Necronomicon (V16)

I knew it. Even though he was a Dead Spirit, he had a light attribute. From the looks of it, Adalmann was probably the most demon lord-like in appearance. I found it very ironic that he had the light attribute. However, in Adalmann’s case, he was also able to change his attribute with the Extra Skill ‘Holy-Demonic Reversal,’ so there wasn’t much to say. I thought it should’ve been the other way around, but I shouldn’t linger on that. Because there were other things to worry about.

For example, his existence value had reached the level of an awakened demon lord, and there were just so many things I had to say about him that it gave me a headache. The biggest issue was the Ultimate Gift ‘Necronomicon.’

‘What the hell is this…?’

«I gave it to him.»

I didn’t need to ask. I couldn’t think of anything else, but it seems that it really was the result of Ciel’s meddling.

“The most wonderful of all is this power given to you, Rimuru-sama. The ‘Necronomicon’ is the crystallization of wisdom and has become the source of my power.”

Adalmann recounted happily.

Adalmann’s ‘Necronomicon’ include ‘Thought Acceleration,’ ‘Universal Perception,’ ‘Demon Lord Haki,’ ‘Chant Cancellation,’ ‘Analyze and Assess,’ ‘All of Creation,’ ‘Mental Crush,’ ‘Holy-Demonic Reversal,’ and ‘Domination of the Dead.’

In addition to his original powers, he could now use necromancy and holy magic without chanting. Adalmann’s army had become even more formidable as his control and protection over the dead was strengthened. He explained these things to me with great joy. If he was happy, then that’s fine. I decided to refrain from saying anything rude.

«Incidentally, this ‘Necronomicon’ is in the same system as the Ultimate Gift ‘Grimoire’ that was given to Gadra. I removed the knowledge unsuitable to Adalmann from ‘Grimoire’ and then added the necessary powers.»

Ciel seemed to want praise. I had also just learned that it gave Gadra powers as well. It was awesome, no doubt, but I couldn’t help but think there was no way for me to honestly understand it. Shifting topics, I realized that Adalmann and Gadra were good researchers. They were great friends who enjoyed doing research on magic together. From my point of view, those two were magic maniacs, and since they were harmless, I let them do what they wanted. It was a good thing to be passionate about something you loved, because you might be able to discover the truth. The ‘Necronomicon’ and ‘Grimoire’ could complement each other. They seemed to be appropriate Skills for these two people, so I decided that this was indeed the right answer.
