Reincarnation Band Magician

"Is the Golden Country here?"

"Hmm... huh? Mahat is here too?!"

The boss jumped up in surprise.

"Isn't that the magic of [Turning Everything into Gold]?"

"No, it's a headless dead being controlled by [Domination Magic]."

The dwarf sighed. He had seen many heroes in the past hundred years, but such an ending was really sad.

Qing looked into the distance, "Guillotine Aura..."

Golden Journey: 139, Aura

On the way back, Fulilian told her about her understanding of the Seventh Sage Aura.

"Aura is a great demon who became one of the Seven Collapsed Sages five hundred years ago. Formerly known as 'Ruler' Aura, he wields demonic magic whose principles humans cannot understand—the magic of domination.

"The 'Scale of Obedience' she carries with her is an important medium for activating magic. She places the souls of both parties on it to measure the 'quality' of the magic power. The weaker party will unconditionally obey the stronger one."

When Xiangzi heard about the effect of that magic for the first time, he opened his mouth in astonishment, "Is there such a strong magic?"

"There are two principles in the magical world: imagination, and a balance between risk and reward," Fleury glanced at her. "When you're stronger than her, you can control her at will, taking risks that will make her magic even more sinister and powerful."

"That sounds disgusting. I don't want to get close to a big demon again."

The elf looked at Xiangzi carefully until he took a step back in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Remarkable, Xiang, you actually imagined it. Even if humans constantly train their magic power every moment, they probably won't have even one-fifth of her power until they die. Xiang is really thinking about what will happen after defeating her."

This is obviously not a compliment.

Xiangzi endured it through self-cultivation.

After all, she was just a newcomer who had been exposed to magic for less than five years. It was indeed a bit of an exaggeration for her to say that she wanted to defeat the great demon clan that existed for more than five hundred years.

“However, humans are not like the demons, beasts whose classes are determined solely by magic power.

"Xiang, with your talent, after fifty years of training, your magic power will probably be one-third of hers. Although the gap is still huge, there is hope that you can kill her before she can cast that spell. In a head-on confrontation, 99% of magicians cannot resolve that spell.

"If your crystal magic could directly affect the demons, and if you could hide your aura within the army and not be captured by her random magic, you might be able to behead that Aura right now... But the risk is too high. Maybe wait another five or ten years."

Qing touched his sword and said, "Aren't there too many prerequisites? Besides, the demons all have basic close combat capabilities. My swordsmanship might not be their match."

With his current melee ability, he can only be described as Jing Ke assassinating Qin.

“So you have to exercise.

"Let's continue with that magic. Domination magic can't affect the mind. Some people with outstanding willpower, relying on their strong spirits, can temporarily control the body...

"From then on, Aura would take more cautious 'handling' of the dominated, hence his current name."

The elf looked into the distance, as if he could feel the enormous magic power of the demon.

Although it's just an illusion.

Qing also sensed it carefully.

At least now, he didn't feel anything.

Fleury continued:

"However, commands also have limitations. The dominated have no self-awareness, so they cannot actively use abilities that require thinking, such as magic. Naturally, they cannot obtain information from their previous lives.

"Otherwise, if she could allow the controlled person to fully unleash all of their former qualities, she wouldn't just be a simple Seven Broken Sages. She might even be able to establish a country and be called King Aura or something..."

It was an idea proposed by some negative humans. Those humans seemed to understand their magic better than the Seven Collapse Sages, and came up with all kinds of bizarre ideas that made people laugh.

Most of the time it's just ideas.

"In order to maximize the advantages of magic, Aura carefully selects those to be dominated. They are all outstanding warriors who can exert considerable combat power before decaying.

"Those who have had their skills etched into their bones have retained most of their martial proficiency and are fearless of harm. They are an undead legion, and a few hundred of them can directly defeat a human army ten times their size.

"From a human perspective, if Aura takes advantage of his control over magic, the threat he poses in war will far surpass the other five Seven Collapse Sages and be on par with Mahat.

"Fortunately, she's a 'fool' who enjoys war. She's cruel, arrogant, and tyrannical. She enjoys weakening and crushing her opponents bit by bit. In this respect, she's a bit too human."

She is very bad and does whatever she wants, but this badness doesn't make her do anything worse.

That's why Fulilian said she was a "stupid demon".

This concludes our review of Aura.

Even so, he is worthy of the title of "Seven Collapsed Sages".

The Seven Collapse Sages are a large demon clan directly under the Demon King. They have posed a huge threat to humans over the long years. Each of them has the powerful force to dominate the battlefield.

"Even compared to the other Seven Collapse Sages, Aura's individual strength is very weak, and it is not something that current 'humans' can surpass."

The elf's cyan eyes held a serious weight.

"Promise me, Qing, Xiang, don't go near her now. That magic is very dangerous. Everyone knows to avoid it, but her army is still expanding.

"That arrogant fellow never hides and always moves with the army. Perhaps only the most outstanding warriors could possibly rush in front of her, but a warrior..."

Innate disadvantages.

Before the breaking army could reach her, the magic of domination would be activated, and the scales of obedience would lock the demons' victory.

"Your opponents are the powerful magic of the Great Demon Clan that has existed for over five hundred years, and the heroes of the Northland for decades."

Awula, awesome.

"Given your talent, the most conservative estimate is that you'll be almost there in 20 years of training. It will be quick."

"Yeah, we will."

"Flillian is saying that again. However, in this long war, 20 years is just..."

Qing looked at Xiangzi, and the girl happened to be looking at him too.

Their eyes were equally calm and determined.

20 years, almost 4 years have passed since I came to this world, one fifth of the time.

"But with the news of two Seven Collapse Sages coming to the north, this city is probably doomed. Let's leave as soon as possible."

Fleury grumbled.

Qing's face fell.

"At least don't say such things outside, Lady Fulilian!"

"Sorry……"

……

Night, hotel room.

Contrary to the rough impression of the north, separate bathtubs and hot water are provided here. The guy at the counter said: We want to provide leisure enjoyment to the heroes who protect the city to the best of our ability.

Only when the mind is sufficiently relaxed can one have better energy to study, exercise and fight.

Come to think of it, this makes sense, but it's still a little surprising.

Anyway, after using magic to clean the container again, Xiangzi and Fulilian squeezed into the bathtub and began to take a bath comfortably＜('??`)＞.

Qingzi felt it was inconvenient to admire the beauty bathing here, so he decided to go out and enjoy the evening breeze.

There were almost no people on the streets at night, and the area outside the tavern was pitch black, with only the occasional person carrying a lantern passing by.

It was rare to see such an empty street scene. At this moment, Qing recalled a night in another world that had left a deep impression on him.

After school, I go home alone, practice my bass, cook, sit quietly in the living room, wait for the sound of high heels in the hallway, and then say welcome back to my mother.

At that time, he was not part of the bustling crowd outside, but now facing the deserted scene, he can go back at any time and chat happily with his teammates - but not now, he has to wait until they finish their bath.

I wanted to say something, but in the end I said nothing and just looked at the stars for a while.

20 years.

quickly.

PS: Here are three chapters first.

Golden Journey: 140, The Night Before the Trip

For some reason, I feel like I rarely think about the past, but I haven’t forgotten it.

A long time has passed, but when I recall the past, it suddenly seems very clear.

Nagasaki stood at the door for a while and was seen by the front desk guy.

"Guest, the water in the bathhouse has just been changed. Go take a dip and relax."

"Oh? Okay, thank you."

Originally, I was only planning to use water magic for a simple cleansing, but if conditions allowed, Qing would not refuse to enjoy it.

Finally, she returned to the room with wet hair.

The three of them were in a good mood as they all had good harvests today.

Although the shadow of the demons looms over this place, people still have to live before they really strike.

Fulilian found some interesting magic books today and gave one of them to Qing as a gift.

This was also specially prepared.

[Magic to keep cutting boards clean and mold-free]

Use this magic every time after cooking, and your cutting board will be spotless and will not get moldy even in humid weather.

If the principle can be explained, it seems that it will have some incredible applications. Unfortunately, it is still like other ancient magics. We can only use it without understanding the principle.

This is still the case with many of mankind's inventions and creations to this day.

Regardless, it was indeed a magic that suited Qing's taste, and he generously forgave Fulilian.

Then the two ladies rolled around in bed again, still brooding over the unpalatable water they had had that afternoon.

But after a few fights, Fulilian had no energy or interest left, so she lay down and let Xiangzi rub her face.

【A child? 】

Qing didn't say anything, worried about being dragged in by them and having to witness Fulilian's terrible revenge for the third time.

In addition, I need to point out that three of us will be sleeping together tonight, so we need to be more vigilant when we get to the north.

Since we had been together in the tree house before, I didn’t think it was a big deal.

The fortress was relatively safe, but the news about Qi Bengxian still made Qinghe Xiangzi a little worried.

It's just intuition.

Fulilian said nothing would be a problem.

"At least in this city, unless the lord is an idiot who opens the barrier to let the demons in, even the Seven Collapse Sages will never be able to get in."

She seemed very confident about it.

Qing looked at her and suddenly wanted to know the past of this elf.

"Because of Volame's barrier?"

"Ah."

"Can you tell me what kind of person that is, Fleury?"

"If you ask me now, I haven't thought about it, except that I think of her when I occasionally encounter a phantom ghost..."

But it’s not forgotten.

What kind of person is Volame?

Fulilian knew it all too well. Even if a thousand years had passed, the memory of that time would still be as clear as yesterday.

Her memory was so thick, like a book. When she flipped through it, she would often think of the wonderful places that had been marked and become obsessed with them.

Only by pointing to that time precisely can we recall it clearly.

"She hated demons just like me, loved magic, and dedicated her life to studying magic and defending against demons. The life of the so-called 'ancestor of magic' was so boring.
