Kyle wasn't too surprised about his Master's attitude so he just followed his instructions.

"Master Heinz, I can only enter the Phantasm State for 10 seconds..." Kyle said for a moment before he continued.

"I'm already in the Phantasm State…"

Heinz didn't do anything and he just seem to be confirming something. After the Phantasm State ended, Kyle was still unaware of his master's plan.

"Good… We'll start after you swallow this pill."

"Pill?" Kyle asked as he looked at the bottle that Heinz was holding.

It contains a green pill with yellow spots and it's about the size of a fingernail.

'That doesn't look nice…' Kyle said as he looked at his master once again.

Heinz wasn't wearing his coat right now so Kyle was also curious about how did he pull it out. Anyway, he took the pill bottle from Heinz and uncapped it. Luckily, he brought a bottle of water with him so he can easily swallow the pill.

This water is prepared for him by Denise as it seems that she's aware of what's going to happen.

Kyle didn't hesitate to swallow the pill since he already knows that Spell Recording isn't as dangerous as those enhancement potions. The most dangerous about dark spells is the method of their usage.

After drinking the water to help him swallow the pill, Kyle noticed that Heinz activated the magic circle on the floor!

He didn't notice that it was there until it was activated! The complicated pattern of the magic circle glowed with faint yellow light stunning Kyle for a brief moment.

He only realized now that he was actually standing in the middle of it.

Then, he felt that Heinz put his left palm on his back and spoke solemnly…

"Since the dark spell you're about to get isn't recorded in any of the books, you won't be able to record its spell pattern and imprint it in your body. We will be calling for a certain existence to help you. I'll be doing it for you..." Heinz explained.

Furthermore, Heinz knows that even if Kyle learned how to record the spell pattern, doing it successfully in five spell slots wouldn't be easy.

Kyle was confused about the series of events just now as he can only nod in nervousness.

"Do not enter the Phantasm State..." Heinz instructed.

'Even if I wanted to, I still need to wait for the three minutes cooldown.' Kyle replied in his mind.

Soon, he noticed some changes in his surroundings, or perhaps, his vision in the surroundings… He realized that even without entering the Phantasm State, he was able to see the six lights in his body.

Suddenly, complicated patterns of dark energy appeared in his chest and it's quite similar to the ones drawn on the floor.

'This…' Kyle was surprised as he tried to relax and not resist whatever is happening to him.

He feels as though the surrounding dark aura within the hall is starting to gather in five of his spell slots.

After some energy was gathered, Kyle heard Heinz mutter a ritual or perhaps, a prayer. He can guess that he was communicating with the secret existence that held the power of the darkness.

"Eternal Darkness, my guardian, I wandered from your path and come to praise your will.

Lead me so I can bring darkness into my encumbrance…

I request this of you with true devotion... Empower me with your glorious soul."

'The recording is starting… So this is how it goes, I wonder why it's not recorded in the book…' Kyle thought as he allowed his master to do whatever he needed to do.

Soon, he felt something inside his stomach… It must be the pill that he swallowed just now! It was gathering all the surrounding energy and it was suffocating him a bit.

He suddenly felt bloated and had a sensation that he was about to explode… However, the first light in his body was suddenly filled with darkness before his sensation returned to normal.

Perhaps, three to five more of that, and the first light would turn completely black…

This happened repeatedly for three hours until all five lights turned black… Kyle almost gave up in the process! The process was just too long!

Based on the books he read, the other first-tier Dark Spells only require 10 to 15 minutes to be recorded. If you're really bad, it can be up to 30 minutes though it's really rare to happen.

Kyle's process was too long!

Thud!

As soon as the spell modeling was over, the faint yellow glow on the floor's magic circle vanished and Heinz kneeled on one knee. He was exhausted in the process and it feels as though he had aged by another 10 or so years.

"Master Heinz…" Kyle immediately helped the old man as he was worried that he'd die early. He still needs his protection after all.

"I'm fine… You can inspect the Spell Model in your body now." Heinz weakly said as he looked at Kyle with great anticipation.

The Spell Model he mentioned is the recorded spell in his body.

Kyle can understand Heinz's thoughts since this is an original Dark Spell that he created with his master… He must be anxious to know whether it was a failure or a success.

"I will check it now…"

Kyle then entered the Phantasm State and this time, there are only two lights in his body. However, one of them is visibly larger than the other.

The white one is the empty slot while the black one was the one with the Spell Model. His consciousness immediately checked the Spell Model and he swiftly learned what it was…

"Spell Dispersion… A dark spell that targets any form of mystical attack on the user. It activates even outside the Phantasm State… Wait---"

Kyle immediately tried to recall the information and confirmed that the Spell Dispersion works even if the Phantasm State is inactive!

There was no such ability that works outside this state in all the books he read before!
