Episode 43
Outwardly, there will be no major changes. Raising the upper limit doesn’t mean that something gets bigger.
But the power that can be exercised becomes stronger.
“Let’s try a little.”
Emily murmured expectantly, testing her own strength that had risen further.
When you flick your fingers lightly, an invisible wave sweeps through the surroundings.
kilometers in all directions.
It captures the energy of all living things, including animals and plants within its range.
If you put your mind to it, you can take it as it is and suck it all up.
“Is it an energy drain?”
“It seems to have become more powerful.”
Upward compatible skill of Energy Drain that was previously used.
-Life Domination.
As the level rose, more intense skills would also become possible.
“The awakening seems to have been successful.”
Roughly estimated, the threshold has risen to about three times the previous level.
“Hmm… … . If this… … I wonder… … .”
I thought he would just make a fuss out of joy, but Emily looked down at her hands and muttered something.
Is something wrong?
Or, unlike the game, is there an element attached to the awakening itself that I don’t know about?
“Is something strange?”
“It’s not like that. My strength has definitely risen, and I’m sure the other demons will roll around in stomach pain when they hear it. whooping… … .”
Gyama’s Awakening Orb can only be obtained through a specific quest or recipe.
Items that can only be obtained in scenarios.
If you want to get it in any other way, you have to go through the content that opens after the ending, so it’s actually a limited rare item.
“No complaints. but… … Do you think you have a little more energy left? It would be a waste to leave it as it is.”
“Sufficient? what do you mean?”
“Look forward to it. Is this older sister not satisfied just by receiving it?”
A gracious succubus that will definitely repay you if you receive it.
Anyway, Emily seems to be starting to devise something.
Maybe something I didn’t expect.
“Yeah, that will work.”
It seems that the contemplation is finally over.
Emily gave me a strangely sarcastic smile and gestured to me.
“Come and see, Xian. Come on.”
“These days, the familiar tells the contractor to come and go.”
“Wouldn’t that be a loss? I will give you something good.”
Then follow me.
Xian is a good kid who will follow any older sister if they give him something good.
I wanted to do something, but Emily clung to me as if pushing her body and grabbed me.
“Come on, come on, come closer. Yes, yes, are you nice?”
“hey… … ! Is it broad daylight? It’s out here.”
what if someone comes
Is there anything different than usual?
“oh? different? What I’m trying to do now is to return some extra change.”
“huh?”
What’s left?
“Looks like there are still some remnants of the effect of the treasure Xian used.”
“Remnants?”
“It would be a waste to let it disappear like this, and I was thinking about what to do.”
And Emily seemed to find a slightly different application.
You are really frugal.
“I don’t know if something like this will be possible with a little alteration and a little touch.”
Instead of explaining further as if to expect it, Emily moved directly into action.
I put my hand near my heart and put my lips together.
Like the first contract.
On the other hand, as his power grows stronger, he may directly interfere with me to some extent.
This is the risk I was talking about at the beginning.
But now she’s not trying to harm me.
I was pretty sure of that.
《Remnant effects of awakening will occur.》
What is it?
It’s an unexpected effect.
Emily tampered with the effect that awakens demons, changed the wavelength and replaced it with another effect.
“draft”
《Class: Warlock》
《Class Level: 21》
《Stamina: 211》《Magic Power: 288》《Agility: 179》《Luck: 116》
《Physical Defense: 14》《Magical Defense: 20》《Mental Resistance: 30》
《Plant tolerance: 25》
《Remaining Skill Points: 23pt》
《Active – Acquire ‘Charm’》
《Active – Acquire ‘magic telekinesis’.》
Skills have risen in general.
Also, it seems that some of the attributes and skills are shared so that I can use them too.
She said it’s about the same amount of energy as change, but it’s enough to increase a person’s abilities.
“… … phew, good luck It really is.”
… … Let’s pretend we didn’t hear that.
“It makes no sense, this.”
It’s an absurd feat.
By analogy, it is the same as putting other fuel in a diesel car, not diesel, and making it run somehow.
Although the succubus is more specialized in handling energy than other demons, it shouldn’t be a difficult task normally.
“Because I got a little bit of various ideas while watching what Xian was doing recently.”
“Can we do this next time?”
“Um, what should I do? Maybe it will work out somehow?”
I said it meaningfully, but with that alone, there are more things I can try.
It’s really nice to meet a familiar.
Unexpected specification up.
Then you can start working on the next one right away.
That’s right, it’s time for the black magician to make an achievement worthy of being recognized by the academy.
Chapter 8 – Dark Magic Scrolls
The Imperial Academy provides knowledge and opportunities to talented people in all fields.
Swordsmanship, magic, spiritism… … . Sometimes even the art of handling iron.
Then, of course, this will also be included in what they teach.
“The essence of black magic lies in the strangeness not found in common magic.”
Black magic lecture.
“Basically, you may have learned that common magic is to use the aura of a normal state, commonly called blue mana, and cause transformation through that aura.”
Professor Daniel Minaple, who can be said to be the only professor in the academy who specializes in black magic.
“On the other hand, black magic is mana with the opposite nature. In short, the emphasis is on making use of the characteristics of the aura commonly referred to as magic.”
Professor Daniel lightly heats up the demon and chant a simple black magic spell.
A black fire rises.
“The flames of black magic tend to have the properties of a curse, unlike the fire magic of common magic. The firepower may be relatively low, but those affected by this flame will be affected by its demonic energy.”
A class that clearly points out the difference between black magic and common magic from the basic level.
Certainly, the quality of her classes would never be inferior to those of other magic departments.
but… … .
“… … Then why is the effect of the ‘curse’ applied?”
Somehow, it feels like Professor Daniel’s voice sounds a bit hollower than other classes.
It’s not the fault of the mood.
“Xian-kun, shall we read the contents of the next textbook this time?”
“It doesn’t matter. Professor Daniel? You have to point me out… … . No, how many times are you the only one who has me read it over and over again?”
The level of class is never low.
If you have to point out the shortcomings of the class.
that there are no students attending.
Well, because I am, I can’t say that there is none at all.
“ah… … . I’m sorry, Xian. For some reason, it has been my dream to have students read textbooks when I have a student… … .”
“Don’t say anything strangely pitiful.”
“Xian-kun wouldn’t know. It’s been five years since I succeeded my former professor as the academy’s black magic professor… … . How empty it was because there were no students every year.”
During class, Professor Daniel rings the tip of his nose as if he is genuinely frowning.
“The classroom is empty every time, but I had to teach in name, how would it feel to have to teach alone when no students are listening… … .”
“It is terrible.”
Just imagining it makes me go crazy.
“I borrowed about 30 skeletons for work once and tried to sit them down, hoping to fill in the vacant seats, but it just felt more futile.”
“I don’t even like to imagine that.”
“A student in such a car! You don’t know how glad I am that Xi’an is here! At first, I didn’t believe it because I thought the dean was playing with undead from somewhere!”
At most, only one student has increased, but Professor Daniel exclaims as if he is truly moved.
The commotion when I first came to take the black magic class was beyond words.
“I am a living student… … I never thought the day would come when I was thrilled.”
“I was surprised to hear it too.”
I couldn’t help it.
“Thankfully, the department didn’t disappear.”
“Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor and the Dean. It meant that knowledge would not be lost and wait for a student like Xian to come in someday.”
“Well, I’m also glad that Professor Daniel’s class is very helpful.”
“Oh my, whoop whoop. It is worthwhile to prepare for the class so far.”
It’s not a sounding greeting.
Although she may be inferior in strength compared to other magic department professors, she was never behind in knowledge and theory.
Although she usually learns from Emily how to deal with demons and the knowledge of magic from the devil’s point of view, it was emotionally out of step for humans to fully understand.
On the other hand, what we can learn from Professor Daniel is knowledge refined purely for human understanding.
It was suitable for learning more detailed tips, not black magic that was only used as a skill.
(This older sister can teach me better…)
‘What kind of competition are you igniting with an active teacher?’
Emily is also exceptionally quiet in class. Are you secretly learning something?
First of all, it seemed that the class was not in the mood to continue, so Professor Daniel closed the textbook and brought up another topic.
“By the way, Xian? What would you like to ask personally? Did we talk about it last time?”
Personally, as if she cared for me, the only student in her own way, she occasionally answered personal questions with sincerity.
That’s because if I’m not there, I’ll really be ruined.
“In fact, should I say that it is an extremely personal study… … .”
“research!”
Even before he finishes talking, his eyes twinkle.
“Good. After all, a wizard must continue to devote himself to exploring his own knowledge.”
“Ah, thank you. Anyway, I would like to hear from you a little bit about the research, are you busy?”
“does not matter.”
Originally, it is not easy for a person at the level of a professor to intervene in a student’s studies.
Professors are also busy with thesis they have to submit, and they also have pride, so the children’s research won’t be full of energy.
However, Professor Daniel readily agrees before he even listens to me.
“I’m really free… … . Since there are so many student classes, it can be said that he wrote a thesis to be submitted for the next five years in advance… … . How to say… … .”
“… … Being a professor is not an easy job.”
Anyway, thank you kind professor. Pretend you didn’t hear what I muttered a moment ago.
“What research are you doing? My specialty is curses and necromantics, but other than that, I’ve honed my knowledge enough to answer questions from students.”
“It may be a little peculiar.”
“are you okay.”
I’ll bet that what I’m going to say is probably something Professor Daniel didn’t even think of.
“I must be thinking a little bit about writing scrolls.”
“Sc… … role?”
see
Professor Daniel tilted his head as if he hadn’t expected it at all.
“Didn’t you say that you were studying black magic?”
“yes. I must have been interested in writing scrolls with black magic.”
Magic is not all about how to use it simply by casting a spell and activating it.
An artifact that inscribes a magic formula on an object to give it the unique power of that magic.
In addition, there is a scroll written so that a pre-engraved magic formula can be stored and activated at any time.
magic scroll.
At the time of the game, it was a convenient tool that could activate the corresponding magic immediately when the owner consumed it regardless of what class it was.
“With black magic… … Are you saying you want to write a scroll?”
“yes! Sure!”
“Um… … . It’s definitely a topic that Xian-kun would be interested in.”
However, as soon as Professor Daniel heard my story, he slightly averted his gaze and blurted out his words.
