"Obedience Magic"
A dark, flame-like existence floated out of Aura's body and landed on the side of the obedience scale. Yakumo didn't know if it was magic or something else, but it was definitely not a soul.
If the soul was pulled out, no matter if it was a human or other creature, it would not be so peaceful. Even if only a part of the soul was taken out, it was definitely not a pain that could be endured casually.
“Is it a symbol of magic power…” Yakumo quickly moved to the side to avoid the armor’s attack, and then used group healing to send it away.
Then, a white ball floated out of Yakumo's body. Yakumo looked at his MP and found that it had not decreased.
Is it qualitative magic, but the concept of magic power?
When looking at the MP value, Yakumo noticed that the experience value had increased again. It was because Xinmei had dealt with the beheading officer in front of him and it was rushing towards this side.
"You're really fast," Aura said as she watched Xin Meier rush over. "If you had dealt with him faster, he would have been a real threat to me. Unfortunately, once the obedience magic is activated, it cannot be stopped."
Yakumo ignored Aura's words and focused on the ball of substance that represented his magic power. Unlike Aura's, which was in the shape of a flame, his ball looked like a filled water ball.
Yes, in terms of performance, his magic ball is completely different from Aura's. It's not just the difference between white and black, but the performance characteristics are completely different. The surface of Yakumo's magic ball is as smooth as milk.
"It's not blue, what a shame..." Because the MP bar is blue, Yakumo thought his MP bar would also be blue, but it turned out to be white...
With a slight sound of "Duang", the ball representing Yakumo's magic power finally fell on the obedience scale. Yakumo signaled Xin Meier not to worry.
"Sinmeier, if the end representing me is raised and obeys the magic, kill Aura directly and determine my status at the same time." Yakumo said to Sinmeier without hesitation.
In MapleStory's judgment, abnormal status is a very interesting category. Conventional abnormal status, such as weakness and darkness, does not seem to be cleared after death. It is not certain whether Yakumo will change it later.
But the control state will be gone after death and rebirth. In addition, Yakumo is not without a backup plan, which is why he has been tinkering with potion alchemy recently.
Chapter 72: Submit to Me, Aura
The secret potion of awakening, this is what Yakumo discovered after upgrading his potion alchemy. The formula of this potion is sold in the system store, and the price is not cheap. Yakumo spent a lot of money to save money.
There are many things in the store, very complete. However, the potion recipe does not show the effect of the potion, but only shows what potion can be made. Only when the level is unlocked and the subsequent potions can be viewed, the specific effect of the potion can be known.
The description of Awakening Potion is different from that of Purification. The description of Awakening Potion is that it can remove all abnormal states and has a CD. The description of Purification is that it can remove some abnormal states, but has no CD.
Although there are also rumors that the subsequent revisions will classify the controlled state as a category that can be removed by purification, there is no description of the part in the skill, so Yakumo doesn't dare to gamble. It is safer to hold a bottle of awakening secret medicine.
By the way, when Yakumo's magic ball fell on the obedience scale, it did not burn like a flame, but was steadily contained in the basket of the scale, looking like a glass of milk.
"Hmm? Is this also magic?" Aura also discovered the abnormality of the Yakumo magic group. This was the first time she had seen this situation. She had never seen such magic before.
"It seems like a lot." Yakumo glanced at his MP limit, which was already more than 30,000. His MP value increased more and more in the later stages, which was probably the effect of the three magic power increases.
His current magic power is almost 4. If he can reach level 200 or the revised level 250, is it possible to reach the legendary MP cap?
"Interesting, is it because your magic power is unique that you can release so much magic?" Aura placed the obedience scale in front of herself and carefully observed the ball representing Yakumo's magic power.
The scale was in a strange state of balance at this moment, and it was just shaking constantly, as if it was trying to determine which side was heavier.
At this moment, Fulilian and the others had already killed their enemies and surrounded them. The remaining two beheading officers fell to Aura's side and guarded Aura's side.
"Lord Aula, should we retreat temporarily?" one of the beheading officers asked while being on guard.
"It doesn't matter. Humans are always unable to kill their companions." Aura was not worried at all: "As long as we control one of them, we can greatly restrain their attacks."
"As long as we control two of them, they will lose their composure and almost collapse. Judging from their performance, this group of people should attach great importance to these magicians, so as long as we control him, we can immediately contain them."
"As expected of Lord Aura." The beheading officer complimented: "But why would humans do this?"
"Who knows? Anyway, as long as it is beneficial to our battle, isn't that enough? As for why they do this, who cares? Anyway, I don't care. It's obvious that we can just kill them without mercy."
Aura didn't care about the concept of companions. It didn't make any sense anyway, right? For the demons, there was no concept of companions at all. If they got in the way, they could just kill them. It was simple and efficient.
"Lord Aura, is this time... a little long?" After a while, the balance was still in
A strange state of balance. Previously, it only took two or three seconds to determine the advantage and disadvantage, but this time it took so long.
"It seems that my feeling was right. This human is indeed quite special." At this point, Aura still didn't think she would lose. It was just that Yakumo had a few more strange points.
Instead, it was Fulilian who seemed to sense something was wrong. She was very curious about the liquid magic ball on the obedience scale. She had discussed the issue of magic compression with Yakumo before, and Yakumo had mentioned the liquidation of magic.
Because she couldn't imagine what it was like, Fulilian's progress in this area had been slow. But now, she finally saw what the so-called liquid magic looked like.
"Yeah, it does look like liquid, and it looks a lot like milk. I guess even Celia has never seen such a magical state before?" Fulilian looked at her own magical posture: "I really want to see her expression when she does that."
"Strange, is the obedience scale broken?" Gradually, Aura also felt something was wrong. No matter how special it was, it wouldn't make the obedience scale react so slowly, right?
"It seems like I don't have to worry anymore." Yakumo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "No matter what, it's good not to have to use my backhand. This way, my trump card won't be revealed, and I can still trick others."
Suddenly, something seemed to have untied Yakumo's body. That was because the characteristics of the obedience scale temporarily eliminated the restrictions on Yakumo's own release of magic power.
The magic power of everyone in this world is the energy that rises up around them. As for Yakumo, it is like a fountain, with magic power gushing out from the top of his head, falling to the ground, and then returning to his body.
It still doesn't look huge, but it is completely different from the loose magical feeling of everyone else. Just by looking at it, you can understand the heaviness of that magic.
It was at this moment that the part of the Scale of Obedience that carried Yakumo's magic power suddenly sank. If it weren't for the support of the Scale of Obedience, Aura's end might have even risen directly to the top.
"Aura, indeed, you are a demon who has lived for nearly five hundred years. Your magic power must be enormous, right? But the one standing in front of you is a wizard who is almost level 120, an adventurer who officially uses cheats."
"Kill the two demons next to you." Yakumo ordered.
"What... no... how could I..." Aura's body resisted, but the resistance was getting weaker and weaker. Before the two beheading officers could react, Aura pierced their chests.
Not only that, Aura showed no mercy. After piercing the beheading official's heart, Aura even stabbed him horizontally, completely destroying the beheading official's chance of survival.
"You will never be able to disobey my orders, Aura. You cannot study the magic to dispel the obedience magic, nor can you receive any information related to dispelling the obedience magic." Yakumo gave several orders in succession.
"Finally, express your submission to me, Aura." Yakumo twisted his mouth and almost made a Nike logo.
"You bastard!" Aura was trembling all over. She was trying to resist the effects of the scales and magic. But all these resistances were in vain. She still walked to Yakumo step by step.
Then, she knelt on one knee in front of Yakumo and lowered her head to him to express her submission.
"As punishment, I will break your horns." Yakumo's words made Aura look ashen.
Chapter 5: Can it be studied? (31/)
Guillotine Aura was defeated. This news spread quickly around the borders of the northern and central countries. This was the first time that humans had successfully conquered the Seven Collapse Sages after the Southern Hero. This achievement must not be buried.
"Thank you, heroes." The city lord sincerely thanked Yakumo and the others, "You saved the city from Aura the Guillotine. The whole city will hold a grand celebration tonight, I hope you don't miss it."
"Also, I will not break my promise of reward." The city lord said, and arranged for people to bring gold and silver treasures. This was a generous bounty, and Yakumo and others had only seen more wealth than this when they explored the first maze.
The city lord generously provided fifty gold coins and a number of silver coins. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the most generous commission reward ever received. According to the team's practice, Yakumo would keep the money first, and then give everyone private money.
Unlike when they left, the team had one more member when they returned, that was Aura. She was hit by the backlash of the obedience balance and now she could not disobey Yakumo's orders and could only follow Yakumo.
Even when Yakumo said he would break her horns, she tried to resist, but in the end she still had to cut off her most proud horns with her own hands. The roots of the horns were covered by her hair, and from the outside, she could no longer be recognized as a demon.
After Aura was attacked, Yakumo lifted Aura's hair and took a look. He vaguely remembered that a funny picture uploader he followed in the dynamic area had posted a picture titled The Importance of Hairstyle.
It was said that Aura's hair was pulled back, and underneath the hair was a round face. However, Yakumo lifted Aura's hair and saw that it was not a round face, which made him a little disappointed.
11801702-100397864-111501450.jpg" alt='On the importance of hairstyle'>
"What are you expecting? Hey..." Furlian was speechless at Yakumo's imagination. Think about it, this is impossible. Is there really someone with such a wide face?
"Why else would you cover so much of your face?" Yakumo thought, would it be more interesting to give Aura a shaved head? "By the way, after a demon's hair is cut, will it grow back?"
"I don't know, it seems like an interesting research topic, why don't we give it a try?" Fulilian's curiosity was also aroused: "Also, it wouldn't be a big deal to study other magics of the demon clan, right?"
Then Yakumo shaved Aura's head into a baby's style.
"Pfft... it looks like a mushroom." Yakumo couldn't help laughing after he finished cutting. Not to mention him, even Xin Meier couldn't help laughing. Xin Meier should have received professional training and shouldn't laugh no matter how funny it was.
"Really... I'm a little confused..." Aize stroked his beard. He was probably the only one who didn't laugh among all the people present. He really deserved to be called the reliable backup Aize.
"This hairstyle suits you very well, Aura." There was an irrepressible smile in Fulilian's voice.
"After I started my journey, I never thought that I would see such a scene one day." Xin Meier rubbed his stomach which hurt from laughing. "This journey has given us more things to talk about in the future."
"But, Yakumo." Xin Meier restrained his smile and his expression became much more serious: "Regarding the obedience magic, I want to ask you a favor. I sincerely hope that magic like obedience magic will never appear in this world again."
This kind of magic is too dangerous, and it is easy for countries to use it for war. Even if a country does not get it, it will be troublesome if it falls into the hands of some people with bad intentions.
"I understand. This magic stops with me and will not be passed on to others. The same goes for Fulilian. I will only give you the magic that I research later to dispel obedience magic. I also hope that you will not continue researching it."
"Hey...but..." Fulilian couldn't finish her words. Not only Xinmeier, but also Haita, who was always smiling, showed a serious expression. In the end, Fulilian had to agree.
Seeing that Fulilian agreed, everyone's expressions relaxed and they started to laugh again. Yakumo's statement that magic would stop here was not nonsense. He had already sold the obedience balance to the system store, and it was quite valuable.
The reason why he dared to sell it so boldly was because Aura's status had been updated. Now in the information bar, he had become Yakumo's pet. Yes, Aura's position had become a pet, and he was bound by the system.
In MapleStory, double-clicking a character will pop up basic information about the character. If the player has a pet, it will be displayed below the character information. Yakumo has also confirmed this.
Moreover, Yakumo can also put Aura into a special column in his backpack, just like a pet purchased in the mall.
The binding of the system is much safer than obeying the scales. With the system as a guarantee, Yakumo does not need to obey the scales. If Aura dies in the future, Yakumo may be able to buy a resurrection potion from the mall to revive Aura.
But whether he will be resurrected or not depends on Aura's performance.
"Aura, hand." Yakumo said to Aura. Although Aura still had a disgusted expression on his face, his body was very honest and he obediently stretched out his right hand.
"Yoshi, Yoshi, you're so good." Yakumo didn't hold Aura's hand, but touched Aura's head, just like coaxing a puppy.
"No, I can't bear to watch this anymore..." Xin Meier covered his face. Before this, he never dared to think that Aura, one of the top demons and the wisest of the Seventh Bengyue Fe Group, would be teased like a puppy.
"Well, it's not bad. Anyway, no matter how we treat Aura's crimes, it's not excessive. Yakumo didn't do anything excessive, right? Besides, I'm also curious about what other magic Aura can do."
Compared to these trivial matters, what Fulilian cares most about is the magic that Aura knows.
"Hmm... who is the tailor of your demon tribe? I'm curious about who makes the clothes for the demon tribe. It can't be that humans volunteer to help, right? And they even specially make a small opening at the belly button."
Yakumo squatted down and poked Aura's belly button: "You demons know how to play tricks in places like this? If so, I really want to visit them."
"This is not suitable for children!!" Haita blushed and grabbed Yakumo's shoulders and dragged him back: "No matter what, you can't do such a shameful thing in broad daylight!"
"What are you talking about, Haita? It's already evening and the party will start soon." Yakumo looked out the window. The lively sounds had not stopped since just now.
Chapter 6 Celebration (31/)
"My dear hero! Come and have a taste. My barbecue is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue!"
"My dear hero! This is freshly squeezed juice. Try it quickly. It's very sweet!"
"My dear hero..."
"My dear hero..."
Simmel et al.
As soon as they stepped onto the street, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the city residents. Everyone was calling them "brave hero", not just "Xin Meier". These simple villagers simply called all members of the team "brave heroes".
No one cares about the difference between real heroes, magicians, and monks. Anyway, the brave man saved their city, so everyone in this team is a brave man. Isn't this a very reasonable thing?
Originally, Xin Meier and the others were embarrassed to take it for free and wanted to pay for it, but these citizens and shop owners refused to take any money and instead piled more money on them.
"This is good, isn't it? It's only for tonight, so it's necessary to accept everyone's gratitude. After all, we saved their city, so accepting their gratitude is the right thing to do, isn't it?"
"Hmm... I guess I'll have to tell you the story of Zigong redeeming the cow later." Yakumo took a bite of the skewer, and the thick sauce filled his mouth. The chef of this restaurant is definitely a good barbecue expert, and the sauce is especially delicious.
"Oh! Boss, your barbecue is so delicious!" Yakumo did not hesitate to praise: "I have come all the way from the Central Kingdoms, and I have never eaten a better barbecue skewers than yours!"
"Haha, Master Hero has a good eye. This is our family's secret recipe. It is definitely more delicious than the one in the imperial capital!" The boss laughed and stuffed several more skewers of yakiniku to Yakumo: "If it's not enough, there are more. I will definitely have enough today!"
"Then I won't be polite!" Yakumo took the wine glass handed to him. The wine glass contained a relatively low-proof fruit wine. He quickly became friends with the people around him and even started chatting with several of them.
As for Aura? He left her in the room to warm the bed, and thoughtfully left her a pet snack from the system store, as if he really intended to keep Aura as a pet.
Haita always welcomes everyone to such a celebratory occasion. Especially since he can drink for free, what else can he be dissatisfied with? He immediately found someone to drink with.
What else is there to say? Let's eat! Aize served a plate of huge hamburger meat. He has always had a special liking for this kind of big meat patty. If there is something worth celebrating, he will cook it himself.
In comparison, Xin Meir and Fulilian were much more quiet while eating, and Fulilian even went to read a book halfway through her meal.
Yakumo ate two more skewers of BBQ, said goodbye to the boss, and walked to the square. There were many stores holding celebrations, not only this BBQ restaurant, but also pubs, snack shops, and even Yakumo saw a chef from a restaurant cooking in the square.
"Burp... so much, even I can't eat anymore." Yakumo rubbed his stomach. It was really a hearty banquet. The city lord came out in the middle to show his face, said a few words of blessing, and then left.
The party lasted until 3 a.m., and Yakumo was almost able to see the sun at 4 a.m. Because of the celebration, the team stayed up all night to rest in the city for another three days and bought a lot of supplies.
This time, if the stores said they would not charge money, Yakumo would not agree. Banquets are banquets, and daily life is daily life, so we have to stick to this. In addition, there is one more mouth in the team, so we have to prepare more ingredients.
I can't always prepare pet snacks for Aura, right? That stuff costs hundreds of adventure coins in the system store, which is equivalent to one silver coin. Yakumo is not rich enough to do that.
"What a boring bunch of people." Although Aura had no interest in attending the party, she was somewhat unhappy about the fact that she was alone in the room warming the bed and then was arranged to sleep on the other side.
As one of the Seven Sages, one of the strongest demons under the Demon King, when had she ever been ordered around like this? The most annoying thing was that she couldn't resist, and the spell on her body didn't feel like obeying magic at all.
"Well, let's summarize what we have learned. According to the measurement of the obedience scale, my magic power is indeed greater than that of Aura when she was about 500 years old. It seems that Aura has wasted 500 years."
