Blake was holding a staff in his hand, carved of elder wood and inscribed with great many runes. On top of the staff was an orb of Manatite and across from him stood Diablo. "Begin!" shouted a tiny red dragon from the side, Ddraig, and their sparring session began in earnest. Blake raised his staff quickly in the air as the magicules began to obey his reason and took form as a magic formula appeared in front of his staff. "Infernal Beam!" he shouted, no long incantation needed. From the circle came a concentrated beam of fire.
"How exciting" Diablo smiled softly, and with a twitch of his fingers the beam of fire was dispersed with ease. "Now Master, let me show you true fire magic" said Diablo. From his hand came a beam of far more concentrated beam of fire, and Blakes senses immediately screamed danger and dodged out of the way. "Nuclear magic, Jaune was particularly interested in this piece of magic. Do you know what it is?" asked Diablo as Blake nodded no. "No, I only been in this world for a few months" said Blake. "Well, nuclear magic is the manipulation of dense black flames, an abyss core, and the usage of it to cast spells like the basic Nuclear Cannon" informed Diablo. "It can also effect spiritrons, a fundamental particle that is the building block of spiritual matter like the magicules used in spells."
"That seems complicated, and pseudo-scientific" said Blake as Diablo just smiled. "Maybe in your world it is, but here it is truth. Spirit science and magic both make use of these powers, and thus it is important you know what they are. As a saint, you have alot of power and potential to use these forces, spiritrons in particular for holy magic" said Diablo. "Holy magic uses spiritrons?" asked Blake as Diablo nodded. "Yes, you form a contract with a higher power, and you pray to them, using the power and blessings they give, to manipulate spiritrons into spells" said Diablo.
"I have been practicing my prayer magic, well holy magic I guess its called, and it seems to purify the air somewhat" said Blake. "That's means its purifying the magicules in the air, and since magicules can be said to be demonically inclined, holy magic is powerful against creatures that depend on them" said Diablo. "Like you?" asked Blake as he smiled. "Of cour-" began Diablo before he was interrupted by words of faith. "I lift this prayer to you, oh Lord, and ask thee in all thy grace to bind this demon to the earth!" chanted Blake as a geometric formation appeared under Diablo and he was forced to the ground using a divine pressure.
"Well done" said Diablo and Blake dismissed the spell. "What's the name for that spell?" asked Diablo. "I thought of it on the spot, pulling from what little I knew of people who bound demons using spells" Blake scratched his cheek as he explained. "How powerful, not many can think of spells on the spot, and creating new spells requires great understanding, visualization, and will" said Diablo. "How about Solomons binding?" asked Blake, a name he figured might seem appropriate.
"Whose Solomon?" asked Diablo. "He was a great sorcerer and man of faith, I had a chance to see him on a journey, and was quite troubled by him and his power" said Ddraig lazily. "You met Solomon?" asked Blake, excited that he might find out more about a famous figure. "The one in my world, so it may be different than yours. He was a powerful and wise king, and his building of the temple was quite a feat as it was a powerful center of Abrahamic divinity until it was destroyed" said Ddraig, and scooted back as he noticed Blake was up close with stars in his eyes.
"So cool" he said in a more silent voice. "Okay, boundaries" said Ddraig as he pushed his master away with his golden protrusions. "As I said, he was a prodigious sorcerer. We fought for a while, until he pushed me out of his territory using powerful magic of the 72 families" said Ddraig. "The 72 families? The 72 pillars?" asked Blake as Ddraig nodded. "He had a contract with each of the houses, and was able to use their magic because of it" answered Ddraig.
"So cool" whispered Blake to himself. "He does indeed seems to be famous. I have no doubt he would do well in a world like this, maybe even subjugate me and six others of the founding members of our lineage" chuckled Diablo. "Thank you for answering Ddraig" thanked Diablo with a light bow in respect to his master Blake. "Your Welcome, I want snacks later" said Ddraig Lazily as Diablo nodded.
"That being said, I think we are supposed to head to that settlement right?" asked Blake as he stretched his whole body out. "Yes, if I remember right, you offered them aid for once a month, and its about time for the first delivery" said Diablo. "Alright, let me shower first" said Blake and he went inside to shower. He was quick about it and was outside dressed nicely, well he dressed nice while matching the woods around him for aesthetic. "Alright, Ill perform the movement" said Blake as he activated his summoning power and summoned his group over to the goblin settlement.
As they entered the settlement, they noticed a difference. There was more magic power in the air, more than what the whole of the goblin village should be able to put out. As they appeared, a female goblin came over to them and bowed. "Hello! Let me take you to the Elder!" she declared as she dragged, as loosely as that could be said, to the hut that the village elder resided in. She went in and announced their presence, and it seemed like there was an extra party to the matter.
A slime, one that was emitting way to much magical energy, and it seemed the source of the new energy was confirmed.
"Hello, who are you?"
