33 Episode 33 "I thought about a new combo because my skills increased during the trip.".txt (1/2)

The Demon Sword Leggy's blade dug into the body of the 'Master Goblin'.

''Ggaaaaaaah!''

The goblin falls to the street, bleeding, and stops moving.

Huh.

Surprisingly, it was a pain in the ass.

''Thank you for your efforts. ''Master.''

Rita's coming to me.

Not a single sweat. That's a fighting cheat character.

This is a road near the next town.

Rita and I have just fought off an attacking goblin.

We defeated 2 goblins myself and 4 goblins for Rita. It took the two of us to defeat the ”master goblin”, a rare monster.

For some reason, Cecil and the others are heading to the next town first.

This goblin probably has some skills.

”Skilled?

'Yes. You must have taken it from someone else or learned it yourself. You'll know it when you see it.

A dead goblin holding a sword.

From its chest, a particle of light is born.

It hardens in my hand and turns into a transparent sphere.

It's a skill crystal.

”...... 'Sword Art Lv 2'?

'You should wash it in clean water. That way it will be purified and will be Nagi's.

This is the first time a demon has dropped a skill.

I see. So this is one way to get a skill.

Rita. What is the probability of skills dropping... I mean what is the probability of a demon dropping skills?

'It's pretty low. We don't have many skills, and most of the skills disappear when you die...'

I can't see how I can make a living doing this.

You'll be fine. I'll do my best.

What do you mean, ”hang in there”?

I will be strong enough so that Nagi won't have to work. I will soothe her.

Rita gulped and clenched her fists.

He's laying around at home and I'm going to bring him back his prize. He's going to come home with birds and beasts and he's going to pat me on the head,” I said. I say, 'I'm sorry, master. I'm sorry master, this is all I could find. Please spank me. ......'

That's because I'm the master of black!

You want to serve, but don't dream of a strange future.

'My goal is to create skills that allow us to live without working, and we can all live lounging around,' he said. I'm not going to be a black employer.

The immediate goal is to create a base for skill research in the port city of Irgafa.

That's why Letitia gave me the mansion.

We're going to create a 'skill that can live without working' there.

Let's hurry up for now. We need to get to the next town before it gets dark.

Yes, sir. Master.

We started to walk towards the next town, Rihjelda.

We found a small clear stream on the side of the road, so I dipped the Sword Art Lv 2 into it.

I heard that this cleansed me up.

So, my current skills are as follows.

Unique Skill: ”Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 3”.

Regular skills: ”Gifted Swordsmanship Lv 1,” ”Building Strike Lv 1,” ”High-Speed Analysis Lv 1,” ”Otherworldly Conversation Lv 5,” ”Transcendental Sense Lv 1,” ”Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Lv 1.

Owned skills (skills I have but haven't installed) ”Building Hardball Lv 1” and ”Dove Cleaning Lv 1”.

And the ”Sword Art Lv 2” that I just obtained.

It's like this.

Me and Rita are walking down the street side by side.

Maybe it's the evening, but the street is completely empty.

The hardened street has a clear view of the road. But Cecil and his friends are gone.

I've asked Cecil, Aine and Leticia to go ahead of me. They should be arriving at the next town by now.

I hope they get a place to stay and rest properly. ......

Since yesterday or so, Cecil hasn't been feeling well.

So when the goblins attacked, we split up.

In order to let the three of us go first, Rita and I decided to take care of the goblins.

''......, Cecil, too. If you're not feeling well, you should have told me properly.

No, of course not. I'm becoming a full-fledged adult because of my encounter with Nagi.

I got that part out of Cecil, who was insanely embarrassed. With the master's authority.

The demon race is a 'sympathetic partner'──after meeting their fate, they truly become adult in the true sense of the word.

Specifically, their magic power becomes stronger and they can have children without putting an undue burden on their bodies. To put it plainly, Cecil is in his last growth period right now. That's why he has a fever.

They say it's not going to change on the outside.

'Cecil didn't want Nagi to worry. You must understand, Master.

But if you had told me, I could have given you the day off. I don't want you to work without regard to your condition, because that sounds like a black employer.

I know Cecil is a serious person.

It is the master's duty to make sure his slaves are in good health.

So you'll be off to the next town for a while.

The next town is a spa town, so we were going to stay a few days either way.

The sunset is starting to set. However, we will manage to reach the next town by night.

There is a stone monument on the side of the road for guidance.

The stones are arranged underneath it in the shape of letters. The initials of Cecil, Aine, and Leticia, signaling that all three of us have safely passed through this place.

That's good. If that's the case, we should all be at the next town by now.

There's a letter on the monument. If you go east, you'll find yourself in the town of Rihjelda.

When you enter the north side of the alley, it seems to be a ”cemetery”.

Is a cemetery even allowed to be outside of town?　Doesn't a corpse turn unted?

''Those who have been properly reburied and buried will be fine. The rest of the people won't turn undead so easily either. I've surrounded the cemetery with a 'repose of the soul and protection against demons' amulet.

'I see. Do you have a plan in place?

Yeah. I'd hate for this amulet to get destroyed.

Rita pointed to the statue of a winged woman standing at the entrance to the side road.

It was broken in half around her waist.

...... is broken.

It's broken.

I think this is a problem.

It's okay. Corpses don't turn undead that easily. Unless they're necromancers.

When Rita said that, I heard a scream from the road leading to the cemetery.

The sound of heavy footsteps running towards us - also!

''Nagy!'' I know.

We jumped back in a hurry.

A huge armor came running out of the side road.

It's just under two meters tall. He has a sword in one hand and a small girl in the other.

What the hell is this guy?

There's no one inside. Armor that moves - is it a living mail?

Translucent figures are floating around the armor. A lot of them.

Everyone's expression is vacant.

While drifting in a fluffy manner, they reach out their hands to me.

The wrecking ball, wrecking ball, wrecking ball. Urooohhhhhhhh.

I want to go back to sleepy nights.

Give us a gentle sleep.

Everyone looks like they're about to cry and continues to scream like office workers who have been working late after late.

It's a ghost!　Don't touch it. It will take your energy away!

Rita braced herself.

'The ruffians!' Let Lord Iris go!

Men with long swords come running from the side streets. But they're moving slow.

They have ghosts on their backs and even a skeletal swordsman (skeleton) clinging to them.

The warriors fall down before they can get to us.

”Awakened ghost! ”Fleshless skeleton! ”You are temporarily employed until my people are brought to the Lord. Work. Until the life of the deceased burns itself out...

The head in black armor turned toward us.

”Woe is me. I have orders from the Lord to extinguish the witnesses.

”Why is he openly abducting girls here?” ......

The girl in captivity is limp and twitching.

The black armor is watching us.

It's controlling ghosts and skeletons, attacking people who look like warriors.

It is trying to kill us as we pass by.

It is indeed a fantasy world. It's not safe.

And because of that we are in the middle of this.

I'll get us out of here in a hurry and you'll have to deal with the ...... and what if something happens to our guys while I'm dealing with you?　And you're a little too proud to kidnap a girl, aren't you?　At least shut up and we wouldn't have to listen to the witnesses turn off or some other cheap line: .......

Enough is enough. It's annoying, so just leave the kid and go away.

You're getting confused!　”You're going to die here.

Shut up, shut up. Even free game villains nowadays can spit out a few more twisted lines.

I'm letting you ghost.

He's got you doing black work for a dead guy.

It was self-defense. I'm taking him down. I hope Rita isn't going to take issue with that.

I've got a cute girl. Not as cute as Cecil, but they're tiny. I like her a lot.

You should be careful about what you say out loud, because people will call the cops.

May I help you, master?

Okay. Go ahead, Rita.

And besides...

Aaaaaaahhhhhh. Oh no!

I don't want this to work.

Erase us, erase us, erase us!

”I'd like to remind anyone who lets the dead (ghosts) work in the black that they're not alone.

'Hahahahahahahahaha!　A mere swordsman and his beastly looks are barking at you!

At the signal of the black armor, the ghosts start to move.
