Chapter 116: Ulysses (1)
"Are you sure you want to use my name?" Ulysses looked at Aya, who was flying around in front of him, humming a little happy tune. He was just saying it.
"Yeah! I'm sure, Ulysses is a good name! I think this kid will like it too." Aya flew to the black wooden boat that had been named "Ulysses" and said happily.
"Forget it." Ulysses sighed. This name was better than Skull, but after a closer look at the Ulysses, which was surrounded by black mist, he found something not appropriate.
"Aya, can you think of a way to change the look of this boat? This Ulysses looks too weird, Cherie and Rasputin might be a little..." Ulysses frowned.
"Oh. That's right. From Cherie and Rasputin's point of view, this boat seems a bit too weird. In that case. I'll add a confusing illusion on this boat, so it will look like an ordinary ship." Aya thought about Ulysses's words carefully, and thought it made some sense.
"That would be great. How many days will it take to complete?" Ulysses asked impatiently.
"It will just take a few days! As long as you go to the ship and summon Judgment of Abyss to replenish the magic circle inside with magic energy, I can complete the transformation in a day or two." After speaking, Aya flew over to the deck of Ulysses..
"Master, you can come up now." Following Aya's shout, a long staircase slowly lowered from the Ulysses. Ulysses followed the stairs to the top of the ship.
After arriving on the deck, Ulysses unexpectedly discovered that although the Ulysses looked like it was completely surrounded by black mist from the outside, the mist could not even be seen from the deck of the ship. It seemed that the black mist disappeared from the moment he boarded the deck.
"This is strange." Ulysses looked around the ship in a puzzled manner, and confirmed that there was indeed no black mist, but when he walked down the steps on the deck to the bottom of the ship, the black mist appeared again.
"Master, what are you doing? Why are you walking up and down the stairs?" Aya, who had already flown into the cabin, came out again, watching Ulysses curiously walking around on the deck and the ground.
"Uh! It's nothing, Aya, take me inside." Seeing Aya's puzzled look, Ulysses was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. But he still planned to find time to ask Aya more about the Ulysses. He was actually very curious about these things.
"Mhm! Master, come with me. The place where you need to summon Judgment of Abyss is the power room of this ship. It is at the bottom of the ship." Aya turned around and walked into the cabin with Ulysses.
‘Power room? What is that? Isn't this ship sailing by the wind?' Hearing Aya's words, Ulysses was a little confused.
"The power room of this ship is actually similar to the power room of Titan Poseidon. With it, this ship can sail on the sea without wind, and the speed will be much faster than ordinary ships. Although this ship is impossible to be faster than Titan Poseidon, it will only take a month or so for us to return to the continent." As if seeing Ulysses' confusion, Aya explained to him the function of the power room.
"Oh. One month!" Ulysses was stunned. He didn't expect that it would take the Ulysses about a month to sail to the continent, but he was mentally prepared to sail at sea for half a year.
"Aya, you are really amazing! You can even build such a ship and it only took you a few days. I believed that even the people in the mage guild are not capable of this!" After returning to his senses, Ulysses began to admire Aya's ability heartily.
"Of course! I'm the familiar spirit and guardian of the Book of the Demon King, how can I be a familiar spirit if I can't do anything like this! Ah! Master, we are here." Aya proudly threw out her chest, and at this time, they had reached the bottom of the ship, and a door with a sign "No Entry" appeared in front of them.
"In the name of the familiar spirit Aya, open the door." A purple light flashed on the door as Aya chanted the spell, and then it opened automatically with a "bang!" Behind the door was a spacious room. But what was not commensurate with the size of the room was that there was almost nothing in the room, except for the huge magic circle on the ground.
This was a six-pointed star magic circle, but there was a small round magic circle around each of the six horns, and the middle of the six-pointed star magic circle was carved with countless magic runes that Ulysses didn't recognize. The entire magic circle didn't seem to be drawn with any brush, but was directly carved on the floor of the room.
"Can I summon the Judgment of Abyss now?" Ulysses stretched out his hand, planning to call Judgment of Abyss out.
"Wait! No. If you want to instill power into this magic circle, the Judgment of Abyss you summoned by yourself will not work, I must assist you." Aya hurriedly stopped Ulysses' actions.
"No? Why? Is my strength not enough?" Ulysses stopped and looked at Aya suspiciously.
"It's not a matter of strength but the nature of strength. Master, you haven't practiced the power of the dark element yourself, right?" Aya said seriously.
"Of course, I will never learn dark power," Ulysses said without hesitation.
"That's it! Judgment of Abyss lowered its power in order to cooperate with you, so most of its dark power and additional attributes have been sealed by itself. Now the Judgment of Abyss summoned by the master yourself is just a Phantasm with a little dark power, and the power to instill in this magic circle must be the purest dark power, so the Judgment of Abyss master you summoned cannot do this." Aya explained to Ulysses carefully why the Judgment of Abyss he summoned was not working.
"Oh. Will there be any problem with summoning Judgment of Abyss in full form? I don't want to suffer any backlashes anymore." Thinking of the last fight with the big octopus, Ulysses's body was faintly aching. The feeling of backlashes was really uncomfortable.
"Master, don't worry, it takes only one or two minutes of Judgment of Abyss power to replenish the magic circle, and it can last about ten days, so there is no possibility of backlash. Didn't I already say that with the master's current body, it can withstand the Judgment of Abyss' full form for ten minutes. One or two minutes is nothing at all." Aya's words dispelled Ulysses' concerns.
"Okay then, you can call it." Ulysses closed his eyes and began to wait for the coming pain.
"In the name of the familiar spirit Aya! The demon sword sleeping in the abyss! Wake up to the covenant! Come! Judgment of Abyss! Come in the hands of my master!" With the sound of Aya's spell, the dark red demon king's sword Judgment of Abyss once again appeared in Ulysses's hands.
"Uh!!!" The long-lost pain swept through Ulysses's body again. He gritted his teeth, desperately holding back the painful scream, waiting for the moment Judgment of Abyss' eyes opened.
"Ka!" As he wished, Judgment of Abyss' eyes quickly opened. At the moment it opened, a dark power that was stronger than any previous summons filled every part of his body. The hardness of all the muscles on the hands, feet, chest... all of the body seemed to have suddenly strengthened countless times. Ulysses even suspected that these muscles were already harder than steel.
"Huh!" Feeling the surging dark power in his body, Ulysses even felt like he had mastered everything in an instant. What he didn't know was that his eyes had turned into dazzling golden color.
"It's really amazing! This seems to be the power that is close to the apex of the seventh level. Is this the function of the realm of infinite desire?" Feeling the terrifying dark power that seemed to overflow from Ulysses, Aya obviously surprised.
Ulysses did not answer her words, but put the Judgment of Abyss in front of his eyes. Feeling the terrifying power of the sword, he was convinced that if he swung a sword with all his strength now, this Ulysses would be turned into countless fragments in an instant.
"Okay, Master! We should start instilling the power into the magic circle. The method is actually very simple. You just need to insert the Judgment of Abyss in the middle of the magic circle, and then instill the power in it. When the magic circle is fully illuminated. You can stop, and the magic circle will not be able to bear any more magic energy." Aya flew to the middle of the magic circle, then pointed at her feet, indicating that that was where Ulysses was going to insert the sword.
