Chapter 30 - Dungeon, Evolution and Success (4)
“Ooh-ahhhhhhh!”
“You are doing well, Silpennon.You should roll a little bit to the left.There’s a lot of dusts over there.”
“You evil bastaaaaaaaard!”
Silpennon let out a weird groan as he rolled around on the ground.This was a phenomena that occurred when one leveled up all at once.
“His highness barely helped in killing that Slime, so why did he get a share of the EXP?”
Unlike Silpennon, Leseti hadn’t received a single iota of experience.She grinded her teeth as she asked the question. She was jealous of the crown prince, who was rolling around on the ground.He actually looked favorably on the female knight for her sentiment, so he gave a friendly reply.
“Your understanding of this matter is fundamentally wrong.That Slime started eating its brethren, because it feared Silpennon.At that point, Silpennon had pulled the aggro of that Slime, and he probably inflicted some damage too.This is the reason why it counted as Silpennon contributing to the battle.”
“It isn’t much of a contribution!”
Leseti was acting as if she was dissatisfied about Silpennon’s growth.Sipennon bellowed from the ground as he sacrificed his clothes by wiping the dust of the floor.
“Ggoo-ahhhhh!Your master is leveling up, so why are you complaining!”
“However, your highness, you are useless even if you level up a lot!”
“Did you just say I’m useless….Ooh-gyahhhhhhh!”
Artpe wondered how the relation between the master and servant would change in the future.However, it was no concern of his….Artpe let out a sigh as he gave a supplemental explanation.
“It is as you’ve said.The percentage of EXP given to Silpennon wasn’t high.At most, it was around three percent.But…..”
“Are you saying he was able to achieve such an explosive growth with only 3 percent….”
“You’ve hit the nail on the head.”
The only traces of the Huge Slime left behind was the wreckage.It had been a level 200 Dungeon monster, and it was the Dungeon’s boss.It had been a Elite Ultra Rank monster.
Normally, the monster’s record and EXP increased substantially based on Rank and its position.Even if Silpennon had barely contributed, it wasn’t strange to see him increase in level by over 20.
“Moreover, you don’t have to worry too much about his Skills either.We’ll get the [Cud] Bonus too.”
Cud was a humorous term that was coined for the skill where one’s Skill grew once more after the monster was killed.The skill grew under the influence of the monster’s Record, and the achievements in battle.However, Leseti’s expression still indicated that she was having a hard time accepting the situation.
“Still, he didn’t even strike that particular Slime with his sword…..”
“Well, it seems he was able to do so.”
Silpennon was finished with his continuous level up.He shakily got up from the ground.Artpe spoke lightly as he looked over Silpennon with his Read All Creation ability.Above his head, there were words that were more spectacular than what was seen on Maetel once before.

[Battle Step Lv6]
When facing the Slime, it would have been enough to just stab it once.He would have needed to tweak the Slime’s body.When the level 200 high rank Class monster was killed, the result of the battle was used on his skills.This was why Silpennon possessed ridiculously high level Skills compared to his actual level.
On top of that, he was so exceptionally talented that there was a bonus added to his skill growth.If one only considered the basic Skill level, Silpennon wasn’t that far off from Leseti!
Of course, Artpe wasn’t going to breakdown all the information, but it was enough information for Leseti to become shocked and anguished.
“If I knew this would happen, I would have hit it with my sword once!”
“If the monster doesn’t become truly threatened by your action, it will have no effect.Silpennon went through his growth, because he attacked the Slime before it evolved.”
“Why does the prince always have good luck!”
“Why are you dissatisfied with my luck being good, Leseeeeeeeti!”
Leseti kept complaining, and Silpennon gnashed his teeth.At that point, he decided to just drop the subject. However, it seemed Leseti still had questions she wanted to ask of Artpe.
“Does this mean you guys are too high in level to experience level ups from the Slime’s EXP?”
“No, we aren’t there yet….We are just used to this kind of incidents.”
“You became accustomed to it!?”
“Mmmm.Could you stand still for a moment.?”
“Kyahhh!?”
Artpe could see his reflection in her large innocent blue eyes, so he activated his Read All Creation ability to check his own info.

“You...you!Do you think I’ll fall for you if you do this!You brat!You braaaaat!”
“....why did I promote such a doofus to the role as my knight protector...”
She had suddenly become Artpe’s mirror.Leseti’s face turned red as she got angry.However, Artpe was deep within his thoughts, so her words didn’t really register with.He let go of the angry Leseti, and he wallowed deep in his woes.
‘This is way too fast.’
He had graduated from the beginner’s Dungeon at level 145.He had fought the knights dressed in black not too long ago, but they were lower in level by dozen levels or more.
However, he had increased by 18 levels in one fell swoop when the Huge Slime was killed.It goes without saying that the Skills used in killing the Slime had grown too.
Even if their opponent was special, this was too much.
As he was thinking this, he turned his thoughts towards the Mana Link and the Record Divide.
‘Did Maetel’s ability perhaps influence me….!?’
If so, that would be the worst!Artpe quickly turned to look at Maetel!
[Maetel]
[Level : 174]
“Good.I worried for nothing.”
She was still growing at a stable yet crazy speed!
“You didn’t worry for nothing.It is rude to stare at another woman like that!Hurry up and apologize to her!”
“What?”
For some reason, Maetel had raised her voice, and she berated Artpe!Both of her cheeks were puffed out, and she stamped towards him.She pulled Artpe towards her side, and she bowed towards Leseti.
“I’m sorry.From now on, I won’t let him get close to you, Ms Leseti.You can be at ease now.”
“Uh.Mmm. Ooh-mmmm…..No, you don’t really have to go that far….”
“Never!I’ll make sure he never gets close to you!I’ll do it even if Ms. Leseti might get hurt a little bit in the process!”
“Why me!?”
Was her Berserk skill still activated!
