Was there really any need to make such a fuss over comprehending an Origin Magic?
Everyone here should at least be an Origin Mage, shouldn't they?
"Anyone else?"
Fighting these people was actually pretty interesting.
Lu Cang emerged from his state of comprehension.
He had the level 5 Death Priest's spiritual feedback to thank for it. If his spirituality had been just a little higher, perhaps he could have directly comprehended other people's skills.
Just like Iz, who could directly grasp the magic other people cast.

Aegimiss seemed to have found something amusing.
