult to control the movement of his 'arm'.
At the beginning, it was as easy and comfortable as walking on flat ground, but as the number of lines increased, it gradually became like walking in water with considerable resistance. When Gervis finally outlined Alice's entire outline, Gervis felt like he had fallen into a quagmire, and it became difficult to control his "arm".
Outside of Gervis's mind, as the image of Alice in his mind became more and more complete, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and even the clothes he was wearing were soaked.
"Never mind! That's all for now!"
Finally, when Gervis felt that he really couldn't portray Alice any further, he gave up decisively.
Although the image in his mind was a little blurry, it had basically taken shape, with the facial features and clothing details all lifelike. Gervis felt that this was enough, after all, he was just practicing now.
After stopping sketching, Gervis still needs to inject spiritual energy into the 'Alice' in his mind. Although the picture is sketched out, it cannot take effect yet, so spiritual energy is still needed to activate it.
When the spiritual energy is fully filled, as long as Gervis moves his mind and selects the target to be attacked, he can launch an illusion attack on the target.
Of course, this illusion also has its flaws. If the mental power of the target being attacked is higher than that of Gervis, then there is a possibility of failure. However, if the mental power of the opponent is weaker than that of Gervis, then it will basically be successful.
"The spiritual energy has been filled, but there is no one to cast the spell on!"
After a moment, Gervis finally prepared the illusion, but Gervis thought of a key problem. He was in the study at the moment and there was no one to act as his guinea pig.
"By the way, I wonder if this thing will work on me!"
Gervis was reluctant to cancel the first spell that he had completed with great difficulty. After all, he also wanted to see what the illusion was like, so Gervis had a crazy idea to cast the illusion on himself.
As Gervis's mind moved, his whole body suddenly shook. In his eyes, a figure suddenly appeared in the originally empty guest room. It was his cheap wife Alice.
Alice is smiling at this moment and looks extremely pretty!
For a moment, Gervis was actually a little dazed, and he just stared blankly at 'Alice' in front of him. Of course, Gervis stared at 'Alice' in front of him so intently not just because he was greedy for beauty, but while greedy for beauty, Gervis was observing the level of his own illusion.
"What a pity! It's probably because my mental strength is not enough, the picture is a little blurry!"
After careful observation, Gervis discovered the shortcoming of his illusion, which was that it was not clear enough. Of course, this shortcoming was already foreseeable when Gervis stopped outlining.
If the real Alice is of 1080P high-definition quality, then the Alice in Gervis's illusion is of TS advance version quality.
It's okay if you see it from a distance, but if you get closer, it's a horrible sight. If there are ghost legends in this world, maybe it can pretend to be a ghost and scare people.
"Huh! But there's no need to rush. This is only my first time practicing it. I'll be satisfied if I can release it!"
"But then again! This illusion really seems to have nothing to do with fighting spirit! I think this should be a magician's spell! Haha, let's name it like this! From now on, I will be like the protagonists in those novels, practicing both magic and martial arts!"
Although he still has defects, Gervis is not disappointed. Instead, he is very happy because he has inexplicably gained an extra ability. At the same time, he also has a little fantasy in his mind.
However, there was one thing that Gervis did not understand, and that was that illusions really seemed to have nothing to do with fighting spirit. Instead, they were more like magicians' spells. However, Gervis had never heard of the existence of magicians on this continent, so he added a category to illusions in his mind.
At this moment, the illusion created by Gervis finally reached its time limit, and the unclear 'Alice' in front of him disappeared without a trace.
This 'Alice' actually only exists in Gervis' mind. Since he is the only target of the illusion attack, even if there are outsiders present at this moment, they will not be able to detect that Gervis is under an illusion.
If he wanted other people to see Alice, Gervis would have to reach the second level of illusion, being able to use illusion on multiple targets. However, with Gervis' current mental strength, he certainly couldn't do that.
"When I have energy points, I must redeem another green kiwi fruit! Then maybe I can make a movie for myself when I have some free time!"
Having witnessed the power of illusion, Gervis is still excited at the moment. This illusion has no limitations. As long as his mental strength is sufficient, even if he wants to see the planes and trains in his previous life again, it is possible.
