Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 650 Hybrid

Chapter 650 Hybrid

The reprieve became the talk of the town over the next few days. Everywhere that Wolfe went, he heard more about it. But the final day of the celebration had come, and it was almost time for Wolfe to be moving along to the other Kingdoms.

The Royals were getting excited, and though he would only spend a few days with each of them, they had all made plans to buy various Magical Arrays from him.

His first stop would be with King Leandro, the Incubus King, who Wolfe was informed had brought some of his family members to meet them at the Palace when they days' events were over.

It would be a shame to have to leave, the feedback from spending nights with Rail and Chen was really helping Wolfe's growth.

Much like what he could do to help the Witches grow, a Succubus could do for their partner on a more primal level. There was an energy transfer back and forth, and their bodies naturally refined it before returning some of it.

The Succubus got the majority of the energy in the end, but there was an upside for both partners that was enough to convince the other species of Demons to keep them around.

When he came down for breakfast on the last morning, there wasn't a huge crowd like there had been for the first few days, instead there was just one single Demon waiting for the pair of them to come outside.

She was leaned against a building, being ignored by the crowd as they passed by, and it was easy for Wolfe to understand the cause. She was on the very low end of rank one, barely able to use magic at all. In short, an embarrassment of a Demon.

But her mana pathways were a mess, born twisted and blocked. Most likely, she had been an unhealthy and premature birth, and it had left her stunted. It was no surprise when she locked eyes with Wolfe and hurried to his side the moment that he left the building, but she was careful to keep out of arms reach of Rail.

Plenty of people had asked for Wolfe's help over the course of the week, and he had helped most of them, but the common people still had a bit of anxiety around the Investigators. Just seeing them in your place of business was enough to make you worry that you had actually done something wrong, and Rail had recently been promoted, with her Senior Investigator badge proudly pinned to her coat for the duration of the festivities.

"Patriarch. Might you be able to help with my mana veins? I have some coin to pay." The Demoness whispered.

"Certainly. Join us for breakfast, you'll need to be seated for this." Wolfe agreed.

Warm smiles and waves greeted Wolfe as he made his way to the restaurant for breakfast, and led their guest to a booth in the back.

"This part of the process could be pretty intense. Some of your pathways didn't form properly, so I am going to have to realign them. That's not going to be a fun process. They're linked to your internal organs, and they need to be reset into a different pattern while I fix the linkages. It shouldn't be particularly painful, but it will not be comfortable, and it's best we do it before eating."

The Demoness gave him a wan smile. "We're good there. I'm ready anytime that you are."

Mostly it was just that her kidneys were both on one side, which had shifted her liver and the pathways that connected to them. Once they were in place, he could repair the rest of the pathways easily enough.

The look on her face as her stomach distended and shifted like something was alive inside while Wolfe's gravity magic sorted her out made it abundantly clear that it was a good idea to do this before eating. But it was over in under a minute, and he got to work on repairing the damage to the mana pathways themselves.

The Demoness was still young, likely in her mid-teens, so the veins hadn't completely atrophied, and as he bolstered and repaired them, they began to rapidly heal and move a trickle of mana for the first time.

Then the strangest thing happened. Mana began to flood into her body as the veins fully activated, and a strong healing effect surrounded her.

There wasn't enough mana in the area, so Wolfe set up a Mana Gathering Array over their booth to let it feed her body's adaptation, while Rail simply stared in shock.

"You're a Royal," the succubus whispered as the mana flowed into the girl's body.

Her body was adapting remarkably quickly to the influx of mana, making up for lost time, and Wolfe was intrigued. The more he increased the mana density, the faster she adapted, until finally, he had to stop the adjustment because the mana level was making Rail dizzy.

She couldn't tune it out like he could, it flowed through her, and unlike their guest, she was unable to adapt that fast.

At Rank Four, her body began to stabilize, and the rapid breakthroughs ceased, allowing Wolfe to reduce the mana levels back to normal while he inspected the Demoness for signs of injury.

She was still giving off incredibly strong healing energy, and now that she was more powerful, Wolfe could tell why. Under that hooded cloak, she was half Dryad. The Dryads had incredible powers of healing and natural growth, which she had inherited, but was completely unable to control.

Most Demonic children learned this when they were still toddlers, as the expenditure would make them pass out from exertion, but she was grown, and it would take her a few more minutes to find out about the exertion side effect if she didn't manage to control her powers on her own.

After a few seconds, the effect faded and the Demoness slumped forward in her seat. The waitress came over, quite concerned for her wellbeing, but Wolfe just smiled.

"If you can get us all a nice, hearty breakfast, it will be fine. She's just exhausted from a magical medical procedure." He explained.

"Coming right up."
