A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

"Isn't this beer?"

Xia Youjie looked at the symbol on the can and hesitated before saying...

"Let's still be students."

"Jay, you're eighteen years old already, why are you still so serious and stubborn?"

After Kenmei Isayama finished drinking it in one gulp, the can was crushed in his hand. Then, the high-temperature scorching spiritual fire melted the can. The molten metal did not fall to the ground, but instead turned into a small ball.

He pinched it between his index finger and thumb, showing it to Xia Youjie.

"Like this, who would know?"

"But."

"If you don't want to drink it, give it to me."

Hearing what Kenmei Isayama said, Xia Youjie stopped refusing and downed his drink in one gulp.

He didn't say anything as he swallowed his large gulps; he just stared wide-eyed at Kenmei Isayama.

After finishing the beer, Xia Youjie did not melt the beer can in the same way as Isayama Kenmei.

Instead, a dark crack appeared out of thin air in the air beside him, emanating terrifying magical energy.

A large, terrifying-looking golden eyeball suddenly blocked the entire entrance to the cave, staring intently at Isayama Kenmei from next to Xia Youjie.

It is a cursed spirit of unknown level, peering at Kenmei Isayama with its eyes.

After Xia Youjie casually tossed the can into the hole, his large eyes moved upwards, revealing a mouth full of fangs. In less than a second, the can was completely torn apart by the powerful bite force, and then he left.

"What is this, Jay?"

Kenmei Isayama, gazing at the powerful, scale-covered body, flicked his tail and vanished from the opening.

“Rainbow Dragon, the hardest of all the cursed spirits I absorbed.”

Using Rainbow Dragon to treat aluminum cans is truly green and leaves no residue.

Xia Youjie pointed to the crack behind him with his right thumb.

"All the cursed spirits I've absorbed so far are inside."

This is his true source of pride, and the power that allows him to stand on the same level as his friend who possesses limitless techniques and six eyes.

Xia Youjie spoke with a hint of smugness, and he even made the opening of the crack larger so that Isayama Kenmei could see what was inside.

Inside, all sorts of terrifying and bizarre cursed spirits roamed, their dense, evil power swirling around like miasma. An ordinary person would faint at the mere sight of them. Their numbers were enormous, and the cursed spirits were generally of high rank.

"Hey, Xianming, what are you trying to do!"

Xia Youjie was waiting for his new friend to praise him, but he saw that Isayama Kenmei's eyes were "green" like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep, eager to devour it.

He grabbed Kenmei Isayama in one swift motion, preventing him from jumping in.

"Sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

Xia Youjie turned off the spell before he could stop Isayama Kenmei.

"I couldn't help myself when I saw so many cursed spirits."

To describe Kenmei Isayama's experience just now, it's like an extremely greedy person walking into a bank vault filled with money.

Xia Youjie's collection was so impressive that Jian Shanxianming could easily spot a single item worth tens of thousands of points, which made him green with envy.

Isayama Kenmei had a premonition that even if he converted half of Xia Youjie's cursed spirits into points, it would be enough to secure his first C-level simulation.

“Jay, you must never release all of your cursed spirits at once in the future.”

"Otherwise, I really won't be able to control myself."

"Ah, um."

Seeing the intimidating look in Isayama Kenmei's eyes, Xia Youjie nodded, his tone somewhat forced.

"I will not."

Whether Xia Youjie truly listened or pretended to listen, he knew he had said the right thing.

“Jay, I’m particularly interested in your technique.”

"Explain the details of your spell to me, what its flaws are, and what types of cursed spirits it cannot absorb."

Kenmei Isayama said to Xia Youjie

"Most importantly, I'm very curious about how exactly a cursed spirit can be transformed into a curse that can be absorbed by the human body."

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

Meeting his curious gaze, Xia Youjie said helplessly.

"You really don't hold back."

Chapter 55 The Experiment That Failed Again

Although that guy said that, Kenjiro Isayama told him everything he knew.

Therefore, he received many ideas from Xia Youjie and is putting them into practice.

A dazzling blue-white chain, entirely composed of psionic energy, firmly bound a level-three cursed spirit, which was situated in the center of a white carpet with a complex array of bright red runes.

Your talent 'Soul Devour' has activated, restoring 6 mana.

The "Psionic Binding" algorithm attack returned the mana, but Kenmei Isayama, who was focused on his work with his eyes closed, ignored the system notification.

His right hand was fully extended, facing the cursed spirit whose body was constantly hissing and smoking due to the psychic energy corruption. The magic circle under his feet was a rune used to improve the spellcasting efficiency of psychics.

Kenmei Isayama seemed to be muttering something to himself.

"cover."

The moment the first syllable was uttered, the air in the room, quiet enough to hear a heartbeat, suddenly became incredibly violent. A small tornado, shimmering with a dazzling blue light, was born in the center of the magic circle, completely engulfing the cursed spirit bound by the psionic chains.

The powerful psionic storm is composed of psionic energy that has been weakened in advance and released by Kenmei Isayama. It will only have a slight suppressive and corrosive effect on cursed spirits.

"break down."

After the second word was spoken by Kenmei Isayama, the scattered psionic storms began to converge, their color changing from light blue to dark blue, and the cursed spirits within them began to weather away as if ravaged by the passage of time.

Even if it is weakened infinitely, as it is concentrated, the increase in its psionic energy concentration can still have a decomposition effect, although it will take a little longer.

The second step is only complete when the shape of the cursed spirit completely melts away, is completely submerged by the psionic storm, and transforms into a dazzling ball of light.

Some may have noticed that what Kenmei Isayama is doing is very similar to the process Xia Youjie previously used [Spirit Manipulation Technique] to exorcise, absorb, and devour the spirits.

Yes, this is the special method that Kenmei Isayama learned from Natsumi Yuki.

Xia Youjie has been consuming cursed spirits for so many years that he has already developed a refining method that is more suitable for the "human baby's constitution".

Excluding the time he spent posing, the entire process from exorcising the cursed spirit to absorbing it took less than a minute, which was quite efficient.

Because the output of curse power and curse spirit is of the same origin, and is essentially a manifestation of negative human emotions, the conversion between them is particularly easy.

Psionic energy is different from cursed power; it has a completely different attribute from cursed spirits and is a power that surpasses cursed power. This leads to an infinitely increased level of difficulty in the process.

So when they progressed to the second step, Kenmei Isayama's forehead was covered in sweat, which was obviously quite mentally taxing. He practically squeezed out the last word through gritted teeth.

The third step is also a crucial one.

"Reconstruct..."

Kenmei Isayama needs to separate out as much of the mottled magical impurities and most of the spiritual energy from the ball of light as possible.

Otherwise, the concentrated block of spell power containing spiritual energy would be a deadly poison for low-level spell spirits, rather than a tonic.

The ball of light contained black, indestructible filth, which was the impurity. Kenmei Isayama was manually removing the impurity with his eyes closed, while the spiritual energy also needed to be broken down. It was really exhausting.

A period of time has passed

"It's done!"

When Kenmei Isayama opened his eyes again, he looked at the crystal-clear, pure mass, which was extracted from the energy essence of an entire cursed spirit.

The moment I touched its soft surface, it shattered the moment Kenmei Isayama's smile abruptly stopped.

[Your talent 'Soul Devour' has activated, permanently increasing your mana by 7 points. Your current mana is 676 points.]

Damn it, Kenmei Isayama would rather not see this system notification. From the time he had this idea to when he started to put it into practice, it was when his maximum mana reached 400 points, and now it's 676 points, a gap of 276 points.

It's clear that for every failure Isayama Kenmei had, there was a face full of cursed spirits.

"Ahhh!"

神情

Feeling extremely distressed, Kenmei Isayama scratched his head.

"Why do I keep failing?"

This was clearly the closest we came to success, but in the end, we still failed.

The only thing that could motivate Kenmei Isayama to prepare so diligently was something related to his sister.

This was all inspired by Jie. After watching him devour the ball of light formed by the cursed spirit, Isayama Kenmei noticed that although the effect was very weak, his total curse power did increase slightly.

The main reason is Jay; he had previously devoured too many powerful cursed spirits, so the amplification effect of a small, near-level two cursed spirit on him was limited.

But it's different for other people, so Kenmei Isayama immediately thought that perhaps his cursed spirit sister could be upgraded to a more powerful cursed spirit in this way.

According to the information collected by Kenmei Isayama, only high-level cursed spirits, such as powerful special-grade cursed spirits, develop self-awareness at that level.

Although it's unknown whether the memories awakened by the older sister after she became a Special Grade Spell Spirit are those of Isayama Sakura, Isayama Kenmei had no choice.

The worst-case scenario has already happened, and it can't get any worse in the future.

It's better than him going up to his sister, Isayama Sakura, and her only thought being to disembowel Isayama Kenmei and eat his pancreas.

Thinking of this, Kenmei Isayama spoke to the empty room.

"Uncle Lan, could you please go to room C and bring over two more spirit mediums? Thank you."

The third floor of the Isayama family's house was originally empty and unused, but Isayama Kenmei has transformed it into a place where he conducts some small experiments.

The staircase leading to the third floor was welded shut with an iron gate covered with blood-red runes that read "suppression." Several rooms on the third floor had been converted into places to imprison experimental cursed spirits.

"I need to use it again."
