Re-injecting the "cursed substance" that had been extracted from Willy's body with great difficulty was very dangerous for anyone to understand.

However, for Maca, who already has a considerable understanding of this substance, only by doing so can he transform the soul rules contained in it into a power that can be driven by himself with the greatest efficiency.

Yes, in fact, if you follow a more conservative approach, Maca is not unable to extract the rule runes from it, and gradually grasp this branch of the soul rule in further research, just like he learned "arrogance" from the Monument of Bewitchment.

And before that, although the progress was slow due to various busyness, he was indeed studying it steadily.

But in the current situation, he really didn't have that time to waste.

"Delphi, go back! Don't worry, I won't mess around - even if I do plan to stay, it will only be after I have successfully achieved the strength to protect myself! You should know, I'm not the kind of person who insists on going to death even though I know it's going to die......"

Persuaded by Maca's kind words, Delphi finally compromised. However, before leaving the study, she still couldn't help but leave a sentence that made Maca feel helpless.

"I'm not going to tell Miss Granger about this...... But remember, whether you succeed or not, I'll be where you are! ”

After saying this, she pursed her lips and hurried out the door, leaving no more chance for Maca to speak.

"Mr. McLean," said Blois, looking at the door that had been closed again, "I think she is serious. ”

"Of course, I know."

Maca sighed, and after a few seconds of silence, she put aside the complicated emotions caused by Delphi's words for the time being, and said instead:

"Mr. Blois, let's get started as soon as possible!"

"You—" Blois frowned again when he heard this, "may I confirm again, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"Sure."

……

It's not for nothing that Maca is so determined—after injecting that test-tube "cursed substance" into his body, he knows exactly what he's up against.

After all, as far as he has always been cautious, he will never joke with his life easily.

And perhaps for the same reason, Delphi, who once possessed that soul rule rune, was obviously more concerned about Maca's idea of wanting to stay alone, rather than the intention of obtaining the rule rune from that substance.

It's just that it is not easy to forcibly master the second branch of soul rules in such a crude way!

"Shhhh

As soon as he injected half of the viscous blood-colored substance into his body, Maca clearly felt a majestic force spreading to his whole body along the meridians of his blood vessels.

Although Maca's magic power has dried up, her mental power has long been completely restored. But it is precisely because of this that he dares to make such an attempt, which is extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

"Matter drives appearance, spirit deduces rules", this truth was already said by him in his first year at Hogwarts.

"This ...... It's much more ruthless than 'arrogance'! ”

After forcibly suppressing the imminent power in her body with her own tenacious mental power, Maca muttered quietly while absorbing all the red liquid in the test tube into her body.

The next moment, he casually threw the empty test tube to the ground and stood alone in the center of the huge study...... As the muscles all over his body tensed involuntarily, there were even obvious green tendons on his forehead.

However, it must be noted that the "cursed substance" injected into the body does not bring any physical pain to Maca, and at the moment Maca's body does not feel any discomfort.

Not only that, but in fact, as long as Maca didn't resist, the power that was currently boiling in his body wouldn't even hurt him.

That's right, just like Willy at the beginning, this so-called "curse" that exists in her bloodline will only hurt other people around her.

However, Maca is not trying to turn herself into a "humanoid radiation weapon" that cannot be turned off right now! What he hopes for is to be able to truly control this harmful power and completely transform it into his own strength.

Possessing the "Arrogance" rune, he knew that he had to completely suppress this power that he was eager to release in his body first, and only by doing so could he truly begin to understand the mystery of its rules.

The huge mental pressure made his expression gradually hideous.

And while Maca struggled tenaciously with that force, Mr. Blois stood outside the sealing magic circle he had drawn, staring closely at Maca who was standing in the center of the formation.

As soon as Maca signaled to him, he would immediately activate the magic circle completely, helping Maca forcibly seal the restless power.

For a while, the study became silent.

In this way, Maca stood there motionless for nearly half an hour.

"Even under such a powerful stimulus, there is no sign of the magic awakening?" Suddenly, Maca, who was continuing to insist, couldn't help but whisper to herself, "Or is this kind of soul-level stimulation actually not related to the awakening of magic power?" ”

From this sentence, it can be heard that Maca is not entirely doing this to quickly master the soul rule rune, he is actually still hoping to restore his magic power in this way.

He knew that as long as he could activate even a trace of mana during this period, then his mana depletion problem would be half solved.

Many things, as long as they are started, there is hope that they will continue until the end.

“…… Not. ”

Maybe it was the long standing that made Maca feel tired. Although his face was a little less hideous than it seemed at first, it was replaced by a pale color that gradually faded from blood.

To be honest, Maca really didn't expect that before that power got out of control, he seemed to be going to lose on the physical strength that had not yet recovered!

Thinking so, he couldn't help but slowly sit on the floor, trying to save more physical strength for himself to hold on while maintaining the suppression of the strength in his body.

It wasn't until another half an hour passed that the Soul Rule finally showed Maca its most primitive appearance little by little.
