[Hey, hey, Luca]
One evening.
Lilith, floating above my head, suddenly called out to me.
“Hm? What?”
[You’ve been training a lot of magic lately, but haven’t you been working on your other abilities?]
“Other abilities? Like spells and summoning?”
[Yeah, that’s it.]
“I don’t really see the appeal at the moment.”
[Appeal?]
Lilith tilted her head. That’s a pretty cute gesture. I almost forget that she is actually a god.
“Do you remember when you fought the student named Aiden?”
[Aiden……who was it?]
“The blonde male student. The one I fought in my first class.”
[Yeah, I remember him too.]
Does this mean that from Lilith’s point of view, the original protagonist isn’t worth remembering?
Well, the scenario has only just begun. Aiden’s strength will come from this.
“He had mastered three types of abilities: aura, prayer, and magic. Maybe he could even use curses.”
[What about it?]
“If you remember even a little bit, you would know that it is inefficient to train several abilities at the same time. You’ll have more moves you can cut in combat, but the increase in value goes down, overall.”
[So in short, you’re saying that if you try your hand at this and that, you won’t have enough time?]
“That’s what I mean.”
With my ability, the aura and prayer are still weak. It’s far from ideal.
On top of that, I’m also dabbling in magic, so I don’t have time to devote any more to unnecessary powers.
If I could become dramatically stronger, it would be a different story, but I don’t have time for steady training.
[Hmmm. Personally, mastering aura is the quickest way !]
“As expected of a raging deity. I don’t think that’s a line from someone who has mastered that aura and been beaten up.”
[Why do you say that !? That was because there was more than one opponent……]
“That’s why.”
[Eh?]
“I have to acquire various powers in case the other party is more than one. I said I would help you get your revenge, but it’s not like I can kill another raging deity right now.”
I can’t take on a raging deity properly until I reach at least 20 years of age.
If I bump into them now, I will be killed instantly for sure.
It is true that mastering the aura is the quickest way to go, but that would be the same as Lilith. After all, I need to become stronger than even Lilith.
[Buh…I know what you mean. I don’t make any strange advances. If Luca has a clear vision.]
“Of course there is. Right now, the biggest challenge is to strengthen the aura and magic. Prayers can be used as they are, and curses are out of the question. At the very least, I won’t be able to fully demonstrate my power unless I make a pact with the demon.”
[Demon? They’re insidious beings, that’s what they are.]
“They are like that. They just lie, kill people, and cause misfortune. The only people who accept it are those in the hierarchy. It’s funny, isn’t it?”
[Only Luca can say it’s funny knowing that…….]
“It’s not so bad. My brother seems to be doing a lot of research on demons.”
[Luca’s brother? That cocky little brat?]
“No, not Camlen. He’s the son of the Duke’s rightful wife’s son, Ilario.”
[I don’t know him. Tell me]
“He’s a guy with an aptitude for cursing. His fighting skills are garbage, but he’s really into demons.”
I recently heard that he reads only books about demon summoning.
My brother has a half-baked aura and an aptitude for cursing that is not very useful. I have little interest in him, but I wanted to ask him something about demon summoning.
I was just about to go see him.
I head to an empty classroom that Illario frequents while training in magic control.
☆
The corner of an empty hallway, surrounded by silence. In the dimly lit empty classroom, where even the sunlight was blocked by the curtains, there was Ilario.
Knocking on the door, he hears a frightened man’s voice coming from inside.
“W-who is it?”
“It’s me, Brother Illario. How are you?”
“Luca !? W-why are you here……”
“You’d be surprised what people will look at you for. A complete stranger told me about you.”
“N-no ! Don’t come in !This is an important—“
“Excuse me.”
I ignored Brother Ilario’s words and opened the door.
Once inside, a large number of books were scattered on the floor. All of them are about cursing and summoning demons. It seems that he is studying as hard as they say.
I picked up one of them, a book on demon summoning.
“Does Brother Illario know anything about summoning demons?”
“W-what about it? That’s none of your business.”
“Actually, I have an aptitude for cursing. I’d like to hear a little bit about summoning demons.”
“Aptitude for cursing !? Don’t be silly ! Why do you have to……”
Brother Illario grits his molars.
He looks regretful, but there’s nothing he can do about it.
Then, Brother Illario suddenly lifted the corner of his mouth and laughed. Shows a creepy smile.
“No, not yet. I haven’t beaten you yet.”
“Huh?”
What are you talking about? I don’t think we were talking about winning or losing.
I looked at the strange looking Ilario with a doubtful gaze.
Immediately after that, he took something out of his pocket. The moment I saw it, I made a disgusted expression.
“How do you like it ! With this, I can summon great demons !”
What Brother Ilario confidently took out was a blackened and pale right hand.
That is a cursed item that does not appear in the original story. I had seen it before in a book in the Duke of Salvatore’s residence.
The demon’s hand.
I don’t know how he got that thing, but it is certainly suitable as a catalyst for calling demons.
If I look closely, I can see a thin red line drawn at Brother Ilario’s feet. A figure similar to a magic circle is drawn on it.
I see. He was about to summon a demon.
“Maybe it’s like summoning a demon?”
“Yeah. I’m going to summon a high-ranking demon and I’m going to become the strongest ! Kekeke……aren’t you jealous?”
“Not at all.”
“Wha !?”
Brother Ilario’s expression was distorted.
I said with a sigh.
“Even if you just summon a demon, the only thing the demon can use is curses and magic, right? Even if you make a contract with it, it won’t make you the strongest.”
You may become explosively strong, but it is too early to call yourself the strongest with that level of power. Don’t underestimate the strongest.
“Besides, with your current total spell power and ability to control it, I think you will be killed by the demon you invoke. I don’t recommend it.”
:Gghh ! Don’t be stupid ! I can do it too! Everyone looks down on me…! I’ll prove it !”
Brother Ilario didn’t stop even after taking my advice.
He began to pour his spell power into the figure at his feet. And in the center, he placed a demon’s hand as a catalyst.
Soon the magic circle began to activate. It glowed red and eerily bright.
The figure, which had absorbed a large amount of magical power, shone brightly, and a black fog was generated around it.
A woman appears out of the fog.
Her beautiful white hair, which reached down to her waist, shook as her light-purple eyes stared straight at Ilario.
Soon the black mist clears, and she smiles gently. She opens her mouth.
“Hello. Is it you who called me?”
