The shaky Reina raised her middle finger to the stunned expert amid grand cheers.
"We actually won! We won! We actually beat that Land Vehicle Chamber of Commerce! It's incredible!" Li Lan jumped up with excitement.
"If you have this skill, you should have told me earlier, and you would have worried for nothing." Mike said with a sigh of relief.
Rena's battle left a very deep impression on the audience, leaving her name on the dark horse list.
"Master! I win!"
Reina raised her head, looked at the Demon King and smiled, her face still stained with blood, but she smiled so brightly.
"Well, not bad."
The Demon King put his hand on her head, and a light suddenly flashed, and her wounds healed instantly. At the same time, she yawned, feeling sleepy: "Master, I'm a little sleepy."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The Demon King held her shoulders and carried her behind her back. She must have reached her limit in this battle. It was quite good to be able to hold on for so long.
"It's really not easy. For such a young girl to be able to defeat such a big guy and to teach such a disciple, I really changed my mind about you." Mike said with admiration.
The Demon King smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Ah! The mecha is so broken! It's over! I have to stay up all night to repair it these days!" Li Lan covered her head and sighed.
"Haha, come on! Victory always comes at a price."
Mike said with a smile.
On their way out, the three met many spectators who claimed to be fans and some people who claimed to be reporters. They enthusiastically wanted to know more about them, but the Demon King ignored them one by one and left the venue.
Just as he was walking out of the venue, Mike glanced at someone he seemed familiar with. His eyes widened and he suddenly turned his head to look. However, when he looked again, he didn't find that shadow in the crowd.
"Illusion?"
He touched his head and said to himself.
…
There is still one week left before the next competition, which is quite a rush.
"Ah!! There are so many things I want to improve! It's too late!"
Lilan's wails came from the studio.
"Isn't it okay to follow the previous one?"
Mike was sitting on a stool, holding coffee in one hand and reading a newspaper in the other and said leisurely.
Unknowingly, he actually used this place as a place to spend time. He would occasionally come to train with Reina or serve as Lilan's assistant.
"No! After watching that game, I suddenly had a lot of inspiration! I had thought wrong before! Big mistake! Ah!! Why am I so stupid!" Li Lan covered her head and kept wailing.
.
"Anyway, let's fix it first. Considering that girl's strength, it's fine as long as it's usable."
"That's definitely not possible!! I can't accept it! What time is it now! Why don't you go to the game!"
"Oh, I almost forgot."
After saying that, Mike ran out quickly.
The team of four is quite short of manpower. Lilan is the only maintenance and R&D person. Although the Demon King is capable of helping, he often secretly installs strange things in the mecha, which makes Lilan very angry.
Now the Demon King is focusing on training Reina so that she can cope with the upcoming competition.
"Eggs? How nice of you, Master, you actually know that I like to eat eggs."
As soon as Reina picked up the eggs in the basket, the Demon King slapped her on the head.
"This is not for you to eat! This is for training."
"Huh? Training?"
Reina was confused, what else can this egg be used for? Is it the devil's training method that won't break when you step on it?
The Demon King gently placed the basket of eggs in front of Reina, then sat down cross-legged, and Reina followed suit and sat cross-legged in front of the master.
"You have now used the deeper use of strengthening magic, fusion. Don't forget how you felt at that time, this is very important for your subsequent training."
"Integration? Master! I was thinking of using magic in the body and using strengthening magic in a weaving way! And then it came out in a snap!" Reina said excitedly, with a look of praise written on her face.
Look.
The Demon King nodded and said: "More or less, fusion means letting the magic power return to the fluid, undergo a qualitative change, and become one with the body, allowing the body to surpass the limits of living things and burst out with amazing energy."
"Ah? Master, I have a question." However, at this moment, Reina became confused.
"Say it."
"Didn't you say before that if the body eats degenerated food, the magic will become a part of the body, and then it will be injured?" Reina couldn't explain clearly, but it was almost the same thing.
The Demon King smiled slightly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what happened."
"But isn't this contradictory? Why..."
"Indeed, many things in this world are contradictory, but the changes in body integration are different from the changes in eating magic food. The former is controllable, while the latter is uncontrollable. But what is certain is that both will cause harm to the body.
Injuries can only be repaired by oneself, but not by others."
Then the Demon King told a few more stories about the emergence of fusion. A long time ago, in an ancient empire, there was an extremely powerful warrior who had never been defeated in his life. However, one day, I don’t know who spread a rumor.
, as long as you eat his heart, you can gain eternal life.
Just one night, while this powerful warrior was sleeping, his heart was dug out by the person he loved most. But the strange thing was that he did not die. When he woke up the next day, he was still living a normal life, no different.
The person who ate his heart felt tormented by it, day after day, for several years. Finally, the person couldn't bear it anymore and told the soldier that she had eaten his heart a few years ago.
When the soldier heard this, he touched his chest, fell to the ground immediately, and died.
People cut open his chest, only to find that his heart was empty, with only residual magic power.
It turned out that his body used magic power to create a heart on its own, allowing him to continue living. However, when he realized this, he could not control the magic power in his body and the heart disappeared.
"This is the origin story of Fusion. Although it is a legend and not very reliable, it shows the power of Fusion to a certain extent." The Demon King said.
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Well, it's hard for me to explain this magic that involves life stages." The Demon King didn't want Reina to understand it in depth.
"Then do I know how to do it now?"
Reina straightened her back and looked at her hands.
"No, that was just a result of your luck. What we have to do now is to help you learn to adapt accurately."
The devil said, took out an egg and put it in her hand.
"We're going to use this for training?"
"right."
"How to do it?"
Reina said doubtfully.
The devil took the egg from her hand and placed it in his palm.
"It looks good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the egg suddenly glowed faintly, and hexagonal patterns appeared on the surface of the eggshell, covering the whole body.
Suddenly, the Demon King threw the egg upwards. Reina watched in surprise as the egg fell. She covered her eyes and looked through her fingers as the egg fell to the ground.
However, something strange happened. The egg did not fall and the white was scattered all over the floor. Instead, it bounced up like a soft ball.
