The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

The puppet vanished from their sight in an instant.

Listy reinserted the mercury sword and summoned the puppet in the same pose once again.

“I recorded a spell on the Mercury Sword so that I can summon and store it like a magical pet.”

Liss recorded a fourth-circle spell chest into the Mercury Sword, which can store items up to two cubic meters in size.

Normally, summoning a magical creature is a summoning spell, and magic power is only required to maintain the creature's existence in the real world.

But this magical puppet is the opposite. When it's in the real world, it doesn't consume any magic energy from Risti. However, when it's idle in the space, it needs Risti to provide magic power to maintain the space's existence.

"That's so nice! I'm so envious. I wish I could have a storage space someday," Viner exclaimed.

Not only must it exist, it must be large.

This way, he could take the blacksmith's shop with him when he traveled.

However, the Mercury Sword and the Lionheart, both created unintentionally, can have similar effects.

However, whenever Wiener specifically sought to create weapons for this purpose, he never succeeded.

Chapter 216 Information about the Demon

After enjoying Listy's massage to reduce swelling, Vina felt a vibration in her student card.

Upon taking it out, I discovered it was a message from Felix.

"I've finished everything here, where are you?"

It seems that after returning to the dormitory, he found that Wiener was not there, so he sent this message to inquire.

"Lisette and I are in this class."

"Then I'll come find you!"

Felix still remembers his promise to take the puppet out for a walk every day.

"No need for that. Just go to the cafeteria. It's been a long time since I've had cafeteria food. I got some credits this time, so I'll treat you."

Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Viner made the suggestion.

"Then I'll go order!"

Felix practically gave his full approval.

“This guy.” Viner shook his head helplessly.

"What's wrong? Who are you chatting with so happily?" Lisette didn't speak until Vena put down her student card.

"Felix is ​​already waiting for us in the cafeteria. Let's head over there soon and chat while we eat."

Wiener's culinary skills are certainly not bad, but they are far inferior to those of academy chefs.

He's worked so hard on this internship, it's time for him to relax a bit.

“Hmm, that works too. Consider it a celebration of your safe return,” Lisette agreed.

If the cafeteria hadn't already closed when Vena returned, this welcome-back feast would have been arranged last night.

"Ask Jessica if she's free."

Vena also wanted to ask her about those demons.

"Okay, I'll contact the senior student."

-----------------

"Hmm—why didn't you tell me she was coming too?"

Felix waited expectantly in the private box.

The moment the door opened slightly, he immediately stood up to greet her, only to find Jessica standing before him.

The joy on his face froze instantly.

"Is there a problem with us Silver Wolf Class having a meal together? Oh, I forgot there's someone who isn't even a member of the Silver Wolf Class yet, tsk tsk tsk."

Jessica, with a hint of mockery in her voice, casually took the seat of honor.

“It’s perfect timing, perfect timing,” Viner quickly reassured Felix.

"I'm going out to order some more food."

Wiener's concerns were somewhat unnecessary.

During his absence, Jessica would occasionally guest-mentee Lisette's group, and her relationship with Felix improved considerably.

The reason for his embarrassed expression was simply that he was worried there wouldn't be enough food later.

"I thought my junior had a change of heart and invited me to dinner, but it turns out it was just a coincidence?"

As soon as Felix left the private room, Jessica turned her attention to Vina.

"Yes."

Faced with Jessica's questioning, Viner not only did not defend herself, but also nodded calmly.

"It's rare to have a senior student with time, so we should do something to show our gratitude for her care for us junior students."

Upon hearing this, Jessica's gaze lingered on Vina for a moment. "At least you have a shred of conscience. Have you absorbed most of the drug's effects?"

"Yes, it's mostly absorbed."

Wiener's physical condition is more than twice as good as before.

The hidden damages and losses have all been repaired.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he owes Jessica a huge favor.

"And also, senior, your teacher—"

Along with the hero, Jessica's teacher, Tilisa, also lost contact.

Jessica had previously said that she could get back in ten days to two weeks if things went smoothly, but now two weeks have passed and she has not only not seen him, but has also completely lost contact with him.

“That’s none of your business,” Jessica said, extending her hand to stop Venus from continuing.

“I know the teacher’s abilities better than anyone. Even if she encounters any danger, if she wants to leave, no one can stop her.”

"Even if a huge accident happens, at least Arios will die first."

Senior, your idea is dangerous.

Wiener hesitated to respond.

"Senior, isn't that a bit too much? What do you mean by 'the hero dies first'...?"

As a result, Risti, who was the most protective of the hero, couldn't stand it anymore.

“I was just using an analogy.” Jessica shook her head indifferently. “If we really encounter a crisis that even a hero can’t solve, then at least one person should bring out the information.”

"With this goal in mind, the teacher would do a better job than Arios."

If each hero is a combination of numerical and mechanical monsters, then Tissa, who wields the Time-based Crest, is the most mechanical of all mechanical monsters.

"What are you all talking about so excitedly?" Felix asked as he pushed open the door and came in from outside.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know about the demon who escaped from my senior's clutches."

Wiener seized this precious opportunity and quickly changed the subject.

The effect is immediate.

"I was planning to tell you this anyway, so I thought I'd do it now."

Jessica adjusted her posture and continued.

"The true form of the newborn demon has been confirmed to be a slime. Although the capture failed, the Black Eagles still left a mark on it. It will be exposed as soon as it enters the fifth floor, so we can rest assured for now. The Blue Lions and Golden Deer will re-inspect the dungeon and reopen it by the end of this weekend at the latest."

"Can a slime really become a demon?" Risty exclaimed.

After becoming a demon, one will completely break free from racial constraints and gain the opportunity to become stronger.

Therefore, there are many individuals who were originally weak, but after becoming demons, they were tempered over time into humanoid catastrophes.

However, there is a prerequisite: they must have a certain level of thinking ability and intelligence before they become demons.

Otherwise, even if they sensed the call of the Demon Blood Soul, they might not take it seriously.

Many monsters are extremely powerful, but have extremely low intelligence. It is very rare for this type of monster to give birth to a human.

While the slime's intelligence level isn't entirely nonexistent, it's likely lower than that of the puppet created by Risty.

The demons that evolved in this way are at least unprecedented.

"The facts are right in front of us, leaving us no choice but to believe them."

Jessica held up two fingers and continued.

"This is a completely unfamiliar demon, and we don't know exactly what its abilities are. It has already displayed two abilities so far."

"First, it can change its form at will, which is a capability that ordinary slimes possess, but it is more unpredictable and versatile in that demon. It can switch between human form and its original form, and it is possible that it can mimic other creatures."

As for the second one...

Jessica slowly retracted her middle finger, leaving only her index finger to gracefully trace a line in the air, leaving behind delicate streaks of silver light wherever her fingertip passed.

When the entire expanse of silver light merged into one, it vaguely outlined the silhouette of a katana with a chilling gleam.

"It's one of the very few demons who can use weapons. I wonder if Junior Brother Vina has any clues?"

Chapter 217 Aiding and abetting evil?

Drawing magic runes is a fundamental skill for a mage.

Many people start practicing even when they are still apprentices.

The more complex the magic circle, the more complex the magic runes.

Even the slightest mistake can ruin everything.

Therefore, Jessica's drawing skills are excellent; with just a few simple strokes, she can convey the intended meaning.

Although it was just a long sword drawn in the air, those who knew it could tell what it meant at a glance.

"You do look familiar... Felix, do you have any clue?"

Viner broke out in a cold sweat and quickly passed the question to Felix.

"It feels a bit like the blunt blade that Vener made."

Naive Felix blurted out what he was thinking, then slapped his thigh, "I know! It was it that picked up the Dull Blade!"

"So it really was the junior's doing."

Jessica waved her hand, and the silvery light in the air vanished instantly.

The moment she saw the demon wielding his weapon, she felt a sense of familiarity, which confirmed her suspicions.

"The Black Eagles were just a hair's breadth away from capturing it, but that demon used a weapon that appeared out of thin air to sever the shackles of the magic prison."

Magic Prison, a seventh-circle shaping spell, cannot be destroyed by physical means in principle.

Especially after the Black Eagles' elite students cast the spell together, its effect is close to that of an eighth-ring spell.

Its binding power is so strong that even Jessica, who can teleport at will, might not be able to break free easily.

With magic of this caliber, controlling a demon who had only recently awakened should have been a piece of cake.

Therefore, it's easy to associate this with the weapon wielded by the demon.

Seventh-circle spells, whether in terms of prerequisites or the costs of casting them, are not things that can be easily acquired.

Therefore, after the Magic Prison was breached, the Black Eagles would find it difficult to cast equivalent spells in the short term.

If Jessica hadn't arrived in time, the slime monster would have been able to break through the blockade on its own.

"Does our culprit have anything to say in their defense?" Jessica tapped the table and looked at Vina.

“Yes,” Viner said resolutely, raising her hand and pointing to Felix beside her. “Felix did it too.”
