NOVEL NEXT Chapter 49
New Demonic Possessor (Request for Subscription)
The forest in winter, enveloped in silver, tall trees were covered with thick snow, resembling old men with white hair sleeping in boundless silence.
Snowflakes gently fell from the branches, each one clearly visible, dancing in the air as if telling stories of winter.
Occasionally, a few small animals darted by, leaving footprints of varying depths that wove vivid pictures on the snowy ground.
Two figures moved swiftly through the forest; it was Alpha and Beta.
The girls wore clothes similar to those in the original story, made from slime organisms capable of changing according to the user’s needs.
Not only clothing but also weapons and armor could be simulated by the slime organisms at will.
This allowed the girls not to worry about their clothes being damaged in intense battles.
As they were magical creations, their defense and toughness were proportional to their magic power.
The stronger the magic power, the better the quality of the weapons and armor formed.
“Swish!”
Alpha’s figure descended from the sky, landing lightly on the snow as if weightless.
“Do you need a rest, Beta?”
The golden-haired Pokémon turned her head and looked at the silver-haired Pokémon who was breathing slightly heavily.
“It’s fine, Alpha.”
Beta said: “I can continue.”
“Rest.”
Alpha shook her head firmly and said: “You cannot yet control your surging magic power. Over time, your body won’t be able to endure it.”
Both girls had suffered from demonic possession.
After being healed, their magic power greatly increased.
Moreover, this enhancement would increase with age.
According to the evaluation of the reinforcement system, the growth of magic power for both girls should have been on the right side.
In the Shadow World, the average level of human magic power growth is roughly N.
Beast People are stronger than humans, averaging 2N.
Pokémon surpass even Beast People, averaging 5N for magic power growth.
However, these are just standard magic bases.
Taking Alpha as an example, she originally had 1R of magic power growth.
Demonic possession 003 was dangerous, but also an opportunity. It purified the Pokémon bloodlines within Alpha and Beta, making them closer to the concentration of their ancestors.
Even without becoming the Golden King, Alpha’s magic power could reach 9R.
The reason she couldn’t break through SR
is because R~SR requires a crucial transformation of magic power.
This transformation has high requirements for controlling magic power.
Otherwise, relying solely on vast magic power does not help much and may even bring fatal harm similar to corruption.
The magic power in the Shadow World has chaotic attributes, like a double-edged sword.
When it reaches a certain critical point, if it cannot be controlled, its huge side effects may swallow the host at any time.
“I understand.”
Beta had no choice but to obediently follow Alpha’s instructions, leaning against the trunk to rest while calming the restless magic power inside her.
She felt tired, but not because of excessive consumption of magic power.
On the contrary, her magic power was very abundant, so there was no need to worry about endurance issues.
What truly exhausted Beta was controlling this magic power, preventing it from leaking or going out of control.
Demonic possession is not a disease that can be completely eradicated with a single cure.
Its essence lies in mastering and organizing magic power.
With Bai Luo’s help, Beta and Alpha escaped the torment of demonic possession and were reborn.
This organization would construct a complete magic circuit within the two girls’ bodies.
The reason why demonic possession doesn’t recur is that once the magic power becomes disordered again, Alpha and Beta can reorganize it based on this magic circuit.
If the mastery of magic power improves, creating a whole new magic circuit for oneself would be effortless.
Beta’s current situation stems from her rapid increase in magic power.
The shaping of slime materials is not only convenient but also exercises Beta’s control over magic power, achieving two goals with one action.
“Still, Lady Alpha is truly amazing.”
Beta remarked: “Even though we received healing together, Lady Alpha completed these trainings much earlier.”
“You’re overestimating me, Beta.”
Alpha smiled faintly at Beta and then said somewhat shamefully: “It has nothing to do with my own talent. It’s entirely thanks to Lord Bai Luo.”
“The Golden Sacred Domain he bestowed upon me has the special ability to fully develop a person’s potential.”
“As the leader of the Golden Clan, the effect of developing potential is most prominently displayed in me.”
Therefore, rather than saying Alpha is exceptionally talented, it’s more accurate to say that Bai Luo gave her more favor.
“I see.”
Mentioning Bai Luo, Beta couldn’t help but blush: “He truly deserves to be called Lord Bai Luo.”
“Ah.”
Alpha said: “To give us the light of hope in such darkness, no matter what we pay, it’s hard to repay his kindness.”
Miss Alpha doesn’t find it strange that she admires him, after all, she herself harbors feelings for Bai Luo.
“Yep Yep!”
Beta nodded enthusiastically, already becoming a little fan of Bai Luo.
There’s no way around it.
Any girl who was saved from years of torment by demonic possession, facing only despair and death, would instinctively regard the savior as a spiritual support.
“I wonder how talented the possessor we’re chasing this time is?”
Beta thought about the magic residue discovered not long ago, wild, chaotic, yet incredibly powerful: “Even though it went berserk, it still possessed such destructive power.”
“If judged solely by the traces she left behind, her talent might not be inferior to mine.”
“Wow Wow Wow!”
Beta’s eyes sparkled with stars, becoming even more excited about the new recruit who would soon join.
“What is her magic rating?”
“Hmm…”
Alpha pondered for a moment and said: “It should be between 5N~6N.”
“According to the magic levels set by Lord Bai Luo, non-demonic possessors’ magic power is roughly N.”
“Unless there’s a regression in lineage, humans, beast people, and Pokémon usually don’t exceed N level in magic growth.”
The foundation from N to R is demonic possession, or what is called regression.
Even Pokémon are no exception.
Like Alice Princess, War Goddess Auntie, and Snow Queen Xue Ji in the original story, they are all examples of lineage regression.
In Bai Luo’s words, their phenomenon of demonic possession is relatively peaceful.
Of course, peaceful also means mediocre.
Compared to the magic enhancement brought by normal demonic possession, they fall short.
“Well, quickly adapt to the magic power within your body.”
Alpha said: “With Beta’s talent, breaking through the SR level is just a matter of time.”
Although Alpha hasn’t reached SR either, her magic power has increased to the 9R level, almost reaching the peak of R level.
The purification of bloodlines due to demonic possession isn’t a one-time event.
Theoretically speaking, until they reach the same level as their ancestors, the benefits of demonic possession won’t stop.
So compared to those whose magic growth was fixed at birth, Alpha and Beta have greater potential.
“Ugh~~”
Beta: “But, controlling magic power is really difficult.”
After the stimulation of demonic possession, Beta’s magic growth skill improved significantly, reaching 5R according to Bai Luo’s rating.
However, Beta isn’t worried about her magic growth being too slow, but rather too fast.
She diligently practiced controlling her magic power to keep up with the speed of her magic growth skill upgrades.
“Difficult, that’s why you need to practice.”
Alpha: “You wouldn’t want to embarrass yourself in front of Lord Bai Luo again, would you?”
The embarrassing state Alpha referred to was Beta during demonic possession.
Beta’s corruption was slightly better than hers, but half of her body had turned into twisted flesh masses.
“Really, Lady Alpha!”
Beta pouted, her two pale fists waving up and down: “Meanie!”
A woman adorns herself for the one who appreciates her.
No one wants to expose their ugly side to the person they admire.
This applies to Beta, and it applies to Alpha as well.
The latter was worse off, as her entire body was corrupted.
However, Alpha wasn’t joking.
Because Bai Luo’s power is so strong, Alpha and Beta’s growth potential far exceeds that of the characters in the original story.
Alpha didn’t care; the power of the Golden Sacred Domain directly exempted her from the distortion caused by chaotic magic power.
For her, the surge in magic power only brings benefits, not drawbacks.
However, Beta wasn’t that lucky.
The superpowers of the Golden Sacred Domain, combined with the purification of bloodlines brought by demonic possession, put immense pressure on Beta now.
Of course, even if something were to happen, Bai Luo could easily heal her.
“I’ve rested enough!”
After a while, Beta regained her spirit: “Let’s go!”
Just as Alpha said, Beta didn’t want Bai Luo to see her ugly form.
The silver-haired Pokémon girl dared not slack off; she wanted to seize every minute and second to improve her control over magic power as early as possible, avoiding the recurrence of the demonic possession phenomenon.
“Um.”
Alpha sensed Beta’s condition and knew she wasn’t exaggerating: “Next, we’ll head in that direction. I detected a new presence earlier.”
“New presence?”
Beta asked: “Is there another group?”
“This is quite unexpected.”
Alpha: “I didn’t expect that besides the first one we tracked who ran around everywhere, there’s another one like us.”
Details about the two groups are unclear.
They could be slave traders or black-clothed swordsmen from the Diablo Sect.
Two targets in need of rescue.
The first one fled quickly and was extremely skilled in hiding and evading, costing Alpha and Beta considerable time.
As for the other one, their location was very close to the two girls.
“Based on feedback from magic perception, it’s basically confirmed that someone nearby is conducting slave trading.”
After Alpha finished speaking, Beta’s expression darkened immediately.
“Damn human traffickers!”
Bai Luo always adheres to a policy of eliminating anyone involved in human trafficking, especially child trafficking.
This attitude naturally extends to everyone under Bai Luo’s command.
“Go!”
“Swish!”
At Alpha’s command, Beta hurriedly followed.
The two girls zipped through the mountains and forests, moving so fast that not even a shadow could be seen.
Their steps were light, and they hardly made any sound.
“We’re here.”
Soon, the two girls spotted the gathering place of the traffickers.
They landed on a tree, concealed their presence, and quietly observed the layout of the camp, assessing the number of enemies.
“A total of 30 people, no sign of the black-clad people from the Diablo Sect.”
“These should be the sellers.”
“And then the target we need to save, did you find her position?”
Both girls were highly perceptive Pokémon. In just a moment, they located the cage where the target was imprisoned.
“Beta, you go save her.”
Alpha: “The others are my responsibility!”
Beta hasn’t fully mastered her powers, so it’s best for her to rescue hostages.
“Understood!”
“Swish!”
After assigning tasks, the two girls disappeared again.
