Episode 104. How to Create a Hero (2).
The carriage that had arrived at the Damier residence stopped, and when Kael got out of the carriage, he narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Hugo, who was naturally there.
“I thought you said there was no need to pick me up.”
Before leaving for the palace, Kael had told Hugo to rest, as he had been organizing past cases and verdicts that he had been investigating for almost a day without sleeping.
“As someone who serves someone, I cannot help but greet you, my master. This is just an old man’s stubbornness, so I would appreciate it if you could be generous and understand.”
“Tsk, what’s with the stubbornness… I guess you’re just curious about how our meeting went.”
“Of course, I won’t deny that that plays a part as well.”
“I have made arrangements with the High Priest. He said that if I am praised as a hero by many, he will grant me custody and parenting rights over Mabel.”
Hugo, who had been smiling kindly at his words, spoke with a completely serious expression.
“So you’re just saying that you’re handing over the young lady’s custody and upbringing? It seems like Your Majesty doesn’t know much about you.”
In response to Hugo’s response that implied that he could become a hero right now if he were the master, Kael passed him by and headed to the basement where Lily, Laina, and Lysa were.
Kael, who had ordered Hugo, who was following him around asking where he was going, to pack a quick dinner and bring it to his office, dropped him off. As soon as he entered the basement, he told the people there about the adjustments face-to-face.
“You… a hero?”
“Uh… I know this might be rude, but I think Kael would be more suited to being the enemy of a hero than a hero…”
“Weren’t we the villains?”
Yeah… This reaction is normal.
Kael, who had personally confirmed that Hugo’s reaction was rather strange, opened his mouth with a sigh.
“So I’m going to create a situation where I can be a hero. And to do that, your role is very important.”
The monster’s core.
To be exact, it had been quite some time since he had been entrusted with the core of a monster called Wyvern. However, he was only able to perfectly recreate its appearance. He was unable to realize the abilities of the monster that Kael had wanted while it was still alive.
“How many dolls have their appearances realized?”
“I’ve finished about a tenth of it.”
While the twins were struggling to realize the monster’s powers, Kael had identified and relayed all the monster cores in the other dimension. The number was more than the two thousand he had expected, and the exact number of cores was 2,958.
Kael nodded at the story that about 300 dolls were created.
“What’s the grade?”
“I was told to focus on making as many as possible, so I mostly used the cores of lower-level monsters. I made about 50 mid-level ones. I probably made about 10 high-level ones.”
He classified the cores primarily by type of monster, and secondarily by level of monster.
Monsters were largely divided into low, medium, and high level monsters based on their level of danger. Among them, the wyvern he first took out was a high level monster.
At Raisa’s story, Kael headed to a shelf with a door that filled one wall of the basement. When he opened the door, there was a row of small balls containing palm-sized dolls, and the dolls inside the translucent balls with strings tied to them looked very similar to the monsters in Kael’s memories.
“A ball with a shrinking spell… No, I’ll make more balls and bring them to you soon.”
The translucent ball was a magical item created by Kael himself.
No matter how large the basement was, there was not enough space to house dozens or hundreds of monsters, ranging in size from small dogs to as large as a ten-story building.
For large monsters, go to the Black Forest and make a doll. Then, put it in a ball and bring it to the basement in a small state. That was the plan that Kael came up with.
Kael picked up a couple of balls containing monster dolls of each grade from the shelf and spoke to those looking at him.
“Lily. Go tell Hugo that I’m going out for a bit, and then you can get some rest. The twins will go with me to the Black Forest.”
Of course, without listening to the answer, Kael used teleportation magic and went straight to the Black Forest with Lysa and Laina.
After returning from the Temple of the Beginning, they were ordered to create monster dolls. Thanks to Kael silently teleporting with them once a day, regardless of day or night, Raisa and Raina looked at him with their eyes closed.
This was because, unlike usual, he brought a monster core instead of doll materials. He brought a doll that had already been made, so I had no idea what he was trying to do.
“I would like to ask for your permission to begin working on the doll magic you created.”
It was okay to tamper with the basic spells that had existed for a very long time, but in the case of newly created spells, it was almost taboo for magicians to tamper with them without the permission of the creators of the spells.
That’s why Kael asked permission from the twins who created the doll technique, and Laina and Raisa, who had been exchanging glances at his words, soon nodded.
“It’s okay to touch it, but the spell we created is based on black magic, so if you don’t know black magic, it’ll be hard to touch it. If you touch it wrong, you might get hurt.”
Knowing that black magic was taboo among humans, Lysa warned him that no matter how monstrous his magical powers were, he was human and would not be able to use black magic.
Seeing him easily manipulate the spells drawn by the twins in the black forest, Lisa opened her mouth without realizing it.
Kael, who was analyzing and interpreting the spell by connecting his magic to the magic of those who drew the spell on that appearance, realized that Raina had not told Raisa that he was a person who had repeated reincarnation.
“I learned black magic before.”
“Is there anyone among humans who uses black magic? If you get caught with it, won’t your head be cut off?”
“It’ll just get cut down. It won’t even leave a trace.”
“But how….”
“It’s not really that important, is it?”
No, you made me wonder, so why aren’t you telling me the answer?!
Isn’t that right? Lisa, who was about to vent her complaints to her older sister, was able to face Lina’s face next to her.
A face so calm, unlike mine.
Looking at her sister’s expression that she had seen for 300 years, Lisa was strongly convinced that her sister knew why that human could handle black magic.
“Sister.”
“Huh?”
“I know.”
“what?”
“Tell me-! What is that human’s secret that he’s hiding even from me-?!”
At a time when Lina was feeling embarrassed by Lina’s urging, unable to reveal the fact that he had been reincarnated without asking permission.
Kael was almost able to finish interpreting the spell.
“… It’s more complicated than I thought.”
He muttered softly and looked at Raisa, who was holding onto Lina and her arm with renewed eyes, pleading rather than urging.
Rim, who had taught him black magic, was one of the few dark elves who could handle black magic. Kael, who had learned from him, thought that the twins, who were relatively young for a dark elf, could handle black magic quite easily, so he corrected his thoughts about their abilities.
Roughly A to A+.
“after….”
Kael let out a deep breath and slowly added another spell to the one the twins had created with his hands.
Fortunately, Kael was able to figure out why the twins couldn’t implement the monster’s abilities while making the monster doll.
The reason was simple.
This was because the twins could only use black magic.
Kael thought that once this was over, he should teach them some other magic as well, and he added more spells.
A buff magic that increases the abilities of a monster’s core.
An automatic disappearance magic that stops movement and disappears when the core is destroyed.
He added quite a few spells, such as the imprint magic that would allow the doll to move according to the dollmaker’s intention, and arranged the spells so that the magic could flow well through the spells.
“Sister… How could you not tell me anything… .”
“Lisa. Shh, I think the ritual is complete.”
Laina, who was used to gently comforting Raisa who was about to kneel, whispered, and Raisa, who had been whining at her sister’s words, looked at Kael with a serious expression as if nothing had happened.
“… No matter how I look at it, that human. It can’t be human.”
Since it was a ritual that the two of them made, the ritual that my sister and I made was larger and more complicated than a normal ritual. However, that crazy human had inflated the ritual by about 1.5 times.
The spell that was floating above Kael was a mixture of three colors, his magic and Lina and Lysa’s magic. As Kael began to pour his magic into it, the color of the spell began to turn a deeper purple.
When the magical power that made up the ritual was reduced to a deep purple, he took out one of the translucent balls he had brought from the basement of the Damie family, untied the string, and threw it into the ritual.
The translucent ball with its strings released spat out the doll inside, and the spell that touched the doll transformed into something huge that seemed to pierce through the trees in the forest with a strong light for an instant.
– Kwaang-!!!!
The light faded, and where the ritual had been, only a gigantic monster emitting an ear-splitting roar remained.
The monster, resembling a lizard with dark green scales that reflected the light characteristic of reptiles, had no arms and instead had wings like bats that were larger than its body, and the trees beneath its feet were crushed like delicate flowers with its sharp, well-honed talons.
It was a superior monster, a wyvern.
Lysa looked at Kael urgently, facing the dark vertically slit pupils set within the gleaming yellow eyes.
The appearance of the wyvern was familiar to me, as I had seen it several times while making monster dolls and adjusting the spells. However, I had only implemented the appearance of the monster. Since I had not implemented the physical abilities or special abilities of the monster, the monster would have retained its original appearance, but it could not destroy the forest.
However, the monster dolls that Kael had touched with the spell… no, the monsters themselves had changed. Even the slightest movement would ruin the forest.
There were more important things for me and my sister, the dark elf, than making the ritual a success.
Elves are a forest race.
Even if they’re dark elves, an elf is still an elf.
When Lysa saw that the Black Forest, where she had lived for almost her entire life, had been destroyed, her voice rose to a scream.
“You crazy bastard!!! Are you planning on destroying the forest?!”
Restore it to its original state immediately!!!
Lisa’s voice echoed in the black forest.
