《Grand Magus》Chapter 40 Innate Spell
Advertisement
The process of transferring knowledge was nothing special.
At least in the physical world, nothing special happened except the fact that Fraser lied down on his bed.
However, in Fraser's mind, he experienced something that cannot be described with words.
It felt like living a journey where a wise mentor guided you towards the goal.
Like learning so much in a short period of time.
Belonging to something greater.
As Fraser experienced the knowledge transfer he felt weird.
After all, he experienced everything in the spiritual world. It was different as he got lectured directly in the spirit, meaning that everything that he learned would stay in his spirit.
A few hours passed as Fraser experienced the knowledge transfer, but to Fraser, it felt like a single moment.
Opening his eyes Fraser felt a shiver running through his body.
‘Unbelieve able. The yellow insect had so much potential. I am lucky that I was able to kill it. Yet the question on how I fused with the yellow insect still is not answered.’
Confused Fraser retreated back into his spirit sphere, which he formerly named the spirit room.
Runes covered the walls of the spirit sphere and now Fraser knew exactly what these runes were for.
‘I acquired an innate spell, which will grow alongside my spirit and eventually create more spells for me to use. So that is where the spell models come from. That means that technically everyone would be able to use my innate spell mode.’
Fraser clenched his fists in excitement. A spell model which would grow alongside him.
Though the theory would suggest that everyone would be able to use his innate spell model if created properly, however from the knowledge file Fraser knew that the innate spell from the yellow insect was something special.
The innate spell would create a servant for the hive mind, often called the mind or the social behavior of an entire society.

In other words, Fraser had become a hive mind, the mind or the brain of an entire society.
Thus even if anyone replicated the spell model, they would need the ability to be able to manage these servants.
Or else they would just be able to create an uncontrollable creature which might even kill the caster or Magus.
‘So right now I am a one man army. The only thing I need is enough organic material and time in order to create servants. AI, can I change my servants or are the created servants already determined?’
[From the information of the Yellow Insect, there is a small number of standard servants which are already programmed into the knowledge file. However in order to improve the servants a lot of experiments and testing needs to be done. Thus the conclusion is that yes, servants can be changed]
‘What are the standard servants in the knowledge file? AI, make a list and if you are able to simulate their strength and behavior list them as well. Also, tell me the number of the standard servant in the knowledge file.’
[Creation of the list, please wait a short moment]
While the AI seemed to create the list of the standard servants Fraser had a relieved smile on his lips.
‘I guess what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.’
A short laugh escaped Fraser's mouth before the AI finished the list.
[Listing the Standard servants(4):
- Larva, the infant stage of every servant, basis for every servant
- Mother, able to produce larva, useful for production chains, heavy unit
- Worker, a slow and steady servant, used for manual labor work
- Soldier, battle servant
Every servant has no mind on its own, the only one with a mind capable of thinking is the Mother]
Fraser glanced at the servant list for a while before thinking about the social structure of ants, bees and termites.

‘How come they are so similar? I mean this is probably the foundation for a huge society which would result in a smarter hive mind.’
Something seemed odd for Fraser, however, he quickly threw the suspicion back into the back of his head.
‘How come there is no drawback? AI are all servants as small as the yellow insect I killed?’
If the servants would be as small as the yellow insect which Fraser killed, they would be nothing much except cannon fodder.
After all even with dark rope, one of the cheapest spell models available Fraser would be able to kill thousands upon thousands of small insects with a single cast.
Fraser expected a confirmation that the servants would be quite small, however, he got a positive surprise.
[Each servant size is only depending on the organic material available, though every servant will take up an amount of spirit. So the maximum amount of spirit will equal to the number of servants you will be able to control. So the bigger the size for each of the servants, the more spirit you have to use]
After hearing the limitations of his now innate spell Fraser immediately began to order the necessary materials in order to start experimenting.
Which was to walk outside of his private chamber and try to see if he can get a lot of organic materials, in other words, meat, it didn’t matter in which state so corpses, parts or even beautiful cut up were the same quality materials in Fraser's eye.
To be honest, if Fraser didn’t fuse with the yellow insect there would only be a few things left for Fraser on which he could improve on.
He wasn’t able to experiment on Alchemy as he only had one Alchemist Set and if that somehow got destroyed while he was at the outpost there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to get a second one.
So the only things left were experimenting with his now destroyed spell models, strengthening his physique in order to become an apprentice knight and to meditate in order to improve his spirit.
But with the fusion of the yellow insect and the innate spells Fraser now had a lot more to experiment upon.
As Fraser walked through the floors of the outpost a few apprentices saw him but didn’t dare to approach him as Fraser came from the direction of the private chambers.
Just as Fraser walked through the more populated region of the outpost for a while in order to reach the canteen a giant muscular guy walked towards Fraser.
Easily topping Fraser height by three entire heads the muscular guy stopped Fraser in his way and spoke in a deep voice:
“My big sister wants to meet you, Fraser. Also, there is a meeting for the inner circle going on right now so follow me.”
Without a choice Fraser walked behind the muscular guy, remembering that the muscular guy seemed to be the younger brother of the muscular woman who took the lead at almost every meeting Fraser attended.
As soon as Fraser entered the inner circle room with the “escort” of the muscular guy, every eye turned towards his direction for a short moment before they continued to do whatever they did before he entered the room.
“My bigger sister is over there, in the corner. Let us walk towards her.” said the muscular guy in a voice before “escorting” Fraser towards his sister.
