97 Chapter 97 - Pledge to Protec (1/2)

Gren couldn't go back to sleep after explaining what happened to the people inside the guild.He didn't think that he killed those people but there was no other explanation that made sense.The ability looked similar to his own and his magic energy was being used.He had killed before but never without making a conscious decision to do so.If this happened because he got angry then what would happen if he got angry at someone he cared about one day?

Gren drank a glass of wine to calm his nerves.A part of him wanted to drink more and just forget about what happened but he needed to try coming up with an explanation.There were three possibilities that he could think of and all of them put the blame on his shoulders.

The first possibility is that he awakened some sort of latent power.He's supposedly the son of a goddess so this seemed plausible even if it was a bit unlikely.It didn't seem to fit with his mother's image of being a healing goddess but someone's aptitude for a specific type of magic didn't seem hereditary.As an example, Aqua was born to water mages but she was better-suited towards earth magic.

The second possibility was that his magic went out of control due to his emotions.This most likely wasn't the case since he never used magic that looked anything like that before.It shouldn't be possible to use magic that you're not familiar with in a tense situation but he couldn't say for certain if that was accurate.Weirder things had happened in the past and magic is still not fully developed in this world.

The third and most likely possibility had to do with the system.It was possible for the system to activate magic for him.It did it all the time whenever he used the pocket dimension.That wasn't technically a spell according to the system but it was close enough.There were the things that Mimi saw when he used the system; a bunch of undead arms appearing didn't seem so strange when he thought about it.

{Do you know what caused the skeleton hands to appear?}

<A magic spell was activated>

That removed the first possibility.It wasn't an ability if you needed to use a spell.

{Did you activate the magic spell?}

<No magic can be used without a User's permission>

<No permission to use magic was given by Master>

Gren didn't know if he could believe the system but, if true, that just left the second possibility.It was the absolute worst possibility since it meant that he could accidentally harm those that he cared about.

{Did I activate the spell?}

<Master's magic was used to activate the spell>

<Master did not activate the spell>

A fourth possibility?

{Do you know who or what activated the spell?}
