I was stuck thinking in my own workshop. Today we will investigate Rainiās demonic stones and explore ways to control his power. On top of that, I had concerns. But I didnāt say that to anyone.
(Raini can remain human when control is achieved by instilling magic into the Demon Stone�
Even though I thought about the possibility, I didnāt say it because I couldnāt yet make a decision.
Vampires are demons changed from wizards. And a vampire is half dead. When you awaken the power of the Demon Stone, itās impossible that your body will suddenly become half decayed. After a long examination, Raini remains a legitimate human being.
āWhen you get the art of controlling demon stones, itās unknown if you can just stay human,ā
I donāt know if a vampire can remit a child. Maybe thereās an individual difference, or maybe Raini really had a miracle-like chance of God receiving raw.
It is unknown what changes will happen to Raini when he puts the power of the Demon Stone under control. I can only make speculation because there is no precedent. Thatās why I couldnāt say it. I canāt believe you could be a monster if you help.
āI hope you roll in the right directionā
I wish there was nothing. It would be ideal if it would at least fit to the point of being attacked by a blood-sucking urge. Even though I know of the existence of a vampire, it is riddled to the ecology. Thatās enough to add a variety of dorsal fin tail fins to your story.
I canāt help but worry. The clock needle never stops, because we can only do what we can little by little.
Never mind. I leave the workshop. I only came here to get the tools I needed in the first place. If we left for the courtyard as soon as possible, Yufi and Raini and Ilia would be waiting there.
āSorry to keep you waiting! Then letās start practicing control of Rainiās magic.ā
āYes, thank youā
Raini nods with a tight look. Until the other day, Raini lacked the hegemony to say some pretty girl of dim fortune, but now I feel full of motivation. Nod that what you are willing to do is a good thing.
Well, itās Mana Blade who gives it to Raini like that. This dish boasts some of the finest craftsmanship and stability in the Demonic Props. Letās get used to this first.
āThis is the magic item I made called Mana Blade. Even magic has magic to make magic blades, right?
āYes, did you make this by touching it?
āYes. So, the use of this instills the necessary magicā¦ā
Set up Mana Blade after a short distance. Raini sends an interesting gaze at the blade, which is constituted by magic. Next to it, Yufi was letting his cheeks loosen as he nodded at Rainiās reaction that he was too.
āThen why donāt we use Raini?ā
āYes. Inject magic⦠with doing it magically⦠just likeā¦ā
Whimpering the steps several times, Raini pours his magic on Mana Blade. Yeah, it feels like I saw it. There doesnāt seem to be a problem with the flow of magic. I donāt feel weird, and I donāt see any abnormalities.
And lightly Mana Blade was producing a blade of magic. Raini is seriously observing Mana Blade and trying to shake it gently.
āWow, this is amazing. Itās easier than just making magic! I wonder if I prefer this one. Iāve never used a sword or anythingā¦ā
āI prefer magic because itās wider, but I guess this is better for those who arenāt good at magic.ā
āUm, compared to Master Uphilia, yeah, a little⦠on a boulderā
Raini is smiling bitterly at Ufiliaās words. Thatās right, youāre the head of a genius child. Yufi is. Because it is the privilege of those who can do better freely on their own.
Now, while Rainiās magic flow is fine, shall we keep doing some check-ups?
āRaini, I wonder if you could intervene a few times to get in and out of the blade. Because Iām a little curious about how Demon Stone reacts.ā
āAh, yesā¦. Speaking of which, where is Demon Stone in your body?
That, I didnāt tell you. I point my chest at Raini tilting his neck. It was the heart that pointed it out.
āHere. I think itās stuck with the heartā
ā⦠to the heart. Um, if I remove that, I wonāt die instantlyā¦ā¦?
āItās okay. Itās a last resort, so letās hope there isnāt one.ā
āI donāt like being ripped out of my chest and dyingā¦ā¦!
Oh, I think Iām overmotivated in a strange place. Well, whatever the history, itās desirable to be motivated.
Then excuse me. I turn around behind Raini and hug Raini so he can keep his back. Put those hands firmly on your chestā¦ā¦ yeah, I guess theyāre bigger than me. No, this could be pretty bigā¦?
āOh, oh, that!? Princess Anisphere!? Why are you rubbing your chest!?ā
āTo see the demon stone react. No, but you have quite a few thingsā¦ā
āHih.ā
āWhat are you doing?ā
Blunt pain ran on my head with the dull sound. Iām about to scream as it is, but I can handle it because Iām holding Raini tight. Ilia, add or subtract a little more and hit me!? If I hit you, Iāll make that noise!?
Maybe next time Iāll make some Harrison for Ilia and give it to her. If I get beat up badly, the boulder will tear me down, too. It still doesnāt hurt if you get slapped on that one, and the Ilia youāre slapping might drop your drinks. Letās consider it.
āWell, then, Raini, try itā
āYes, noā¦ā
While blushing, Raini repeats Mana Bladeās activation. Iāll explore the magic flow to the Demon Stone, but the Demon Stone still doesnāt feel like itās flowing.
But it doesnāt look like thereās any magic in the Stone. By analogy, as there is a circuit through which magic passes, it feels that although it is connected to the circuit, magic is not actively flowing.
Still, there are demonic stones in the flowing path, and they receive magic. But Iām not actively trying to harness magic. Should this state be referred to as an inactivated state?
āHmm, I see. Thatās enough. Thanks.ā
ā⦠this is an examination, this is an examination, because this is an examinationā¦ā
When I let Miss Raini go, she held her chest tight and was distanced. He said he had no other intention. But it worked, hehe.
When I thought about it, I saw Yufi with no expression. I canāt see the color of that emotion. Itās like my eyes are complaining about something, cough it up and then get back on my mind. Come on, letās be serious!
āI guess I know more or less the state of Rainiās demonic stones! There seems to be no problem with the magic manipulation, so letās move on to the next phase!⦠and I just wanted to say. Wouldnāt you like to go?ā
ā⦠is there something?
āSpeaking of which, there is. Yeah, youāre right. So letās talk about it.ā
Itās going to be a little long, so I encourage you to move to the tea party space in the courtyard. Ilia is the only one who is away and ready for tea.
Wait for Iliaās tea to make it, and moisten her throat with that tea. I regain my mind and look over everyone again.
āThere was no problem manipulating Rainiās magic, and the Demon Stone is in an inactivated state. I know itās like a drooling state because itās moving with minimal force but I havenāt even operated it. Well, then, weāre gonna talk about controlling this. I need you to be ready before I do.ā
ā⦠ready, is it?
Raini frowns anxiously. And I nod and answer.
āWhen you activate the Demon Stone, a change can happen to the flesh. It could affect your spirit, and if you put it simply, itās not like you could really be a vampire.ā
ā⦠you mean I wonāt be able to be me?
āIt may or may not be. I couldnāt say anything until I knew it clearly. I didnāt want you to get me wrong. Sorry about this, Raini.ā
ā⦠noā
Raini shakes her neck left and right with a sunken look. Iām sorry Iām depressed, but I canāt stop talking here, so Iāll keep going.
āWell, you donāt have to look so anxious. At least because thereās a precedent for pimping.ā
āPrecedents?ā
Itās about me.
Yufi looked at me with a slight change of complexion to Raini, who leaned her neck. As if to ask for an explanation of what it means.
I just didnāt say it because I didnāt think it was enough to say it. Iāll explain it properly when I get a chance. Because itās about that extent.
āI am engraving my body with demonic stones. I mean, itās pretty much the same as having a demon stone in it.ā
āReally?!?ā
āIāll show you next time. Um, so. Maybe thereās nothing wrong with using the power of Demon Stone. Itās just that Iām crushing it and turning it into paint, so Raini and I have a different premise. I guess Rainiās body turns into that of a vampire because Iām under similar influence.ā
ā⦠does that mean that Master Anis could also become a demon?
Uffi asks with a slightly more sharp voice color. I snort firmly, without denying it.
āBecause itās like a curse. In the first place, I was a little cursed by dragons before I carved demon stones into my body.ā
āDragon!?ā
āOh, yeah. Isnāt that amazing? But you can stay like this, so you donāt really care about Raini either, do you? I can handle it!⦠Thatās what we talked about. Itās no big deal to say curse. But because you killed yourself, you were cursed whether you were stronger than yourself or a dragon.ā
Dragon exorcism made possible by giving everything you can have. Finally, the dragon put such a curse on me before I could breathe out. The loser is deprived of everything, versus the winner gets everything. Then youāll be the next dragon.
And since engraving was engraved on my body, I have become subject to interference from engraving. Power, strength, closer to the dragon, as I say. Well, itās not that annoying if you donāt shed magic either.
Still more susceptible to engraving when it is used. Becoming belligerent or feeling a little daunted. Iām just aware of it and Iām not going to be drunk by it. Thatās the only thing and Iām breaking it off. Itās not inconvenient.
āFor that reason, being cursed isnāt harmful because youāre familiar with your body. If youāre careful, thereās no inconvenience in living normally. Still, they wonāt look good if they find out.ā
Like Uffi there, or Ilia, whoās creating some awesome signs back there. No, Iām thankful youāre worried, because thereās no problem! I want you to forgive me with the results ohrai, truthfully.
āIn Miss Rainiās case, unlike mine, itās from the Demon Stone itself. I want you to keep in mind that blood sucking impulses and all those vampire traits can come out of your body.ā
ā⦠Yesā
āSo instead of directly controlling the Demon Stone, we might be able to explore ways to seal it up somehow, but itās going to take a while. Above all, that could put a load on your body. Itās not natural for the body.ā
Because it is natural to have demon stones, making demon stones completely dysfunctional may have some effect on Raini. In the end, no matter what you do, there is a risk, and later you get to the point of what you want to do in person.
ā⦠wasnāt Princess Anisphere afraid?
āHmm?ā
āI donāt think Iām going to be human.ā
āNo, nothingā¦?
āThatās light!?ā
I have returned nothing in particular to Raini, who has asked me with a serious face. No, apart from saying if you actually think anything of it there?
āI think itās a matter of human definition.ā
āDefinition issues?
āI think thatās why I have it. Iām not quitting being a human being to be like a dragon. I canāt say enough to a boulder when that figure is no longer human. Still, Iām the one who chose that. Then I insist on being human while Iām still here, and I donāt care who told me.ā
Keep who you want to be. Thatās why I thought I was disqualified as a royalty, and I donāt think nobility is the right way to live. Because I want to do what I want, admire what I want to be, and live free.
Because thereās magic. I was not free to use that magic. Iām still looking for a technique to use. Itās made and produced. Thatās the essence of me that I canāt change for the rest of my life. So I wonāt give it to anyone, and I donāt want to. So much so that I think I can do anything for it.
Thatās not why I want to actively throw away what I was born with. Because itās still a matter of priority.
āThereās a lot going on in humans, too. Some Uffi like a chunk of talent, Ilia who looks heartless and is actually thick in emotion, Raini who may have happened to be born as a demonic half. And Iām just a shapebreaker who loves magic. Even though humans are so different, thereās no way we can narrow down the definition of human being to one.ā
ā⦠thatās a great theoryā
āIf you want to be human, you just keep saying youāre human. I treat you as a human being within acceptable limits, and most importantly, you said I would take care of you when it comes to Raini. I donāt care if you become a vampire.ā
āItās really lame, Princess Anisphere.ā
Raini laughs like sheās in trouble. But I donāt see the sad colors that floated until earlier.
āLooking at Princess Anisphere makes you look silly to be worried aboutā
āWith all due respect, if you become like a princess, you lose some of your common sense as a person, so be careful.ā
āYou disparage me very naturally, donāt you, Ilia?ā
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
āBecause itās true.ā
Iām not denying it.
Who did you laugh out of? Everyone was laughing when they realized it.
Of course, that doesnāt mean thereās no more pressure to stop being human. I know that itās not like I can call something unacceptable to human society human.
Still, I canāt be anything but me. Everyone should be. So if youāre going to be what you want to be and still insist youāre human, you just need to put your chest up. Iām the one who chooses.
āHey, Rainiā
āYes.ā
āWhat do you want to do?
So itās easy to ask. I just asked him to confirm.
Raini lays her eyes down once. There was definite power in his eyes that opened again.
āI, I want to take my power⦠Because itās the power Iāve always been with.ā
āOh well.ā
āYes.ā
Then Iāll just help. If thatās what she wants.
āWhen using magic, keep the feeling of instilling magic around your body. I want you to feel your magic flow in your body first.ā
Follow my instructions and Raini will focus his consciousness. He closes his eyes and carefully imagines the feeling I say as he takes many deep breaths.
To make it easier, check the condition while placing your hand on Rainiās shoulder sitting in the chair. To instantly understand Reiniās magic manipulation and the state of the Demon Stone. So far, there seemed to be no problem.
I take my gaze off a little and look at Uffi and Ilia watching away, making them nod to reassure me. So far, no problem.
ā⦠somehow, I think I can grab itā
āYeah. Well, gather some magic in your heart and see. Something uncomfortable?
ā⦠I feel like Iām being stopped by weirs, clogged. But itās like solving it with magicā¦ā
āYeah. Donāt forget that feeling. Because thatās what it feels like to instill magic in demonic stones. You can take your time. Donāt rush.ā
A glimmer of sweat falls from Rainiās forehead. Remove the handkerchief and wipe it.
I wonder how much time has passed. I sense Rainiās change from the hand I had on my shoulder. The magic that had been gathered in Rainiās heart was beginning to travel all over his body again.
āRaini? Are you okay?
I look around to the front and peek into Rainiās face. Raini, whose eyes were closed, slowly opens his eyes.
Red. First the color got to my eyes. The suspicious light is blurring in the iris of the back of the eye. Keep carefully observing the changes you see and see.
ā⦠Princess Anisphereā
āYeah. Itās me, what do you say? Do you have any unusual feelings about yourself?
ā⦠my body is hot. Looks like I got a feverā¦ā
āYeah. Shall we release the magic then? Donāt let it out all at once, take your time.ā
āYesā¦ā
Encourage Raini to release his magic by holding hands to calm him down. Close your eyes again and slowly release your magic as Raini exhales.
Youāve calmed down, Raini opens his eyes again. Though it is the suspicious light that has disappeared, the colour of the iris has been stained with red colour. What kind of change is this?
āEye color, youāve changed⦠can I see it for a second?
āHuh? Really?
Peek into Rainiās eyes with a change of color. If you pay close attention, you still have a pale residue of magic in your eyes. Is this⦠like my engraving? I get the impression that some kind of magic is burning.
āAny change in vision?
ā⦠no, especially. Iām just uncomfortable with my eyes.ā
āWhat discomfort?
āSounds like a good street of magic can do it if you put some magic through your eyesā¦ā¦ can you do it again?
āFine, take a look at me.ā
Raini nods at my instructions and starts putting magic into his eyes again. Rainiās eyes are shaking with suspicious light floating again.
Within sight of the light, you are struck by the feeling that your spine is twisted. They took the magic even though the engraving on my back wasnāt even activated. Surprised by the sudden sensation, it seemed to go on when I was eyeing Raini, so I strayed from my gaze.
āDid you do something to me? Raini.ā
āUh⦠Wow, I donāt know. Itās just⦠your eyes are taking magic with them, like theyāre using magic.ā
āDevilās Eye⦠or something? Though mental interference is a possible possibility. Is there anything else uncomfortable?
āMy whole body, itās still hot, but my eyes and heart are especially. Thereās more⦠ahā
āHmm?ā
āMouthā¦ā¦ no, teeth, is it? Something mushyā¦ā
āUhā¦ā¦ Raini, uh.ā
If I let Raini open his mouth, I could just see the dog tooth area getting sharper. This is a picturesque changeā¦
āAh, yes. Looks like Iāll be back if I donāt put some magic into it. Here.ā
Hold your mouth before Raini opens his mouth. I couldnāt see the canine teeth I had earlier there. Hmm? Temporary physical changes due to magic? Interesting, this is interesting!
I donāt know how the hell it works, Iām curious. Changes due to demonic stones, thatās too unknown. I was concerned about that. Iām glad I canāt go back when Iām like a vampire.
āThis⦠is worth looking into. Hehe, thatās very interesting, Rainiā¦ā¦!
āHino!? Yu, Master Uphilia! Dear Ilia! I am afraid of Princess Anisphereās eyes!!ā
āHey, any other changes!? What kind of things are you going to be able to do!? Tell your sisterā¦!! Quick! Look, come on! Ha-ya-ya-ya-ku!!ā
It wasnāt until after eating the full body blow of Ilia that I realized that I accidentally got tense and scared Raini away that I was stuffy. I think thereās something more about how to stop it!?
Refresh your mind and check on Raini. Is there a change in the state of the demonic stone or is there no change in the whole body? Of course, with Uffi and Ilia under surveillance. I mean, Iām so scared of Ilia. Yes, yes, Iāll take a serious look.
ā⦠Huh? This is interesting inside. No, thatās really interesting. I see, this is the kind of approach youāre going to takeā¦ā¦ no, I honestly admire this. But if this is a natural occurrenceā¦ā¦ no, wow, I could say this is a great discovery of the century!!ā
āUm, Princess Anisphere, thereās another tensionā¦!
āHaā¦ā¦! Sorry, Iām so excited. No, if this is what Iām guessing it is, Iām going to tremble at how talented the wizard who became the prototype of the vampire wasā¦! Ugh, yeah, yeah! I wanted to see something like this!! Oh how happy!! Iām so grateful! What a great day!!ā
If I look it up, my skin will poppy as much as I look into it. This is for joy. I understand more or less by looking into it. This is a hell of a mechanism. Though different from mine, thatās why itās funny!
āDonāt just convince yourself. Can you explain?
āOf course! You listened very carefully, Ilia! Letās start with the conclusion! First I found out that a demon named Vampire is real, but not real!!ā
ā⦠what do you mean?
I can see youāre questioning me. āCause this isnāt such an existing idea. Itās very similar to me, but itās like a nearby, distant brotherhood born because things are different from me!
āThe very identity of a demon named Vampire is aā magic system ācalled Vampire!
