Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Hmm... you're right. The magic power in my palm is within a few hundred miles of me. I took it and compressed it into this."

Baili, what kind of concept is this!

Kato Megumi just felt it was a little unbelievable. You know, the length of Loha City from the east to the west of the city is only 20 miles. If Loha City is used as the unit area, hundreds of miles is equivalent to more than a dozen Loha Cities.

In other words, Miss Witch drained all the magic power within the area of ​​more than a dozen cities in an instant!

What a powerful control! In just a moment, all the magic power disappeared, and the area within a hundred miles became a magic-free place.

You must know that without magic power, the magicians in this world are like those without weapons, at the mercy of others and powerless.

Suddenly, Kato Megumi finally understood why she had been quite proud to think that her rapid advancement was a good talent, but the witch lady said that she had not even entered the entrance stage.

With such strength, any magician who has not entered the transcendental realm would probably have no ability to resist at all!

Seeing such ability, Kato Megumi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Ha... As expected of Miss Witch, you cleared all the magic power around you in just a moment. Hui has some intuitive understanding of your strength."

So the gap between me and Miss Witch is now far beyond reach...

"It seems... I still need to work harder until the day I can surpass you..."

"Ah, you're so confident, little one. That means you have a good attitude... Then I look forward to your encouragement."

Patchouli relaxed her brows, looked at Kato Megumi who clenched her fists, and curled the corners of her lips.

"But before that, let's make sure your source of magic power doesn't deteriorate any further..."

Patchouli tilted her head and handed over the magic ball in her hand which contained a magic power of a hundred miles in radius.

"If we don't have enough quality, we can make up for it with quantity. I think this much mana should be able to solve the problem of your source collapsing. Why don't you give it a try first!"

"As you command, lovely and beautiful witch lady!"

Kato Megumi lifted her skirt and saluted with a smile on her face, then picked up the compressed magic ball.

As soon as the magic ball touched her fingers, the magic power released made Kato Megumi so comfortable that she squinted her eyes subconsciously. Her body, which had been feeling a little uncomfortable due to the sudden loss of magic power, instantly became alert.

Even without using mental power to explore, Kato Megumi could clearly perceive with her naked eyes that the magic power condensed into liquid inside the magic ball was so huge, and its concentration was almost comparable to the sum of all the magic stones in the core area of ​​a high-level magic mine.

Although she had never been to the mine, she still had a lot of magic stones that she had purchased.

After it was completely grasped in the palm of her hand, the rotating gaseous sphere instantly solidified into a solid state, and a hint of unbearable hunger and thirst arose from deep in Kato Megumi's heart.

Kato Megumi knew that it was the nebula that was craving for this energy, so she did not waste any time and used the power of the nebula to begin absorbing the source of magic in the palm of her hand.

As soon as the rich magic power entered the body, it was drawn into the nebula within the spiritual sea. Due to Miss Witch's extremely advanced compression method, the purity of the magic power was close to the limit, so the pure magic power did not need to be filtered through the gaseous cloud around the nebula. Instead, it went directly to the interior of the golden star and began to expand the golden star itself, maintaining its structure and replenishing its missing power.

Somehow, Kato Megumi only felt a feeling of satisfaction leaping into her heart, as if the tip of her tongue, which had not eaten dessert for hundreds of years, suddenly touched the sweetness. First there was surprise, then satisfaction, and the whole person was in a state of euphoria.

This feeling is simply incomparable to the power that devoured the evil demon in the past.

After all, although the evil demon is a body of pure energy, its essence is still an individual, not some rare treasure. The energy in its body is extremely limited. Even if it is absorbed, after filtering out a large amount of impurities, it is just a consolation and has little effect.

But the magic power compressed by the witch lady is different from the negative energy of the evil spirits. This is all the magic power within a hundred miles. It is the purest power between heaven and earth. With so much power compressed together, the concentration and quality of it are simply incomparable to the negative energy of the evil spirits.

If we compare the two, one is one day's food, and the other is a hundred years' food. You can imagine the difference.

The golden star gradually devoured the incoming energy. At the beginning, the speed was not fast, just like a starving child who had no strength to eat.

However, as the devoured energy gradually replenished itself, Nebula absorbed power faster and faster, from chewing slowly at the beginning to swallowing it all in one swoop. In just a short while, all the magic power within a hundred miles was swept away and completely digested into the body.

However, Kato Hui could feel that the nebula in her body was still not satisfied and was still a semi-finished product. If the finished product was 100, then the current semi-finished product was only 5, and the magic power she had just consumed was only 1.

But even so, Kato Megumi was already very satisfied. With the replenishment of these magical powers, the nebula in her body finally stabilized.

Not only did the volume of the nebula increase, but the surrounding misty cloud ladders also gradually began to have scattered traces of color, but they were not obvious at all among the numerous clouds.

The nebula itself has also recovered some of its functions as a source, namely, producing its own magic power.

However, compared to other people's normal sources of magic power, the nebula in Kato Megumi's body has not yet fully recovered. The magic power generated now can only rely on the magic power from the outside world to be absorbed into the body and then purified. She still needs to rely on the outside world.

However, even so, Kato Megumi was very happy. This meant that in addition to the ability to bewitch and psychedelic, she had another means to fight the enemy. You know, the magic power generated by the nebula not only does not burden the body, but also increases the intensity of attack. It is also extremely easy to use, and compared to using the power of heaven and earth, the consumption of mental energy is also reduced a lot.

In general, one's own strength has been greatly improved.

"It's finally solved, Miss Witch, thank you so much"

Kato Megumi said happily.

"Well... after all, you are my investment target..."

Patchouli waved her hand and conjured up a book the size of a fingernail, which floated in the air and she sat on it again.

She swung her feet and looked at Kato Megumi casually.

"The stability of the source should be no problem. You will have plenty of time to find some energy to replenish it. Is there anything else you need help with? I don't have much time left to accompany you. The world is suppressing me more and more. I think you can feel it too."

Patchouli tapped the phantom book under her butt with her index finger and reminded her.

"I think you should go to that place as soon as possible. The prophecy about your destiny that I caught before is that that place should be the key for you to leave this world, and at the same time you can also get a gift from this world that is very suitable for you."

After being reminded by Patchouli, Kato Megumi calmed down and nodded. She did feel that the vague sense of rejection was getting more and more serious, which meant that she would not stay in this world for long and needed to leave here as soon as possible and go to the next world.

And I guess I’ll never see the friends I met here again!

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi suddenly thought of something, and then asked Patchouli.

"Ms. Witch, when you first reminded me of the treasure map, did you already know about it..."

Seeing Kato Megumi's tentative question, Patchouli nodded.

"Well... just as you said, I calculated some fragments from your fate, so I reminded you."

"I see... As expected of you, Miss Witch... But since you can predict the future, will the gods here also..."

"Ah, you can rest assured about that. They can't calculate too much. After all, you are a visitor from another world. If you hadn't signed a contract with me, I wouldn't be able to calculate much either."

"Besides, I'll protect you, so you don't have to worry about them. Although I can't exert even 1% of my power here, these gods can't really attack us, so we're all... about the same, right?"

"Then I feel relieved..."

Seeing Patchouli so confident, Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief. The witch lady was so powerful. She had already felt it from the magic power extraction just now. But then again.

"Miss Witch, can you use the extraction you just did many times? If magic can replenish energy, can I use only magic to complete my nebula?"

"Huh? Why do you think that? That's impossible."

"Huh? Why?"

"Any structural product is not composed of a single substance. For example, life is composed of a variety of substances, and water is also composed of a variety of tiny particles. Do you think your source can be perfected with only one kind of energy?"

Patchouli floated to Kato Megumi's forehead and poked her gently with her small index finger.

"Hmm"

"So don't think about taking shortcuts. There are no shortcuts in the world. Even if there are, they are a dead end."

Hearing Patchouli say this, Kato Megumi felt a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no shortcut.

She had actually thought of this, and just wanted to ask with a try-it attitude, and the result was as expected. In this case, she could only work hard to find food and support her family (Xingyun).

"Although I know that I am fanciful, I still feel disappointed when I know the answer..."

Kato Megumi sighed.

"I don't know why humans love taking shortcuts. We witches have never thought of this..."

"Well... that's of course because Miss Witch is very strong and beautiful, so she naturally doesn't need to take shortcuts."

Kato Megumi said with a smile.

"Hmm? I won't do you any good even if you praise me."

Patchouli tilts her head

"Hmm, this is what I really think~"

Kato Megumi puffed up her lips.

"By the way, I want to ask you, will your drawing of that magic power have any effect on the surrounding area?"

"Ah~ There are some effects. After all, so much magic power has been extracted. Although it won't become a magic-free place, the magic power nearby will be much thinner in the next few days. After all, it will take some time for the surrounding magic power to replenish. There are no other problems. You don't have to worry about this at all."

"Ah, is that so?"

Since the matter had been resolved, Patchouli did not delay and quickly disappeared and Kato Megumi was in a daze for a while, then touched her slightly red cheeks and murmured.

"Keiko needs to work harder..."

……

……

There was an incident in Neiluoha City that caused a sensation these days, and the gossip spread all over the streets and alleys. Everyone in Neiluoha City knew about it.

That was the incident of the city lord being possessed by a demon.

After investigating what happened that day, the news was quickly announced to the public the next day, causing an uproar.

Their city lord was secretly controlled by the devil, and many missing girls were caused by the city lord's instructions.

No matter who heard this, they found it unbelievable, feeling terrified but also relieved.

You have to know that he is the city lord. They, the civilians, are powerless to do anything about what the other party did. But at the same time, the civilians are also glad that what the other party did was discovered and the demon was killed.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I never thought that our city lord was possessed by a demon without knowing it."

"That's right. It's scary to think about it now. No wonder I felt like there were fewer people around me recently. It turns out this is the reason."

"This is all thanks to Her Majesty the Saint. If it weren't for Her Majesty, who would have known that the demon was hiding in the City Lord's Mansion? It's terrifying just to think about it."

"That's right... When I go to the temple to pray and be baptized, maybe the demons won't dare to come over. Who knows if there will be any fish that slip through the net."

At one time, the number of worshippers coming to the temple increased dramatically, and the saint's reputation was spread by everyone, and her fame increased.

Before this incident, Kato Megumi was already loved by everyone, and now that this incident has happened, Kato Megumi's prestige is at its peak.

What is our saint doing at this moment?

She is...

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 240 Chapter Eriri, the Desperate One

On the sunny balcony, Kato Megumi turned her face to the sun, her long eyelashes flickering in the warm sunlight, and her round eyes stared at a hairy belly.

"I poke, I poke"

The index finger poked gently.

A soft touch and a purring sound emanated from the ball of fur under my hand. The cute white beard twitched up and down, accompanied by the fluttering of the orange-white hair dotted with pink.

“Poke again, poke again…”

The ball of fur moved, curled up even more, and even moved back a little, trying to avoid the restless fingers.

A soft tail flipped up with a snap, waving in the air and hitting Kato Megumi's wrist.

"Um?"

Seeing the cat's actions, Kato Megumi frowned, then sighed, and reached out her hand decisively, grabbed the fur ball's neck, and lifted it up from the rocking chair.

The lifted ball of fur struggled weakly with its four legs, but then seemed to have thought of something and finally stopped moving. Its tail and whiskers drooped, like a ball of kneaded dough, slowly stretching in the air, with a look of frustration on its face.

And this furry ball was none other than Ying Lili, who had already woken up from her coma.

"Don't be angry, why should you be angry? This is very cute!"

With a snap, Eriri's tail hit Kato Megumi's wrist, and then she turned her head away.

"It's easy for you to say that. I've completely turned into a cat this time! I'm not even a spirit anymore! Do you know how miserable I am? I could still comfort myself when I was a spirit before, thinking that I would be able to recover my human form in the future. But now! I've completely turned into a cat when I woke up! I'm not pure anymore, I'm not pure anymore!!!"

Ying Lili had a frustrated look on her face, she covered her eyes with her cat paws, and her furry belly bulged back and forth angrily.

"I thought I would gain some powerful skills from this growth, but who would have thought that I would only be given a body! And a cat's body! Could it be that the smart and lovely Eriri-sama, the most famous cartoonist in the world, would live like this as a cat for the rest of her life? This is simply..."

"Wow, wow, I'm so sad."

Eriri said in self-abandonment, her beard jumping up and down as she complained to herself. She looked as if she had lost all hope in life and gave off an aura of decadence, which made Kato Megumi speechless and choked, not knowing what to do.

It turned out that a few days after that incident, Eriri finally woke up. Not only did she find that her speed had become faster, but her five senses had also become sharper. Not only that, she could also contact Kato Megumi from a long distance, which was a very happy thing.
