Everyone knows that it is very dangerous to re-inject the "cursed substance" that was extracted from Willie's body with so much painstaking efforts into his own body.

However, for Maka, who already has a considerable understanding of this substance, only by doing this can he transform the soul rules contained in it into the power that he can drive with the highest efficiency.

Yes, in fact, if he follows a more conservative approach, it is not impossible for Maka to extract the rule runes from it, and gradually master this branch of soul rules through further research, just like he learned from the Bewitching Monument.

It has to be "arrogant".

Before that, although the progress was slow due to various busy activities, he was indeed studying it steadily.

But given the current situation, he really doesn't have that time to waste it.

"Delphi, go back quickly! Don't worry, I won't mess around. Even if I do plan to stay, it will only be after I have successfully gained the strength to protect myself! You should know that I am not that kind of person.

People who insist on joining in even though they know they are going to die..."

After Maka's kind words and persuasion, Delphi finally gave in. However, before leaving the study, she still couldn't help but leave a sentence that made Maka feel helpless.

"I won't tell Miss Granger and the others about this...but you have to remember, no matter whether you succeed or not, I will be wherever you are!"

After saying this, she pursed her lips and ran out of the door in a hurry, leaving no chance for Maka to speak.

"Mr. MacLean," Blois said to Maka as he looked at the door that had closed again, "I think she is serious."

"Of course, I know."

Maka sighed, and after a few seconds of silence, she temporarily put aside the complicated emotions caused by Delphi's words, and said:

"Mr. Blois, let's start as soon as possible!"

"You" Blois frowned again after hearing this, "Please allow me to confirm again, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure."

…

The reason why Maka was so determined was not without reason. After injecting the "cursed substance" from the test tube into his body, he knew exactly what he was going to face.

After all, with his always cautious temperament, he would never risk his own life easily.

And perhaps for the same reason, Delphi, who once owned the soul rule rune, was more concerned about Maka's desire to stay alone, rather than obtaining the rule rune from that substance.

plan.

However, it is by no means an easy task to forcefully master the second branch of soul rules in such a crude way!

"hiss"

Just after injecting the viscous blood-colored substance from the test tube halfway into her body, Maka could clearly feel a majestic force spreading throughout her body along her blood vessels and meridians.

Although Maka's magic power has been exhausted, his mental strength has been fully restored. But it is precisely because of this that he dares to make such an attempt that is extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

"Material drives appearances, and the spirit deduces rules." This truth was something he had already said personally when he entered Hogwarts in his first year.

"This... is much more cruel than 'arrogance'!"

After using her tenacious mental strength to suppress the force that was about to move within her body, Maka muttered quietly while absorbing all the red liquid in the test tube into her body.

The next moment, he threw the empty test tube to the ground and stood alone in the middle of the huge study... As the muscles all over his body tightened involuntarily, obvious veins even appeared on his forehead.

However, it must be noted that the "cursed substances" injected into the body will not bring any physical pain to Maka. At the moment, Maka's body does not actually feel any discomfort.

Not only that, in fact, as long as Maka does not resist, the power currently boiling and erupting in his body will not even harm him.

That's right, just like Willy back then, this so-called "curse" that exists in her bloodline will only hurt other people around her.

However, Maka does not want to turn himself into a "humanoid nuclear radiation weapon" that cannot be turned off! What he hopes is to truly control this harmful power and completely transform it into his own strength. .

Having the "Arrogance" rune, he understood that he had to completely suppress the power that he was eager to release in his body first, and only by doing this could he truly begin to understand the mystery of its rules.

The huge mental pressure made his expression gradually become ferocious.

While Maka was fighting tenaciously against that force, Mr. Blois stood outside the sealing magic circle he had drawn, staring closely at Maka who was standing in the center of the formation.

As soon as Maka signals to him, he will immediately fully activate the magic circle to help Maka forcibly seal the restless power.

For a moment, the study became completely silent.

Just like that, Maka stood there motionless for nearly half an hour.

"Even under such a powerful stimulation, is there no sign of the magic awakening?" Suddenly, Maka, who was continuing to persist, couldn't help but whisper to herself, "Or, this kind of stimulation at the soul level is actually the same as the magic. Doesn’t it have anything to do with whether he wakes up or not?”

It can be heard from this sentence that Maka is not doing this entirely to quickly master the soul rule runes. He is actually still hoping to restore his magic power through this method.

He knew that as long as he could activate even a trace of magic power during this period, his problem of magic power depletion would be equivalent to half solved.

For many things, as long as you get started, there will be hope of continuing until the end.

"……Well."

Perhaps standing for a long time made Maka feel tired. Although his face seemed a little less ferocious than at first, it was replaced by a pale color that gradually faded away.

To be honest, Maka really didn't expect that before that power went out of control, he seemed to be defeated by his unrecovered physical strength!

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but slowly sit on the floor, trying to save himself more energy to hold on while maintaining the suppression of the power in his body.

Until another half hour passed, the soul rules finally showed Maka its most primitive appearance bit by bit.
