Chapter 126
Chapter 126
'Now, I will show you the dark magic we often use, the art of the hidden shadow".
"Yes, please."
I had been talking with Capella in my room until a few minutes ago, and when I asked him to tell me about the magic he was using, he said, "Then it will be easier to understand if you see it in person," and we moved to the training grounds.
We were now the only three people in the training grounds: me, Deanna, and Capella.
Capella slowly approached me, then squatted down, touched my shadow, and murmured,
".. undercover techniques."
As soon as Capella finished, he was instantly sucked into my shadow.
I and Deanna were surprised to see this.
The shadow he had entered remained as usual. I looked at the shadow and spoke to it.
"......, that's amazing. Is Capella in my shadow right now?"
As I finished, his eyes and mouth floated up into the shadow with a grin.
It was a little scary.
'Yes, I am. I am now hiding in the shadow of Master Rid. While I am hiding in the shadow, I can see the surrounding sounds and situations, which is one of the intelligence skills of the dark elves. From within the shadow, I can also attack by magic. Like this ...... .'
'Wow. ......⁉"
As Capella finished, black hands grew ubiquitously from my shadow.
At first it was just one, but the number gradually grew, and now there are six arms sprouting from my shadow.
It is like a horror movie.
Suddenly, I looked at Deanna and saw that she had turned unusually pale.
Could it be that this kind of thing is no good for her?
Just as I thought that, all of her hands returned to the shadows.
At the same time, Capella suddenly appeared out of my shadow.
Yeah, spooky.
As soon as he emerged from the shadow, Deanna's face tightened and she screamed, "Hyah⁉"."
She seems to be bad at ghosts.
Capella came out of the shadow, looked at me, and said, "Is this all right?
"Is this all right?"
Yes. Thank you. It's a great trick, isn't it? Can anyone do this?"
'I think it can be done if you have a clear image and a certain amount of magical power, and if you have a certain amount of dark attribute qualities. And if you , I think you can do it. However, this magic is considered a secret art in Renalute, so I would like you two to keep it to yourselves."
After he finished, he bowed his head to us.
"I see, even if you have the dark attribute, if you don't have an idea of being able to hide in the shadows, you can't use it.'
The magic is that even though you have the attribute, you can't invoke what you can't imagine.
I thought, "I might be able to do ...... too.
I thought so and asked Capella to raise her head.
"I understood. I will keep the fact of the existence of this magic only in my and Deanna's thoughts. By the way, is there something else that you are aware of when you invoke the art of shadow casting?"
'Well,...... the other thing would be an appreciation of shadows... ...... If there is light, shadows are formed. We learn that it is important to know and understand that this can also be done by the light of the stars and the moon that light up the night. Also, you can't hide in your own shadow, can you?"
Hmmm. I can understand how shadows work because I have memories of my previous life, the question is whether I can have a clear image.
Capella showed me this a while ago, so I think I can do it. Thinking this, I touched Deanna's shadow in the same way he did to mine.
I began to visualize him earlier and diving into his shadow.
Deanna looked at me with a dubious expression and muttered.
'What are you doing, ...... Master ...... Rid ......?'
As soon as I muttered, "I'm in undercover ...... ," I was sucked into Deanna's shadow.
The ground is suddenly gone.
The ground suddenly disappears and you are hit by a jolt of sensation.
When I came to, I was looking up at Deanna from the pitch black world.
She seemed to be looking at me in the shadow with a startled expression on her face.
Soon Capella also looked into Deanna's shadow, and he too had an unusually surprised expression on her face.
At that moment, Deanna shouted with concern at the shadow I had dived into.
"Master Rid, are you all right⁉"
Inside the shadow, I felt as if I were under water.
I can breathe, but the voice from outside is a little faint.
This also sounds like what you would hear when you are under water.
I see, this is terribly effective in espionage.
At that moment, I now hear Capella's voice.
Master Rid, when you step out of the shadows, jump in toward the world you see us in."
As soon as I heard Capella's voice, I did as I was told.
But rather than jumping in, it felt more like swimming to the surface of the water.
As soon as I held out my hand to the surface of the water, I felt the sensation of being sucked back in.
The next thing I knew I was standing on top of Deanna's shadow.
The two of them were rolling their eyes with expressions of astonishment.
I said to them in a surprised tone,
"Ah, ahahahaha...... is done. ......"
They stared at me silently for a moment, then let out a deep sigh together.
And then Capella opened his mouth.
"I didn't think that you had the qualities of the dark attribute. I think I understand a little bit of what the head said. ......"
"But that doesn't matter. Are you hurt, Master Rid?"
Deanna crouched down and hugged me tightly, then looked to see if there was anything wrong with my body.
I smiled and replied to her, as if to reassure her.
'I'm fine, I replied, smiling to reassure me. I'm sorry for worrying you, Deanna".
'In that case, I'm glad. ......"
She let out a sigh of relief, said, "I beg your pardon," and stood up quickly and bowed.
I made her hurry to raise her face at the sight.
It was my fault for doing that without saying anything.
I will be careful next time.
When she raised her head, I turned to Capella, smiled at her, and said, "
"Capella, tell me about your other magic."
"I understand "
Capella's face was expressionless, but the atmosphere was drawn, perhaps it was my imagination.
On this day, I learned a lot of dark spells from Capella.
◇
"... Rid-sama can't be measured by common sense. I didn't expect you to be able to learn my skills so easily."
"I'm not sure how much I can learn from Capella, but I'm sure it's because of the way he taught me. It's the result of my regular study, you know?"
I don't want even Capella to treat me out of the ordinary.
But what I learned from him about magic was very interesting.
It may be a special kind of magic, but it cannot be used without the attribute predisposition of darkness.
In other words, special magic that makes use of the characteristics of the magical attribute predisposition can create various forms depending on your imagination and imagination.
I think the person who came up with the idea that a dark elf with a dark attribute qualities might be able to "hide in the shadows" is a genius.
Magic is not about stereotypes, it is about imagining and trying things out.
Next time, I will tell Sandra about it and try to create various kinds of magic.
While I was lost in thought, Deanna called out to me as if to warn me.
"...... Rid-sama, please don't do anything too reckless. I would like you to remember the word 'weight' when you are doing something."
"What? I'm fine, Deanna. I would never do something so reckless and out of the ordinary, would I? I'll work with . Sandra when I create new magic."
"Can you ...... create new magic ......?"
Oh, I may have misspoken.
Deanna and Capella rolled their eyes at my words.
After that, they asked me a lot of questions about the details, and it was hard for me to cover it up.
