"If this continues, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to defeat the other side."

"Indeed, then I'll have to resort to other methods."

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Lise instantly tensed up, her eyes fixed on Mo Li.

The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and a black shadow covered the earth.

The City of Time Eaters, originally a skill Kurumi used to absorb other people's time, is now perfectly suited for locking down Lise's movements.

"My body feels so heavy... What is this...?"

"You shouldn't be able to move now, right? I can see time passing within you!"

Lise tried to escape using several secret techniques, but within the territory of the City of Devouring Time, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

Mo Li slowly walked up to Lise, gently lifted her head with his hand, and asked:

"Tell me, what do you think a mage needs most?"

"Power—that is the ultimate power that we sorcerers pursue throughout our lives!"

Mo Li shook his head and waved his finger in front of Lise's eyes a few times.

"You're wrong. What a mage needs most is time. Without time, no matter how much power you have, you'll end up as nothing more than a skeleton in a grave!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lise aged at a visible rate, her time being devoured by Mo Li.

A pair of fair and delicate hands began to become wrinkled and droopy, and the various organs of the body began to wither.

What was once a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life has begun to transform into an old woman.

The stark contrast nearly drove Lise to a mental breakdown; she wanted to escape this place, to flee this wasteland of time.

"Time is fair to everyone, Lise. The power you pursue is worthless in my eyes, because you don't have time to enjoy it!"

"Wait, wait a minute, change me back! I don't want to be like this!"

Lise cannot accept that she has become like this. Even though she has the Demon King factor, it does not mean that she has infinite life. She will still grow old and die.

Lilith looked at the suffering Lise, then turned her head away, unable to bear to watch any longer. She was about to say something when Eileen stopped her. Now was not the time for mercy.

“Eileen…”

"Trust your husband, he'll handle this!"

Eileen seemed to see through Mo Li's heart, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

The rest of the group were also in the City of Devouring Time and were affected to varying degrees.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Mo Li looks more like an evil sorcerer right now!"

"Hmph, a man who plays with time so carelessly, it's better to eliminate him!"

Mira snorted coldly, glancing at Mo Li's retreating figure with only apprehension in her eyes. Her Crystal Reflection Technique had no effect on the City of Devouring Time, meaning it wasn't magic at all.

Where no one could see, Mo Li quietly brought her face close to Lise's ear.

"How does it feel to watch yourself grow old little by little, and be unable to stop it?"

"I...I'm willing to tell you everything...Please...please help me recover..."

Hearing Lise's pleading words, Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. It was time.

A blue light shone on Lise, and a contract array bearing the mark of the Demon King appeared beneath her feet.

"So, choose, 852, become my servant, or grow old and frail!" 78

Lise, whose body was nearly exhausted, even had difficulty speaking. She grabbed Mo Li's clothes and, with all her remaining strength, said to him:

"I...I do!!"

"Very well, in the name of the Demon King, the contract is established!"

The contract magic circle took effect, and Lise became Moli's first familiar in this world.

Mo (Qian Nuo Zhao) cupped Lise's face and kissed her.

As if time had reversed, Lise slowly returned to her original appearance, and the demonic factor within her was also withdrawn by Mo Li. Just as Mo Li had said before, one demonic king was enough for this world.

After the contract was completed, Mo Li raised his head, looked at Lise who had recovered completely, and smiled.

"As expected, this is still my type of look!"

"You have to take responsibility for her, Demon Lord!"

Mo Li whispered something in Lise's ear, and Lise burst into wild laughter.

"I see, as expected of the Demon King, I understand now!"

After saying that, Lise blew Moli a kiss and then disappeared into thin air.

Lilith, Mira, Eileen, and the others gathered around, waiting for Mo Li's explanation.

"Why did you let her leave? You should have been able to keep her here, right?"

"Who knows?"

Mo Li revealed a confident expression. "Haruhi Sei, is that it?"

Chapter 360 The Fourth Library, True Word Technique

After Lise left, everyone was teleported back to the library.

"are you back?"

"Looks like that, I can finally get some rest."

After the battle, Mo Li couldn't wait to head towards his dormitory; all he wanted to do now was lie in bed and get some sleep.

But Mira stopped her, holding up the crystal ball and questioning her:

"You haven't answered my question yet. Why did you let Lise go?"

"While it's true that I'm very lecherous, this level of temptation is just too low-class!"

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Mira curiously lowered her head and discovered that the clothes under her cloak were gradually disappearing.

It seems that the magic Lise cast on her earlier worked.

Mira quickly turned around, covering her chest with both hands, and glared at Mo Li with resentment.

It's all because his magic was stolen by Lise that he's in this situation now.

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that his newly recruited subordinate was somewhat disobedient.

When Mo Li sensed that someone was trying to expel the Demon King's mark, he knew that what Lise had just said was all an act.

However, since the contract has been signed, unless she dies, Lise will never be able to escape the fate of being a familiar.

"System, is your contract okay? It won't be erased by the people of this world, will it?"

"Host, please rest assured, the familiars tainted by the Demon King's mark cannot be removed, but..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li's heart skipped a beat, but he desperately hoped that something unexpected wouldn't happen.

"However, although it cannot be eliminated, the strong in this world seem to be able to suppress the Demon King's power."

"What do you mean?"

Mo Li frowned; this didn't sound like good news.

"Does the host still remember the principles of the contract?" the system prompted.

"Of course I remember. Familiars who are too incompatible with me or whose strength is too far apart from mine, even if they are contracted, there is still a certain chance that they will not obey my orders, right?"

On the very first day Mo Li met the system, he was told the principles of forming a bond with it.

All of Mo Li's current followers are people he acquired through his own efforts. They have excellent compatibility and will not rebel. Even Esdeath is willing to obey his orders.

"When the host made a contract with Lise, it was a semi-coercive process, which means that although the contract was completed, she may still disobey the host's commands. In addition, the system has detected that someone is trying to suppress the power in the Demon King's mark."

Indeed, I was a bit too eager to succeed. At the time, I was only thinking about making Lise my familiar and completely forgot about the process.

It's unlikely that anyone other than the Gospel Seekers could suppress the power within the Demon King's Mark.

"What should I do now?"

"The Demon King's Mark is determined by the host's power. As long as the host becomes stronger, it will naturally not be suppressed."

Mo Li glanced at his Demon King value, which was only a mere 18000 points.

Even if it were possible to exchange for them, it wouldn't be possible to obtain those powerful eye techniques; we would have to find another way.

The fastest way to improve his strength now is through the Mage mode, and he is preparing to learn the fourth library.

Astiel's manuscript happened to appear in his hands at that moment, and Mo Li asked directly:

"Kong, how's the analysis of the number secret technique coming along?"

"It's all done. The three spells—Arcane Magic, Alchemy, and Master's Magic Control—have all been analyzed. Does Master wish to learn a new spell?"

Mo Li nodded, looking at the seven messengers of the Demonic Scripture around him, and fell into deep thought.

Erin's Wrath Library, Xiaowei's Greed Library, Qiuyin's Gluttony Library, and Levi's Jealousy Library.

Each of these four libraries has its own characteristics, but if we're talking about the most obvious way to improve one's strength, and the one that can provide the greatest help at this stage, it should be the True Word spell from the Gluttony Library.

Autumn Sound felt Mo Li's gaze and a playful smile appeared on her face.

"What's wrong, Demon King? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I've decided, my next study resource will be gluttony!"

Qiuyin leaned forward, pinched Mo Li's arm, and then began to examine his body.

After doing all this, Qiuyin nodded and then said to Moli:

"Your physical condition is not bad, but if you want to learn my Mantra Technique, you will need my general's permission first!"

Mo Li looked at Mila with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would grant her request.

Because Mila was currently naked, coupled with Mo Li's unrestrained gaze, Mila's face instantly turned bright red, and she sighed helplessly.

"I understand, Qiuyin. Just make that damn demon king a little more useful."

Mo Li followed Mila and Qiu Yin to the playground.

Qiu Yin clasped her fists together, looking eager to try, as if she couldn't wait to have a match with Mo Li.

"You have the ability to copy other people's magic, right? Then analyze my Truth Word Technique properly."

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated. You just need to demonstrate it to me once."

Mo Li waved his hand, saying that with the Copy Eye, there was no need for any battle.

As long as the process of the True Word Technique is demonstrated, he will activate his Copying Eye to analyze it, and then record the results of the analysis into Astir's manuscript.

"That would be so boring. I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time."

Qiuyin rushed forward and delivered a powerful kick that sent Moli flying.

Seeing this, Mo Li quickly dodged away. How could someone unleash a powerful attack without warning?

Qiuyin smashed a hole in the ground, and mysterious runes appeared on her legs.

"Are you kidding me? Your magic hasn't fully recovered yet!"

“The founder of the True Word Technique, Saeki Mana, possessed such power even without infusing it with magic.”

As Qiu Yin explained, she rushed towards Mo Li.

Mo Li no longer avoided the battle, activated his Copy Eye, and began to analyze Qiu Yin's True Word Technique.

The principle of Mantra is to use magic to strengthen the body, thereby gaining a great boost.

"Initiate the Domination Theme!"

"Connect to the Gluttony Library, Power Word!"

The moment the analysis was completed, the same mysterious runes as Qiu Yin appeared on Mo Li's arm.

A powerful force surged into Mo Li's fists, and he crossed his arms, forcefully blocking Qiu Yin's flying kick.

"This is... a spell, and it was completed so quickly!"

"Yes, thank you for your training."

Qiu Yin stared at Mo Li in disbelief. How long had it been? He had already learned the Truth Word Technique.
