The 1000 Year Great Sage - Chapter 10

………

Seya – …||are all humans as slow as these two? They are not even using Body Strengthening Magic… and the swordsmanship is baby’s level…knockout one… and two…|| . Weird…

Anna Well, that was fast! Why that look on your face? You seem like a child who just lost is toy!

Seya It was just too strange. They were slow, not using any Magic, and even the way they held their swords was weird…

Anna Seems that because you are always fighting with Sully and Null, your fighting skills are very high. Sully is an extraordinary fighter and you can already defeat him, so I suppose normal people like those two are not even a challenge for you…

Seya – … I suppose…. now, after burying those who died, what can we do with the ones that are still alive?

Anna These two, the ones that I caught with Water Cage and the three that you shoot with your bow… either we kill them or we bring them with us. I suppose we can tie them and lay them on top off the carriage and deliver them to the next village.

Seya Better to tie them. Can we check those Mages? There’s something that I want to confirm.

Anna What? Do you think they are still alive after those two Ice Spears?? Mine was strong, but yours was frightening!

Seya They are dead, alright. But when I sensed them, the Magic on them was strange. There was a strange Magic Flow coming from their necks… Here, what’s this?

Anna I know what those are!! They are of a very good size. I bet they are expensive. What you have there are 3 beautiful Magic Crystals.

That explains the strange Magic Flow that you felt. I think that those two were Mages of low level, but they were using Magic Crystals to increase their Magic.

Seya A Magic Crystal can be used like that? I thought that they were only used inside a Magic Tool.

Anna Normally it’s like that. For instance, a Communicator Device as a Magic Crystal inside, to work. Normally no one uses Magic Crystals to increase their Magic, because they are expensive. I think these two robbed these from someone and they were using them like that, to increase their chances of attacking people.

Seya I see…..mom, can I keep one of these? I want to study it.

Anna Let me see them They are almost out of Magic. I guess there’s no problem. You can have all of them if you like. But when they run out of Magic, you can put some of your own Magic inside of them, to fill the Crystal. There’s a special Magical Chant for that.

Seya Amazing… mom, can you show me that chant?

Anna Let me see if I remember correctly… I’m going to try Light Magic, Ok? .. Oh Light from the Goddess, hear my call! Gather on me, fill me with your light, so that I can fill with your blessing this Crystal. Crystal Refill!

Seya ||I see, it’s just a matter of using our own Magic Flow and imprinting it on the Crystal||… Let me try on this one… ||my Flow…dark…completely dark…|| … I think it’s done. And the other one… ||….fire… strong…heat….||… And another one. That’s very easy. One Magic Crystal with Dark Magic and one Magic Crystal with Fire Magic.

Anna – …… Seya… that’s just…. Every time I see you using a Magic for the first time ever, without chanting and doing it effortlessly, I always envy you… When I remember that I had to study and practice so much to be able to do this Magic…

Seya And because you studied and became so good at doing this, it’s so easy for me to learn from you.

Anna If you want, you can sell those Magic Crystals for a lot of money. But considering how rare Dark Magic is and how powerful Fire Magic can become if a Mage uses that stone, it’s better if you keep them for yourself. And don’t show or speak about these Crystals to anyone. It will bring a lot of questions.

Seya Ok mom. By the way, how do Magic Crystals appear? There’s a Magic for creating Magic Stones?

Anna No, all of the Magic Crystals are sold and dig from de depths of the mountains in the East. They all come from the Dwarfs Kingdom. And even for them, it’s difficult to find a good source.

Seya mmmhhh….. Is there a Volcano on those mountains?

Anna Its not active nowadays, but it used to be. Why?

Seya – … ||rare materials coming from inside the world? Or maybe not only that? Maybe pressure and heat also? And does Magic coming from the inside of world matter on the process?||…..hummm..

Anna What? You have a very strange and serious look on your face…

Seya Sorry, I want to try something… ||…Magic Flow… Earth Magic…creating a small rock marble on my hand… creating a rock ball surrounding the marble… applying pressure… more pressure, squishing the ball until marble size… applying heat by Fire Magic… applying more pressure…ball broke!||… let me see on the inside…ah, there it is, a small crystal!

Anna That’s a Magic Crystal???? How did you do that???

Seya Well, it’s a crystal, but I don’t know if it is a Magic Crystal. Try to put some Magic on it, mom.

Anna – no, it doesn’t fixate. It’s only a normal Crystal.

Seya More difficult than I thought… let me try again…||…Magic Flow… create a small rock marble… create a rock ball surrounding the marble… pressure… more pressure, squishing the ball… applying heat by Fire Magic… this time, putting Magic on the Marble inside… applying more pressure…ball broke!||… let me see on the inside…ah, there it is, a small crystal again! Try again mom!

Anna – Ok….. ?????? What????? It’s… a…. Magic Crystal!!! You made a Magical crystal!!! And a very good quality and size!!! How??????? That’s impossible!!!!

Seya Seems it’s possible to make them, after all. I think that mom, dad and Sully working at the same time will be able to do it. We must try this at home.

Sully will create the small rock marble and then the small rock ball surrounding the marble. Then dad will heat the ball with Fire Magic while mom put Magic power on the marble inside.

Then Sully can put more pressure on the ball until it breaks. It was how I did this one. But I did it alone since I can use all those Magic’s…

Mom – .but how did you figure this out???

Seya Crystals found in the depths of the mountains, meaning that there was more rock being created on top off rocks, pressure made by the weight, heat from the volcano, Magic coming from the inside of the world, more pressure because of continuing forming rocks… that’s what I thought…

Anna – .. that… until now no one figured out how these Crystals were formed!

There were even some people thinking that the Dwarfs used some unknown Magic to create them!

Seya That’s strange, they just needed to think a little about it. I’m going to make some more, I want to do some experiments with them when we get home.

Anna – .you… just thought all that like it was… argh!! Ok, first please use Earth Magic to dig a hole for burying these guys…
