Chapter 818 Becoming A Sage Of Magic
Throughout those three months, massive changes rolled through the whole Demon World. The remaining ten Heaven Demons implemented Lawrend's book.
The changes were very controversial to the demon population. They felt that the changes were too sudden. None of them had the time to adjust to the new system.
Massive chaos erupted everywhere. Many powerful demons immediately tried to vie for strength by challenging the current rulers of cities
None of them would be able to hold onto their positions for more than several hours before someone stronger would arrive and snatch it from them.
The only place in the demon world that was relatively peaceful was Central Demonic.
Because the Heaven Demons directly controlled it, no one dared to show that they had ideas about it. Thus, business boomed in the massive city. Many demons seeking peace arrived.
Aleshia and the others got bored very quickly and immediately tried to influence the government of the demons. The Heaven Demons were wary of them, so the best they could do was make them spread the information about the new system faster.
Overall, the demon world was heading toward a positive change.
…
Lawrend reluctantly stopped sending mana into the staff in his hand. It glowed a serene green glow that slowly faded away.
That was right. Lawrend managed to put in a branching magic formation on the staff in his hand. It wasn't a staff as special as the bow he made for Amene, but the formation on it made it special in its own way.
Lawrend had gone through a lot of materials and made a lot of weapons. He engraved the branching magic formation onto them and tested each of their functions.
He made a small pile of weapons either broken or shattered on the side. His first try before was just a fluke.
Most of the time the branching magic formation would cause the weapon to shatter into pieces or crack. It was unexpected, but Lawrend just asked Sanaka to send him weak weapons for research.
The Heaven Demons became confident of Lawrend's success when they learned that he was able to engrave the branching magic formation onto weapons. Those that were upset quickly changed their minds.
It was different before when they were skeptical about his abilities. Now that he was able to show results, he was the best person to study the Portal's Magic Formation.
The future looked really bright for the demons. Sanaka and the others were glad they didn't go down the path of no return back then.
…
Another month passed as Lawrend studied the branching magic formation. He had relearned half of the magic formation functions he already knew but in the way of the branching magic formation.
While at it, Lawrend decided to name this branching magic formation. It was a mouthful when he uttered the 'branching magic formation' each time he needed to talk to the other Heaven Demons that visited him.
From now on, he would refer to it as "Magic Branching".
The name was not particularly stunning, but it was enough. The core of magic branching was to direct the flow of mana to create effects such as absorbing mana from the air, increasing the damage of a sword, and many more.
It was very similar to magic formations in function but as told before, it was made differently.
As this thought swirled within Lawrend's mind, he couldn't help but wonder if he could join the two. It was a bold idea, and Lawrend immediately started working on a project.
He returned to his physical body, got a table and chair, and then started writing and writing and writing. He spent a full six months drawing up a large magic formation and magic branching combination.
The magic formation acted as the core while the magic branching acted as the supporting mechanism. The branches around the magic formation would absorb the mana from the surroundings and power the magic formation.
The magic formation would then send a concentrated beam of mana straight to a particular direction defined in the drawing.
In other words, Lawrend was creating a laser gun. It was a bold idea that Lawrend didn't even imagine he would be able to make in this world. He just randomly thought of it.
He stood up from the chair and looked at the massive paper laid over the table and fell to the ground. It was quite big and dizzying to look at.
The massive amounts of shapes and runes written on it made it look like a blur to normal eyes. Only someone at Lawrend's level of understanding could make up what it was.
"I'm done."
Lawrend smiled and put his hands on his waists. All of his efforts were worth it.
He got another weapon in his arsenal. Hopefully, he would be able to use it in the future to kill the Goddess.
The only thing left to do now was to etch this magic formation and branching combination onto the demon world.
And so, Lawrend had to continue his study of the portal's magic branching. He traveled the demon world with Sanaka and Juju trailing behind him. The group toured each location where a portal would normally be and Lawrend studied there.
…
Time was nothing to Lawrend and the others at this point. They spent a total of more than three years touring the whole demon world. Lawrend managed to recreate the whole magic branching in a large piece of paper.
Thus, he could now study the magic branching with greater ease. He could now see the whole picture of it.
Lawrend didn't sleep nor did he spend any time with his maids. They missed his touch, so they would come bothering him once in while. Unfortunately, they would be forced to leave as Lawrend ignored them.
Lawrend was like a sage. He knew he had to spend some time with his maids, but he was engrossed in wisdom. The demon world's magic branching was so interesting it was like he was high on drugs while studying it.
