Chapter 149 - [TP] 149: The Witch

Among the trio, Irisviel and Illya were classified as non-human, belonging to a peculiar race... Flesh Golem.

Homunculus in this world are defined as Flesh Golems?

It made sense.

Magical constructs made of flesh, like the Einzbern homunculi, fit the description perfectly.

Damien wasn't surprised that Illya's Magicule surpassed her mother's.

The girl was the Einzbern family's ultimate creation.

"Both mother and daughter are in an 'unnamed' state, seriously?"

Being unnamed meant their original names were mere labels, not true names recognized by the world.

"In the eyes of the Voice of the World, names without a naming ceremony don't count as a monster's true name?"

Damien hadn't brought people across worlds before, so this was his first encounter with the Voice of the World's apparent racial bias.

"What about Sakura?"

Damien recalled Sakura was a pure human. "I wonder how the Voice of the World sees humans from other worlds."

[Sakura Matou]

[Race: Human]

"Huh?"

"That's it?"

"Just… nothing else?"

Damien found Sakura's status panel pitifully bare.

Just a name, and that was it.

"So biased?"

Damien grumbled internally. "It really doesn't treat otherworlders as people."

But on reflection, it wasn't surprising.

In the Cardinal World, humans were at the bottom of the food chain.

Unlike monsters, they couldn't evolve through Magicule or gain skills.

Instead, they relied on special techniques called Arts.

Of course, not all humans were like this.

Some exceptions existed.

For instance, otherworlders summoned as Heroes came with various skills.

Humans could also change classes... Warrior, Mage, Priest, etc.

Once they did, they could gain Magicule and grow stronger.

Though both improve strength, human skills require learning, not direct acquisition.

That was likely the key difference between humans and monsters in the Cardinal World.

Sakura could probably become an excellent Mage.

Damien didn't have high expectations for her.

As long as she was cute and happy, that was enough.

But this human race…

Humans in the Cardinal World weren't as noble as in other worlds.

Here, monsters were always the protagonists.

I recall humans can be transformed into Majin, right?

As a Special A-rank Demon Lord Seed, Damien had the power to turn Sakura into a monster.

And once they became monsters, he could name them, boosting their strength.

"Sakura, Illya, Irisviel."

Damien addressed the trio. "I'm planning to turn you into Majin. What do you think?"

"Majin?"

"What's that?"

"Sakura will do whatever Onii-san says!"

While Sakura agreed unconditionally, Illya and Irisviel looked puzzled.

Damien didn't elaborate, instead sharing information about Majin with the mother and daughter.

"I'm willing!"

Irisviel had little resistance to becoming Majin.

She wasn't human to begin with.

Changing races was no big deal for her.

"I'll follow Mom."

Illya, still young, didn't fully understand but would go wherever her mother did.

Damien refrained from saying anything hurtful, like pointing out they weren't truly human.

"No need to be nervous. It's just a race change... it'll be quick."

Damien began by drawing a portion of his blood, infusing it with Magicule, and channeling it into Sakura's body.

This was to grant her a higher starting bloodline.

As a Dragonoid with the Star Dragon King's blood, Sakura might gain unexpected benefits.

"I bestow upon you the true name, Sakura Tohsaka!"

Damien kept her name but changed her surname from Matou to Tohsaka.

"Ugh~~"

A powerful surge of Magicule erupted within Sakura.

Her body began to grow.

Though she didn't mature into an adult, she went from a five- or six-year-old to a ten-year-old girl.

Her Magicule also surged.

If before, Sakura was equivalent to an F-rank monster, akin to an ordinary human in the Cardinal World, now, after Damien's naming and infusion, she'd reached A-rank Majin.

[Sakura Tohsaka]

[Race: Serpent Witch]

[Magicule: 24,000 EP (A-rank Majin)]

[Additional Skills: Mother of Serpents (Create various serpent monsters), Mystic Eyes of Petrificatio, etc.]

[Unique Skill: Blasphemous Words (Dominate all things through persuasive speech)]

[Special Skill: Magicule Solidification]

The appearance of a Unique Skill surprised Damien.

But considering Sakura was the first to receive his dragon bloodline, the change wasn't too shocking.

"Serpent Witch…"

Damien had no recollection of witches in the Cardinal World.

But since it appeared, witches must exist as a race here.

And Sakura's title was "Serpent."

Serpent Witch.

It reminded Damien of the mythical Medusa.

Sakura and Medusa shared an uncanny connection.

Even her additional skills included creating serpent monsters and a Mystic Eyes of Petrificatio.

She was practically a mini-Medusa.

Maybe I'll summon Medusa someday.

They'd probably get along.

Damien thought it was a good idea, worth trying later.

[Blasphemous Words]

This ability resembled the Will Control.

But Sakura's Unique Skill was clearly stronger.

The Will Control relied on mental domination.

Against enemies with strong mental resistance or immunity, it faltered.

In contrast, Sakura's Blasphemous Words was direct domination.

Humans, lifeless stones, flames, or snowstorms... anything could be swayed by her words, becoming her ally.

This was independent of the target's will.
