chapter 27
Breath of the Sun
Leon needed a re-establishment of the concept of magic theory before inventing quantum magic.
For example, what is magic?
How does magic respond to human mental waves, and how does magic occur?
One of the most important concepts there was about this ‘mental wave’.
The cause of magic and the power that generates magic.
In other words, since the origin of magic is this mental wave, it was necessary to understand and move on to the spiritual wave in order to blossom a magical civilization in the modern world.
As a scientist who learned quantum physics, Leon believed that everything in the world interacted as matter.
Human emotions and mental states are only phenomena that occur due to chemical reactions such as hormones caused by external stimuli.
If so, isn’t this ‘mental wave’ also a material?
According to the material wave theory proposed by French theoretical physicist Louis de Broglie, all matter in the world has two sides of particle and wave nature. said to be
If so, it is assumed that this ‘mental wave’ may have the same particle properties as matter in some aspect, so a virtual particle is assumed.
It was a particle that Leon himself named Lielon after his mother, and it was the content that Wonhyung Lee was studying until just before his death.
Even so, Leon felt that he had turned himself into a monster just before he was beheaded by the idiot.
depravity of the soul.
The phenomenon that something that makes up Leon’s soul condenses and changes into another form.
That must be the true nature of the Manastone, a mineral that can only be extracted from the body of a monster.
In other words, Rielon is the particle that makes up the soul.
However, assuming that was the case, a question was bound to arise.
If the soul is a material that exists scientifically, where does it reside in living things?
Lyon initially thought that a substance called ryelon could only occur in the brain, which could make decisions about living things.
But I soon realized that I was wrong.
This is probably because he recalled the fact that among the monsters infected with magic, there were also insect-type monsters and plant-type monsters without brains.
Nevertheless, they harbor the manastones that are the crystals of Rielon.
In other words, it was the fact that even monsters without brains had souls.
So, Leon downregulated the conditions under which Rielon could exist.
Even if there is no brain, is there at least a ‘nerve’ that can reflect one’s intentions through actions?
Plants do not have brains, but neurotransmitters do exist.
Studies have shown that glutamate forms calcium waves when an external stimulus such as an insect gnaws at leaves triggers the production of chemicals that can chase insects away.
This allowed Leon to come up with an answer.
‘The soul does not arise only from the brain, but is composed of the nervous system of the whole body.’
Only after reaching this conclusion was Leon able to define ‘Martial Arts’, the martial art of the Radiant Continent that deals with Aurors.
The ability to deal with magical powers as an unconscious neural activity independent of the obvious conscious mind, such as the functioning of the brain.
“So far is Reeves’ Auror breathing method, Breath of the Sun.”
Leon, who had been taught the secret of the martial art from Tina, had to organize the contents in his head for a long time.
Most of the secrets were not easy to understand, as they were full of rhetoric that seemed to catch floating clouds like when Leon first learned magic a long time ago.
But Leon knew what that meant.
“So you mean to create a mental conditioned reflex?”
There is one very famous experiment on conditioned reflexes.
aka Pavlov’s dog.
An experiment in which if you ring a bell every time you feed a dog, you will salivate even if you ring the bell without food in the future.
Martial arts was a conditional reflex that gave meaning to each one’s actions and sounded a mental alarm.
At this time, if the martial art is successfully activated, the aurora flows through the body, and once you have mastered this to the level of conditioned reflex, you can unconsciously circulate the aura through the body just by breathing.
At this time, the realm of the uninhabited is divided according to the amount of Auror flowing through the body.
“I don’t know what you mean, but it won’t be that simple.”
yes it is
Because the act of engraving the unconscious into the body cannot be accomplished with just a day or two of training.
But apart from that, Leon was gradually gaining a better understanding of the principles of martial arts.
“Hatching encephalopathy.”
Quarreung!
At the sight of Leon, who suddenly developed magic and put lightning on her body, Tina Maple exclaimed in amazement.
“What are you doing all of a sudden!”
“I have something I want to experiment with for a moment.”
It was certainly not easy to engrave the unconscious into the body.
However, Leon had come up with a way to shorten the trial and error that would occur in the process.
Then Leon sat cross-legged with lightning around his body and began to recite the phrase about the breath of the sun that Tina had taught him.
The act of engraving the unconscious mind into the way you breathe so that an auror flows through your body.
Leon continued to meditate for more than 30 minutes while maintaining the hatching brain motion, and soon Leon could sense the microscopic flow of aura flowing through his body.
Literally, it was a meaningless auror at a level that even ordinary people could often experience without having to learn the auror breathing technique.
However, Leon’s magical response could clearly feel the aura, and at that moment, he could also feel the nerve activity in his body.
At that moment, Leon opened his eyes.
The nerve activity generated in Leon’s body, which became a room temperature superconductor due to incubation, is accumulated in the body as electrical energy without consumption of energy.
However, Leon did not use it as his energy, but circulated it through his nervous system.
It was to induce the flow of the auror by copying and pasting the specific neural activity that created the flow of the auror by magic.
Whoa!
Then, in Leon’s fist, an energy separate from lightning, an aura, began to gather.
The flow of Aurors was cut off in the middle, and it had pooled in his fists.
But when Tina discovered it, she couldn’t help but be amazed.
“This is nonsense!”
The level that Leon reached now was 3 stars.
A stage where you can form a tangible energy by gathering Aurors in your body.
The problem was that Leon completely ignored and skipped the phases of 1 and 2 stars that spilled auras on his body.
In other words, Leon is a body that has never been trained in martial arts.
Nevertheless, he reached the level of 3 stars with just 30 minutes of training.
And the Aurors, which had been grouped in Leon’s fist, gradually expanded their territory and began to spread.
Originally, it was necessary to inscribe the unconscious into the body by repeatedly practicing the tricks obtained through instant realization while practicing for several months, at most years, or decades, but Leon omits all the processes. will be.
When an auror flow is detected while repeating the phrase Tina taught, the neural activity that created the auror flow is magically embodied without the need to implement it through trial and error.
The knights who watched Leon’s like that had their mouths wide open as if their jaws were going to fall out.
Leon, who suddenly showed the status of three stars, did not stop there, but soon began to develop into four and five stars.
Most of the knights belonging to the Cheol-Eung Knights are in their 30s.
At best, Tina Maple looked like she was in her late teens or early 20s, but considering her lifespan as a half-reeve, it was a lot more than other members of the group, and she would not be young at all.
In other words, it was said that the level of 7 stars they climbed is a level that can only be reached after at least 20 to 30 years of training.
However, in less than an hour, Leon had already reached the level of 6 stars.
‘Can this be simply described as genius?’
In fact, the members of the Knights of Cheol-eung had a problem with their origins, and none of them heard that they lacked skills.
If it wasn’t for the talent in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to overcome the limitations of my origin and join the Knights Templar.
However, Tina Maple’s astonishment was not over yet.
Although Leon was able to form the Auror, the ability to strengthen his body and move with it was another matter.
It is also because the breath of the sun, which Leon learned, produces bioenergy based on the principle of photosynthesis, so the efficiency of the human body drops dramatically.
If it is possible for an ordinary human to master the breath of the sun up to the level of six stars, he would be exhausted by the exhaustion of his body’s bio-energy just by swinging the sword with all his might.
Here, Leon performed a magic trick.
Leon already knows how to use the bioenergy production magic that uses the principle of cellular respiration, the biogenic boost.
And there is a saying that is often used when explaining the principle of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular respiration.
Of course, it is not the complete reverse order if you go into it precisely, but if you look at the reaction equation of cellular respiration and the reaction equation of photosynthesis, it looks exactly like the reverse order except for the common point that ATP is produced.
If cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water,
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose.
In other words, if Lyon was able to use the biogenic boost using the principle of cellular respiration, photosynthesis in the reverse order was not impossible.
“Photonic Boost.”
The magic that unfolded soon absorbed the magical light of the aurora generated by the breath of the sun and produced bio-energy.
The problem was the breath of the sun.
It is unknown what kind of action the unconscious imprinted on it caused, but when combined with Leon’s photonic boost, it changed the form of magic.
But the results were never negative.
Rather, it was the surprising result that Leon had expected.
‘Did Breath of the Sun recognize the photonic boost as a chloroplast?’
It was felt that the breath of the sun, which only grants the blessing to Reeves, maximized Leon’s metabolism.
“Linforce Blade.”
Leon immediately made a magic blade and cut off his forearm.
“young master?!”
Tina screamed in shock at Leon’s sudden start of self-harm, but Leon’s wounds, which immediately spattered with blood, began to heal remarkably quickly.
“Is that a blessing from the sun god……?”
Leon really succeeded in learning Reeves’ martial arts with a human body.
‘Is the master really a human being?’
At this point, even if Leon wasn’t actually human, Tina thought it would be the same, and it seemed like it could be accepted naturally.
But apart from Tina’s astonishment, Leon was interested in what was happening in his body.
‘It’s like drinking a potion, isn’t it?’
The word that comes to mind is pure potion.
A potion that uses only medicinal herbs to have the same effect as holy water with divine power.
Of course, the person who gave the blessing only changed from the sea god Primity to the sun god Flair, but if you could study and understand the phenomena inside Leon’s body, it might be possible to create a pure potion with Leon’s hands.
‘But more important than that is how quickly you learn this martial art.’
Clearly, technically, Leon achieved the achievement of six stars, but this was only a temporary state maintained while he was manipulating neural activity with the hatching brain.
Besides, this was not what Leon wanted in the first place.
A skilled body art that can completely control the transcendental reflexes of the hatching brain sinuses and the overwhelming speed of levitation.
Unlike the state of martial arts, it took a long time to master it.
‘In one year, you become strong as quickly as possible.’
So, what Leon wanted was an elixir.
A mysterious medicine that increases the talent of magic or martial arts, increases the amount of magical power, or even raises the status of the circle.
Naturally, such herbs could not be easily obtained, but Leon remembered the story he had heard from a senior soldier before returning.
The story of the discovery of an elixir in a dungeon discovered near the royal capital in the 1010th year of the imperial calendar.
The senior soldier, who was acting as an attacker at the time, had an opportunity to participate as a porter in the dungeon, but refused and regretted that choice for the rest of his life.
If he had participated in the dungeon at that time, he would have gotten the elixir and would not have been rolling on the battlefield like this now.
This year was the 1010th year of the imperial calendar, so it was a golden opportunity for Leon to obtain the elixir.
