189 – final build
I snapped the sword that had been stabbed in the boss’s neck sideways. With a crunching sound, the guy’s neck twisted and the vampiric urge kicked in, filling up his HP.
Pulled out the wingless nightmare. The boss’ corpse fell backwards with a thud. This one was also a palette swap, so I wasn’t very impressed. I didn’t have to hold the body, so I just filtered it.
As I said, Nyx, who was calmly watching the boss fight in the distance, came running.
“Kihihi, is that the end?”
“It will be like that. You just need to learn this. Then what I said will be over.”
Nyx handed over the staff he was holding. I took it and held it in my right hand.
Black magic did not have a separate medium like a magic wand or divine catalyst, but was used with bare hands, so it had only one purpose.
Rune dispel magic.
‘It was to the point where I was embarrassed to be treated like that.’
Wearing the ring Minerva gave her and visiting the wizards in the nearby city, she got a similar reaction to when she met the Paladins wearing the Pope’s brooch.
It looked like he was struggling to somehow not go against my heart. It was to the point where I wondered if it was the wizard NPCs who were famous for being rude in the game.
If I said one wrong word, I was going to pull out the entire workshop and dedicate it, so after receiving only a staff and a rune canceling magic, I ran away and headed for the second place.
A rune dungeon for the final build of a melee character in Nyala Mode. A place where you can get the so-called ‘life force conversion’ rune.
The rune that allows me to ignore the debuff of battle fatigue was the first thing I stopped by and got it in advance. It was so simple that it seemed futile to have made the plan a long time ago and put it off until now.
‘Nyx did everything to come this far.’
If there was no teleportation, it would have taken at least a few months just to go back and forth. Again, I thought I was lucky to have Nyx, Minerva, and the Pope sisters.
“Kihihi, why?”
Perhaps feeling his gaze, Nyx smiled sullenly and looked up at me.
“yes? no. Good job. I was using teleportation.”
“Then what about the reward?”
“reward? Like what?”
“Just one is enough for me. Hee hee.”
With a sullen laugh, her slender fingers tapped my right hand.
He changed his wand, raised his right hand, and placed it on his head. When I felt the warm warmth, Nix clung to me with a snort.
Whether it was a short-spoken Nix or a respectful Nix, I liked being stroked to the point where I was amazed at how I was petting them both. It was unknown what had happened to cause him to become like this.
After stroking it for a while, he let go of his hand, approached the rune stone, and raised his staff. According to the knowledge contained in his head, he blew mana into it. Then the tip began to glow blue.
The tattoo on the back of his hand also shone as if resonating with him. As he was about to remove the mana boost rune, he paused for a moment at a sudden thought.
‘… … Come to think of it, what happens when I unlock the runes?’
It is said that there is a UI that stores runes separately in games, but this is not the case.
In the first place, this kind of magic or a specific device was required only when disabling the rune, and equipping the rune was easily done in the inventory window that came out by just pressing ESC.
But here, I wondered what would happen if the runes were unlocked. After I was possessed here, the only UI I saw was the stat window that came up with the ability confirmation orb.
‘Well, it will work somehow.’
It’s no longer needed anyway, and due to the setup, runes reappear straight away from somewhere in the world when the user is gone. Even if runes disappear, new rune dungeons will appear.
I focused on the back of my hand again. The tattoo was still shining through. As I moved my gaze to the tattoos, it came to my mind what type of rune each tattoo was for.
Without hesitation, I unlocked the ‘mana enhancement’ rune. From now on, I didn’t really need it.
The black tattoo disappeared as if absorbed by the back of the hand. Confirming that the magic was over, Nyx held out her hand. I gave the wand back to Nyx.
A long wooden pole was inserted between the breasts.
“… … .”
To be precise, it could be said that I just hugged her in my arms, but her breasts were too big and the clothes were the way she was dressed.
Nix was looking up at me with his usual sullen grin, as if he had no idea what he looked like.
‘… … yes. It’s not like that on purpose.’
If Lisena and the Pope sisters acted like that, it was 100% intentional. However, I wondered if the Knicks could have done that without really knowing.
I couldn’t imagine Nyx making up his mind and seducing me like the three of them. Even if he did something like that, it seemed that he would first think of it as cute rather than lewd or lewd.
maybe.
“Why? Hee hee.”
“No, nothing.”
I tickled my chin a few times and put my hand on the tombstone. Then, while closing my eyes, I focused my mind, and concentrated the power that began to stir my entire body into the back of my left hand.
I felt a tingling sensation on the back of my hand and opened my eyes when the pain was gone. As the runes disappeared, the empty space was filled with new tattoos.
‘This is the real end.’
When I thought that I had completed the final build, I felt strange.
It took less than expected. I thought it would take at least a few years to roam the entire continent. Nyx and Minerva’s help, especially Nyx’s, was great.
The name of the last rune obtained here was ‘Life Force Conversion’. The effect is to change the consumption of black magic into pure HP, not HP and mana.
Black magic consumes a small amount of HP along with mana. However, this rune was a rune that made it possible to use black magic only with HP without consuming mana.
Instead, the HP consumed is changed in proportion to the physical strength, not a fixed value. So even if the stamina stat increased even a little, the potion cost more, so it was not generally used.
‘It’s only limited when the stamina stat goes up.’
It means that HP is consumed as a percentage, which means that the lower the stamina stat, the higher the efficiency. Even more, like me now, if the physical stat was only 1, there was no need to say anything.
The HP consumption value changed by the life force conversion rune varied greatly from a minimum of 7% to a maximum of 30%, but it was not a big deal for a character with 1 physical stat.
Because max HP is only 100.
30% has to fly away from there to be 30, so even if you use black magic with the highest consumption value, the HP recovery of 50 HP from the impulse of vampirism is more than enough to make up for it.
This was the final build of the Nya Mod melee character. Now, all you have to do is come up with an opponent method for boss fights where you can’t use the vampire urge.
“Is it really over now?”
The rune tombstone, which had finished its work, was crumbled. Nyx, who had been staring at me with a cane between her breasts, trotted closer.
“End. I have to go back now.”
“Kee hee hee. okay.”
I had no desire to test the rune’s performance here. I’m going to be tired of it anyway, so why?
Nyx teleported as usual, and returned straight to my room at the top of the castle. I’ve used teleportation here so many times that I’ve been able to specify even these precise coordinates.
“uh?”
“ah.”
As soon as we entered the room, we ran into a completely unexpected person.
It was Lana.
That too, shaking my waist alone in my bed.
Lana, who was lying on the bed and rocking her hips back and forth by herself, turned pale when the two of us appeared with a jet-black glow. My fingers gripped the blanket, and my lips tightened.
At first, I thought it was because I was exposed to such a strange sight, but when I saw that his expression was getting serious, I realized a step later that Nix was the cause.
Upon seeing Lana, Nyx suddenly teleported away. Immediately, Lana’s pale complexion returned to normal. I was a little sorry for making you run away as soon as I got here.
It seemed like I needed to stroke it more vigorously later.
“Good afternoon. Delta.”
Lana, who seemed to have calmed down her emotions in that brief moment, casually raised her upper body, greeted her with that blunt expression.
“Good evening and good night, why are you lying in my bed? What was that just before?”
“It was a natural thing to do as a maid for my master.”
“If it’s your master, Aurora?”
“That’s right.”
Nod, Lana nodded. It was even weirder when he said it like that. What does the action just now have to do with Aurora?
As if she had read my expression, Lana made a nonchalant expression and continued speaking calmly.
“Wouldn’t it be possible that one day my master will lie down here? At that time, I was testing the condition of the mattress on the bed in advance to avoid straining my back. You will have to lie down for a very long time, but if you do that in a hard place, your back will go out again.”
“… … .”
I was at a loss as to where else to point it out. So now, I tested the condition of the mattress in advance in case I mix with Aurora here.
‘Is that right?’
“If you’re curious about how we tested it, we’ll show you.”
Lying back on the bed, Lana bent her knees and pulled her thighs up to her sides. With her thighs wide open in that state, her waist—
“Until there.”
“Yes.”
Lana got up as if she had been waiting for me to do that. Tuk-tuk, white-gloved hands straightened the crumpled maid uniform. His expression was still grim.
“… … Did you learn that from the lord too?”
“I was self-taught. Master is not in a position to teach me such jokes. It’s all because of Delta-sama.”
“me? what am i?”
I feel like I’ve heard it from the popes.
“Maybe the master still hasn’t forgotten the pleasure of that time, he’s busy playing with his fingers every night—”
“Let’s go there, and tell us why you’re here.”
“All right.”
I managed to shut my mouth, which was about to reveal everything, even the secret private life of my master. I’m sure he wasn’t like that before, but as the days went by, he started to change more and more.
“A guest came from the imperial palace. That’s why I came to see Delta-sama.”
“customer? who?”
Rize came and went just a while ago. Who else was to come?
“You said your identity is a secret, but Delta-sama told you to think about what you sent to the imperial palace. Then you’ll be able to easily guess who’s coming.”
‘… … It’s Minerva.’
It was probably because of the scrolling. Have you already finished researching the crystal scroll?
“okay. Can we leave now?”
“Yes. Since I brought the wagon, I will take care of you.”
Then Lana, who was about to walk out the door, stopped for a moment and looked back.
“Anyway, while I saw you mixing with my master, this level of joke was light—”
“Are you going to do that until the end?”
