Chapter 78: Chapter 77: 2 New Magic
Freid, falling through the air tried to summon one of the wyverns he had left. However, for some reason, none came to him, forcing him to use the Spatial Magic again.
"Cosmic Rif…"
But before he could finish, Freid felt constricted, and his fall stopped. Freid floating in the air was confused.
[What is happening? Why can't I move.]
Then before he knew it someone was standing in front of him. The man was wearing black clothes with white hair and a mask.
Freid sensing that he was able to speak again asked, "Who the hell are you?"
The man standing didn't answer.
"You, you are the one who trapped me like this? Unhand me now. Do you know who I am?"
Freid while questioning, bought time and tried to contact the wyverns, but to his discontentment, he was still unable. At this point, he could not ignore the fact that he might have fallen into a trap. In that case, he had no choice but to…
"Ah, ah… I will stop you there."
Freid hearing the voice looked up at the masked man.
"I know what you are thinking and too bad for you, it's not gonna happen," saying that Rihito grabbed Freid's head.
Rihito seized Freid by the head and used telepathy to read his memories forcibly.
"Uuuggghhh!!"
As Freid screamed in pain, Rihito ignored him and sifted through Freid's memories with a frown. The more he observed the inconsistencies within these memories, the clearer it became that Freid's desires had been manipulated over a long amount of time.
To clarify, the aspect that drove his wish to end the war with humans and safeguard the demon race was altered to reflect loyalty to God, obeying all of his commands without question.
As Rihito continued to observe Freid's memories, his frown deepened. After sifting through them, he turned to Freid with a sense of pity. This man, who desired more than anyone to end the war between humans and demons, had been manipulated into being loyal to the god.
"Loyal my ass, this guy was practically brainwashed."
"Sigh, so much for a loyal general only to be played by your own god."
[Well, what else did I expect from that bastard?]
Shaking his head, Rihito searched for memories of the two ancient magics possessed by Freid. Finding this information proved to be relatively easy. Freid had often used one of these ancient magics to empower monsters and bolster the military strength of the demons. As for the other magic, he had recently acquired it from the labyrinth, which made it easier for Rihito to locate the necessary memories.
From the beginning, Rihito knew that Freid possessed one of the two ancient magics he knew nothing about. The only information he had about that magic was that it allowed demons to control the monsters.
Watching through the memories, Rihito finally sees the memory and understands that the magic is called Metamorphosis Magic.
The Metamorphosis Magic is one of the seven ancient forms of magic that allows its user to manipulate any and all organic materials, including animals, plants, and even intelligent life forms. As long as the material is organic, it can be manipulated.
Rihito saw this and nodded to himself in understanding.
[This explains how the demons were able to control those monsters.]
Rihito, satisfying his curiosity about the 6th ancient magic, looked at examined memories of Spatial Magic, which was the magic he was most interested in.
As he watches the memories and learns the information about Spatial Magic his eyes widen.
"Holy shit," Rihito couldn't help but curse seeing the information.
Initially, Rihito believed that spatial magic was straightforward, simply controlling and manipulating space. This included abilities such as teleportation and the creation of pocket dimensions, along with other space-related functions. However, after witnessing Freid's memories, he realised that spatial magic was far more powerful than he had originally thought. As he delved into these memories, he was astonished to discover that spatial magic governs space and manipulates the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
"The ability to manipulate the boundaries between reality and fantasy isn't that practically reality-bending magic. Man, the ancient magic from this world is really busted." Rihito couldn't help but think that.
With that, Rihito looked at Freid bleeding all over and now felt conflicted, not because he beat him up—that was justified. He did try to kill Shea and Shizuku; for Rihito, targeting the people close to him was reason enough to kill the aggressors several times over, and Freid was no different. He just wanted to do that. But, Rihito could also see the advantages he would gain by fixing Freid's memories, thereby achieving a strong ally who would undoubtedly fight against Ehit.
"But before that, I will vent a little more…"
I glanced at Freid, who was unconscious and used telekinesis to pull him closer. Then, I employed healing magic on my hand, creating a green outer layer that covered my hand, it would heal wounds upon contact. However, it wouldn't relieve any pain.
I started Freid's 'Healing Session' with a smile that promised pain.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
As each slap hit, Freid's was visibly healing, while his face was twisting in pain, still unconscious he looked like he was having a bad dream.
Seeing him still not awake, I put a little bit more strength, slapping him harder.
I slapped him a few more times just to satisfy some of my anger.
Hajime, seeing me slapping the shit out of Fried, appeared beside me.
"What are you doing?" Hajime asked.
While continuing slapping I answered, "I am healing him. Can't you see…"
Slap!
"..."
Hajime fell silent upon hearing Rihito's response and took a second look at Freid, who was still being slapped. His healing was much slower than usual, but he was healing nonetheless.
Hajime looked at Rihito strangely, "Is this your way of torturing people."
Rihito's head snapped towards Hajime, "Oi, what are you saying, do I look like someone who enjoys torturing people."
Hajime gave Rihito a deadpan look. "Dude, do you see yourself? To anyone watching, it would seem like you're just torturing him nonstop while wearing that mask. You said you're healing him, but why isn't he waking up? I know for a fact that you can heal him instantly, so don't bother with excuses."
"You know what, you are right I was just venting," Rihito admitted.
Hajime nodded, "Yeah, I guessed so. Now finish the job. We need to get the magic of this labyrinth and head back to Ankaji and hand over the Stillstone." Saying that Hajime was ready to regroup with everyone.
"Wait, I am not gonna kill him."
Hajime stopped, furrowing his brow, he looked back, "What do you mean?"
Thinking for a moment, he had guessed something and spoke again, "What happened on that demon base."
