Birth of the Demonic Sword

At first, Noah's Demonic Deductions were nothing more than basic ideas. Bloodthirsty thoughts accumulated in his mind and took the shape of outlines or approaches.

Proper ideas slowly began to form as the small army continued to fly through the Immortal Lands. Noah had an advantage in that project. He had already modified the Demonic Form spell. That diagram couldn't hide much from him anymore.

The Demonic Deduction technique soon put Noah on an unexpected path. The most feasible approach saw him transforming the spell into a peculiar living being.

His experience in the creation of Blood Companions and his knowledge of the magical beasts' field made Noah the perfect expert for the task. The Demonic Form also had high destructive capabilities. It turned out to be relatively easy to create a general outline for his new weapon.

Noah had already treated the Demonic Form spell as a living being. Still, his previous project had only modified its nature. Now, he needed to transform those black roots into something far more powerful.

Since it was a spell, the Demonic Form fed on his darkness and mental energy. Its diagram was even unique since its power depended on the Kesier runes.

Noah didn't have the time to remove that requirement from the spell. He wished to separate the ability from those rare materials completely, but his situation didn't allow him to spend entire years rebuilding the diagram.

'To think that this turned out to be useful,' Noah thought when his focus moved on the insides of the separate space.

The piece of fur depicting the Seventh Kesier rune was there. Noah lacked valuable materials, but it seemed that his decision to keep that item had granted him a chance to survive.

As his deductions continued, a plan also took form. His situation didn't allow him to gather energy, but he had a quasi-rank 8 inscribed item around him. Its invisible walls had to contain an immense amount of power. That could become the fuel required for his breakthroughs.

The experts around Noah could guess that he was planning something, but they couldn't even imagine how incredible his ideas were. Noah managed to keep most of the tests inside his mind and separate space, so his wardens never understood what he was up to.

Once Noah made sure that his approach could work, he began experimenting on the black roots entangled on the Kesier runes. He desired to transform that diagram into something more interactive. He wanted to give it a destructive will.

Noah slowly separated the various roots from the Kesier runes. He had to create the dark world inside his mind to make sure that the spell didn't suffer any damage in the process. The workshop also helped in perfecting that procedure.

Noah felt like a surgeon operating on a diagram. The dark world allowed him to create fake Kesier runes that could keep the spell temporarily alive. Meanwhile, the workshop modified its structure, condensing it and improving its innate abilities.

Once Noah felt satisfied with the modifications, he approached the most challenging part of the procedure. He could still put back the spell on the Kesier runes now, but the following steps could lead to irreversible damages.

It was time to give the diagram a will. Noah had reached the point when he had to transform the spell into a living being.

Noah had no wills available. He couldn't replicate what he had done with Snore, and he couldn't even make a copy of his personality since that could lead to many problems.

Still, his ambition could improve anything in the world. Stones would become metal under his influence, and something similar could happen to the Demonic Form.

Noah could even force his ambition to focus on his spell. He severed pieces of his ethereal figure, filled them with his law, and turned them into a shining dark powder.

The process didn't stop there. Noah had to maximize his creation's destructiveness, so he relied on his bloodlust to gather all the violent memories connected to the Demonic Form.

The number of those memories was immense. Noah had relied on the Demonic Form since his escape from the Balvan Mansion. Almost all his battles featured that ability.

After Noah condensed those violent thoughts, he fused them with the dark ethereal dust. A strange substance came out of that process, but he didn't waste time analyzing it. The destructive force that it radiated was enough to tell him that it would suit the spell.

Through the workshop, Noah fused the dark roots with that dark-red substance. The spell condensed even more, and it soon transformed into a minute stem covered in spikes.

The stem slowly grew. That improvement didn't only involve its size. The spell had transformed into a unique plant that was slowly giving birth to a strange flower.

An intense pressure filled Noah's mind when the flower came out of the minute stem. The plant had black petals and a black pistil. It was so dark that even his mental waves couldn't wholly grasp its form.

Moreover, his mental energy struggled to come near the plant. They would crumble whenever they gathered around its structure. A destructive aura surrounded the whole spell.

The destructive aura wasn't only a natural consequence of the new structure. The plant seemed to desire those effects. It wanted to corrode anything in its range.

That intense desire eventually started to affect the dark world. Noah saw his dark matter crumbling under the destructive properties of the spell's aura. It even reached the point when he couldn't contain it in that safe environment anymore.

Noah didn't care about the damage that his mind could suffer if that spell went wild. His main concern was the well-being of the plant. In its current form, the plant lacked any foundation. It didn't have the Kesier runes.

'Can't Night do this?' The Demonic Sword asked when Noah gave the order.

The living blade didn't like what Noah had asked it to do, but he didn't have time to discuss. His hand shot inside the separate space and grabbed the Demonic Sword, which condensed its body until it became nothing more than a minute knife.

'Blood for the mental link,' Noah thought as he pierced his palm.

'A suitable terrain where the plan can grow,' Noah thought as his mental energy flowed inside the separate space and covered the Seventh Kesier rune.

'The modified spell which has yet to take its first breath,' Noah thought as his dark matter transported the plant from his mind to his separate space.

Noah used the Demonic Sword to gather his blood and cut away a piece of his skin. He then covered the Kesier rune with those materials before placing the dark world around it.

The workshop activated and prepared the fusion between the piece of fur and the plant. The spell instinctively attached itself to the rune, and roots began to grow from its base.

The destructive aura surrounding the plant intensified, and a shrill noise spread through the separate space after the fusion ended. The spell had spoken for the first time, and Noah could hear its voice inside his head.

'Welcome to the world, my creature of pure destruction,' Noah said in his mind, but a voice coming from the outside world suddenly made him focus on his surroundings.

"We have arrived," Miss Nine said as an immense palace appeared in the distance.
