Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest - Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Afternoon, the outskirts of Shikuro .

I approached the empty wilderness .

Today is the continuation of the experiments I’ve done last night, and I’ve moved to a different location due to higher risk factor .

Thus, I came here so as to not get my friends caught up in this manner .

What was in front of me, was the Bicorn Horn’s from the Dungeon Master’s drops .

Taking out 1 Million Piro as if it was spare change, I bought a set of 12 Bicorn Horns from the market .

This was considered cheap as the Bicorn Horn is known to be quite weak when alone .

I took out one of the 12 horns, lay it on the ground and waited for it to hatch .

Dodging it’s attacks and the debuff aura it has, I fired a few Percentage Bullets .

This is again to test out this bullet .

And there’s a reason why I chose the Bicorn as my ‘test subject’ .

The bullets went straight for the horns, but it was prevented by an invisible barrier .

That’s right, the Bicorn has a barrier spell .

It can absorb a ton of attack before breaking .

Despite the bullets not going through, I continued firing .

“3, 4, 5, 6…… . ” (Ryouta)

While firing, I counted out loud the number of times shot .

After achieving the 12 shots condition—– The Bicorn was defeated .

“I didn’t see that it went through the barrier, but the effect still goes through? Or is it that it penetrated the barrier?” (Ryouta)

Let’s try it one more time .

This time, I fired 11 shots of Percentage Bullets, bringing it down to the verge of death, then swap to a normal bullet and fired .

Though it was on the verge of death, the normal bullet normally hits the barrier, deflecting the damage, and the Bicorn is still unharmed .

After repeatedly firing normal bullets, the barrier shattered, and just one of the shots defeats the Bicorn .

“So I was right . The Percentage Bullet ignores barrier as well . However, the last shot needs to penetrate the barrier before killing it . ” (Ryouta)

It does happen occasionally in games .

Even though the character has 1 HP left, but they cast a barrier to keep themselves just barely alive .

There’s another thing I noticed from the Percentage Bullet .

“Ryouta-san . ” 

“Hm? If it isn’t Margaret-san . What brings you all the way here?” (Ryouta)

I was met with Margaret out here .

The typical getup with a Princess Knight-like white armour, and a disproportionately huge sword hanging on her waist .

Her combat abilities are All F, but in return, her drop stats are All A .

It’s been awhile since I met her, and as always she keeps herself prim and proper .

“I was looking for you . When I went to your mansion, your family members said that you would be here . ” (Margaret)

“Ahh I see, yeah I had some things to do . Anyways, is there something you need from me?” (Ryouta) “I just want to see you Ryouta-san . ” (Margaret)

“That’s it?” (Ryouta)

“That is right . ” (Margaret)

“I see . ” (Ryouta)

I was a little caught off guard .

I thought she had something troubling her, and I was ready to lend a helping hand .

But that wasn’t the case .

Now that I look at her closely .

“Where are the rest of your knights?” (Ryouta)

“Are you referring to Rat, Sosha, Play, and Builder?” (Margaret)

Those are her trusty 4 knight’s name .

Or more like her ninja knights .

Normally you won’t be able to see them, but when she’s in trouble, they’ll appear in front of her .

“Yeah . ” (Ryouta)

“They’re here . Rat, Sosha——” (Margaret)

And she has to call out all of their names .

There was a sudden thought that came through my mind, as I fired a Speed Up Bullet on myself .

In the 30 second accelerated world .

I walked around at my own pace .

The reason why I did that, was to know where these 4 appear from .

Normally I would not be able to see them, but maybe I can finally tell where they come out with this accelerated state .

“P——-l———a——–y . ” (Margaret)

Obviously inside this world, her speech dramatically slowed down, and in a lower tone .

Hearing that, I scouted around .

This time, I will never miss a single thing that’s happening around me .

“Bu————–il———-der . ” (Margaret)

“———!” (Ryouta)

I swallowed my own breath .

Because I was being surprised .

Even though there should be no one in front of me .

But right behind Margaret .

The moment she called out to all 4 of the knights, they just appeared .

It’s as if they warped here, or teleported .

Even in this state, it was in an instant .

I can’t even tell how they did it .

“This just deepens the mystery . ” (Ryouta)

I sighed dejectedly .

☆

After 30 seconds have passed, I returned back to the original state .

“Ryouta-san? What seems to be the matter?” (Margaret)

“Ah sorry, it’s nothing . ” (Ryouta)

Since I was in that state, I did not speak a single word at all .

Margaret saw me standing there idly for 30 seconds .

“Sorry for ignoring you . ” (Ryouta)

“It is fine, That is…… . I do not mind looking at Ryouta-san . ” (Margaret)

“By the way, is your fighting style still the same?” (Ryouta)

While looking at Margaret, I pan over to the 4 knights .

“Yes, it is still the same . Ah, however, I assure you that Rat, Sosha, Play, and Builder have certainly increased in strength . ” (Margaret)

“Is that so . ” (Ryouta)

“Yes, they have been an incredible help . ” (Margaret)

“ “ “ “We are not worth of such praise! ! ! “ “ “ “

All four of them simultaneously fell onto their knees .

It’s the usual .

If they’re in a history simulation game, their loyalty would’ve maxed out long ago .

“So they’ve become stronger . The Margaret Family is coming along nicely . ” (Ryouta)

“It is all thanks to Rat, Sosha, Play, and Builder . ” (Margaret)

“Fumu… . . By the way… . . There’s something I would like to ask the 4 of you . ” (Ryouta)

For a split second, I could see the 4 of them staring at Margaret .

I chuckled wryly .

“Is it alright to answer his questions, Margaret . ” 

“Please do . Ryouta-san, is there something you would like to know?” (Margaret)

After she gave her approval, their atmosphere changes .

The atmosphere of: “I’ll answer everything you have to ask” .

“Given a hypothesis, if for example you meet with a Slime or a Dungeon Master, whatever monsters there be . What if you are given the opportunity to defeat any of them with just 12 hits, would you want it?” (Ryouta)

“ “ “ “We will be glad to have it!” “ “ “

The four answered in unity .

That’s great, excellent .

They understood perfectly what I wanted to say .

And I’m genuinely impressed by their loyalty towards Margaret .

“Margaret Tenessine . ” (Ryouta)

“Yes?” (Margaret)

“Ahh it’s nothing . ” (Ryouta)

I looked at the Percentage Bullet .

Somehow, this seems to be better of with Margaret than it is for me .
