Chapter 19 - Experiments and Letter

"It shall be done, grandfather."

"And also prepare some gift, on our first visit to the House of Gremory. What shall be suitable?"

Asked Zekram as he looked at his granddaughter.

"Magic Tomes or Grimoires. Zeoticus is fanatical magic researcher, especially on runic magic."

Answered Venelana.

"Hmm..."

Zekram then summoned old looking book, that looked creepy with its pitch-black leather cover.

"This thing would do... who knows how strong he will become if he learns Abyssal Runes."

Said Zekram as he looked at the book. He himself found it thousands of years ago, only several centuries after he was born. He quickly found out, it wasn't of the universe, as it came from another world. Things like that didn't happen often, but if someone is lucky, he could find some things from different Universe, when Space-Time created a portal through Dimensional Gap appear.

After learned Abyssal Runes, he found out, it was a very strong runic language, even superior to that of Aesir Runes that were used by Asgard. What Zekram didn't know, was that Abyssal Runes would soon become the part that was used to create a whole new magic system.

[Architect, start the analysis process.]

I said as I was going to try the first spell of the new magic system I have created.

"Okey, casting process of the Zero-Tier Spell, Fireball starts."

It was only an experiment, so I would be glad if it didn't explode in my face.

The first step was the usage of Devil Magic. With the usage of Devil Magic, first thing is to create an image of Fireball with demonic power, afterward, is the creation of a spell matrix based on the model of the fireball created from Devil Magic.

With the already existing model, the creation of a spell matrix, from runes is easier. To create a perfect spell, and fuse both of them, model in my head created from Devil Magic and Runic Matrix, I am using calculations to achieve as high precision and perfect fusion as possible.

Soon enough new type of fireball was created. It was white in color, different compared to the orange-yellow when created with Devil Magic.

[Spell Analyzation complete. Stability of 74.65%, compatibility between Devil Magic and Aesir Runes is low, creating destabilization of the spell.]

That was something I was already expecting. Unless all spells were of 100% stability, my magic system was useless. The main problem was an incompatibility between the nature of Devil Magic, which came from Demonic Power, and Aesir Runes, which were a mix of energy similar to Divine Power and unknown energy. If I had a runic language that was closer in nature to the Devil Magic, but that would be very hard to get.

"How is the power of the spell?"

[Ordinary Fireball created with usage of Devil Magic, has hotness of 1,000 degrees of Celsius, this one has even hotter than Fireball created with pure usage of Norse Magic, which was 1,500 degrees of Celsius. This one is reaching a temperature of 1,700 degrees of Celsius. Versatility and maneuverability of the spell are higher compared to the Norse Magic variant.]

Finished Architect the spelling analysis.

"Hmm... if I increase the stability of the spell, then we could consider the experiment a success. I need to search for suitable runic language."

I said to myself, as I was thinking about the results of the experiment. Still, for the start, the results were pretty good. My initial idea of merging three magic systems appeared to be working rather well.

With devil magic model creation in my mind, creating a runic matrix is faster by two times. With help of calculations taken from human magic, these two things could fuse perfectly, creating a wholly new spellcasting method.

Now it leaves my only stability problem. If I don't solve this, I cannot proceed to experiment with higher-tiered spells, that have higher destructiveness. Instability with those spells should be higher compared to Zero-Tier.

If initial spells, like those of Zero-Tier I have created, have the stability of more than 74%, then the next Tier, I have called Combat-Tier, should have stability only around 45 to 55%, which could be probably pretty dangerous if it exploded into my face, as the destructiveness of those spells, is high to take down the smaller building.

For rest of the day, I have decided to stop training and retreat to the library to read magic books. For me, it was rather relaxing and every time I did it, not only I was resting but also getting stronger, as my knowledge about magic was becoming higher.

As I was walking to the library, I saw a Head Butler of the Fuerig coming to me.

"My Lord. There is a letter from the House of Bael."

Said the man, as he gave me a letter sealed with not sign of House of Bael, but it was a bit different, from what I recognized it was a modified Bael Clan sign, used only by First Bael, Ancestor Zekram.

"Thanks... you can go."

Among the Lords, including Four Great Satans, only a few Houses have elite trained soldiers. From what I know, the best armies, with the best training and strength level, were of House of Lucifer, Lucifuge, Bael, and Agares. Many of the devil nobles didn't care much about their own legions and their soldiers were untrained or even outright weak... this would in the future lead to countless death. Maybe if I can get the help of Zekram, he has greater influence in the devil society than most.
