71 – The Trial of Nothingness – 2
“…”
-Did it happen?
“……”
-Why are you not talking?
“Because of whom I had a good night’s sleep.”
-I don’t know who he is, but he seems to be a very kind-hearted person.
When I opened my eyes and woke up, the surroundings were not the dark underground caves I had last seen, but inside the room I use in the imperial castle.
It seems that Veronica brought her here on the day she lost her mind.
“…A lion head corpse? I have to eat it..”
-I thought the king would want it, so I kept it.
“You eat because you have to, rather than want to.”
-Okay, be quiet and eat that.
“..That one?”
That’s it?
Looking around, nothing seems to be there.
-Isn’t it possible to bring that large demon’s corpse to the imperial castle?
“…Then how did you get it?”
-I didn’t need to eat all the parts of the corpse anyway, so I cut them up and brought them.
“…Um…?”
Looking at it now, there was a strange black lump on the table in the room.
Looking at its appearance, it looks like a large jelly filled with oil… Could this be the flesh of the lion’s head?
-I tried to be considerate of the king and put it as beautifully as possible.
“…Is that a beautiful thing?”
– Didn’t you say that it was ‘as beautiful as possible’?
Okay, let’s think positively.
What if what I see now is Aloken’s flesh? What if that was a head with a burst brain and blood leaking out?
…I would still eat it…After all, if you have [Baal Zebub], You won’t feel the taste.
“I can’t even do this…”
– You can become stronger if you endure it once, but why are you so dissatisfied?
“Then would you like to try it?”
-‘Unfortunately’ I can’t eat the devil’s corpse because it’s highly toxic.
Yes, I am the only one suffering in the end.
From noble mtl dot com
[Baal Zebub is activated.]
[You have acquired Magic Resistance LV 8.]
[You have acquired Magi LV 9.]
[You have acquired Dark Magic LV 7.]
[You have learned Demon Duke.]
[Demon Duke: General demons can be subjugated. Reduces damage received from titled demons (Baron 95%, Viscount 80%, Earl 60%, Marquis 40%, Duke 20%) Increases damage dealt to titled demons (Baron 95%, Viscount 80%) , Earl 60%, Marquis 40%, Duke 20%) ]
“Crunching…… Um…”
-Ambiguous.
“Isn’t it?”
A total of 4 abilities obtained by absorbing Alokken.
There were quite a number of [Demonic Resistance], [Demonic], [Dark Magic], And [Demon Duke] Respectively.
In addition, the level values of the other normal abilities are all high except for the unique ability [Demon Duke], So it would have been a satisfactory result if it was normal…
“Is this useful?”
-I don’t know.
“I’m not going to fight the devil anyway…”
Magi is mana that only demons can use.
In other words, if you don’t fight demons, you actually have [Demon Resistance LV 8], But it was said that it was a one-mana ability.
Besides, [Mage LV 9] Also didn’t mean much to me, who uses void mana.
Isn’t it okay to use it as a coating for wind attribute magic? You might think that, but rather than using mana to create magic, it was clear that it would be more efficient to invest that much in void mana.
In the case of [Dark Magic LV 7], The effect was good, but it wouldn’t mean much because the concept overlaps with the blood magic obtained from [Circle of the Blood Witch]…
[Demon Duke], The only unique ability, is probably not very useful because it only works against ‘demons’.
In other words, I gained a lot, but in reality I didn’t get stronger at all.
“Oh…You ate a demon, so of course you get demon-related abilities…But that’s a bit disappointing.”
-Still, don’t you know? Will I meet the devil again someday?
“..Could you stop saying something sinister? You say that, so it really seems like it.”
Although Veronica had recovered most of the demon stones capable of summoning demons, there was a good chance that they remained somewhere, as in this case.
Of course, it must be a very slim chance, but it was true that I was a little uneasy because I was secretly good at this part.
-Don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of it myself, as long as it’s not a great devil within 10 seats.
“10 Seats…?”
-It’s a name that divides the ranks of demons, with 1 seat being the highest and 72 seats being the lowest. Of course, among the demons not included in the 72 seats, there are demons stronger than the 1st seat, so it is not a perfect ranking, but roughly speaking, the closer you get to the 1st seat, the stronger the demon.
“Then what was this demon I ate?”
-52 Seok, although he is a demon duke, a high title does not necessarily mean he is a strong demon.
“So the ability absorbed by [Baal Zebub] Was [Demon Duke].”
A duke is definitely a title that means the highest rank among nobles.
Does that mean that the lion Veronica killed had a very tall head unlike his appearance?
-Aloken is a demon with powerful weapons, worthy of being nicknamed the Devil of the Sword.
“Come to think of it, the lion-headed guy was holding a greatsword, right? He was ignorantly tall. From the outside, he looked like he could split mountains.”
-Anyway, isn’t it a sword?
“That’s right.”
As someone who possesses both sword and magic abilities, I can assure you that swordsmanship was rubbish.
No, to be exact, the act of fighting with a weapon in close quarters was foolish.
Someone only consumes mana and unleashes wide-range attacks, but someone has to deal with them one by one while using both mana and stamina at the same time. How unfair is this structure?
Of course, the story is a little different if you can smash enemies from a distance like the Beast King or Hubert.
-But the king needs to learn a little about swordsmanship.
“..Me?”
-The biggest problem with the king’s fighting style is that he is too ignorant. I didn’t learn combat skills from someone, but because I learned them through actual combat, I can’t help but think of shooting and pressing them with force.
“But I’m a wizard? Isn’t that how wizards fight?”
-When did the magic swordsman say it was a dream?
“Ah…Was it…?”
Currently, I had an outstanding warrior-related unique ability called [Soul of the Sword Master].
I didn’t care because I didn’t have much to write about…
-The [Soul of the Swordsman] Ability will be superior to any other ability to those who systematically learn swordsmanship, but to those who fight ignorantly like a king, it will be trash that is less than even a normal ability.
“..That’s why I need to learn swordsmanship to use the [Sword’s soul] Ability?”
-That’s the correct answer.
I really want to do that, but…
Wouldn’t it be better to improve your magic skills while learning swordsmanship?
There were only two reasons why I chose [Soul of the Sword Master] When I was in the labyrinth.
The first is romance. When I was choosing my ability, I personally thought that there was nothing as cool as using magic and swordsmanship at the same time, and that was not much different now.
Secondly, I thought this world was not a real rpg game.
Most of the rpg games that exist in my hometown, Earth, a character called a magician who uses magic and swordsmanship at the same time is expressed as a garbage position.
A character who is weak in distance and weak in melee.
However, this was only possible because it was simply confined to the frame of a ‘game’, and I thought that using swordsmanship and magic at the same time would be much stronger in real life.
That’s it.
In the end, the magic swordsman was trash. Before that, the swordsmanship itself was a bug.
It was better to chant magic while approaching the opponent, and if you think you will be attacked by the opponent, just install a shield and that’s it.
-The king doesn’t seem to know about the possibilities of swordsmanship yet.
“What hope is there for swordsmanship?”
Even with the constellation swordsmanship used by Hubert, one of the four greats of the continent, it was swordsmanship only in name, but in reality it was no different from magic.
Borrow the power of the constellation to strengthen the body? No, how the f*ck is this swordsmanship, magic.
-Do you remember the map I gave to the king?
“..Map? Remember. Why?”
-Remember the marks painted on the Imperial territory?
“Of course. That’s why you came to the Empire.”
-If you go to the place marked on the map, you will know the true value of swordsmanship.
The place marked on the map was a large rocky mountain located a short distance from Eos, the capital of the empire.
It’s an area where monsters frequently appear, so it’s marked as forbidden…
-To be precise, it’s not that monsters often appear, it’s that orcs often appear.
“Orcs? Fat dogs with green skin, teeth sticking out, and muscular arms?”
– What are you talking about? Orcs don’t have green skin, and they don’t have protruding teeth.
“Ah…Really?”
Orc.
On Earth, they are a standard fantasy race that is consumed with a lot of elements.
There are several settings for orcs, but they are generally described as having green skin, a fat body, a large body, and protruding teeth.
But from what Veronica said, the Orcs in this world are a bit different.
-It is said that the Orcran race are highly intelligent creatures that make me question why they are treated as monsters. Of course, it is true that their intelligence is inferior to that of humans or other sub-species, but their pride as warriors is superior to that of any other race.
“You mean very belligerent in one word?”
-That’s right.
What do the orcs of this world really look like?
It’s not green skin, it’s not toothy, it’s not fat.
Couldn’t this just be a race with the same name as an orc I know?
“Oh, come to think of it, am I over level 60?”
-…Did you notice now?
“Status.”

When I checked my status, my level had risen to 63 before I knew it.
That would mean you can use the special point shop again.
“Special point shop.”
[The special point shop opens.]
[Purchasable List]
-Red Dragon’s Heart
-Heart of the Blue Dragon
-Green Dragon’s Heart
-Brown dragon heart
-Heart of the White Dragon
-Black Dragon’s Heart
The last time it was definitely a witch special, but this time it seems to be a dragon special.
Let’s think about it. Considering the characteristics of the special point shops that have appeared so far, it is very likely that the abilities were divided according to attributes.
Then the red dragon’s heart is fire, the blue dragon is water, green is wind, brown is earth, white is light, and black is darkness…
Of course, it’s just my prediction, but considering the simplicity of the system I’ve seen so far, it’s a story with enough potential.
-First of all, I recommend thinking about excluding white and black dragons.
“White and black? Why?”
-The white dragon is a dragon with excellent healing abilities. Then it wouldn’t be of much use to a king with [Purity]. A black dragon won’t help much, either, given the king’s fighting style.
“Ooh…”
Then there are only four left. [Red Dragon Heart, [Blue Dragon Heart], [Green Dragon Heart], [Brown Dragon Heart]
I personally liked [Heart of the Red Dragon], But it would be a big disappointment if I chose it ignorantly and then the [Suzaku’s Fire] Abilities and effects overlapped.
“Hmm…”
– Hard to choose?
“To be honest, isn’t it?”
-Then why don’t you think about it slowly? There’s probably no time limit anyway.
Huh? That’s right.
Why did I bother to choose now?
-If a situation comes that requires a specific ability, shouldn’t you think about it then?
“Right…Yes?”
-I’ve been thinking about it lately, but it seems that the king sometimes loses his intelligence.
Originally, having a good study head doesn’t mean that other heads are also excellent.
I agree with Veronica. MC often loses his intelligence :v
