18 Liquify, Soften, Dissolve, Dissipate

The only thing he had left that might be able to be used is the three lottery chances that he received before his evolution and the demonic lottery chance. However, it would not be a good idea to summon a demon in the middle of the Church that is trying to destroy them. So, all that was left is the 3 regular lottery chances.

He told the Roll-land system, "Open the lottery."

The Roll-land system showed Rocky a golden slot machine and asked, "Would User: Rocky like to use all three chances at once?"

Rocky shook his head and used his chances one by one. He imagined himself pulling the lever and the slot machine spun while playing cheerful music. After it stopped spinning, the Roll-land system said, "Congratulations, User: Rocky has been awarded one Magic Boosting Pill. This pill allows for User: Rocky to use the next level of magic instantly at the expense of User: Rocky's lifespan."

Rocky scowled, "Such a useless pill!" He used his other two lottery chances. He ended up with a bonus demonic lottery chance and a "magic" weapon.

Rocky asked the Roll-land system, "This 'magic' weapon, how does it work?"

The Roll-land system projected a visual of the 'magic' weapon in action. It was like a thin, long sword that was made of a mysterious metal. It was dark orange and it released a few bright yellow sparkles as it flew around. The Roll-land system said, "The Cleaver of Rocks is a magic weapon capable of flight. It requires the user to imbue rocks inside. The Cleaver of Rocks is fueled by the rock inside it so more powerful rocks can unleash more power. The weapon can be summoned and put away at will."

Rocky thoughtfully asked, "What if I were to put myself in it? Could I get myself out of it afterward?"

The Roll-land system replied, "No. If User: Rocky finds the sword useless, would User: Rocky like for the system to melt down the sword down to its components?"

Rocky mentally held up a finger to silence the system, "Don't mention the word melt in front of me. It's making me nauseous."

The Roll-land system asked, "Would you prefer the word liquify? Other suggested replacements include: Soften, dissolve, and dissipate."

Rocky yelled, "Enough!" Rocky glanced around the room and saw a few scattered pebbles around the room. He murmured, "This should do."

He began casting rock magic on a pebble nearby, "Rockus Pocus. Make me your focus. Serve me and obey me. You shall never be free unless you agree."

Rocky nodded in satisfaction when a mental channel was established between him and the new pebble. Through the mental communication channel, Rocky told the new pebble under his control, "Your name is Peblette. Welcome to D.U.S.T.! Now get into this magic weapon and never come out!"
