Like how the Card Apprentice had their specific method of forging their Ego Gems and Divinity, each dark race had their own method of forging their t.i.tled demon core.

The humans of the card world categorized all beings from the Dark Realm as Demons however the fact was they were not all the same but different. Hence, they had different methods of forging their t.i.tled demon core pa.s.sed down in their tribe over generations. These methods were specifically tailored to their race"s physique and spirituality, just like how the method of forging Ego Gems and Divinity in Card Apprentice was specifically created for them.

If a demon were to use the method of forging the t.i.tle demon core of their tribe to forge their t.i.tle demon core then the chances of them succeeding in forging their t.i.tle demon core were very high. After all, being pa.s.sed down among the various generations of the tribe, the method gets modified by the tribesmen based on their experience, further optimizing the method to help them forge their t.i.tle demon core with ease and a higher success rate.

However, rejecting the tribe"s method to forge the t.i.tle demon core and using an unknown method to forge one"s t.i.tle demon core was the same as seeking death. This was why Mak Tul panicked when he heard Cuth Diya say that he wanted to forge a t.i.tle demon core using an unknown method instead of the one belonging to his tribe. He felt Cuth Diya was not only seeking death for himself but planning to drag him along with him.

After all, Devil Muth Diya would hold him responsible for his son"s death if Cuth Diya were to die here? Therefore regardless of how he felt about the story Cuth Diya just narrated, Mak Tul did not stop trying to reach Devil Muth Diya through his merchant codex. Unless he receives confirmation from Cuth Diya"s father himself, Mak Tul does not plan to let Chaos Dwarf help Cuth Diya forge his t.i.tle Demon Core using an unknown foreign method.

As for Wyatt, he felt sorry for Cuth Diya but was excited to learn a foreign method to forge the t.i.tle Demon Core. The Infinity Library had a few methods to forge t.i.tle Demon Core but they all belonged to Dark Tribes that were either extinct or had to sell it because of their cla.s.s financial situation. However, the Infinity Library did not have foreign methods to forge t.i.tle Demon Core found in the vestiges across the dark realms. As these were remains of an unknown civilization and most of the time they were incomplete or proved to be malicious. However, this was mostly because the original meaning gets watered down with translation.

If what Demon Merchant Cuth Diya said was true then, Devil Merchant Muth Diya must be one heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.d to order his own son to be a guinea pig to test a foreign t.i.tle demon core forging method. Especially, knowing that there was a high probability of death in case of failure.

"Master Erza, you can continue with Cuth Diya"s request. He was not lying to us," Mak Tul was finally able to reach Devil Muth Diya and confirm what Cuth Diya said. However, learning that Cuth Diya was not actually valued by Muth Diya and was soon going to die, he no longer addressed him as a young master but just by his name.

Cuth Diya noticed the change in the att.i.tude of Mak Tul toward him. But he only looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt as if looking at a clown who had no idea of what actually was happening.

Yes, Cuth Diya"s father was forcing him to forge his t.i.tle demon core using an unknown foreign forging method. This sucked but only he knew why his father was forcing him to try out this foreign t.i.tle demon core forging method instead of using some other tribe member as a guinea pig. That was because if he were to successfully forge his t.i.tle demon core with this method, stepping into devil rank would be guaranteed for him.

This was why Devil Muth Diya, did not spare any effort in increasing his son"s odds of forging his t.i.tle demon core using foreign forging methods by recruiting the help of a demon merchant Chaos Dwarf. Devil Muth Diya loved his son in his own way. However, it was difficult for others to understand it. He was doing his best to give his son the life of a winner rather than a mediocre one even if it meant him losing his son.

The reason why Cuth Diya was disappointed was because as a second-generation bully, he would rather eat the fruits of his father"s efforts than risk his life to build a life of his own. He did not understand why his father was willing to take such a risk.

However, he had no say in this matter since if he did not do this his father was prepared to disown him and adopt a child from their tribe and raise him as his own. If that child succeeded in forging a t.i.tle demon core using the foreign forging method in question then he would name that child as his successor.

Given the choice between losing everything he had and risking his life to increase what he had a thousandfold, Cuth Diya made the obvious choice. Right now he was too stressed to spare his mind for a small character like Mak Tul, he could handle him after he forged his t.i.tle demon core, if fails then he would be dead making all this pointless.

As for the Chaos Dwarf, since his life was literally in the hands of the Chaos Dwarf Erza, Cuth Diya was willing to bend over backward for the Dwarf. Not to mention befriending a Chaos Dwarf would only add to his prestige and power among his friend circle of second-generation bullies.

"Master Erza, I have shared the unknown foreign forging method with your merchant codex. Please, advise."
