Chapter 36: Demon King’s Resolve
Hiiro’s eyes widened as he saw a certain part of his status.
As the result was as he predicted, his sense of expectation started surging uncontrollably within him. He wanted to test it immediately. However, for now his first priority was to ascertain its abilities.
MP Cost: 300
It has now become possible for Hiiro to chain two words. Compared to the single word invocation, this ability grant an exceedingly stronger effect when activated. Effective Range; Power of Influence; Versatility; even though all these aspects are exceptionally enhanced, there exists an adverse limitation. Depending on the word, words with incredibly short effective duration exist. Also, unless the image of the character is clearly imprinted in the mind when executing the skill, the word itself would not be able to be written.
In addition, should the writing of the two word be interrupted, the will cause a 50% reduction in all status fields, as well as rendering the caster to be unable to use magic. All stats and abilities will be returned to normal after a 6 hour time lapse.
Hiiro: (This is another magic that has very strong abilities, but a nasty , huh…)
If an attempt at writing two words failed or is interrupted, there seems to be a significant effect in store.
Hiiro: (It reduces everything by half huh… Writing two words is something that takes time. Should I use it, I need to be extremely wary of my surroundings.)
Indeed, if someone disrupted Hiiro while he was writing, and if the opponent was a formidable foe, it wouldn’t be strange if such a penalty lead to immediate death.
Hiiro: (However, it is only this level of risk. As expected, it’s only natural as its effects are reasonable compared to the risk.)
Nevertheless, Hiiro was thrilled. It couldn’t be helped that he was looking forward to all the things he could do. He wanted to quickly set some time aside so he could be alone and try it out, or so he thought.
Arnold: “Ou~ Hiiro, did you also get something like a title?”
Hiiro: “Who knows, how ‘bout you?” (Hiiro)
Arnold: “W-well, I kinda think you’re completely to blame for one of these titles but, I want to have a thorough discussion with you about this. I got a title called ”
Hiiro: “Hou~”
Arnold: “It seems that you can get any kind of correction. That’s what I got. How ‘bout you, Muir?”
Muir: “Ah, un. It’s just too amazing, I don’t quite know how to put it…”
When Muir read out her , Arnold couldn’t hide his surprise as his jaw dropped with a pop.
Arnold: “I-it really rose, huh….your level…” (Arnold)
Muir: “U, un. I feel a little happy, yet a little sad ….I think?”
Her feelings must be in turmoil. Being at Level 34 would be the sign of an experienced adventure. However, the girl in question has never stood on the front lines and fought. And yet, the fact that she has reached that level would probably feel like reality has become faded.
However, the fact that her body had become lighter and that she could feel some sort of power inside of her made her calm.
Arnold: “Well, isn’t it fine? A level is a level. No matter how high your level is, I think it is better to be like Muir and be doubtful of your own abilities instead of getting arrogant and overestimating them.” (Arnold)
Muir: “R-really?”
Arnold: “Yeah, well, I doubt Muir will become overconfident, but just accept the reality for now. You will become useful if you work hard. Everything starts from here, is what I’m trying to say.”
Muir: “U, un!” (Muir)
Saying thus to Arnold, Muir returned a vigorous nod. Indeed, it has been decided that from now on, she herself will also fight. It is precisely because of this that she must think about how to become stronger in anticipation of the future.
Arnold: “We should be happy that our guild rank also increased. Yours rose as well, right?”
Hiiro: “Aa”
Muir: “Un!”
Arnold: “As I thought, forming a party in this place was a life saver, huh…”
Put simply, even if a person fights and the other members watch, their experience will undoubtedly rise.
Arnold: “Since it was thanks to Hiiro and Muir that the clay viper was killed, making a party was definitely a good choice”
Although Arnold was the one who made the killing blow, he believed that if he were by himself he would have urely ran. Thus, he gave them the credit.
Hiiro: “Anyway, I’m going on ahead. That’s…that, isn’t it?”
