Chapter 44: Projection Magic
A magic that materializes mirror images or replicas of objects that exist or have existed in reality, using the special power of a righteous friend.
In a sense, it is indeed similar to the Herrscher's ability to construct things out of thin air.
Because it is formed by energy, it cannot be materialized for a long time and can only be used immediately after being put into use. In this respect, it is slightly inferior.
Of course, whether it is the power required to control electromagnetism or the energy of this projected illusory object, it can be converted through Honkai energy to provide the necessary consumption.
Well, maybe this is what is meant by "Honkai can do anything".
This gift from Joyce was indeed an unexpected gift for Kirataka, but since he had received it, he must make good use of it in the future.
——He had known for a long time that helping Joyce and the others in that virtual world was indeed risky, and in the end, as expected, the real Otto who had been observing him tried to wipe him out completely.
But with the ability to look back as a foundation, the wishful thinking of the Schicksal bishop was of little use and ended in vain.
Rather, it allowed him to obtain quite important information - the Bishop of Schicksal was too cautious about unexpected factors that might interfere with his plan to resurrect Kallen.
Welt Joyce fifty years ago, Siegfried Kaslaner fourteen years ago...
He will eliminate all things and people that he cannot control.
Of course, even with the power and strength of Schicksal, there are always things that this Bishop of Schicksal cannot do, and the future does not always develop as he expects.
He is indeed very smart and good at scheming, but he is not omnipotent.
Whether it was the establishment and development of Anti-Entropy or Mr. Siegfried, he was unable to eliminate these unstable factors as he had expected.
Well, this time he counts as one too.
"What a scumbag..."
After returning to the recorded save point, Kirataka sighed and took off the virtual reality connector on his head.
——Since he already knew that entering now would attract Otto's attention, he would naturally avoid this dangerous future.
For now, there is no need for him to confront the Bishop of Schicksal head-on. The right thing to do is to continue to hone his abilities and wait for the right opportunity.
Anyway, the task of teaching Kiana history should be left to Mei or Bronya.
After removing the device, he looked at Kiana, who was still pondering the Homu in her hand on the bed, coughed twice, and said:
"…Forget it, let's talk about it after dinner."
"Hey, why did you suddenly change your mind again?"
Kiana was slightly stunned.
However, when she heard that she could eat first, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly got up.
............
After lunch, Kirataka said goodbye to Kiana, Mei, and others and left their dormitory.
He took a detour to the combat training room to get a prototype longsword and then returned to his dormitory.
Naturally, he needs to try out the abilities he has just acquired.
He placed the prototype sword on the table and began to experiment.
After acquiring this ability, the conditions for performing projection magic had already naturally entered his mind:
Identify creative concepts, imagine the basic framework, replicate constituent materials, imitate production techniques, empathize with growth experiences, and reproduce the accumulated years.
Originally, it should take quite a long time to practice and even require insight into all the components of the weapon in hand to complete the projection. But maybe it is because this ability comes from Joyce's gift; he is more precise when performing the projection.
Perhaps, it is similar to Joyce's uniqueness as the original physiological Herrscher. As long as he touches it with his own hands, he can perfectly understand the other party's structure and usage.
Of course, it is also possible that this prototype sword was not complicated in structure, so it succeeded in one go.
Soon, a longsword exactly the same as the original appeared in Kirataka's hand.
He tried to make the two swords hit each other to confirm whether the projected sword was just a facade.
As a result, although the performance of the projected fake object is indeed slightly worse, it is still enough to be used in actual combat.
Kirataka waved his hand and the projected weapon dissipated.
Now that he has confirmed that he can project weapons, his next step is to start looking for weapons that can actually be used to project and fight.
The strength of the prototype weapons is far from enough and can only be used as objects for practicing abilities.
If he wants to really use it in battle, he needs other materials.
In this Honkai world, when it comes to weapons that are powerful enough...it is naturally the Divine Key.
——Theoretically, he should also be able to project a false Divine Key out of thin air and use it like the Herrscher or Void Archives.
And there are indeed several Divine Keys in St. Freya Academy.
For example, Theresa's Oath of Judas, and Fu Hua's Key of Domination, and Fenghuang Down.
However, Fu Hua would not easily take out the Divine Key in the academy. After all, such a dangerous and powerful weapon as the Divine Key is not useful here.
Therefore, Kirataka probably needs to think of a way to find an opportunity. It would not be good if he behaved too deliberately.
As for Theresa...as a transmitter, she basically carries the Oath of Judas with her wherever she goes, so she has all the opportunities in this regard.
Therefore, Kirataka plans to find an opportunity to touch Judas and try to copy it.
Anyway, this matter has been settled for now.
Kirataka then opened his mobile terminal and logged into his private email account.
A new email is listed.
"It's Raven's reply..."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the content sent by the other party:
"I can help you find the location and information of Raiden Ryoma. Depending on the situation, I can also provide you with some other help, as long as the price is right. As for the reward, I will talk about it after I get the specific information."
She really agreed.
Well, after all, it's not a job involving murder or arson. It's just using the World Serpent's intelligence network to find someone. It's probably a pretty easy job for Raven.
"Huh... and then..."
Otto is indeed an enemy that needs to be dealt with in the future, but compared to him, there are more urgent and closer guys at the moment.
For example... I'm afraid the "anti-entropy invasion" event won't be long before it happens?
Cocolia, who failed to capture Raiden Mei in Nagazora City, will not give up so easily.
In order to take Mei away, she is about to order the Welt series of clones to attack St. Freya Academy.
He had to be prepared for this.
