Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 67 : Aswad 14 of 15 “Nobles, Liabilities, and Ambition” (Part 01)
|About half an hour ago|
Standing in a forest of oak trees, Odo stared flat at his own glove and thought of some way to overcome the side effects of using the Reserve Body Mahia had created in the Mist World. In the concept of its use, it's a kind of process Overwrite Information ⸻ Overlays old information with almost similar new information. In other words, every time Odo died all what he developed on the body would return to its initial state when his body information was stored on the Fog World.
“Every time it dies, all the development I get will be lost. The concept is the same as a file in a computer overwritten by another file that has a similar form of data but lower composition ..”.
From the conclusions that have been obtained, Odo began to feel astonished because the process is said to be Mahia one of the bases using Aitisal Almaelumat. In the basic concept of manipulation power, there should be no addition or subtraction of information when using it. Just changing, that was the essence of the power he had obtained from the Ancient Demon King, Odrania Dies Orion.
“From how to make a Backup Body to make me able to bounce back after death, it should be using Aitisal Almaelumat, ‘kan? If my body condition goes back to the beginning, then where did all the passive development of my magic structure go?”
Odo leaned against one of the oak trees, raised his right hand high and stared flat at the back of the glove. Observing the existing runes and magic arrays, he felt that something was strange. “There is some space missing?” odo's mind lowered his hand.
Recalling the condition of his body that could now copy and use the ability of Native Overhoul, Odo immediately stopped leaning. He realized something, the reason why his body always returned to its initial condition every time he died even though the process of overwriting the information using Aitisal Almaelumat.
“At the time I come back to life, the body will be forced to follow the information overwritten from the Mist World …. Then the existing development will be residue and ..” Odo opened his left palm, using a Puddle and expelled a glowing blue liquid from the pores of the hand. From that, he re-thought of the possibilities that existed and realized it, “Once it seems, the development that is lost every time I die actually becomes Residue and is used for Magic Core Mutations.”
Odo grinned slightly, looked back at his right glove and understood why some space was missing. Most likely the storage dimension is turned into a place for the conversion process, changing the unused Residue and storing it to mutate the body after life.
“Magic essence does not include the condition of the body whose information can be stored by Auto Regen or other magic arrays, it is different from magic circuits or magic structures on my body..” Odo placed his right hand against his chin and deactivated the Puddle, then leaned back on the tree trunk behind him and muttered, “Time I lost all my magic circuits after swearing at the Ancient Demon King, only my Magic Core has not undergone any changes and only its access is lost.”
“So, yes ...” Odo breathed a sigh of relief and had fully grasped the concept of the Reserve Body which made it seem like he had many Reserve Lives. Stop leaning and stepping foot down the grass and the high reeds, he again muttered, “Mutations, changes in shape, nature, and quality. Although I can't use magic normally, but with a body that can copy the Nativ Special Code this might not be bad.”
Odo stopped stepping. Stretching his right hand forward and putting the left palm onto the back of the right glove, he began to access the magic array on the existing Storage Dimension. As Odo raised his left hand, the magic circle instantly opened four meters wide and soared into the air.
The wind that previously blew was instantly dispelled by the spatial distortion as the dimensional magic circle was ejected. Silent, silent, and even time felt as if it was moving slowly in range below the magic circle floating in the air.
Looking up and looking at the array, Odo reached out his hands and began making changes to overcome the unwanted Reset every time it died. For that matter, what he needed to do in the outline was only two.
The first is to move all magic circuits and passive developments to the core array in order to fuse with the Magic Core, so that every time he reawakens the magic circuit does not get erased. For the second, it was to create an activation route through the storage dimension so that he could gain quick access to the Magic Core after coming back to life.
To do so, Odo added the Activation Element to the dimensional magic array in the glove and in order to speed up activation. Although after reawakening his body back to its initial state, in that way Odo could access the magic circuit stored on the core array that did not change even if his body information was overwritten.
Simply put, it sort of splits up the two storages in a computer. The external arrangement is something that can be changed quickly and easily erased, while the Core is something that is patent and not affected by the Reset effect. When a Reset occurs and the body re-awakens in its initial condition, Odo simply has to copy the information of its development from the Core to the external arrangement and thus the side effects of the Backup Life can be overcome.
Finished making the change, Odo immediately closed the dimensional magic circle and re-inserted it into the glove. The magic field that was stretched out instantly disappeared and the spatial distortion vanished. The wind was blowing normally, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other was clearly heard. Activating the strengthening magic on the gloves, he quickly locked the changes in the structure that had been made.
“Hmm, now just make access to the Magic Core and move some magic circuits into there.”
Odo immediately sat cross-legged among the tall grass, fusing his palms together and making Mudra form Strength with his fingers. In that meditative position, the Mana circulation in his body instantly changed from a normal state like a central to end flow to the opposite. The energy that was supposed to spread throughout the body began to return to the center where the Magic Core was located, while carrying information in the form of a magic circuit array.
In the first five minutes, Odo's skin begins to pale. The second five minutes, cold sweat poured out and blood flowed out of the nose. In the next five minutes, his skin began to turn slightly yellow and wrinkle. Then in the last five minutes, his heartbeat quickened until his breathing gasped. Conditions such as people lacking oxygen and anemia were evident to him, then at the climax of his heartbeat stopped and died.
Odo's body collapsed backwards, sprawled between tall grasses. But within seconds, his heart was beating again and signs of life appeared from him. The two young man's eyes opened, staring flat at the dense foliage of the tree.
“It looks like it worked,” he said as he sat back cross-legged. With a small grin, his cornea briefly turned green and said, “Even I managed to copy it too. Unexpectedly at the Magic Core there is still a Perception Speculation structure ...”
Back awake, Odo jumps lightly to ensure the condition of the body. He placed his right palm onto his left chest and said, “Although it is only a prototype array of Perception Speculation and can only see a few approximations, it does not matter! Now the adjustment is only!”
Using the access he had made, Odo channeled a bit of Mana into his heart and stimulated his Magic Core to re-channel the information of the magic circuit throughout the body. In the process of about 14 seconds, his body returned to the condition before reset.
“This does not mean that my magic power is getting stronger or anything like that, only the Reset effect can be handled …. After all, this condition meant that I had to continuously connect with the Magic Core and open its flow route regularly.”
Opening the connection with the Magic Core meant letting the auras of the beings residing in his body leak out. The stronger the connection, the stronger the aura of the entities. Looking around and realizing that not a single animal was approaching, Odo let out a light sigh.
“About what other people think when they see me now? Hah, troublesome. I'd better practice controlling the connection so that the aura doesn't spill out...”
A moment of silence, Odo's mind went from one thing to another to be completed in the city of Mylta. While extending his left hand forward, he activated Puddle to return to the coastal city. But at the activation, Odo at a glance thought, “If not wrong, should now Father and his entourage have reached home, ‘kan? About the Princess could explain it or ti⸻!? Eh?!”
The glowing blue water that came out from his palm lost control. It came out in an unnatural amount, splashed tightly onto the ground surface and moved like living mucus engulfing Odo's body. That was beyond his estimation, even the Perception Speculation that he had just been able to return could not predict it.
Odo could not breathe, water entered his mouth and nose. Wanting to reach for something that was around him, yet he had been completely in the flow of displacement and there was no object that he could grasp.
Amidst the sensation of drowning due to his own strength, a shadow appeared within his visibility which began to fade. Odo knows who he is, so understand his behavior. With his consciousness slowly disappearing, he stretched his hand forward and tried to grab it.
“Damn you …. Mahia! What do you want to do ....?”
