215 Seeing Beyond The Pas (2/2)

Their magical core can be harvested and put to better use.

Of course, Legion is not me, as such I will need to learn magic myself. Never really know when George Collins happen again, and I might not acquire Legion again.

”It is fine. I can magic now, so let us start.”

I tell Kozak before sitting down at one of the nodes. Eliana stands by my side, making sure nothing will happen to me. She is adorable.

It is actually unnecessary because of Legion. Also, I cannot really die anyway, not unless someone here on Azula is capable of harming the soul directly. Probably there is, but that person is not Kozak.

Kozak looks puzzled for a moment before taking his spot at the center of the circle. He is in a meditated position, and once he closes his eyes, his magical power skyrocketed.

The air shimmers around him as if it is heating up. Quite impressive, but I have expected it due to the damages to the surrounding. Broken trees are everywhere with craters here and there. Massive-sized craters too.

Kozak and Eliana must have fought one hell of a battle, but by the time that I arrive, victory was already within Kozak's grasp. I snatch the victory away with my assault rifle. I empty the entire clip a few times into him.

With my power, there is no need to reload as I can restore bullets back into the clips like before I even pull the trigger. It is a cheat to give myself unlimited ammo. The same cheat that I use to refill my glass of wine.

Sounds like I am using my power for menial tasks, but meh. Not like I do not use it for important thing like slaughter people.

The magical runes within the incantation circle glows even brighter than before, and I feel something is entering my mind. It is very fleeting.

”To see what he is seeing, you will have to channel your magical energy and connect with his, Master.”

Eliana instructs me since Kozak is in a deep state of sleep.

I must give credit to the man for doing this while in a hostile environment, but he probably is thinking that I do not want to kill him. If I did, he would not be here, talking to me. That is a good thing as I do not want to deal with people who doesn't know they are already dead.

Of course, I will hold my end of the bargain if he gives me something useful. I will download his entire memory later too because why not?

I close my eyes and channels my magical energy. The energies come directly out of Legion since if it is from me, Ingra will wake up and start to wreck thing inside. I do not want to deal with that damn thing right now.

An image begins to form within my mind, allowing me to see a boundless ocean with main ship of the line. From their designs and multiple masts, these are ships of the 17th to 18th Century.

This is during the Great Age of Sails.

Wait. Does that mean that this person is from Earth? He was reincarnated in Azula?

Now that is really interesting. I did not expect something of the sort even though I am sure it like does happen. I am sure anything that is plausible is also possible somewhere in the multiverse.

It is an infinite multiverse after all.

I watch Kozak, who is known as Stuart in his past life goes about his life, wishing to make enough cash to marry his sweetheart, but unfortunately, he died at sea in a storm.

The memory finally ends there, thus I did not know what happen to his sweetheart after that despite I am somewhat curious.

When I open my eyes again, Kozak is already awake. There is a great sadness on his face.

”I did not know that you are from Earth, Kozak. I am also from Earth. A version of Earth. Not the same Earth that you heralded from.”

I comment as the man looks at me.

”The only regret in that life is that I could not tell her how much I love her. I wish that one day I will be powerful enough to return to her just to tell her that but judging from the gun that you carry. It is not possible anymore. She probably reincarnated as someone else. That is the fate of all souls.”

Kozak states.

”Interesting. What would happen if you resurrect someone who has already reincarnated?”

I question, recalling all the people on Atlantis. I have resurrected them all despite thousands of years have already passed. If what Kozak said is true, then that would mean they are all soulless being.

”It depends, Master Maxwell, but as long as they have not reincarnated in the same world, it shouldn't matter.”

Kozak answers before dissipating the circle.

”I hope that you keep your end of the bargain and allow me to leave.”

Kozak adds.

I smile at him and nod.

”Of course, but I do need something from you before you go. Do not worry. It will hurt much, and you will find yourself in the same bed that you wake up this morning. Everything will be the same, but you will know better. You will be smarter.”

I tell him as the ground below him shift. Pillars of micromachines erupt and envelop him like locust as his eyes are full of shocked. Eliana is utterly shocked too.

She tenses up when Kozak screams in terror as his body is torn apart. He was instantly killed as Legion drills into his mind and consumes his memory.

”That will happen to you if you fail in your tasks, Eliana. I have been quite lenient with you, more than most actually. Do not disappoint me.”

I tell the woman before time reverses. Only on Azula and the orbiting moons. There is no need to reverse the entire universe as it would undo everything Legion has learned.

Of course, I allow Eliana and Kozak to remember what happen. Kozak is wise enough not to blab about what he knows, and Eliana is smart enough to put more security on the source of the barrier.

As for me, I decide to visit the moon for a bit. Legion has remade the green one into a paradise. As for the red one, it is brimming with weapons.

I don't need to use those weapons, but I do feel a lot safer having them there just for when I do need them. It is also simply better to have them than to use them.

”Legion. Prepare a magic chamber for me. I want to try out the same spell that Kozak did.”
