I conveyed the hypothesis I came up with to Sebastian.
‘What do you think it would be like to use it for a skill?’
＜Skill? There is a possibility. No, you can.＞
Sebastian’s confident voice.
＜Skills can also be seen as a kind of magic. If it can be applied to magic, then it will also be possible with skills. In addition, the master can create enough variables, beings with status windows.＞
‘That’s right.’
I immediately checked the status bar.
◆ Name: Kyler Diablick
◆ Age: 18
◆ Stats: Strength (1,005) Agility (1,013) Magi (1,064) Endurance (1,046) Dignity (124)
◆ Skills: Diablic Force (S) Lv 6, Diablic Requiem (S) Lv 2, Indomitability (S) Lv 2, Demonic Barrier (A), Demon Fear (A)
‘My ability level has risen a lot more than I thought.’
This time, the effect of going through several battles at the sports day was evident.
It seemed that the battle between the hero and Lucifer had a big impact.
‘Except for majesty, everything went up by a thousand.’
overwhelming growth.
It was a strength that was hard to find an opponent among his peers.
‘Of course, except for Lucifer.’
Although his abilities have risen, it is still difficult to reach Lucifer.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to raise the ability level with a magic book?’
But I had to shake my head.
Even if you could raise it, it’s not an efficient choice.
‘Anyway, abilities can be raised through training and various experiences.’
Besides, I have the best Chaos Stone.
I didn’t like raising my stats with magic books.
I moved my gaze to the skill window.
Various types of skills were showing off their presence.
‘It’s good to use it for skills that can’t be leveled up.’
Demonic Barrier and Demon Fear were the corresponding skills.
But Demon Fear is excluded.
It was because there was no need to strengthen the skill.
‘Demon Fear is effective when dealing with many enemies weaker than me. Even if it gets better than it is now, it doesn’t look very useful.’
＜That’s what I think.＞
‘The magic barrier… It would definitely be nice if it was uploaded.’
However, strengthening the demon barrier was also not very appealing.
Blocking an opponent’s attack using magic.
It should be seen that the effect is strengthened on its own as my demon stats increase and the Diablic Force becomes stronger.
It’s not like you don’t need to upgrade your skills.
Then all that was left was the skills to level up.
Diabloc Force.
Diablick Requiem.
indomitable.
All skills are 1 level higher than the first.
Among them, Diablic Force can be raised to level 10, after which the skill can be evolved.
In a way, it can be seen as the skill that needs to be raised the fastest.
‘By the way, if I use a magic book, will I only go up one level?’
If the skill evolves by going up to level 3 or 4 at once, it is appropriate to use it for Diablic Force.
But what about level 1 enhancement?
‘It’s correct to choose between Diablic Requiem, where the 3rd stage is the final stage, or Indomitable, where the efficiency is overwhelmingly improved even with the 1st stage enhancement.’
And my thoughts were leaning to one side.
Diablick Requiem.
Luke, the chief of Slime Village, said that my Diablic Requiem is different from my father’s.
So, if you enter the final stage, the form of the skill will be the same even if the power is different, so strengthening Diablek Requiem was the best choice.
‘I will strengthen Diablic Requiem.’
＜This is a good choice.＞
‘Did I just tear up the magic book?’
＜Yes, that’s right.＞
I immediately picked up the old scroll and tore it in two halves.

Ugh-
When the magic book was torn apart, golden energy flowed out from between them. And he began to create letters in the air.
-Choose what you want to enhance.-
There was no reason to hesitate as long as the decision had already been made.
“I will strengthen Diablic Requiem.”
-Confirmed.-

Ugh-
The golden letters turned into smoke again and seeped into my body.
After a while, letters appeared in the air again.
– The level of the target is far too high. It’s not enough to transcend, so please choose another target.-
what is this again?
‘Not enough?’
Everything can be strengthened, but there seems to be a limit.
‘The fact that the level of Diablic Requiem went up was actually possible thanks to luck. Then, is the third stage more difficult than that?’
Instead of an answer, the strengthening spell was repeating only the words to select another target.
I felt like I had to give up on raising the level of Diablic Requiem.
Then, the only remaining option is indomitable.
‘Fortitude isn’t bad either.’
In the future, you will continue to encounter the powerful of the Demon World.
And my goal is to eventually surpass them.
In the fight against the strong, indomitability was a skill that was activated unconditionally, so there was no harm in raising the level.
“I will strengthen my fortitude.”

Ugh-
Again, the golden letters turned into smoke and permeated my body.
The moment you worry about what will happen if you fail this time again.
[The level of the skill Indomitable has risen.]
A system message informed of the successful hardening.
The magic book that successfully completed the mission disappeared as powder, and the golden aura also disappeared.
“Did it really happen?”
I checked the indomitable skill window.
＜Indomitable (S)＞ LV 3.
When fighting an opponent stronger than you, your stats increase by 30%.
The greater the difference in stats with the opponent, the greater the effect increases up to 40%.
As the skill level increases, the amplification rate increases.
‘It’s not bad, but it’s a bit disappointing.’
If my stats reached the thousandth level, at least 300 and at most 400 stats would go up.
It’s obviously a great effect, but I couldn’t help but regret that I chose it instead of Diablic Requiem.
At that time, a message appeared to soothe my disappointment.
[An active effect is added to Indomitable from level 3.]
* * *
‘Active effect?’
Indomitability that is activated passively is active.
I checked the added explanation.
[When used, the amplification rate is fixed at 60% for 10 minutes. After that, the activation of Fortitude is restricted for 1 hour.]
‘This… Are you okay?’
Amplification rate of 60%.
If you use it now, you will have 1,600 stats for 10 minutes.
Similar abilities to Lucifer, who was so hard to deal with.
Of course, there is a time limit of 10 minutes, and after that, you will not receive the effect of Indomitable for 1 hour.
When facing a truly formidable opponent, 10 minutes is enough time to decide the outcome.
‘Besides, it’s great that I can decide the timing.’
What if my abilities instantly go up to 60% when I think my opponent has figured out my capabilities to some extent?
I was able to create enough variables by embarrassing myself.
‘In addition, even if the gap with the opponent is not large, if the ability increases by 60%… I can do a much overwhelming battle.’
The passive state of Indomitability is most effective when the gap with the opponent is large.
However, the active skill is unconditionally fixed at 60%.
It was a story that if an opponent had a difference of 100 or 200 in stats, a situation would be created in an instant where I was ahead by 400 or more.
‘The more I look at it, the better it gets.’
It’s a pity that I couldn’t strengthen Diablic Requiem, but I was satisfied enough with this level.
Even if I had to fight Lucifer again right away, things would be different.
＜Congratulations.＞
‘Thank you.’
Now that the rewards have been used perfectly, the only thing left is to decide the future direction.
‘Honestly, Lucifer’s plan doesn’t appeal to me that much.’
I have no intention of participating in the absurd goal of aiming for another dimension.
But I liked being the strongest.
‘First, set the goal of surpassing Lucifer.’
It was unrealistic to target Harold, the Duke of Ethlon, or Toby, who could not even check their abilities.
However, although Lucifer is strong, he is a borderline being who can catch up with him.
‘It’s not about winning with the indomitable effect, I have to go up to a purely similar level.’
Lucifer wouldn’t be standing still, so in the end, I had to satisfy my own strength, not my skills.
And it doesn’t seem like a bad thing to gather talented people around me and create a strong force.
‘Like Lucifer gathering the student council members.’
I didn’t care much at first, but after talking with Lucifer, I found out.
That he didn’t just become student council president for honor or show off.
I also thought it would be good to create forces that are together to some extent.
‘First of all, it’s not that there aren’t talented people around me.’
Right now, there is Erina, who is of the same lineage of the Great Demon King, and Serenia, the daughter of the Succubus Queen, who is not the Great Demon King but is placed in a similar class.
Albion and Jetty were also friends with outstanding talent.
Even Herculus, whose identity is unknown, but often gets involved.
‘Considering that the members of the student council joined the group more than a year ago, given time, the other students can also become stronger.’
But the most important thing is to be strong myself.
In the end, if I couldn’t overcome Lucifer, it meant nothing.
‘Is there any way to achieve rapid growth in a short period of time?’
Being impatient can have the opposite effect.
But even knowing that, it was difficult to hide the impatience.
‘for now… It’s training.’
As you practice, you may come up with an unexpected path.
And after a while, it happened that such a road appeared before my eyes.
* * *
“Did you understand my story?”
A training ground where friends always gather.
There, I confided about my affair with Lucifer.
And my goals and future plans.
“Well… Is that why you want to beat up your seniors?”
Albion’s words seemed to have been seriously omitted.
But in a way, it wasn’t wrong.
“Let’s say you want to beat the seniors.”
“I am in favor. I was going to follow you, Kyle, no matter what.”
Albion easily gave permission.
Next was Jetty.
“I like everything Kyler does, too.”
I’m worried that this guy understands correctly, but since he said he’s with me anyway, I decided to move on.
And the last is Erina.
‘Maybe he’s the most important guy among them.’
Individual skills are also skills, but even if it’s because of the background behind them, being together will be of great help.
Since I have a weakness, I will follow my words, but I didn’t want to force myself into it.
“What matters is your will. You don’t have to look at me.”
“Does it sound like fun? It’s an opponent you have to overcome in the end anyway. And neither do you.”
“It sounds like you’re going to betray me later.”
At my words, Erina smiled bashfully.
“No. When I become stronger than you, you become my subordinate.”
“What… That’s not going to happen, though.”
“Anyway, I’ll join you in your plans.”
“i get it.”
All the friends I became close to after entering Demonic were in favor of my plan.
I was a little worried that there might be people who didn’t like it, but I’m glad I did.
‘I’ll have to ask Herculus when I meet him later.’
With that level of skill, it was clear that he would continue to grow into a strong player in the future.
The more talents there were, the better, so there was nothing wrong with having Herculus join them.
‘Oh, and Serenia was there too.’
Her direct combat power is relatively weak, but her innate power of fascination will surely help her in many ways.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t see him often these days.’
When he was bored, he used to find the training grounds, but he hadn’t been seen since he had been to the Ethlon estate.
I saw her name on the scoreboard at the sports day, so I’m pretty sure she’s inside the demonic, but I couldn’t tell what she was doing.
‘He’s not the kind of guy who’s going to get hit anywhere, so he’ll show up on his own when the time comes.’
Then I saw someone running from far away.
I checked the other person’s face and shook my head lightly.
‘That guy isn’t even a nobleman.’
It was Serenia who came running with an urgent face.
“haha.”
Serenia, who arrived in front of me, breathed heavily.
It seemed that he had been busy running, as if he had something quite urgent.
Serenia caught her breath and opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Kyler Diablick. Please go to the succubus castle with me.”
what is this again?
