587 – Symbol of Fortune

Flying around, I continue to dodge the [Heat Rays]. I can see through the kesaran-pasarans’ movements. All that’s left is to let Aro and treant attack them. This should get Aro out of the low levels… I also want treant to be able to evolve soon.

“Dragon-god-sama… Umm, is there something that’s bothering you?”

Aro calls out to me. She might have picked up on my irritation over finding out about [God of Madness].

『…I’ll explain later. Right now, we need to deal with these guys.』

“O-okay!”

I was already planning on hunting the monsters here to raise our levels, but… The monsters in this Forest of Ngai need to be freed from [God of Madness] too.

『Please leave it to me! I-I will do it too! I’m starting to get used to this height!』

I sense a red glow from behind me. Glancing backward, I see the treant radiating red light. It looks somewhat surreal…

『I’ll show them! They’re not the only ones who can use [Heat Ray]!』

His beam of red light directly hits one of the kesaran-pasarans, burning a line from its top to its bottom. Strange cotton-like clumps scatter through the air.

『How was that, master-dono?』

…Its HP hasn’t gone down much. It was quite a good hit, but only did sixteen damage… I see… Well, I guess that makes sense. Treant is lower in both rank and level, and he’s never been much of an attack-specialist.

『I can tell that was a good hit!』

『Good work, treant! I’ll get a bit closer next time, so could you try using [Guard Lost] or [Antipower] to apply status conditions? That should still give you some of the experience!』

『Ah… Sure, I understand…』

It seems he was able to infer how little it did… His disappointment comes through clearly though the [Telepathy]. Sorry, treant… But, probably no matter how many [Heat Rays] you shoot, you won’t get a significant amount of experience points…

“Dragon-god-sama! Umm… Is it okay if I take a little mana?”

Aro calls out, and I nod. Whenever she sucks out some of my mana, the strength of her magic is temporarily increased.

She places two hands to my back. I feel a miniscule amount of mana being pulled away by her [Mana Drain].

I glance at my back and see Aro surrounded by a pale blue light. That’s probably the result of borrowing the mana of an oneiros.

“[Darkness Kaleidoscope]!”

Aro’s outline becomes hazy as a black light engulfs her, and then she splits into three. It’s the clone skill she got from evolving into a [Walpurgis].

All three simultaneously raise their arms, black spheres of light forming at their outstretched fingertips. It’s [Dark Sphere].

“Aim for the one in front!”
“Got it!”

The Aros call out to each other. The three [Dark Spheres] shoot forwards simultaneously, pelting towards the lead kesaran-pasaran. The first, second, and third spheres burst against the white body surface. Its body shudders with each hit, scattering strange wads of cotton, mixing with a splash of green blood as the third sphere impacts.

“O, Oo, OOOOOOOO!”

An eerie scream resounds. This thing has a mouth somewhere in there…?

O-ooh! That did over a hundred damage! For Aro to be able to do this much while only level 1 is impressive. She should be able to get a good chunk of the experience points at this rate.

『That worked! Keep it up!』

“Yes!”

The three Aros respond in unison, their voices overlapping. I catch a glimpse of them high-fiving each other… I guess this is what it means for each of the clones to have a sense of self.

 

With dead eyes, treant watches the three Aros rejoicing.

『T-treant, umm… I’m counting on you for the status condition magic, okay?』

『…Right, that will make it easier for Aro-dono to deal damage.』

『Th-that’s right, so please don’t feel so down.』

After that, he single mindedly fires off [Guard Lost] while the three Aros shoot [Dark Spheres] side-by-side. Once the kesaran-pasaran’s HP has fallen by a little over half, I release a [Dimension Claw]. Green blood sprays out as the its body is gouged open, and it begins to fall to the ground.

【5358 experience points have been acquired.】
【Due to the title skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 5358 experience points have been acquired.】
【The level of [Oneiros] has risen from 124 to 125.】

Great, that’s the first one down.

H-her level went up by fifty all at once! Even with [Demon Lord’s Favour] helping out, that’s an incredible rate. Her offensive stat distribution really does help a great deal for levelling.

『Aro, that was amazing! Your level has gone up by fifty!』

“Really?”
“Yay!”

The three Aros rejoice. I’m glad she’s so happy. Though it does look a little unsettling.

『M-master-dono! What about me…?』

Treant frantically asks.

D-do I have to look? I can tell this is going to be painful.

I-it only went up by three… The last stretch is always hard, but right after seeing Aro go up by fifty levels at once, this is…

How were we raising his level before this? I can’t remember. I’m no longer sure what we were doing. Was raising his level always this hard…?

『Master-dono… How is it…?』

『You went up by five… No, three…』

『…Why did you exaggerate it at first, master-dono?』
