Chapter 18 - Cuckold Brothers

[Level of normal skill [Numbing Darkness Claw] was increased from 1 to 2]

Not only have I gone up in level, but the skill I've used has leveled up too. The skill has gone up in level by using it... Is this how all skills go up?

It may be one of the reasons, but I don't think it works with all the skills.

For example, the skill [Flight].

As much as I tried to fly on my own, this skill didn't level up. Which means I can't fly yet.

But the [Numbing Darkness Claw] skill has been leveled by just using it once. I'm not lying when I say I didn't know what the skill did, I just had a vague idea because of its name.

I could have asked [God's voice] for help, but I think it's a waste of time. Besides, I don't feel like ending up cursing a certain goddess...

In conclusion.

I believe that [Normal skills] are the ones that can be raised with the continuous use of these.

Am I right, God's voice?

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv3] is unable to answer.]

I don't know why, but I was expecting this answer. This is why I don't ask you anything.

Seriously, what a useless skill.

Going back to the conclusion.

If [Normal skills] are the ones that level up when you use them, [Characteristic skills] are the ones that level up when I evolve and [Title Skill] level up when I meet special requirements.

At least, that's what I think.

Before we continue, I'm going to check my status.

I've raised my stats quite a bit. If I'm not mistaken, they've gone up about three points per category, more or less.

Not bad for only killing two low-class devils. I still have this bad feeling, though. Who would leave only two such low-level guards guarding the door of a lab where they're investigating something so important?

Something smells bad.

I have to hurry.

...…

Once I entered the mansion, I found what appeared to be a typical, ordinary house.

But since I knew this was not the case, I did what any sane person would have done.

I mean, situations like this are very cliché.

A seemingly ordinary house, but one where a big secret is hidden...

We have to find the secret entrance to the lab!

I have to admit it cost me a lot more than I expected. I went through the living room, bedrooms, library... Any place you can imagine, but I found nothing at all.

Then I thought: How can you take a lab inside a mansion? Since it's not on any of the floors, it'll be under the mansion.

So I used [Dragon Punch], and I tore up the floor of each of the rooms until I got to where I am right now.

"A dragon!"

Can't people be a little more creative?

I mean, this guy just yelled the same thing as the two bums in the driveway.

As far as I can see, there are 12 devils in this kind of hallway.

"Calm down, it's just a baby dragon. We should be able to take care of him."

"Yes, nothing good will come of getting upset."

So there are two devils here who think with their heads. They're identical, I'm sure they're twins.

I wonder what their power levels are.

Not only are they twins in appearance, but their statistics are also identical. What is their mother? Is she a photocopier?

They're stronger than the two low-class devils in the driveway, but they're still weaker than me.

Well, I don't want to waste too much time on them, and I don't want to waste mp. So I'm going to use brute force.

Running at my top speed, I easily catch up with the first of the low-class devils. I grab his neck, and with a [Crack], I snap his neck.

[Aquired 55 experience points]

[Because of title skill [Walking Egg: Lv-] another 55 experience was acquired.]

[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 15 to 17]

I'm getting less and less level by killing these low-class devils.

I don't stop and keep killing the low-class devils. The sooner I kill them, the better.

[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 17 to 22]

After killing ten low-class devils, I've gone up seven levels. I didn't expect much more, and I'm pretty satisfied.

I looked at the two middle-class devils, they took a step back. Are they afraid? I wonder how many experience points they'll give me.

"Hmph, you seem to have some ability to be just a baby dragon."

That's what the twin on the left said.

"Too bad you're facing us. If you knew who we are, you'd pee your pants."

That's what the one on the right said.

Now, seriously.

These two are idiots.

For starters, I'm not a baby dragon. I used to be, but now I'm a proper dragon child.

Second, I can't pee my pants for one simple reason.

I'm not wearing any pants.

I'm a dragon, you know? Dragons don't wear pants. We go with our little brother in the air.

They're making a weird gesture. They're putting their two palms together in the air.

Are they doing a fusion? Are they from dragon ball?

"We're the Cuckold brothers."

[Dragon Punch]

My fist was covered in dark flames and…

[Aquired 204 experience points]

[Aquired 204 experience points]

[Because of title skill [Walking Egg: Lv-] another 204 experience was acquired.]

[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 22 to 25]

[Level of normal skill [Dragon punch] was increased from 2 to 3]

It's been more profitable for me to kill the ten low-class devils than these two idiot twins.
