Chapter 312 – Chapter 312 ― Second Day (1)
Episode 312 ― Second Day (1)
At dawn in the imperial castle, the forest smelled.
It rained yesterday on the rich soil that covered the castle. Now, in the huge garden that grows well no matter what you plant, all kinds of plants show off their own scents in the belated spring rain.
The smell of life that is hard to believe is in the middle of the land of demons.
The life force from the bountiful garden became a source of greater power for Roan to accumulate.
The morning sun was bright and cool.
As the holy power operated by the body increased, he could better feel the energy of life around him. Similar to holy power, lively signs.
Roan was looking back at the conversation from the past while standing in the corner of the training ground, feeling the energy gently spreading in the garden and the power revolving inside her body.
“There is absolutely no life form that can match the capabilities of your body.”
These were the words Fiora said at the beginning of the training.
Strength, skill, and health stats were already at their peak.
In addition, the 2nd round bonus of ‘breaking the limit’ is applied, and in fact, Roan’s body is the best on the continent like Fiora’s horse.
Unless they are dragons or other races, they will not be able to compete with Roan.
Just in case you have a problem.
“The only problem is that the opponent is not a living being.”
Fiora smiled troubledly.
“It will be difficult for him to manifest as he is. There are limits.”
“Limit?”
“Um, it’s a problem in the realm of gods, but… To put it mildly.”
Fiora stroked her chin lightly with her finger. A faint smile lingered on Fiora’s face, as if the explanation was an oversimplification.
“Don’t grown men step in and punch her when the kids are arguing?”
“Ah.”
As Fiora said, it was a bit crude, but it was an intuitive metaphor. As well as Roan, Anmut and Helen, who had been listening to Fiora’s story together, opened their mouths slightly.
“Are you saying that it is unnatural for an adult to step into a child’s world and compete for strength?”
“Certainly so. When an adult intervenes, the situation suddenly turns upside down. Even if children quarrel with each other, it would be strange unless an adult intervened to stop it.”
Fiora agreed.
“That’s right. No matter how dangerous a fight between children is, an adult cannot wield her sword with all her might at a child, right? To put it simply, there is such a rule.”
It meant that in order for a god or a demon to exercise power in the world of insignificant humans, a corresponding basis was required.
“Even if you pray to God for extinction of humans, it’s not easy to come true.”
“That’s right.”
“Then how was the devil able to give him enough power to change the world?”
Anmut asked Fiora with her innocent eyes. A smile appeared in Fiora’s eyes. After a long time, the teacher seemed to enjoy playing.
“‘Greed’ wouldn’t have said yes. She must have talked about it in a lump, saying that she would give it that much power.”
Anmut slightly frowned.
Even so, it was because he could see why the wizard had the power of the devil.
It’s like drinking sea water when you’re thirsty.
Even if it is a small power to a godhead, it becomes a great thing to a human being. Once you taste the rise, you can never let go again.
“You can gain strength. But in reality, I would have had to give more than that. To give a ‘justice’ that goes beyond the laws of the world.”
“Because only when there is a cause can an adult lend strength to a child’s fight?”
“That’s right.”
Fiora nodded her head lightly.
“The scales of the world are supposed to pursue ‘naturalness’. Isn’t it normal for one kind of life to disappear from the earth at once? A wish like that won’t grant any godhood.”
Listening to Fiora’s answer, Roan thought about Fiora’s skills again.
The situation that Fiora made use of through her skill ‘causal reversal’ right before she was trapped by the sword,
In light of what she just said, it’s not ‘normal’.
She said that all of her clan disappeared to fulfill her purpose.
She doesn’t know exactly what kind of process it was, but Fiora’s skills are so amazing that she can certainly break the laws of this world.
It reminded me of the fact that Fiora was a spiritual creature, something close to a god.
“Hmm? What? Those gentle eyes.”
Fiora smiled, and Helen bit her lip slightly pouting.
“Anyway, for that reason, God cannot appear in this world with his original form and power. In order for this guy to come into the world, he must borrow something or someone’s body. There is a weakness there.”
The conclusion of the conversation that day was as follows.
In order for ‘greed’ to exert its power on the ground, someone has no choice but to use the body of a creature on this land.
So, I can think of two ways.
First.
Or destroy the body itself.
Second.
Weaken the power that makes his existence dwell in his body.
The first method is the method that Roan and Helen tried on the archduke last time. Blur the grand duke’s vision, or physically block them by facing swords directly.
After all, life has limits. When the body reaches its limit, the fight must end.
Of course, the power of the superior guy that dwells in his body will do his best to stop it.
To pierce through it, and to somehow use up the life of the body’s owner. That’s the first way It’s simple, but several people can try it. Because life is boring
The second method is to draw out and use the power of the Goddess, who is the opposite sex of the guy.
According to Helen, she said that any magical powers would be dispersed to the Holy Knights who wielded them with divine power.
The problem is that the magic of ‘greed’, which is the source of it, is so abundant that it is different from the level used by ordinary wizards.
‘My body needs to be able to accept more holy power.’
How much divine power did I use to destroy the artifact?
In the first playthrough, right before I died, the power I used to destroy the artifact was incomparably greater than the divine power Helen had in her body.
Now that it’s the 2nd playthrough, the divine power that I’ve been able to put in my body has finally reached Helen’s level.
In other words, besides Helen and I, we needed several people with that level of holy power.
Or did Helen and I grow up to be able to wield that much holy power?
‘Where did that divine power come from?’
The direction was toward the Dark Forest.
‘Maybe it was the power contained in the dark forest.’
If it was the power of the goddess that remained in the dark forest, what would become of the dark forest then?
“Your majesty.”
It’s not the time to be greedy.
Roan calmed his urgency.
There was no point in persuading Emily to obtain her power now.
Because if you get that power, you can’t handle life and it will disappear.
Just like when you tried to get rid of the artifact.
Taking power is not first,
The body should be able to contain more power.
“Your majesty.”
After hearing Anmut’s voice twice, Roan opened his eyes.
“Hmm.”
Roan opened his eyes.
A large figure cast a long shadow.
“I have doubts about what you informed me yesterday.”
Anmut’s blue eyes glowed with desire in the darkness.
Anmut was an excellent student.
To say great is not enough.
It was a frightening talent.
At the start of the game, the protagonist is level 1.
The highest level is 594.
The sum of when each stat was taken as 99.
Meeting the Demon King is when a little over a year has passed in the game.
And blocking the summoning of the devil is another year after that.
In less than three years, the main character can take the highest level.
Of course, in order to do that, there is the hassle of absorbing skills like crazy, finding buff items, and hanging on to leveling up.
This is a yagem. Who would do that?
… Don’t think
Are there weirdos everywhere?
“If you stab the sword in the way you taught me yesterday from the posture you taught me last week, there will be a gap.”
As soon as Anmut had finished speaking, he drew his sword.
It’s been a month since I started teaching him.
Repetition and troubles were reflected in the posture.
The action is clearer.
It got stronger and faster.
It’s a pity that I can’t see the stats.
Maybe even worse, it would have gone up 20% or 30% from when I first started.
“Please look.”
The moment Anmut’s foot stepped on it and put weight on it, the blade of the sword emitted a cool sound as it reflected the morning sunlight.
It was Fiora’s black blade that stopped the powerful metal from moving through the morning air.
It was a light movement, but as the sword blades collided with each other with energy, there was a sound like a large piece of glass being shattered.
It didn’t sound like metal hitting each other.
“Try adjusting the timing to change the center of gravity.”
Roan’s gaze was directed to the marks on the floor made by the movement of Anmut’s feet.
Anmut also stared down at the floor.
“A bit fast. If you are in a hurry, his sword will not reach you quickly.”
Without a sound, Fiora was pulled out.
A light glimmer of darkness lingered on the blade. Roan’s sword.
Roan’s body, which was in the same posture as Anmut, moved lightly. His torso, which had been facing his side, presses the floor one step forward to face forward.
At the same time, the black energy moved rapidly.
A speed enough to leave an afterimage. His shoulders and back, which had fallen behind him, gained strength and thrust his sword forward. It was as fast as an arrow.
Anmut’s eyes narrowed at the shimmering black energy. That’s why I couldn’t see all the skills Roan showed me.
It was so fast that it was hard to believe that it was the same body movement that Anmut had just done.
Anmut looked at the footprints left by Roan and was lost in thought.
[It’s great. Is it better than before?]
Praise from Fiora.
In fact, Roan is still growing.
“If you slow down the rate of change of center, you have time to use the body’s rebound. If you pay attention to that, I think you’ll be fine.”
“All right.”
Anmut lightly bowed his head.
“After breakfast, we’ll be leaving for Sprouse, so make sure it’s not too late.”
“Yes.”
Anmut was able to acquire two more of his skills under Roan’s advice.
It was after I met the NPC characters that I encountered in Sprouse, and in games, I could only meet them through events.
He said that you shouldn’t increase any skills in the future. Because there is a limited number of skills.
You can’t get rid of the skill you previously obtained.
After hearing Roan’s advice about the skill for the first time, Anmut felt like he was struck by lightning in his head.
Everyone thinks it’s a ‘special power’, but
An ability that does not know what it is.
It was the first time anyone knew so much about the skill. Beyond just that, beings who recognize Anmut’s special ability and even know how to develop it.
Anmut, who had ‘truth determination’, knew that the words of the demon emperor were not lies.
That his specialness came from Goddess Laurecia.
‘To think that demons could really become agents of the goddess.’
It was a shocking experience for Anmut, who had heard that the demons were a race abandoned by the goddess and had been denigrated all his life.
And the emotion that followed was something Anmut had never imagined.
There are objects in the world that you can depend on.
The feeling that you are not alone
It was a feeling of relief when you realized someone was walking in front of you.
It was a secret that only Urtellia knew vaguely. The ability to pick a skill, and replicate it from others.
She is like her family
In the end, I couldn’t lead him.
Because they are equal, like siblings.
As he began receiving guidance from Roan, Anmut was surprised to find that he was emotionally dependent on the Emperor.
I was very unfamiliar and anxious
It was unexpectedly enjoyable.
After learning how to grow properly and not being insecure, Anmut began to learn new things faster than before.
Anmut expressed his gratitude with his eyes.
Roan accepted it.
Does Schlaner guess that the Demon King and the Hero are sharpening their swords together?
