[ The new owner of the Demon King’s Castle (3) ]
To the great people The main core of the approaching Demon Castle vibrated and glowed with a pale green light.
Wooooow!
As the crystal-shaped main core began to shine, the light shattered at various angles and filled the Daejeon.
An amazing and mysterious sight.
But the great man narrowed his eyes and looked at that figure. He lightly placed his hand on the Heavenly Demon Sword at his waist.
“You’re not trying to do some trick again, are you?”
Lying and backstabbing are racial traits of demons.
Therefore, Daein did not let go of his suspicions and glared at the main core.
Grrrr!
The main core trembled as if it felt unfair.
“What is he saying now?”
Lily, who acted as an interpreter between the two, answered Daein’s question.
“They say I need your blood to make a contract?”
Swoosh….
One part of the crystal protruded sharply like a thorn. It seemed like it meant asking the thorns to be covered in the blood of a great man.
“Hmm…”
The great man looked at the thorn and thought for a moment.
This was because I knew well what ‘blood’ meant in magic.
The source and proof of life.
Excellent wizards could control or sicken their target with just a few drops of their blood.
In particular, in the black magic series, one of the almost essential ingredients was ‘the target’s blood’.
If the demon had asked for blood, the great man would have broken the pot first.
‘But the Demon King cannot use magic on his own.’
The Demon King is a monster that the Demon King stayed in for a long time and acquired spirituality, but he was unable to use magic on his own.
In other words, there wasn’t much the Demon King could do in a situation where there was no master.
“…good. gist.”
The great man stuck out his finger at the thorns that the main core stuck out. However, I did not relax in preparation for any unexpected situation.
Sigh…
Blood flowed down the thorn that pierced my finger.
At first it was just a few drops.
Susssut.
The flowing blood seeped into the thorns and was soon completely absorbed into the main core.
Wooooow!
The color of the main core that had absorbed the blood of the great man slowly began to change from the top of the crystal.
From green to red.
The Great Man asked Lily, still with his finger on the thorn.
“kid. “What is this situation now?”
Lily worked hard to translate next to Daein.
“They say you need your uncle’s blood and magical power to erase the traces of the original owner, the Demon King, and serve a new owner.”
Daein listened to Lily’s words and looked at the main core quietly.
“…I don’t think that’s wrong.”
The great man felt a strange sensation.
The feeling of your heart resonating with the main core touched by your fingertips.
‘So this is connected by blood?’
If it weren’t for this feeling, I would have taken my hand off the blood-sucking thorn a long time ago.
“You want my magic power?”
“huh. If possible, as many as possible! Ah really? “You’re very hungry… I’m also hungry because you haven’t allowed me to eat lately.”
Daein looked at Lily in bewilderment as she suddenly talked to the main core.
“If anyone hears it, they will know that I am starving you.”
Only chicken and snacks were banned.
Well, that’s half of this kid’s meal.
“Anyway, you need my magic power, right?”
The great man raised his Heavenly Demon God’s skill. The internal energy of the dantian and the heavenly magic energy were transmitted to the main core through the thorns that touched his fingertips.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The fierce energy of the Heavenly Demon God seeped into the main core. At the same time, changes in the main core became faster.
Wooooow!
The crystal, which had been dyed red, was now mixed with black.
Tsutsutsuham ….
Green-] Red-] Looking at the main core that turns in dark red, the adult gathered slightly.
‘I’m eating quite a lot.’
Already, a third of the Danjeon’s internal energy and magical energy had been drained. Despite this, there was no end in sight to the main core’s gluttony.
Gulp, gulp.
It sucked the blood and magic power of the great man like an animal that had not starved for several days.
“what? Is that really true?!”
Lily looked back at Daein and gulped, as if she had heard something from the main core.
Daein also looked nervous.
“what’s the matter? What’s going on?”
“The old man said the blood and magic power was really delicious… he said it was the best he’d ever tasted… Chureup…”
Taaaak!
“Aya! Why are you hitting me again?”
“That’s because you look at people like you’re looking at chicken.”
The great man who created the lump on the top of Lily’s head looked at the main core.
Tsutsutsutsu…!
Now the original green color has been pushed out almost all the way and most of it is turning a dark red color.
Almost half of the inner energy and magic power within the dantian had been drained.
‘It doesn’t matter since my inner strength and magic will recover anyway…’
Tsutsutsutsu…!
As time passed, Daein naturally began to understand the existence of this main core.
It was a very amazing experience.
I also thought I could understand why this guy was so greedy in sucking up his own blood and magic.
‘Because I was hastily summoned to Earth, I lost most of my original power. Besides… the previous owner was such a worthless bastard.’
Daein looked at Balaam trapped inside the glass bottle.
The Demon King and the Demon King are complementary beings.
Normally, the Demon King absorbs the remaining powerful magic power into the Demon King Castle.
The Demon King uses that magic as nourishment to grow. And when an emergency situation such as war occurs, the devil is protected with the power accumulated until then.
In other words, the Demon King’s Castle was no different from a warehouse where the Demon King stored up his power.
“But your previous owner was stupid to call you here. “In a world without magic, summoning magic is not complete.”
Wooooow!
As Daein spoke, the main core trembled and resonated.
There was no longer any need for Lily’s interpretation between the two.
Because our wills were connected even without words.
The green aura of the crystal has now completely disappeared, and the main core glows a subtle dark red luster.
But Daein could tell that this guy was still hungry.
“It’s still not enough?”
Wooooow!
The main core vibrated violently.
At that moment, the great man realized that this guy had completely obeyed him.
“OK. “I’ll feed you until you’re full.”
Squeak. The great man further opened the wound on the tip of his finger.
At the same time, he did his best to raise his Heavenly Demon Divine Power.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The blood of the great man and the energy of the Heavenly Demon God were powerfully pushed into the main core.
An enormous amount of elixir was dissolved in the great man’s ‘blood’. His blood was already like an elixir in itself.
In addition, the ‘Heavenly Demon’ that Daein pulled up was the pure darkness attribute possessed by the hungry ghost and processed into the Heavenly Demon’s magic.
Highly concentrated magical energy optimized for battle.
It was a nutritious food that was completely lacking in the demonic energy supplied by Demon King Balaam.
I’m crying.
The main core began to emit increasingly stronger light as nutrients poured in like a tidal wave.
“Whoa…”
Tendons sprouted from the Daein’s temples and cold sweat flowed down. However, Daein continued to pour blood and Heavenly Demon Energy into the main core.
“Hmm…!”
As a large amount of blood was lost at once, my vision became dizzy and my body felt helpless as my internal energy drained out in clumps.
But the great man did not stop.
‘It’s still not enough.’
Because it was connected to the main core by blood, Daein could instinctively know the state of the main core.
-Currently, this guy is in a greatly weakened state.
In order for the Demon King to regain its original strength and scale,
and to upgrade it further,
much more ‘materials’ and ‘nutrients’ were needed than now.
‘You can get the materials needed for the upgrade from outside. But nutrients can only infuse magical power.’
However, the amount of magical power required was beyond even the imagination of the great people.
Moreover, no matter how much magic I put into it, it feels like something ‘definitive’ is lacking.
‘Is this as far as my abilities can go…’
The great man let out a low sigh of regret. The bleeding was almost at its limit and the Danjeon was emptying out.
It was when Daein was about to take his hands off the main core.
“mister. I will help you.”
A small palm touched lower than where the large man’s hand touched.
“kid?”
As Daein looked at him with a surprised expression, Lily stuck her tongue out and looked back at Daein.
“Instead, the reflection paper should be further reduced.”
Lily infused the power of flame into the main core.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
And after a while, an unexpected chemical reaction occurred.
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The main core swelled explosively. The startled Daein hugged Lily and stepped back.
Blah blah blah…!
The crystal core began to expand and crack.
And underneath the crack, a jewel much more brilliant than the existing crystal was revealed.
The great man looked at the scene and muttered blankly.
“…Hwangolbal transformation?”
If you compare it to a human, it was roughly the right analogy.
The completely transformed main core of the Demon King was less than half the size of the existing main core.
However, the power felt within it was more than twice that of before.
And on the surface of that brilliant dark red crystal
…!
A bright yellow flame pattern was engraved.
Something ‘critical’ that Daein thought was lacking.
The two people looked at the scene in fascination.
“This is….”
“It’s pretty….”
Daein could tell.
―That is a perfectly formed main core.
No, it’s more than that.
‘If what I saw in the past is correct….’
Dozens of demon lords exist in the demon world.
Among them, there were less than five demon kings who had engraved their ‘mark’ on the main core of the demon castle.
In other words, he obtained a powerful demon castle core that only a high-ranking demon lord would have.
“Now if I just gather enough materials to strengthen….”
You can literally make anything.
The Demon King could be transformed into any form shown in comics or science fiction movies.
‘I don’t know if it can be called the Demon Castle anymore.’
Numerous shapes were already appearing in the great man’s mind. My heart pounded even more than when I saw the robot made by Youngshin Jang.
The great man looked at the being who had created this miracle.
“kid. “What on earth have you done?”
“uh? I just thought he was having a hard time…”
Due to a recent sin, Lily looked anxious, wondering if she had done something wrong again.
“…Did I do something wrong again?”
The great man chuckled and ruffled Lily’s hair.
“no. Good job this time. “I will reduce the chicken ban to one month.”
“Really?!”
Lily looked up at the man with a surprised expression.
‘Is banning chicken that much of a problem?’
The value of the Demon Castle’s main core in front of us is such that it wouldn’t change even if a few countries were given to it.
Wooooow!
As the main core vibrated, its power was transmitted to Daein and Lily.
The great man felt the inner power of his dantian filling up quickly. My physical strength recovered in an instant.
“But this…”
The great man looked at Maincore and Lily alternately.
As the magical power of the two people came together in the main core, I felt like I had a closer bond with Lily.
“It looks like it’s under both of our names?”
Now, even without the [Guardian’s Bracelet], I felt like I could easily find out where Lily was if I wanted to.
“What is a joint name?”
“you do not have to know. Unless you and I end up dragging this issue into a legal dispute.”
“Before, you said that anyone who explains things in difficult terms is a fraudster…” “
…….”
The great man avoided Lily’s suspicious gaze and looked at the flame-shaped mark engraved on the back of his hand.
‘Seal of contract.’
It was proof that he had become the new owner of the Demon King Castle. I looked to the side and saw the same thing appearing on the back of Lily’s hand.
Paaaa….
The mark glowed for a moment and then became transparent.
It did not disappear completely, but rather seeped into the body.
By making a contract with the Demon King, the great man was no different from the kings of the demon world.
And that was also the first key to resolving the curiosity Daein had been having all along.
“what? Why is this happening again?”
The great man looked at his left wrist in surprise.
[Tichtal’s Clock] was emitting a soft light.
It was a watch that showed no further changes no matter how many magic stones I fed it to after visiting the continent of Gaia.
The only thing that even Abraxas could not properly understand.
Paaaaat…!
Tichtal’s clock began to light up on its own, and soon a dizzying array of letters began to appear before his eyes.
[ĦŁØIJŦŊđðßœłĸijÐÆħºʼnŊÞºº/] ħºʼnŊÞºÆħœł
]
…
“What is all this…”
A character from an unfamiliar system that even adults who know letters of countless dimensions – even if they don’t know how to read them – are seeing for the first time
.
As Daein looked at the letters in confusion, the unfamiliar letters soon began to change into familiar letters.
