Sage’s Enslavement Magic

Sponsored Content

 

 

So it’s decided that I’m going to fight against a powerful looking ogre, but —

When I summoned Hakoku from the Spirit World, that same ogre promptly acknowledged that he lost.

According to him, ‘There is absolutely no way I will win against you, the wielder of that sword’.

But you wouldn’t know unless you try it, right?

Oh, was it because of that?

Those who are truly powerful also excel in the ability to discern their opponents’ strength, something like that.

He probably predicted that he would lose against me, and even if it’s just barely, he still gallantly accepted his loss.

Well, if he wanted to become my comrade without having to fight against me, then that would be for the best. 

He was willing to be Tamed, so I activated the magical circle and Tamed him.

By the way, you can use Tame, an enslavement magic, even at Level 1.

However, the success rate of enslavement magic that a Level 1 practitioner could do was extremely low. Even slimes could possibly resist it.

That’s why I did what I always do — I turned the structure of the enslavement magic into fragmented parts, then with the combination of lowest level magic and the magical circle made from the characters that were created from mana, I made a reproduction of the Tame magical spell.

The genuine Tame spell included the magical formula to strengthen the subordinate. 

Of course, I also replicated that.

I touched the ogre’s head as he bowed before me and activated the enslavement magic. At the same time, I also strengthened him because he had become my subordinate.

If I’m not mistaken, ogres are A-class monsters, right?

Not only that, this guy seems to be super strong.

In that case, he can probably bear it if I poured 1 million mana points in him, right?

And so, I poured a lot of mana in the strengthening formula nonstop.

 

Unexpectedly, he received a lot.

I ended up giving him around 5 million mana points.

Afterward —

His once powerful body shriveled up.

Eh!?

D-Don’t tell me…Did the strengthening phase failed?

This was the first time it happened to me.

In order to station monsters in the dungeon floors, I went to various places taming monsters and strengthening them. Most of them had undergone changes that made them stronger than before they were Tamed.

And yet, this ogre was the only guy who had gone from the muscular physique characteristic of an ogre to a shapely, human-like figure.

At first glance, the only thing different was the two horns growing out of his temples — other than that, he could totally pass as a human.

“T-This is —”

The ogre stood up.

His height was a bit taller than Ryuushin? 

His face had totally transformed into a human one.
And he’s quite the dashing guy now.

Eh, perhaps… he evolved?

I read in a book that ogre monsters could evolve into the Kijin Race of Oni.

Oni are a tribe considered to be second only to the nine-tailed foxes.

“Aruji-dono!”

The former ogre stood, checked himself, then genuflected before me.

Apparently, he officially acknowledged me as his master.


 

“Did you evolve?”

“Yes. Thanks to Aruji-dono’s tremendous power pouring in me, I have become one of the Kijin Race. I will offer all this newly obtained power to Aruji-dono from here on.”

“Congrats, er… oh, right, you don’t have a name yet. Is it alright if I give you one?”

“If Aruji-dono bestows it, then with utmost pleasure.”

“Hmm, then, how about Orga?”

“Thank you very much. This Orga pledges my loyalty to Aruji-dono to my last breath!”

“Yup, thanks.”

I like his former appearance though, it fits the image of a dungeon boss more…

Ah, but if the dungeon floor boss is an Oni, then wouldn’t that be more prestigious?

And so, I appointed him to be the 18th floor boss of the Dungeon Ruins as planned.

“Alright, next will be —”

“!?”

I stepped towards the woman sitting meekly on the ground.

Her jaw dropped as she watched me Tame Orga, and she looked utterly flabbergasted.

She looked extremely terrified when I turned to look at her.

Don’t worry, be at ease.

I won’t hurt you.

I finally found the person whom I can entrust with the position of my dungeon’s Final Boss.

There’s no way I’m letting you go.

“Original-san, that girl’s strong.”

“Yup yup. I think she’s a majin of the warlock class*.”
“Won’t Taming her be impossible, then?”


 

My clones were worried about me.

But it’s alright.

I still have that trump card that I recently mastered.

“Well, just watch.”

I used mana and formed the Divine Script — characters used by the deities — with my right hand

Previously, I could only use Divine Script to teleport to the Divine Realm.

I could read ancient runes, but I couldn’t, for the life of me, read the Divine Script. 

The reason why I could use Divine Script for teleportation to Divine Realm was because I watched Creator God-sama and replicated his spell.

If I can’t read the characters, then I can’t use it for magic.

I may be like this, but fortunately, I have a reassuring ally.

It’s no other than Luna, one of my wives.

Luna is also a transmigrated soul from the same world as mine, and she has a cheat skill that enables her to read anything.

Luna and I studied and researched Divine Script.

That’s how I acquired this ability.

“Tame!”

This time around, I poured a colossal amount of mana incomparable to when I tamed Orga into the enslavement magic.

The magical circle contained hundreds of characters, all written in Divine Script.

With this, it no longer mattered whether she’s a fiend; I could definitely Tame her.

“— Uughh!!”

The woman seemed to be in pain.

That’s weird….

I could sense a power resisting Tame.

It was not the woman’s own power, but something else’s.

I turned my consciousness to peer into the power that was sleeping in the depths of her body. 

Since she was a fiend, it was only natural that exuded a hint of the Evil God’s aura, but I discovered that she possessed a lump of the Evil God’s mana within her.

That’s the thing that was interfering with my magic.

It’s in the way, so —

“Holy Lance!!”

I annihilated that mass of power.

The power resisting the Tame spell weakened, and I was finally able to Tame this majin woman.

Because the mass of power from the Evil God disappeared, her strength became weaker.

And so, I used the strengthening formula on her just like how I did with Orga.

Surprisingly, she swallowed almost 10 times the mana I gave to Orga.

As expected of a majin.

No, I’m sure I had strengthened her a lot, so perhaps she’s already as powerful as a demon.

She knelt before me.

“I am Sitri. I pledged my loyalty to Danna-sama.”

––––––-

T/N: (Missed Chapter 2/15)
Aruji-dono, still Master, but distinguishing it from Youko’s Master (Onushi-dono, funny enough they have the same kanji 主殿 but different readings) and Sitri’s Danna-sama. Oni are basically also ogre in English, so I just retained it.

And now I have a dilemma!! Warlock is male, right? Granted that Sitri is a demon mistaken for a warlock, what should I do with this address now?? And why didn’t I think that majin could also be female, huh!? Uwuwuw…and so, for the meantime, I just used Majin, the original reading, since I’m using Oni anyway… As in Majinboo~ Ugh… Sorry guys for this incompetent translatorrrrr, this being my first ever project (>.<””) what do you think guys? Should I continue using warlock, or change to fiend (a term I encountered when searching for Oni alternatives), or just use Majin?? If I do change it, all warlocks will now become either Fiend or Majin X(

Update: Uhhh, I totally forgot about this note. I already decided to stick to Majin in the end XD Thanks!
