I woke up with my neck horribly stiff, probably because I'd fallen asleep using the grimoire as a pillow.
And since I hadn't really slept properly, I didn't feel refreshed at all. If anything, I felt even more tired.
"Ugh, update..."
Rubbing the back of my neck, I headed toward the Familia home.
"Haaah... maybe I should take it easy today..."
I'd probably be going on another expedition soon anyway...
Taking care of my condition mattered.
"...Bellf."
"Yes."
"You... said you read the grimoire, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"If you already have magic, then a grimoire is basically something that gives you a chance to manifest another spell, right?"
"Yes."
"You... really are lucky, aren't you?"

Magic:
[Infinite Sword Emperor]
-Projects magic tools contained within the mind's image.
-Performance is enhanced when projecting sword-related magic tools.
-When chanted, it divides and unfolds the inner image.
-When chanted, it combines and forges a single blade.
Chant:
My body is made of swords.
My blood is iron, my heart is glass.
Beyond the sword, for the sake of a single blade,
Without a single success, without a single failure,
I forge swords that shatter endlessly.
Yet the flame has not gone out,
And so this body is made of infinite swords.
Chant: To reach that place is countless training, a mountain of swords piled high. Sever karma through bonds. The blade of Crozzo that raises eight layers of walls.
[Enhancement]
-Raises the performance of tools held in the hand.
[]
Skills:
Crozzo Blood
-Can create magic swords
-Magic sword performance is enhanced during creation
Will of Wrought Iron
-Unwavering.
-Divides and combines.
Blade Aesthetic
-Discerns the sword held in the hand.
-Increases understanding of armaments
"...That's awfully long."
[Sword Emperor of Nothingness] had become [Infinite Sword Emperor]...
Had it evolved?
And [Will of Wrought Iron] had changed too.
"That's the problem right now!? I've never even heard of a magic like this!!!"
"Well, now you have."
"Aaaah! So this is how Hestia feels!"
I left Hephaistos, clutching her head, behind and headed home.
"Is this similar too?"
Back home, I tried using [Infinite Sword Emperor], which seemed to have evolved from [Sword Emperor of Nothingness].
"Trace on..."
Just like when I projected a sword with [Sword Emperor of Nothingness], the magic tool I had imagined was projected along with the sensation of hot iron wire heating up along my back.
But...
"Crude, huh?"
The magic tool's performance was lower than that of a projected magic sword.
If the projected magic sword lost about 20 percent of its performance, the projected magic tool lost about 35 percent.
"Still, I think I can make good use of it."
To test out [Infinite Sword Emperor], I headed for the Dungeon.
