Chapter 477 Just Replenish Some Magic Power
"Dorothy, use this Cursed Spirit for practice."
Ayato pointed at the Cursed Spirit. "Don't be afraid. He can only move his mouth now."
"Mm... okay."
Hearing this, Dorothy became a bit flustered.
Ayato instructed, "Look up 'magic power release' in the basic magic book. That's the fundamental attack method for us Devils."
"Thank you for the guidance, Master."
Dorothy nodded and began flipping through the book according to the table of contents.
Hum!
She raised both hands, tangible magic power surging in her palms.
The next moment.
A beam of magical power tore through the air and landed squarely on the Cursed Spirit.
"AAAAHHHH!"
A miserable scream rang out. A fist-sized hole appeared in the Cursed Spirit's body.
It struggled madly, its power constantly exploding, but it couldn't escape the invisible restraint.
After all, it was an upper-level Cursed Spirit.
Dorothy, who had just become a Devil, couldn't do too much damage to it.
But the pain was real.
Besides that...
The feeling of becoming a target was even more terrifying.
What was even more terrifying was that it wanted to escape, but was completely powerless.
"Your magic power release is still very rough. Now, increase the precision."
Ayato guided. "Given this Cursed Spirit's strength, it should be enough."
"Come on, attack freely."
"Okay, Master."
Dorothy's eyes lit up as she condensed magic power again.
"Y-you, stop right now!"
The Cursed Spirit was shocked and angry. "Otherwise... AAAAAHHHH!"
Before it could finish, its words turned into continuous screams.
"Now, I kind of feel sorry for this Cursed Spirit."
Shizuka watched as the Cursed Spirit's body was riddled with magical power beams, already tattered. The corner of her mouth twitched.
"But this Cursed Spirit's ability is possession. That's quite rare."
"Indeed."
Ayato stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
If he remembered correctly...
These Cursed Spirits were called the "Possession Group."
This possession ability... had actually formed an organization.
In such a hodgepodge world...
Everything that existed was reasonable.
So the emergence of so many Cursed Spirits with possession abilities definitely had a reason.
A moment later.
The Cursed Spirit was horrific beyond recognition, without a single intact place on its body.
Dorothy was also sweating profusely and panting heavily.
But on her face...
A look of excitement appeared.
She had become so strong.
She had a feeling that as long as she worked hard, she could definitely destroy this Cursed Spirit with her own power.
It was just... so tiring.
Thinking this, Dorothy suddenly felt dizzy and nearly fell to the ground.
Yukino stepped forward to support Dorothy and said, "You just became a Devil. Using magic power release this frequently has probably almost exhausted your magic power."
Dorothy said instinctively, "What should I do?"
"It's nothing serious. Just have Master replenish your magic power."
"Mm, leave it to me."
Dorothy blinked.
Replenish magic power?
She had seen that mentioned earlier, introduced alongside the Blessing.
Could it be...
Thinking this, she saw Ayato's face drawing closer.
No way.
Had she really guessed right?
"Mmph..."
Her eyes widened, her breathing growing heavier again.
Indeed.
Different term, different name...
But the process was the same.
But...
Her magic power was indeed recovering quickly.
A moment later!
Ayato left Dorothy's lips.
Mm.
She had become much more skilled.
This servant had a lot of potential.
"Th-thank you, Master. My magic power has completely recovered."
Dorothy's cheeks were flushed, her lips slightly pursed, but she looked directly into Ayato's eyes.
It seemed...
She wasn't so shy anymore.
"..." xN.
Seeing this, the gazes of Yukino and Hana both became sharp.
This woman... was evolving so fast.
It seemed they had underestimated her.
They exchanged glances, their expressions changing.
Maybe we should discuss it?
Yukino signaled with her eyes.
"Fine. No matter what, we can't let a newcomer get ahead of us again."
Hana signaled back.
"Master, can I continue practicing?"
Dorothy clenched her little fist, her eyes shining as she looked at the Cursed Spirit.
Ayato: "..."
Cursed Spirit: "..."
Good grief. The transformation was too fast.
She didn't look at all like someone who had been scared into wetting herself just now.
"Go ahead."
"Thank you, Master."
Dorothy's face lit up with excitement as she condensed magic power again.
Then!
The Cursed Spirit's screams continued.
