Whispering Verse

"This is a thaumaturgy created by me based on the fairy tale "Match Girl". The casting materials are the stories I copied myself. This is my greatest achievement so far as a low-level warlock."

While Shade was surprised, Miss Louisa explained her thaumaturgy.

The figure summoned by thaumaturgy had already tremblingly lit a match, and then stretched out its short arms and raised it into the air. Under the weak light of the match, the black "cat mud" that was illuminated actually screamed.

"To deal with half-realistic, half-illusory monsters, we must use methods of the same nature."

Miss Louisa said slightly proudly.

The figure of the match girl continued to hold up the match as Shade watched in amazement. Blood and tears were left in hundreds of eyes in the black cat mud at the same time. Then, the temperature in the room dropped sharply again. At the same time, because the curtains were already drawn, the dim vision became even darker, and the light of the match was suppressed.

"Detective, use light. My thaumaturgy can deal with it, so it wants to extinguish the match. Now you use light so that it can't suppress two light sources from the ring magician at the same time! This thing looks worse than I thought. Be weak."

"no problem."

Shade temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, then raised his right hand high, a silver light slowly appeared on his fingertips, and he shouted:

"Silver Moon!"

The rotation of the life ring in the soul drives the spirit to influence reality in the form of thaumaturgy. The silver light on the fingertips suddenly bursts out, and the situation of reduced indoor visibility is indeed improved. But the silver light at the fingertips did not stop. Instead, it completely exploded like the sun.

[Its power is inherently...Have you forgotten that you are in the "divine afterglow" state now? 】

Thaumaturgy itself does not harm its user, so Shade's eyes were unharmed.

But the silvery light as bright as the sun completely flooded the entire room. Shade saw the flame in the match girl's hand and the moonlight, wrapping up the black nightmare. He heard screams coming from above his head, like thousands of cats venting their hatred before death, but then he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.

The holy silver light seemed to evaporate the entire room. When the silver moonlight was completely extinguished, the cat mud above the head disappeared. The bedroom seemed to have suddenly transformed from a cold alley into a warm church hall, filled with warm and holy air.

He looked at the person pulling on his sleeve and heard Miss Louisa complaining as she covered her eyes:

"Oh, my eyes! Detective, you actually call this a light spell?"

The last time Silver Moon's "Light Technique" was used was to suppress the darkness when the relic was out of control, Shade mistakenly underestimated the power of the Light Technique.

But fortunately it was a nice summer day and the curtains in the bedroom were tightly closed, otherwise the silver light that just erupted would definitely attract the attention of pedestrians on the street. But the situation of Miss Louisa, who was almost right next to Shade, was not good. She was exposed to strong light at close range for a moment, and she temporarily lost her vision.

But instead of letting Shade take care of her first, he asked nervously:

"Is the nightmare still there?"

"I think it's gone."

Shade looked around the room and felt that the room had a sacred feeling like a church. But as the moonlight disappeared, so did the feeling. But it is obvious that the nightmare caused by the relic being out of control has disappeared:

"Your Match Girl and my light spell seem to have dispersed it. Oh, Miss Louisa, are you okay? Do you need help with treatment? I'm really sorry, I..."

Ignoring Professor Manning who was on the ground for the time being, he stretched out his hand to help the blond female writer sit down on the chair in front of the desk. Although she was a four-ringed sorcerer, she could not move normally without relying on her eyes.

"The doctor said this is a light spell? Oh, no, this can definitely be called [exorcism]. I should have thought earlier that this light can even suppress out-of-control relics, so it is not a normal light spell no matter how you think about it."

"We'll talk about thaumaturgy later. Miss Louisa, can you see my fingers now?"

It would be fine if the writer was only temporarily blind, but it would be troublesome if his vision was permanently damaged due to what just happened. He waved two fingers in front of Miss Louisa, but she didn't respond.

"Let me treat you first."

"But can't your [Cindia's Silver Moon Gift] be used only at night?"

"I have learned a new thaumaturgy, please wait a moment."

He took out the small bottle he carried with him from his pocket. After shaking it for a while, water droplets immediately condensed on the wall of the bottle. Then he used the thaumaturgy [Food of Fullness] to deal with these water drops, and finally made Miss Louisa raise her head and open her eyes:

"If I didn't know you well, I would suspect that you wanted to take the opportunity to do something bad."

The blond writer teased, then raised his head and felt water droplets falling into his eyes. Subconsciously, I closed my eyes and let the warm liquid soak my eyelids. Then I opened my eyes and found that my vision had completely recovered. Even the slight myopia caused by staying up late to write a book seemed to have disappeared.

Shade wanted to continue dripping, but Miss Louisa raised her hand to stop him:

"No need, my eyes are completely healed."

After saying that, he stood up and blinked his green eyes at Shade from a very close distance. The color in his eyes represented the vividness of his eyes. Shade's face turned red at the sudden approach of Miss Louisa. He took a step back, then lowered his head and put away the small bottle that exuded silver light:

"I didn't expect the newly learned thaumaturgy to be so effective."

Seeing Sha De's appearance, the female writer smiled, but instead of teasing him, she ordered:

"In this way, you will also have the ability to heal during the day, which is really good. But don't put it away first, Professor Manning is still waiting for your rescue."

After the clerical relic [Happy Dream Pen] went out of control and was solved by Shade's "Light Technique" and Miss Louisa's "Match Girl", the room completely returned to normal. As for Professor Manning, who was curled up on the carpet, his body shriveled up like a deflated balloon, and he lay there dying. His whole body seemed to have aged ten years, and he was about to die.

When he was constructed by the materialized nightmare, too much life force was drained away from him.

Although Professor Manning is not like Miss Louisa's dead friend, who used the Dream Pen many times and fell deeply into it, losing control of the relic is much more terrifying than simply using the relic.

Fortunately, he was still breathing, so after confirming that Miss Louisa was really fine, Shade first used [False Immortality] on the professor, then pulled out the pen inserted into his wrist, and used [Satisfactory Food] again. Treat water for therapeutic purposes.

In the treatment of trauma, the thaumaturgy developed by [Gluttony] is very effective, but physical depletion does not seem to be considered an injury. So Shade just wanted to give it a try. After letting the wound on his wrist heal, he helped the unconscious professor sit up to prevent him from choking, and then carefully fed him some water that emitted silver light.

The shriveled body actually improved, and [Fulling Food] was more useful than Shade thought.
