Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 337: It's Over For Now

What choices do people make when they encounter beings who cannot be countered by the power they possess?

Do you mourn your powerlessness and beg for your life as you seek mercy from them? Or do you try everything you can, poke your opponent in the gap and run away? Or will you pull the curtain into your life yourself so that you don't give up early and suffer?

Probably a bad choice. Few humans have ever stood in distress in this wider world. You may think you've never experienced it before, but nothing is limited to combat alone.

For example, it is a kind of predicament that you encounter difficult questions that you have never studied in an exam. If that is going to be the branch that will shape the future of life, then mortal beings will be bitter.

Even when, for example, the first unknown disease that mankind encounters spreads, it is distressing. Will man do all he can to fight that disease for which no cure has been established, or will he embrace the unknown disease and follow his way to the end?

This is a very difficult issue. How can humans be right when more problems come down than they can handle? Unfortunately, nobody knows the answer to this question, and it is also a difficult question of what the correct answer is in the first place.

But if there's only one thing that's certain, it's how people deal with it when they're in a predicament.

And now Saiya, who stands in a predicament that transcends what she can handle, never tried to give up. The intrinsic world created by Morgana is bound by the rules she has laid down, and Seyya cannot use magic satisfactorily.

But even in such circumstances, Seyya is only concentrating on what she can do to hold her life together. But the situation is by no means optimistic.

Seiya, who spheres her magic to protect herself from the flames that burn around her, but the flames around her relentlessly raise the temperature inside the sphere, and an environment like a heated sauna erodes Seiya's health. Furthermore, the fever gradually deprives Seyya of her ability to think.

Seyya's consciousness grew hazy in the heat with no escape, and when he realized it, Seyya wanted coolness. However, it is the flame opposite the coolness that spreads around Seyya.

Saiya, whose use of magic is forbidden, but with the disappearance of the night attribute, the rules of the intrinsic world laid down by Morgana in the Holy Attribute can be dispelled. That way Seyya can digest the flames around her and go outside right away.

But if you do that, you will deviate from the purpose of your training. This training is meant to train Saiya's sacred attributes, and as part of it, it is meant to overwrite Morgana's sacred attributes with Saiya's sacred attributes.

Seiya tries to make the rules of the world disappear with the attributes tonight, but Seiya's reason waits near it. The body tries to exercise its night attributes in search of heat shelter, but just before exercising, Seyya's mind keeps the flesh under control.

Seiya, who knows what she intends to train, knows what it means to use the night attribute. But still, the situation was too harsh for Seyya right now.

There is no point in training if you exercise your night attributes here. On the other hand, it cannot surpass the sacred attributes of Morgana in its present strength. A predicament you can't help yourself with and reason to brake for purpose. Those two collide in a hazy consciousness.

It's an impossible situation. Humans can't easily do what no one is taught to do all of a sudden. Not to mention that if that is the rare ability of sacred attributes, it is difficult for Yuen alone to improve his abilities.

Because in the first place, only Seyya and Yua, Morgana, and Noah, the Creator, are confirmed to use the Holy Attributes in the current world. To confront Noah in it, Seyya aims to master the sacred attributes, and Morgana stands as its practice opponent. Normally, this is the kind of situation where Morgana suddenly has to teach.

Normally, this kind of training method is wrong and should be discontinued immediately. But Morgana never tries to stop it. Because I know this method is best in Seyya.

"Ugh..."

Seiya desperately thinks of the best measures in a fading consciousness, but no name comes to mind that breaks this predicament. And it was finally time for the limits to come to the flesh and for that consciousness to go away.

(Seiya......)

A woman's voice echoes in Seyya's head. He was an unfamiliar Seiya in that voice, but wonder and his voice reassure him about Seiya. The voice that makes you feel so nostalgic gradually envelops Seyya's consciousness, even though you shouldn't know it.

"This is..."

Morgana, who watched Seyya's training outside the intrinsic world, feels the changes within the world, as well as a joyful grin. Morgana has a look on its face as if it had been waiting for that time. No, Morgana was waiting for this moment.

Morgana did not teach Seyya how to use the sacred attributes because it was not necessary to do so. Why there is no need to teach, because Seyya already knows how to use the sacred attributes.

The first time Seyya used the sacred attributes was shortly after her awakening at the time of the example incident. Saiya was using the sacred attribute, though incomplete at that time that she had not met Morgana or Noah. How could Seyya have used the sacred attribute when she said she had not learned how to use it from anyone?

That's not all. Seyya was able to use dark attributes that she didn't even know existed until right after she woke up. When it comes to dark attributes, it would be more appropriate to say that I was not only using them, but also using them.

Then how could Seyya have used dark and holy attributes that she should not have learned how to use from anyone? The answer is because Saiya has just forgotten, and she had already learned how to use it.

In other words, Seyya already knows how to use the sacred attributes. Now he just forgets how to use it, and Seyya's mind clearly remembers that.

Knowing the upside of Seyya Awakening, Morgana thought Seyya would remember her true power when she was in danger. That is why he encouraged the awakening of the sacred attributes by driving Seyya into distress.

When Morgana thinks about that, a crack runs on the outside surface of the intrinsic world that exists in front of her. The crack widened when I looked at it, and when I realized it had reached the entire outer surface of the intrinsic world.

When the cracks formed on the outer surface emit white light, at the next moment, the outer surface is simultaneously fragmented and splashed. And it was the figure of Seyya dampening her forehead with sweat that appeared with the dazzling light from inside.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

"Apparently, you remember."

"Oh. I can finally remember"

Standing in front of a smiling Morgana was the figure of Seyya, cut open by her own power without giving up her predicament.
