1182 Episode One Thousand Fifty-Three Battlemaster (1/2)
”What the hell is that! Wow, I copied the power of that Alim Nariway!
”You copied it, but isn't that all?
”Kee, I'm taking over the memory. It should be good to use. But...”
Illume was in a terrible hurry. Whether you're looking for Alim's memory or that of that brother, there's not a lot of information out there about Gilmers. What I know at best is that I have been reigning as the strongest for a long time, that I am the leader of the largest party in anasm, that I am a weapons collector and a collection of legendary weapons, until I have the skill of Battlemaster.
Mainly Illume wanted to know about this Battlemaster. Skills that are named masters like Alim's ”Item Master” or Last Man's ”Creature Master” are very powerful and hassle-free. It was also said that just owning it promises to be an SSS ranker. While many things are largely predictable by name, the name of Gilmers' skill is ”Battlemaster”. I couldn't tell at all what abilities this was all about.
”... hey. What kind of ability is Battlemaster?
”Hmm? Aren't you taking over Alim's memory?
”And I don't know that girl! What kind of skill is Battlemaster?”
”Ah! No, you only told Alim your name. I've never demonstrated it in front of you. Uh, I was wondering if we should deepen our interaction a little bit more.... so it's convenient for now, right?
”Gu...... hmm?
Convenient, Gilmers said, but not really trying to attack. He was laughing with a hella look while holding his sword.
Ilme thought. How to get out of this atmosphere that is feeling disadvantaged despite not being attacked. And I came up with it. I copied that owner himself, who would surely be stronger than scared of a skill that I don't know what kind of ability I have as it is, and wondered if I should use it.
”Hey, don't even think about it.
”Hih!?
Trying to take action, Ilme stopped his move in a word from Gilmers. A moment of fear, Illume did feel it.
”Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but you can try.”
”What...?
”Maybe that's it, you're trying to use your own abilities, not Alim's or your brother's. It must be a hit.”
”... yes, I am.”
”Look, try it”
”Ya, I'll do it!
Illume is no longer Illume. I melted my body and returned to what I was, what I was, what I was, what I was a demon. That's super huge dos black slime. With such a slime in front of me, Gilmers' eyebrow moves just a little bit with his spare look until now.
”Well, it's rare. I've defeated SSS rank-equivalent slime twice before... but I've never seen a guy like you before. What's your name?
