“I understand the situation.”
Having somehow managed to diffuse the previous situation with a brilliant speech, I briefly explained to Woo our current situation and our future plans.
For some reason, Wu still didn’t like Sarah, but his expression softened as if he sympathized with her situation.
Serado Wu was blunt at first and came out strong without even realizing it, but after she cooled down, she seemed quite genuine.
“… So, is it okay to think that the Prime Minister’s faction will also become enemies in the future?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Although Terezina is a key figure in the prime minister’s faction, she is not a member of the prime minister’s faction.
Prime Minister Lang, like Teresa, is a very reasonable person.
Even if we kill Terezina, there is still room for cooperation if we can provide a replacement merit.
She is a fox beast, so if you don’t like her, you can just defeat her and make her a familiar.
“And this is just my prediction, but I don’t think it will lead to a fatal situation.”
“… Why?”
When Sarah asked with a bit of disappointment, I turned my head and asked Wu.
“Woo, what will you do if an enemy appears that you can’t defeat in any way?”
“Fight.”
“Is there no option to surrender?”
“None. It is good to lose after a valiant fight. But you can’t give yourself victory before you even fight. A warrior must live like that.”
“This is why there is no need to kill Terezina. If the tide turns this way, she will immediately surrender to us.”
If Wu is a warrior, she is a politician.
Of course, they do not have the pride or pride of warriors or wizards, and rather than show off their pride, they think of the benefits they will gain by bowing their heads.
Even if a battle breaks out, if she feels her life is in danger, she will immediately kneel and surrender.
Of course, this only applies to those who will accept surrender.
“Our goal is to make her give up on Sarah. There’s no need to kill it. Because it’s better to use them as allies rather than kill them.”
If Terezina is to be killed, it should be as a means to protect Sarah, and killing her should not be the goal.
Wu readily accepted, probably because he was thinking about the next fight with the warrior faction, but Sera seemed to have some small dissatisfaction.
“Sera may be dissatisfied, but I hope you can bear with it this time.”
“… I have no intention of using such force in a situation where I am unilaterally indebted to you. I’m just a little worried. That bitch is the best in the kingdom when it comes to cunning.”
“Don’t worry. I know how cunning she is. Since I interfered once, I will take responsibility until the end. I am a man who has lived with only one responsibility.”
When I patted my chest and said that, Sarah smiled slightly, as if she felt a little relieved.
Yes.
I am a man who has lived with only the responsibility of a gamer to fill out the entire encyclopedia.
I was confident that there was no man on this continent who could surpass me in terms of responsibility.
“Felt is a man with a strong sense of responsibility.”
Woo seemed to agree with this, nodding his head with an indifferent expression and continuing.
It was the same when I unsealed “Yeo. Did he say that he would even help burn the entire kingdom to relieve Yeo’s resentment?”
“… … .”
… Did I say that?
I think I said something similar… .
I was in no mood to say something like that, so I kept my mouth shut.
An uncomfortable time passed by, and during this time, Woo and Sarah did not exchange a single word until the end.
*****
After returning from the model garden, we finished interviewing the noble students who would be taking the exam together.
chris. Alma. Poser.
The three students who were worried about their grades readily accepted our offer, probably because they had already heard from their families, and ended up forming a team.
Usually, when a team is formed, they practice to work together, but for our team, there was no need for such cumbersome work.
The content of the midterm exam is to find and retrieve flags planted throughout the forest.
It would be safe to say that for me, who can handle a flying demonic beast, there is no test simpler than this.
Thanks to this, we were able to focus on raising Sera’s level without having to spend unnecessary time.
“Let me tell you in advance, Sarah has to do the fighting herself.”
Unlike normal RPG games, Hell does not allow experience points, which are commonly referred to as tricks.
The distribution of experience points in the abyss is determined based on the contribution to defeating the monster.
For example, even if Sera delivers the final blow to the Minotaur whose arms and legs I cut off, Sera will not receive any experience points.
Since the Minotaur was already incapable of fighting, it is judged that even if it was Sarah who took her last breath, she would not have contributed at all.
Therefore, if a high-level person wanted to help a low-level person level up, he or she had no choice but to focus on assisting, but this was not usually difficult.
The buff should not be too strong, and the recovery magic should not be strong enough to heal all wounds.
If both are too strong, the system arbitrarily determines that this is not because Serah is strong, but because she has excellent buffs.
The same was true for binding magic. It may be just a matter of stopping movement at first, but if it played a decisive role in the battle, I decided I was hunting it.
Therefore, both buffs and recovery magic should be limited to those that can only be used by a level 15 priest.
I told Sarah that fact in advance.
“I will help you in times of danger, but basically, think of me as fighting alone. And don’t worry, my recovery magic only harms the undead.”
“… So even demons can receive recovery magic?”
The recovery magic of gods who worship the goddess is applied to devils as attack magic.
This seemed like common sense, so when she heard that recovery magic works on demons, Sarah’s eyes widened as if she was quite surprised.
“Yes. In the first place, the recovery magic of the Goddess Church is unique. Except for special cases such as the undead, recovery magic is not poisonous to demons.”
The reason why the goddess’s recovery magic is harmful to the devil is because the goddess set it that way because the devil was a being that harmed humanity.
To the World Tree, which protects nature, not humanity, the devil is not a particular threat.
Therefore, unlike the recovery magic of the Goddess Church, the recovery magic of the Druids was also normally applied to demons.
“What a unique god… . If you don’t like humans that much, how did you become a believer?”
“When I said I liked body odor, they said I looked like an animal and especially accepted me as a believer.”
“… Is that some kind of joke?”
“No.”
I wish I was joking, but I was actually allowed to become a believer for such a ridiculous reason.
How does liking body odor make you animal-like?
Isn’t it a very luxurious culture, like tasting wine or perfume, in that it purely enjoys scents?
“Don’t you think so?”
“… Stay about 3m away during battle.”
“Haha, just kidding.”
While chatting like a comic, we arrived at our destination, the Skeleton Soldier’s Tower.
*****
Basically, as you go down to the depths of the dungeon or go up to the top, the level of the monsters that appear begins to increase.
Of course, there are dungeons that do not fall under this rule, but Skeleton Soldier Tower was not one of those exceptions.
The Skeleton Soldier’s Tower is a dungeon with a total of 4 floors.
The average level of monsters that appear on the first floor is 15, and the average level increases by 5 as you go to the upper floor.
“As the name suggests, the monsters that mainly appear in this dungeon are undead. Do I need an explanation?”
“… No, among the demons working there is a demon that belongs to the undead.”
“Do I really need to summon that demon?”
Sarah immediately shook her head in response to Felt’s question.
Sera’s familiar, called Poison Cat, is an undead that explodes and poisons enemies when it approaches them.
Since the undead were basically impervious to poison, there was no need to use the Poison Cat in this dungeon.
“That’s a good thing. I can use wide-range recovery magic with peace of mind.”
In a dungeon of this level, monsters will not be able to withstand even a wide-range recovery spell, which has weaker recovery than a single recovery magic, and will disappear.
This was one of the reasons why Felt chose this dungeon as a place to level up.
If this dungeon had extensive recovery magic, it would be able to help Sarah level up more safely.
After briefly explaining the monsters that appear in the dungeon, the two entered the dungeon.
In places where many undead reside, a foul odor similar to that of decaying corpses wafts out.
The two people reflexively frowned and stepped inside.
Time passed and it was about three days since I entered the dungeon.
Felt was surprised to learn that no wide-range recovery magic had been used even once during these three days, and internally revised Sarah’s evaluation several steps.
As expected, as the daughter of Terezina, whose blood cannot be deceived, she had talent as a demon minister.
In any situation, you can continue to connect calmly without panicking.
At times, he could be said to be an ideal summoning wizard as he directly used black magic to protect his allies.
‘Sera’s level is still 17, but she can go straight to the second floor.’
No matter how many buffs she received, Felt thought she would be a great force as she was able to subdue a group of undead in just a few rounds with excellent coordination.
I immediately moved to the second floor, and two more days passed.
Sera reached level 22, exceeding her original goal of level 20.
