137 Episode 33: Seeking How to Utilize Demon Stones (1/2)

Tilty's speculation about the nature of the Demon Stone was somewhat convincing even to me.

Demon Stone is the power by which demons are born to live and go in a harsh world of weak and forceful eating. The Great Yuan of the Demon Stone is a Spirit, and this Spirit becomes a Demon Stone by degenerating it.

Demons with demonic stones gain unique powers and become special individuals of one kind at a time. And to gain more power, they attack other demons with homogeneous demon stones and other demons that feed their own demon stones, as well as humans.

Everything to survive. So even if flesh is destroyed, the Demon Stone is not lost to its function. I keep waiting until the day comes to keep alive the individual with the magic to suit me, the Lord who will be my new flesh.

”Well, this is what you do when you sort it out.”

Turning the place into a salon, Navre and Gakkun, who had returned, also exchanged to surround the table with members of the Magic Bureau.

It is the second de facto magic bureau, the policy conference. It is Tilty who is taking the lead in the field. She is in charge of the MC progression in a happy manner. It really works vigorously for what you're interested in...

”Is this where you think about the Demon Stone at the moment? Is there anything you'd like to ask me?

Tilty asks around if he has any questions after talking all the way through. It was Navre who raised his hand first.

”Let me confirm, Marquis Claret.”

”Tilty's good, I told you I don't like being too awed”

”... excuse me, Master Tilty. Again, I know that Demon Stone is the power that lies ahead of the evolution for demons to survive, and even if it is only the Demon Stone, it is just dormant. And if you have the magic to fit, you can activate the Demon Stone, but there is a risk that it will be perceived as a new flesh. Am I wrong so far?

”Yeah, I'm not wrong.”

Tilty nodded quietly back at Navre's inquiry without denying it.

”... so there is no danger that anyone who tries to activate the Demon Stone will be taken over by the Demon Stone?

”It depends on the definition of takeover. If it is to be taken over, it is the magical qualities of the fitter. Would it be more accurate if I said I'd smear it rather than say I'd take over? But isn't that what you're worried about, for example, if it has any spiritual effects?

”... you're right”

”I can't say there's no danger... but that's where the empirical example is and hey”

”What, those eyes?”

Tilty looks at me with her eyes as she answers to Navre. What, you got eyes that look at that unfortunate thing?

”We can't say that none of the influences are there. But even if there is only such a thing as will in demon stones, it is only due to survival instincts. It's more natural to want to live than to live. So aren't you worried about how aggressive you might be to try and survive, or drowning in power? Then it will be the same as the Wizard.”

Truth is, your mouth gets smoother when it comes to your specialty, and Tilty.

It is true that when Navre is worried, and asked if there is an effect on the spirit of compatibility with the Demon Stone, I cannot say enough that there is not. In fact, I can't deny it if you tell me I'm an example of it.

And even if you tell me you can't feel much of an impact on me, that's why I can't say it's safe. For better or worse, I'm aware that I'm a special example.

”Perhaps, but if the spiritual effects weren't just like being painted out of qualities, wouldn't there be a problem? I don't think the conditions will be the same as those of a magical aristocrat, depending on the degree of difference.”

”... to the point of becoming. Thank you for your help.”

”Hmm. But after all, trying to use the Demon Stone doesn't change the fact that magic won't work...”

Too bad I squealed. Gah. To make the power of the Demon Stone your own, you must offer and replace your magical qualities. That means you'll be cut off from your path as a wizard.

Navre is also unfortunately zeroing his sigh, but Tilty gave him a strange look before shaking his neck left and right.

”No? I'm not.”

”What!? Really?!?”

It was Charne who raised his voice of surprise. Stuttering, my eyes and mouth have opened wide as I said.

”Admittedly, the easiest way to use demon stones is to match them. The point is, you want to be able to use the power of demon stones and not lose the power to handle magic, right?

”Can you?

That's not theoretically possible.

Tilty is drinking tea in her hand to moisten her dry throat after talking too long.

I can't put it in my mouth either, but I don't think it's actually possible. Because I know the precedents of Raini and Al.

The two with vampire demon stones could normally use magic. Although that is different from conventional magic usage, it can be imitated.

But those two are only possible because they have demon stones in their bodies, and it is unknown whether they can use magic while controlling demon stones in a way that does not take them into their bodies or via engraved marks.

”There are two ways as far as I can think of. One is to replace your qualities with the demonic stones you just said. This would be a good idea to engrave the engravings into your body just like Master Anis did. That will replace your qualities, but you will be able to try to use magic. Even demons can use magic. In this case, you just have to realize that you're going to use magic in a way that looks like magic before your qualities are smeared.”

”So what's the other way?

”That's the opposite of what I just said.”

The opposite way. Each of them has a face-to-face or bewildering reaction to the word.

The opposite way to let Demon Stone replace qualities... no, I can't think of an image.

”I mean, what way?

”Put the Stone under your control.”

”Put it under control?

”The Demon Stone is the crystal itself of the magical qualities of its owner. Strength and density can't be compared, but if you follow the original, it's the same as magic. So you just have to control it like your magic.”

... To the point of becoming, it is true that Demon Stone is the inherent magic of Demon Stone. Is it the idea of using this magic separately or minimizing the replacement of magic by putting it under your control?

Then everyone looked sinister except me and Tomas and Tilty. From someone who can use magic, there seems to be something about Tilty's methodology.

”Isn't that just a theoretical story?

”Even the same magic can change the quality of magic depending on the power of the operator, etc...”

”You mean to use someone else's magic as your own, right? That's hard...”

I don't know what the three of you are trying to say, but I don't. Even if the magic that greatly affects the will, imagination, and the quality of the person is the same magic, even the details can vary to the contents.

In other words, make the other person's magic your own, which is also difficult when you take it in exactly the same way. I can't help thinking it's just a theoretical story. Even if I could, it would be difficult if the strength and qualities of the surgeon were not close to me.

”I know what you're trying to say, and it won't be feasible where you did it theoretically. Because it's difficult among the same wizards. Furthermore, the stature of the demonic creature with the Demon Stone is far higher than that of a human being. That's why it's impossible to try to use the power of Demon Stone as a person. That's why engraving marks are the best way to use the solution. Get away from being a person and get close to the monster.”

I'm convinced if you ask me, but that's why I really remember the Spirit Contractor when he tells me to stop being human. This problem essentially has the same dilemma that spiritual contractors have.

Unlike spiritual contractors, the only difference is whether the other party to the contract is a spirit or a demon. So there's no reason to spread the engraving. Engraved marks are easier than becoming spiritual contractors, so if you spread them poorly, you don't know what happens.

”So how do we use demon stones after all?
