Chapter 146- What is Spirit descent?

“I’ll start teaching you spirit magic from today.”

“Please do!”

After a week of being in bed, we finally started training in spirit magic.
However, I’d never been outside yet.
Is it a castle? I’m at a training ground that is about the size of a soccer court.

“I’m going to explain spirit descent since you seem to be able to use normal spirit magic for now.”

“Please do.”

It seems the first thing we’re doing is to talk about spirit descent.

“Do you know what exactly spirit descent is?”

“To have a spirit in your body?”

“No.”

“Eh?”

“Spirit descent.”

Doesn’t the normal spirit descent mean, as the name implies, the merging of the spirit into the body? Tiya then did a spirit descent to give me an explanation.
However, unlike my case, there’s absolutely no change in appearance.

“Normally I’m covered in shadow like this, right?”

“Yes.”

Then, in a straightforward manner, Tiya-san was covered in shadow.
Being covered by shadows, I couldn’t see her form.

“This is also good for hiding, but it wastes a lot of magic power.
So this is a bad example.”

As she said that, the shadow disappeared again.
And despite the fact of the descent, she looked normal.

“So, let’s go back to the question of what is spirits descent”

“Oh, yes.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Huh?”

I thought there would be some change since she apologized, but there was nothing strange about my body.
But when I tried to move my body to look around, I couldn’t move my body at all.

“Huh? Eh?”

But I could speak normally.
What the hell is going on?

“In the spirit descent, you can handle the attributes of the spirit that descended as you wish.”

“What do you mean?”

“Tiya can move the shadows around her as I please.”

When she said that, my body started to move on its own.
It seems that she is using my shadow to control my body.

“This is the true power behind spirit descent”

“Whoa!”

I was surprised when my body suddenly started to move freely.
I almost fell down.

“So, rather than housing a spirit, Spirit descent is more like becoming one with the spirit’s attributes.”

“So that’s how it is..”

“Try hitting Tiya a little.”

“Huh!?”

“You can hit me to your heart’s content.”

She spread her arms and was like, “Come on!” Tiya was much stronger than me, so I trusted her and punched her in the stomach as hard as I could.

“Whoa!?”

I punched her, but my arm went boom! I was sucked into Tiya’s body with a thud! I didn’t understand the situation either.
I panicked and looked behind Tiya, but my arm hadn’t gone through.
Where did my hand go?

“When applied, you can take on the same attributes as a spirit yourself.
In my case, I can become a shadow.”

Tiya stepped back and my arm came out.
I’m glad I didn’t lose my arm again…

“… But this one uses a lot of magic, so you can’t use it too often, okay?”

“Yes.”

I was overwhelmed by the depths that spirit descent involved..
You can see that the one that I did was really immature.

“By the way, each person has their own range that they can manipulate with their own attributes.”

“Huh?”

To make it easy to understand, Tiya-san seems to have a decided range where the shadows around her can be freely manipulated.
Well, surely, if you can manipulate all the shadows in the world, it’ll be too much of a cheat.

“My range is about 15 meters.”

“I have a range of five meters.”

“Tiya is 30 meters.”

No… that’s already a cheat… I thought, but it doesn’t seem so.
If it’s my shadow, it’s easy to control, but if it’s a strong monster, it gets more difficult.
However, if she can control it, she can end any enemy by turning the head off its shadow around.
I definitely don’t want to be her enemy….

“That’s why me and the Spirit King are so strong because we always have plenty of things around us to manipulate! On that note, the lightning bastard…”

“Chi!”

Emily’s spirit, Nei, complains about Zeal and he’s frustrated.
It’s true that it’s rare to find a situation where there’s lightning around.
However, there’s probably plenty of static electricity around.
The only question is how to use it….
More importantly, if I’m able to use Yug in spirit descent, will I be able to manipulate all elements within the area of effect?
