Chapter 769 - 769
After saying things like creating opportunities for you, Nangou Torajirou soon left as well.A while later, police sirens gradually approached as officers temporarily assigned to maintain urban security arrived. However, their leader hastily departed after receiving a phone call.
A superhero and Sword God clashing, with the Tyrant also involved—this was no longer something the police could handle.
This incident would likely be reported by the Alliance branch to headquarters, inevitably triggering large-scale conflicts between the Alliance and the United States.
"Let's go too."
The streets gradually became crowded, with some people rushing over fanatically. Eiji called out to Edelweiss.
Edelweiss didn't object. She picked up her bag, and the two quickly left the scene.
After moving away from the overpass, a white light flashed over Edelweiss, and her minimal-coverage armor vanished, reverting to her previous casual clothes.
I saw nothing at all—what a pity!
Eiji sighed.
"What's wrong?" Edelweiss glanced at him, puzzled.
"Nothing, just feeling like I had no visual treat today!" Eiji shook his head, full of regret.
Was he referring to the earlier maid outfit?
Edelweiss understood.
Simultaneously, subtle ripples stirred in her heart.
Was this guy so fixated on her maid outfit that his first words after the battle were about that?
Edelweiss clearly didn't understand Eiji's personality.
"By the way, how did you do that?" Eiji looked at her in amazement, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"What?"
"Your armor—how did you change clothes in one second?"
This was truly incredible!
Could it be that Edelweiss's spiritual armament wasn't just those two swords but included that armor as well?
"Oh, you mean this?" Edelweiss immediately understood and explained, "Actually, if you calm down and carefully study the power of a Magic User, you can achieve the same thing."
"How so?" Eiji became instantly interested.
"So-called Magic Users are non-human beings..." Edelweiss explained in detail.
It's been said before—Magic Users are no longer human.
This isn't an exaggerated expression but a factual statement.
After becoming a Magic User, their physical composition gradually changes, ceasing to be human.
"Magic Users transform into magical energy beings!" Edelweiss revealed astonishingly.
"Cells, fibers, various tissues... everything about a Magic User loses its original form, gradually turning into pure magical energy particles, evolving toward becoming a magical energy being."
In other words, Magic Users aren't composed of cells but of magical energy particles.
"Such a thing exists?" Eiji was deeply moved.
So "Magic Users aren't human" doesn't just mean their power overwhelmingly surpasses humans but is literal?
"Correct." Edelweiss nodded.
"Because they're gradually becoming magical energy beings, Magic Users can use their own magical energy to create highly compressed magical armor, just like I did earlier."
In other words, it's somewhat similar to altering one's own structure.
No wonder Edelweiss instantly summoned magical armor and then made it disappear just as quickly.
So that was pure magical armor, constructed by herself!
From this perspective, the existence of a Demon Human might be similar to that of a Servant, except unlike Servants who would vanish without a source of magical power like rootless duckweed, Demon Humans can still generate magical power on their own.
"Because they are both created from highly compressed magical power, the essence of Magical Armor is essentially a variant form of a Noble Phantasm."
Edelweiss defined it as such.
Indeed.
The essence of a Noble Phantasm is also highly compressed, solidified magical power.
That means the defensive power of Magical Armor is also incredibly abnormal—it probably can't even be shattered by cannon fire!
"You can give it a try too. I'll help you adjust it."
Edelweiss suggested to Eiji.
This piqued Eiji's interest, and he agreed on the spot.
He quickly calmed his mind and began channeling the magical power throughout his body.
At first, it was easy—drawing the magical power out of his body to form something like a protective barrier. But compressing the magical power into solidified armor became extremely difficult.
"The key lies in willpower. Use your will to compress the magical power."
Edelweiss provided timely guidance.
It seems that the existence of a Demon Human is inextricably linked to willpower.
Hearing this, Eiji immediately intensified his efforts. The protective barrier around him condensed and shrank, transforming into a single gauntlet that wrapped around his arm.
The surface of the armor was smooth, devoid of any carvings, and emitted a faint, hazy glow—as if made purely of condensed light. It looked as though it could vanish at any moment.
"You've already grasped the trick. All you need now is more practice."
Edelweiss praised him.
With enough practice, he would eventually be able to summon Magical Armor with a single thought, just like her.
"This consumes an insane amount of magical power!"
Eiji frowned as he looked at the gauntlet on his arm.
Just a single gauntlet had consumed nearly ten percent of his magical power. If he were to cover his entire body, he might as well sit down and let others cut him down instead of fighting.
No wonder Edelweiss's armor was so minimal—not just because of the "less clothing, higher combat power" rule, but also because this thing was incredibly magic-intensive.
"Alright, don't delve any deeper into the power of a Demon Human!"
Seeing him unwilling to stop and continuing to manipulate his magical power, Edelweiss suddenly reached out and interrupted him.
"If you keep releasing it like this and enter the state of 〈Transcendent Liberation〉, it'll be disastrous!"
"〈Transcendent Liberation〉? What's that?"
Eiji was confused but obediently gave up.
"That is the deep awakening state of a Demon Human. Once you enter that state, you'll lose your sanity. If you become addicted to it, you'll eventually lose even your sense of self and turn into a demon."
Edelweiss warned Eiji with a grave expression.
Mythologies around the world are filled with tales of chaotic demons, fiendish gods, and Magical Creatures.
According to modern speculation, those were actually Blazers who had reached the realm of Demon Humans, became addicted to the power of Transcendent Liberation, and ultimately lost themselves, turning into monsters!
This made Eiji realize the seriousness of the matter and sound a warning bell in his heart.
Overall, the power of a Demon Human is a double-edged sword.
While it is incredibly powerful and convenient, one must never exceed the limits when drawing upon this power—otherwise, they might face eternal damnation!
"I understand."
Eiji clicked his tongue.
So even Demon Humans aren't as free and unrestrained as I imagined!
"Speaking of which, actually... um..."
Edelweiss suddenly spoke up, unusually showing a hesitant and awkward expression.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing such a rare reaction, Eiji couldn't help but find it amusing.
She paused for a moment, as if having made up her mind, her eyes growing resolute.
"Actually, when I resigned, the manager gave me that outfit!"
She clutched her bag, fingers twisting the thin straps.
The entire outfit was inside this bag—from the stockings and garters to the hairband and hair ties, not a single piece was missing.
"Do you want... to take photos?"
"Let's go!"
"Right now?!"
