Episode 5
“It’s a strange thing. I thought that recent black magicians were only youngsters.”
“I’m different from the thugs that are spread out in the valley.”
I’m a bit ashamed to say this myself, though.
“He is a genius.”
“Why are you blushing when you say that?”
Because it’s embarrassing.
“… … What the boy said is interesting. He seems to have his own qualities, so I can’t take it as a bluff.”
“It’s worth it. Wouldn’t it be fun to sign a contract thinking you’re investing?”
The number of warlocks has decreased, and their quality has deteriorated to a serious extent.
Even if he dismisses my words as bluffing and goes back, is the black magician he will summon next really worthy of the devil’s attention?
It can’t be!
“Well, it must be worthwhile to corrupt such a child.”
“… … I hope you can bear with that.”
“Whoops, okay. I will trust you and make a contract.”
It seems that he has the will to follow me.
If you don’t like it, it’s obvious that you want to play with it, but it doesn’t matter.
“Boy, what is your name?”
“draft.”
After confirming the intention to make a contract and both sides agreeing, the restraints of the chains extending from the summoning circle are weakened, and Emily, who has gained freedom, approaches me.
“I will make you accept the contract of ministry. But you also know that ministering to demons means you have to endure them, right?”
“Of course!”
When I nodded and confirmed the final decision, Emily smiled and pressed herself close to me.
As if deliberately emphasizing the texture of the slowly pressing flesh, I firmly grasped my back and the back of my head with both arms.
“… … I’ll make sure you really become that vessel.”
I knew what to do.
Anyway, it’s a setting in the game.
“Embrace the devil.”
Make eye contact and overlap your lips.
In order to establish a contract of ministry, there must be a spiritual passage that circulates the devil and the summoner’s demonic energy.
In order to connect them, it would be necessary to be close to each other and send and receive energy through the place where magic resistance is weakest, such as the mouth.
To put it bluntly, it’s like having to wire yourself to install hardware.
‘It’s only one of the ways.’
How embarrassing it is that you have to choose this.
It’s as if he’s trying to gauge how far he can keep his sanity without succumbing to this blatant temptation.
In reality, as the demonic energy that Emily exudes circulates through her body, a strange heat urges my instincts.
the essence of that demon.
It’s the quality that attracts people that affects them.
If you go over it, it can be said that you lose your qualifications to work.
“And hand over your essence.”
Emily’s fangs bite my lip.
Drops of blood spilled out. Upon accepting the magical information contained within, a contract is established in earnest.
《The devil’s ministry succeeds.》
《Succubus – Emily’s contract is established.》
《You will understand the nature of contract demons in a small way.》
Magi continues and circulates.
Emily’s presence stabilized, and her presence deepened.
Now she has permission to stay on this land as long as I am alive and the contract is in effect.
that’s the contract
I also came to know Emily’s true nature, and also understood the original name that symbolized the demon’s existence.
‘… … It’s not a name to be called in a human voice.’
On the contrary, she too would have come to know the qualities of me.
“It wasn’t just bluffing. draft.”
He endured the devil and accomplished the work.
It means acknowledging the contract and accepting me as the owner.
“Unless the light of your soul changes, the meaning of the contract I handed you today will never change.”
There is no change in leisure and s*xiness, but it means that at least the minimum amount of respect and respect will be given.
“Please don’t disappoint this sister.”
Understanding that, I also nodded.
“Then take good care of me in the future, Emily. … … And I won’t even say a word.”
“oh? What is it?”
“… … Put some clothes on now.”
If I drag a naked female demon to class, I think I’ll become a villain in many ways.
“Uh~. Would you like to feel like this?”
As Emily flicked her fingers lightly, a dense dark aura covered the surface of her body.
Is it materializing demonic energy to form clothes?
A feat that only demons can do.
Soon, her body was wrapped in a black dress that felt like her body line was exposed.
“I think it’s your taste. How about it?”
“It’s good enough to see.”
“I can’t be honest.”
A succubus instinctively reads human desires.
Well, even if you don’t have that kind of talent, you’ll know my true feelings just by looking at me.
“If there’s anything else you want, just let me know.”
It’s not just clothes, it’s because it can reflect things like body shape, he adds.
“Be sure to remember.”
never forget
* * *
As soon as I achieved the result of establishing a contract with the succubus Emily, I immediately set out to achieve my original goal for today.
Originally, the reason why summoning magic was used was to prepare a plan to solidify the foundation for one’s own upbringing.
“draft? What should this older sister do now? huh? What can I do for you?”
Let’s say there’s an order to be given, Emily says as if she’s expecting what I’ll give her.
I felt like I was being teased halfway through.
“Tell me about a fight or whatever.”
“I’ll check first, but of course I can use the energy drain, right?”
“Of course. What kind of devil do you think this sister is?”
It’s not just an ornamental demon.
succubus.
“Wouldn’t it be a disqualification if a demon that handles spirits can’t use it?”
energy drain.
A characteristic skill that succubus-type demons are born with first among demons.
Of course Emily could use it too.
“Then use that energy drain and use it on all the weeds around the cabin.”
“It’s not that difficult… … . huh? Job… … candle?”
Emily is puzzled, as if she did not understand.
Usually, the target of energy drain is a human or a monster.
Because it is a skill that attacks the opponent and steals their physical strength, while replenishing the strength of themselves and their contractors.
“First of all, since it’s an order, I’ll do it… … . Is this really enough? really?”
“of course!”
As Emily flicked her hand lightly, blue particles gathered around her center and were absorbed.
A scene where the energy forcibly sucked from the weeds in the area gathers.
“Hmm, it looks convenient for summer weeding.”
My eyebrows twitch involuntarily as I watch the sight of the overgrown weeds drying up and crumbling and scattering like ashes.
Is it because I feel like I am giving up my life?
‘Certainly, energy drain is such a skill… … .’
The absorption effect of energy drain is strong.
For example, Mana Drain, which is backwards compatible.
Unlike skills that are used to replenish one’s own mana by purely absorbing mana, energy drain has a more powerful effect.
‘In the game, it has MP and HP recovery effects at the same time… … .’
Unlike mana drain, which only absorbs mana, energy drain absorbs all essential energy.
In other words, regularly.
The essence of a succubus is a demon that governs its fundamental energy.
If you put your mind to it, you can take away the whole creature’s energy with nutrients.
Plants with only a small amount of energy will be turned into ashes just by being placed within the range of effect of the skill.
‘Because if you’re a human, there’s no way you’ll end up like that unless you’re determined and painstakingly absorbed.’
The resistance of drain-type skills is proportional to the creature’s will and intelligence.
As long as they are not as big as the succubus queen, humans will not be turned to ashes just because they are the target of a drain skill.
‘But if I raise the skill level or develop Emily’s own abilities, will she become stronger?’
While I was seriously thinking about the skill, Emily returned to me after harvesting all the energy from the weeds in the area as commanded.
Somehow, I feel a little vain.
That’s because I’ve been working hard on weeds with a skill that’s no different from being a symbol of a devil.
“What should I do with the absorbed energy?”
It’s raked from weeds, so not too many.
How about a minor recovery potion?
In the original game, the purpose of energy drain is as a recovery skill.
It is used to inflict more than a certain amount of damage on an enemy and recover a certain amount of that damage.
However, it has not worked for me yet.
because it hasn’t been handed over yet.
“You can just pass it on. Xian, can I give it to you according to your taste?”
“taste?”
“It seems like they usually like to give it this way.”
Without further explanation, Emily stroked her lips with the tip of her index finger.
Oh, is that it?
“Since Xi’an is still young, or would you prefer this one?”
Saying so, her hand goes down.
down the collarbone. down gradually.
With a chest that exudes a strong presence even though it is covered by clothes.
As if emphasizing it, if you hold up your chest with your hands, it will distort beautifully.
Aww! Was there such a way!
“Who from broad daylight! Are you going to cling to it!”
“oh? Didn’t I say that? … … But what if it’s not during the day?”
Which method is the most efficient?
The passion for learning is burning, but let’s hold back for now.
“Unfortunately, there are other methods I want to try right now.”
The purpose of the summoning attempt was to summon a familiar to help me in my training.
this is part of it
“Transfer the collected energy into this bottle.”
“It looks like a simple wooden bottle?”
“Yeah, a plain wooden bottle. What’s inside is plain water.”
At the back of the studio, a waterway flows as if it were dug artificially.
Well, since it also doubles as a black mage’s workshop, of course you’ll need water.
All you need is a properly equipped place.
“draft? If you try to put it in a crude bottle like this, it will all just scatter and disappear.”
“I guess so.”
Energy, in short, cannot be contained in a wooden bottle.
To put it likewise, it is the same reason as not being able to scoop up water with an open cast net.
“So I’m going to mix the water and the extracted energy with my skill and combine it into medicine.”
Because what I acquired for that purpose was the basic skill of the alchemy system.
Alchemy is a class that can be used only after understanding and mastering four major processes.
check the material.
extract the substance
purify the substance.
combine materials
The result is created through four processes, and the high-level alchemy is a complex application of these four processes.
“… … do you combine? Cyan than that? Do you know how to do alchemy?”
“Once you see it, you will know.”
I didn’t have to explain all the painful things. I’m not really a teacher at all.
As instructed, Emily pours the energy extracted from the weeds into the wooden bottle at the pace I directed.
and me at the same time.
《Basic alchemy skill is activated.》
The effect of basic alchemy skills is to combine prepared materials.
The energy shed and the water in the bottle stick to each other due to the effect of the skill, and a new result is completed.
《Combine an item.》
《You have created the stock solution of your physical strength.》
As expected.
The energy drain of a succubus is to deprive the target of all nutritional elements.
That is, there is a part in line with the process of extraction in alchemy.
‘Originally, I was thinking of using slime instead of an extractor.’
In order to use alchemy, equipment is required.
Among them, the most necessary is a refiner to extract the object.
The academy also has equipment to use, but I wouldn’t lend it out for personal use.
It’s expensive even for an individual to have, so I can’t afford to buy it now.
then.
‘Then I’ll have to use a substitute.’
Originally, it was intended to use the slime instead of an extractor, but with the succubus’ skill, you can extract only the desired energy more efficiently.
In short, money hardens.
“So you’re trying to apply it to a combination using an energy drain. … … Were you able to write like that?”
As she narrowed her eyes and looked at the finished vial, Emily admired it earnestly.
I understand quickly.
Literally, using this theory, even dog poop can be used as medicine.
Of course, I wouldn’t really do that.
