Chapter 166: Chapter 166
===
It took a while, but finally Juri managed to get Merlin to put down the "weapons"!
Even though the old Mage was full of caution and ready to attack, he heard what Juri had to say.
Juri first showed her face when they entered a comfortable place without cameras.
Then she explained.
"While I was in Europe, I ran into demons and such, dealt with a Lilith so I ended up acquiring 2 items related to a Salomon!"
Juri knew that Merlin had a passive type of spell to detect lies, so she avoided lying.
"Lilith Salomon?" - Merlin was amazed, naturally he knows these names and soon explained.
Lilith is a very old demon, presumably over 3000 years old, she traveled the world and had fun, killed who she wanted to kill, fucked who she found fun and so on.
It is said that she seduced the Mad Emperor and was even a Queen in the past under such a guise.
It is also said that she was the one who gave the Mad Emperor the idea and helped him find and annihilate several large Cults.
She herself devoured many of the Devils that lived in America, so there are virtually no Devils in America.
But legends say that she ended up betraying the Mad Emperor, which infuriated him and he hunted her down, Lilith fled to Europe and has never been seen since.
Knowing that it was sealed and discovering the functions of the seal, Merlin was quite amazed.
As for Salomon, that was a name revered among the Mages of Europe, but feared by the Demons!
Salomon was recognized as the [Black Sage], he was a very powerful Mage, many of the Spells and Contracts that are usable today, he created.
The Family Contract he developed, but unlike Mages who use Fairies, Fauns and other mystical beings for power, Salomon used the Demons!
Salomon made a contract with hundreds of demons, turning them all into his Familiars.
And in the last records connected with him, it reports about him becoming a Demon and going mad, but before he went completely mad, he threw himself into Hell bringing hundreds of demons with him.
And many believe that to be the case, as after Salomon disappeared, the amount of existing Demons decreased a lot!
When Merlin learned that there were traces of Salomon in Europe, he really wanted to know where it is, but Juri said she doesn't know, as she stumbled across the items by accident.
Now as for his transformation, she said that it was the elixir that Salomon created, which would apparently turn a Paranormal Creature into a Demon.
But it was more special, as it didn't turn a Human into a demon, but it would make a human receive the traits of a demon.
For example her vitality, ability to wield an evolved form of Negative Energy, but in return, she received the weaknesses of a demon, only half of it.
Not to mention that she didn't receive everything a Demon has, like her immense lifespan, ability to devour other demons or people to gain power.
That is, she didn't gain many things that a demon would normally have, but she still benefited a lot, now she is officially a Transcendent!
Juri even showed her [Void Energy], which Merlin thought was Demonic, but noted that... it was more controlled and stable!
Even though it has the destructive properties that Demonic Energy has, it is 50% weaker in that regard, but it is more controllable and malleable
"Could you give me some of your blood for my research?" - Merlin asked calmly.
Juri was silent, because the last time someone asked for her blood like that, the person came back stronger and killed her!
"Look, I prefer not to, because bad things happen when I give my blood to others!" - Juro said, shrugging.
Merlin nodded and didn't insist any further.
Then after an awkward silence, Juri broke the silence and said.
"Well, I guess it's time we started studying and practicing, correct?"
Merlin nodded and then, they started learning!
First Juri started handing out books about the [Mana Field] and [Magical Consciousness].
Merlin unlocked [Magic Consciousness] in the blink of an eye, he is a Transcendent Mage, this is nothing to him!
But the [Mana Field], that was something he was very interested in, drawing Mana from the environment into his body, then letting it be refined around him, until it reached a saturated point and finally brought it all together and consolidated it into one core!
A very interesting and ingenious methodology, Merlin had his doubts, so he asked Juri, who started to do demonstrations and explanations.
Because of her [Instruct] Skill, which she asked the System to hide, Juri was able to teach others with ease, even more so the more she knew about the subject.
Juri also taught Merlin about the Magical Veins, something Merlin already knew, he himself had already opened them all.
Then it was much easier, Juri taught him how to create her [Mana Field], which was already quite large and started to affect the environment.
But as they were in a suitable place for testing, the time that passed was Merlin learning to control this Mana.
Then it was spellcasting, where he started learning the [Magic Runes].
Starting from the Runes he doesn't understand, just by memorizing their form, then thinking about it, he was able to form spells with his Mana.
He saw that it was quite simple, so he wanted to understand the depth of the Runes, where he began to study more fervently.
But of course, it wasn't just Juri teaching Merlin, Merlin also taught him the methodology of European Magic.
And it was something very complex, since it involves 4 different languages: Fairy, Holy, Draconic and Demonic.
Fairy Tongue spells are more supportive and weird, something on a more mystical and weird side, like turning others into toads, playing pranks, etc.
Holy Tongue Spells are more focused on healing, but also on dealing with Demons, the problem is that it is extremely difficult to master and use it, as it has been centuries since the last Holy Mage passed away.
The knowledge of that language still exists, Juri has started to learn it, but without a Holy Familiar, she won't be able to do much.
Magic of the Draconic Language, is from an extremely ancient language, it denotes before the birth of the first humans, when the greatest wild beasts roamed the surface, among them, Dragons, holders of immense power and magical talents!
Somehow they developed the ability to speak and their words already held immense power!
And the older and wiser a Dragon is, the more power his words contain!
And the Draconic Language is the one that Mages use the most, since it has the greatest destructive power, not to mention that the deeper your knowledge of the Draconic Language, the more powerful your spells will be.
Not to mention that when making Contracts with Reptilians, the power of Dragon Magic increases significantly, but it is not something that significant, since most Reptiles are common animals.
And there is only 1 intelligent Reptile that is common knowledge, which was an experiment centuries ago, which gave birth to an abnormally intelligent Reptile capable of using Magic and speaking the human language.
Currently this Reptile is isolated somewhere that people are not aware of and he has not made any Family Contracts, even though he has been forced into some in the past, but he has always managed to escape without repercussions.
Practically Draconic Magic is one that can evolve over time, so it is the most used!
Finally, Demonic Tongue Magic!
Demonic Magic naturally originates from Demons, beings that learn magic naturally as they have large amounts of Mana.
Their Spells are destructive similar to Draconic Spells, but they lack in some respects.
But the focus would be the ability to curse, mental corruption and etc.
The best thing is that more advanced Mages can start mixing languages to develop more powerful spells.
For example, one can mix Fairy Tongue with Demonic Tongue, develop strange deadly curses!
One can mix the Demonic Tongue with the Draconic, developing a spell of mass destruction with residual effect, like: Pool of Acid!
European Magic is very limited, but it is powerful!
Juri in 1 week, learned the 4 Languages and started doing the basic spells of each one of them.
From the fairy language, it was the [Levitate Object] Spell, which reminded him of a movie and book saga about a School of Witchcraft in his past life.
From the language of dragons, it was the [Fireball] Spell, which reminded him of a certain invincible and relentless magic duck!
From the demons' language, it was the [Melting] Spell, which he used to melt a clay sculpture, it didn't remind him of anything in particular.
As for the tongue of the Holy well Juri felt pain trying to use it, so she stopped.
And with the 4 Languages learned and going deeper into them, Juri ended up assimilating everything related to Magic and acquired the Tier 3 Skill [Arcane Knowledge]!
Your knowledge of Runes, Magic, and even the Paranormal has been assimilated into [Arcane Knowledge]!
And this Skill as soon as it was acquired, filled many gaps in Juri's knowledge, which made her satisfied and learned even more easily.
After 1 month, something big happened!
Robert came to Juri, informing him about Asia, a public execution of 3 Genius Cultivators, as an apology.
Curious Juri took a look days later, so the 3 kneelers were beheaded after apologizing to Mrs. Smile and beg her to improve the lives of the citizens of Asia.
"What are you going to do?" - Asked Merlin.
"Nothing, it's not because the 3 died that I'm going to run and spawn [Torres], that's exhausting as hell!" - Juri said yawning and turning off the TV.
"Not to mention they're apologizing but not giving anything, but I think they're going to annoy Mr. Robert for a meeting." - Juri said carefree.
Merlin thought a little and decided not to get involved, in fact he owes favors to some Martial Artists, likely that as soon as they learn of his proximity to Juri, they will come to ask for these favors.
So he'll wait until they come, that way he'll get rid of some weights on his back.
"I wonder how these Cultivation Techniques are, the method I use to increase my Chi reserves are different from theirs, as they accumulate over time, I otherwise!" - Juri said to herself.
Merlin didn't say anything, Juri is like that, sometimes she starts talking to herself.
