Chapter 131 Plans
-----
After the whole incident with the Priests, I had decided to move back home now, and ended up spending the rest of the day thinking about this whole thing and more about this world I am living in now. It really felt like the world was unraveling itself more as I spoke with those men that knew more than I did about how things truly were within this world. I might be knowledgeable about many things, but I still don't know everything about this world, nor its concepts. Knowing things such as Positive Karma and the Blessings relation was interesting, and also learning that the Priests know Spell Construction is probably also surprising. I had assumed they could know something, but this was very much confirmed, people in this world do know about making spells as I thought, but only a certain group is taught this while commoners are often left without knowing this general knowledge.
Spells are dangerous, they can give a person more power than a simple Spirit can as long as they have Mana. Perhaps the entire Nation wants to not give this power to the general population, so they leave it as something exclusive of people above a citizen status, Soldiers, Priests, and Nobles, perhaps, there might be Magician Schools for all I know out there, but they're probably expensive enough that only Nobles can afford them to begin with. Keeping such a power was magic not as wide spread within the general population, but known enough to be a daily life thing, just that everybody cannot just easily use it.
That I can innately conjure magic of all elements means that it seems as if I was taught by somebody about all of this, despite that not being the truth. I cannot easily reveal all my spells in front of these Priests, but just what's needed… If they see that Eleanora doesn't have any relation to my magic either, they'll probably freak out a bit, but I don't really care about that. For the moment I would like to not show them what I am truly capable of.
"I really don't like those priests, if you let me be honest…" Said Eleanora. "Their auras of holy light really brought me back memories when we fought those arrogant Angels…"
"Ah, those guys? Well, there were also several other organizations that we defeated that used holy magic, they really thought that it was the bane of a Vampire?" I sighed. "At some point we were able to just bathe on it without problems."
"Well yeah…" She sighed. "Back on our home planet there were these Crusaders guys from that one organization… They always preached about being humble and good-hearted, but they were just even worse than us, and just enslaved people by tricking them into thinking they were good people that would help them find a home…"
"A-Asmodeus…"
Eleanora quickly changed her demeanor as I told her those honest words. I may not trust those people, but I trust my own strength and her, who is always at my side, if things go awry, I trust that she'll help me and we can get out of the situation together. I know that sounded childish, but it has been like this ever since I met her in my previous life. We have always gotten out of trouble together, and we'll continue doing so.
"Well, it is getting late now… After dinner, we are starting the surgery, I believe you've practiced enough?" I wondered. I had bought some skulls from animals, their whole heads including the eyes, and left Eleanora practice using them, she ultimately learned how to do surgery and she was ready for it. In her previous life she had done surgery countless times to my body, and I had done the same to hers, but I cannot really do surgery to my own eye without committing too many mistakes.
I am leaving that job up to her to realize, it is simple by now, after having absorbed demonic energy into my body and everything else. It should be possible to transplant the demon eye, I can hide its new appearance using Illusion Magic of Tier 1, changing the eye color shouldn't be anything hard to do.
"Oh, that… Yes, I am ready." She said. "It shouldn't be so hard, are you going to do it while being conscious?"
"Yes I must, I need to infuse demonic energy into the eye socket so the flesh adapts to the eye from a demon…" I said. "It will be painful but I've gone through worse pains, such as that one time I was torn in half, or that other time my body was turned to shreds and I thought I had died but I slowly regenerated back from the meat paste left… At that one point I realized that the only way to kill me now was by destroying my soul, so I started to fortify it to not have weaknesses…"
"The good ol' times… Ah, well, I don't think that particular memory is any good." Sighed Eleanora. "Nonetheless, we are mostly ready for it, right?"
"Yeah, everything should be ready by now…" I said.
"Blaaaaake! Come eat dinner!"
My mother called to me, as I quickly decided to walk downstairs, being greeted by her, my father, and my grandmother, Erika was not here at this hour, deciding to walk back home after staying most of the day helping my father and mother on the farm with me.
"Ah, Blake, you're looking awfully tired today, what's wrong, son?" Asked my grandmother, she seemed concerned about my health.
"Tired? Oh… Don't worry about it, grandma."
