Seeing a myriad of information crowd his vision, Aectaeon scratched his head.
"This is what I get for choosing Expert Meister for the difficulty." He muttered after sighing deeply.
Thereafter, he began scanning the panels from left to right.
{-{ Demon Orders }-}
{-{ Info: An Order will define the nature of a Demon's 'Innate Skills' and 'Acquired Skills' }-}
{-{ Innate Skills: Skills that are integrated into the Demon upon its emergence }-}
{-{ Acquired Skills: Skills that a Demon can acquire through levelling up }-}
{-{ List of Orders }-}
{-{ A. False Gods }-}
{-{ B: Spirits of Lying }-}
{-{ C: Vessels of Inquity }-}
{-{ D: Revengers of Wickedness }-}
{-{ E: Imitators of Miracles }-}
{-{ F: Purveyors of Pestilence }-}
{-{ G: Sowers of Discord }-}
{-{ H: Calumniators }-}
{-{ I: Tempters and ensnares }-}
{-{ To View Order Specification: Use 'Order Spec' Command }}
Aectaeon gave a glance at Thyr, trying to remember his Order. He just glanced over the Demon's stats earlier, so he had a hard time recalling it. Knowing that it was futile, he ended his attempt and addressed his concern to Thyr.
"Thyr, what was your order again?"
{-{ "Imitators of Miracles" }-}
"Oh, right, thank you."
Right away, Aectaeon navigated the device to find the aforementioned Command. After tapping on a few panels, he found what he was looking for. Once he tapped on 'Imitators of Miracles', another panel appeared above the existing five.
{-{ Imitators of Miracles }-}
{-{ Demons who belong in this order will acquire skills that can defy normality }-}
{-{ Demons who belong in this order are able to acquire skills under a different order }-}
{-{ Rarity: S++ }-}
When he was done reading, Aectaeon tapped the 'X' icon on the top right corner of the panel. Subsequently, he also removed the panel containing the information about the orders. He exhaled out of relief the instant that the panels were reduced.
"Next is, uhh, Stats Comparison. I'm already aware of the ranks since I've read about Ars Goetia in the past." He said as he closed the panel labeled 'Demon Ranks'.
Aectaeon then began reading through the last two panels.
{-{ Thyxerchmnidrovfstr Stats Comparison (Scale: Lvl. 1 - Lvl. 50 - Lvl. 100 - Current Level) }-}
{-{ Health Points (HP): 3080 -3860 - 4940 - 6050 }-}
{-{ Attack Points (ATK): 210 - 250 - 290 - 367 }-}
{-{ Defense Points (DEF): 74 - 104 - 134 - 184 }-}
{-{ Special Skill Points (SP): 130 - 174 - 218 - 303 }-}
{-{ Intelligence Points (INT): 250 - 300 - 350 - 560 }}
{-{ Speed Points (SPD): 215 - 255 - 295 - 380 }-}
"Oh, so your stats were boosted after you crossed level 100? Why is that?" Aectaeon asked the Demon as he looked at it.
Upon doing so, four panel strips were already in front of the Demon.
{-{ "Lvl. 97 to Lvl.98 Required Experience Points: 15,060 EXP" }-}
{-{ "Lvl. 98 to Lvl.99 Required Experience Points: 15,860 EXP" }-}
{-{ "Lvl. 99 to Lvl.100 Required Experience Points: 16,800 EXP" }-}
{-{ "Lvl. 100 to Lvl.101 Required Experience Points: 37,600 EXP" }-}
{-{ "Lvl. 101 to Lvl.102 Required Experience Points: 75,200 EXP" }-}
Aectaeon couldn't help but gawk at the difference of required experience points between the levels. He narrowed his gaze on the panels, imagining just how difficult it was for the Meisters to level up their demons.
'How many battles had Thyr gone through for him to be at that level? That's just insane. I wonder if I can keep up with its demand. I feel guilty for taking it easy now.'
The man inconspicuously mouthed an apology towards the Demon. Thyr simply looked at Aectaeon without a change in its expression.
Prior to reading the last panel, he approached Thyr. He reached for its head, but before his hand could touch its head, an invisible force seemed to have stopped him. Shortly thereafter, a small panel appeared from the portable device.
{-{ Actions }-}
{-{ A: Pat }-}
{-{ B: Hit }-}
{-{ C. Caress }-}
Aectaeon immediately chose the first option, squinting his gaze at the second.
'Why is there a hit option there? Is it a form of punishment?'
The force binding his hand vanished, enabling him to pat the demon. Looking at the corners of Thyr's mouth going up, it was evident that the demon was delighted. Once Aectaeon stood up, the demon jumped repeatedly in its place.
'It looks like a child and is acting like a child. How bizarre.' Aectaeon thought, proceeding to read information on the last panel.
{-{ Stats Comparison (Scale: Lowest in Lvl. 106 - Thyr's stats - Highest in Lvl. 106) }-}
{-{ Health Points (HP): 2100 - 6050 - 6780 }-}
{-{ Attack Points (ATK): 109 - 367 - 411 }-}
{-{ Defense Points (DEF): 93 - 194 - 367 }-}
{-{ Special Skill Points (SP): 120 - 303 - 303 }-}
{-{ Intelligence Points (INT): 480 - 560 - 590 }-}
{-{ Speed Points (SPD): 95 - 380 - 380 }-}
"Oh, so Thyr's stats are on the higher end of the spectrum. That's good then." Aectaeon uttered as he closed the panel, "I wonder what kind of stats do the other demons have. I might have to inspect each of them before going out to experience the game."
{{ Mission 'Summon 1 Demon From Your Portal' Accomplished }}
Aectaeon scanned the list of Commands once more. He wasn't aware of what Operational Command he could use that wouldn't affect Thyr by any means.
"Engage and Liberate is out of the question. What else is there? Hmm.... There!"
As soon as he found the Command, Aectaeon hurriedly tapped it. In a moment, a panel beside the list of commands appeared.
"It's a good thing that this is categorized, else I will be having a hard time searching for what I wanted."
Aectaeon tapped on his item of interest, tapping yes on the panel confirming his choice. In an instant, a basket of raw meat materialized by Thyr's feet.
{{ Feed Thyr with 'Basket of Red Meat'? }}
{{ Yes }} {{ No }}
Without a second thought, Aectaeon chose yes. All at once, Thyr began feasting on the meat. Strangely enough, the demon didn't make a mess while it was eating. It devoured every single piece of meat whole, leaving not a single speck of meat in the basket.
{{ Mission 'Activate 1 Operational Command' Accomplished }}
{{ Mission 'Use 1 Item From Your Inventory' Accomplished }}
Like a child who had gotten a new toy, Aectaeon watched as the Demon cleaned up its own place. To his surprise, the demon wasn't finished with its meal.
Thyr lifted the basket that was half its size, and no later than a blink of an eye, gobbled it up.
