Solitary Sword Sovereign

The Breath

Truth has always been an enigma to Will. He still didn't quite understand what is was.

He could do it, much better than before, but he felt like a beginner firing a pistol at point blank range yet always missing. Like he was always failing. He had even managed to input Truth into spells. This was one of his proudest feats.

It meant he understood the spell matrix perfectly and executed it to its calculated limit. Special runes and characters branded by mana are the language of magic referred to as a Spell Matrix.

These usually show themselves in the form of magic circles and the like. Sometimes they are substituted or used in tandem with other methods like wands mudras and seals.

When Will fought Mein he had done something he had thought he wouldn't be able to do until he was at least level 150. He had created a True Strike through a Spell. It had happened during meditation. He was going over how he had learned the True Strike. He had thought it was a Martial Skill from harmonizing movement, qi and intent. That's when it hit him

'Movement? Is casting a spell a movement?'

Wills mind began churning at high speed at what he knew regarding spells. Will only had one source for spells. The Solitary sword Sovereign Manual. Some of the skills in there were actually created by Mages, often referred to as Magic Swordsmen.

This was Will's first meeting with a Spell Matrix. Thanks to his constant analysis and decoding, Will understood and could apply a lot of the SSS Matrix. Allowing him to learn the spells. Now it was up to his talent in the field.

Will slowly trained himself on how to inscribe a Spell Matrix on a surface. Then he learned how to inscribe a 3 dimensional Matrix in the air, became able to apply it. Will was barely able to use a few SSS spells, but he was able to decode them and break the complex spells into smaller spells he made himself. Thanks to ingenuity and some reverse engineering, Will was able to derive and create spells using the SSS matrix.

Most of them were useless that resulted in random phenomenon, some were very useful. It was only when Will raided a normal dungeon that gave him drops and learned multiple spells from multiple skill books was he now well versed.

This plus the knowledge he had researched online and received through Alice had given Will incredible knowledge. Allowing him to fuse the following skills:

By fusing these four into a Custom Spell, then infusing that Matrix of the Spell, Will was able to cast a True Spell. He had no doubt that he had achieved something incredible. And truthfully he had. Adelda was now numb to his feats and merely added this to the others, but she half expected what he had shown in the dungeon.

It was only after casting both a True Strike and a True Spell that Will noticed something. When executing either, a foreign power would generate itself from the environment, enter him and then come out.

At first Will thought that it was some sort of World Energy but it only appeared when True Strikes and True Spells occurred. This caused Will to have a bold idea.

'Perhaps Truth is a type of power. Like Intent, Modus did say there were a lot of senses...'

Will was not sure why they had to be called 'True'.

'Is it because it has reached its most orthodox form? Or maybe it has something to do with its origin?

"Haaaaaaaaaaah."

Will gave out an elongated breath and stepped up toward the pillar. It was time to take action. Resolve showed itself in the young man's eyes.

'I can't use Radiant Energy and Bloodlust, but I can use the next best things.'
