[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Arc of Embodiment Magic attribute!]
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi was overjoyed.
'Finally here!'
Before coming to Ishgar, Kenichi had wanted to obtain Rustyrose's Arc of Embodiment magic attribute.
Now that the system had dropped the Arc of Embodiment magic attribute, his wish was fulfilled.
[Host, would you like to collect the Take Over: Arc of Embodiment Magic attribute?]
Soon, the system prompt sounded again in Kenichi's mind, and Kenichi answered without any hesitation: 'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the Arc of Embodiment attribute beside Rustyrose over there, along with the previously dropped Magic Power attributes, all converged towards Kenichi.
After all those attributes merged into Kenichi's body, the Magic Power attribute on the virtual screen in front of him continuously increased.
And the [Arc of Embodiment] magic attribute was added to the Magic attribute column.
Looking at the [Arc of Embodiment] magic attribute on the screen, Kenichi clenched his fist tightly, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
'I wonder if that experiment will be successful.'
After obtaining Neinhart's Historia of the Dead, Kenichi had conceived an idea.
He wanted to manifest dragons.
Dragons like Igneel.
But Neinhart's manifestation magic had many limitations.
So Kenichi thought of Rustyrose's Arc of Embodiment.
Arc of Embodiment was fantasy manifestation.
It manifested things from imagination.
Although Arc of Embodiment also had limitations, Kenichi wondered if combining Neinhart's [Historia of the Dead] and Rustyrose's [Arc of Embodiment] could create a brand new manifestation magic.
Of course, whether it would succeed required experimentation.
'I'll use you to test it!'
Looking at Rustyrose before him, Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately used [Historia of the Dead].
At that moment, numerous memory images appeared in Kenichi's mind.
These memory images were naturally Rustyrose's memories.
Soon, Kenichi found Hades in Rustyrose's memories.
If Hades were dead, Kenichi could easily manifest him using the Historia of the Dead magic.
The key point was that Hades wasn't dead now.
And Historia of the Dead could only manifest people who were already dead.
What Kenichi wanted to experiment with was first using the Historia of the Dead magic to read someone else's memories, deeply imprint that memory in his mind, and then use Arc of Embodiment to manifest the character outlined in his mind.
This would compensate for the shortcomings of both manifestation magics.
Under Kenichi's control, he memorized all of Rustyrose's memories related to Hades.
These memories included Hades's every word and action, his magical power, and his magic.
"Arc of Embodiment!"
After imprinting all of Hades's memories, Kenichi directly used the Arc of Embodiment he had just collected from Rustyrose.
Bzzzt-
As the Arc of Embodiment was used, a person appeared out of thin air in front of Kenichi the next second.
This person was none other than Hades.
To be precise, it was the Hades manifested by Kenichi.
"It succeeded?!"
Looking at the manifested Hades before him, Kenichi was overjoyed.
Although this manifestation took Kenichi quite some time, this was, after all, the first attempt.
And it was still in the experimental stage.
Kenichi believed that given some time to continuously refine this magic, achieving instant activation like [Historia of the Dead] in the future was not impossible.
At that moment, Rustyrose, who was fighting Azuma over there, saw Hades and his face changed dramatically.
"Master... no, this is also manifested!"
"This guy actually manifested even Master!"
While Rustyrose was shocked, Kenichi directly gave a command to the manifested Hades: "Attack!"
With Kenichi's command, the manifested Hades immediately launched an attack against Rustyrose.
Hades brought two fingers together, like a sharp sword, and casually swung them towards Rustyrose over there.
"Amaterasu Formula 28!"
Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt-
At that moment, three purple magic circles immediately appeared beneath Rustyrose's feet and on both sides of him.
"This is..."
The moment these three magic circles appeared, Rustyrose's face changed dramatically.
He didn't hesitate at all and immediately used the Pegasus Wings on his feet to leap into the sky.
But before Rustyrose's figure could get far off the ground, the three magic circles emitted a dazzling light.
Boom-
The next second, a terrifyingly loud explosion resounded across the sky.
Accompanied by this roar, a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions like ripples.
The surrounding trees, under the impact of the terrifying shockwave, were instantly severed.
And Rustyrose's figure was engulfed by the flames produced by the explosion.
The explosion came and went quickly.
In just a second, the violent shockwave vanished, and the flames from the explosion dissipated.
Finally, Rustyrose's figure was exposed to the air once more.
Only now, Rustyrose was lying on the ground, heavily injured!
'Still alive?'
'It seems the manifested Hades still has some gap compared to the real Hades.'
Kenichi looked at Rustyrose lying on the ground over there and thought to himself.
From what Kenichi knew, if it were the real Hades, Rustyrose would have been dead from that move just now.
As for why the manifested Hades was weaker than the real one, Kenichi also knew.
His own magical power wasn't vast enough.
If his magical power were sufficient, he could definitely manifest a Hades with 100% strength.
'Although there are some flaws... it's still pretty good!'
Kenichi looked at the manifested Hades before him with satisfaction.
Through this experiment, Kenichi was also convinced that once his magical power reached a certain level, manifesting a 100% strength Igneel was not impossible.
Of course, that was all for later.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Kenichi turned his gaze back onto the heavily injured Rustyrose over there.
If it were before, killing him would be the end of it.
But now Kenichi had obtained the Human Subordination magic.
Killing him was not as good as controlling him to farm Magic Power later.
Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately walked towards Rustyrose.
After getting within a certain distance of Rustyrose, Kenichi activated the Human Subordination magic.
"Human Subordination."
Two clusters of vast magical power emerged from Kenichi's palms, directly enveloping Rustyrose.
"This is..."
Rustyrose, seeing the vast magical power enveloping him, his face changed dramatically.
He knew this was Zoldeo's magic.
Once hit by this magic, one would be controlled forever.
He wanted to scream.
But before he could cry out, the Human Subordination Magic had already dominated his mind.
At that moment, the fearful expression on Rustyrose's face completely vanished.
Then, Kenichi stored Rustyrose in the different dimension.
"With this, only Hades and Bluenote remain!"
After subduing Rustyrose, Kenichi turned to look in the direction where Hades was.
