Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!-Chapter 737 - Learning Magic
-----
"Reinforcement Magic!"
"So you call the power of songs as magic…!" said Manationia.
"You just realized it?" sighed Octo.
"Well, yeah…" sighed Manationia.
In the world of Eden, magic had another name, Songs! This was because the people here, after The Fall, sing to conjure magic, and therefore it was attributed that such power was brought by songs.
However, it has already been seen that there are people that can conjure magic without singing, but it is often attributed that they're still "doing some melody" or whatever.
But the true form was obviously just magic! Spells! That sort of stuff!
"And now! You're going to learn the good stuff, magic! Reinforcement Magic is the bare bones of magic, you're going to use it to basically make you invincible!" said Octo.
"Eh? That's possible?!" asked Manationia.
"Of course it is! Okay, listen well because I hate to repeat myself, but basically, Reinforcement Magic is using Mana into your body and reinforcing it, making it stronger, the basics are enhancement of your metabolism, bones, muscles, bloodstream speed, thought process, enhancement of the five senses, and even the ability to hit very hard by enhancing certain body parts to their limits." Said Octo.
"B-But I am a little girl, how can I do such a thing?!" asked Manationia.
"You got the mana and the magic power, it's totally possible. You could even make your skin and feathers harder than any metal at this point, you just need to learn and do it." said Octo.
"W-Whew…" sighed Manationia.
"Now, now, let's do it slowly, one step at a time… For now, practice Metabolism Acceleration." Said Octo.
"H-How do I even conjure that?" asked Manationia.
"Hmm, simple, just think about making your body stronger, gather mana around your body, and say "Metabolism Acceleration"." Said Octo.
"O-Okay…"
Manationia closed her eyes tightly and began to gather mana around her body.
FLASH!
She had so much mana that it was coming out of her body like an enormous ocean!
"Ngh…"
"Come on, gather it up! Gather it up!"
"Okay…!"
Manationia began to gather the mana and then…
"Metabolism Acceleration!"
…
"Nothing happened!" she cried. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
"Wait a bit." said Octo.
"Huh?"
RUMBLE!
"Ungh?!"
Suddenly, Manationia felt her entire body rumble!
Her heart began to beat incredibly fast, pumping blood across her body at an incredible speed.
All her senses were enhanced. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
She felt like she was seeing everything slowly.
Even Octo spoke slowly.
"You… did… it…! Wow… just this single… spell already enhanced… all your power…. this is insane… My creators… really can create quite the monster…" sighed Octo.
"W-What?" Manationia asked, she couldn't even understand him well as he spoke very slowly.
"Hm, you must be seeing everything slow around you… Try to move towards the tree over there as fast as possible, run for it!" said Octo.
FLASH!
In a single second, Manationia flew towards the nearby tree and reached it in a mere instant!
"Wow! You're amazing! Great!"
Octo celebrated as Manationia quickly dispelled the spell over her body and fell over the floor while tired.
"Ugh, I thought I was going to have a stroke… What the heck was that?!" she sighed.
"That was the amazing power of Spells. Now, time to make some more!" said Octo.
"Sigh…"
Manationia was then forced to use Muscle Enhancement, Physical Strength Enhancement, Bone Reinforcement, Skin of Steel, Five Senses Enhancement, and so on.
After around three hours, she had mastered all these spells, and more.
But she felt quite tired, her body wasn't used to this pressure.
"You're good but your body is way too weak, we need to also strengthen it, how about you do some Mana Cultivation? Utilize your Mana to slowly force your body metabolism to increase, your muscles, skin, bone, and more will naturally grow stronger, like permanently having the spells on your body but passively." Said Octo.
"That's possible?!" asked Manationia.
"Yes, try it, make it as if you were conjuring them all at the same time, but only use around two tens of the actual mana, make your body used to the pressure, and it will absorb it and assimilate the power, basically you'll exercise without actually exercising." Said Octo.
Manationia did just that, and because she was a genius, she could use the power of the spells passively. Her body gathered them and maintained them passively, slowly using their power to nourish her body.
"Hmmm…?! Now that I've mastered them and use them this way, I think it feels better." Sighed Manationia.
"You think so? Well that means you're getting the knack for it, girl! Now time to hunt- WOW! Look at that, that's your first prey." Said Octo.
"Huh!?"
Manationia and Octo looked to the left, a massive creature emerged from the trees, it was around 10 meter tall, and had a massive shell, with gigantic elephant-like foot, but they were in fact tentacles adapted to be like them, which were actually six.
The monster had two other enormous tentacles in front, and two big eyes looking at her.
It had white skin with red and blue markings around its body.
The body was marked with scars, it was a male Elephant Squid Snail, seemingly rather experienced in battle. It seemed to be alone.
"GRRUUUUOOOHHHH!!!"
The creature immediately charged at her as it saw Manationia as a threat by being on its territory!
"Uwaaa! T-That's a giant Titanosquid!" she cried.
"Fight it only with your physical strength!" said Octo.
"Whaaaaaat?!" cried Manationia.
"Do it! Do it!"
"HYAAAA!"
Manationia rushed forward desperately, as the gigantic Titanosquid greeted her with a strong body slam!
BAAAMM!!
"GEEHH…!"
Manationia cried in pain as she was thrown into the nearby tree, crashing over it and cracking it in half!
BOOOM!!!
"Uggh…"
She had taken no injuries whatsoever, the enhancement made her very hard to break, however, it still hurt.
The Titanosquid looked at her for a moment and thought she was dead.
However, it still wanted to check, and extended its two tentacles towards her…
"Ugh… I am not giving up…!"
"!!!"
The Titanosquid realized the girl was not dead yet, as she jumped towards it!
