NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1650: New Demonic Weapon
-----
"AAAGGGGHHH!"
The female demonic voice screamed in agony, as I quickly did the same thing I did with Qualex, using my Spirit Synthesis Soul-Bound Skill, I rapidly fused into her hundreds of elemental spirits, forcefully refining her and transforming the staff into my own Contracted Spirit Weapon.
Wrapping her with the Demon-Sealing Holy Chains, they fused into the staff alongside the spirits. She tried to resist, screaming angrily, trying to burn me or turn me into a monster, but none worked.
"S-STOP! HOW DARE YOU- AAACCK!"
It was futile!
The staff and the demon inside were immediately sealed, turned into a spirit weapon, and forcefully contracted to me.
"You thought you were going back to hell all nice and dandy once you were done, so you could come back again to annoy me? Don't make me laugh. I'll start assembling my own Demonic Weapon armory if I must keep your kind at bay."
"Y-YOU DAMN…! HOW DARE YOU!"
The staff looked almost the same as before, with the mushrooms and everything, but it had a new luster to it, and a few black and red metallic pieces covering its wooden body.
"You're a girl demon right? I think this is the first time I hear a female voice coming from a demon! They're usually all guys."
"S-Shut up!"
"But don't you think so?"
"…I mean yeah they're mostly males, female demons do exist however, and there are even stronger ones than I am! Such as Lady Lilith! She is the most wonderful! And once she finds you, she will tear you to shreds!"
"I see, so there's this Lady Lilith, huh? Thanks for the info!"
"W-Wait, why did I say that?!"
She panicked, as she noticed a Demonic Scythe floating by my side, it was a colleague of hers, someone she clearly recognized.
"This can't be happening! Querlax?! You too?!"
"Indeed… me too…"
"W-What is going on?! Since when the Avatar of Yggdrasil could create contracts with us and completely subdue us?!"
"I don't know! Those damn Undead tricked us into doing this shitty job, they promised souls! That's the only reason why I did this!"
It seems they knew each other, the way they speak and all its quite casual too, interesting… Oh, there it is.
FLASH!
I felt the connection between me and the demonic staff deepen, as I heard the Voice of the World.
[You have successfully evolved and contracted the Demonic Spirit Weapon: [Demonic Abyssal Myconid Staff of Hellish Spawns: Berbelianna (Tier 4)]!]
[The Demonic Spirit Weapon [Demonic Abyssal Myconid Staff of Hellish Spawns: Berbelianna (Tier 4)] has developed the following Abilities: [Spiritual Demonic Staff] [Demonic Chimera Spawn Creation] [Minor Demonic Authority of Hell Spawns] [Demonic Life Sacrifice] [Hellish Spawn Vile Evolution]!]
[These Abilities have been linked with you, and you can now freely use them, giving you power over the Element of Demons without being one.]
So that's her name, quite weird and complicated, but that's a Demon for you I guess?
As for her abilities, they seem to align with what she had done so far, sacrificing life to create new demonic life, and also evolve them, and lastly there's this authority which must boost the power of hell spawns created.
Very interesting, although I don't know how I'll be able to use this power effectively, I am looking forward to using it either way, especially with such destructive and powerful abilities.
Maybe if we fight beings of equal power or elements, such as more demons, I could control their summons or twist their own soldiers into my own?
Although… ugh, yeah, that does sound pretty damn disgusting, I don't know if I can stomach that.
Even less act all "evil" and "demonic", it's not really my thing. I am mostly contracting them like this so keep them sealed and to obey my orders, this way they can't go around as they please between Hell and Earth constantly, and it's better than just shattering their souls, as I can use their power and make them more useful.
"So your name is Berbelianna, huh?"
As I asked her, I walked back to my family, the Hell Spawns had all died the moment their boss kicked the bucket, their corpses slowly falling down into the many pieces that made them.
"What's wrong with my name?!"
"Nothing wrong with it, I just learned about it, it's a nice name."
"Hmph I don't care what you think!"
"Don't be hostile, let's be nice to each other."
"Aaagggh! Like hell I'll ever be nice! I'm a demon! Querlax why aren't you fighting back?!"
"…I can't, and you'll soon begin to learn why."
"Eh?"
"Fufu, just behave and don't say anything unless I ask you, you can chat with Querlax but don't plot anything evil, okay?"
"What?! As if I would ever obey- Okay… Eh?! Why did I…?!"
She realized quite late that something odd was happening to her, and indeed, it was very odd that suddenly she couldn't say whatever she wanted… haha.
Okay maybe I liked having them around because it was also fun to tease them.
"Elayne! That was amazing… but are you okay?" Mark asked, as he walked to my side, rapidly healing thanks to the effects of Florie's dress.
"Yeah I'm alright dear, don't worry," I nodded. "Anyway, remember that equipment I had obtained from maxing my bonds with the people of the Forest of Beginnings? Well although I had mostly replaced it with better equipment, I can't bring that here, so I decided to equip those instead. There's a special ability they have, once you equip the whole set where I can channel 25% of the stats of those bonded to me, Titania, Florie, Nieve, and Acorn, and well, they're pretty damn strong now, right?"
"W-Woah, hold on for a moment…" he muttered. "You're going too fast but… if I understand this right, you equipped that equipment here in real life? And it worked as intended?"
"Yeah, even their gamey abilities work just fine, synchronizing with the Voice of the World, for some reason, even though she and the system are vastly different entities…" I said. "The bad part is that I can only use that Bond Ability once a day… but it was perfect to take down the villain! Also I got this new Demonic Staff!"
