Chapter 115
To the Bright future!
Level 1861 → Level 1683 → Level 2740
After killing Prince Nasus, my level increased again. To knock down such an opponent whose level was above 999 without much noise, I needed a lot of experience points, but I received even more.
Race: Natural Human. This is pure fraud.
Whether it's a game or a fantasy world, there is such a thing as efficiency in absorbing experience points. For example...if I or my character were to kill a level 100 monster and take his experience, this doesn't mean that we would immediately have a level above 100. If we calculate the efficiency of the Fantasy measurement of experience points, then you need to catch a dozen level 100 monsters for the level to go from 99 to 100.
Depending on the situation, the efficiency may but was less than 2% on average. The Hero's 5x experience perk also doesn't give a special advantage. If the efficiency is less than 2% multiplied by 5, it will be less than 10%. We can say that this is a lot, but if you compared it with the characteristics of my race, Natural Human, then it was like a firefly near the Sun.
Because I absorb 99% of the experience!
► Trembling: Isn't that too fraudulent...?
Miss Trainee. Life is generally an unfair thing.
►Explanation: The efficiency of experience points is specially calculated in this way. If you get too many experience points simultaneously, then the body and soul won't stand it. Students are given the Hero specialization, which accelerates development just as much as the soul and body can take. But...
It doesn't work for me. I remembered what the Old Prince said: skills are an illusion in the fantasy world, and race and specialization are incredibly important. As he said...
I possessed such a strong race attribute that no skills could compare. The Race "Natural Human" destroyed the existing rules and the balance of the fantasy world. Because of this, there was a problem.
The useless Hero specialization had become cumbersome. I need to get rid of the "Hero" and get a more useful specialization.
► Embarrassment: You are most likely the only student, Kang Han Soo, who thinks the Hero specialization is useless. If the Hero Sieg, who had nothing in his head except pairing, didn't have a fivefold increase in the experience gained, then his level would go down after each battle.
Oh! I remember seeing this during the 3rd playthrough. Sieg, who was helped by the system of this fantasy world almost at every step, returned after hunting and adventures with a level lower than he had before. It was a growth method beyond alchemy.
By the way.
"..."
After Sylvia heard about her fate, she fell silent, thereby hinting at her decision. How stubborn. This elf, who almost died at the hands of her older brother, didn't want to thank the S-rank Hero.
And I'm not extorting money from her.
"Is that so? I'm sorry about that."
If she just thanked me, I would kill her quickly and painlessly. But now it's too late to regret it. I have activated the Black Box.
The magic of ten seconds!
Hero → Demon Lord (Hero→ Level↓)
Demon Lord became my specialty in no time, and sealed skills began to appear. On top of it, Level 2740. The efficiency of the skills increased immediately. The ordinary skill of Invention started, and the intangible skill Dark Energy enveloped Sylvia's body.
Also added was the "Oblivion" of the Black Box.
▷ Race: Arch-Elf
▷ Level: 1
▷ Specialization: Shaman (Blessing = Spirit↑)
▷Skills: Charm A, Nobility A, Spirit B, Archery B, Blessing C...
▷Condition: Tied, Humiliation, Fear, Resentment
Sylvia, who lost to me in the forest, had bad skills. Except for the spirits she used as slaves, she was like a walking corpse. So I decided to fix it.
"Wh-what?!"
Seeing how her body absorbed the Dark Energy, Sylvia began to dodge and resist. But all this was useless. Not only was she bound hand and foot, but she was also now in the dungeon of the black market.
This was one of the most secret places in the Dumpling Kingdom. No one would come to save her.
"Sylvia. Listen to me. An S-rank hero came to save you, but your older brother suddenly pounced on me for no reason and tried to kill me. Therefore, in the name of a just Hero, I knocked him down! Well? I'm wrong?"
"...No."
Sylvia responded with a dull look but a clear mind.
"Sylvia. I'm your benefactor. Right?"
"Right. I don't like that I got help from a human, but I can't help but admit that you are good."
She answered stiffly. It seemed that even if I erased her memory, nothing could change her character. But that too would now come to an end.
Because...
Shooooo-!
Dark Energy was entering her body. It was dangerous to set free a lioness who hated people. So I put a collar around her neck. The future elf queen tried to resist with bulging eyes. She wriggled like a worm that had just been stepped on.
But she soon calmed down.
The Status changes were impressive.
▷ Race: Arch-Elf
▷ Level: 1
▷ Specialization: Demonic Shaman (Dark Energy = Evil Spirit↑)
▷ Skills: Evil Spirit SS, Dark Energy S, Nobility A, Captivity A, Archery B ...
▷ Condition: Tied, Fall, Devotion
The foolish spirits who remained by Sylvia's side out of loyalty fell under the influence of Dark Energy and became Evil Spirits.
"Evil Spirit is SS-rank?
I didn't expect this result. It seemed that the Demon Shaman spec was perfect for Sylvia's personality.
"Sylvia, who are you?"
"I am a devoted slave of the great Hero who saved me from death. From now on, this body and fiery soul belong to you. I will live for you until my life comes to an end."
Due to the transcendental skill "Dark Energy," Sylvia became obedient. It could be said that she was almost a completely new person.
"Excellent."
I untied the ropes that bound Sylvia's body. But level 1 was too weak. There won't be any help from her. So I decided to try another experiment.
Kang Han Soo: Level 2740 → Level 2739
Sylvia: Level 1 → Level 316
I gave my experience points to Sylvia. For me, this was just one level, but for her, the level immediately increased exponentially. It helped even dust as Sylvia grow.
But this didn't reflect well on her.
"Kha?!"
Screaming in pain, Sylvia fell to the ground face-first. Blood gushed from her mouth, nose, and eyes. Her body began to tremble as if she were having a seizure.
►Explanation: Kang Han Soo. I told you before. If the level is raised so dramatically, the soul and body will not survive. It takes time for the vessel to become larger. If you hurry, the vessel will crack, as is the case with this elf.
Miss Trainee, how do I fix it?
►Answer: With the help of Healing, heal the wounded soul and body, and pay for it with extra experience points. Then the pressure will go to the one who enacts the Healing. But the Saint has a high level so that everything will be fine.
I immediately got down to business.
"Hiplia."
"Yes."
As soon as I called her, Hiplia appeared, and both her hands were engulfed in a white glow. She immediately approached the dying Sylvia.
Level 316 → Level 284
Sylvia's level began to plummet. We were back to when we first met in the woods. Is the dilated vessel preserved? But if there is an overabundance of "free experience points," there would be an overload.
"Thief E. What about the Chaos Artifact?"
"I took it. But..."
"Shut up."
I shut up Thief E before she started asking a lot of questions and then canceled the summon of Hiplia. It was a little uncomfortable because she had just done her job and returned, but nothing could be done about it, because unexpected guests were approaching us.
Thief E and I quickly left. We were never here.
"Ah! Sir Nasus?!"
"Prince?!"
"Oh, how is that...?"
As Prince Nasus ordered, the elves slowly narrowed their encirclement, but they arrived too late. They were dumbfounded when they saw the prince's body cut in half. Some of the women even started crying. Sylvia, as if nothing had happened, spoke to them.
"Elder brother Nasus died protecting me. I dedicate this body to create Elfheim, where humans and elves can coexist. And I will support the greatest Hero. If someone decides to prevent me, I will eliminate him, even if it is my beloved father. Will you help me?"
"I...swear loyalty to you."
"I swear allegiance to Princess Sylvia."
"Of course. Princess Sylvia."
The power of Prince Nasus passed to Sylvia. Due to the prince's sudden love, the plan changed slightly, but thanks to the actions of the just Hero, Sylvia was rehabilitated. May the future of the Kingdom of Elfheim be bright!
►Admiration: Just wonderful! I'm impressed.
Hehe! Do you think so too, Miss Trainee?
I am a Hero with 25 years of experience, so I perfectly understand the intentions of the examiners. The god of the fantasy world wanted to take away Prince Nasus and make Sylvia the next queen of the elves. Plus, the elves aren't the only ones who want to live in a happy fantasy world.
If you cross humans and elves, you get the best race in a beautiful fantasy world. This was a good result for a Hero who was summoned just three days ago.
Princess Sylvia recovered from her hatred of people. The inept single father of an elf king, abandoned by the queen for the Demon Lord, was left with only Sylvia. Prince Nasus vs. Princess Sylvia...
The race, divided in half, is now united. Thus, it was decided that Sylvia would become the next queen of the elves. The S-rank hero did just fine!
►Sigh: How different are you from Sieg. If Sieg had the skills you do, he would create a harem of elves and spend the whole day mating.
Miss Trainee. Forget about this inept Sieg already.
►Determination: Thank you for your words, Cadet Kang Han Soo, but I can't. Although I am a trainee, I have been teaching Sieg for five years. If the teacher refuses the student, then they also refuse the title of the teacher!
...Good luck in this difficult endeavor. Don't give up!
The Righteous Hero successfully solved all the cases at the black market auction of the Dumpling Kingdom. Prince Nasus was right. If something happened, no one would know.
Gauping, gauping.
...The spirits were watching everything, but they're on my side. If you betray me, then know that there is not a soul around. Do you understand me?
Nod.
That's why I like Spirits! But could you not touch me from below with your little hands?
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Mind. Now the firm, hot, cool, wet, and sometimes indescribable feeling could be felt. My head was spinning from all these sensations.
Spirits are naive? If we were on Earth, they would all be jailed for sexual harassment.
"Hero-savage, this is the Chaos Artifact."
Thief E proudly handed me an old antique.
"Mmm...even looking at it, I don't understand anything."
It was a delicate handmade brooch. I wasn't interested in art, so in my eyes, it is just a piece of jewelry to benefit from. I didn't even feel the power of Chaos.
"Because it is still sealed."
"Sealed?"
"Only someone from the Elfheim bloodline can remove the seal. Like this."
The thief ran a dagger over her finger. A drop of blood appeared on the tip of her snow-white finger.
She ran it over the brooch.
Crack-!
At first glance, nothing changed, but I felt that the seal that Thief E was talking about had been removed. And a video started to scroll in my head.
Which I didn't expect to see...
