"Magic when used by devils comes down to several key things."
Sirzechs was the teacher.
"The first, magic used by humans is based on Devil's Demonic power and God's Miracles. The way humans use magic is by applying the concept of "If I do this, then this will happen" and having a good sense for energy flow." Sirzechs explained to Naruto. He summoned his own demonic power and showed an example in his hand, by transforming it into a fire, and then turning it into lightning before ice. He ended up using his magic and showing the Power of Destruction.
Naruto hummed.
"Do you understand it?" Sirzechs heard that hum.
That sounded promising.
"So... you have to feel it... and be creative... and have an understanding of how it works... so magic is..." Naruto smiled as he thought about it. "... yeah, I think I'll be able to use magic no problem." Naruto looked at the audience they had.
Rias and her peerage were watching purely because this was a good lesson for Issei about magic, since he didn't know how to use it. Irina was frowning, and Xenovia was watching intently.
Magic was frowned on in the church, where a debate was being held on if they should be allowed to do it at all. Still, since they were trying to form a peace treaty, it only made sense that should be allowed to exchange gifts with each other freely.
"Okay... so why not try and attack me with magic, and I'll use magic to defend myself then... and if I sense your power is getting too weak, I'll stop the little magic test." Sirzechs offered with a smile. He was very curious, so very curious, about how Asia would show her understanding of how magic worked.
"Brother! That isn't fair, she's never used magic!" Rias objected to this.
EVERYONE was against it.
"It's fine, if she thinks she understands how devil magic works, then I want to see if I can help her out." Sirzechs created a barrier magic circle in his hand, and that would be the magic that he used to defend himself. It was strong enough to protect him from any attack that Asia would be capable of, since she had so little actual magic power in comparison to him.
Sirzechs blocked a magic blast that came out of nowhere.
Naruto was smiling.
"Yeah... if I do this... then this happens... yeah... NOW that is something that makes sense to me." Naruto was smiling wide as he summoned out a ball of Asia's magic power and it floated next to his head.
Rias shut up and watched.
Akeno as well.
Koneko was alarmed.
The ball a magic shot a beam at Sirzechs without losing any of it's size or shape when Sirzechs blocked the beam, and it shot another beam at him that he blocked.
'... That ball just shot 2 beam attacks without losing any potency or magic power... how does that work?' Sirzechs was very interested, since that broke the law of magic consuming magic power. He created another magic guard and blocked a second attack when 2 beams came out of the ball and attacked him from both sides. The beams faded when they made contact with his magic guard, but he couldn't help but be a little amazed.
Again.
It happened again where the magic ball would shoot out magic power in the form of a raw magic attack.
"That's impossible... you can't just shoot off a magic attack without it consuming magic power... how is she doing that?" Akeno was standing at attention. If she launched a large attack, or even multiple small attacks, she would still consume her magic power and need to recharge it. She was paying close attention now.
Every magic user was just stunned.
They could sense the magic power in Asia's body stayed the exact same, meaning that she was not fueling the magic. The magic power only dropped when she created a few more orbs of magic around her, and those orbs started to fire off magic of their own.
Sirzechs was moving his hands and dancing in place to block.
Dozens of magic beams started to get fired at him over and over again, over and over, and then more over that. His opponent had created 9 balls of pure magic power, and those balls of magic power was just shooting off an unlimited supply of magic at him and forcing him to be on a constant guard so that not a single attack would make it's way through his guard.
'Akeno is right, this should be impossible. Her magic power isn't dropping at all when she attacks... magic, no matter how weak, consumes at least some energy, but I can't sense any changes at all.' Sirzechs stepped back a few times so that he could better see where all of the attacks would come from.
He blocked 5 beams with one hand, and 8 with the other and increased the size of his magic spell guards so that he could better protect himself. When he did that though, the attacks started to come faster and faster, and more and more of them.
"How are you doing this... how does your mind work, that you can understand the concept of infinite magic like this. How are these attacks not consuming your small reserves of magic up... you've already launched hundreds of attacks." Sirzechs was now being pressed. He promised to only go on the defense, which did put him at a disadvantage, but he couldn't imagine anyone not being pressed by this.
The sheer number of attacks that refused to stop.
"I'm not the one fueling the attacks though." Naruto responded.
"That isn't how magic works, you need to use..." Sirzechs stopped when one of the beams broke through his guard, slipping through it. It grazed his suit and singed the edge of it, and he had to stop talking so that he could focus on remaining defensive. "Magic shouldn't... what is this... how are you doing this?" Sirzechs asked with a growing smile on his face.
This was amazing.
He loved this.
"I'm not fueling these attacks, nature is... my magic is just the conduit that nature is using... and I'm guiding it. I create the magic, and then I use a thing called senjutsu to draw natural energy to my magic... no matter how many attacks I fire off, it isn't me fueling them anymore. I'm borrowing the power of the universe to attack." Naruto just applied the rules of his senjutsu.
His senjutsu.
If I do this, then this will happen.
That was how magic worked, well, Naruto applied the rule of being still. His magic orbs weren't moving, so he could use them to gather natural energy for him. Each magic orb was being fuelded by infinite energy, meaning no matter how many attacks he launched, he would never run out of energy. When the energy was blocked by Sirzechs, the energy would make the energy around them more dense, which would just recycle it back into his magic attack.
The magic spheres were now launching close to 33 attacks a second.
Sirzechs was using his magic to create magic circles to block them, not just in his hands, but in the air around him.
"How does that even work... I can't even..." Sirzechs couldn't comprehend that at all.
"It just does... if I do this, then this happens... you taught me that I need a good sense. Well, I'm really good at sensing nature... and nature is really good at listening to what I want it to do." Naruto watched as Sirzechs stopped moving and was now just using floating magic circles to block. His body could not longer magic the speed the attacks were flying at, but his mind could.
The area around them was bright with magic.
"How can you... manage this?"
"I mean, all I have to do is balance nature with myself and join with it in harmony... and then after that all I need to do is micro manage all of the attacks."
"How though... are you saying that you can mentally manage the balance of all of these attacks, and control such fine energy sources, while not slipping at all..."
"Of course I can."
"Amazing!" Sirzechs believed her, he did.
'This is much easier than sharing my chakra with the Shinobi Alliance, if I can micro manage controling my chakra in thousands of people, then I can manage this too... Asia might not be able to use my power without hurting herself... but my mind isn't affected by our situation at all.' Naruto created 2 more magic balls, and they joined in on the fray of attacking Sirzechs. Now, close to over 50 attacks were being launched each second.
Each attack was not too strong on it's own, but the sheer number of them, and the way that his opponent was able to control the way each beam was flying was something to behold.
"It's so beautiful." Asia, next to Naruto, couldn't help but be slightly amazed by all the bright lights that were now starting to explode when they made contact with Sirzechs' shields.
2 more shots made it through Sirzechs' guard, and he dodged them.
When he dodged them, his eyes didn't notice 2 more shots made it through, and he had to physically dodge those as well.
'A normal human shouldn't be able to mentally manage this... what kind of raw talent does this girl have... the second I explained how magic worked to her, she just seemed to have it click... and now she was able to make such a simple, but infinitely complex magic... and she's attack with such profiency... I can't keep defending.' Sirzechs was having more and more attacks slipping through his guard. He was dodging them, they weren't quite enough to hit him, but the attacks were coming in greater numbers than what his mind could keep track of at any given time.
He could react to them, but mentally he couldn't create enough magical circles to block them all fast enough.
He was being overwhelmed by the sheer number of attacks.
"Offensive..." Sirzechs was going to say that offensive was the best defense, but the second he opened his mouth to speak, the number of attacks coming at him each second DRASTICALLY increased.
Not a small number.
Now, each second, no less than 1000 attacks were being shot out of the magic balls around Asia. Sirzechs couldn't even SEE Asia anymore, the sheer volume of attacks made her completely invisible behind them.
"Thanks Sirzechs, I couldn't figure out how magic worked, you're a great teacher! You explained it in a way that even I could understand!"
'She's more talented than even me... if I drop my guard to attack her attacks... she's attacking faster than I could charge up magic for an attack capable of wiping out all of the attacks. How is her mind capable of control the attacks of 1000 different magic sources... she's micro managing all of them at the same time.' Sirzechs created dozens of magic circles in a shell around his body to block all of the attacks coming from all of the different directions.
He had underestimated her.
He hadn't expected her, with no experience at all, to be able to understand the concept and apply it so well. It was like he wasn't teaching a teenage girl, but was instead teaching an experienced warrior of many battles.
No, she was a freak.
The human mind shouldn't be capable of managing and controlling all of those energy attacks all at once. It would take a complete freak of nature to be able to mentally keep track of each and every beam all at once.
To those watching, they were witnessing something amazing.
They didn't understand it though.
*Crack*
'How!? She's concentrating a vast number of attacks to weaken singular spots in each guard... she's figured out that she can use hundreds, thousands, of small attacks in order to weaken the magic guarding me... she's got a keen, amazing sense of battle.' Sirzechs had a split second, and he destroyed one of his own shields and flew up.
The magic beams started to chase him.
'I'm much faster than them, they can't catch...' Sirzechs smiled.
Nope.
"Spectacular!" Sirzechs watched as hundreds of beams changed directions and started to surround him, because Asia figured out where he was going. Even if the attacks weren't fast enough to catch him, there were enough of them that they could fly in different directions and surround him all the same.
He used his offensive Power of Destruction and destroyed more than half of the attacks chasing him.
The other half of the magic attacks DODGED his magic attack and kept chasing him down
Then, the half of the magic attacks that got destroyed were replaced as MORE magic attacks were launched from the infinite attack spawners. The speed of the attacks started to increase in response to the target of the attacks moving faster. The beams themselves shrank in size to gain more speed, showing that Asia was adjusting the size and shape of the attacks to match how the situation evolved.
"If I do this... then this happens." Naruto whispered as reached his hand out.
'I'm being overwhelmed... she is so much weaker than me, but she's got so much raw talent. Asia Argento, you are a prodigy among prodigies. Now, the attacks are so sharp... she's improving... each attack is now capable of breaking through my... now breaking, slicing... each attack is like a blade.' Sirzechs created magic circles to guard him as he flew around, but now EACH beam was showing they could break right through the magic.
Asia was adjusting, and adapting.
Each attack was now more dense, the natural energy was spinning and becoming vortexes that ripped through defenses. Each attack was no thicker than a pencil, but thanks to being faster, and more concentrated, packed so much more of a punch.
Sirzechs was now flying as fast as he could to evade them.
All of the attacks stopped.
The sun had risen.
A bead of sweat dripped from Sirzechs chin and fell down to the ground far below, and he looked at the rising sun with a shiver that went through his body.
'... The softer Asia personality is back in control... if this battle had gone on... would the strong Asia have... the Night Asia... would that Asia have been able... no... her control over magic had surpassed me the second she understood how magic worked... she's a genius.' Sirzechs flew down and gulped.
For a brief second, only the most brief of seconds, he felt fear when he thought about it.
He smiled and managed to play it off.
"That was amazing, you really do have a lot of talent Asia!" Sirzechs clapped his hands as his feet touched the ground. He looked over to his sister, who didn't even know that her marraige was about to be broken off... who was looking at Asia with stars in her eyes.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
That display of talent had been amazing.
"Uh... ah... I'm... I'm so tired..." Asia's nose started to bleed and she felt as if a ton of mental exhaustion set in. The second the sun rose, and control over their body switched to her, the sheer weight of all of the mental power fell to her... and she found herself lacking. She wasn't able to control the magic or manage it anymore.
She collapsed onto her butt.
'The Day Asia is nowhere near as capable as the Night Asia is at controlling such vast quantities of energy... how can the 2 different Asias be so wildly different from each other in talent?' Sirzechs watched as Asia brought her Sacred Gear up to her head and started to heal herself to relieve the stress that had accumulated during the game. '... if the Night Asia were to ever get full control... Asia would become an unstoppable monster of precision... I couldn't counter attack at all.' Sirzechs couldn't even begin to imagine it.
The limits of her potential.
At first, he underestimated her because she had such weak magic, but pretty quickly it became a situation where he couldn't risk attacking at all, because he needed to be constantly on the defense. The attacks came with such speed and such greater number, that by the time a person's brain could even begin to think of a way to counter attack, you would be overwhelmed by attacks. The number of attacks also scattered such vast amounts of magic power around that sensing the location of the enemy became impossible, and with how bright the attacks were you couldn't see Asia behind all of them.
Even if you could counter attack, each of the thousands of attacks could all dodge your counter attack and ignore it, meaning if you slowed down and dropped your defense to launch a counter, you left yourself wide open to being attacked.
It was beautiful magic.
So simple, but so impossibly difficult that he couldn't even begin to imagine how it worked.
"If I do this... then this happens... the second I said that to her, her brain managed to turn that information... into that. That wasn't even related to her Sacred Gear, she just pulled that out of her ass." Sirzechs whispered as he shivered.
He wanted her.
He wanted this raw talent for his peerage, to push her to grow further and allow her to reach her ultimate potential. If she became a devil and grew stronger, than he couldn't imagine how far she could push the realms of magic.
What she lacked in power, she made up for in something else.
He couldn't even describe what that something else was.
"Asia... can you tell the other you..." Sirzechs took a step forward, but dropped to a knee.
There was blood on the ground.
In the heat of battle, he didn't even notice it. He looked at the back of his leg, and saw that his suit had been pierced, and his tendon had been severed by one of the magic attacks. Sirzechs saw that nobody had noticed his injury, so he applied a simple illusion to make it seem like he didn't get hurt, and he forced himself to stand back up.
He looked over the rest of his body.
That was the only real injury he had, and it was so precise and small that he didn't notice it, but it had struck such a critical spot at the same time.
'Right... while she was controlling thousands of attacks at the same time, I wasn't able to respond to all of those attacks. She won't even need to become a devil... in this battle alone, she managed to injure me without me knowing it.' Sirzechs wrapped his arms around Asia.
"Uh?"
"Please, fuck my wife."
"EH!?" Asia blushed when Sirzechs whispered that to her.
Why would he say that NOW!?
Chapter End!
Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!
Note: Please remember this.
Naruto was able to share his chakra with THOUSANDS of ninja in the alliance at the same time, and control that chakra in ALL of them at the same time... and Naruto could do it while in the middle of battle.
Naruto is also the guy that, once he understands something, he masters it almost right away.
He just has to understand it, which he struggles with sometimes.
Give Naruto a good teacher, and a few days, and watch him master whatever he puts his mind to.
