Magic • Earth: Earthquake Stomp]

[ Elemental Infusion (Active Skill)

Description: Elemental Infusion imbues the caster's weapon with the raw power of elements like fire, ice, lightning, etc., enhancing its effectiveness in combat. The caster can choose from various elements, each providing unique benefits and effects. The infusion lasts for 30-60 seconds, allowing for the exploitation of elemental advantages during combat.

Cooldown Time: Around 45-90 seconds, can be shortened with a significant amount of mana expenditure. ]

[ Unique Magic: Spirit Guardians (Active Skill)

Description: Spirit Guardians call forth protective spirits from the ethereal plane to safeguard the caster. These guardians are ethereal beings that hover around the caster, attacking foes and shielding them from harm. The more mana invested during summoning, the more powerful and intelligent the guardians will be.

There is no fixed guardian; each summoning depends on the amount of mana and the caster's need. Once the caster stops supplying mana or is injured too heavily, the guardian returns to the ethereal plane.

Cooldown Time: None.]

[ Magic • Earth: Earthquake Stomp (Active Skill)

Description: Earthquake Stomp is a powerful earth-based skill that channels the strength of the planet into a devastating shockwave. The caster slams its foot or weapon into the ground, causing a localized earthquake that radiates outward from the point of impact (with the caster being the centre). The more mana used, the greater the impact.

Additionally, the caster can control the area of effect to maximize efficiency and minimize damage to the surroundings.

Cooldown Time: One day after each use.

"Well... That's it? Although this guy's skills are no doubt powerful beyond words, with a hume's pitiful amount of mana, what can he do with them? This is also proven by his level, which is not worth mentioning at all compared to his age."

"Let's not talk about Elemental Infusion—it can still be used perfectly. But Unique Magic skill? That is literally a bottomless hole, and I wouldn't be surprised if despite emptying all his mana he could hardly summon a spirit higher level than his own, which also won't accompany him for more than a few minutes at most before vanishing."

"As for the last one, it would be a miracle if even a child could get hurt with this skill. After all, Augusta Kingdom's geographical conditions are very stable, and there are almost no cases of any natural earthquakes. So clearly, if he wanted to create one with mana, he would have to put a lot of mana into it, but the problem is that he doesn't have that much, making it another useless skill.

And even if he reduces the area effect to the maximum, he can only shake the ground slightly, which is no better than asking others to laugh at him than getting afraid."

"Sigh, forget it... It's not like I haven't encountered this level of a joke happening with hume before. No wonder those fake demons can rampage in broad daylight and we humes can't do anything. It's like having the world's greatest weapon but not enough ammunition to use it. Thankfully, I didn't end up like everyone else. But no matter, I was really expecting something more from him.

I mean, this guy dared to kill an unknown witch or whatever that old hag was, despite knowing nothing about her powers or having any means to protect himself. I thought he would give me a tough challenge, like when I go near him, he would open his creepy white eyes and stare at me with a wide, scary smile, by the way, why is there are question marks behind is information..."

"..."

"Huh? Did I just... F*ck!"

Myne, who was disappointedly talking to himself after casually stealing Viscount William's skills while staring at the sleeping figure shrouded in blankets with only his head visible, and not-so-peaceful expression, suddenly saw his face and subconsciously added its description to his complaint as well. However, the next moment he realized the truth and hurriedly backed up in fright.

"Kekekeke!"

As if grabbed by an invisible force, William rose from his bed in an unnatural, ninety-degree position, without using his hands or bending his body. It was as if someone had pulled him up. He began to laugh, a creepy, high-pitched sound more befitting an old woman than a man.

"Now it felt more normal," Myne, who had seen far more horrific things than an old man laughing in a creepy old woman's voice with white eyes, didn't feel much fear. He was even in the mood to comment. However, his steps didn't stop, and he was still backing off, with no intention of getting close to "him" or "her."

"@&$^#&&@ $%#%@& *%@%#^@^"

"Huh? Did my ears get damaged, or can I really not understand whatever he was talking about?" Myne muttered, cleaning his ears while trying to decipher the weird sounds that by no means resembled words. Just then, The Fate Ring on his finger, a wedding ring given to him by Gal, shone with a vibrant purple light that only he could see.

The next moment, William's strange sounds transformed into words Myne could understand.

"A Human! Finally, after so many days, another one comes to deliver me his soul! After eating him, I'll have enough power to break this damn seal on me and be free! Kekekeke!" William or whatever thing inside him spoke but this time his voice was no longer of an old hag, but normal voice of a middle age.

"Huh? You're a demon from the hell dimension?" Myne instantly understood his opponent's identity thanks to the fate ring, which is not difficult to guess after all, its source was clear, and couldn't help but ask. Surprisingly, the other party also understood his words. The ring Gal gave him seemed to have completely f*cked up the language barrier between them.

"What? Human, how do you know my identity and where I come from? And seven bloody hells, how the f*ck do you know my language?

Isn't this a low-level world with no connection to other planes?" The demon inside William's body, seeing Myne recognize him and even speak his language, treated him as if a long-lost friend from afar, dumbfounded by this bizarre change in event, and bombarded him with questions.

"Well, I have a relative in your dimension," Myne began a crazy idea forming in his mind. "And when I went to meet her a few weeks ago, I learned this language from her. But why are you here, and how did you end up in this old guy's body?

Also, by looking at your condition, it doesn't seem like you're having a good time." He instantly put on a friendly smile and asked with concern, as if truly meeting a long-lost friend.

The demon, although sensing something off about Myne, felt the need to vent his inner frustrations after being tortured by William for days. Seeing someone familiar in this strange place who could at least understand his language, didn't think much about it. He sat down on the bed and began to tell his sad story.

Well, it turns out that after William killed that old hag, it wasn't her. She seemed to have expected something like that. So, that day, she replaced herself with someone else whose appearance she altered with her skills. When they got away, the old hag, furious and determined to get revenge.

And not surprisingly she was already prepared for this as well, and had stolen William's and his daughter's hair the day they met.

Then, she performed some kind of old, dark ritual, summoning a demon twice. The first time, she used all her previous sacrifices to summon a very powerful but crazy demon and send it after William's daughter.

Then second time, because she still wanted William's child, she summoned a weak demon so he could obey her order and not try to plan with her, after all, most of the demons' reputations were not good in the market.

The second demon was this poor guy before Myne, who was tasked to torture William to the point where he'd finally give in, come to the old hag, and beg her to let him keep his child. At first, everything was easy, and he did his job well. But then, who knows where William found an ancient magic scroll, he sealed the demon within himself, and he couldn't do anything except speak in his mind.

The poor demon had to use a lot of tricks to weaken this sealing magic, almost using up all my soul strength, while his other partner was having time of his life. Now, he urgently needs someone's soul to replenish his power. But because of his weak state, he can only occupy William's body while he's sleeping.

Unfortunately, the problem is that William seems to know about it as well, and never lets anyone be with him when he sleeps, making his situation even more serious.
