Chapter 269: Second Demon Emperor's Wierd Limitation

" I understand that, but I don't want to cast the real skill anyways. I want to see if there is something I can do to make it easier to cast with lesser limitations. Anyway, start teaching me. We can talk about the rest later," Ryder agreed as he nodded his head.

"Alright. You already heard the High Duke cast this skill, but still, I'll repeat the spell for you so that you can listen again and get a better idea of it," Rale told Ryder before he started speaking a spell. Rale made sure to speak slowly so that Ryder could hear carefully.

"I understand. I had already learned it on the first try," Ryder said as he nodded his head before he raised his first concern. 

"There is one thing I don't understand, though. Why is it that the skill didn't activate for you even after you said the spell?" Ryder asked as he frowned.

"It's really simple. The spell is not the main part of the skill. It is said that you need five things to cast this skill effectively. The spell is just one of those things," Rale explained to Ryder.

"What are the other four things, then?" Ryder asked as he frowned.

" I'll talk about all five of them so that Your Highness can understand better. The first thing is Spell. Spell something that uses your energy to interact with the Demonic Energy in the surroundings to cast this skill. Mastering the spell is the easiest because of your Demonic Bloodline and because the spell is simple and doesn't use complex pronunciation of the words," Rale told Ryder.

"The Second component that is needed to cast this spell correctly is intent. The intent is something that you need. It's like the will. Even if you speak the spell, the skill won't activate since you don't have the intent to activate it. That's why when I said the spell, it didn't activate for me. It was all because I didn't have intent," Rale continued as he looked at Ryder.

"The Third Component is called the Spirit," Rale explained to Ryder.

"Spirit?" Ryder asked in confusion. He understood about Intent and Spell from the words themselves, but it was the first time he was hearing about the need of Spirit to cast a spell. "Do you mean Souls?"

"No, Your Highness. I didn't mean the Spirits like the ones we saw in the Valley of Wandering Souls. What I meant by Spirit is your soul. Everyone's soul contains some magical energy that is needed to cast spells. That's the third component. If your spirit doesn't have enough magical energy, you can't cast the spell," Rale explained.

"Oh, I think you're talking about Mana. That's right. Mana is needed to cast skills like this. I already realized that," Ryder said as he nodded his head.

"Mana?" Ryder asked in confusion.

"Ah, I meant Spirit. Don't worry, I understand. You can continue ahead. What's the fourth component," Ryder said as he nodded his head.

"The 4th is bloodline. As I said before, this Skill was created by the Second Demon Emperor, and he only created it to be used by the Demons. He didn't want the enemies to learn this skill somehow and use it against us," Rale told Ryder.

"That's easy as well. From what I know, I already have Demon Bloodline. It shouldn't be a problem either," Ryder affirmed.

'Now, as long as the last component isn't bad, I should be able to learn it,' He thought as he waited for Rale to continue.

A few seconds passed away, but Rale didn't start talking.

"Go on. Talk about the last component," Ryder said to Rale, who looked a little awkward.

"Speak," Ryder asked again.

"The fifth component that is needed to cast this skill successfully is related to Virginity," Rale blurted out.

"What the actual fuck? How did virginity come into this?!" Ryder exclaimed in shock as he looked at Rale with an incredulous look on his face.

" I don't know why it is the way it is. From what I understand, the Second Ancestral Demon Emperor made it this way. As for his reasons, I have no idea. Anyway, this skill can only be used by people who are not virgins," Rale said openly.

If the term 'What the fuck' had an expression, that's what Ryder's face looked at the moment he heard Rale's works.

' Just what kind of person was this Second Demon Emperor? Did he really hate virgins so much that he made skills specifically for non-virgins?' Ryder thought as his frown didn't lessen.

'I'm not a virgin in the outside world, but still, I don't think that will be counted in the game. The VR glasses did not have any data if I'm a virgin or not. That should only know if I have sex in-game, which I haven't. I'm entirely sure that I'm considered a virgin by Divinity,' Ryder thought. 'Whatever. Let me test the skill myself to see if I satisfy the criteria.'

"Rale, tell me more. About the meaning of each word in the spell and if I can change that. Also, how should I control how many people I link to? If I want to link to a hundred thousand people or if I want to link to ten, how should I handle that?" Ryder asked Rale the main question. 

He knew that it would cost more mana the more people he linked to, but if he linked to only one person, the cost of mana should be much lower. He wanted to try from the lowest level since he knew that his mana levels were nowhere close to even Devilia, let alone to High Dukes.

"That is pretty simple," Rale let out as he started the significance of the spell, word by word.

...

"As for the control of his many people you affect, that's pretty simple as well. When you cast the spell, you just need to think about the people you want to affect. That will be done. If you think about affecting a hundred thousand people that you know, it'll be fine as long as you satisfy all the criteria and have enough Spirit. Similarly, if you think about affecting only one person, that will be done as well," Rale said. 

"There's only one thing to keep in mind, though," he continued as he warned Ryder. "You shouldn't try to link to a person stronger than you without their permission, or it might harm you."

Ryder nodded his head as he glanced at Rale.

"Rale, I want to test it. I want to cast this spell on you," Ryder let out suddenly.
