Chapter 8: Excessive magic consumption? Only 'magic replenishment' will do

"So that's it. Is this the reason you let Kasumigaoka-san show off her ability?"

Rias suddenly realized, then looked at Lin En with complex eyes.

Was this actually part of your plan too?

Lin En wore an expression that said, 'You've discovered it.'

Mere common skills couldn't satisfy his appetite at all.

He had also flipped through that black-covered book a few times.

It could only be said that it contained too much theoretical knowledge.

There was also a lot of repetitive content; it was simply long-winded and tedious.

The remaining magic-like abilities were all very ordinary things, similar to 'Automatic Writing' or 'Lighting'.

The most valuable one was probably just the 'Magic Circle Jump' teleportation spell.

As for anything with great power, wide range, or strong practicality, there was almost none.

Since he was already here, Lin En naturally wanted to 'leech' some powerful skills.

Therefore, seeing Rias become curious about Utaha's ability, he naturally went with the flow.

Whether there's fruit or not, you have to take a swing at the tree first. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====

To be honest, Rias had indeed been hooked.

She really wanted to know to what extent Kasumigaoka Utaha, this Scribe Demon, could actually perform.

Rias smiled helplessly. "Alright, you win."

"Akeno, bring over that 'Lightning Strike Magic'."

"Yes, Buchou."

Himejima Akeno did not hesitate.

She never wavered regarding the decisions Rias made.

"Lightning Strike Magic."

Rias pushed a parchment scroll toward Lin En. "Super-tier magic. This is already the top-level magic I currently possess."

Lightning Strike.

Lin En glanced at Himejima Akeno inadvertently.

If he remembered correctly, her ability was lightning-based, right?

Rias really had brought out the good stuff from the bottom of her chest.

Lin En opened it and scanned it twice.

Yeah, he couldn't understand it at all!

Lin En instantly lost interest and handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"It's up to you, Utaha-beast."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't mind the nickname Lin En had for her this time and excitedly took the 'Lightning Strike Magic' scroll.

My goodness!

Super-tier magic!

It sounded very powerful!!

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already starting to admire Lin En.

Three sentences, and he made the demon young lady pay with a super-tier magic scroll!

Kasumigaoka Utaha forced herself to calm down and then opened the scroll.

The dense characters immediately made her feel dizzy.

She couldn't understand it at all...

Fortunately, she already had the experience from the previous 'Magic Circle Jump', so...

Start copying immediately!

While waiting, Rias briefly explained what super-tier magic was.

Simply put, magic capable of causing power on the level of a Demon King is called super-tier magic.

Yeah, simple and clear.

"Alright, done!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the fresh text on the Book of Demons, eager to try it out.

Subconsciously, she was about to release magic power just like before.

"Wait a moment!"

Rias's eyelid twitched, and she stopped her in time.

"The power of Lightning Strike Magic is a bit too great. Let's go outside."

Her Occult Research Club would have been in trouble otherwise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also realized what was happening. "Uh... sorry."

Rias shook her head to indicate it was fine, then walked outside first.

The open space behind the Occult Research Club.

The Book of Demons floated in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, its pages flipping continuously, making a rustling sound.

"Lightning Strike!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a light shout.

The flipping pages of the Book of Demons stopped on one of them.

A blue magic circle with a diameter of one meter rose into the air.

Crackle!

Without the slightest pause, a pillar of blue lightning as thick as an oak tree was instantly unleashed!

Boom!!

The lightning pillar landed on the ground, instantly blasting out a crater with a radius of one meter.

Dense lightning, like snakes, kept jumping around, making a crackling sound.

So strong!

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at the scene before her, unable to believe that she had caused this.

It's just...

So tired...

Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs went soft, and she fell backward into a firm, warm embrace.

Lin En looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in his arms, observed her for a moment, and reached a conclusion.

She must have used too much force and exhausted her magic power.

Rias walked up and said, "Kasumigaoka-san should only be a low-class demon. That strike just now probably exhausted all her magic power."

She glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and seeing that she was fine, her gaze involuntarily shifted to the crater not far away.

She actually really used it.

Although she didn't unleash the full power of the Lightning Strike Magic due to her strength, the completion of the spell was very thorough.

No cost or price, just simply recording the information of the spell.

And it looked like super-tier magic wasn't the limit of this 'recording' ability.

Was this ability a bit too broken?

Temporarily pushing the doubts in her heart aside, Rias looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was limp in Lin En's arms without any strength, and suggested:

"Why doesn't Mr. Lin En give Kasumigaoka-san some magic replenishment?"

"It seems that's the only way."

Magic replenishment?

How do you replenish it?

With her magic power exhausted, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even have the strength to speak; she could only struggle to open her eyes, wanting to see what this 'magic replenishment' was all about.

And then.

She saw Lin En's face, which kept moving closer.

Wait!

Is something wrong?

Mmph—

Her mouth seemed to be blocked by something...

Her body... so hot...

It seemed like something... had entered...

PS: Seeking data!! ===== CHAPTER 21 =====

So-called magic replenishment is a way to supplement magic power through the exchange of bodily fluids.

Among the demon community, magic replenishment is even more of a reward from a master to their kin.

"So, is this the reason you stuck your tongue out?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyelashes fluttered, her cheeks flushed red, and she pursed her lips, her red eyes looking as if they were watching Lin En, yet also as if they were watching the scenery behind him.

"To maximize the effect of the magic replenishment, of course."

Lin En was righteous and confident.

He was genuinely serious about the magic replenishment.

It was just that Kasumigaoka Utaha's consumption was too great, so the intensity of the replenishment was a little high. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
