31 Chapter 25: The Encounter with the Evil God Part 1 (1/2)

Ohhh… So this is what the interior looks like… Awesome.

Upon entering the wide entrance, we were greeted by a wide space, with each walls covered with Glow Stones from here and there. In this case, even without using my Glow skill, there won't be any problem with our vision.

It's actually bright… Even without my Night Vision, it's still bright… It's as if the ceiling is a portrayal of the dancing starry night, each star blinks, creating a perfect illumination that can be on par with the lights on a Christmas day.

It feels nostalgic, to be honest…

Ahh… It's like I'm seeing the night sky for the first time after arriving here in this world. I'm quite moved. I don't want to tarnish this great beauty so I will refrain from storing Glow Stones for now. I've stored more than enough outside, anyways.

<Walking Warehouse Title acquired>

O-Ohh… Sure.

Well, I've been storing too much already, I guess.

[By the way, Purin my friend.]

Purin: ”Purin is not thine friend, purin.”

[What's the estimated time until we got out of here?]

Purin: ”It depends, purin. Approximately one and a half month, if Purin's plan proceeds smoothly, purin.”

O-Ohh… One and a half month… That's quite a lot more than what I expected. I was expecting less like two or three weeks, at least. But to think that it would take us more than a month to reach the other side…

Just how wide is this mountain range?

And 'plan'?

Fleur: ”…”

Her faces is flushed again, huh?

I'm getting used to it, to be honest. This has already happened for quite a number of times. She heaves muffled sighs from time to time, and she'd press her hand against her chest tightly. I can even hear her gulp every now and then. I wasn't even actually listening, but it was loud enough for me to hear. I even thought that she's thirsty or something and offered her water to drink…

Fleur: [”I-I am not thirsty! I… I am fine… Really. Also, w-we should save water as much as possible… F-Fufufufu~”]

… only to be refused and was even told to conserve water.

By the way, we actually went to a fresh water pond to procure water during our travel. Perhaps because I couldn't see at the time, I missed it. It was located at the Main Forest where I was reincarnated.

Anyways, I know her actions are suspicious but I don't feel any ill will coming from her through the Link. If anything, I feel a weird emotion, which I can't somehow pinpoint what exactly it is. It feels familiar, but… I don't know what it is. Rather, it's more of a tingling sensation than an emotion, however.

Intriguing…

Or not. Now's not the time to be curious. I'm getting a bit worried.

If it's an after effect of the Resurrection skill, then we have to do something about it sooner or else, we won't know what could happen if we were too late.

Thinking that, I asked her about it, but she only denied my conjecture and told me that she's fine.

I ask, but she won't even give me a proper answer.

*sigh* Girls are so complicated. I can spend my whole life trying to understand them, but I feel like I won't ever reach the answer.

Fleur: ”*pant* I have to… *pant* endure… it.”

Hm. It's something she have to endure, huh?

First, I think it's not about picking flowers or something. Whenever she had to do her business, she would just tell Purin and then we'll go for a commercial break. So I think it's not for a natural business.

Then…

What is it that needs to be endured?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

While I was pondering about what to do about Fleur's unknown condition, Purin stopped in her tracks. And because of my Detect skill, I know why.

It's a monster. Its huge shadow appeared loftily from the dark.

Purin: ”To think we would encounter it the moment we step in… Tch. A failure on my part.”

And it's not just some monster, it's seems quite strong. Even without my Analyze, I can already feel it in the air. Even Fleur froze on her track upon the entrance of the monster. I think even Purin will have a hard time with this one. I guess we'll have to work together to fend it off.

On the side note though, I'm more interested in its status. That's why, I stopped Purin before she had almost launched her attack.

Purin: ”Thou move away. It is not an opponent that thou may win against.”

[Hm? What do we have here? Purin is worried about me?]

Purin: ”We do not have time for jest. Take Milady and escape. Purin will buy time.”

It's weird… I've never seen Purin act this way… Not to mention, she's releasing insane amounts of bloodlust. It's not directed at me, but I can feel its intensity and the air is even trembling. Taking a short glance at Fleur, even she's wearing a grim expression.

Dude… Another absurdly powerful monster? What the heck is wrong with my luck…?

*sigh*

Purin: ”Purin was planning to pass through here without encountering this thing, but… It seems like that is now impossible, given how it can perceive everything in this forest. Purin was naïve…”

Hoh… Even Purin is trying to avoid this guy.

Well then, without further ado, Analyze.

You've got to be kidding me.

… I see. The Goddess of luck has abandoned me. If not, then my Luck must really be -1 in status standards.

Or perhaps, I'm a strong monster magnet?

That's… just the worst.

Well, I understand how Purin is being this much cautious against such an opponent. This is the other monster that she said which she could not handle. That shadow thingy she mentioned before.

She never mentioned it was a remains of an Evil God, though. Damn.

But I wonder why there's not much skills in it? I can only guess, but… Maybe because it's only a remnant and it's no longer the original?

… Maybe that's really it.

Also, using its status, other monsters' status, Fleur and Purin's status, and of course, my status as a basis, I now got a full view of this world's status system's limits.

For the HG and CG, it's 10,000 points. Compared to mine, it's really high. But considering the damage a monster or a person can do, it's understandable.

For the rest of the status, its 1,000, with the exception of its Physical Attack. But that is because of one of its skills.

I know there's a chance that a good coincidence just made this numbers possible. But thinking about how this guy is the Evil God, which is, of course, a God that must be powerful beyond reason, I can make a conjecture that this is at its strongest.

Wait… That means… I'm already powerful enough?

I mean… Look.
