Among the six major systems of 'Nen', as a neighboring system to Conjuration, Mika would normally have only 80% proficiency in the Transmutation system and could only exert 80% of its power.
However, under the enhancement of 'Hero Creation', Mika, currently at LV.2, has increased his proficiency in these six major systems by 20%.
Therefore, Mika now has 100% proficiency in both the Conjuration and Transmutation systems, and can exert their full power.
Given this, wouldn't it be a waste of Mika's talent if he didn't develop some abilities in the Transmutation system?
"Transmutation system!"
Lying on the roof of the Butterfly Estate, Mika pondered silently.
Regarding Transmutation abilities, Hisoka and Killua left the deepest impression on Mika.
The former changed the properties of his aura to give it the characteristics of chewing gum and rubber, using this to defeat enemies through various ingenious battle methods.
Such examples didn't have much effect on Mika. After all, his fighting style had always been very direct, without many twists and turns.
Apart from Hisoka, Killua had the most profound influence on Mika.
As a child from an assassin family, Killua had endured electric torture from a young age until he could withstand it without affecting his combat state.
Because of this familiarity with electricity, Killua eventually developed the ability to transform his aura into electricity and developed his Nen ability with electricity as its core.
"Speaking of familiar forms, I'm also familiar with fire!"
"But my magic is already manipulating fire, wouldn't it be redundant to turn my aura into fire as well?"
Gazing at the clouds in the sky, Mika pondered quietly.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by, and Mika's mind instantly cleared as inspiration struck.
"That's right, in a sense, 'fire' doesn't necessarily have to be flames!"
Recalling an anime he had watched called "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World", Mika's mind became clearer than ever before.
"In that world, fire attribute magic represents the manipulation of heat."
"Moreover, the physics and chemistry I learned in my previous life also mentioned that both flames and ice are related to temperature, so could I develop in this direction?"
With this inspiration, Mika immediately shared his thoughts with Gabriel and received an affirmative response from her.
"Your inspiration isn't wrong, manipulating heat is feasible."
After reaching a consensus, Mika and Gabriel exchanged a glance before excitedly diving into the development of the Nen ability.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In the forest outside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, streams of cold air swirled around in Mika's hand.
Then, as Mika extended his hand, the cold air quickly flowed towards a nearby tree trunk.
In an instant, the trunk of the large tree was encased in ice.
"Yeah! It's complete!"
Looking at the scene before him, Mika jumped up excitedly.
After a month of development with Gabriel, his Nen ability, which combines both Manipulation and Transmutation systems, was finally completed.
Using heat manipulation as a basis to achieve the transformation of aura between fire and ice, and then manipulating them in battle.
This was Mika's new Nen ability.
But after the excitement subsided, Mika felt more contemplative.
"I feel like I'm becoming more and more dependent on the Manipulation system!"
Thinking about this, Mika's desire to level up became even stronger.
After all, with the current twenty-fold aura consumption, Mika simply couldn't afford it!
To the extent that even though he never slacked off in developing his Nen abilities, they still couldn't become his main combat method.
It's all because of the consumption!
"By the way, Mika, have you thought of a name for your new ability?" Gabriel asked curiously.
"Of course I have!"
Smiling, Mika said softly, "Let's call it 'Fire of the Right'!"
Mika had long realized that his surname from his previous life combined with his current name formed Mika-le, meaning Michael.
Associating this with his Patron Goddess Yahweh, a sense of destiny naturally arose.
But Mika wasn't particularly surprised by this.
After all, among the Many Familia, many members and their patron Gods had deep connections in their respective mythologies in other worlds.
Mika's appearance led to the descent of Yahweh, who hadn't appeared in the original work, to the human world.
For Mika, this was undoubtedly one of his most important encounters.
Whether this was destiny or not had no impact on him.
He really liked the environment he was in now.
The name 'Fire of the Right' came from the title of the person representing Michael in another anime Mika liked in his previous life, "A Certain Magical Index".
Mika felt that the name 'Fire of the Right' was also very suitable for his ability.
"Fire of the Right?"
Having come to the world of Demon Slayer and being equally well-versed in the Bible, Gabriel naturally understood Mika's meaning.
Thinking of this, her face was filled with smiles.
"It seems my efforts during this time have been worthwhile!" Gabriel said with a smile.
...
After helping Mika complete the development of Fire of the Right, Gabriel disappeared from Mika's side.
After all, as the star instructor of the Yahweh Familia, Mika wasn't the only one who needed her help.
This past month, after finishing Mika's affairs, she naturally rushed to Airmid and Mellie's side, trying to distribute her attention evenly.
Although Airmid and Mellie didn't mind her long-term guidance of Mika.
But Gabriel wouldn't do as they wished.
As Mika's right and left hands, their growth was also very important.
After Gabriel left, Mika began developing his own abilities.
In terms of developing potential aura quantity, Mika, who had long been guided by Yahweh, had always maintained a state of Ten, almost never stopping.
Besides strength, Mika had also mastered the four major principles of Nen and many application techniques.
As for the development of Nen abilities, Mika had never ceased.
For example, after confirming the materialization of 'Wings of Calamity' and armor, before coming to the Demon Slayer world, he had asked the Goibniu Familia to forge a sword-shield.
This sword-shield overall took the form of a small square shield that could be worn on the arm.
At the front of the sword-shield, there was even a blade protruding.
Through constant battles, Mika had gradually developed his own fighting style.
For him, the shield was extremely useful.
Besides participating in defense and offense, this shield also served a ceremonial purpose.
In the center of the shield was engraved the emblem of the Yahweh Familia, while around the edge of the shield, there was space left for more engravings.
Mika planned to engrave the unique emblem of each Yahweh Familia branch on the edge of the shield after establishing it in a new world.
This way, as Mika and his companions established more Yahweh Familia branches, more and more emblems would be engraved on the edge of Mika's shield.
This would showcase the heritage and majesty of the Yahweh Familia.
As for the shield's ability, Mika planned to set it up to devour different materials and gain different characteristic abilities.
For example, after devouring the Demon Slayer world's specialty 'Scarlet Ore', it would gain the power of the sun, cultivating it as a growable weapon.
Mika was very much looking forward to the future of this shield.
He even had a rough idea for its name.
For instance, the Shield of Yahweh!
---
"Phew!"
Exhaling deeply, Mika awakened from his meditation and opened his eyes.
Looking at the two Nichirin Blades placed on his lap, Mika's eyes contained a satisfied expression.
After Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the nine Hashira joined the Yahweh Familia, Mika and his three companions naturally became members of the Demon Slayer Corps without needing to pass any tests.
Upon joining the Demon Slayer Corps, they naturally received its benefits.
That included their own Nichirin Blades.
After receiving the Nichirin Blades sent by the swordsmiths, the blades activated by Mika's Flame Breathing naturally turned crimson red.
After this period of training, Mika had determined his development path in breathing styles, which was to simultaneously practice Water Breathing and Flame Breathing.
And to develop other possibilities with these as the core.
As for the Sun Breathing, considered the strongest in the Demon Slayer world?
Mika planned to incorporate it into his own breathing as nourishment.
As for the reason?
One could only say that Sun Breathing had its limitations.
In the Demon Slayer world, as the original breathing style, Sun Breathing's status was naturally irreplaceable.
Not to mention that its development of basic abilities was stronger than other breathing styles.
More importantly, it was its effectiveness against demons.
Sun Breathing was created with the core purpose of countering demons, and in this aspect, it naturally had an irreplaceable role that other breathing styles couldn't match.
But among Mika's future enemies, demons would be few and far between.
Unless he opened up a world exclusively for creatures weak to sunlight, like vampires.
This race would also be countered by Sun Breathing.
But in reality, most of Mika's enemies would still be humans and monsters not afraid of sunlight.
When dealing with these enemies, the unique features of Sun Breathing would disappear without a trace.
Therefore, compared to Sun Breathing, Mika was more inclined towards Water Breathing and Flame Breathing.
After Yahweh's modifications, these two breathing techniques had surpassed Sun Breathing in the development of basic abilities.
After all, in terms of vision and experience, Yoriichi Tsugikuni couldn't compare to Yahweh.
Having determined the path he wanted to take, Mika began developing his breathing techniques.
After obtaining knowledge of all breathing styles, Mika wanted to draw inspiration from other breathing styles to complete his modifications to Water Breathing and Flame Breathing.
After much consideration, he finally determined his goal.
That was Wind Breathing.
As one of the basic styles, after mastering Wind Breathing, one could slash out wind blades with powerful cutting force.
This ability, similar to projecting Sword Aura, greatly satisfied Mika.
Although Water Breathing formed a Sword Aura that wrapped around the blade like flowing water after formation, this Sword Aura could only be used to enhance the power of slashes!
"Taking the essence and discarding the dross?"
Upon hearing Mika's ideas, Gabriel's eyes were also filled with inspiration.
However, this time Mika didn't entirely rely on Gabriel's help. While deeply understanding the breathing techniques, he would ask Gabriel about problems he encountered.
This time, he wanted to complete the modification of these two breathing techniques with his own hands.
Through constant questioning and answering with Gabriel, Mika's understanding of swordsmanship and breathing techniques was rising rapidly.
"Since others can use Sun Breathing as a blueprint to create slightly weaker but uniquely characteristic basic breathings of Water, Flame, Thunder, Wind, and Stone,"
"Why can't I use these breathing techniques as a basis to create my own breathing techniques?"
"Even if the effects are slightly inferior, the key is their unique characteristics."
With this belief, Mika devoted all his time to studying breathing techniques and swordsmanship, except for basic training in various skills.
Finally, through his ingenious ideas, some characteristics of Wind Breathing and Sun Breathing were integrated into these two breathing techniques.
When Mika completed the basic structure of these two breathing techniques, he handed them over to Gabriel for refinement.
Based on Mika's physical information, Gabriel adjusted these two breathing techniques to the most suitable degree for Mika.
"It's done!"
Looking at Mika, who had thoroughly integrated these two new breathing techniques into his every movement, Gabriel curiously asked, "So, what are the names of these two new breathing techniques?"
"They are no longer breathing techniques like Water Breathing and Flame Breathing, they have more obvious characteristics. How do you want to call them?"
Slowly opening his eyes and looking at Gabriel floating in mid-air, Mika said softly,
"I've decided to call them Ice Breathing and Fire Breathing!"
"Ice and Fire? Indeed, they're tailor-made!"
Gabriel chuckled lightly, then suddenly quipped, "You three are truly teammates. While developing your Nen abilities, you're all improving your breathing techniques."
"Airmid and Mellie also modified their breathing techniques?"
Mika asked in surprise.
During this period, the three of them had been immersed in their own training, hardly meeting each other.
"That's right. After learning Stone Breathing and Thunder Breathing, Airmid combined Stone Breathing and Water Breathing to develop Wood Breathing."
"At the same time, she has researched Thunder Breathing to an extremely profound level."
"As for Mellie, after obtaining knowledge of various breathing techniques, she developed Illusion Breathing, which is most suitable for her."
"I must say, you three are really alike!"
After hearing Gabriel's comments, Mika said with a smile, "Of course, after all, we're not just companions, but also family!"
"It's natural for family members to be similar."
Thinking of Airmid and Mellie's progress, Mika's heart was filled with joy.
Indeed, joy shared is joy doubled.
The happiness gained from one person's progress can't compare to the happiness gained from everyone's progress together.
...
After completing the modification of the breathing techniques, Mika's state changed from complete seclusion to semi-seclusion.
Therefore, Mika finally met Tanjiro, who had returned from completing a mission, and learned about the recent changes in the Demon Slayer Corps from him.
"Mika, of the three major techniques you mentioned, apart from Transparent World which only the Stone Hashira and Mist Hashira have mastered, everyone has mastered the other two techniques."
Hearing Tanjiro's words, Mika nodded slightly.
This wasn't surprising to him.
Mika told them about the three major techniques of swordsmen.
Namely, Transparent World, Demon Slayer Mark, and Bright Red Blade.
Among these three techniques, Bright Red Blade was the easiest to master.
After receiving the techniques taught by Gabriel, everyone quickly mastered it.
Therefore, the focus of the nine Hashira's learning was still on Transparent World and Demon Slayer Mark.
Compared to the elusive Transparent World, once one person obtained the Demon Slayer Mark, others would soon follow, and everyone had grasped the pattern, just waiting to activate it during the final battle.
Only Transparent World, this technique made people feel most puzzled.
But even so, some people quickly mastered it.
They were Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, known as the strongest among the nine Hashira.
And the absolute genius, Muichiro Tokito, who became a Hashira after wielding a sword for only two months.
Only these two had mastered this technique.
"But this doesn't matter. Although they haven't mastered Transparent World now, I think when it comes to the final battle, when they need to use all their strength, they will definitely be able to master this technique."
"After all, they are the strongest generation of the Demon Slayer Corps since Muzan Kibutsuji's birth, except for the first generation that had Yoriichi Tsugikuni!"
Mika said with a light laugh.
