Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



A fireball formed and shot out toward one of the walls.

It crashed into it, creating a small explosion, yet when the smoke from it was gone, not a single scratch could be seen on the wood.

Silas had just created a spell without a magic circle.

Looking at what his spell had done, Silas didn't show anything on his face and continued to practice with this spell-creation method.

It wasn't his best creation method, but if he could perfect it, he knew exactly what he could do with it.

The thing he was about to do was not only going to help the people around him, but it would also help himself in ways the people of this planet could never imagine.

Silas might have looked like a young adult in his early 20s or late teens, but he had only spent about 12 years on Gilea.

Yet, despite having spent enough time on the planet to be called a child, he knew enough about the people in it that he could call them narrow-minded without doubting his words.

Every single person was narrow-minded.

They were all stuck in some sort of box that limited their ingenuity. That wasn't to say that they were stupid. No, they were pretty intelligent. They somehow always found a way to make life easier for themselves, even with the magic they used.

Blacksmiths without mana used a stone to inject mana into their equipment before forming a rune by manipulating their toki.

They somehow found ways to make food even more tasty than it should have been, and at the same time, they made eating food a way to cultivate.

Yet, despite that, when it came to true ingenuity, they were stuck within the mind frame that stopped them from thinking outside the box.

Magic circles, despite being quite round, were that very box.

People didn't ask questions enough, and even when they did, they were shut down in the name of religion or stupidity.

No one wanted to seem stupid or crazy, the same way many of Earth's scientists would have in the medieval ages.

It was quite sad to see, but despite not liking many of the humans on Gilea, Silas had set out to at least change the course of history.

The mages of Gilea were stuck with the thought that magic circles were all out there for many users. They were stuck with the belief that, creating any form of spell without a magic circle was impossible.

Hell, they were so stuck with that fact that even most formations made by people were made to look like magic circles.  I think you should take a look at

The church of Gilea liked to say that their 'lord' had given them the magic circle as a blessing for being a good race, but of course, that was a load of bullshit to control their people.

So, believing that magic circles were all there was to magic, they created ways to shorten the time it took to create those magic circles.

One way was creating chants that allowed them to form the circles without drawing them. After that came a generation that tried their best to shorten those chants due to how long they were, and in a way, that was the chants that people used today.

Yet, even past them came people who had such a mastery of the spell they were using that they could shorten the chant even more, while some simply shortened the chant to the point where they only had to say the name of the spell for the spell circle to appear.

The final group, usually considered the best of the best, found ways to create spells with a thought, and that was what Silas had been doing from the moment he was born until the attack on Uladia.

However, he had broken away from creating magic circles long ago. He stopped using them after killing Greed, and a few years after that, he had been using rune spells even faster than he used to use magic circle ones.

Rune spells were much easier to him now since, at the point he was in, he could create them on instinct if he had to.

The only thing he had failed to do with rune spells was merge more than two elements. It was a lot harder than one might think, unless they were trying to combine it with an element that wasn't created by the mana particle.

But for now, that didn't matter. What he was doing right now was a way of creating spells that would allow him to reach the next stage. Rune spells were efficient, but if what he did worked, spells between the first and third tiers wouldn't take any mana significant amounts of mana to use.

Actually, to him, it wouldn't even affect his mana pool since he could bring everything he used up back a second later with his natural mana regeneration.

And at the same time, it would finally break away from using complicated runes in general.

After all, while runes spells were easy to use, much thought went behind them.

In a way, using magic circles had more malleability than using rune spells. Every rune spell needed an exact direction. Breaking a rune spell to change it slightly took significantly more mana than it would take to change a single rune on a magic circle.

The energy it would take to break a single rune would be comparable to trying to break a single straw. But now, think of rune spells as a hundred straws put into a single place and somehow break them without using twisting motions. It would be close to impossible for a normal human back on Earth.

"Sigh..." Silas exhaled when he felt his mana pool reach 75% of his total mana.

He had a lot of mana, so something like this wouldn't use too much. However, the number of runes he had created in such a short time did take a significant portion even while he was continuously regenerating it.
