　A newly created magic circle in Brillia Magic Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is effective when used against an opponent, but it requires that the opponent has sworn allegiance to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The name of this magic circle is the "Loyalty Crest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought to myself, "What a strange thing they have created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I guess it is because Benjamin was involved in the research.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I understand it somehow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because after all, I have sucked out Benjamin's true blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin is the first prince of the royal family of Briaria and is considered to be the next king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have more power now that I have taken all the blood from Benjamin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no doubt that the amount of my magical power has also increased considerably.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even without that, I have gained something great.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin was a magician.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is evident in the fact that we have been working together so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He used to conjure spirits from ice-absorbing stones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps that was Benjamin's magic, and it was used as a reference in the development of the loyalty crest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Benjamin sent his magic power into the ice sucking stone, I felt the movement as if the magic power was chewing the magic power and spirits in the ice sucking stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I think that it was an act to make the other party pledge allegiance to him by showing his power with his own magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, he was able to use the spirit by showing who was superior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not the same as the loyalty crest, but I felt that it is a magic with similar aspects.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is not the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In Benjamin's magic, there seems to be no transfer of magic power, and in the magic circle, it is not possible to use the other party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are not the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, in order to understand my newly acquired power, I decided to actually use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take out an ice-absorbing stone from my magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I send magic power into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess that Ai has been teaching me how to handle magic power and I have been training myself thoroughly in this area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice sucking stone is filled with magic power easily, and the density of the power is further increased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I decided to try to eat the magic contained in the ice sucking stone with the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eating other magic power with my magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sensation is strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a little different from eating with your mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were to venture a guess, it might be close to the feeling of "Itadakimasu" (Thank you for the food).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be more like using magic power to enhance digestion and absorption than the act of eating itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is like taking in nutrients from food that has been broken into small pieces and made fluid in the stomach, and then taking in the contents of the ice stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I decided to make my own modifications to increase the absorption rate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as Oliva had remade the flaming arrow as her own [Flaming Lightning Arrow], I transform Benjamin's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my mind, apart from "Itadakimasu", I was thinking about the absorption of blood by the magic sword that I would take from others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take their blood and make it my own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While using blood as a medium, I incorporated the sensation of gaining magic power and sorcery or magic into Benjamin's [spirit use].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My magic power moved more intensely in the ice absorbing stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I used my magic power, which was more concentrated than anyone else's, like a thick liquid, yet moved smoothly and without any resistance, to break the magic in the ice stone into small pieces, grind it, make it lighter, and make it easier to absorb.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He then puts it on his own magical power and takes it into his own body as if he were sucking blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic power I took in was mixed with my blood, circulated throughout my body, and finally was sent to my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it was stored in a reddish-black magic stone in my body near me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I stored the magic power obtained from the ice-absorbing stone in the magic stone inside my body which is used in Alphonse's method of enhancement, the same as the one implanted in the mercenaries of the Barka Mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......What did you just do, Al?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's an impersonation, Ben. I was impressed when I saw Ben do the [spirit spell] from the ice stone and fight the dragon. So I tried to do it in my own way so that I could imitate him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... wow. I didn't think it was something you could try to imitate. But it feels so different from my [spirit-usage] now. I mean, I don't think there's any sign of the spirit inside anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin is surprised to see what I have done to the ice sucking stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I took the blood from Benjamin while he was unconscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He and his servants must have been unaware of it, and must have thought that Benjamin's power was reduced at the cost of his life being spared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So they don't know that I've gained that ability by taking Benjamin's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To them, it would seem as if I had imitated their magic just by looking at them once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But still, Ben was sharp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must have sensed the power of the ice spirit in my ice absorbing stone, even though his magical power had once been reduced to that of an ordinary person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I pointed out that he could not feel the power of the spirit when I took it in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I may have ground it a little too finely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have ground it too finely with my magic power to improve the absorption rate, so that it may have lost its status as a spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that's all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come on, ice nymphs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let the ice spirit that I had taken into myself from the ice absorbing stone come forth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice nymphs were all very weak and frail-looking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were not human-, wolf-, snake-, or other animal-types like Benjamin, nor were they dragons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　None of them could fight only with the power of their spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just like Ars Barka-sama, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this it, Ai?　But it certainly makes sense when you say that this is the weakest ice spirit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These ice nymphs had no power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were just there, glowing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice nymphs that emerged from my body took on the form of no living creature, just a round ball of light floating in the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that they are the same as the ones that came out of my brother Ars when he used the "summon ice spirit"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surrounded by the ice nymphs that I had cast, and I thought so as I saw them emitting a pale light.
