After bringing the three back to the Duchy of Nazarick, he paid them no more mind.
Draco went to the Ancient Library on the tenth floor.
Titus was currently in a secret room of the library crafting scrolls.
Without disturbing him, Draco found a place to quietly flip through some books.
The reason he came here to look through magic books was to test his new skills.
At Lv70, Draco had chosen the Star Sorcerer class, and upon reaching Lv85, he chose Magic Controller.
This class was one Draco had carefully selected as the most suitable for him.
Among its features, two skills were particularly terrifying.
「Magic Mastery」 is a passive that allows the instant casting of Super-Tier Magic, but it can only be used three times a day.
「Magic Control」 allows one to freely construct magic circuits to create any magic; once recognized by the world, it can be cast normally.
In addition to these two skills, Draco also obtained the 「Arcane Control」 skill.
The effect of this skill allowed him to call upon Magical Essence of various attributes at will, using them to coordinate with 「Magic Control」 for the construction of magic circuits.
The Magic Controller class could be said to be very strong, but also very weak.
Constructing magic circuits required a vast amount of knowledge as support.
Previously, Draco didn't need to use his brain to release skills; they would manifest naturally.
He knew the 'what' but not the 'how' or 'why'.
If a human Magister who had immersed themselves for years or even decades obtained this skill, they would absolutely have all sorts of magic at their fingertips.
But Draco had no experience in this area. Previously, he relied on the system; now he could only accumulate knowledge slowly and become proficient bit by bit.
Draco spent some time flipping through the magic book in his hand.
Then, based on the contents of the book, he began attempting to construct a magic circuit.
This process of trial was extremely tedious. Draco tirelessly performed repeated deductions and finally constructed the first magic circuit.
Magic Control!
Just as the magic circuit was constructed, a flash of light flickered, and several fireballs floated out of thin air around Draco.
"Oh~~ this is interesting!"
Draco looked at the fireballs floating in mid-air with surprise.
Although these fireballs emitted a faint light, they were indeed real flames.
This was a successful beginning.
Next, Draco began his tedious study.
According to the skill description, if your magical knowledge is sufficient, theoretically even Super-Tier Magic could be created.
This was also why Draco chose this class.
As a side note.
Draco's current class levels were:
Mage Lv10, Wizard Lv15, Summoner Lv15, Summoning Master Lv15, Magister Lv15, Star Sorcerer Lv15, Magic Controller Lv5.
Added together, it was exactly Lv90... On the other side.
After leaving the Sealed Cave, Rimuru wandered around the forest.
But after walking for a long time, he found no living creatures around.
What he didn't know was.
This was all because the demonic aura radiating from his body was too terrifying.
At this time, Rimuru's strength had reached A+ rank, only missing an opportunity to break through to the Demon Lord Species.
One must know that there is a world of difference between the three sub-levels of A-rank.
A combat power of over 9,000 but less than 10,000 is A- rank; reaching 10,000 is A rank.
However, A+ rank requires 100,000 combat power.
That is the gap.
Clayman's current combat power is around 400,000, so he is equivalent to a quarter of a Clayman.
It must be said, Rimuru's start was too good.
Unlike Draco, who had a hell-difficulty start; if he hadn't used cheats, he would have been long gone.
"Eh?"
While Rimuru was strolling through the forest, he suddenly stopped and looked into the distance with confusion.
A strange fluctuation came from there, as if life existed.
Rimuru's eyes immediately lit up.
He excitedly ran towards the direction the fluctuation came from.
What appeared before Rimuru was a group of short Goblins wearing worn-out leather.
Upon seeing Rimuru, they were so frightened they knelt on the ground.
"Gr... Great One, for what reason have you come to this place?"
...Afterward, upon learning that there was a Goblin village ahead and that it was about to be attacked by the Direwolves, Rimuru stayed behind.
He planned to save the Goblin village.
Everyone knows the story that follows.
After killing Ranga's father, Rimuru gained his most loyal follower, Ranga.
Then, out of gratitude, the entire Goblin village submitted to Rimuru.
The story of the Jura Tempest Federation began here.
Not far from the village, Souei was standing on a tree branch, observing the situation of the Goblin settlement.
Beside him stood a dozen subordinates dressed as ninjas.
They were the intelligence unit Draco had sent to keep a constant watch on Rimuru.
This way, Draco could be informed of any developments in a timely manner... Somewhere in the forest.
Gelmud, wearing a crow mask, was currently talking to a mysterious man wearing a clown mask.
"Ku ku ku! Lord Gelmud, Lord Clayman has hired me to assist you."
"Did Lord Clayman say anything?"
"Hu hu hu! It seems the Lord is somewhat dissatisfied with your efficiency; he has given you an ultimatum."
"If there is no progress within a month... Hehe, you know the consequences."
Gelmud's expression shifted.
"Hmph! Before, it was because the Treants intervened, causing my entire layout to be ruined."
"Now that the Storm Dragon has disappeared and the forest has fallen into chaos, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
"Oh ho ho!"
The clown man began to dance about of his own accord.
"As expected of Lord Gelmud. If there is anywhere you need this subordinate, please do not hesitate to command!"
"Mm."
Gelmud nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then this subordinate shall take his leave."
After the Man in the clown mask left, Gelmud continued with his plan.
Not long after the two of them left.
Demiurge slowly stepped out from the shade of the trees nearby.
"As expected of Lord Draco. Just as he predicted, this fellow has appeared again."
He wagged his tail excitedly, his admiration for the supreme being plain for all to see.
"If it were the Lord, what would he do next..."
With such a question in mind, Demiurge slowly vanished into the shadows.
