Original magic + Staff #6
Yaawnnn...
My body felt rejuvenated after the good rest.
I quickly wash up before taking breakfast and ask Grandfather for a suitable area to test my ultimate skill that I figured out yesterday. ( I can't wait !! )
...
Upon arriving at the dining area, only Magnus was present as Celeste had already
left for work while Celine had returned to her academy campus.
"Grandfather! Do you have any suggestion on where to test my spells? Those large scale spell.." I questioned.
"Oh.. Grandson, you are awake! No problem, do you still remember the cliff that you fell off when we went on a picnic? I usually test my spells on the mountain next to the cliff. I will bring you there as it is quite far away."
"Thanks, Grandfather."
"No problem, anything for my genius grandson!
By the way, do you need a staff? You can use your dad's infamous staff, The Destroyer. But of course, you can change the name to suit yourself after the Blood pact. It can really help in terms of mana usage and casting acceleration, enhancing the maximum output. Personally, I use a sword as a medium since most of my spells and skills are close range."
"As you are so willing to practise, I can show you my own original spells to comprehend. Original spells are spells created after comprehending multiple complicated spell theories and realistic imaginations."
"You might be questioning is the spell, fireball an original spell? Well, technically yes. As it is a creation of one of the earliest magi to create it and passed down. And every other spell that we were also once an original spells. But the moment they were to be passed down, the original magic will only be a normal spell if used by other people, the spell's effectiveness also decreases as everyone's mana veins composition is different from one another and only the main creator's spell will always retain its strength and the title of an original spell. Therefore, lesser strong original spells are created as time goes on as it requires a large amount of research and creativity as failure may lead to injuries or even death. Moreover, some of the original spells created were just weak and did not have the growing potential as even original spells required practice.
"Well, another question then arises, how to you know the spell is an original spell? Well, the word "original" have its specialty. The moment one chants the spell including the word "original" in it, the spell will either be cast or canceled, losing its effect. When you use an original spell without chanting "original", the spell will not cast. The same goes when you cast a normal spell with the chants including "original" it will not cast. Therefore, one can easily verify the authenticity of the spell."
"Let me show you, Original spell: Fireball !" Magnus pointed his finger towards the window, but nothing happened."
"It is also one of the requirements for anyone to become a SS-RANK Adventurer, to create an original spell on par or above S-RANK."He then continued.
"All in all, it is a lot better for you to create one yourself. Since you are a genius, I expect you can achieve this much in the near future."
Magnus finally finished explaining.
Without wasting any time, Magnus brought the Lafiel's family heirloom, the Destroyer and warped us to the cliff after finishing our breakfast.
...
"Whooshhh..." Upon arriving at the cliff, a cool breeze blew by, displaying the altitude of our positions.
"This is perfect. Grandfather, can you show me your original spell now?" I murmured.
"Sure, kid. Just letting you know that my element is space, which is one of the rarest element in world. So, you better buck up and witness my brilliance." Magnus gradually lifts up his own blade.
"Huff..... Devour the mana, devour the time, devour the light, devour it all....
(The gusty wind which was blowing endlessly suddenly stopped, followed by a sudden temperature change, resulting in a freezing cold surrounding.)
(..Pin drop silence)
"Original spell: World End."
Magnus whispered, Slashing his long sword facing the once destroyed mountain before sheathing it back to its scabbard.
... in a millisecond
A large dimensional crack, black and blue in colour, suddenly appeared on the mountain, tearing and breaking through it as if crumpling a piece of paper.
"Crekkkrakckk!!!" The once destroyed mountain was even further destroyed with boulders tumbling onto each other, crumbling the entire mountain, recreating a mountain landslide.
"ZEHHaahaha!! What do you think of my wonderful original magic?" Magnus questioned.
"Simple Amazing, I don't think the mountain was even an opponent, see how utterly ruined it became!" I replied in awe.
"HAHAHAhaha, of course I can even damaged the strongest metal ever existed, Zynite !! Now, show me what you got, but before that make a blood pact with the Destroyer by giving it your blood on the crimson orb and give it a nice name."
I held the Destroyer in hand, admiring its majestic and exquisite appearance. A highly detailed staff, made out of the strongest wood from the World Tree, Yggrasill and personally crafted by the best weapon smith, Krator. Around it coiled a double helix dark red colour vine, handpicked from the World Tree, further enhancing its magic amplifying capabilities coupled with a crimson red orb on the tip of the staff.
I bit my fingertips, placing it on top of the orb, dripping a drop of blood onto it, making me the owner. I then whispered with a smile.
"From today onwards, you will be Chunchunmaru."
Hearing my voice, the staff glowed while my grandfather started cursing me.
" Whhatt the sh**t did you called it?? Chunchunmaru.. Are you out of your mind!!
What name is that ??? It sounds so cringe and weak?? The infamous Destroyer which later became CHUNCHUNMARU ??? Do you think people will take you seriously after hearing that name?? Arghh it doesnt matter anymore.. You do you, I can't change the past...Now show me what you are trying to do with it." Magnus raged with a scowl face.
"Hahah, Of course I am going be casting my own original spell!" I chuckled while walking confidently towards the edge of the cliff.
