Chapter 40

Lin En opened his eyes.

Although Natsumi might file a noise complaint against him on LINE.

Ah, subconsciously I just...

Yotsuya Miko also remembered the setting of Mr. Evil Spirit, scratched her face awkwardly, and then said, "This Mr. Evil Spirit..."

She didn't quite understand the situation.

Why would the Occult Research Club... kidnap an evil spirit?

Her expression was a bit subtle.

If it were before yesterday, she would never have imagined this scene.

"This is a Grade 2 Curse."

Lin En explained, then said, "Use Spirit Devour on it, Miko."

"Ah... yes!"

Yotsuya Miko reacted.

So it was to test to what extent Spirit Devour could be used.

She took a deep breath, then raised her hand, aiming her palm at the bloated evil spirit, and whispered:

"Spirit Devour!"

Hum—

Her magic power was completely released.

Fluctuations began to occur on the evil spirit.

"aaaaa!!"

It seemed to sense a trace of danger, becoming restless, twisting its body frantically, trying to break free from the restraints.

But...

It seemed that was all it could do.

Lin En looked at Miko, who was starting to pant, and made a judgment in his heart.

Grade 2 Curse.

Although it could still produce some influence, for Miko now, it was clearly too strenuous.

And the Grade 2 Curse showed no tendency to turn into an Experience Pill.

"That's enough."

Lin En stopped Miko from continuing to release magic power, otherwise, she would end up like Utaha before, exhausted from consuming too much magic power.

Although he didn't mind relieving that negative state for his Familia member through magic replenishment.

"Phew—"

Yotsuya Miko stopped the output of magic power, looking at the unchanged Curse, and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"Sorry, Lord Lin En, my strength is too weak, I couldn't shake it at all."

Lin En comforted, "It's okay."

"Rather, this is the normal situation."

If there were really no restrictions, then if Lin En caught a Special Grade Curse for Yotsuya Miko to absorb, wouldn't her level skyrocket like a rocket.

Lin En walked to the evil spirit and patted it.

"Alright, you are useless now."

As his voice fell, the magic ropes tied to the evil spirit tightened instantly.

"Arghhhhhhh!!"

The evil spirit only had time to scream before it exploded with a bang!

What no one noticed was that after the evil spirit exploded, fine dust-like powder gathered towards Lin En.

Spirit Devour!

Only, unlike Yotsuya Miko, Lin En's Spirit Devour method is not limited to compressing the evil spirit into a purple bead to absorb.

Lin En felt it carefully.

His strength did indeed improve.

But not as much as when Utaha and Miko became Familia members and reincarnated as devils.

And the growth of the Familia will also provide him with feedback at any time.

To improve strength, the most important thing is to recruit Familia members and let them upgrade as soon as possible.

As for Spirit Devour...

If it were a Grade 1 Curse, or even a Special Grade Curse, it might cause his strength to improve rapidly.

Only...

"Curses of this level don't appear so easily..."

It depends on fate.

Hmm...

I'll mention it to Natsumi and ask her to help keep an eye out.

Although Natsumi's main focus isn't Curses, aren't there colleagues who specialize in Curses?

Of course, for Special Grade Curses, Lin En isn't very confident.

Although 【Spirit-Medium Devil】 has a special attack effect against spirit-type entities, Lin En doesn't know to what extent it can actually work.

It's better to be cautious.

"Finished?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, then put down her tablet and stretched her body.

That old woman Machida Wanako.

Just because I forgot to write for a few days and didn't hand in the manuscript, she could say such mean things.

It must be menopause.

Moreover, the sales of "Love Metronome" are dismal, and there is no need to continue it at all.

If it were before, she might have been sad for a long time.

But since meeting Lin En, everything has completely changed.

Not just her life or becoming a devil, etc.

Even in writing, she has a new direction.

For the new book, why not call it...

"Miss Devil and Her Loyal Servant"?

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Lin En, her eyes flowing.

If Lin En knew her thoughts, he would probably say it was upside down.

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha like this, Lin En understood that this woman had fallen into some kind of fantasy again.

Shaking his head, Lin En shook his phone and said, "I posted a file in the group, remember to take a look when you have time."

A file?
