For example, Magic Burst, after reaching level 5, directly changes from 1 bar to 2 bars, not only doubling the expected damage, but also doubling the attack frequency.
Whether it's Magic Burst or [Extra Attack], both can trigger [Soul Aura]'s additional damage twice upon hitting an enemy.
It's incredibly sinister.
Immediately afterwards, he replaced the level 1 [Blazing Slash] with the level 3 [Spell Counter].
Similar to Arcane Spells, a sorcerer's known spells can be replaced once per level.
However, since [Vulnerability Curse], [Shield], and [Stealth Step] are the underlying logic of the Cursed Sword, we can only work on the remaining spells.
The power of [Silver Light Sharp Words] surpasses that of the Ring Rank. Under the rules of the pull-style room, [Shadow Blade] can be used continuously until long rest without focusing, which can reliably increase output. [Mirror Image] is even more of a life-saving divine skill. After thinking it over, only [Blazing Flame Slash] can be used with a knife.
After all, with the advent of Magic Slash, most slashing spells...
All that fancy stuff is pointless; it's better to just unleash a magic-based attack.
Therefore, it would be better to bring a spell counter to improve the ability to fight spell battles.
After all, before becoming a part-time paladin, he was still a minor evil... a weak and pitiful fragile character who could actually be killed by AoE immunity spells.
[Soul Aura] is used for clearing mobs in PvE, and [Spell Counter] is used for PvP. Apart from AoE, I have everything I need.
Koshimura withdrew his hand, looked at the panel in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.
well.
Having been in this world for so long, I have finally regained one ten-thousandth of my divine power.
[I was so scared I cried]
Koshimura Sawa closed the panel, returning his gaze to reality.
From the time the upgrade was completed to the time the selection was made, only two or three minutes passed in reality.
Not much time had passed since then, only about two minutes at most. Hachiman Kairin was still resting against her bass axe, while Yutenji Wakana remained dumbfounded.
...So you really shouldn't close it? It's easy to dislocate your jaw like that.
Just then, in the pile of ashes in the center of the field, the last spark quietly extinguished, turning into countless tiny specks of light that rose up.
The remaining paper inside the subway station began to disintegrate and break apart on its own, merging into the specks of light.
As if guided, it began to slowly sink, outlining a blurry human figure on the ground.
Then came the second, the third...
The outline gradually becomes clear, flesh and blood are filled in, and the colors return.
—It was those people who had been turned into paper by the monsters who were standing there blankly, seemingly not fully understanding what had happened.
"Um, how about we leave for a bit?" Yuecun Ze suggested, looking at the growing number of figures regaining consciousness with confused and panicked expressions. "If there are too many people, it will be difficult to get out."
“I have no objection.” Hachiman Kairin said succinctly, straightening up neatly and putting her bass axe back on her back.
"Hey...wait for me!" Yutenji Wakana finally shut her mouth, hurriedly grabbed her things, and limped after him.
------
"Ah..." Yutenji Wakana looked at her now-empty satchel, which had been used to store various alchemical tools and materials, and let out a mournful cry with her cat-like butt face down on her hip. "I'm really bankrupt now..."
How long would it take to stream this, and how many orders would I need to get to earn that back...?
"Be content, Mr. Meow." Koshimura Sawa leaned against the railing, unscrewed the bottle of his sports drink, and took a swig. "Being caught up in an anomaly of this magnitude and managing to survive unscathed is already pretty lucky..."
He glanced back and saw that the entrance to the subway station had been cordoned off with yellow and black striped police tape, and many staff members in Adventurers' Guild uniforms were busy going in and out, maintaining order and handling matters on site.
“That’s true…” Yutenji Wakana sighed helplessly, and like Koshimura Sawa, she leaned on the railing, closed her eyes, and her soft cheeks were slightly deformed by the pressure of the metal railing, like a lazy cat.
The cat looks so content.
"—No." She suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Koshimura Sawa with suspicion. "How do you know who I am?"
"You're a social media influencer, you know. It's normal for people to recognize you when you walk down the street," Yuecunze said helplessly, spreading his hands. "Besides, I have a female classmate who really likes your workshop's products."
"Really? Really?" Yutenji Ruomai's eyes lit up immediately. "Then can you tell me which product from Meow Dream Workshop impressed you the most?"
Such market research opportunities are rare in real life, so she certainly wouldn't let them slip by.
“Aphrodisiac spray,” Koshimura Sawa said through gritted teeth.
Yutenji Wakana's expression froze instantly.
"Well..." she forced a smile, "Actually, not all of our products at Meow Dream Workshop are like that. We mainly focus on practical and innovative alchemical tools; that's just a matter of market demand..."
Koshimura Sawa didn't speak, but just looked at her with a calm gaze that seemed to say, "Go on, I'm listening."
Yutenji Wakana felt cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
"Hello, are you a registered member of Free Stonemasonry and the registered workshop owner Yutenji Wakana?" Just then, a staff member walked up to her with a record board. "We need you to register your information here."
"Ah! Yes, yes, it's me." Yutenji Wakana nodded repeatedly, then turned to Koshimura Sawa. "Excuse me, I have to go over and help with some work..."
Koshimura nodded.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned back, and took out her phone.
"Um... buddy, how about we add each other on Line?" she said shamelessly. "Since we've been through thick and thin together, you'll be my VIP customer from now on! I'll give you a 20% discount on all products from Meow Dream Workshop, and you can even try out new products in advance."
Although he appears to be unassuming, he is a terrifying being capable of summoning a single blow that could eliminate that horrible monster.
And he's still just a high school student!
Once they grow up, won't they have a bright future?
We have to hold on tight to this guy!
This is my investment acumen!
"A discount is fine, but I'll pass on the trial..." Yuecunze took out his phone and added her as a friend.
While that composite enhancement patch was indeed quite good, who knows if the new product she pulled out might be something even more incredible than that aphrodisiac spray.
Are you using me as a free guinea pig?
It would be terrible if I accidentally let my animalistic instincts run wild.
[Guo Nan really did it]
I'll just pull out my Darius and go all out on him, becoming a Darius dog.
【? 】
Koshimura watched her carefully moving away, her figure slowly disappearing into the distance.
You know what, Teacher Da Miao's long, white legs, paired with that off-shoulder top and bodycon skirt, are really something else.
She has a captivating charm that surpasses that of the shy, innocent girls in school.
[Oops, I'm summoning your spirit again, ACG.]
What's wrong with them? Aren't they all five-member groups whose names start with the letter A, who caused a sensation upon their debut, who have their own virtual worldviews, and whose fans generate a lot of fan-created content?
Just then, Koshimura felt someone silently walk up to him and lean against the railing as well.
He turned his head to look at the moon chair, the second and third layers of water, and then ($} seven) three & died.
It's Hachiman Kairin.
She had taken off her black leather jacket and casually draped it over her shoulders. The wolf ears and tail that had appeared during the battle had also disappeared, and she had returned to her usual calm and somewhat aloof demeanor.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Yuecun Ze asked, looking at the bandage wrapped around her shoulder.
Reality is not a board game; no matter how many injuries you suffer, it's just a matter of numbers changing.
Getting injured can really affect your performance in battle.
"It's nothing, just some superficial injuries and a slight muscle strain," Hachiman Kairin said calmly. "Compared to that, the wolf spirit is more damaged, and it will probably take several days to heal."
"That's good. Thank you so much for today. Without you stalling for time, I wouldn't have had the chance to prepare that later," said Koshimura Sawa sincerely.
"You're quite impressive." Hachiman Kairin turned to look at him. "Are you part of a regular adventure party?"
"Well..." Koshimura hesitated for a moment, "I guess you could say I've joined, but the adventure team isn't complete yet."
"I see," Hachiman Kairin replied.
"And you?" Koshimura Sawa asked in return.
"Me?" Hachiman Kairin twitched the corners of her mouth, her expression complex, as if she were laughing, yet also mocking herself. "Don't you know what rumors are circulating about me?"
"I don't know," said Yuecunze. "But I actually think you're quite capable. Our adventure team happens to be lacking someone like you."
Hachiman Kairin was clearly stunned, her emerald green eyes staring straight at Koshimura Sawa, and this time she was stunned for longer than ever before.
A few seconds later, she looked away, gazing at the dark horizon in the distance, her voice lower: "If you knew about my past experiences, you probably wouldn't think that way."
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket.
A small object flew towards Eshimura Sawa with a slight whooshing sound, causing him to instinctively reach out and catch it.
It felt cool to the touch. When I opened my palm, a simple badge with a metallic sheen lay quietly in my hand. The design seemed to be an abstract musical instrument.
"What is this?" Koshimura Sawa picked up the badge and examined it carefully.
“The logo of an organization dedicated to upholding fairness and order and helping the weak and oppressed,” Yawata Kairin replied. “You can call us anytime if needed.”
"The Harpists' Alliance?"
“Bassists’ Alliance,” Yawata Kairin corrected.
...
Well, I can't find a way to complain right now.
Why do you all use these metal badges as tokens?
If I collect too many and wear them all on my body, wouldn't I become a legendary figure?
Just as Koshimura Sawa put the emblem back in his pocket and looked up, he saw that Hachiman Kairin had already picked up her violin case, turned her back to him, and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Koshimura Sawa quickly chased after him.
Hachiman Kairin kept walking, even quickening her pace slightly.
Koshimura also quickened his pace to catch up.
When Hachiman Kairin turns left, he turns left; when Hachiman Kairin turns right, he turns right.
Yawata Kairin suddenly quickened her pace.
He quickened his pace as well.
"What exactly do you want?" Hachiman Kairin finally couldn't hold back any longer, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at him.
[A. "Wife, wife, look at my legs."]
[B. Bury your head in her chest and take a deep breath]
【C. "My dad, Hailing, and my mom, Lixi, brought me into this world with a crazy bang, bang, bang!"】
Which bar did you detect this time?
"Wife, wife, look at my legs."
When Koshimura saw Hachiman Kairin reach for the zipper on the violin case, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Wait, wait—I was just kidding. I just wanted to ask when the bonus will be paid out and where to collect it."
"Bonus?" Hachiman Kairin paused, a look of confusion on her face.
"Yeah, didn't Yuji Takamatsu say there would be a bonus?"
"...Come with me." Hachiman Kairin hesitated for a moment, but finally took another step.
Koshimura Sawa quickly followed behind her.
As night fell, the two figures gradually blended into the city lights and disappeared from sight.
Chapter 54 [Human Collection]
At RiNG's bar, Koshimura Sawa stirred the unidentified red liquid in his glass with a straw, looking quite pleased with himself.
Of course, not only did he take the money standing up, but he also took the opportunity to scold Takamatsu Nakano, who had let his teammates down.
Fighting is fun!
