91 Magic and Symbiote (#4) [Slightly Edited]

[Congratulations, you found a Magic Tome!]

Killing those Corrupted Souls not only increased his [MP], but after he killed so many of them, he got a glowing red book, a magic tome, that would teach him a complete new type of magic. He tried giving to Eddie to see if he could learn magic from that book, but apparently only he can use those tomes, so he used it and learned:

[Congratulations, you learned the Magic: Aquamancy (Create and Manipulate Water, cannot turn it into Ice)]

[With -Mancy type magics, you can create your own spells! You can also get a title related to your Mancy Magic!]

[Specified terms of Mancy Magic

 -mance: to carry out a specified form of magic (Exmaple: Aquamance carries some sort of Water magic!)

 -mancer: a person who employs a specified form of magic (Aquamancer is a title for when you become proficient with manny spells of the water element.)

 -mantic: of or pertaining to a specified form of magic (Something that makes part of a Mancy magic, like a magic spell component that can be consumed to increase the power of a spell!)]

It was impressive, and now with his new magic, they never would run out of water to drink. It has been 24 hours ever since they arrived on Pandemonium, this terrible hell dimension, Derek has been searching this entirr place with Eddie for so long that their stomachs started to growl in protest, they needed something to eat! But they had nothing, well, Derek could now at least create water to drink as well as symbols with [Water] Element on it- Which was interesting, after he got his Aquamancy Magic, he learned instantly two new symbols:

The [Push] Symbol, and the [Pull] Symbol, which is what the ocean most does! And these two symbols were of the [Utility] category, they could be used- as the name says- to pull and push something. The only problem is that he needed another rune to use them, he could use it perfectly with his [String] symbol, adding [Pull] to it would automatically pull with twice the strenght something to him or him to something, and [Push] could be used perfectly with [Shield], [Punch], and [Arrow] because it could sent the enemy back a few feet, knockback was good.

Let's see his status?

These spells he created, well, all he had to do was use his energy and create water, manipulate it, and then shape it to attack or defend himself- Such easy use of magic was limited only hy his imagination itself. "Derek!" Eddie's sudden shout broke him out of his thoughts as Venom was licking his shoulder, he was shirtless- After all the walking around, running, and killing, he got tired. and now Venom decided to 'groom' him like a cat- which was acrually pretty comfortable, but Eddie's voice carried a sense of urgency and fear in it, making him snap out of his relaxed state and look forward, where a large black demon stood.

It started speaking in some language, but Derek has been killing so many Demons that his title got upgraded twice!

[Experience Demon Hunter: Increased damaged dealt to Demonic beings by 30%, also Increases knowledge on Demons and Hells.]

He now had a higher access to knowledge about demons, including their habits and languages, and he could speak them too! It was so natural for him to speak those languages- Many of them, each for every type of demon from different hells! From the Nine Hells (One language per layer), for the Abyss (Infinite Lnaguages, he can't speak all of them, but he can understand and speak Abyssal fluently, which is kinda the universal language of the Abyss, so that's good), from Gennema (There's 7 layers there, each layer has it's own language) and now from Pandemonium, which had only one infinite layer, they were on the underground portion of this dimension, this portion went infinitly down till there was no more light, there lived the Nightmare Demons (that lived on many Hells) as well as Pure Evils, which were very powerful demons- To this dimension there was also a surface, which is where Derek wants to go due to the fact that the exit of this realm is there.

"A human soul..." The demon in front of them had the form of a goat on it's two feet, looking at them with black, void eyes. "Interesting! It's been a while since i feasted on humans..." Derek could understand what the goat was saying, but Eddie only heard whispers of dark echoes in the walls that reflected the bleeds and gost noises, accompained by screams and wails- That was something he didn't know could be produced from vocal cords! And Derek surprised him even further when he simply looked at the goat and immitated it perfectly, almost too perfectly. "Yo bitch, don't you dare try to touch my boy here. I'll beat your ass so bad you'll go to heaven!" Strategy one, when afraid, immitate the most brave person you know- Which in Derek's case was a gangster he grew up close to- The guy was 5'4 and could beat up a 6'5 guy without sweating!

He was so cool in Derek's kid-but-not-really-kid's eyes...

Long may he reign.

"What..?" The goat tilted it's head, clearly confused a human could speak their language, the Pandemic- No, wrong thing, Pandeminic, the languange of the demons of Pandemonium. "How can a human speak our language so perfeclty?" His voice carried his doubt to Derek's ears, who scoffed- Time to lie to a demon and see if it works! "it's because i ain't puny human, dumbass! And this, is my food, so don't even think about getting it, or else i'll break yo bitch ass!" Derek was hoping deception could get him out of this one, he grabbed Eddie by the waist and threw him on his shoulder, carrying him like a sack of potatoes forward, ready to cast [Water Prison] if necessary.

[Water Prison] was exactly what the name said, itwould lock someone inside a sphere of water as long as he focuses. That's the thing about [Mancy] Magic, it needs focus , will, and imagination to cast, which he has, thanks all the Gods.

"Oh well, hum..." The goat just stared at them before Derek passed by him, ready to react to any attack, a [Shield] Symbol ready to be drawn by his fingers, when he went by the goat and started to get the high ground- since they were going up- he felt the attack and he reacted accordingly. A light blue barrier stopped the leg of the goat who suddenly was behind him, kicking towards his head, Derek clicked his tongue as Eddie became Venom as he rolled from Derek's hold and began the fight with a tentacle strike forward. The goat dodged the black tentacle that Venom used to strike, but Derek reacted really well, realeasing the symbols he had stored for later-

Another thing he learned, symbols would only activate if he gives it the go, he could literally bring them with him and use it when he wants to! He opened the palm of his hand, a bunch of blue thin threads of energy grabbed the floating symbols and moved them quickly to the position that he wanted them to be- Like they were balloons. At the same time, they all activated! Derek had taken in consideration what he would use the most, his energy was delepted instantly as hundreds of arrows rained towards the goat- Because symbols could be fused, if Derek placed two of the symbol together, they would fuse into the same rune- The only diference it's that it could be used twice before dissapearing, like it had received an extra charge for an extra attack.

So Derek tested the limit of that, he could store up to 100 of the same symbol and still keep it a single symbol, it rejected any other symbol if it had 100 already, and now, with 10 runes filled with 100 of the same runes around him and controlling them, Derek shot all of the arrows forward, like a machine gun. Venom and Eddie were also attacking the thing- Well, they and Derek had a plan, together they would hold the enemy still as possible while Derek uses his magic to destroy the enemy, and now the result of their plan came to fruition! The large black tentacles of venom succesfully held down the goat, who only looked up in fear as hundreds of blue arrows of energy impaled their body, it screamed so loud Venom felt pain, but he did not let go of the goat until it was a porcupine.

Then, Derek heard on his head:

[Congratulations, you killed a Capricornius Pendemonius Sinnistrus, or a Goat Demon of Pandemonium, you received [2,000] MP!]

[Your title [Experiecend Demon hunter] is upgraded to [Very Experienced Demon Hunter]

-Separation Line-

Derek was impressed by the amount of MP he could get from a goat demon, he also learned a lot of things about demons and hells, he even learned a way to go back which was slightly simple- He just needed to make his own hole on this dimension if he couldn't find one, but from Pandemonium, depending on the color of the hole, he would be sent to another hell or another dimension that they were technically invading, so maybe the Sorcerers of that world could mistaken them for Interdimensional evils and try to banish them...

To go back to their dimension slash universe, he would need to know Portal Creation- A spell of the Eldritch Magic that Sorcerers knows, which he did not know at all. If they found a hole on the ground, they would end up on Gehenna (For some reason Pandemonium is "above" Gehenna) If they found a hole on the right side of a wall, they would end up on another reality, because most holes from the right side go through the Abyss, which is chaotic that it makes any hole to their dimension go crazy and send whoever goes hrough into a random dimension.

The only way to certainly leave this dimension and go back to their dimension would go through a hole on the sky.

Because holes from the sky are more alinged with their energy, getting easily influenced by wherever they want to go- Which Derek could make it send them back to earth- the only problem is that they will appear somewhere random on earth, which could end up not so great for them.

"Eddie, i know how to bring us back home." He turned to look at a tired Eddie, who panted as he transformed back into his human form, his voice made Eddie look at him with both a questioning and hopeful look, but Derek offered him his hand, his shirtless upper body looked really very... enticing looking from below- Okay get those horny thoughts out your mind Eddie! "Really? how?"

"Well, we just need to go up until we until find a hole on the sky, but the higher we go, the stronger the demons become." Derek sighed before looking at him, he placed a hand on his chin before he thought for a second: "I think i can get you to kill demons, or do real damage to them..." Both Venom and Eddie were curious about that, but then Derek's words stunned the poor virgin (not really virgin) innocent (not really innocent), sweet (yeah, he is) Eddie who blushed red as he heard them: "But for me to do that, I need you to get naked."
