As time passed and the Sun rose to its highest point in the sky, the temperature in the bloody wastelands also rose, and by midday it was a warm 20 degrees Celsius compared to the morning.
Christel has spent the whole morning taking a pen and a rough scrap of parchment to make a small dictionary. With the help of the stone of contract, the apprentice priestess girls have marked the meaning of each word, as well as the pronouns and types of conjunction words. Learning a new language is something that takes a long time, but thanks to Christel's practice of speaking several languages, progress is going faster, so she believes that in a few hours she will be able to study the analysis spell.
After a simple and ordinary lunch with the female priestess apprentices, Christel also learned how to inject mana into the magic matrix. Although this matrix is a very advanced design, due to lack of materials, Akara cannot make a better one that is self-sufficient, so energy must be injected into the matrix from time to time.
Christel has also been very interested in the amber gem, which is called the Devil's Contract Stone, a gem structurally created by the devils who inhabit hell in order to communicate with humans and make contracts. The Devils do not bother to learn the language they consider primitive from mundane beings, and much less will they wait for these earthly bugs, as the devils call humans, to learn the devil's language, so at the beginning to corrupt humans they spoke to them through dreams on a spiritual level. Although a lot of energy was needed for that since they had to transmit their spirit between the wall of the plane that separated them from the material world and the dimension of hell.
So it is believed that it was Diablo who designed this type of stones to facilitate communication, although the devils have not confirmed this it seems that it was Diablo who designed the first cell phone for inter-dimensional communication. By the way, here Diablo refers to one of the three great devils of hell, with the word -devil- to all the other servants, but not all servants reach the status of devil.
"Sister Aliza, so this phrase means..."
"That's right, Christel, you learn very quickly..."
"All thanks to your patience..."
Moments after eating the snack, Christel finished translating the analysis spell for her understanding and with the help of the six apprentice priestess girls, she understood if not 100% at least 80% of the basic concepts of magic. She thought that the girls would be a little apprehensive about teaching someone who is no better than a 2-year-old child who can't even talk. But to Christel's surprise, these girls were very enthusiastic since the morning to teach her everything they could, you could say that they hardly even practiced their work just to be teachers for a moment.
'Maybe it's very interesting for them to go from being students to being teachers' Christel, like the good, polite girl that she is, praised them and covered them with honey whenever she could. Aliza is the oldest, being approximately 18 years old, she is 165 centimeters tall with dark brown hair that is lighter at the tips, like blonde.
There are also Visala and Visanti, who are incredibly twins. On the aqua blue planet it is practically impossible to find stories of twins. Most likely, when they are born they will be murdered because they are believed to be children of the devil, if a woman can survive such a high-risk pregnancy at that time. And here are two who have already passed the age of 16, with black hair that looks blue when it reflects light and blue eyes as clear as water.
Gwinni and Elexa, who are 15 years old and who, in the country of the Center of the Moon, are already considered young ladies and by tradition a 15th birthday party is held for them, have brown hair, with Elexa being lighter than Gwinni. And the youngest Roxene, who was in charge of looking for Christel in the morning, has lighter brown hair and hazel eyes.
With her help, Christel is about to cast her first magic in the world of Sanctuary. Unlike Akara who can cast this type of magic almost instinctively, Christel had to concentrate her energy and form a pentagram in the palm of her hand, outlining lines until forming a triangle, the complicated thing is to draw an ellipse inside the triangle and a waning moon inside it, but with the complete circle, it is rather to draw two circles, one inside the other, smaller but attached to the other's wall, forming a kind of waning moon, all this in an ellipse that is inside a perfect triangle.
All these strokes to design the pentagram, which shouldn't even be called a pentagram since it's just a three-sided triangle, have to follow an order, and that order has to match the movement of mana within oneself. 'Pff~ I prefer the magic in Harry Potter where you just have to wave and chant.'
If the magic represented on the outer pentagram, like above the palm of the hand, does not match the movement of mana within the body, the pentagram collapses and if you force it you will only be shooting mana as if a jet of water was coming out of a hose, 'at least in magic of this type there is no magical rebound for doing it wrong, and it is like in the ninja world, if you do not do the seals well and move the chakra correctly, at most you end up with a deformed clone that cannot stand and is pitiful lying on the ground'
And so, after the guidance of the girls, reviewing the basics, and rereading the parchment of structuring and casting the analysis spell, under the amazement of the apprentice priestesses, Christel cast the medical analysis magic on herself. And under her closed eyes, Christel saw her body with a very strange sensory sensation, it was like having virtual reality glasses and exploring her tissues and cells as if under a microscope.
In Christel's hand, the pentagram of the analysis spell spun beautifully in a sense of geometry and architecture, like a 3D projection design. The apprentice priestess girls fell silent as they watched Christel handle her spell. This spell is used to help heal wounds, detect if there is internal damage, or where the poison has gone if the patient has been poisoned or has a curse on their body.
Christel could control her vision from a type of scanner that examined her entire body at once until she focused her vision on a certain area or organ. While examining her body, Christel passed by an area and saw something that almost made her lose control of the spell and her 3D model in her palm almost dissolved.
'What!!!...' Christel saw something that made her heart stop for a moment, giving her a huge fright. Focusing her gaze on her belly, or more precisely her uterus, she saw a happy cell dancing and shining with its own energy. Inside it there is a whitish liquid that her body is currently absorbing, but also that small cell, or not, group of cells also feed on the liquid as a source of energy and that gives it shelter.
'That stupid succubus, she's not only a fast shooter but also an accurate shooter' Christel remembered what Alysha said in the morning, Akara surely detected her cycle when analyzing her, but on her trip back to the blue planet she was obviously in her strongest period as Akara commented. Christel felt her heart racing, right now it's the first time she feels something yes, in her previous life she never faced something like this. Maybe if she had had a girlfriend, but her position would be very different, and obviously she would be very happy, but now.
'A method, could it be frozen?' Christel is not a green scarf activist, he definitely won't do that, he is a CEO who has had big projects, and when there have been problems, he has known how to solve them and make the best of them. There is magic in this world, everything can be possible.
'Freeze it in time' A thought arose within Christel's heart, and from the depths of her soul an energy was released. As she said those words within her mind, Christel felt her body react. It is known, by common knowledge, that when a woman has a cyst on her ovaries, it hurts. Christel felt a sensation of numbness, as if that specific area was shutting down, just in a suspended state, waiting for orders, like when she lowers the lid of her laptop and the entire system goes to sleep with the minimum energy consumption.
Christel was not happy to see this, she must have learned that she could do this the day before yesterday, but. 'What do I do with you, can I send you to sleep too?' Christel focused her vision of the analysis magic on the small set of cells that is no longer her but someone new.
All around them, the girls noticed Christel's change of emotion, how her body trembled and how the corners of her eyes filled with tears. They wanted to ask what was going on, but they couldn't interrupt. When suddenly, the pentagram floating in Christel's hand lit up in another color and the lines changed. The triangle stopped being a triangle and became a circle, then an aqua blue square. The eye in the center with a waning moon transformed into a pink flower with ellipses around a small yellow circle, the new ellipses as nine petals in a row with three rows, for a total of twenty-seven petals. A larger ellipse transformed on the left side of the flower as a green leaf and on the right side a green vine appeared like a whip.
The 3D projection was so beautiful that the girls who were apprentice priestesses were fascinated. But they were still worried about the change they felt since Christel.
Christel's entire skin began to glow, as well as her golden hair from within, as if an immense energy that could not be overshadowed by her body. Christel, concentrating on the changes within him, saw how the cellular activity of the small group of cells was reduced until it reached zero, with her thought she instinctively guided the little one to remain in the uterine infundibulum, all the whitish liquid was actively absorbed by the walls of the uterus leaving a drop around it forming a small pearl, then Christel saw how a small membrane was formed covering it completely.
Christel could still feel him, it seemed like he was just asleep. She didn't know if someone else had this ability or it was part of Akara's medical analysis spell, maybe the spell is unique to the blind eye sisters and may come from the Askari for birth control. But whatever the reason is it doesn't matter, Christel is happy now that her heart is at peace, at least she can wait until she is older and not bring a storm to her mother who will surely hang her from a tree in the backyard of the new house if she finds out.
Christel now just wants to teach the naughty Maria a lesson, but when she was imagining a plan of torment for the succubus who only knows how to turn on the television and lie on the couch, the sound of bells was heard.
*Trrring trrring*
Christel opened her eyes as she stood up at the same time as the apprentice priestess girls. They all ran outside with their small staffs and Christel followed them, now she has no weapons and she doesn't know what Akara did with the black staff of the fallen Boss that gave that loot in the cave of evil.
Outside, Christel looks at the sky beyond the clouds and feels that it is about 5 pm. A group of female rogues with bows climbed the wall of wooden logs, while another group with spears and daggers at their waists prepared for battle at the camp gate.
"What's going on?" Christel asked as soon as she saw the leaders of the Rogue Camp, Akara, Kashya and Charsi, there is also Warriv the leader of a trade caravan and Gheed a traveling merchant who is now traveling with Warriv and whom everyone except Charsi hates for being greedy.
"Oh~ already learning to speak the common language little girl..."
"I'm not a child..."
"That doesn't matter now, Flavie and her group standing guard at the edges of the wastelands and cold plains have returned with news of a wave of fallen approaching the camp."
"Hmm, give me a bow, I can fight outside..."
"Christel, you don't need to take any risks..."
"Sister Akara, believe me... it's the least I can do..."
"Here you go girl..." Kashya threw her a small bow, but it has a beauty.
"It's not a simple bow and if you have enough mana you can shoot magic arrows without needing arrows"
"Thank you, I'll give it back to you later"
"It doesn't matter, I can get it back from your corpse..."
"Kashya!" Akara reacted like a mother when her daughter speaks badly in public
"hehehe So this is little Christel, I've heard a lot about you, I'm Charsi"
A tall, very big and strong woman approached Christel and patted her shoulders with both hands, Christel feels like she almost falls apart under these -pats-. The blacksmith leader of the Rogue Camp and the Brotherhood of the Blind Eye, Although she doesn't look like a Rambo Barbie as she has always imagined, under that leather overalls you can see a pair of enormous mountains that challenge to destroy heaven and earth. She has a beautiful and delicate face despite her profession, a strong waist and very wide hips with a spectacular well-formed butt and thick legs inside leather pants.
"Hello Sister Charsi"
"So this is Christel, you really are so beautiful, and those eyes are like those of the Ventrue Family, a beautiful pink color like those creatures of the night. I'm Warriv, if you want to buy something don't hesitate to tell me."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Warriv, and I am not from that family you are talking about."
"Ha ha ha, and tell me little one, how much would your family pay if I took you home..." A fat man dressed ostentatiously who was standing next to Warriv spoke with a loud laugh and a look of 'how to make money'
"If it's to help me get back, my family might give you a big reward, but if it's to get the kidnapping label, I might not know how you disappeared if the people around me in my town found out. 'You would literally be disappeared by demons from another dimension.'"
"Ha ha ha ha, just kidding little Christel, I'm Gheed, a merchant who has traveled far and wide and found wonderful but unknown treasures, you can also come to my shop and see if there's anything you like or play gacha and maybe win a divine artifact or one with an unbreakable curse."
"I'll think about it, Mr. Gheed."
"Alright, if you're done with your presentation, prepare for combat and non-combatants, please find a safe area." Charsi who was about to speak for Gheed, was instantly interrupted by Kashya.
"Christel, if you're going to fight outside, stay by my side, don't worry, I'll protect you." After pouting at Kashya, Charsi said to the little blonde girl with golden hair and swinging a large two-handed hammer.
"Good.!"
Christel replied firmly, she has a lot of feelings inside her chest now, and she needs a place to vent them, and now, with a wave of enemies approaching, they seem to be her best prepared targets.
The tears that had formed in the corners of Christel's eyes faded as she trotted towards the outskirts of the camp. All the leaders noticed those tears, but, although they don't know the reason, they can understand that perhaps the little girl feels far from home and misses her family, so Akara and Kashya let the others introduce themselves and divert their attention.
But now, we must also concentrate on the fight ahead.
