‘what?’
A system message suddenly appeared.
It was the contents that the skill level, which had not changed at all, had risen.
‘Suddenly like this?’
There are also cases where the skill level suddenly rises through a certain trigger.
In particular, it was more difficult to raise the proficiency of S-class top-notch skills by simply using them repeatedly, so there was a greater tendency to rely on skill.
And now, such a situation has appeared to me.
‘It’s transcendental power… .’
My father’s Diablic Requiem must be on a different level from mine.
It is natural that he is the creator of the technology.
The Diablic Requiem that such a father used with the determination to destroy the opponent without fail.
I never thought my skill level would rise just by touching the remnants of it.
I checked my skills again.
＜Dablic Requiem＞ LV 2.
A skill that can only be used by those who have mastered the Diablic Force.
It amplifies and emits condensed demonic energy, boasting the power of a one-hit kill.
It is divided into three levels of proficiency, and depending on the proficiency level, the power, range, and form of the skill change.
‘The level has gone up, though.’
But other than that, nothing has changed.
There is no explanation at all about what has changed since the level has risen.
‘In the end, I’ll have to try it myself to find out.’
It was said that the power, range, and shape were different, so it was clear that it was stronger than when it was level 1.
‘Shall we try it here?’
Anyway, this place was devastated by past battles.
There was nothing to be wary of, so it was perfect for an experiment.
“If you don’t mind, can I practice here?”
“of course. I sometimes practice my magic here too.”
“thank you.”
I slowly made my way to the center of the ruins.
‘Whoa.’
Magi compressed through the Diablic Force.
Magi, which flowed calmly, began to run wild explosively.
The rough Magi found a way out and got stuck in both hands.
“Dablic Requiem.”
finally spewed out.
Quarreureung!
A wild roar echoed through the air.
At the same time, the flames of the red demonic air spread all over the place.
‘different.’
Diablic Requiem, previously in the form of a red beam.
But now it was spreading its influence on a much wider range than that.
For comparison, level 1 is a spear.
Level 2 could be called a net.
A net made of windows.
The storm of red demonic spirits that raged furiously to annihilate everything around them reached its destination and caused a secondary explosion.
aaang!
The sweltering heat heated the surrounding air and melted the ground.
Diablic Requiem made the already ruined surroundings even more desolate.
‘It definitely got stronger.’
Of course, the amount of magic consumed increased.
It wasn’t as much as when he first used Diablic Requiem, but almost half of his magic was consumed at once.
‘It will take some time to get used to.’
As much as the level went up, I had to practice how to control it.
It didn’t feel too bad though.
No, I could say I was very happy.
Skill enhancement was always welcome.
“Oh oh. As expected, Kyler-sama also learned Diablo-sama’s skills.”
Luke uttered a low exclamation.
Seeing it made me feel a little proud.
“How does it compare to your father?”
“Yes? ah… .”
Even without listening to the answer, I was able to know the answer just by looking at it.
“Looks like we still have a long way to go.”
“haha. Maybe it’s because the years I’ve lived are different. Besides, what about Diablo-sama’s technique… It felt a bit different.”
“How do you feel?”
“Power is also power, but… It was because I felt a certain energy from technology that I couldn’t explain in words.”
“It’s an unknown energy… I kind of understand.”
In the first place, it was still lacking in many ways to be on the same line as the founder of technology.
It’s just been raised to level 2.
Later, if Diablic Requiem went up to level 3, he wouldn’t be able to realize it, so there was no need to be impatient.
“The Chaos Stone I gave to Kyler-nim.”
“yes.”
“This is the place where I found the Chaos Stone.”
“Is that so?”
Chaos Stone is a mineral that is naturally created by absorbing nearby demonic energy.
It was proof that the amount of magic that flowed from the battle between his father and the Bone Dragon was that great.
‘It might be possible to artificially create Chaos Stones when I become the Great Demon King.’
It was a moment when I felt again how great my father, Diablo, was.
“Then shall we go back to the village now?”
“All right.”
A place I visited by chance while just looking around town.
To find traces of his father there and get a chance to strengthen his skills.
‘Am I really lucky?’
It was a pleasant day in many ways, including the Chaos Stone obtained from Luke.
* * *
Our party stayed two more days in Slime Village.
Originally, it was planned to stay only for one day, but the time for Jetty to be taught by Luke got longer, so he stayed one more day.
But it was not a meaningless time.
“haha. I am learning well.”
Lane learned various techniques from the slime blacksmiths and was able to obtain good materials.
-it was fun. let’s play together next time
Xeon only had fun playing with the little slimes, but if he had fun, that would be a great harvest.
“Thank you for caring about various things.”
I also gained a lot, so it was okay to take a day off.
“no. Our village will welcome you whenever you visit.”
The slimes who met Luke’s words spoke in unison.
“Right. You are our friends.”
“I’ll make you something delicious next time you come.”
“Hammer friend. I’ll prepare some good minerals, so come play again.”
Jetty approached the slimes saying goodbye.
“See you all next time. I will learn hard in Demonic and come back stronger.”
“You don’t have to push yourself too hard. Adults aren’t weak enough to burden you yet. And there are no entities threatening our village.”
“Hehe. I know.”
“I look forward to seeing you next time.”
Luke greeted us as the village representative.
“Me too.”
“Please take good care of Jetty. Mr. Kylers.”
“You don’t have to worry.”
Luke steps back after making a request to Jetty.
We climbed onto the prepared magic circle.
“How are you all!”
At the end of Jetty’s greeting, the magic circle emitted light.

Ugh-
We are back with Demonic.
– I want to go play again next time.
“If I can afford it, I will.”
“Mr Kylers. May I go to work right away?”
For this outing, Lane was able to obtain many different materials besides the ones he wanted.
It seemed that his hands were itching to use those materials.
“Do it.”
There is nothing to do with Lane.
Besides, it was to strengthen my sword, so it was welcome from my point of view if I started working quickly.
I didn’t have to be sorry because I did it because I wanted to, not because I was forced to.
“All right. Little Spirit, will you come with me?”
-Shall we go!
Xeon, who likes to look at Lane’s work, replied excitedly, and left the seat with Lane.
“Jetty. What are you going to do?”
“Well… There is something I learned from Uncle Luke this time, but I want to practice alone.”
“I get it. Then we’ll see you later.”
Jetty goes back to the dorm and I am left alone.
Coincidentally, I also had a destination set.
It was Toby’s house.
‘I wonder if Toby found out something from Richie.’
It seemed better to go and check it out for yourself.
I moved to the inn where Toby was staying.
* * *
Accommodation where Toby stays.
The door was open because I had contacted them in advance to visit.
“Quaaagh!”
A scream is heard through the open door.
It was a scream that was so desperate that the listener’s mool-I was going to go to the middle of the day.
‘You seem to be doing well.’

Upon entering, the first thing that caught my eye was more than ten magic circles.
They were all different in size, pattern, and energy, but they had one thing in common.
That was the direction the magic circle was heading.
A magic circle all directed toward the lich.
Screams flowed from the lich buried between the magic circles.
“Oh, are you here?”
“yes. Did you find out anything?”
“There is, but it’s a little vague.”
Toby rubbed his beak with his wings.
This is Toby’s habit when he doesn’t like something.
“This guy was just a small pup.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s just about running errands. It doesn’t seem like you’re actually in the same class as Delune.”
I was a little taken aback.
After all, Richie’s abilities were quite high.
Same level as Demonic’s professors.
The fact that such an existence was simply used as an errand boy meant that Delune’s power could be stronger than expected.
“So you didn’t get any information?”
“I found out they were building something, but I don’t know what it is. In the first place, this guy was just ordered to get the goods and deliver them.”
It won’t be easy to catch him since he’s been infamous for decades.
I confided in Luke about the Bone Dragon.
“Is it really?”
“yes. I think they were up to something even 20 years ago.”
“Hmm… It looks like something is being drawn. Yes, was it like that?”
Organizing his thoughts, Toby slowly opened his mouth.
“The Bone Dragon they made. It is a very powerful weapon.”
I hadn’t seen it myself, but it was clear that it was strong.
It’s a monster created based on the existence of a dragon, so it’s strange if it’s not strong.
Even in games and novels, this dragon is described as being very strong.
“It is not that easy to make. It takes a long time and the materials are difficult to obtain.”
“Surely so.”
“But it seems that their plan got twisted from the fact that Diablo-nim destroyed such a Bone Dragon.”
I don’t know what their purpose was at that time, but the Bone Dragon, which I worked hard for, disappeared.
If so, that was to be expected.
“Are you saying you’re recreating the bone dragon that was destroyed in the conflict 20 years ago?”
“I think so.”
“Well… .”
Delune’s ultimate goal is to revive the great demon king, Astaroth.
This dragon would also be one of the means to achieve that goal.
“I’m guessing the guys’ plan is disrupted.”
“right. Since the guy procuring the materials has been caught, I think there will be a slight delay.”
However, it is unknown how many Delune’s limbs there are.
Even at this moment, other guys could have been looking for materials.
“This demon realm is incredibly wide. It’s not easy to catch Delune and his men moving stealthily.”
“Hasn’t the information been passed on to the other great demon kings and high-ranking demons?”
“It was passed on. But it’s a problem because there aren’t enough forces to move properly yet.”
“Why?”
Toby let out a small sigh.
“Because it’s a situation that doesn’t touch the skin right now.”
I understand to some extent.
A notorious black magician of the past.
It is definitely a dangerous existence.
The purpose he is plotting, too.
However, Delune has not yet shown a full-fledged movement.
If their forces were damaged, they would actively move, but that was not the case.
It felt like they were looking into each other’s eyes.
“Besides, the higher the level of demons, the more overconfident they are in their own strength.”
“You mean you think you can defeat it even if you resurrect?”
“That’s right. Anyway, even if Astaros is resurrected, it will be difficult to regain the power of the past. In other words, they seem to think that all they need to do is catch Astaros.”
It is a thought worthy of beings living in the demon realm.
‘Perhaps my father is similar.’
The reason they blew away Delun’s Bone Dragon in the past was probably because they met by chance.
It won’t be free enough to go through the trouble of going there first.
“Still, Trevius, whom Harold serves, seems to have a slightly different idea.”
“is that so?”
“As expected, Harold, who visited the castle of demons, is scheduled to return today.”
And as if they had waited, the magic circle in the corner started emitting light.
