Tohka also looked at Mo Li in surprise, sensing that familiar spiritual power, and asked in confusion:
"Hey, Mo Li, how could you..."
"Tohka, try summoning your spirit dress and angel now, can you?"
Although she didn't know what Mo Li wanted to do, Tohka did as she was told, but no matter how she summoned, the spirit within her body didn't respond at all.
I see. After borrowing power, the familiars can no longer be used.
Mo Li signaled to Tohka that she didn't need to try anymore. After understanding the essence of borrowing power, Mo Li didn't waste any more words and pulled Tohka towards the airship.
The people on Fraxinus watched in disbelief as Mo Li became the first male elf in history, with Murasame Reine being the most incredulous of them all.
This is the first time I've seen such a change; an outsider can actually summon angels and spirit costumes.
He clearly didn't have any spirit crystals in his body, yet he could become an elf through a contract, which really startled Lingyin.
The plan seems to have gone off track. If this continues, Shiori might not only fail to seal the spirits, but she herself might also be defeated by Mo Li.
Looking at Shiori's envious expression, it was time for another spirit to appear. This time, we absolutely couldn't let Moli succeed.
Kotori also looked cautious, her expression very serious as she watched Mo Li speeding towards her on the screen.
She discovered that Mo Li always managed to bring her new surprises—no, it should be said, shocks.
At first, he controlled people's minds with the Eye of Geass, then he possessed a Noble Phantasm capable of destroying cities, and finally he could become a spirit. Just how many more trump cards does he have up his sleeve?
Just as Qinli was thinking, there was a loud crash from 617, and Mo Li broke through the window and rushed in.
The loud noise nearly made Kotori fall off her chair. Looking at Mo Li, who was dressed in spirit armor, she said with a helpless expression:
"This is what you meant by 'come up here yourself,' meaning you can't make a little noise."
"This is my first time using this power, so I'm still a bit clumsy."
"Really, cough cough, welcome to the air battleship Fraxinus!"
Mo Li, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, since she had already seen everything through her clairvoyance, both inside and outside.
On the other hand, Tohka looked on with surprise, looking left and right, very curious about the place.
"Speak, what brings you here today?"
"We've completed the contract for you; now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Kotori, you'd better explain to me what's going on with that shopping street. And also, was that hotel your idea?"
"Hey, no, no, it was him, that guy named Kawagoe, it was his idea."
Kotori instantly betrayed her subordinates. Following the direction of her finger, Mo Li glanced at the man named Kawagoe.
With just one glance, Kawagoe Kyoji broke out in a cold sweat, constantly wiping the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief.
However, Mo Li quickly turned to look at Kotori. Although he had promised Kotori that he would not let the spirits harm the real world, one thing is one thing, and being deceived still deserves some punishment.
Chapter 56 Spirit Wave Detection, Tohka at Full Power
After Mo Li's little punishment, even Kotori in her commander mode couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
Mo Li, on the other hand, looked at her hand and felt a little uneasy, wondering how she had suddenly touched that spot.
Mo Li coughed lightly twice, and to ease the awkwardness, turned his head and said:
"Aren't you going to take data from Tohka? Hurry up and do it."
Kotori was also seeing this side of Mo Li for the first time, and she chuckled to herself before becoming serious.
Tohka was pulled into a room by Murasame Reine. She was a little nervous at first, but when she saw Mo Li in front of her, her eyes relaxed instantly.
This made Kotori feel uneasy, but the test was about to begin, so she had to focus on her work first.
"Tohka, try to control the spiritual power in your body and suppress it to the lowest level."
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Tohka closed her eyes and, following Mo Li's instructions, tried her best to suppress her spiritual power, preventing it from being released to the surface.
Soon, Kotori and the others noticed that Tohka's spirit wave was weakening and then disappeared completely.
If you didn't tell her, you wouldn't be able to tell that Tohka is an elf. After all, both Ratatosk and the elf-fighting forces rely on these instruments to identify elves.
"Wow, amazing! Lingbo really disappeared."
"Tohka, how long can you maintain this state? This is important."
"Huh, is this difficult? It seems like I can keep doing this forever."
Mo Li curled her lip in disdain. Becoming a familiar would bring an all-round improvement. If you can't even do something as simple as controlling spiritual power, then what's the point of the contract?
Kotori was also pleasantly surprised by this situation, as it meant she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of hiding Tohka.
Tohka can walk openly on the street, and even if they go to school together, she won't be discovered by the AST members.
"Next, Tohka, release all the spiritual power within you!"
"Wait, wait a minute, are you going to let her transform here? What if she fails..."
"Trust me, trust Tohka!"
Mo Li calmly watched Tohka, who had already summoned her spirit armor, her spirit wave reaction rising extremely high and quickly reaching its peak.
At this moment, Tohka had no intention of stopping and continued to increase the spiritual power she released.
The sky outside began to collapse, and the alarm of a spacequake resounded throughout the entire block.
"Make her stop immediately! Such a violent spatial quake could destroy the entire Tiangong City."
"Don't worry, I keep my word. Just watch."
Mo Li's expression remained unchanged. As a demon king, what kind of demon king would he be if he couldn't even control this little bit of power?
The spacequake was about to hit Tiangong City, but Mo Li made no move.
This made Qinli a little anxious. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid of angering Moli, so she could only stomp her feet a few times to vent her resentment.
"Tohka, try to control the spatial tremor with your spiritual power."
Upon hearing this, Tohka raised one hand and connected herself to the spatial tremor outside. Since the spatial tremor was caused by her own release of spiritual power, Tohka easily controlled it.
The enormous sphere began to shrink slowly and then disappeared into the air.
Tohka opened her eyes and looked at the scene before her, somewhat incredulous.
"Did I really do this?"
"Ah, that's right. Congratulations, Tohka. You can now live freely here."
Mo Li looked at Tohka with satisfaction, having gotten the answer he wanted. After becoming a familiar, in addition to the increase in power, all other stats also showed a significant improvement.
Kotori breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost transformed to counteract the spatial tremors outside.
After the measurement was completed, Tohka was brought out by Reine and ran to Moli, lowering her head, her intentions quite clear.
Mo Li glanced helplessly at Tohka, then slowly reached out and stroked Tohka's head.
"Phew, today's battle was really exhilarating. Kotori, does Ratatosk have any combat training grounds?"
"What do you want to do?"
When Kotori heard Mo Li ask that question, she immediately had a very bad feeling.
Just as Kotori had expected, Mo Li said excitedly:
"Of course she needs to train. Tohka's current fighting style is too simplistic. She'll be fine against AST, but if she encounters someone like Eren, she'll easily suffer."
"Yes, I do, but let's make it clear first, you're not allowed to use your most powerful moves."
"Yes, yes, don't worry. It's mainly to train Tohka."
Mo Li raised his hand to vouch for her, but Qin Li didn't believe him at all. She had figured it out; Mo Li was a battle maniac who wanted to fight anyone he saw.
But on the other hand, fighting in the training ground is much better than fighting on the street, as there will be no casualties.
Kotori silently found a reason for herself and convinced herself to agree.
Just as Kotori looked up, she discovered that Mo Li, Tohka, and Shiori were nowhere to be seen, and she asked in a fit of anger:
"Where are they? Where did Mo Li and the others go?"
"Commander, Tohka said she was hungry, so Mo Li took Koshi back with her."
"Hey, that bastard, how dare he! Who gave them permission to teleport back?"
"Uh...it's me!"
A hand reached out from in front of the computer. Kotori stood up and looked over, only to find it was Kawagoe Kyoji.
Kotori raised an eyebrow, stretched her limbs, and slowly walked towards Kawagoe.
"Kawagoe, I don't think I've settled the score with you for what happened last time!"
"Wait, wait a minute, Commander, don't come any closer! I'm forced into this situation."
A terrifying scream came from Fraxinus, but it had nothing to do with Mo Li and the others who had already arrived home.
Mo Li and Shi Xiang sat at the dining table, while Shi Zhi, who had been brought in to be the chef, was working hard to prepare the dishes.
Because of the successful contract, Mo Li also gained 1,000 Demon King Points, getting closer and closer to the 10,000 mark.
In the current world, Mo Li's strength can be considered to be in the first tier. Apart from the top few people, basically no one can hurt him.
The boost from the two companions has already rapidly increased Mo Li's strength; with a few more, he'll be unstoppable.
Mo Li is not satisfied with just one familiar, such as Ten Xiang. Battle-type spirits like Kurumi, Kotori, and Yamai are the fastest way for Mo Li to improve.
Mo Li had long coveted characters like Kurumi, who were practically bug-level Zafkiel.
"Wow, it's hamburger patties! I'm digging in!"
Tohka's voice temporarily interrupted Mo Li's thoughts. Before the next spirit appears, he should train Tohka first, so that she is at least as strong as Saber.
"Eat slowly, there's still some in the pot. Oh, and Mo Lishi."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Are you really going to send Tohka to school? As far as I know, Origami is also a member of AST, right?"
Shiori's concerns were not unfounded, but with Mo Li by her side, Origami would not choose to act recklessly.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Li reassured Shiori, saying:
"Don't worry, if no spiritual wave is detected, even Origami can't get the higher-ups to order an attack. Besides, she wouldn't dare to do anything reckless while I'm around!"
Chapter 57: The Phantom Appears, the Initial Spirit
London, UK, DEM.
Westcott stared at Allen lying on the hospital bed, lost in thought for a long time. It was the first time he had seen Allen suffer such severe injuries, with extensive bleeding in his internal organs.
It's an incredible honor to have been saved; whether he can continue fighting depends on his recovery.
The world's most advanced CRUnit Pendragon system had become utterly worthless and beyond repair.
Although Allen had woken up, her eyes had lost their previous sparkle. She stared blankly at the hospital ceiling. This severe injury had taught her what it meant to be outmatched.
"Allen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm just lucky to be alive!"
Upon hearing Westcott's voice, Ellen slowly turned her head to reply, saying that her body was now in excruciating pain with the slightest movement.
Seeing this, Westcott's face darkened. With Allen down, DEM would now be in his place.
She really knows how to create trouble for herself, but this Mo Li is making me more and more interested.
Before coming, Westcott repeatedly watched the video of Allen and Morley's fight. The fighting style, unfathomable strength, and the weapons in their hands all captivated Westcott.
However, he didn't see the part where Mo Li turned into an elf; otherwise, Westcott would have come knocking on 617's door immediately, and appreciation would have turned into a threat.
After all, in this world, only Westcott is capable of absorbing spirit crystals. If there were another one, the consequences would be unimaginable, enough to trigger a world war.
"Just focus on getting better. Leave the rest to me for now. Someone in Tiangong City will handle it."
"I'm so sorry, but I promise I won't lose next time!"
"Hahaha, that's the right way to think. You're the world's strongest magician!"
"The world's strongest magician? In that guy's eyes, it's a complete joke."
