Chapter 40: Looks like not only gobs and kobolds have to be exterminated, but old dudes as well.
Day 23 Night, the Cave.
Phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Crap. Did the high density of old men cause me to begin turning into one as well? Is it contagious? Maybe I should exterminate them?
Yes, I should. It's decided.
Even though I made a Jacuzzi, even though I made it possible to create jet streams of bubbles with wind magic, I was able to enter it only now. From its creation to enjoying it myself more than 10 days have passed. But I have no regrets. None at all.
And also no guilt, remorse, or repentance. That's because, during that period of time, 20 high school girls were using it! What I actually regret, lament, and feel very bitter about, is letting those idiots use it yesterday. If at the very least I entered it before them
No visitors today, huh?
After enjoying the Jacuzzi, I drink berry juice.
Pheeew.
Yeah, I should annihilate old men, this infection should not be allowed to spread. It's a biohazard. Without even noticing I was placing a hand on my hip, just like an old man. Crap, is it progressing?!
I'm only 16! Am I really going to turn into an old man? I should search for a herb to stop this. Should it be something that prevents aging?
Kyojitsucan be used against kobolds' speed as well. The technique is merely swinging the club in the shortest distance. The range is half a step away, one step at most. Simply put all of my strength, speed, weight, magic power and skills in one attack, combining them.
The fastest and the shortest explosive attack. But unless I learn how to link such attacks together, it will remain just a one-shot attack.
Weaving a step and a slash into one motion.
Memorize that form.
I have to be able to slash as naturally as I walk.
Remember it with my body, enforce it with my mind, wrap myself in mana, and execute that motion.
HP and MP mushrooms are super high-grade items, and potential mushrooms do not exist. There is none. At least in human society.
No one knows about them, no one saw them, and even if a rare one grows somewhere, it gets eaten by a goblin, which then will become a king or an emperor, creating his own horde, making the area inaccessible for humans.
That's why neither the lady from the general store nor guild employees knew anything about it. Without a very special, great luck, one wouldn't even know about them, much less eat them. And I'm the only one who knows how well they go with soy sauce. And I'm the only one who tried that.
Fufufu, isn't that nice.
The gobs dropped monster bracelets, +1% from leaders, +3% kings, and +6% the emperor. The same goes for kobolds. And the bracelets seem to combine? Like, if they are put together, they become one?
Something of that sort? But it doesn't seem to increase the weight.
Experience-wise it would be better to kill a lot of weak monsters. Numbers make a difference. The depths of the forest have stronger monsters, but in turn, there aren't as many of them. Well, if there were many, I would've been dead.
But the bracelets are nice. Even if one gave only +1%, 100 of them would already mean +100%. In a way, it's even better than a level up.
Kyojitsu Lv2(New 2Up), which I just obtained already gained 2 levels, which is nice, but on the other hand, after going that far, it got only 2 levels. Is there something more to it? Can it develop even further?
I probably gotInstantaneous Movement Lv 1from the repeated movement at high speed. After allExtreme Velocity Lv 5went up by 4 levels, so I probably pushed it quite hard.
AndGymnastics Lv 8went up 3 levels. It seems that I misunderstood it, doing radio gymnastics every morning like a fool when it seems that it actually meant coordination or agility Then just say so. Unnatural movements from Kyojitsu probably caused it to level up, improving my coordination.
So it's not like I got better at gymnastics.
Well, it makes sense, forcibly moving my body through skills removes useless movements and strength, but it still doesn't change that it is a forced movement.
But what I don't get is God Eye Lv 1. Is it an eye of a god? Or can I see gods? If I can see gods then I'll put that old geezer through a sermon as soon as I spot him!
My abilities are limited. Some things are not possible for me.
There is a limit to what I can try, and to what I can do.
Well, now
