Destruction Magic

Thus, over the next few days, Duanmu Huai devoted his energy to studying the Human Magic System.

Although Duanmu Huai himself was unfamiliar with the Human Magic System, ultimately, it was merely another way of using Psychic Power. As an Inquisitor, he still had a good understanding of how to use Psychic Power.

So all he needed was the theory behind the Human Magic System.

However, he had to admit that this theory was indeed somewhat extraordinary.

Anyone could imagine that people died and fires went out. But humans were sentient creatures, and even their imaginations were subject to certain conditions.

Those conditions were reason and instinct.

Take Frieren's previous attack on Duanmu Huai, for example—she could indeed imagine what armor being pierced looked like. Anyone who had seen a similar scene could form such an impression.

But reason did not work that way. In Frieren's rational mind, she had already determined that Duanmu Huai's armor was extremely tough and difficult to destroy.

It was like choosing between instinct and reason. As rational life-forms, Magic Users naturally relied more heavily on their reason and judgment.

As a result, Frieren's subconscious mind would lean heavily toward "this armor cannot be destroyed" rather than "this armor can be destroyed."

And so, her magic was ultimately unable to pierce or destroy Duanmu Huai's armor.

The same applied here.

Everyone knew that water could extinguish fire.

But when faced with an erupting volcano, could you still imagine water putting out the flames?

If you could still maintain that belief, then you could truly extinguish a volcano.

But if you could not maintain it, you would fail.

The battles of Magic Users worked the same way. They did not merely look at an enemy's exterior; they also considered their abilities, magical power, and so on.
