Chapter 108.1: Part 1

Oh Abyss and Demon Lord,

Force upon me the flow of chaos,

The righteous trials shall become the power to banish light,

When all returns to darkness,

The world shall lie beneath my feet.

But let me not be consumed by chaos,

And do not let me forget their names.

Ah, all creation,

Bow before me.

A month has passed since then.

"Oh Abyss and Demon Lord..."

I muttered the newly acquired incantations and frowned.

Even after a whole month had passed, I still couldn't understand the contents of this incantation.

Originally, it was Adel and Bares' secret method.

They clearly indicated who they were talking to.

But the newly acquired merged cultivation technique sounded like gibberish.

It was a complete mess, so to speak.

Originally, the word 'chaos' was not included in Adel's secret method, but now it was firmly in place.

I still haven't figured out what happened back then.

It was definitely something serious.

It was something that was clearly beyond my perception and common sense, so it was natural that I couldn't understand it.

Still, there were two facts that I could be sure of.

'Probably, the one who tore through the abyss was chaos.'

Otherwise, the secret methods of the abyss and Bares could not have been fused.

The identity of that chain was chaos.

However, I still haven't figured out the activation conditions.

'It seems like there is some kind of condition.'

When I learned Absolute Concealment and when I borrowed Adel's power.

And even now, what do they have in common?

It was hard to find a clear commonality.

That's why it's a headache.

I feel like I've hit a wall again.

But if you ask me if there were no results at all, that's not true.

'The Demon God seems to know a lot about chaos.'

Chaos, an ability that had been shrouded in mystery until now.

If I ever meet the Demon God again, I will be able to ask for his advice.

Later, when I visit Bares' territory, I should go to the temple.

This was a must.

I also needed to find out why my soul wasn't enslaved even though I used the Stroke.

Since Rene thinks I'm a priest, I should be able to visit the temple with some kind of excuse.

Before I knew it, the final exams were approaching.

Once the final exams were over, it would be a vacation, and I could go outside Sytan.

'That's good, but...'

There was one thing that kept nagging me like a thorn in my throat.

'...What kind of penalty did I get this time?'

Anything related to Chaos takes something away from me.

Absolute Concealment is temporary, but it takes away one of my senses.

When I borrowed Adel's power, it took something precious from me.

'I still don't know what it took.'

One thing for sure is that it's not my memories.

The content of the discarded setting was something I didn't know from the time I became Adel, not when we invaded the human world.

Perhaps it's something that was buried after being discarded for several years.

That means Adel took something else.

The important thing is that something else was taken away from me when I didn't even know what was taken before.

So, this time...

My body trembled.

I shook my head to shake off my anxiety.

I haven't noticed it for a month, so it shouldn't interfere with my daily life.

Anyway,

The important thing now was whether the new Mana Method was better than the Mana Method of Bares.

"...I can definitely feel a change."

Rather, I felt it clearly.

The moment I acquired the new Mana Method, I broke through a wall.

It was similar to the feeling I had when I borrowed 20% of Adel's power.

My five senses became sharper.

In addition, I noticed that the mana I possessed had also increased significantly.

I chanted the status window in my mind.

'Status window.'

[ Arsene Adel ]

: Race - [ Half Demon ]

: Tendency - [ Chaos ]

: Talent - [ Position Exchange 'Ⅶ' ]

: Trait - [ Interest ] [ Absorption ] [ Killing Intent Ⅳ ] [ Pitch Black ] [ Mana Manipulation ] [ Eye of Arrogance ] [ Telekinesis Ⅱ ] [ Sword Lacquer Ⅱ ][ Samuel ]

: Mana - [ 2821 ⇒ 4372 ]

'This is it.'

I exclaimed in admiration after checking the status window.

First, the level of the Killing Intent trait increased.

And then Position Exchange.

It was the moment when a month's worth of effort shone.

I wanted to cheer, but I held back and slowly looked through the status window.

'Perfect.'

It couldn't be more perfect.

The Darkness trait changed to the Pitch-Black trait.

I had finally achieved the 'evolution' of the trait.

Furthermore, after enduring hardships, both Telekinesis and Sword Lacquer had risen by one level each.

'Even if Sword Lacquer reaches its final stage, it doesn't mean that fighting spirit can be mastered.'

Fighting Spirit and Sword Lacquer are completely different areas.

It meant that even if Sword Lacquer proficiency was cultivated to the extreme, the fighting spirit could not be mastered.

It must be natural since some kind of enlightenment must be achieved.

Still, if I continue to grow in this state, mastering fighting spirit won't be just a dream.

Following this, there were two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.

First, the first piece of good news was,

― Beep!

― .......

The familiar recognition test for Gu poison and Sijo was just around the corner.

I also obtained information on the criteria for the familiar test.

They already met the criteria without needing to train.

In other words, familiar recognition was practically guaranteed.
