Chapter 500: Urushi’s Feeling
It’s been a few days since Fenrir came back inside me.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
Today, Fran and Urushi are still busy with their training, stalking, and fighting magic beasts. Well, I’m still stuck on this pedestal, so I used my skills to sense their presence.
It seems that the skill-sharing had grown along with my growth, extending its effective range even further than before. Now, she can go as far as the entrance of Area 4 without the sharing being cancelled. Or maybe it’s the effect of these plains and the pedestal?
Oh, the areas are the ones that I divided into according to the strength of the magical beasts that appeared when I was alone in this plain.
However, in the current Plains of the Demon Wolf, the previous point seemed to be completely meaningless.
『The strength of the monsters has gone up a lot after all. Area 1 is no exception』
In the past, Area 1 would only have small fry like goblins. Areas 2 and 3 used to have monsters with a threat level of F, and area 4 had monsters with a threat level of E, but now the threat level of the monsters that appear has gone up by one or two ranks.
Rank D magic beast seems to have appeared around the border of areas 3 and 4. In the past, it would not be surprising if one had reigned as an area boss in Area 5, the outer perimeter.
The reason why the magic beasts have become so strong is because of me. No, rather than getting stronger, it seems to be more correct to say that it has now returned to its original state.
It takes a tremendous amount of magic to summon my soul, seal it in a sword, and fix it. Of course, it is the Gods who took the lead, so they could handle most of the process. However, the pedestal and other facilities required a supply of magic power from the plains.
Well, it seems that the Gods of this world have set many restrictions, which means I can’t rely on them for everything, I guess.
To make up for the lack of magic power, they temporarily activated the magic power absorption barrier to its maximum. Because of this, the magic power of the entire Plains of the Demon Wolf had temporarily decreased, and the magic beasts that appeared became weaker.
It helped me a lot, though. It has helped me to survive and become stronger.
If the magic beast had been stronger, I would have been destroyed sooner. Even if it was safe, it would have taken me much longer to escape the Plains of the Demon Wolf. If it had been as strong as it was now, I would have been trapped in this plains for years.
I would never have met Fran in that case.
The Goddess of Chaos once told me that there is no fate in this world. But is it because I’m a former human that I feel something like fate in my encounter with Fran?
『...Looks like they took it down huh?』
Fran and Urushi had been fighting for a long time, and after storing the magic beast materials, they returned to the pedestal. They looked pretty tired.
『Good job, how was it?』
「Nn, it was pretty strong」
「Woof...」
Don’t look so dejected. I could see the frustration all over Urushi’s face. This is the first time this easygoing wolf has ever been this depressed, isn’t it?
「Master, Urushi will become stronger. So please wait a little longer」
「Woof!」
『... Haah, I understand, so don’t look at me like that. I also understand Urushi’s feelings』
I can only stay on this pedestal and watch over them. Now that I’m in this state, I can understand how Urushi feels. I want to fight alongside Fran too. I’m sure it’s the same for me and Urushi.
『... However, don’t be too reckless okay?』
「Nn. I understand」
「Woof!」
That’s a good answer.
『Ah――』
《Analysis is complete. Proceeding with the repairs. Until the restoration is complete, the main personality will go into a dormant state, and all contact with the outside world will be cut off》
『What?』
Oioi, I haven’t heard anything about this! I mean, oh jeez, the pedestal is starting to glow!
〈The repair is expected to be completed in approximately 150 days〉
『F-fran! It looks like I’ll be leaving you for a while!』
「Master?」
「Woof?」
『During the repair, I will not be able to speak with you! It’s supposed to be done in about 150 days! Sorry! I didn’t expect it to be this soon!』
「Master!」
「Woof woof!」
『Good luck with your training! But be careful! Don’t be reckless! Get along with Urushi! Also, listen carefully to what Amanda says――』
And that’s when I lost consciousness.
