9 Episode 9: Former Demon King, Reinforce Yourself (1/2)
─ ─ That day, in the corner of the mansion...
”Yet, Yuki, what do you care?
”... Yes. Doctor.”
”Again, Yuki, you can't possibly use 'ancient magic'. It's magic that can only be used by the chosen ones.”
”Yes. I know.”
”I know what Zeros will be wary of Yuki. You saw the Baron's attitude earlier, didn't you? I cared so much about Yuki. Again, they seem to be caged. Yuki, I was wondering if there was any evidence that you were being driven down and aimed at the throne of your son.”
”... Doctor, I am”
”You won't be alarmed. Zeros.”
Teacher Kahle grabbed Zeros-Grossalia's shoulder.
”Yuki Which is steadily implementing measures to keep servants on our side. Even before this, I was trying to sift my hunting prey to a servant. I'm in a visible mood. What would have happened if I hadn't stopped”
”Yuki really... trying to get rid of me?
”It's common in noble houses.”
Kahle snapped to spit blood.
”That the common man will enter the nobility and eventually take over the house. Just because you're a little brilliant doesn't mean you can't forgive someone who's a child. I have to show you. My true power is not like this. and”
”... sir?
”Okay, Mr. Zeros. Only this Kahle-Meegen is on your side. Look, I'm on your side.”
Kahle repeats the same words.
The bastard invades the baron's house.
He said it was all just a ruse, too, for the Baron to admit Yuki.
”I trust you. Zeros.”
”… sir”
”Mr. Zeros is the one this Kahle-Meegen should serve. If you don't have a lot of magic, you may not have the trust of Zeros.”
”Yes, no. I trust Dr. Kahle, too.”
”Now repeat the same words. Hold this amulet - Yuki-Grossalia is the enemy - and we have a common enemy. You have to face it,” he said.
”Well, we have a common enemy.”
”Yuki, no matter what you do, you can't beat me and Zeros. My hands have already been struck so that the magic of me and Zeros can be united. Don't worry about the day and take the exam. Zeros.”
─ ─ At the same time, in Yuki's own room-
After returning to the secluded private room.
I decided to look into the phenomenon earlier.
Brother Zeros' ”Ancient Sorcery” is activated by painting a crest in the air and casting a spell.
The crest could be read from finger movements.
I didn't know who the spell was. That's not the language of any country, as far as I know.
Probably a word dedicated to 'ancient magic'.
The only way to know is to learn in Teacher Kahle or 'Magic Guild'.
I just painted a crest, I'm not chanting a spell.
But ”physical enhancement” was activated.
Let's start from the beginning.
There are witchcraft commonly used in this world and ”ancient witchcraft” discovered by the ”Church of the Sanctuary”.
The difference is power and persistence, magic consumption.
Compared to common sorcery, 'ancient sorcery' is stronger in its three digits.
My brother drew me from my father, who was a warrior in the war, in ”Strengthening My Body (Boosted)”.
After that, when I drew the same crest that my brother showed me, my body got stronger too.
The question is, how did I activate my technique?
”Let's experiment”
I took out a slice of parchment.
With a pen and ink, I'll paint the crest of that time.
”............... nothing's going to happen”
Next, let's use my Magic Blood.
Earlier, I put blood on my fingers and painted a crest on my palm. It wasn't until then that there was a change.
Let's do the same thing.
Cut your fingertips off with a knife, put blood on your pen... when you draw it in your palm.
Activated.
My body is light. If you bend over...... it's disgusting fast.
Let's not jump...... Clash against the ceiling.
And then shut up and count the seconds. 100...... 200...... about 600 seconds. Ten minutes?
Next, now I'll put my blood on the pen and draw a crest on the parchment.
When I threw the parchment, it dropped normally.
Is there no way the parchment 'strengthens the body'?
