My Magical System - Chapter 232

Eman didn’t know whether he would laugh or cry. It seemed like Sky and Dark Priest were into something shady.

No need to question who was the instigator. Only one person fits the requirements. And that person was the person beside him!

“Are you the one who presented that thing to the elder, Little Sky?”

Well, the drawing in her hand was enough proof of it.

“Fufu,” she giggled with a proud face. “What do you think, my lord? Aren’t those things cool? The Dark Priest is cool too for inventing those creatures, right?” She said enthusiastically while resting both her hands on her waist and puffing her chest.

“…..”

He remained silent as he had no idea how to answer her. Regardless, those creatures will cause the humans outside his domain to wet their pants if they caught a glimpse of them. Look, their bodies are identical to worms. However, instead of wriggling soft skin, they were stiff and tough. The outer shell looks as hard as an alloy based on his observations.

Below them, he noticed countless tiny legs. Moreover, they had bucket-like massive arms that were identical to the excavator machine. They looked so intimidating!

But the most striking thing about them was that he felt magical energy generating within their bodies. Weirdly, that magical energy felt familiar to him. But he could not remember where he felt it before.

“My lord, they’re amazing right?!” Since Eman did not answer, Sky was pestering him.

“Ahaha… a-amazing…..”

Although he said it, his face was that of a person who was troubled.

Now, he was wondering if it was fine to let Sky meet his sister. Who knows what might be this little fella will be teaching to Eina.

While Eman was mulling, some shadows came out of the hallway in the middle.

“Eh?!!”

“Visitors?!”

“Ahh! It’s…”

Upon confirming the identities of the visitors, they immediately turned stiff and rushed over.

“M-My lord and Lady Sky!”

“My lord!”

“My lord!”

Eman saw the three human-face creatures rushing in his direction. They bowed respectfully upon arriving in front of him.

“M-My lord, are you looking for the elder? He’s inside,” said the human face creature with the body of a wolf in a quivering voice.

“I see. Okay,” he returned to his calm tone.

Eman and Little Sky proceeded towards the Elder’s workroom. However, halfway down the hallway, “My lord!” They were greeted by the elder himself. Looking at his slightly panting conditions, he must be rushing here.

“My lord, I know it! I sensed My lord’s presence, that’s why I came here hastily.”

Looks like he was right. “I see.”

“Thanks for gracing this humble abode with your presence, my lord,” the elder said as he bowed respectfully.

He just nodded with an exasperated sigh.

The Elder Dark Priest brought them into his workroom. Eman noticed the cheerful aura around the Dark Priest when they arrived at the place.

“Did something good happen?” Asked Eman curiously.

“Kuku. Yes, my lord. I think I will have a breakthrough with the task you assigned to me,” said the Dark Priest.

After hearing it, he remembered he gave the Dark Priest a task about an independent entrance to enter his domain without the need of his presence.

Eman’s face turned serious immediately, “Oh, really?” Was his reply to the elder.

Little Sky was silently glancing at them. “My lord, what is it?” She asked curiously.

He rested his hand on her head. “A dimensional gate, Little Sky.”

Sky repeated, “Dimensional gate?”

“Yeah. By the way, that’s good news,” Eman said as he threw back his gaze at the elder.

“Yes. However, there is something that I’m lacking. By the way, please come here, my lord,” the elder urged them to follow him.

In the middle of the room, he noticed a pedestal. On top of that pedestal was a familiar object. At the moment, it was giving off pulsing purple glimmers. It looks like it was absorbing the lights that were trailing around the pedestal surface.

“Purple crystal…?” He muttered. The memories of that time when Mina suddenly became perverted returned in his mind. This crystal was dangerous to humans, especially to female humans.

“Yes, my lord. It is the purple crystal that my lord gathered on that cliff. I learned that this thing could generate magical energy on its own.”

Right. He also noticed it at that time. It was also the reason he decided to store them in his domain.

“Uhm, my lord, did you notice those excavating machines at the entrance?” The Elder Dark Priest suddenly asked him.

What machines? Those are monsters!

He wanted to complain, but Eman chose to remain silent. He replied to the elder. “Yes.” Then, he asked, “What of it?”

“Those creatures were animated using the purple crystals. Did you notice the flowing energy on it, my lord?”

After saying it, Eman remembered the familiar energy he sensed from those monsters. Right. No wonder he felt familiar with the energies generating within their bodies a while ago.

He finally understood why. The reason for it was the purple crystal! It was truly the same magical energy he felt from that crystal.

“Yeah. I noticed it. So it’s from the purple crystal, huh. That’s surprising.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The elder then explained to him how he discovered it. Although discovering the use of it was just a pure coincidence, he succeeded somehow in showing the result of his first attempt of using it as the catalyst to animate those machines.

Based on what he heard from his explanations, it seemed like he was using the Purple Crystal as a substitute for the fuel. Then, he used the pedestal which is made of special metal to send automatic commands to the monster machines.

Maybe it functioned like wires. Hmm… uhm, no, it’s more like a wireless connection.

So, something like….. Bluetooth connections?! Or something like that.

He thought after a few seconds of pondering. The pedestal acted like a mini-tower. And to activate that mini-tower, it also needed a catalyst. That’s the reason why another Purple Crystal was on top of it.

He could not help but be amazed. But suddenly, he noticed the kid beside him showing a wide grin and a proud face.

This little fella was surely part of it, he thought secretly upon seeing her grinning face.

Just what kind of experiments these two were trying to make? He could not help but wonder.

“I see. Good Job on that. By the way, about that one, I asked you?”
