Chapter 45 - Spirit Magic.

Inside the galaxy, an entity smaller than the smallest of celestial bodies within the Solar System floated.

Ezekiel looked at the beauty of nature within the Universe, and decided to return as many years have passed through his journey, around 350 years 25 days and 15 minutes.

Although through this journey he learned more about the magic this Universe has to offer, while also its limits, he knew Mana was a very mythical energy which could bend the laws of physics to its will. As he started returning towards Earth, the speed increased due to using the checkpoints left before, which came in handy for such situation.

While part of him enjoyed the journey, as he analyzed components and new materials he found through various meteors, other part of his brain continued analyzing everything he had learned about from Encantus, from the simplest of spells to the highest and forbidden spells, such as 'The Rising'.

Taking another Magic Orb, he continued with his experiments of the creation of a new magic, which would be if to be recorded in the Encantus as a breakthrough in the entire world. Using both his hands as a table, in the left hand he casted a 'Transformation' spell while on his right hand the 'Animation' spell.

As the magical language of this world, and the magic spells require to be casted in runes, he proceeded to combine both my making it a far more advanced spell and also more secure if ever to be known to the public.

Unlike 'Merlin Circle' which requires for the runes to be drawn in order to work, some of the simple magic spells such as, 'Animation', 'Transformation', 'Fireball'…only require the need of understanding the way of the use, which saves the time by trying to draw for each single spell.

Time for Ezekiel passed very fast, as he already finished by combining both spells into one, he named it 'Life Magic'. The good part of this Magical Energy within this Universe is that it very vast and has very free use without requiring one to pay the price for it. But the bad part comes, that probably such free and easy magic only works within this Universe, such if where to go to 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Harry Potter', it would be most definitely impossible to use this Mana, unless it is the same laws or the same Universe.

Through his journey till now, Ezekiel has already learned his lesson to not create technology much advanced to the level of interfering with quantum, dimensions, time travel…after all not all of them have the same laws, and could cause just chaos, for which also the reason his Nano-technology [Sacred Drop] and battery [I.L-0] are made limited and not depending on sources which are unique to each Universe itself.

Both his hands and returned normal, taking a deep breath, Ezekiel created a small fireball on his right hand, and using the nano-tech paper where he printed the newly developed magic, he put the fireball on top. Taking ten to twenty Magic Orbs, he started absorbing all of them as he poured from his 'Galactic Powers' to the spell.

The fireball which was floating above the magic circle, started shinning as did the 'Life Magic' too, and soon the shape of the 'Fireball' changed, it went from forming into a lion to an eagle, then continued shape-shifting in various animals, objects…Ezekiel did not interfere in its choice, as of this moment and so on, it possess its own thoughts.

Observing as the fireball continued shape shifting, the Magic Orbs's Mana continued reducing by the second, meaning the entity within the fireball requires too much Magical Energy to exist. Ezekiel finally reached inside the Solar System, but the spirit had yet to gain a form.

Entering Earth, Ezekiel landed, and the nano-tech which enveloped him became his coat, looking at the spirit, he proceeded by creating other spirits from the combination of 'Element Magic' and 'Life Magic', he named it 'Spirit Magic'. Commanding [Shadow] to dig deep at a distance of the core of Earth, he made a water spirit, electric spirit, and finally wind spirit, whom all are depending from his 'Galactic Powers'.

Suddenly the fire spirit stopped absorbing Mana, and not knowing why it changed to phoenix form. The others followed too and changed, by the water spirit transforming into a turtle, the wind spirit into a dragon, the thunder spirit into a tiger. Ezekiel knew this were the known as the Four Guardians, or Four Gods, but he didn't object their choice of formation.

[Shadow] who returned from digging underneath, became once again his nano-tech coat. Ezekiel took the small number of remaining Magic Orbs and made a connection with all the four spirits. He is sure that the magic he developed won't be stated in the Encantus, after all he used the spells he created from his 'Galactic Powers' and the spirits are life not Mana.

As for the Magic Orbs which are connected to the spirits is nothing more than a pure Magical Energy for them if ever needed, and to make sure no one steals the Magic Orbs, Ezekiel personally created various safes and also death traps while also 'Merlin Circle' which will continue replenishing the Mana within the Magic Orbs.

Looking at the time, it seems he spent a total amount of 820 years 232 days and 20 minutes from his going and coming. Which is too small of a number to have gone from such distance and having returned too. And there still remains days till the Merlinean is born, although there is no use to him.

Walking along the unknown road, Ezekiel noticed his body slowing down his evolution, although it is still changing, but the pace slowed to the minimum and even though 960 years passed, his body didn't change much, apart from getting stronger and more handsome. He remains with a strength force of 10000 Tons, which is probably nothing outside in the Multiverse.
