But this doesn't mean they've spent decades sharpening their archery skills tirelessly.

The intelligent beings in this world learn a vast array of knowledge.

——Destruction School mastery: Enhances the power of Destruction School spells and reduces mana consumption. Can reduce the mana consumption for Dragon Roar, Dragon Breath, Dragon Language Magic, etc.

Isn't it?

What about my magic?

What about my huge Fireball Technique?

How has the art of the Destruction School improved, yet I haven't acquired any spells?

Wait a moment.

Within the Dimension Space, Duncan fell into contemplation and murmured: "During the Middle Ages as well, abilities were seized, the Mana Bar was enhanced, but no spells were mastered."

"Is this world the same?"

"Could it be?"

"Do I have to learn magic myself?"

Mastering the spells of the corresponding school feels like an overarching guide; Duncan has the overarching guide for the spell school but lacks any techniques (magic) as branches.

This seems somewhat unreasonable.

What exactly is magic?

The slumbering juvenile dragon snorted, releasing a breath that froze the nearby area into frost, which in the Middle Ages could be considered a minor enemy-freezing spell, akin to the Frost Ray from Dungeons and Dragons.

But dragons don't need such hassles; they are walking magic.

"Is there a possibility?"

"I might not need incantations, runes, totems, Dharma Seals, or any such things to cast spells?"

Duncan's thoughts moved.

He switched directly to Human Form No. 1, and with the consumption of magic power, a small whirlwind appeared in the palm of Human Form No. 1, its power negligible, probably just enough to blow leaves.

But who can say this isn't magic?

Duncan discovered a long-standing misunderstanding; he thought he had to thoroughly learn incantations, runes, Rune Language, etc., to cast real spells.

But in reality, his spellcasting ability is quite domineering, directly bypassing all those tools and using the most fundamental will and magic power to cast spells!

With tools, it's more efficient; without tools, he intervenes in reality, completing spells with pure magic power.

Hence, in actual performance, Duncan seems like he can't cast any spells.

"Once the Mana Bar is activated, it's as if you can cast spells."

"As for why I can't seize spells?"

"Could it be?"

"What I thought of as spells is merely the application of knowledge? In fact, I have already seized the energy required to cast spells."

What kind of spellcasting ability is this?

Mage?

Or Warlock?

Duncan felt he should take some time to ponder. He might not lack seizing, but had directly uprooted it.

"Why does it feel like the spellcasting ability of a Primordial Mage?" Duncan mused, resting his chin on his hand.

Unlearned yet skilled?!

Is this how Warlock is explained?

By now, Duncan realized he couldn't entirely rely on the killing abilities of the Dimension Space.

While his killings indeed slowly increase mana, some mysterious knowledge likely still requires personal learning.

Yet, maybe not; after all, the Dimension Space is very powerful, perhaps he hasn't mastered it just because he hasn't killed enough!

If he kills a hundred mages who know the Fireball Technique, he doesn't believe he wouldn't acquire even a single Fireball Technique.

Dimension Space.

After the juvenile dragon entered a healing state, Duncan began researching a new ability of the Dimension Space: consciousness-moderated combat (auto-mode).

It appeared after continuous moderation recently, allowing Human Form No. 1 to lead a battle group to hunt pirates without personal control.

Initially, Duncan intended merely to research how to improve moderation efficiency and record tasks in a log for execution.

But unexpectedly, he inadvertently highlighted a 'combat moderation' with a flame mark.

——Combat Moderation (Consciousness Replication): Create a replicative consciousness from your main consciousness, possessing part of the corresponding Human Form's abilities, and determine battle strategies based on combat emergencies.

(The more enriched the Human Form's experiences, the stronger the abilities, enhancing the performance of the replicated consciousness.)

(The replicated consciousness is regarded as a Divine Thought, lacking high autonomy.)

(It can gradually strengthen with soul intensity.)

This is a test, and if successful, small-scale wars can be entirely assigned to consciousness moderation.

If the results are promising, while controlling Human Form No. 2, the Britain Kingdom of the Middle Ages can continuously expand its territory, though surely not as capable as he would be personally operating it.

Kent.

This is one of the spots most vulnerable to pirate landings.

Being only a few dozen kilometers directly from the European mainland, but the European pirates learned to land along remote coastlines, hiding their ships in bases and expecting to raid before returning home to enjoy.

The age of the Barbarian Race invasion is underway, and pirates are never fully eradicated; as one batch dies, another arises, with the Barbarians from Europe turning pirate as life on the continent becomes unlivable.

On the projection page.

Duncan began formulating tactical strategies through thought—minimizing casualties while offering the army training opportunities, personally handling any accidents.

A line of characters quickly flashed across the projection page.

"Replication complete!"

(Similar to a Divine Thought consciousness separated from the main body.)

"Tactical command simulation underway! ...Formulating battle plans based on existing tactical experience!..."

In the next moment.

Near a pirate base entrenched on the coastline, Human Form No. 1 waved his hand and ordered: "Shield and spear soldiers at the front, archers at the back, Gaul Warrior Group on both sides."

"Advance steadily!"

"Welsh archers, target the sentinels at the base!"

A small battle group of twenty or thirty laid out its formation in such a manner, and Duncan felt his personal coordination would only be slightly better.

However, the tactical thinking was still relatively rigid; possibly due to insufficient Soul Enhancement, the divine thought consciousness lacked the thinking capabilities of the main body, more akin to a traditional Middle Ages commander.

How to describe it?

This divine thought replicated the experiences of Human Form No. 1 but had not inherited the thinking of his prior life's main body, effectively a personified divine thought from the Middle Ages.

A word to describe it would be 'rule-abiding,' without any particularly outstanding performance.

Under the command of the auto-mode Human Form No. 1, the entire battle group swiftly moved, while he remained in the rear, seemingly following the directive to 'provide the army with training opportunities.'

This was a very successful assault.

The Welsh archers killed the pirate sentinels, then the Gaul Warrior Battle Group charged, swiftly chopping down more than ten individuals, until a pirate leader wielding a spear appeared, prompting the divine thought-controlled Human Form No. 1 to act suddenly.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew through the air.

Human Form No. 1 finally made a move, shooting the pirate leader with one arrow before calmly settling back in the rear, watching his troops uplifted by morale, overthrowing the enemies.

Throughout the process, Duncan did not personally control it with his consciousness.

By the battle's end.

The pirate group of dozens had been entirely wiped out, while only a few of their own were lightly injured; if danger signals emerged, Human Form No. 1 would use the bow and arrow to neutralize the threat, maintaining control of the entire situation.

This consciousness replication retains the combat styles of different Human Forms—whether brutal, nimble, or stable, etc.

"Next is to test small-scale wars."

"If the consciousness-moderated Human Form can perform as well in waging war, then in the future, local wars can be entirely relegated to automation."

Duncan's main consciousness resides above the Dimension.

Various consciousness avatars resemble Divine Spirit's fragmented Divine Thoughts, basing their power on soul strength, affecting the abilities of the replicated Divine Thought. If it were slightly stronger, he could level up on auto-mode, though there's the risk of mishaps.

If Human Form No. 1 can operate this way, then Human Form No. 2 can too.

In the future, Human Forms could all be under the control of Divine Thought.
