The Demon Fire Worms continued streaming into the pit which was now filling up fast. At the side, there were a bunch of fat worms who actually knew how to climb up to shore to avoid the traffic, through what had to be either a stroke of brilliance on their part or who knows what
Having just been driven off, it was highly unlikely that the Fla Devouring Fishes would return anyti soon.
Furthermore, this battle wasnt a complete waste either. In truth, it was the perfect opportunity to verify whether the golems could overwhelm the fishes under such circumstances.
By the ti the pit was about full, Nola, who had gone chasing after the fleeing fishes, had just returned along with several dozen lower starred Demonic Fire Salamander.
Im back.
Salamanders in tow, she swam up to shore, dragging a wave of lava up with her at the sa ti. In the anti, her gigantic limbs plopped down with thunderous rumble, as if she had no inkling about how huge her body actually was.
Dead?
Mhm. Nola nodded her head before sweeping an eye over her salamander kin. Tone relaxed, she said: These are so of the temporary guards I managed to find. They will aid in guarding the entry and exit points, they can also communicate with the Demon Fire Worms. If there is anything you wish them to do, just tell them.
With regards to the unplanned decision by her to bring more salamanders to help, I wasnt that surprised. As a fellow carnivore, she was probably worried that we would force the Demon Fire Worms to split or even kill them off before they did.
Regardless of what reason she had, this was within my expectations. Rather, what concerned was whether or not they could speak the tongue of the Devil.
Can they speak Devil?
No. She shook her head before explaining: For us salamanders, learning Devil isnt an easy feat. Normally, only Five-stars and above Salamanders would know how to speak in the tongue of the Devil. Even so, they can understand it at least.
As long as they understand, its fine. It wasnt like I could make too much demands of them anyway. With that in mind, I turned around to face No.6 who was respectfully waiting by my side. No.6, go familiarize yourself with them for a while, you guys would probably be working together in the future for a long ti.
Understood, Master.
No.6 was a clever fellow. He knew how to read the mont and he was eloquent as well. Amongst the Devils, he was truly a rare talent. If he really managed to construct a recruitnt point to my satisfaction, I wouldnt mind employing him heavily once more. It wasnt like there was any chance of him betraying anyway, what with our master and servant pact. More importantly, in a world of at brain Devils, trying to find soone smart wasnt easy.
While No.6 started communicating with the Salamanders, I turned my head to face my little sweetie who was currently running circles around the new pit with Cinderel.
Mona, co to Papa for a second.
Hearing that, she happily flew over with Cinderel while calling out in her lodious voice that sounded almost like a chi: Monas coming, Mama.
As always, she dove into and started slobbering all over . A while of having fun passed before I reached out with my hand to try and stop her. However, she deftly shifted herself to the back of my neck while her legs locked themselves securely on my shoulders in what had to be her favorite position thus far, the pony riding stance.
I left her to her own adorable devices for a while longer. Finally, when she had cald down sowhat, I asked what had been on my mind for a while now: Sweetie, Papa wants to know, exactly what was that black magical fog you used a while back against that Demon Fire Sprite?
That was Mo Nas personally modified magic, its really fun.
Modified magicso what youre saying is my little girl is a 100%, absolutely no take backs, bonafide genius?! For her to modify and improve upon spellsunthinkable! Can her talent be anymore unreal, shes not even one years old yet!
You used the Vengeful Soul spell as a base? That fog was vaguely familiar to , it was out of the blue that I rembered her showing off this particular spell to in the past. Back then, the form of the spell was roughly similar, only the color of the fog was different.
Mhm, that was an improved Vengeful Soul. Mo Na answered confidently. Mo Na increased the mana capacity of the spell and added a Shadow Darkness elent to it to give the spell a corrosive effect. Plus, plus, its now more flexible than the original one, it can even avoid so physical attacks because it is smoke
When it ca to her modified magic, Mo Na held nothing back as she told animatedly about her magical expertise. I had to admit, based on what I observed then, this improved Vengeful Soul was definitely a lot more powerful than before. Not only did it perform its role as a observation spell, its destructiveness had doubled, truly a useful composite magic.
Sweetie, can Papa learn this spell?
Mama wants to learn it too?
Mhm, Papa is fascinated by this convenient spell.
Okay, okay! As she sat atop my shoulders, Mo Na happily clapped her little hands in joy: Lets start right now then, Mama
Vengeful Soul was an Undead spell that required certain conditions to be t in order to be cast, being of the Summoning branch and all. To cast it, one had to first trap a soulNecromancers had a variety of thods to do so, Mo Na was naturally no exception either. This spell had a broad range of uses, of which included observation and killing. Unfortunately, it had one downside in that it was a one-ti use spell. On the bright side, as long as it was only used to observe an enemy, this spell could be reused multiple tis.
When used for combat purposes however, it had only one way of fighting, and that was to approach an enemy and blow itself up. Its explosive power was derived from the mana it had stored; kind of like an alternative world version of a human bomb.
For ordinary Necromancers, the casting conditions for this spell wasnt easy. First of all, a soul was needed. Things were different for however. Because my mana had a degree of intelligence, casting Vengeful Soul would cause my mana to automatically coalesce into a being of low intelligence. In other words, all those requirents didnt apply to .
Can it be enhanced with flas? Having seen what Mo Na did to the spell, an interesting thought occurred to which I voiced out. Those of the Lust evolutionary branch have always found themselves most talented in Flas and Shadow Darkness. Since the Vengeful Soul can be enhanced with Shadow Darkness, shouldnt Flas beahahemI almost forgot, Flas are the antithesis of the Undead
Mo Na tried that before as well, but the Flas always ended up countering the Undead aspect of the spell. Every try so far has ended in failure. Having said that, her eyes turned a little gloomy.
Seems like my little baby has been trying out a lot of things while I wasnt looking.
Having paused for a second in thought, Mo Na continued, albeit in a slightly unsure tone: Mama, perhaps you can try it out with your Nether Flasthose flas are special after all
Nether Flas? Thats right, each ti I used them to burn an enemy, their bodies would burn up but their souls would be intact, didnt that an that the Nether Flas arent harmful to Souls? Or perhaps I can control it such that it wont cause harm to souls?
Waitthat might be true for others, but not . If I were to cast the spell, I wouldnt have to trap a soul beforehand since my mana acts as a complete subsitute. And since those Nether Flas are born from my manadoesnt that an that I can just use the Vengeful Souls to summon Nether Flas, thenwhat should I call this new spell? Nether Flas Vengeful Soul? Or perhaps, Burning Vengeance?
Hold on a second, isnt Burning Vengeance that Brand guysbah, forget it, lets just try it out for now.
In order prepare myself well, I first lowered Mo Na back onto the ground before following the steps she taught .
It was a complicated process, not to ntion that I was trying to modify it right off the bat. Thanks to that bit of greediness, I had to attempt several tis before it finally succeeded.
*Whoosh*
A fiery black skull, composed entirely of Nether Flas, coalesced into a floating object on my right palm. This was my version of the Vengeful Soul. Even though it differed a lot in terms of appearance from Mo Nas one, the important thing was that it was more destructive than her modified version, by not just a few tis too! After all, these flas were destruction incarnate.
Whaa~~Mamas amazing! Seeing succeed, she imdiately threw a fervent look full of worship. The little scamp seed even more excited than when she had learnt sothing new herself. With a clap and a jump, she continued cheering: Mamas so amazing, Mo Nas spell was improved upon just like that!
Naturally, I was more than happy to accept her worship.
With regards to how smoothly this all wenthow should I put itthe spell itself was extrely suited to and my unique strengths. Thanks to that, I hardly encountered any difficulties in picking up this spell. Had it been any other spell, I probably would have gotten a headache.
Thats an interesting spell you got there In the midst of her break, Nolas interest was imdiately aroused by my summoning of the modified Vengeful Soul. That must be the flas you used to kill that Demonic Fire Sprite and the Fla Devouring Fishestruly fascinating
How about you try it out then?
Seeing her so intrigued by the flas, I couldnt help but poke fun at her, directing the fiery black mass towards her in the process.
Hey, dont point that thing at
As the modified Vengeful floated towards her, Nola practically leapt out of her skin as her four limbs frantically retreated backwards in an unexpected show of feebleness while trying to distance herself from that black mass.
