Infinity Guardian System

Chapter 23: Hael, An Edlritch Healer or A Thief!?

[When Nyx, I believe as she is called, touched you. She said your heart was bustling with extremely pure magic right?]

The system asked as Hael's eyes furrowed in deep thinking and gave a nod.

He could truly remember how she had said his heart was rippling with magic and then proceeded to remove her hands from his chest.

[Your heart rippling with magic was due to your second bloodline's first ability, Magnifier.

It magnifies anything magic in your body. When your Nine Petal bloodline simply wished to copy Nyx's eldritch magic. Your heart, which is actually your Infinity Guardian bloodline, amplified its ability.

In the end, it copied the Peak of what she would be able to achieve in eldritch magic. And I have to say, her eldritch magic is pretty good.

Not what anyone should be capable of. I can say that by scanning those fallen eldritches' ability, and comparing it to hers. They couldn't come close to her.] The system said.

"And I manage to copy the peak of her own eldritch magic!?" Hael wondered in shock.

'With the peak of eldritch possessed.

Then perhaps, I could be said to possess one of the pret eldritch bloodline on Earth right now. All I have to do is simply grow it...' Hael thought before he moved to the lower of the panel.

-{Infinity Guardian Masteries:

--Magic Magnifier-Level 1

Automatically magnifies any magical ability in your body by double.

Cons: Might place a very heavy burden on your body due to a forceful increase to double of what your body should naturally be able to contain.

"Only a single ability?" Hael wondered to himself in confusion. That was the only ability that he had obtained from the Infinity Guardian bloodline.

[Yes. That is the singular ability that you have been bestowed...for now. You might awaken more based on your strength increase...] The system replied as Hael gave a slow nod.

"Still, three abilities to start with is more than great..." He said. Before immediately standing upright.

"How do I use them?" He asked preparing to test out the abilities, and see if everything he was seeing was either an illusion or reality.

[Which do you want to begin with?] The system replied.

"Let's see, the Eldritch transformation?"

[The Masteries of the abilities have been forcefully ingrained in your body. If you want to perform them, you only need to concentrate on the supposed image in your head.

But I must warn you, your eldritch transformation really reeks. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say] The system said before falling silent as Hael stood rigged to a place before suddenly his eyes widened in realization.

"I can't believe I almost got myself killed!" Hael said in shock.

How can he transform into an eldritch creature, in the house of Captain Aelia, whose family has been slaughtered by the very same creature that he wanted to transform into.

No matter how little, there is a possibility of her finding out due to his odor, and if that occurs, he would be deader than dead, if he didn't die by her hands first.

"But what about the Eldritch Magic, I think I can check that out.." Hael thought looking at the cons. It didn't seem like one would be able to notice him.

[True. Just try to form an image of what you think the magic should look like, should feel like. And your hands are the most outright of place to output the magic in you...] The system advised as Hael stretched out both hands to a blank space on the wall and then concentrated.

"Magic feeds off the wildest imagination. Simply imagine..." The system whispered into his head through the stale darkness, as Hael closed his eyes and tried to remember it.

To remember that burst of powerful dark magic that had ripped apart his shoulder bone from a simple contact.

It was the ability that Nyx had casted towards Captain Aelia.

There was no movement at all in the room for the next 3 minutes, creating a comical scene of Hael just stretching out his hands, and doing nothing.

5 minutes passed, and sweats started dripping down over all Hael's face. And the next three minutes passed, with Hael getting completely soaked in sweat!

Difficult, It was extremely difficult. The most difficult thing that he had ever done.

And after ten minutes, Hael slammed his back on the ground as he heaved out uncontrollably.

"I can't do it!" He gave the final verdict as he simply slept on his back and looked at the strange white ceiling on the roofing.

"I never thought it would be so hard!" Hael mused out loud as he sat up from the ground, his hands still shaking from being held out for so long.

[Hmmmm, I understand now. I take back my words about your abilities simply being in your body. It isn't, you're also like every other person with magic.

You will have to slowly learn about how to absorb Mana from the air, and also control it, starting from learning about how to revolve the Mana present in your body. And then you will learn to exterminate your Mana too. Then you should surely be able to do it...]

"Idiotic me, her ability to manipulate the magic needles, must have been due to years of constant practice. Of course it would be difficult to get it on the first try!" He said as he picked himself back up.

[Still, I had hope things would turn out differently,] The system replied as Hael smiled.

"You think, I should have been able to do it, due to the system or the powerful godlike bloodlines." Hael guessed.

[Yes.]

"Well, it only proves my father's words, overnight's success is due to endless nights of hard work. I would have to properly learn about the magic and its manipulation. Instead of just being able to do them.

Better said, I would have to work hard, just like everyone, and I don't think that's bad..."
