Devil Chapter 323: So, Are Those Fishing Nets Working Out as Planned? (1/2)

I thoroughly explained the usage of the nets to my little precious, Mo Na. At times like these when she wasn’t busy poking fun at me, she was truly a dear. This perfect little angel of mine didn’t disappoint me this time either as she immediately got down to crafting the first fishing net the moment I finished my explanation.

‘Speaking of which, it has been a while since I used my Dark Alchemy…’

Ever since I stumbled onto the fact that Mo Na was talented in Undead Magicks and Dark Alchemy, I was basically able to adopt a hands-free approach to those matters.

‘I should just leave the equipment crafting to her from now on then…’

With regards to the fishing nets, the material required to craft them were all gathered from the ten or so Flame Devouring Fishes and split off Demon Fire Worms that I had my new subordinates capture. Materials in hand, Mo Na’s first move was to summon the signature black mirror face used during Dark Alchemy. She then channelled her mana to pick up the gathered ingredients and tossed them wholesale into the mirror face. A while later, the mirror face disappeared and all that remained was a jet black net that was half a meter wide and had a five meter long pole.

“So what’s that for?” Even though Nola was exhausted, her fatigue simply couldn’t curb the curiosity within her. “Doesn’t look like a weapon to me, seems really fragile too.”

“That’s a fishing net, as for its uses…you will find out soon enough.”

I clasped both of my hands around the pole of the fishing net and slowly sauntered up to the lava lake, dipping it into the molten liquid shortly thereafter. As expected, there wasn’t much reaction to the fishing net entering the lava seeing as the net itself was crafted from creatures who lived in said lava.

A while later, I got my first catch of a couple of Demon Fire Worms. Staring at my catch, I couldn’t help but recall the fond childhood memories I had of me and Nicole fishing…those were the days…

With a bit of excitement in my heart, I pulled in the pole and dumped the two worms onto the ground. The two worms immediately started wriggling as hard as their white wormy bodies could to try and crawl back to the lava lake, but try as they might, their efforts were swiftly thwarted by a tiny paw on each worm from Cinderel.

“Ruff ruff!”

Paws stuck fast to them, the worms soon discovered that there was no way they could struggle free from this demonic little puppy’s clutches. Thus, with unwillingness in their heart, they finally split into halves and crawled dejectedly back to the lava lake, their bodies bearing the scars of their shame.

‘Success!’

The moment I saw the two worms split off, I knew I had succeeded!

As I had noticed before, these worms would split into halves as a defensive mechanism, just like how a lizard would sever its tail when needed. Naturally, this was a lot more high level than just some tail splitting. After all, I hadn’t heard of any lizard being able to survive after having lost half of its body.

Still, while the test was a resounding success, actually foraging the needed materials to craft this fishing net was still a hassle. Thus, I had to put off any plans of large scale fishing in order to have some of my newly captured subordinates, three Flame Childes to be exact, capture more live ingredients.

Having done that, a thought immediately occured to me. ‘Factoring in the speed at which my Flame Devil Childes captured those fishes, and then factoring the speed of Mo Na’s crafting as compared to my subordinate count…crafting a sufficient number of fishing nets…would probably take quite a while…’
