Chapter 96: Engraved(1)

Nothing changes at all! Desmond thought.

Even though Desmond had done what he thought was right, there was still no reaction.

Desmond sighed, "I need another idea ..." He then exited the ritual room and saw the long passage in front of him leading to the exit.

* sigh *

Desmond shook his head many times while looking at the underground situation. "Time is precious, but what I'm doing right now is considering wasting time. There is no valid result. This experiment will increase my power. "

Considering that Desmond only has two years left to enter the academy, he has been looking for various ways to increase his strength since last year. "Only the guild of my last choice."

Desmond then daydreamed while staring at the objects around him. At that moment, he saw that the candle that was usually attached to the walls of the underground had now become split in two, and also, this candle would be useless even if the body was still intact.

After staring at the candle for a long time, Desmond suddenly got a new idea. "Is fire also included?" His eyes lit up, and he immediately returned to the ritual room.

…

Inside the ritual room, Desmond chanted a spell, and fire shot out of Desmond's hand. He controlled the fire only to burn the pentagram lines.

* crackling * * crackling *

All the flames had burned every line of the pentagram, making the display look like it was 'on.'

"This is it !" Desmond exclaimed this time he felt that there was a movement in the energy residing in the pentagram.

* crackling * * crackling *

The flames Desmond chanted were not large, only as high as the tips of Desmond's toes. But the moment Desmond flowed the energy into the pentagram, the flames grew to the height of Desmond's knees.

And also, the color of the flames turned bluish. "Cool!" Desmond shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling when he saw this blue flame. Desmond added, "It's like blue flames from a ghost rider!"

* blast *

At the same time, the blue flames that were outside the circle formed another blue flame. Four blue flames have just been created, and it seems the newly formed blue fire was representing the direction of each pentagram.

The four blue flames slowly took shape; they began to transform into four small dragons; the four dragons were only the size of Desmond's fist. After that, the dragons then circling in the circle pentagram in the middle.

The dragons didn't have a detailed form; they were just four flames in the shape of a dragon, only their eyes were of a different color. Each color of the dragon's eye was different from one another.

Besides, the dragons' shape is a western version of the dragon where they have a large body and four legs that support it, plus two large wings attached to their back like a typical western dragon.

Desmond, who was outside the pentagram, saw this with his eyes wide open; he was afraid to miss every detail as cool as this. Even though the system can record it but for him, watching it on video is very different from watching it live!

Desmond then saw the four dragons rising up and stopping in midair. Each of the dragons then looked in each direction, north, south, east, and west, where Desmond had put the ritual materials.

* roar * * roar * * roar * * roar *

The four dragons shouted in turn; although the sound of their screams was not as loud or greater than the real dragon's scream, Desmond felt a familiar sense of each shout. Every cry from the dragon gave off a warm feeling like he was meditating.

"Amazing, whoever made this class their mind must be full of delusions." The first time Desmond saw a pentagram, he was reminded of an array of novels from the east where there were also cultivation and immortality.

Desmond initially thought that he would reincarnate in a cultivation world, where he would definitely become a weak young master and gradually become stronger with the system's help. But who would have thought this world was completely different from the world he imagined.

As Desmond was daydreaming, the four dragons headed towards their respective materials in their designated direction.

The first dragon made it to the east, where there was a blood clot of material pooling on the floor. After arriving, the dragon seemed to have realized, he paused like he was thinking before finally entering the blood clot.

Desmond, who saw this was curious about what the dragons were doing; he focused his gaze towards the east to see the changes that were taking place.

* babble * * babble *

The sound of water bubbles could be heard from the blood clot; when the first dragon entered, the blood clot seemed to boil over time.

* slurp *

Desmond widened his eyes; there, he saw a pool of blood that was as big as a bathtub suddenly being sucked in, leaving only 'something' that was similar in shape to the previous dragon.

The 'something' then turned around, showing a blue fire dragon that originally entered into the blood clot and now became like a real dragon, except that dragon only added scales and horns.

It was like a transformation from having only a part of the body of fire to slowly returning to the form a dragon should be. The dragon then flew back to the pentagram's center circle and circled around as if waiting for another dragon.

After seeing this, Desmond nodded in praise. "Well, the shape is cool; if only the color was black, maybe it would be cooler." Desmond's tastes were also influenced by his old world, where the mafia too often saw a black and gray object.

Desmond then shifted his gaze to the dragon in the north, where the Elf material was. If before it was just a clot of blood making the dragon look even more authentic, so what about the Elf who was clearly a living thing?

The moment Desmond's attention was on the Elf, he became speechless.

"Is there something wrong with my eyes?" The dragon was about to suck up the Elf did not happen in his imagination; instead of sucking up, the dragon rubbed his head against the Elf's hand.

Then the dragon seemed satisfied; the dragon licked the Elf's hand where there was a scratch which served to activate the pentagram. After that, the dragon returned to the center circle without any changes.

"Wait…lemme think of it ... if I'm not wrong this class book it should be made by Elf, ah ... now that makes sense." After knowing this fact, it's no wonder the dragon didn't attack the Elf he was carrying. Since Elf is friends with dragons, what about demons?

Desmond shifted his gaze to the Demon, where he saw the small dragon standing right in front of the Demon. This scenario is like in the previous blood clot. If Desmond's speculation was correct, then this dragon would devour the Demon.

* roar *

But what the dragon did was worse than Desmond thought. Before the dragon devoured it, it roared at the Demon, making the Demon still under hypnotic control aware.

"AH!" Just as the Demon opened its mouth in shock, the dragon entered its mouth. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH !!!" The Demon screamed in pain while choking his neck.

After that, Desmond saw the Demon rolling on the floor. While moving, just as his body was about to get out of the pentagram, the blue flames that had circled the outer circle of the pentagram seemed to turn into a barrier.

* thump *

Apart from being hit, that Demon also now had blue flames burning its body.

"AAAHHHH, please forgive me, sir…. Sir…" The Demon shouted while shedding tears.

Luckily, it was underground, so the Demon's screams weren't too loud, just annoying enough for Desmond.

Initially, Desmond's view of the Demon race was limited to 'things that can be used to strengthen oneself,' but after the incident that happened to Alice, this changed his view of demons to 'things that are only a one-time item.'

If all the demons were like this, then there was no need to pity them because their temperament had already been broken like this. But the Demon, in Sieg case, seems different from other, maybe variant or mutant or higher rank in the Demon race?

"But, humans are actually worse than demons at times," Desmond recalled where humans enslaved demons like animals.

Desmon added, "Well, it has nothing to do with me; everyone brings their own destiny. If this Demon is strong, then their position will be reversed. The humans will become slaves of the Demon."

After ignoring the screams from the Demon, Desmond saw that after the dragon entered the Demon's body, the Demon who had been screaming while rolling on the floor suddenly stopped.

The Demon's face seemed to be sucked in by something, his cheeks began to wrinkle while for the rest of the body, from what could have been said to be 'filled' this time with the naked eye, slowly the Demon's body became emaciated.

* roar * * splourt *

The Demon's mouth, which had been closed, suddenly spat out blood, a dragon appeared; this time, the dragon was as big as Desmond's wooden sword. The dragon flew towards the middle circle pentagram and went around in circles.

Desmond then glanced at the Demon's state, where the Demon's mouth was hollow as the dragon forced its way out, while the Demon's eyes bulged out. This state could be said a near-death state.
