NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40 – Experiment 2
I and Magari were looking at each other with the stray devil that I knocked out lying between us. Unexpectedly, Magari took a human form and hide her tail. She usually has the appearance of a white cat with black spots all over her body, but when she took a human form, she was unexpectedly cute.
I say cute because she’s only higher than Shirone by five centimeters or so, but she’s certainly older than all of us, my old man excluded. She was wearing a black kimono that matched with her white hair which turned black on the tip.
I have no time to appreciate her human form though, I put on a serious face and called my Nenekirimaru.
“Do you understand, Magari? As soon as I stabbed his chest, use Senjutsu coated hand and pull the evil piece from his body.”
“I know.” A white aura began forming on Magari’s hand and it condensed until her right hand was glowing out a pale glow. “I’m ready.”
I nodded my head and concentrated. I pulled out the power of Telos Karma and made a little change in the rule of my sword.
“Nenekirimaru will cut his chest and separate the evil piece from his body.” I gripped Nenekirimaru with my right hand and touched the blade with my left palm.
As soon as I am ready, I coated the blade with Senjutsu and stabbed his chest right in the middle. As soon as I stabbed him, I quickly pulled out my blade and let Magari do her job.
If it’s Ajuka Belzeebub, he just needs to touch the chest of the devil to extract their evil piece. But I am not him, so I need to do this approach.
Magari does her job quickly. She plunged her hand into the stray devil’s chest and pulled a black pawn from him. She also heal his wound immediately, closed the wound at a high speed.
After that, I worked my Telos Karma again and made a probability change on his body.
“This stray devil won’t die or decay after the evil piece pulled out from his body.”
After everything is done, Magari crushed the evil piece and we jumped back towards the terrace, joining my old man and the other to see what happened to the stray devil.
I waited for a few seconds and I saw that his chest moving up and down like normal. I smiled at the body’s reaction of the stray devil and looked at Magari.
“It’s a success.”
She nodded her head and looked back at me. “Indeed, but it took a lot of me. I need to rest for five minutes before we do it again.”
That’s reasonable. She just coated her hand with a huge amount of Senjutsu aura and use it to heal the wound in one go. Naturally, her fuel was almost depleted after doing all of that.
Magari walked towards the sakura tree that was in front of us and changed back to her cat form before sitting under it with closed eyes. She began replenishing the Natural energy that she spent earlier.
I turned to Shirone with a smile and asked her.
“Are you really sure about doing this?”
She nodded her head and answered me. “Yes.”
“Hahahaha, I will let you young people do your thing. Setsuna, bring me a sake to my room!”
My old man walked away from us with Setsuna following him from behind.
So he’s satisfied with watching us successfully extracting the stray devil pieces and left? That’s so like him.
I sat on the terrace with crossed leg and looked closely at the stray devil. I try to feel his energy and making sure that nothing has changed from before.
He’s still a devil, but he’s not bound with the evil pieces. It’s a success if we are talking about leaving a peerage, but it’s not a success if I wanted to change someone back to their original race.
“As expected, I can’t change him back with my power now. I need to achieve the Balance Breaker to change their race.” I muttered to no one in particular, but Kuroka and Shirone still heard me.
I bet Tsura heard me too, but she just smiled at me as if she know what I thought.
I had this plan to make Kuroka back into a full Nekoshou, but I realize that I have yet to achieve the power to do so. Telos Karma is indeed strong, but I can’t use it to change Kuroka back to her original race yet.
It’s only a year since I awakened Telos Karma so I had not achieved the Balance Breaker yet. I wanted to fight strong people to awaken my Balance Breaker. My old man is strong, but I can defeat him with no problem because we have the same technique. I can also cut his fear to make him reveal his real location, rendering his best technique useless.
He would do fine with another opponent, but with me as his opponent, he can’t do anything. We have the same technique, but I have an additional card, Telos Karma.
Well, enough of my fight with my old man, I could see no problem with the stray devil and I was satisfied. Shirone won’t be able to get the bonus of the evil piece after we crushed it, which maybe will take an effect on her overall strength.
But I do not worry about that. She just needs to train with Magari. I shuddered remembering it, but it was worth it.
Kuroka has 2 evil pieces inside her, but she has no King so I don’t need to worry about it now. It also boosts her strength a little bit so it’s a plus I think.
After thinking for a few minutes, I saw Magari open her eyes again and walk towards us.
“I am ready.”
I looked at Shirone and saw her nodded her head. She was shivering and nervous.
Kuroka approached Shirone and hugged her from behind. “It’s okay…” She patted Shirone’s head. “It’s okay nya.”
Shirone stopped shivering and walked towards me, releasing herself from Kuroka’s hug. When she reached me, she looked back at Kuroka and said.
“Please watch from there, onee-chan.”
Kuroka nodded her head and sat on the terrace. Tsura approached her and sat beside her.
I looked at Shirone and said with a serious tone. “Are you ready?”
“Yes, please take care of me.” Nodded Shirone.
