Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Demon Ability, Glacial Finger!”

rlin was overwheld with emotions when he saw the large words written in Molta language in the book. It was as if these golden words had beco “alive”.

“What is Demon Ability? Is it a sort of spell?”

rlin frowned. He had no idea what Demon Ability was. He had not heard of this term before even in the Dark Magic Region.

Right when rlin wanted to continue reading the next page, the sounds of horses rang before him. Following that, a black wave of people arrived before rlin. It was Old Wilson and his heavy armored knights.

“rlin, what’s wrong?”

Old Wilson approached rlin quickly and glanced at him.

rlin kept the book and shook his head slightly. “Father, I’m alright. Oh right, how are Count Selin and the others?”

Old Wilson glanced at the bodies on the ground. He knew that these bodies were all powerful Spell Casters when they were alive, but they were all killed by rlin. He was rather shocked by this scene. He did not know how strong rlin truly was now.

“Count Selin is commanding the army to chase after the defeated army of Lebis City. Moreover, it seems that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take Lebis City under his control.”

Old Wilson glimpsed at the soldiers who were still indulging in killing far away from them. His thoughts about Count Selin were not far off from the reality.

This ti, Longardi had truly given his all since he had gathered all soldiers and brought them here. After this defeat, there would only be a small number of soldiers who could make it back alive to Lebis City. They had no chance of defending against Count Selin’s army at all.

However, rlin did not need to concern himself with this matter. He only needed to solve the danger of Prakash City and leave the rest to Count Selin.

“Father, let’s go. Count Selin will deal with the rest.”

Thereafter, rlin rode his horse and slowly returned to Prakash City.

...

After the battle, Prakash City appeared to be bustling with activities. Many had received news that the army of Lebis City had suffered an unsightly defeat, so countless people were cheering in excitent.

Even rlin had noticed the sincere smiles on many servants in Wilson Castle.

After he returned to his room, he instructed his servants to not let anyone disturb him. Then, he took out the strange book that he found in Wizard Heghar’s ring.

rlin had already read the first page. It was his first ti hearing about Demon Ability. He had no idea what that was, so he proceeded to read the second page.

The second page wrote about a detailed explanation of Demon Ability, thus rlin read the text carefully.

“Demon Ability, or Pandora Demon Ability, is a strange power manifested from the combination of many techniques such as spells, alchemy, runology, potions, and such!”

“Glacial Finger is one of the Ice-type Demon Abilities. The conditions to cultivate it include – one must construct First-level spell, Frigid Ice, and possess hundred years’ ice bone marrow of strange creature!”

rlin read the book attentively. The effect of Pandora Demon Ability was not outlined in detail in this book except for an introduction of Glacial Finger. Once one had cultivated it, one could possess a powerful freezing skill.

However, the book did not explain how powerful this freezing skill would be. In rlin’s opinion, the freezing effect would be significant.

There were two stages to cultivate Glacial Finger. Firstly, he needed a First-level spell, Frigid Ice and hundred years’ ice bone marrow. anwhile, the second stage was more complicated and difficult than the first stage. He would need a Fourth-level spell and thousand years’ ice essence.

However, rlin had not heard of either hundred years’ ice bone marrow or thousand years’ ice essence before.

On the other hand, the First-level spell needed in the first stage of Glacial Finger was Frigid Ice that rlin wanted to construct as well. Since his Mind Power was still insufficient, he still could not construct it.

rlin closed his eyes slightly and rearranged the information in his head. The strange Pandora Demon Ability, Glacial Finger he obtained from Heghar would be a powerful addition. Since rlin was also preparing to construct Frigid Ice, he would not mind cultivating Glacial Finger if he got hold of hundred years’ ice bone marrow.

Following that, rlin closed his eyes completely and began ditating.

...

After a month, Count Selin had led his army and successfully taken down Lebis City. Instantly, Count Selin’s influence had doubled. Now, the entire Prakash City was an extrely powerful small-scaled city-state.

After Count Selin achieved his objective, he did not forget his promise to rlin. Thus, he announced publicly to promote rlin from baron to viscount and to appoint Old Wilson to a baron.

It was extrely rare to have two aristocrats in a family in Prakash City. After all, noble titles were inherited throughout the family. The fact that the Wilson family had two aristocrats symbolized that the Wilson family was flourishing.

A year ago, the Wilson family was only settlers from a faraway land but now they had beco an influential family in Prakash City.

anwhile, rlin stayed in Wilson Castle all the while. When he had ti during the day, he would accompany Avril and Charise, while at night, he made the best use of his ti to make potions.

The potion rlin wanted to make was Phantasmal Magic Potion, which required extrely precious materials. The potion materials he had gotten from the silver-haired old man were only enough to make two Phantasmal Magic Potions. Moreover, there was a huge chance that he might fail in making the potion, so rlin did not try his luck back in the Dark Magic Region. He was afraid that he might use up all potion materials and it would be difficult to find the materials again.

After he left the Dark Magic Region, rlin realized how scarce the resources were out here. It was even difficult to find so of the most common potion materials, not to ntion such precious materials for Phantasmal Magic Potion.

Due to this reason, unsurprisingly, many Spell Casters preferred to stay in deserted areas. The most important reason was probably due to a lack of potion materials out here, to the extent that they could not support the daily cultivation of a Spell Caster.

rlin planned to make Phantasmal Magic Potion to enhance the strength of his Mind Power. Even if he failed in making it, he could still make so Blueberry Potion. In Wizard Vyksa’s ring, there were still so potion materials left to make Blueberry Potion.

It was extrely quick to increase his Mind Power by using a potion. The incrent of Mind Power was also much more than the incrent of spending long hours in ditation.

“Begin the process of Phantasmal Magic Potion!”

rlin instructed the Matrix to prepare the potion. He had already gotten used to preparing potions by now but he did not have much confidence in preparing Phantasmal Magic Potion.

One hour, two hours...

Soon, rlin prepared Phantasmal Magic Potion according to the instructions given by the Matrix. Unfortunately, he failed in preparing the potion after verification by the Matrix.

What was left now was the last portion of potion materials. Nevertheless, rlin was determined to make the potion. In the Dark Magic Region, he had made about five Phantasmal Magic Potions, but only the final potion worked.

Thus, rlin could not be sure that he could make it successfully with the last portion of potion materials.

After a few hours, rlin continued the preparation of Phantasmal Magic Potion. This ti, the potion was deed qualified by the Matrix.

“I finally made it!”

rlin was overwheld with elation as he was successful the second ti. A large part of his success was due to luck since rlin could not ensure he would succeed when he made the potion for the second ti.

rlin did not take Phantasmal Magic Potion directly. Instead, he began to make Blueberry Potion.

It was relatively easier to make Blueberry Potion. He had obtained the formula from the cloaked man, Wizard Vyksa. Vyksa’s Mind Power was strong mainly because of Blueberry Potion.

Hence, rlin wanted to make Blueberry Potion and take it with Phantasmal Magic Potion to increase his Mind Power as quickly as possible. He planned to construct another First-level spell in the shortest amount of ti.

Although the making of Blueberry Potion was relatively easier than that of Phantasmal Magic Potion, rlin was defeated by its success rate. He had made a handful of Blueberry Potions continuously but only three were successful.

Without potion materials, rlin could not make more, so he stopped. Soon, rlin was ready to take the potion and observe how far his Mind Power could improve.

Back when rlin first consud Phantasmal Magic Potion, his Mind Power actually improved by thirty percent.

Then, rlin rested for a long while. When his Mind Power had resud to its peak, he consud Phantasmal Magic Potion. Instantly, there seed to be a warm sensation which quickly expanded in his head, which made it extrely unbearable for him.

The sensation he felt this ti was the sa as the last ti he took Phantasmal Magic Potion. Fortunately, rlin’s Mind Power was strong enough to endure the suffering.

After so ti, the sensation in rlin’s head slowly cleared up while his Mind Power had improved significantly. From his initial estimation, his Mind Power had at least increased by twenty percent, albeit not as exaggerated as thirty percent during the last round.

Increasing Mind Power by twenty percent in just a few hours was much quicker than the speed of ditation. However, he had to pay a great cost for this as well. If he had not been successful in making the potion, he would have wasted countless potion materials. He would need a lot of contribution points to exchange for the potion materials at the Resource Tower.

Although the potion could increase his Mind Power rapidly, it was simply unrealistic to rely solely on a potion.

rlin did not stop here. After taking Phantasmal Magic Potion, he continued to take Blueberry Potion.

The effect of Blueberry Potion was slightly worse than that of Phantasmal Magic Potion but the total effect of three Blueberry Potions combined was comparable to that of Phantasmal Magic Potion.

Both Phantasmal Magic Potion and Blueberry Potions had increased rlin’s Mind Power by half. Now, rlin felt that he could construct another First-level spell.

“It’s ti to decide which spell to construct now.”

rlin focused his attention on this matter and started looking at the First-level spells that he kept in his ring. Since he did not have much Mind Power, he could only choose the spell that could assist him the most.
