A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 72: Present to My Disciple
Since I had already given a piece of Armor Equipment to my first disciple, it was only natural for me to equip it with a new weapon. I'm right, aren't I?
Not to mention the Staff he has now is nothing more than a rookie Staff you can find in the store.
And as for what kind of staff I'm going to give, it's being arranged.
Do you remember that godforsaken staff I took from Uncle Dominic? That's right, Staff is what I'm going to give him.
Of course I wouldn't give it to him just like that. I mean, that Staff will make him unable to use any other magic other than [Black Magic] and its derivatives.
That's why I'm thinking of modifying it first.
The reason why it was only now that I did so was because I originally did not know how to 'Holyen' the cursed Equipment. That's why all this time I just kept it in a special storage place deep in my basement.
However, with the help of my beloved sister, Rosemary. Yang is a Witch who is an expert in [Holy Magic] we can definitely do something... Don't you?
"Hey, Mary. You know how to make a cursed Equipment to no longer be damned right?"
"of course. But there was a high chance that the Equipment would lose most or even all of its power"
So anyway...
Oh yes, if not wrong the crown I wear is also initially in a weak condition because it has been purified by the Narsist Kingdom. It was only when I touched her that this crown returned to its present state
be revived.
Then there is no problem, after all from the beginning I did want to modify the Staff to be able to suit the needs of my students.
"Master, I've brought it"
What Sechs brought was a Dragon Claw-shaped Staff holding a crystal ball. Using [Psychokinesis] I brought the Staff closer to me.
The reason why I didn't want to touch it directly was because I didn't want to lose all of the Skills I had already worked so hard to obtain. While the reason why Sechs was able to hold the Staff without any problems was because he was a Golem so the Staff's curse had no effect on him.
"Sister, is this the cursed Equipment you mean?"
"really so. If you ask, I got this from Uncle Dominic"
"Dominic? Geez, Grandma would be upset if she heard that"
"Haha... I can imagine it"
Before Mary begins to purify the Staff, let's look back at the original performance before it changes.
\ ★★★★★
«Darkness Enchant : EX Large» «Cursed Holder : Darkness»
A cursed Staff taken from the corpse of a Sacred Beast that upholds justice and equality.
Strengthen all magic with the element of darkness significantly and make its user invincible in the darkness.
Terms of use: Possess [Darkness Magic].
Side effect: As it brings the fury of a tragically killed Sacred Beast, anyone using this Staff will be cursed to lose all of its magic except magic with the element of darkness.
"Teacher, this Staff..."
"Oh, you better not hold it. Wait until we finish modifying it until you can use it without any problems"
Taking my students away, we made room for Mary to do her job.
Concentrating, Mary began to recite the mantra using an ancient language which I will translate for you.
"Oh holy light, hear your daughter's do'a"
"Holyen all the wrongs that exist in this Staff"
"Oh holy light, grant your daughter this do'a"
"Pure all the dirt that touches this Staff"
(Sanctification)
A golden light began to coat and remained as it was until it was exactly five minutes long.
Simultaneously a sort of black smoke was seen evaporating leaving the Staff and nowhere to be seen again.

«Darkness Enchant : Large»
A Staff taken from the corpse of a Sacred Beast that upholds justice and equality.
Strengthen all magic with the element of darkness and make its user a formidable opponent in the darkness.
Terms of use: Possess [Darkness Magic].
Ahhe... Although his curse had indeed been lifted, his star was reduced by two and his ability to raise the dark element was reduced.
"Well, as feared. Sorry if the power is reduced quite drastically"
"It's okay, it's as expected... Because it can help me draw runes on this crystal?"
I then handed Mary three (Aqua Crystal) pieces along with the equipment needed to draw the Runes that Grandma gave me.
"Maybe, what rune should I draw?"
"Hm... Can you describe runes for healing, light, and purity? Ah, don't forget the Run is only on the second level"
Allowing Mary to do her job, I started drawing my own parts.
"Luna, even though it's still too early, but please pay attention to us"
"Be prepared!"
Housed in the living room, Mary and I began drawing runes on (Aqua Crystal) while being watched by Luna.
Sechs I told him to go back to his workshop while Milim was somehow still here and instead started writing something in the corner.
Not bothering me, I started to concentrate.
Because Mary drew runes that were useful for healing, light, and purity. Then it is appropriate that I draw Runes that are useful for disease, darkness, and immorality.
Just like magic, runes also have three levels.
That is, the first level whose effect is small and temporary. The second level whose effects can last for a long time. And the last third level whose effect is permanent but must require special materials
to be applied.
(Aqua Crystal) that we use is from my own Dungeon which is quite special because it is able to store one second level rune easily. When compared to other (Mana Crystal) sold in the market, the quality is clearly much higher.
Unfortunately there are still no Adventurers who managed to reach the Southern Forest so no one has managed to find this crystal.
Since each of us only had to draw three runes, we were able to finish quickly.
Gathering all the finished crystals, I immediately pinned them to .
After that I then drew some runes on the Staff rod using the language of the Devil (Demon).
"Luna, can you give me a few strands of your hair and a few drops of your blood?"
"Eh? Ah, I mean, well"
For Luna's hair just to comb for a while and I've got a strand of her hair. Which I tied directly to the Staff. As for the blood, Luna slightly injured her fingertips
and directly smeared his injured finger onto the surface of the crystal ball that was on the Staff's head.
"Alright, all the preparations are done, let's head to the Altar!"
...
"Sister, with all due respect, why did you take off your clothes?"
"Ba-good!"
Putting the Staff into the center of the altar, I then lighted the entire torch that surrounded the altar using (Fire Control), with this then the preparation to perform the ritual is completely finished.
Closing my eyes, I began to concentrate.
Stripping my Staff to the floor firmly, I began to dance.
A dance I made myself for the sake of ritual. A dance that I have perfected since I came to this world.
Kicking my Staff once again, I started dancing around the altar.
Feeling the Mana around me begin to absorb into my pores, I started to cast spells.
"O Dragon Staff, listen to my word"
"You damned are now pure again"
"O Dragon Staff, Almighty Staff"
"Your former power is no more"
"Therefore, let me give you back your glory as before"
The mana scattered in the air now began to circle the Altar with me being the center. The torches that were originally flaming reddish now began to glow purplishly.
Different from the previous one, I now feel that I am able to absorb more Mana in the air than before.
Having no reason not to do so, I also started to attract more Mana again.
The mana revolving around me now began to form a whirlwind that could even be witnessed by the naked eye.
Since I was concentrating, I had no idea what Mary and Luna were doing. But it seems Mary feels unsafe to watch up close so she invites Luna to retreat deep into the
backside.
Without noticing them, I resumed my tidying.
"Receive my strength and you will return to power"
"In exchange protect my disciples from peril"
Channeling the Mana that I had previously absorbed towards the Staff, now the Staff became the center of the extraordinary Mana Vortex.
The crystal ball that was on the Staff's head now started to glow purplishly with the Dragon's feet grasping it began to grow dark purple scales that were shiny and intimidating.
"O Dragon Staff, thank you and present yourself to my disciple, Luna"
"Protect him, guide him, give him strength, and obey all his commands"
(Nature Creation)
An explosion of Mana was created which I managed to point up into the sky at the last moment. After the explosion, it disappeared, all that was left was a Staff shaped like shiny purple Dragon claws holding a crystal ball that emitted a purplish light before it finally subsided and returned to being an ordinary clear crystal ball.
•[Mana Manipulation] has reached level 10, getting 1SP•
•[Magic Expert] has reached level 10, getting 1SP•
•[Greater Mana Enchant] has reached level 15, getting 1SP•
•[Greater Mana Recovery] has reached level 15, getting 1SP•
•[Dance] has reached level 10, getting 1SP•
•(Sacred Dance) from (Dance)•
•[Clear Mind] has reached level 5, getting 1SP•
Huh, it was unexpectedly quite exhausting as well.
Putting my clothes back on, I brought this new Staff to my disciple who was also walking towards me.
"The Forest Dwellers, Luna. In order to formalize our relationship as Teachers and Disciples, please accept this Staff as proof of our relationship"
Despite looking nervous, Luna still extended her hand to receive the Staff I gave her.
"Sa-I gladly accept it"
And with this is also our legitimate relationship as Teachers and Students.
By the way I just realized that this inauguration ritual was from Mary while we were drawing runes.
Luna began to pay attention to her new Staff before her eyes widened as if in disbelief.
"Teacher, is this right for me?!"
"Oh, of course. This staff is already officially yours so it can't be returned anymore"
Here's what happens if the child passes simple in the love of luxury goods. They must have fallen so bad.
Right, before you guys get curious, this is the result of the Staff I just strengthened!

«Darkness Enchant : Large» «Illusion Enchant : Large» «Self-Healing : Medium» «Purification : Small»
«Inflict Alment : Small» «Inflict Lust : Small»
A Staff taken from the corpse of a Sacred Beast that upholds justice and equality.
Strengthen all magic with the element of darkness significantly and make its user invincible in the darkness.
Thanks to the intervention of the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender. This staff gained a whole new range of powers.
Among them, strengthening illusion magic, giving the ability to heal themselves, able to purify all unclean, and able to give disease and increase the appetite of the opponent even if only a little.
Terms of use: Only able to be used by the Disciple of the Lavender Witch, Luna.
It turned out that it was true, the source of Luna's [Illusion Magic] was indeed connected to her blood which meant that it had been inherited from her family.
Huh... Honestly, I became jealous of this Staff's ability to automatically heal wounds. But considering that Luna does not have healing magic, then this function is very meaningful to her.
"Sister, are you done? We need to get home soon because two hours of big meetings are coming up"
"Ah, right, meeting... I have to attend yah?"
"Of course, if I'm the MANDATORY attend let alone you're the oldest"
If it's not wrong, it's a meeting after dusk, right? What time is it? If there is no life, it is difficult to determine the time.
Never mind, I better just obey and head back to Sol Ciel.
...
Returning to the 'Room' where I live from today, Mary said goodbye first because there was still some business she had to finish.
With this only I and Luna left.
"I'm sure my servants have finished arranging the room, how about we eat first? I heard that Zweite has recently received cooking lessons from an Adventurer. I hope the cooking is on par with Lif"
"Sure..."
Heh, it seems that Luna is still fixated on her new Equipment. Since she looks like a new child in the love of toys, then I'll just let her go.
Down to the bottom floor, sure enough, everything is neatly arranged.
Even from the direction of the kitchen we both can smell the delicious aroma that arouses our appetite.
"Heh, it seems they already know very well what I want"
Without saying much more I and Luna immediately headed to the dining room while waiting for this fairly early dinner because right after dusk there would be a meeting that I had to attend.
