[A night passed, and your magic circuits have surpassed those of ordinary Maguss after continuous depletion and replenishment of your magical power.] [But you sadly discovered that, despite your efforts to drive this big carriage, you, who have not yet fully matured, ultimately became the one left with tire marks.] [In addition, you noticed a subtle change in the recent magic lessons.
Koyanskaya, being a Beast, possesses nearly infinite stamina, and she has recently experienced the pleasure of indulgence, even actively sinking into this desire.] [But you knew you couldn’t keep falling into depravity; you needed to balance work and rest.
So, besides purifying the resentment every day, you began using the daytime to practice magic.] [During this time, you occasionally tentatively asked Koyanskaya for her opinion on humans, but whenever you brought up the topic, she always avoided it in various roundabout ways.
She didn’t want to disappoint you, but she also never forgot her purpose as a Beast—to evolve into a complete Beast and then trample all humans underfoot.] [Furthermore, you had several more encounters with the Beast of Cherishment within just half a month.
Whenever you performed the’Synchronization’ of Empathy Magecraft for the resentment on this land, she was always watching you from the side.] [Gradually, her opinion of you seemed to change for the better.
Occasionally, she would also talk to you about her views on humans and her own plans.] The periphery of the Tunguska Region was a stretch of permafrost.
When the wind blew, it carried the chill from the distant snow mountains, making the area feel somewhat desolate.
On the permafrost, the Golden-haired Woman, clad in a black bodysuit, was sitting cross-legged on a rock, observing the youth with her usual indifferent expression.
During this period, Issei met with the Beast of Cherishment every few days to provide her with ‘pure energy.’ Once or twice would be fine…
but with such frequent contact, it was impossible for that woman not to notice, right?
Realizing this, the Beast of Cherishment finally couldn’t help but ask.
“…Has she perhaps not noticed your contact with me yet?” “She knew long ago,” Issei answered frankly.
“If that’s the case, why didn’t she—” “Because she knows that the one who will ultimately evolve into a complete Beast will definitely be her,” Issei stated a cruel fact with complete candor.
With his help, Koyanskaya’s speed in acquiring power would undoubtedly far surpass that of the Beast of Cherishment.
The Beast of Cherishment frowned slightly and said coldly, “You really don’t know how to talk, do you?
Aren’t humans supposed to be glib and cunning?” “Forget it.
Let’s proceed with today’s transaction first.” [Since the last meeting with the Beast of Cherishment, she agreed to acknowledge your existence as a human.
Therefore, even the Beast of Cherishment, who denies human civilization, is able to absorb the pure energy you purify.] [However, she was unwilling to be just the receiver, so after every session, she would always give you some instruction.] [It’s just that her method of instruction was significantly more savage and brutal compared to Koyanskaya’s…] The low growls of beasts sounded in his ears.
Several massive Demonic Beasts surrounded the youth; their claws were exceptionally sharp, seemingly capable of tearing through steel, while he only held a dagger whose edge was already chipped.
His breathing burned due to lack of oxygen, and the wounds on his body brought agonizing pain with every movement.
“That’s truly unsightly.” Above the cliff, the Golden-haired Woman looked down at the youth, her voice cold and crisp.
“Fear, pain…
these shackles that you humans place upon yourselves make you instinctively afraid of injury.
But to survive in a place like this, you must either abandon them, or…
become a puddle of flesh here.” “Remember, don’t think about what happens if you get hurt.
You only need to think about two things…
Survive, and then counterattack!” Listening to the cold voice near his ear, Issei took deep breaths, quickly closed his eyes, and began to listen carefully.
Thump, thump…
He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, chaotic due to fear, but within that chaos, he seemed to hear another sound…
that was the desire to survive, and the craving to counterattack amidst constant pressure.
[Primal Calamity: A] A special interface quietly appeared in his field of vision.
[Under the brutal tutelage of the ‘Beast’ mentor, what was ultimately awakened was the potential deep within your body.] [You are the only ‘human’ acknowledged by this land.
You also possess Conceptual Dominion over the Demonic Beasts she controls, which are condensed from resentment.
Under this special authority, you can command them, or make them transform into pure energy to strengthen yourself.] Issei acted almost without hesitation.
Just as the Demonic Beast’s claws were about to strike, [Primal Calamity] was activated!
The Demonic Beasts that had been surrounding him froze in mid-air in an unbelievable manner, eventually shattering like fireworks, dissipating into Light Particles.
Issei slowly exhaled.
Although the system had previously reminded him that he was also the ‘master’ of this land, he did not know exactly what he could do as the ‘master.’ But now…
he knew completely.
Although her training method was much more brutal than Koyanskaya’s, the effect seemed equally remarkable.
Thinking this, the Black-haired Youth raised his head and looked toward the Koyanskaya of Darkness high up on the cliff.
Her golden hair gently fluttered in the wind, and her Light Golden Beautiful Eyes stared intently at him, seemingly in a daze.
Her black battle suit, full of bio-texture, tightly wrapped around her sexy and alluring figure.
The nine massive tails behind her, seemingly obscuring the sky and sun, swayed slowly, symbolizing her most primal power.
It must be admitted that, although fundamentally the same Beast as Koyanskaya, their styles were completely opposite.
Koyanskaya gave the impression of cunning and playfulness, full of the ease and desire for control found in a cat playing with a mouse…
whereas the woman before him immediately generated a sense of cold, unfeeling oppression.
Soon, Issei rode a Pegasus to her side, only to find her still staring intently at him, looking somewhat distracted.
“What’s wrong?
Why have you been staring at me like that since just now?” “Conceptual Attribute…” the Beast of Cherishment murmured softly.
“I didn’t expect your magical power attribute to be this…
That’s not a good thing.” “Conceptual?
What does that mean?” The Black-haired Youth asked, confused.
“Are there different ranks of magical power attributes?” According to Issei’s understanding, a Magus’s magical power attribute directly determines the type of magic they specialize in.
Usually, most Maguss specialize in ‘Earth, Water, Wind, Fire’…
with the addition of the extremely rare ‘Aether’ and ‘Imaginary Number’ attributes at most.
Hearing this, the Beast of Cherishment only said coldly, “Magical power attributes don’t have ranks, but your Conceptual Attribute is essentially’Synchronization’ and ‘Understanding,’ which then transforms your magic circuits into the magical power attribute of the synchronized target.” In other words, Issei’s magical power attribute was not fixed but changed according to the synchronized target.
During his time in the Tunguska Region, his magical power attribute had almost transformed to resemble that of the Beast of Cherishment.
If people outside were to realize this, Issei wouldn’t be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.
“So that’s how it is…
Well, I don’t think it matters much.”
