What the light projected was a black shadow with a body.
And the energy felt in the shadows is very familiar to me.
‘Is it a shadow made after me?’
It was clear when he saw that the red demonic energy unique to Diablic Force was flowing out.
‘Can I only imitate my shadow?’
I took a closer look at the marbles to make sure.
Then the phrase caught my eye.
[Project the object you imagine.]
“This is beyond my expectations.”
It was a story that I could create not only my shadow, but also other beings I had met so far.
It seemed that if I made a stronger opponent and continued training, I would be able to train much closer to real life.
Of course, you still have to get used to it first.
“I guess I’ll have to adapt lightly.”
I started doing basic training.
And that kind of image of me was being conveyed to someone intact.
“Hmm… You seem to be adapting faster than I thought.”
“I told you. It’s not normal.”
It was Karina’s mother and daughter.
A large mirror that shows the images of those inside the marble of temptation.
It was a kind of safety device made in case of an emergency.
“You must have hated that guy quite a bit at first, didn’t you?”
“that… Because it was when I didn’t know. No, even now it’s not particularly good. It’s just that I don’t like it.”
“okay?”
Serenia talks a lot.
Seeing him even waving his hands, he looked quite flustered.
‘It’s changed a lot since I first entered Demonic.’
She is the daughter who even borrowed the queen’s mirror to defeat her opponent.
It was understandable because the first defeat she suffered against a peer would come as a big shock, but looking at Serenia’s reaction now, there was a clear difference from then.
‘Sending that child to Demonic might have been a good choice.’
In fact, succubuses don’t go out much.
It is common to live within a certain area.
However, as such a tradition was repeated, side effects were inevitable.
‘They’ve become too closed a group.’
No matter how strong the demon world is, it is necessary to interact and get along with others in moderation.
‘I may be late, but Serenia might be different.’
I sent her to Demonic in the hope that her daughter would meet various people and build good relationships, but so far it doesn’t look bad.
‘It’s surprising to have a relationship with a big player more than I thought.’
Befriending the son of a dreadlord.
Of course, there seemed to be a little ambiguous part to call them friends, but at least it was enough to be between each other and help each other.
‘furthermore… .’
I heard a report that there was also a daughter of the Great Demon King Trevius among the party that came with me.
The words that two of the demon kings are related to Serenia.
Serenia seemed to be walking in a completely different direction from her childhood.
“Oh right. Mother, what do you think about interacting with the Demonwolf clan?”
“suddenly? What… We didn’t get along very well before, but not now. But I wonder if it’s worth interacting with.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“What are you doing that for?”
Serenia explained what happened in Ethlon Manor.
“It was a short period of time, but I had a lot of experiences.”
This time, Kyler Diablick was entangled.
But it didn’t look too bad.
After all, it had a positive impact.
“I will try to think about it.”
“really? Thank you.”
“I’m just thinking about it, so don’t expect too much.”
“I am also satisfied with just telling the story.”
“Rather than that, what are you going to do now? I don’t think we need to stay here all the time.”
The goal of fixing the Orb of Temptation has already been achieved.
Serenia has nothing to do here right now.
Going back to Demonic was a better option in many ways.
“ah… Yes. Then I’ll make it back.”
“Anyway, take a good rest today. Unless you need to go back in a hurry.”
“yes. Then I’ll tell the party and come back.”
Serenia leaves the room.
Karina smiled at Serenia.
‘I’ve always been a kid who looked down on others, but he’s definitely changed.’
She was a daughter who surprised me in many ways.
‘And that child must be at the center of it.’
Karina caught a glimpse of a man rolling hard in the mirror.
‘Please cheer me on to get the results I want.’
* * *
The day has passed.
Time is still stopped at 5x.
‘Adapting isn’t as easy as I thought.’
I made it my top priority to adapt to this space for a day, but even so, it was impossible to do it 10 times.
‘Still, I’m glad I’m not alone.’
＜I will assist you so that you can train most effectively.＞
Sebastian made various plans and informed me.
It seemed that if I just kept going, I would be able to achieve good results.
And there was one more person to talk to.
Kwaaang!
The existence that is fighting fiercely with my shadow next to me.
It was Xeon.
– It’s strange here. Something harder and slower.
It seems that the pressure of this space is applied even to the demonic spirit, Xeon.
Still, thanks to the combination with the Silence, it seemed relatively less burdensome.
‘I didn’t expect this guy to exist.’
Xeon, in order to get used to living in silence, was as relaxed as possible and fell asleep, which was something I didn’t notice.
Still, it didn’t seem to have worked, and I was living in silence as if I were at home.
‘No, did I bother to argue and get on the plane?’
The appearance of spraying all kinds of magic on a flying sword was not a bomber.
‘I have to keep trying.’
And another week passed.
“I’m kind of used to it now.”
I perfectly adapted to the 10x time.
After that, combat training began in earnest.
The shadow created a variety of opponents, and thanks to that, I was able to experience various forms of combat again.
And again time passed and a month passed.
If I count the time I’ve been here so far in terms of time outside, it’s about nine months.
And if I spend the remaining month 10 times, the time left for me is about 10 months.
‘It’s almost 2 years of training in 2 months… Certainly this is a fraudulent artifact.’
Succubuses focused on enchantment, so if they had properly utilized this orb of temptation, it could have had a greater effect.
– Kylers. I’m faster now And look at this.
The growth in one month is the same with Xeon.
The guy was learning all kinds of different magic and attack skills.
“You’ve grown a lot.”
-Hehe, I think it’s good to be able to continue without worrying about others.
Me too, Zeon. What was relatively short was time.
And now, the marble of temptation was solving that deficiency.
‘It’s a bit boring.’
Practice repeated every day.
Even if he had the goal of becoming stronger, it was not easy to endure.
The shadows only served as combat opponents, and it was impossible to have a conversation with them.
Perhaps it would have been harder to endure boredom if it had not been for Xeon.
‘It’s fortunate that the meal came out well.’
Meals provided by magic could be indulged in at any time.
There were also various types, so meal time was the only time to relax the body and mind.
“Okay, let’s continue. Xeon.”
-okay.
So another 3 weeks passed.
“Whoa… .”
Compared to when I first came in, I feel that I have grown in all areas.
Not just physical growth, but a feeling of spiritual development as well.
There are only ten days left.
100 days if you apply 10 times.
If it is 20 times the maximum, it is 200 days.
time is never too short.
‘It’s a story that we can still develop further.’
It’s not a situation where I’ve grown as much as I was aiming for.
I had to make the most of the remaining time and become stronger.
‘Sebastian. Can I survive if I go 20 times?’
＜I still think it’s impossible.＞
‘As expected.’
But there is no need to feel sorry.
It’s because I’ve been seeing enough effects even now.
furthermore.
‘The situation will change if I use this.’
I checked the small pebbles on the palm of my hand.
It was the Chaos Stone.
‘Sebastian. Are you saying I can use this now?’
＜Yes. If you are the current master, I think you can absorb all the magic of the Chaos Stone.＞
A Chaos Stone that had been put off until it reached maximum efficiency.
It is now possible to absorb all the demonic energy, probably because of training in this space and becoming stronger.
‘great.’
I immediately woke up.
Fire.
In response to my demonic energy, demonic energy began to flow from the Chaos Stone.
Maggie slowly seeped into my body.
Whoops.
Evil Heart greedily sucked up that demonic energy.
‘hot.’
whole body.
Magi flowing in.
Even the evil heart that is running fiercely.
The feeling of everything burning hot.
It was definitely a different reaction from when I used the Chaos Stone so far.
‘Is it because it’s the highest quality Chaos Stone?’
No, I don’t think it’s simply because of the difference in grade.
The magic nature of the Chaos Stone itself was different.
Then he remembered what he had heard from Luke.
The place where I found the Chaos Stone.
‘I heard that it was made in the place where my father blew away the bone dragon.’
If that’s the case, the Magi there will eventually have a large proportion of Diablo’s Magi, the father.
Of course, the same goes for the Chaos Stone, which was created by absorbing that magic.
In addition, there was even a common evil force called Diavlic Force.
Making the whole body hot was something that happened because they were so compatible.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
I have no intention of spilling even a little bit of magic.
So I fell into a trance and absorbed demonic energy.
Whoops.
Changes began to occur in Evil Heart.
Six rings revolving around the Evil Heart.
One more loop was being made on top of that loop.
and after a while
[The level of Diablic Force has increased.]
As the 7 rings were completed, the level of the Diabloc Force increased.
However, the unabsorbed demonic energy remains.
Maggie started making another loop.
‘Is the 8th being made? No, it’s a bit lacking.’
In the end, when it was halfway completed, all the magic of the Chaos Stone disappeared.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
But at this rate, making the 8th ring didn’t seem like it would take too long.
＜Congratulations. You seem to have completely absorbed the magic of the Chaos Stone.＞
Even if it wasn’t Sebastian’s words, he could tell.
Because the power I feel in my body now is different from before.
“Whoa… .”
I took a deep breath and checked the status window.
◆ Name: Kyler Diablick
◆ Age: 18
◆ Stats: Strength (1,514) Agility (1,523) Magi (1,684) Endurance (1,546) Dignity (132)
◆ Skills: Diablic Force (S) Lv 7, Diablic Requiem (S) Lv 2, Indomitability (S) Lv 3, Demonic Barrier (A), Demon Fear (A)
‘Did I go up too much than I thought?’
All stats had risen above 500.
The results are hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes.
It’s still lower than Lucifer’s ability, but considering the indomitable buff, I was able to see that I was rather higher.
Besides, this isn’t the end.
‘I can become stronger depending on how I use the remaining ten days.’
If it’s my current ability, I might be able to endure it for a while even if I apply 20 times.
You will be able to engage in sparring with stronger shadows than you have dealt with so far, so the efficiency will go up.
‘Then let’s start with the unlucky guy.’
A shadow that appears in response to my will.
It was the shadow projected by Lucifer.
A target that was hard to beat until a few minutes ago.
But now it’s different.
And in a few days it will be different again.
Kwaaang!
Lucifer’s shadow falling out of my attack.
‘Next time I’ll be able to blow away the real thing, not the shadow.’
I was already looking forward to the day we would meet again at Demonic.
