Even with a hundred percent acceleration, comprehension would still take fourteen hours...
All he could say was that black magic really was harder to learn than ordinary magic. Not only did using it require extreme caution, learning it was like walking on thin ice too. The slightest lapse could send someone out of control, just like those believers who had been dragged away earlier.
But Mu You had the Secret Art Crystal to regulate his energy and the Forest Spirit's Heart to protect him. Even if he really lost control, the corruption inside him would immediately be absorbed.
So his success rate in comprehending black magic was a hundred percent. Once enough time passed, he would definitely learn it.
The others were not so lucky. After a day of studying black magic, perhaps half the people present would have to be dragged away and thrown into the pit.
Combined with that mysterious Church member's earlier designs on the Forest Spirit, Mu You had some idea what these people were researching: Vivian had originally sought out the Forest Spirit to exploit its immunity to corruption, repeatedly testing black magic to uncover its underlying circuits and create pure secret art circuits.
These people had no Forest Spirit to use. Could they be planning to transfer that experimental process onto human bodies, producing secret art circuits at the cost of one life after another?
At that thought, Mu You told Vivian what he had just encountered in the game, along with his speculation.
"With enough experimental samples, it is indeed possible to reproduce pure black magic circuits..." After listening, Vivian confirmed Mu You's idea.
Then she shook her head. "But that 'enough' would require many lives. Very, very many..."
Vivian did not specify how many, but Mu You could work it out. When
