Chapter 2 : First Demon Creation
【Beast】Demon King Marchosias declared that she would show how to create demons.
「Although it’s important to make a dungeon, creating demons is important too. Anyhow, demons protect us Demon Kings, they also act as bait to lure humans.」
It seems that it’s like that. So basically, people come to raise their levels.
It’s useless if there isn’t any demon.
「And, there are two very different ways to obtain demons, first, is to use DP. You can ascertain the strength of a demon through their rank. There are eight stages in total ranging from G rank to S rank. However, it’s only possible to buy Rank G and Rank F demons with DP.」
「Why can only weak demons be purchased?」
「There is an exception; when you have created a powerful demon aside from those exchange with DP, it becomes possible to buy that demon and demons two ranks below in the same family. For example, because I have created Rank A Cerberus, I can buy Rank C Orthrus with DP.」
I see. In other words, if I want to prepare powerful demons, I should create demons without using DP, huh.
「I’ll give a demonstration. How to create demons without using DP. I’ll use a Demon King’s personal medal. Watch and learn.【Discharge】」
Shortly saying so, a medal engraved with a golden wolf appeared.
It seems like it has an intense power hidden, I sense a strong magical power.
March threw it to me.
The moment I held it, information about the medal flowed into my head.
『【Beast】Medal. Rank A. Gives beast attribute to the created demon. Large correction to physical ability and vitality. 』
「Each Demon King can create a medal engraved with their personal symbol once a month. In my case, it’s the【Beast】Medal. When you combine two medals, a demon gets created. You should also try chanting【Discharge】」
「It seems interesting. I’ll try it.【Discharge】」
A medal appears on my hand.
A medal engraved with two intertwined spirals.
I identify it to get more information.
『【Creation】Medal. Rank A. It can be used to synthesise with two medals other than【Creation】(including the original) to create a demon. The manufacturer can change the attribute of the medal to what he desires and use it for synthesis. Also, from an innumerable possibility, there is the likelihood that what you desire will be picked.
※ You can change the attribute once and never again』
What the heck is this?
Usually, two medals are used to create a demon, and yet, I can’t create one if I don’t have three medals, isn’t this surprisingly inconvenient?
「Now then, let’s create a new demon with my【Beast】Medal and yours. A terribly powerful demon should be born from two original medals.」
March stares at me with eyes full of expectation.
However, unfortunately, I can’t create a demon with my medal.
「I’m sorry, but I can’t make it. Here, look at my medal.」
I throw the medal to her.
Since I was able to identify more information about her【Beast】Medal, perhaps she could do the same to my【Creation】Medal.
March’s complexion changed.
「What’s with this unreasonable medal…… No matter how you put it, is too strong.」
With an expression dyed in astonishment, “Impossible” she mutters so.
「Is that so?」
「Listen, a demon’s strength is proportional to the energy from the medal used to create it. When three medals are needed instead of two, it’s irregular but also a good thing. Besides,【Creation】is a Rank A Medal. That the energy from the Rank A Medal, which is a plus as it is, will still increase…… Although only that can already be said to be unfair, why is even the attribute you like also given? It even has the likelihood to be chosen from countless possibilities!?」
March snorts rudely.
「That’s amazing.」
「How can that not be anything but amazing? Demon Kings have a hard time collecting medals with symbols of other Demon Kings’ attributes needed to make different demons. However, what I’m saying is, as long as you have【Creation】, you can choose which attribute to get, and it’s possible to create any demon.」
Now that she mentions it, that’s true. In that case, I can be proud of its terrific versatility that I can get what attribute I want and take it at face value.
「Besides, different demons sometimes appear even if the same Demon King creates a demon using the same medal. For example, even if I use my【Beast】Medal, I’m not clear if a lion, a wolf or a hamster will come out. As long as it’s a【Beast】, then anything is possible. However, with that【Creation】, you can choose among all the possibilities. There is no such unreasonableness, you know.」
I gulp my saliva.
No matter how I hear it, this medal is so efficient that it’s broken.
「You, You better not tell your medal’s efficiency to other Demon Kings.」
「Is telling it to March okay?」
「I am your guardian so isn’t it fine? Besides, I already…… However, this is troublesome. A demon can’t be created with only my【Beast】and your【Creation】, huh? Well, there’s nothing I can do about it. Consider this a large service. I’ll also give this. It’s a medal I obtained from another Demon King. Moreover, this is an original and not an imitate. There are three Rank A Medals. What kind of monster will come out? I can’t stop shaking.」
March puts the【Beast】,【Creation】and also【Flame】medals on my palms.
『【Flame】Medal. Rank A. Gives flame attribute to the created demon. Large correction to vitality, physical ability and magic attack power.』
This medal is also A-ranked. It seems that a Rank A Medal is considerably rare judging from her tone.
「Now then, hold the medals tightly, then chant【Synthesis】.」
The feeling of expectation makes my heart beat quickly.
I bow, pray, then begin to talk.
「【Synthesis】」
Light peeks through my palms.
A dazzling light.
The heat rages.
I gently opened my hands, light began to leak. Shadows form in the air.
The scene where【Beast】and【Flame】become one floats in my mind.
Every possibility floats one after another. Among those, I instinctively grab one possibility.
Furthermore, with the ability of【Creation】, I add one last piece to my demon that I couldn’t find.
What do I want?
What I want for this new life–
I have decided on the answer.
For my first creation, a friend is good. We can spend time together for a long time, talk together, and laugh together.
I change【Creation】into【Human】.
I add the【Human】attribute to【Beast】and【Flame】.
And now, a new life is complete.
The light stops.
“She” was there.
Golden hair similar to molten gold tied up with a golden pin, fox ears with black tips.
And, fluffy and soft fox tail.
Above all, she was beautiful.
A girl in the first half of her teens. Her body is full of dangerous charm.
「No way, Tenko. There is practically no such demon in the territory of a Demon King– S rank, this is the first time I have seen one.」
March’s pupils are showing mixed fear and excitement.
I also can’t stop shaking from the girl’s hidden power.
「……」
The girl opens her eyes, she has red pupils.
Her eyes looked at me straight. I lost my voice to her excessive beauty.
The girl’s lips which have a healthy colour open.
「Otou-san!」
And then, she jumped at me.
At that appearance, there is not a bit of that mysterious atmosphere just a little while ago.
