The battle was over, and we gathered in front of the remains of the Phantom Willow.

"Wow... I can't believe you're a human being and defeated the durable Phase Willow all at once"

"It's easier to move this way. I'm used to fighting. Besides, the [Mirror of the Underworld] of my characteristic skills gives me almost zero MP required for the [technique of humanization]. It also soothes my wrapped demons."

Meer replies, laughing lightly.

Aro had gone from [Lv: 97/130] to [Lv: 102/130] in this battle, and Trent had gone from [Lv: 99/130] to [Lv: 102/130].

It's almost Meer's offense that knocked him down, but he's level enough just for the minute he's been dispensed.

That's all that means that Aiya was a strong enemy.

Besides, as Meer said, the damage itself went through quite a bit.

It's mostly allot I was attacking, but Trent is up a bit too, and although he's inferior in width, he's well on his level.

After all, the influence of [Reaper's Species] can't seem to be quite foolish.

Think about it, a move that works for any superior opponent and can be defeated one day as long as it sticks.

"You're not up there than I thought... neither am I. nor Lord Aro."

Trent in the wood-spirited state is a little disappointed.

"Surely, Ilsia, it would have been better to have you on your back, wouldn't it? If only we had created a stable and attackable situation, we would have defeated them without our direct attack. But I wanted you to experience the battle against legendary demons."

"Nah, I see..."

Trent uses my front leg as a shield to hide, and he looks at Meer softly.

... Trent would also be scared of being able to put an eye on Meer with an extra thing in his mouth.

"But wouldn't it have been better for the Dragon God to defeat you than for you, the biggest on the level?

That's what Allo said to Meer.

"Ah, Lord Aro!

Trent moves winged.

Meer chuckled when she saw Trent.

"I'm glad you're concerned, but I guess I'll miss being so vigilant"

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Trent lowers his head.

Meer looked at it with a bitter laugh.

Then zero "Hmm" and put your hand on your chin.

He seemed to sum up his thoughts a little and in his head.

"Ilsia, I don't see your level as that much of a challenge. While it is true that the Epic status rises wide, I think experience, technology and information are more important than that. Where the numbers have changed by a hundred or two hundred, once the attack hits or falls off, it's a difference to the extent that it wasn't that easy. Of course, I've never been over it."

I think two hundred more attacks and quickness would change a lot...

No, but it seemed more pure combat skill than status that Meer was overwhelming Phase Willow.

What Meer says is certainly convincing.

When my Howgrey opponent didn't see my tactics, I was stuck with my low combat skills.

Even I have had the experience of fighting madness in death.

But if I have to go out and fight, the [Spirit Servant] of the Voice of God is a good choice among the sacred skills of the past.

All in line with Meer, or worse, it would be more than that.

"And, Ilsia, I hear you have an experience doubling skill. There's also a battle with Hecaton Cale, so we'll be right up to the max. The cap on evolution won't come off easily either, and I wanted you to see how I fought, rather than rush here. There's no way we're gonna bump into each other in the fight against Hecaton Cale, and it's not weird to have any more demons in the tower."

I do agree with that idea.

It's not like I wanted any offense toward the Hekatonkale battle, but Meer's power is high.

Besides, Aro and Trent are also considerably more level than last time.

Rather than worrying too much about levels, you should give importance to whether you can make solid and efficient damage moves.

And my level should be able to take it as close as possible to the level max as soon as I defeat Hecaton Cale.

It may not be directly level max because it will separate me from Meer, Aro and Trent, but as Meer puts it, it also makes less sense to stick that much to level max itself.

I'm sure you should do it if you can, but it was more important for us to know how to fight Meer.

Besides, they saw how Meer fought and made me recognise what I was missing.

Regardless, just because you are conscious does not mean that you acquire combat skills and experience overnight.

But that's why I'm not going to give up.

From one battle at a time, we just have to try to get something to connect with first.

Lilixilla was also good at battle reading and technology.

The beginning was overwhelming, but in my extreme exchange of life with her too, I was beginning to eat it at the end.

Otherwise, I would have been the one who lost.

As then, in the fight against the superficial, we have no choice but to absorb their thoughts and techniques.

The battle between Meer and Aiya brought that reality to me.

Aro was still looking at Meer in an unconvincing way.

Meer's thinking and consciousness are very different from mine.

Perhaps there are many parts of Aro and Trent that are not immediately acceptable.

Meer's way of thinking, too, would not have convinced me in the end if I hadn't been overwhelmed by the height of Howgrey and Lilixiela's combat surveys.

Meer looks to the giant tower that wears heaven, far away.

"... you're going to get to Hekatonkale soon. How about a meal break and a deeper rapport? Neither do you want to save your lives and fight against someone you don't know."

That's what Meer said and laughed niggly, changing her face.

I followed her gaze, too, and stared at the remains of Phase Willow.

My guts were zero out of where I had taken Meer's last blow decently, and because of the beating on Oki, I had a ton of eyeballs pulling up and grotesque things.

'... Seriously?

"Now we're talking, aren't we? You're so thin, Dragon."

Meer seemed to enjoy my reaction.

"As it is, well, I can go because I don't have people's heads on me..."

With that said, I was thinking that Phase Willow's giant eyeball was more of a human eyeball than a snake.
