The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent (WN) Chapter 29

Making a potion that was more effective than Advanced HP Potions.

That was my research topic.

The reason I chose this topic was solely because my pharmacy level wouldn't rise anymore even when I make Advanced HP Potions.

I would make time to go to the library for the sake of my research, but I couldn't find any clues and my research came to a halt.

And then, I found a ray of light.

I received advice from an unexpected person.

Who was it? The Head Magician.

One day, I met the Head Magician at the prohibited section and he told me that all living things in this world held a different amount of magic power.

What's with that? It's the first time I've ever heard of this.

This was something he had noticed while researching and wasn't widely spread.

And so his advice to me was to observe the magical power of medicinal herbs if I want to raise the effectiveness of my potions.

It is said that the effectiveness of medicinal herbs used in potions could be increased by the magic power concentrated into it during the potion making process.

The Head Magician thought that the magic power I concentrated into potions during the manufacturing process was the reason why my potions were 50% more effective than potions made by others.

And I was told that if the medicinal herbs could retain my magic power, then the effects would probably increase.

I returned to the research inst.i.tute and tried to ask the researchers about this.

As I'd expected, there were some who knew that medicinal herbs had magic power.

However, none of them thought about preserving their magic power in medicinal herbs and they were all surprised when I told them about the Head Magician's advice.

People normally wouldn't think that the effects would increase if you put your magic power into the herbs, right?

That was why no one knew how to bestow magic onto medicinal herbs.

Well, it can't be helped if they don't know.

I just have to try various experiments.

"So won't you help me, Jude?"

"This is so abrupt. How should I help you?"

I thought that Jude, who was smiling bitterly while offering his helping hand, was a very kind person.

The first thing I confirmed with him was if he could create water that contained magic power.

If cut flowers are dipped in coloured water, then the petals would be dyed in that colour, right?

I thought about putting that into practice by soaking the herbs in water that contained magic power.

However, I didn't know how to create water containing magic power, so I asked Jude, who seemed most likely to know.

Jude had apt.i.tude in water attribute magic.

Unfortunately, he didn't know.

We tried to produce water containing magic power with his water attribute magic but it didn't go very well.

"I think that it's a good idea, but you're the one who has to produce the water, right Sei? So it's no good if it's produced with water attribute magic, right?"

"I thought that it would be fine if I thought about that later."

He said that after we tried various experiments and he was surprised when I replied with what I thought.

Jude was right, I couldn't use water attribute magic.

It was a waste to try to create water that contained magic using water attribute magic, but I thought that it would be nice as a starting point.

I gave up on trying to create water containing magic power with water attribute magic and tried to do the same thing I did when I bestowed magic to tools.

Magic can be bestowed to minerals that would become the item's core, so I thought that I could also apply that to water.

The result was a complete failure.

I did the same thing I had when I bestowed magic, but I could feel that it didn't work at all.

This is, that.

The feeling of it not working.

"Even so, it's innovate to bestow magic to water."

"Really?"

"To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen anyone try something like this before."

"Well, they don't understand the use of water with magic power, so they wouldn't try it if they don't think of its use."

When I said that, I remembered that there was a thing called holy water in games.

Was that used to attack the undead?

Games were also set so that monsters would stay away for a while.

How did one make holy water again?

Did I just need to bless it?

I felt like I heard something like that somewhere before.

So, how do you bless something?

Jude called out to me in a worried voice when I took the beaker with the distilled water and hummed.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, I was thinking about how to bless something."

"Bless?"

"Is there no holy water in this world?"

"Holy water? I haven't heard of that before."

There was no holy water in this world.

Then, blessing water might not exist either.

I confirmed with Jude just to be sure, but he didn't know after all.

It felt like it would turn into a conversation about magic and I felt that it was faster to ask the Head Magician about it.

I looked outside and the sun had gone down before I had noticed.

Time pa.s.sed by while I was doing experiments with Jude.

It would be better if I asked the Head Magician about this matter tomorrow.

We decided to stop experimenting for the day.

"Holy water?"

The next day, I asked the Head Magician about holy water during our magic lecture.

I simply asked if he knew how to bless something with holy attribute magic but he didn't seem to know anything.

I wondered if it was called something else in this world so I explained how I had arrived at this point.

I didn't imagine the Head Magician's eyes shining when I talked about the effect it had on the undead, did I?

Thus, we stopped the lecture and I told him about the concept of magic in games in my original world.

"Blessing seems like it would be able to strengthen the body as well."

"I see. Blessing has various effects in your world, doesn't it Sei?"

"Magic, itself, doesn't exist so people make it up."

"Even so, it's an interesting concept. We have body strengthening magic but we don't have any that specialise in the undead."

"Does that mean that undead demons can't be defeated by magic?"

"Not at all. We don't have specialised magic to defeat undead demons, so we usually defeat it with fire attribute magic."

The Head Magician must have noticed something at that point because he put his hand to his chin and pondered.

There was no such thing as blessing but did he remember something else?

"It's not aimed at undead demons but there is a type of magic that annihilates demons."

"There's something like that?"

"Yes. There's no details about it, but it exists."

The Head Magician had wiped his usual smile off his face and said that in a serious tone. I looked at him and gulped.

I don't think it would be any normal type of magic if only the existence was pa.s.sed down through the ages.

If it's unattributed, then I can only think of life magic, but they wouldn't conceal something as simple as life magic.

Which means that it is a completely different type of magic?

"What is it called?"

"The name also wasn't recorded. But, the person who used that magic left a record."

"Then……"

"It's a technique used by the Saint."

I knew it.

I vaguely realised that half way through the conversation.

But isn't it a problem if the details of a 【Saint】technique are unknown?

How would the Saints that come after learn the technique?

"The details of the technique aren't recorded, are they?"

"Yes, most of the records only talk about the effects of the technique and how fast it wiped out the demons."

"How did the past Saint learn that technique?"

"We don't know."

Jesus.

There wasn't any more information on the technique. We continued our lecture after that and the day ended.
