The underground palace was shaking violently, and rubble was falling down in a flurry.
The azure magic surged forth like a tide and dispersed like a gentle breeze, revealing a large pit two meters deep in the center of the underground palace. Noah stood at the bottom of the pit and flicked his wrist; the wooden flute lay quietly at his feet.
The magic flute that once claimed countless lives is now just an ordinary wooden flute with a peculiar shape.
Noah raised his foot and crushed the wooden flute that bore countless sins, while at the same time a notification that the prayer request had been completed rang in his mind.
[Local commission completed]
[Reward: Magical Legacy - [Wind's Destruction]]
[Client's comment: Thank you, anonymous newcomer. Please don't mind the little strength I have left.]
After receiving the reward, Noah felt his magic power suddenly increase, with a considerable amount of wind-attribute magic power appearing. In the past, the rewards for making requests were abilities or understanding magic, and this was the first time he had directly obtained power.
But wasn't the reward supposed to be the [Wind of Destruction] magic? How could I suddenly gain extra magic power?
Noah quickly understood.
It turns out that the [Exterminate Evil] magic is different from other magics; the way to learn this magic has long been lost.
However, a Demon Slayer can transfer all of their power to another mage, thus ensuring the continuation of the [Demon Slayer] magic.
The price to pay for this is that the transmitter will no longer be able to cast spells, losing all power in an instant, which will cause irreversible damage to their body.
If you're lucky, you'll become an ordinary person with a weak constitution, but in severe cases, it can be life-threatening or even lead to death.
Devil Slayers are a group of people who fight against demons with their lives.
However, not everyone is qualified to carry out [Exorcism] magic. The strict requirements for qualifications and magic power make it difficult for the Demon Slayers to find a barely acceptable successor.
Moreover, not every Devil Slayer has the opportunity to pass on their power; many Devil Slayer techniques have been buried in the river of time for various reasons.
More than 200 years ago, the Wind Slayer Demon Mage, D'Artagnan, sealed Lalaba with his life, carrying this regret.
Noah finally understood why there was a "magical inheritance" prefix in the reward section; the magic he had just acquired came from D'Artagnan's "inheritance".
With reverence, Noah closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power of [Wind's Annihilation of Evil].
...
"Eh~ that's it?"
Lucy and Happy peeked out from behind Natsu, but their strength was insufficient to see how Lala Bhai disappeared. They only saw Noah standing motionless in the same spot after the battle ended.
Natsu, having witnessed the battle clearly, said with some eagerness, "He was taken down in just two punches. This Cursed Demon doesn't seem as powerful as the rumors say. I could do it too."
Lucy and Happy both scoffed, thinking Natsu was bragging, but the guy was indeed always stubborn.
"No, Natsu wasn't bragging."
Erza spoke thoughtfully, "Lalabai's strength lies mostly in its terrifying spells. The [Spell Song] that can kill upon hearing it is a devastating threat to ordinary people, which is why there are so many terrible rumors about it."
"As long as we can find a way to stop the [Curse Song] in advance, or have enough magic power to withstand it, Lalabai is nothing to fear." By observing Noah's battle, Erza had a thorough analysis of the Curse-Slaying Demon.
"nonsense!"
Hearing his revered "messenger" being so harshly criticized, the Black Priest Daqiru suddenly burst forth with strength from who-knows-where, shouting, "That's a demon created by Lord Zeref! How could a mere human possibly..."
Mira swung her magical chains and grabbed the crazed Daziru tightly. She never expected that this black priest, who always thought of running away when in doubt, would have such a fanatical side.
What kind of magic does the Black Mage possess that allows him to still have such a large and ignorant following more than 400 years later?
Thinking of this, Mira suddenly had a wicked idea, "Since you don't believe that Lalabai has been destroyed, then I'll let you see 'it'."
The girl's playful and cute voice, however, was so cold that it made Daqilu shiver involuntarily.
He's not blind; he saw the demon being destroyed. He was just a little too excited in his expression of faith. Surely he shouldn't be sent down to meet that demon...
Just as Daqilu was wondering which way to kneel and beg for mercy wouldn't be too shameful, he saw Mila wave her hand, and a dark purple magic circle appeared behind her.
"Receive the Soul of Lalabai!"
"What?!"
To Daqilu's astonishment, the cold-blooded Satan vanished from the magic circle, replaced by an elegant young woman in a classic white dress.
Her white hair fell to her waist, and the hem of her plain silk skirt was ruffled by tiny magical currents. Mira gently touched the air with her finger, and an ancient bamboo flute appeared in her hand.
When Noah defeated Lalabai, Mira sensed the fragmented soul of the Cursed Demon and immediately used the [Receive] magic to subdue it. Naturally, [Curse Song] also became Mira's power.
The white-haired girl parted her lips slightly and played a note. The gentle flute music drifted through the dungeon, and Erza and the others seemed to be immersed in melodious celestial music, completely captivated.
"Wow!"
A scream brought the others back to their attention. Unlike the others, Daqilu felt the demonic sound piercing his ears and rolled on the ground in pain. The flute music was like a knife, severing his nerves one by one.
Mira only stopped playing when Daziru was tormented by the flute music until he fainted. She was able to control the power she had just gained. Mira was indeed very talented in being a "demon".
"So [Spell Song] can select a target? It seems I should take back what I said before. Lalabai does have some skill."
Noah strolled over leisurely. He had noticed the commotion at the underground palace passage long ago, but he was focused on comprehending his new power and hadn't come over to watch the show immediately.
Mira smiled and raised her bamboo flute to Noah. "Thanks to you, I got a bargain. Lalabai is a nice toy."
Mira's statement that "Lalabai's Soul" is a toy is not an exaggeration; she would not use dangerous [spells] on ordinary people.
In battles between mages, aside from clearing out mobs, Mira can usually defeat enemies by receiving a more powerful "Satan's Soul".
If even "Satan the Demon" can't handle the enemy, then using Lala Bhai's power won't have any effect.
Noah believes that the greatest benefit of the "Lalabai Soul" to Mira is that it has transformed her from someone who knew nothing about playing the flute to someone who is now a master, giving this former delinquent girl a touch of artistry.
I wonder if Mira can apply this skill to other instruments, like playing the flute...
