Yumu regretted it after joining.
Rimuru's plan was for him to subjugate monsters in the villages around the forest to establish a certain level of prestige first.
Otherwise, no one would believe a nobody.
But in this process, Yumu had to possess enough strength.
Thus, like Gobta, he began to receive special training from Hakurou.
Although he hovered on the brink of life and death every day, his strength improved very rapidly.
Indeed, between life and death, there is great terror, but also great opportunity... Early morning, the sun was bright.
On the Ninth Floor of Nazarick, inside Draco's room.
Albedo and Shalltear were slumped weakly on the bed.
The two gasped for breath and looked at each other, "Master is too powerful after awakening, isn't he?"
"Hmph, Shalltear, you can choose to quit," Albedo said coldly.
Shalltear rolled her eyes, "In your dreams. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking; I won't give up the position of the main wife."
Albedo gave a light huff, sat up from the bed, and reached out to tuck her long hair scattered beside her cheeks behind her ear.
"Do you think, if we can't satisfy Master anymore, will he abandon us?" Albedo asked worriedly.
"Then what should we do?"
Albedo was silent for a moment, leaned close to Shalltear's ear, and whispered a few words.
After listening, Shalltear's expression changed repeatedly, appearing somewhat uncertain, "But... what if the position of the main wife is snatched by her, wouldn't that be a huge loss!!"
"That's still better than being abandoned," Albedo said firmly.
"Alright."
Just like that, the two reached a consensus and began to ponder how to implement this plan... On the other side.
Nazarick's Sixth Floor.
Draco was asking Mare for advice on magic knowledge.
In a month's time, he had already finished learning the magic knowledge from Orel.
Now, Draco began to seek advice from Mare, the strongest Guardian in Nazarick for wide-area annihilation warfare.
Mare's magic was mostly nature-based magic, slightly different from conventional magic.
Magic in this world is activated through Magical Essence as a medium, making it a means of manifestation that follows specific laws to "produce the imagined effect of the magic seed."
Using the most common "Elemental Magic" as an example, this type of magic doesn't produce an effect from a cause, but rather turns the effect into that cause.
For example, with fire-type magic, you imagine there is fire here, telling the world the result that "there is fire here," and sending out this imagination in the form of energy; the final phenomenon that appears is something like a fireball.
The key is the imagination of Magical Essence turning into flames and burning; essentially, it is still a phenomenon triggered by the burning of Magical Essence.
That is to say, imagining Magical Essence burning turns it into fire, and imagining Magical Essence freezing turns it into ice.
This type of magic is the most common "Elemental Magic" in this world, and it is not affected by natural laws.
Natural phenomena are cases where water can extinguish fire, while water can also be evaporated by fire.
Fire created through "Elemental Magic" cannot be extinguished by ordinary water; magic can only be defeated by magic.
(The five basic elemental attributes: Earth, Space, Wind, Water, Fire; higher elements: Light, Darkness, Time)
Besides "Elemental Magic," there are also "Spirit Magic," "Holy Magic," "Summoning Magic," "Illusion Magic," "Physical Magic," "Nuclear Strike Magic," and so on in this world.
Generally speaking, a mage needs to use their own Magical Essence as a primer, chant an incantation, and condense the Magical Essence in the atmosphere to construct a spell formula.
Therefore, corresponding mental strength and magic power are required.
Magic power here refers to the numerical value of how much Magical Essence you can mobilize, not energy.
Magic power can be continuously increased through practice. For instance, Shuna's magic power is extremely strong; although the Magical Essence within her body is not high, the amount of Magical Essence she can mobilize is enormous.
Some monsters can use the Magical Essence in their bodies to directly activate skills without chanting, which is also a difference between monsters and humans.
Everyone in Nazarick has an MP attribute value and can directly mobilize the MP in their bodies to cast magic.
But converting MP into the Magical Essence of this world takes time; the more powerful the magic, the longer the preparation time.
Only some special skills and equipment can break such laws.
So the magic used by the NPCs of Nazarick is actually more similar to that of humans.
Although Mare's wide-area magic is very powerful, it has two flaws.
One is that it needs to follow natural laws, which imposes restrictions when dealing with "Elemental Magic."
The other is that the chanting time is too long.
In group combat, it acts like a map-wiping weapon, clearing out large areas at once, but its single-target combat power is somewhat lacking.
However, every NPC in Nazarick has a specific role; Mare's function is for map clearing.
But the drawbacks of nature magic do not exist for Draco.
His Lv85 class skill allows him to instantly cast any magic three times a day; Draco requires no preparation time at all.
Moreover, he came to learn the construction methods of magic formulas; once he learns them, he can try to modify them.
If successful, wouldn't Super-Tier Magic be within reach?
At this point, Draco's magic knowledge was no longer what it used to be and could be described as profound.
Mare and Draco discussed the mysteries of magic in the Large Tree House on the Sixth Floor.
Another month passed in a flash.
On this day, Draco finally stopped his conversation with Mare.
Because during this time, Draco had mastered all the magic knowledge that could be learned in Nazarick.
Next, it was time to start trying to create entirely new magic.
