Chapter 57 Magical Channels
1/1
***
Adam raised an eyebrow and if all the other items made sense to him, however, what about the Glasses of Truth item?
[Title: Glasses of Truth
Type: Item
Description: Glasses of Truth is a unique magical item that allows you to see through illusions and also has x-ray vision. Limitation: the item's power depends on the user's power].
"These are glasses...I'm going to need them." Adam nodded and pulled the glasses out of his inventory.
They looked like regular glasses with round frames. The glass was plain without any color or anything like that. When Adam put the glasses on, however, he immediately felt a change.
Looking at his hand, Adam saw his bones and even a magical channel through them. He was stunned and smiled brightly as he realized the usefulness of the item.
"If my memory serves me correctly, magic channels are different for every person. The location can vary, as well as the size... And if you know where the magic channel is located, you can quickly disarm the enemy."
What happens if you make a hole in the magic channel?
"I believe the enemy will be neutralized for the long term." Adam nodded his head.
For humans, blood is the life essence. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, keeping the body alive. Blood also plays a role in protecting the body from infection and helps to maintain the balance of the internal environment.
What about magical creatures like elves, beastmen, nymphs, and demons?
If nymphs and demons can live even after losing blood completely due to magic channels, other races would have a big problem with it. However, does this mean that nymphs and demons, and similar magical creatures are immortal?
Uh, no, I don't.
"We need to check it out." Adam took off his goggles and called up the navigation screen.
[Royal Arena] | [Hall of Meditation ] | [Skills] | [Chamber of Commerce] | [Inventory]
Adam entered the [Royal Arena] and this time chose [Sparring]. He had many creatures to choose from, but he decided to choose one of the nymphs that accompanied him on his journey to Silvana.
[Royal Arena: a location where the user can take part with creatures they have previously seen. Even if the user dies in the arena, the user will be revived]
[Current opponent: July
Level: Higher Path (7 wishes) (A+)
Attribute: Wind]
A sharp gust of wind hit Adam's face and he squinted. Because of the poor visibility and dust, Adam could only see green bright particles that sparkled brightly. Two minutes later, Adam opened his eyes as the dust and the gust of wind disappeared.
In front of him stood a girl fifteen years old in appearance. She had long green hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in a knight's robe, watching Adam's every move with a piercing gaze, and she had a much stronger consciousness than his usual opponents.
Adam frowned as this was indeed unusual. It seemed that many things in the system had changed since reaching level ten, but he could not keep track of the changes and could only try to unravel the essence little by little.
[Do you want to start a battle?]
[Yes] | [No]
Adam didn't immediately press the [Yes] button as he had some thoughts about it. In a quiet voice, Adam muttered an order to himself as he did in [Sex] mode.
"Freeze and don't fight back."
Ding!
There was a sound, something like a bell, and Adam saw July freeze in place, just as he had ordered. Adam walked over to her and after some thought, thought of the sword. И...
Poom!
A knight's sword he had seen in the movies landed on his head. Adam rubbed his head and frowned at this mode of delivery, but decided to just ignore it. He picked up the glasses he held in his left hand and put them on.
Blinking, Adam saw not quite what he expected...
"Why is she naked?" Adam frowned and took off his glasses, there was knight's armor.
He put his glasses back on and this time he was naked. Adam frowned and felt awkward. He thought, "Can't you just show me what I need?".
Crick...
The lenses of the glasses shone and Adam raised an eyebrow. He could see July in his armor now, but there were some changes and they were magical channels. Their structure was extremely complex and chaotic, and the center point was in the legs, where the reservoir was.
"This structure is... very unusual. It's like an ant's nest. My magical channels bears an almost uncanny resemblance to veins." Adam frowned and swung his sword.
At first, the blade of the sword could not penetrate the armor, but Adam used even more force and after two minutes of diligence, the armor was finally pierced. Next, Adam felt the blade penetrate something soft, apparently flesh, but there was no blood.
"What?" Adam frowned as the blade in his hand began to tremble.
Thanks to the x-ray, Adam could see that the blade had already begun to approach the center point and had already touched him and...
BOOM!
A loud explosion threw Adam back five meters and he fell to the arena floor with a thud. His clothes were destroyed by the blast, and the left hand in which he held his sword was twisted at an abnormal angle.
Because of the cloud of dust, Adam couldn't see anything and could only wait, ignoring the intense pain all over his body. Two minutes later the dust cleared.
"It's..." Adam opened his eyes wide.
A deep crater formed where July had been, and her body simply disappeared. There were green particles in the air, which lost their brightness with each passing second and disappeared after ten seconds.
A screen appeared in front of Adam.
[User defeated]
[Fight lasted: 4 minutes]
"That's too effective, however...something tells me it's going to be hard to pull off in real combat." Adam stood up and was surprised to find that his injuries were gone. "Hmm, all my wounds and even the pain have simply vanished as if nothing had happened. I suppose that will give me a chance to not hold back?"
Adam frowned and decided this time to summon Sierra, to whom he had given the same command. He put his glasses back on and was shocked.
"F**k..." Adam shuddered and felt uneasy. "How am I...even going to find her center point?".
During rush hour, there are a lot of cars rushing along the expressway to do their business. And they do it so fast that you can't even keep up with them. It's as if everyone doesn't even plan to let go of the gas pedal.
And... it's the same with Sierra. Her magic channels change direction every time, just like the tank. And they do it as if they can see Adam's gaze.
Once Adam sees a hint of the center point, the magical channels glow brightly and disappear for two seconds, then reappear in a completely different part of the body with an even more complex design that seems to conceal the center point along with the reservoir.
