Chapter 158 Abyss Mages!
Chapter 158 Abyss Mages!
Entering his office, Elric sniffed the air taking in the familiar scent of dried ink and beast skin parchment.
"Haa~ it's good to be back, I can't believe that this place is still intact"
Blowing off the dust from the top of his desk Elric was pleasantly surprised.
Unlike what he expected to be devastated and in ruins from the war, Everything was in near-perfect condition.
Just looking at it made him sigh at his luck.
"Haha, it's probably because the young master's luck is too strong."
Looking at Elric's reaction, George laughed.
In Fact, he too was surprised when he discovered that this was the only intact room in the whole building.
That time, his expression was almost the same as the one Elric had currently
*Knock-knock*
*Knock-knock*
Just as the two of them began laughing, a sudden knock interrupted
Hearing this, both Elric and George could already guess who it was
"Come in!"
Shouting toward the door, Elric found a seat behind his desk while George pulled one from the opposite end.
*Creak~*
With a low creaking sound, after hearing Elric's approval, the person on the other end slowly opened the door
"Young master, how are your injuries?"
"We rushed back as soon as we heard you were awake"
Entering the headmaster's office Davis took the lead bombarding Elric with questions just like George did earlier
And also entering behind Davis was Alvin who had shockingly returned to his human form.
Speaking of Alvin, as soon as he entered the room Elric's eyes immediately fell on him
"How did you do it?"
Asking Alvin, the curiosity in Elric's eye could not be hidden
How did he do it, this was the only thought in Elric's mind as soon as he entered the room
Although the current Alvin looked exactly like a human, Elric could sense huge waves of abyss aura just bubbling under his skin
However, although bubbling, it didn't seem to want to explode, rather it looked to have reached some strange equilibrium.
And hearing Elric's question, George on the side also turned to look at him with strange eyes
Obviously, Alvin's human state also shocked him.
Perhaps it was only Davis in the whole room who didn't look surprised as his mind was currently on Elric's state of injury.
"Haha about this young master, perhaps I should thank the abyss demons back then"
"Me going all out back then actually led to a huge change"
speaking of this, the joy and happiness in Alvin's tone could not be concealed
Tired of living in exile, at least with his current state he could move back into the academy.
Thinking of this, Avin excitedly told Elric what happened.
"Young master, like you when it happened I was also shocked!"
"Back then when I fully transformed into an abyss demon, using magic in that state triggered a series of changes that I never expected"
"And the number one change was this"
*snap!*
Snapping his fingers, Alvin's figure began to change.
His height grew, reaching two and a half metres.
His skin turned red and began emitting puffs of black smoke
Two pairs of curly horns grew out from his head along with a matching set of wings
Seeing the family Abyssal figure in front of him, Ekric wasn't all too surprised as he had expected something like this.
And unsurprisingly, Alvin's next words further confirmed his thoughts.
"Back then after repeated use and stimulus, both the abyss aura in my body and mana began to merge"
"Now all I need to do is manipulate a bit of mana to turn into an abyss demon, other times I'm in human form"
"Not only that, my human form alone is almost five times stronger than before"
Hearing Alvin say this both Davis and George, although shocked, were genuinely happy for him.
After learning about Alvin's condition, both of them knew the past one alone must have been hard on him.
Now seeing him like this, both of them felt happy for him.
However, just when everyone was in a good mood, Elric asked a question leaving them shaken.
"Alvin, you said this was caused by mixing Abyss aura and mana"
"Doesn't that mean as long as we get more abyss aura and enough wizards, we can have our own army of abyss demons"
"No, not abyss demons, abyss mages!"
Imagining this, a fire of ambition burned in Elric's eyes.
Thinking about it, if even half of the wizards present could reach the level of the five generals he faced back then
Just with that, he felt like he could walk anywhere at least in this small plane unimpeded.
As for the main plane, just kidding, God kings, Ancient Gods, Blasphemers, all kinds of people who could pinch him with a thought existed there
Elric wasn't ready to return at least until he had the confidence to survive.
However, although he could return yet, hearing about Alvin's condition made Elric feel closer to his goal.
"So how about it Alvin, does it seem possible?"
Turning to look at Alvin, Elric anxiously waited for Alvin's reply.
Unfortunately, his answer was negative.
"Young master, I don't think that'll be possible"
"Even me who has been you from the beginning, many times I almost ran mad due to the abyss infection"
"Sometimes I'd wake up on hills of corpses, unknowingly I had lost it all night and slayed all the beast's all around me"
"The constant voices at the back of your head urging you to embrace the abyss, and a fire of flame burning in your chest"
"There's also the fact that the merging happened under a series of coincidences such as being under pressure fighting five abyss generals"
"All in all young master, unless all the conditions I experienced can be replicated, along with keeping the same or even a better mental state"
"Only then can I say it's possible"
Telling Elric his thoughts, although he didn't say it directly in order not to dampen Elric's mood, but Alvin's words more or less hinted that it was impossible
However, his words seemed to have the opposite effect as after hearing Alvin's words Elric spoke with a smile on his face.
"So In summary, as long as the conditions are right then it's possible!"
Hearing Alvin's words, Elric was satisfied. As long as there was enough data and research, Elric was sure to replicate it.
