The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

But in the past six months...

Without card-making tools, Dekan can't make any cards in this Demon King's Tomb.

So I had no choice but to learn some magic.

It just so happens that both Dekan and Sheen are support characters.

The spells that Sheen is good at can also be useful and practical for Dekan.

Thinking back, the card production was also forced to stop for the past six months.

Dekan would often, consciously or unconsciously, recall his card-making journey over the years.

I found myself constantly running at high intensity.

Let's stop and take a break.

Perhaps it's also a good digestive process.

"You're such an idiot, I don't want to teach you anymore."

Sheen said speechlessly.

She taught Dekan for almost half a year, but Dekan only managed to learn one third-tier spell.

From the perspective of a ninth-tier mage like her, a talent worthy of being recorded in history, teaching Dekan was truly exhausting.

"I'm naturally an academic research talent, and besides, not everyone has such outrageous magical talent as you!"

After all, how many people in this world can break through the limits of humanity and cultivate to the ninth level?

Dekan rolled his eyes back at Sheen.

His talent and effort lie in magical engineering, not in practical magical skills.

"What you said makes some sense. I really am a genius that comes along once in a millennium... By the way, is there any follow-up to what you said last time about 'fate will stay tonight'?"

Sheen also gets bored sometimes.

One time, when Dekan was free, he told Sheen the story of the Holy Grail War, which Sheen found quite interesting.

What Dekan said about the difference between him and Sheen is quite similar to the difference between a magician (scientific research) and a magician (practical application) in this story.

"Tell me first why there's a problem when I use your [Miracle Irrigation]."

【Miracle Irrigation】is a third-tier spell created by Sheen, and there is also a version made into a spell card.

Miracle Irrigation

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 3]

[Effect: Consumes mana to accelerate the growth of plants within the area.]

[Note: This is a limited-edition commemorative item officially released by the Kingdom Federation.]

Dekan did not choose to prioritize learning some of the spells that Sheen used to support his teammates.

Because Dekan doesn't have a casting time, his spells are too slow to be cast, and many spells that are useful in actual combat are useless to learn.

So, to pass the time, I simply learned this magical spell that could make flowers and plants grow quickly all around me.

Sheen doesn't need cards to use this magic directly.

Once it's made into a card, it allows other people to use the spell quickly.

The price to pay is a 3-cost card slot.

"Try it once so I can see."

Sheen gave Dekan instructions with considerable disdain.

She always teaches with this attitude.

Or rather, there are very few people in this world who can get her to personally guide them in magic.

Dekan nodded and began to cast the spell on the surrounding plants.

However, after a few seconds, almost nothing happened; there was no sign of plant growth.

When Sheen released it himself, a few seconds were enough for a large patch of flowers and plants to grow around it.

"I've told you several times, your magic output is too conservative, increase it."

Sheen gave the order.

Following Sheen's instructions, Dekan increased his output, but seemingly inadvertently began to use the Demon King's magic.

Suddenly, the plants began to grow wildly, and even gradually transformed into terrifying demonic plants.

Sheen looked speechless and casually killed the mutated plants, which had become aggressive.

"Your control over the output of magic power in actual combat is too poor, but these basic skills cannot be learned overnight."

Sheen shook his head and said.

Dekan wasn't unlearned of the magic; he simply lacked proficiency in the entire practical spell system.

Dekan can quickly understand complex magical principles and has an unparalleled precision in controlling subtle magical power.

However, he is still too unfamiliar with the direct output of his own magic circuits.

"How come even a third-tier spell is so difficult?"

Dekan complained while practicing hard, trying to find a balance.

Seeing Dekan's expression, Sheen nodded slightly.

That's already pretty good.

He's learned it, no matter what.

Although it's called the third-tier spell [Miracle Irrigation], it's actually not easy to learn.

The higher the rank of a spell, the harder it is to learn.

The difficulty of learning a spell is related to its level after it is made into a magic card.

For spells corresponding to the white, common level, those with high comprehension and good compatibility may learn them quickly.

Learning the blue-grade rare level will take some time, and if the compatibility is poor, it will be even more difficult.

Purple rarity requires magical affinity, and the learning period is also very long.

Orange epics are almost equivalent to innate spells, similar to vampire powers. They are difficult to learn later, even if you have the best affinity with them, unless you use special methods.

Seeing that Dekan had found something to pass the time, Sheen sat cross-legged in the flower field, resting his chin on his hands, and asked, somewhat bored:

Why are you so determined to learn this magic?

Upon hearing this, Dekan hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, and replied:

"This spell is the foundation of your support spell series, and it's also a good way to practice magic control."

Aside from information-gathering spells like divination, most of the support spells Sheen uses in battle involve converting his own mana into buffs for his teammates.

While [Miracle Irrigation] is a life magic, it represents the very foundation of the basic principles of Sheen's magic.

Perhaps after several years or even a decade of practice, Dekan could truly become an excellent support mage without relying on magic cards.

However, before reaching the end of his journey as a card maker, Dekan had no intention of training himself to become a true mage.

As for trying to master this magic...

He would never tell that big mouth, Sheen, that he learned this magic because he wanted to make Cornelia happy.

He made Cornelia wait for so long.

Even though Dekan pondered every day in the Demon King's Tomb, he could never have imagined what it would be like to see Cornelia again.

How will Cornelia react? And what should he say first?

Dekan didn't know.

Some answers can only be found out when you meet them in person.

but.

Regardless.

If I could make Cornelia see the grass on the ground miraculously turn into a small sea of ​​flowers, it might be surprisingly nice?

When Dekan was transformed into Little Grey and taken back to Cornelia's dormitory, he remembered seeing many flowers and plants in Cornelia's house.

She will definitely like it.

As he pondered this, Dekan looked helplessly at the sea of ​​flowers at the Demon King's Tomb.

Although the Demon King's Tomb has beautiful scenery, even the path leading to the ninth floor has been blocked.

They also couldn't contact other levels of the Demon Realm Prison.

They were unable to detect anything about the outside world of the Demon King's Tomb.

Dekan didn't know why the Demon King's Tomb in the real world had become like this.

To get out, we'll probably have to rely on spatial magic.

Although many useful parts can be extracted from the artificial shadow world launcher.

However, repairing the [Space Jump Gate] requires crucial materials.

Moreover, there were some parts that Dekan didn't know how to repair.

I'm afraid we'll need Mier's guidance.

Even if the [space jump gate] is repaired, energy will still be a problem.

The special demonic power within the Demon King's Tomb is a sealing power integrated with the barrier, and cannot be used as a pure energy source in conjunction with the [Space Jump Gate].

The energy required for teleportation is directly proportional to the strength of the teleporting unit. Dekan didn't know where to find the energy to teleport the ninth-tier Shinn.

It seems that neither of them has any hope of leaving this closed world.

but.
