Zongman: Building a Demon Clan from Scratch

“I didn't expect Kasumigaoka-san to master the magic of 'automatic writing' so quickly. Mr. Lynn's familiar is indeed extraordinary.”

Then, Rias changed the subject and said, “I remember Mr. Lynn's residence is quite a distance from Komao Town, right?”

“There's a teleportation magic on page 777 of that book. Why not take this opportunity to learn it and set up a marker here? It would be convenient for future visits.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's performance piqued Rias' interest.

She wanted to see whether Kasumigaoka Shiyu's learning ability was strong or if it was some kind of special ability.

Although the teleportation magic on page 777 is a common skill in the Underworld, its difficulty is definitely no less than some of the secret techniques of noble demon families.

Even she had spent a long time studying it seriously back then.

She didn't believe that Kasumigaoka Shiyu could master this ability in such a short time.

Lynn saw through her plan at a glance, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he fueled the flames, saying, “Shiyu.”

Although they had only spent a little over a day together, Kasumigaoka Shiyu understood Lynn's intentions.

She flipped the black leather book to page 777.

‘Magic Circle Jump’.

The white feather pen didn't hesitate at all, copying it onto the Book of the Demon.

Rias didn't have to wait too long.

The moment the white feather pen stopped, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, with Lynn's approval, directly released her magic power.

Buzz—

A purple magic circle, dozens of times larger than before, rose above the Book of the Demon!

The dense runes within it made people's eyes dizzy.

At least Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't understand what those runes represented.

But it didn't matter; she didn't need to understand!

This was the Scribe Demon!

Rias stared at the ‘Magic Circle Jump’ magic circle, slightly lost in thought.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

She actually… really learned it?

In such a short time??

Even Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko's attention was drawn over.

As Rias' familiars, they had also mastered ‘Magic Circle Jump’, so they were even more aware of the difficulty of this magic.

A familiar who seemed to have just been reborn from an ordinary person into a demon, who had only just come into contact with the supernatural world, had mastered a rather difficult magic in a very short time.

If it was just through learning, then it could be described as having heaven-defying comprehension.

“As long as knowledge is recorded in that book, it can be mastered.”

Lynn clapped his hands and said, “As expected of the heiress of the Gremory family, you quickly figured out Shiyu's ability.”

“Let me formally introduce you, the Scribe Demon, Kasumigaoka Shiyu.”

“Scribe Demon…” Rias murmured, then said, “A very fitting title.”

Rias took a deep breath, then tentatively asked, “I wonder if Mr. Lynn would be willing to reveal the limits of this ability?”

Recording everything, controlling everything.

If it really reached that level, Rias would not hesitate to categorize it as a God-Slaying Gear.

Lynn propped his chin with his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. “Limits, huh? I'm not too sure either. How about Miss Rias explores it herself?”

How could just a common magic application skill satisfy him?

It was time to unleash the skills, Miss Gremory.

ps: Seeking data!!

ps: Thank you for the monthly tickets!! Thank you for the flowers!!

Chapter 9: Excessive Magic Power Consumption? Only Mana Replenishment Will Do

“So that's it. Is that why you had Kasumigaoka-san demonstrate her ability?”

Rias suddenly understood, then looked at Lynn with a complicated expression.

Was this also part of your plan?

Lynn wore an expression of being discovered.

Mere common skills could not satisfy his appetite.

He had also flipped through that black leather book a few times.

He could only say that there was too much theoretical knowledge.

And there was a lot of repetitive content. It was simply long and tedious.

The remaining magic-like abilities were all similar to ‘automatic writing’ or ‘illumination’ – very ordinary things.

The most valuable thing was probably the ‘Magic Circle Jump’ teleportation magic.

As for powerful, wide-ranging, and practical skills, it could be said that there were almost none.

Now that he was here, Lynn naturally wanted to mooch some powerful skills.

Therefore, seeing Rias become curious about Shiyu's ability, he naturally went along with it.

Whether there would be results or not, he would cast the line first.

To be honest, Rias was indeed hooked.

She really wanted to know what Kasumigaoka Shiyu, this Scribe Demon, was capable of.

Rias smiled helplessly. “Alright, you win.”

“Akeno, bring that ‘Lightning Strike Magic’ over.”

“Yes, President.”

Himejima Akeno didn't hesitate.

She never hesitated about the decisions Rias made.

“Lightning Strike Magic.”

Rias pushed a parchment scroll towards Lynn. “Super-tier magic. This is already the most advanced magic I currently possess.”

Lightning Strike

Lynn inadvertently glanced at Himejima Akeno.

If he remembered correctly, her ability seemed to be lightning-based, right?

Rias had really taken out her best stuff.

Lynn opened it and glanced at it.

Hmm, he couldn't understand it at all!

Lynn instantly lost interest and casually handed it to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

“I'll leave it to you, Shiyuu Beast.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't mind Lynn's nickname for her this time, and excitedly took the scroll of ‘Lightning Strike Magic’.

Wow!

Super-tier magic!

It sounded very powerful!!

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was already somewhat in awe of Lynn.

Three sentences and he got the demon heiress to give her a super-tier magic!

Kasumigaoka Shiyu forcibly calmed herself down, then opened the scroll.

The dense words instantly made her dizzy.

She couldn't understand it at all…

Fortunately, she already had experience with ‘Magic Circle Jump’ before, so…

Just start copying!

While waiting, Rias briefly explained what super-tier magic was.

Simply put, magic that could cause demon king-level power was called super-tier magic.

Hmm, simple and clear.

“Okay, done!”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared at the fresh words on the Book of the Demon, eager to try.

She subconsciously wanted to release her magic power like before.

“Wait a minute!”

The corner of Rias' eye twitched, and she stopped her in time.

“Lightning Strike Magic is a bit too powerful. Let's go outside.”

Her Occult Research Club was almost going to be destroyed.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also reacted. “Uh… sorry.”

Rias shook her head, indicating that it was okay, then took the lead and walked outside.

The open space behind the Occult Research Club.

The Book of the Demon floated in front of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the pages constantly flipping, making a rustling sound.

“Lightning Strike!”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu shouted softly.

The pages of the Book of the Demon stopped at one of them.

A blue magic circle with a diameter of one meter rose into the air.

Crackle!

Without the slightest pause, a blue lightning pillar as thick as an oak tree instantly fired!

Boom!!

The lightning pillar landed on the ground, instantly smashing out a crater with a radius of one meter.

Dense, snake-like lightning constantly jumped, making crackling sounds.

So strong!

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared blankly at the scene in front of her, not even daring to believe that she had caused it.

It's just…

So tired…

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's legs went weak, her body leaned back, and she fell into a firm, warm embrace.

Lynn looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu in his arms, observed her slightly, and came to a conclusion.

She must have used too much force and exhausted her magic power.

Rias walked forward and said, “Miss Kasumigaoka should only be a low-level demon, right? That attack just now probably exhausted all of her magic power.”

She glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and seeing that she was fine, her gaze unconsciously shifted to the crater not far away.
