Chapter 49
Dual Activation
Translator : PolterGlast
Currently, I cannot
use multiple magic at the same time.
Dual activation of
magic was one of the techniques that I had been thinking of practicing for some
time, but had not yet worked on.
Until I deliberately
created a dangerous situation like this, there were not many situations where I
felt the need.
Because it was more
necessary to be able to cast more powerful magic in a shorter time than to
activate two at the same time.
...Oh, by the way, the
railgun that I shoot with both hands is not strictly speaking dual activation.
That's just using a
line that I drew once to fire the railgun twice at high speed.
Wind Search is a type
of magic that remains for a while once activated, so it's not dual activation
either, and the same goes for buff magic such as Accelerate and Quick.
(For now, I guess the
goal is to use different magic with my right and left hands first)
Eventually, I would
like to use space-time magic to accelerate Judgement Ray or Gungnir, but I have
to walk step by step to do so.
The magic activation
process is divided into three stages.
The first step is to
extract mana and push it out of the body (by the way, MP is reduced at this
time, so if the magic activation is interrupted before it is completed, only MP
will be reduced and the magic will not be activated, which seems to happen
often in this Alistella).
The next step is to
add an attribute at the moment of releasing it outside the body.
And finally, the
process of transforming the mana that has undergone attribute change to create
magic.
Magic activation by
skill is similar to remembering vivid memories from the past.
It's not something
that comes to mind right away, but once you remember it, you wonder why you
forgot it.
So now I can do magic
as easily as breathing... but the attempt to activate two magics at the same
time is not working out well at the moment.
"Gunununu, I
can't do it..."
Or rather, I was
stumbling at the very first step, the process of releasing MP to the outside.
Basically, I do it
with the image of pushing out mana from the palm of my hand.
Maybe this is not
good.
I try to push out the
mana in my body to the left and right... while spreading both hands to the
side, but it doesn't work out well.
In this world, the
most important thing in magic seems to be the image.
So I, who came from
Japan where there are various creative works, should be privileged in various
ways... hmm.
An image of using two
magics at the same time.
If you think about it,
is it closer to the feeling of writing different sentences with both hands...?
"Oooooo!"
"Shut up!
Lightning Bolt!"
I burned the Sorcery
Wraith that came close to me impolitely while I was practicing magic with a
Lightning Bolt.
At that time, I
reflexively took a half-body stance as usual.
I was a little
embarrassed and tried to return to my original posture... and then I noticed.
"...Hold
on?"
That's right, I have
something that makes it easy to imagine when I'm told to use two manas at the
same time!
That's right--the way
I came up with in this different world, where I use magic with my right hand
and keep my left hand ready to return home at any time!
I take a half-body
stance again, first using magic with my right hand, and then gathering mana in
my left hand while imagining using the [Home] gift with my left hand.
Then...
"...I did
it"
I was able to pour in
two manas at the same time as easily as if I wondered what I had been
struggling with until now.
Once I get this far,
the rest is easy.
It didn't take much
time until I was able to do the second and third steps.
Thus, in less than a
day, I was able to activate dual magic.
However, there is one
problem...
"Suuuu..."
Two Sorcery Wraiths
appeared in front of me.
I concentrate my
consciousness to make a surprise attack on them, who have not noticed me.
My right hand is
normally out in front, and my left hand is... at the height of gripping a
doorknob.
At the same time as I
finished preparing for both activations, I thrust out both hands at the same
time!
"Double--Lightning
Bolt!"
"Ooooo..."
"Kohho..."
The running electric
shock simultaneously slaughtered the two Sorcery Wraiths.
While watching the
disappearing Sorcery Wraiths, I mutter to myself.
"...The pose is
lame..."
--It was true that
magic is a matter of image.
And the image of me,
who has been doing it in a two-handed style that allows me to escape to my home
at any time, has completely settled on this half-body style...
I couldn't use it
unless I prepared in this half-body posture.
The way of putting the
lowered left hand out in front again is a waste of movement... and above all,
the pose is lame.
Why do I have to be in
a half-body stance all the time during battle? If I were adventuring with
someone, this would be a complete shame play.
So, I use magic
against the Sorcery Wraiths as much as possible so that I can use dual
activation while standing normally as soon as possible--.
