Dude, you give me another donation, thank you, really, I appreciate it. But I hope I won't make you feel disappointed because of the long update.
After everyone open the path for me, I keep on running to the depth of the cave. I wonder just how long have I keep on running now.
I have also defeated numerous numbers of Sword Lizard and Fire Drake along the way. I kill them all with one attack as they disintegrate into grains of light.
“Gegyaaa!”
“These guys just don’t learn”
LOG
- You have executed [Double Magic Sword]!
- You have enchanted [Ice Ball] to your weapon!
- You have enchanted [Freeze Blast] to your weapon!
- You have executed [Boomerang Tomahawk]! Absolute Zero Flying Blade!
- Critical Hit! 《Sword Lizard》 have received 774 damage!
- 2 《Fire Drake》 have received 652 damage!
- You have defeated multiple monsters!
Wrapping the ax with ice cold aura then throw it to the enemy, a tear up combat arts. I don’t have to hit the ax physically to the enemy as the ice aura enchanted to it will turn into a blade that will tear them apart instead. Usually, catching a bladed object like an ax is a dangerous feat but, when my ax mastery reached level 60, catching a flying ax is just as easy as breathing for me.
I have also leveled my strong body skill into level 100 so naturally my stamina would rise too. No matter how long I keep on running, I still don’t feel tired at all. If I grow into an adult then not to mention my town, even in the kingdom, there will be no one who can defeat me by the means of pure strength.
---- Filianes-san managed to see through my new hidden power after I allocate my bonus points with only a single glance. She and Mar-san is only at level 50 strong body and yet even if they go out on a campaign for their duty as member of the knight brigade to exterminate monsters for one full month, there is a great chance that their strong body skill might not improve. This shows just how hard it is to improve one skill.
If there are no bonus point then reaching such height in strength are nigh impossible for normal human. If I don’t have those bonus points, I definitely had given up as even reaching this cavern is already an impossible task to do.
The passage inside the cavern keeps on tilted downward. I should be deep inside the earth now. To resist the heat from the blistering magma around me, I use fire resist magic and then it suddenly dawned upon me. If I calmly think about it, fire resist magic could help me defend against those Fire Drakes’ fire breath attack. I really had lost my calm until Neris-san comes to help ---- I must’ve been blinded by my new power and tried to remove all obstacles by brute force only.
LOG
- You have leveled up! You have received 3 skill points.
- You feel that you had become a new you.
(Level 41…… until the level cap, if it was according to the game then it will be another 34 levels. The Sovereign Dragon level was 10 the last time I saw it…… I wonder how much she had grown now…….?)
Yuisia is only level 10 at that time but her strong body skill has already reached level 100 along with many other powerful skills. It must be because of her superior race inheritance. Even if I reach the max level cap of 75, I can’t guarantee my win if I have to fight level 20 Yuisia…… Sovereign Dragon is really a being surpasses humanity common sense.
The reason I level up my strong body skill to level 100 is that so my defensive potential will reach + 200 that even with my little kid armor, I could still defend myself well. I must protect myself against the probability of getting a one hit kill attack ---- even normal punch and kick could be deadly when buffed with many skills and could easily pierce through my defense. I don’t know how powerful Yuisia’s skill, [Tail Slide], is but because that skill is acquired later than the breath skill, I can assume that the skill is actually even more powerful than what I could imagine.
(Can’t be helped, I lack information after all…… It’s been awhile since the last time I feel excited to face a new unknown enemy)
In my guild before, there is also another high level player who likes to play solo too. When the game implements new things then he will be the first one to clear it and defeat the new boss there. After he beat the new implementation be it dungeon, stage, or map, he will then create a guide for it to help other people. Well, indeed I also want to experience stepping on the new snow but that is not everything in MMO. Doing a quest with a guide from other people who already done it would not spoils the fun too much after all. Well, in my case, I could just request some powerful NPC to join my party with my [Negotiation] skill power so I could conquer each and every dungeon anytime I want while still technically going solo. And because I could do that kind of thing that other player recognize me as one of the top player there.
Most likely in this world, there are no human who experience a fight with the sovereign dragon. Even if there is, then most likely they could be counted by one hand. I have seen many people status so I know how absurd Yuisia status is. It is simply beyond human. Even the best fighter in the kingdom, Filianes-san, when her status is compared to the current mine, her power is only around two-third of me ---- Well, she still has this soo called player skill, or it can also be called as human’s wisdom so even if her power is only two-third of mine, I still couldn’t beat her easily.
But this human-strongest Filianes-san had approved my power to be sufficient enough to meet the dragon while she herself only acts as a support for me. She definitely would scold me severely later but, if I made it out from here alive, I am willing to take any kind of punishment.
“Nn……?”
LOG
- 《Sword Lizard A》 is protecting 《Sword Lizard B》 with its body.
(What……? A big sword lizard is protecting a small sword lizard……?)
Maybe because of me rampaging nonstop on the way here or maybe because those two sword lizards could feel my strength? It is not really clear about the reason but…
Either way, those two sword lizards doesn’t go on an offense even when they see me directly like this.
LOG
- Your [Charm] skill has been automatically activated! 2 《Sword Lizard》 unable to resist! They have fallen into [Charmed] state.
If the charm effect already kicks in, then I don’t need to fight them any longer. I check my surroundings to make sure that there are no more threats around while slowly approach the two sword lizards.
After a monster spawned to the world through the gate known as [The Monster Nest] and gain a physical body, they will be granted a temporary soul to stay on living. Because of that, I thought that they would be just mindless puppets devoid of any emotion like emotion from parent to child or emotions between comrades. But now I know that I was wrong.
Maybe because the two lizards’ situation is kind of similar to my own, I don’t feel the need to look at the two sword lizards as an enemy. Even though I won’t change my perception about other sword lizards, I just can’t look at these two as my enemies.
DIALOGUE
- You can use the [Servitude] skill to 《Sword Lizard A》. Would you use it? YES / NO
(To avoid having them as an enemy, maybe I should use my tame skill on them…… I can release them afterward anyway)
Charmed monster can be tamed easily and unconditionally. If it was a human then adding with that before, I have to pay them according to their strength level, race, equipment, and all other things that affect their [Price] and then I also need to give them a [necklace/choker] type of equipment to wear so that I could successfully use [Servitude] to them. When it was in the game, the word slave pops out here and there in the main story but the most that the player could have as a slave are only limited to the [Sword fighter slave]. It’s a system when you save some NPC while on quest, you could hire them to act like a mercenary for you and add them to your party.
(…… Sarasa-san, she always hides her neck but I know… because she has the slave skill, then she is too……)
DIALOGUE
- It is now possible to change the job of 《Sword Lizard A》into [Slave]. Would you like to change it? YES / NO
(This one will be NO)
Once you acquired a job, it will be easy for you to change back to it but most people definitely won’t turn back into a slave out of their own will.
When I tamed Josephine the greater slime, the same dialogue box is also appeared but I let it keep its slime job. Because I think that there would be some hidden risk if someone were to level up the [Slave] skill.
[Slave] and [Misfortune] will generate passive skill that will give negative impact like a weakness passive. You could think of them as one of a kind. By just being a slave would make other people to unconditionally discriminate you and your freedom will be restricted. It was also the same with sword fighter slave. But if they keep working as a mercenary then their slave skill will gradually decreases and when the slave skill reaches zero, then they will finally get released. That was the slavery system back in the game.
Well, whatever the case, I command the two sword lizards to hide somewhere so that they won’t be targeted by the other monsters. From the gaze that the sword lizards gave to me before they go on hiding, I could feel a slight feeling of devotion even if it was just a bit. After seeing the two lizards off, I silently continue on rushing to the depth of the cave.
