Riot Grasper

The sharp nails swung down here were quite caloric. A bright red murder weapon reminiscent of burnt iron would not spare burns if it were touched immediately.

but the sword you just took won't melt down.

"Konn's... Ooh!

I'm not so sure of my eyesight that I can keep staring at each other with my opponent's attacks stopped...

Though swords and claws, he unleashed a full knee kick on his opponent's defenseless abdomen to interrupt the impending impending attack, causing him to fall ill.

At the same time pierce and retract the center of your body with a positive fist thrust from a lower back.

"Rookie! Now!"

"Quouuuuuuuu!"

Immediately responding to my voice, the scalloped dragon Luke opens his jaw (and afterwards) wide as he waits, focusing his consciousness and agglomerating grains of light into his mouth.

At the next moment, a blinding golden brace ravaged the enemy's body.

Has it become impossible for enemies burned by the high heat of light to support their own weight, or they fall straight to the ground?

... Apparently, it's completely out of order.

"Phew...... well done, Luke. You're getting enough of it in action."

"Quo."

I approach Luke, who sounds good, and praise him as he gently strokes his throat.

It is the demon called 'Nailblaster' that is emitting smoke with the skunks on the floor. This guy with the big nails gets his nails heated and attacked by vibrations emitted in the living body.

The exterior looks...... probably best described as lizard human. Deep green scales covering the entire body with gourmet and longitudinally stretched eyes. The characteristic nails are half the length of the sword I possess.

"- Hey, you're really brilliant. I didn't think you had as much means of attack as the horseman you were carrying."

It was a man wearing clothes that were dirty with dust and dirt who appeared from the shadows. There were more than one human behind it, too, with a gaze on this one.

"Hey, you're still an adventurer. I can count on Luke over here."

The request I received this time is their escort.

Their job is to discover and reuse useful resources from ruins and such, apparently called excavators.

He also said the magic tool bags he received from Grandpa Wom in reward were exhumed from the ruins, so they were probably what these people had found.

The site is an ancient site in the east from the Wang capital Horn.

Actually, I've been here a few times since I asked Grandpa Wom about the ancient ruins. I didn't have any particular business, but I want someone to know what it's like to be unable to help me hear the word 'ancient ruins'.

Of course, there were other requests for Rank C, but this time a request for their escort, who happens to be an excavator, was on the guild's bulletin board.

The interior of the site is quite vast and demons appear, requiring escorts by those skilled in combat.

Apart from the buildings on the surface, which are not places like the huge underground labyrinth - which spans hundreds of floors - but which are collapsed by weathering, there are also ruins underground.

It's my job today to make sure they can safely focus on excavation work.

but it also feels like it's going to end safely.

Instead of the excavated and exhausted surface, I dived into a dark, jittery basement, but my eyes had already begun to see the light on the ground.

"- It's dazzling..."

Something called sunlight is gentle and warm, even if you feel the tingling pain in your eyes. I haven't crawled out onto the ground in hours, and I slowly stretched out my body to let the sun shine all over my body.

"Thank you for taking my request for an escort today. Thanks to you, I was able to find a few interesting things."

I'd love to take a peek in the Bandit's Eye (Liot Eyes) at what kind of bag the excavator is carrying, but if you want it, I'll regret it, so don't.

In the meantime, the request was successfully completed, so I asked him to sign the request before sending the excavators to the nearest city.

I guess they'll be hiring a separate escort to travel down the street again.

Speaking of which, I plan to return to Horn, the king's capital, by the end of the day.

It was Luke driving me down the street at a fierce speed, but I ask him to take a little off the street along the way.

I made sure there were no people or demons around, and I got off Luke's back and talked to him.

"Yes, yes. I thought I'd give it to Luke by the time I got to King's Landing."

Slowly concentrate your consciousness as you touch the beautiful scales that can be described as the wet feathers of ravens.

A warm thing in my body pours from where I'm touching to Luke... such a strange feeling tells my body.

After finishing the work without any problems, I concentrated my awareness on Luke just in case.

The skills currently in Luke's possession are:

Claw LV2 (41/50)

Light Magic LV3 (2/150)

Fire Attribute Resistance LV2 (20/50)

"Water attribute resistance LV2 (22/50)"

Wind Attribute Resistance LV1 (7/10)

"Land Attribute Resistance LV1 (8/10)"

is.

Hmmm. I mean sweet inside me... is it a pleasure to grow?

It has grown strong for a long time, even though it is about a week since I began to stay in the Wang capital, Horn.

If this goes up to LV3 until nail surgery, I feel like I'm going to be someone I can't easily beat.

I can follow demons stronger than myself...... such a dangerous pleasure sounds like a lot of fun too, but I'm going to be reverent when riding.

'Dear Luke, may I still ride you on your back today?

"I don't mind."

...... yeah. You're not a horseman anymore. This.

Besides, Luke's a girl for once. There is no such thing.

Incidentally, I have never been very aware of the order of skills, etc., but if I thought that it would be easier to see because I have more skills in my possession, I started to sort them out on my own.

The bandit's eye looks pretty high performance.

Briefly describing how I grew Luke up to this point, it began with the first transfer of the light magic skills I possessed.

For me to possess former magic, light magic was dual possession in a way, but light magic was LV3 and former magic was LV2.

Versatile light magic remained in possession, as higher LV's take precedence over skills.

For the first time, I also thought I should get skills that didn't matter and try them out first, but I didn't want Luke's skill frame to be filled with weird stuff.

Once again, if you take the skills you transferred to Luke, the skill frame will come back to normal, but if you fail to take them, the skills that don't matter will remain forever. Because the same skill of the same subject who fails to take it once cannot be taken again.

Given those worries, it can be said that the light magic skills were just right for me to try.

As a result, my light magic skills have been successfully transferred and used by Luke.

The "Skill Return" released when the "Bandit's Divine Skill (Liot Glasper)" became LV2 was to return only what was taken from the person who took it, but the "Skill Transfer" made possible in LV3 was to hand over everything, including the proficiency I possess.

It would be difficult for them to take everything to my proficiency when trying to return temporarily borrowed skills at a later stage, so it would be necessary to use the return and transfer.

Well, that's why Luke started to possess light magic, and he practiced imagining magic.

Because of the ability to communicate, this kind of special training is also possible.

The first thing you remember - is the dragon brace.

No... well, because it's a dragon.

Although it may not be a real brace, the pseudo-dragon brace of light attributes is a move that has gone from the image of burning down enemies with high heat by particles of light to completion.

The power is also a satisfying finish from the burial of the nail blaster.

Now I can say that it was polished as another step dragon rider.

The dragon knight who runs the battlefield with refreshment - the great army is broken into two by the high-fever braces of a compliant dragon, and 100,000 soldiers lose their will by the sword flashes of an ordinary knight... I wish I could, manage to hold myself back swelling the delusion that etc.

... I'm practicing some other magic, but now would be a good time.

As for nail art, it is the result of the continued transfer to Luke of what he took from the nail blaster when he was visiting several ancient sites, including today.

I transferred the scallops with sharp nails because I thought they could be used, but I can handle this one without any problems.

I tried to deal with him with my sword a few times, but when I was judged by the nails that were on Luke's tough rear leg, I felt it could be a fatal wound...

When we fight, I want to apologize from here as soon as possible.

I was a little interested in what would happen if I used nail art myself... but this is dismissed because there is probably just a tragic end waiting for the raw nail to peel off.

Fire and water attribute resistance were originally possessed by Luke, but in any case, I would have tolerated all attributes. It was Nori who added wind and earth attribute resistance.

I have no reflection or regret.

Satisfied.

The soil attribute resistance was taken from a rock-like demon called 'Garganrock', which also inhabited an ancient site, and the wind attribute resistance was taken from a large worm-type demon called 'Windzeble', which was repelled at a separate request.

- This is how my Beast Luke has been steadily strengthened.

Speaking of my status at heart...

Would you have understood?

Little has changed except for the loss of light magic skills.

Even if you admit the fact that you were on the verge of reinforcing the horseman...

"I don't know if I can find a demon that possesses the first priority physical enhancement skills."

I wish I could conveniently encounter demons like Geegvolg many times, but it doesn't work that well.

"Ah... speaking of which, you hadn't had lunch yet"

I noticed my own stomach sending a sign of hunger, and when I took the larger package out of the tool bag on my hips and spread it out, a chunk of meat looked like it.

Obviously a mass that exceeds the appearance capacity of the tool bag, but it's no surprise.

This magic tool bag that Grandpa Wom gave me was a treasure.

This is how Luke's rice can be prepared all the time because he can keep more than he looks. It also contains all the other nails I stripped from the nail blaster I knocked down earlier, my lunch, water bottles to change, maps and stuff.

Moreover, the quality of ancient technology, which does not make you feel weighty, just makes you lose your mind.

I also want to know what the limit capacity is, but I'm not going to be able to get back on my feet if I'm too unscrupulous and torn.

This is how I'm going to add a little more stuff to it.

... One thing that turns out is that no organism can be put in this bag.

I won't go in there with the demons I made alive, and what's going on in the bag? I couldn't even try to stick my head in because of the interest.

Even though it is ok to stick your hand in the bag, it is truly strange.

That said, it doesn't make a difference that it is convenient, and I am reluctantly allowed to use it.

- That's how we filled our bellies with late lunch, and once again we turned our back to the king's capital.

In the evening we arrive in Horn and take the waterway as usual on the Luke to Taste Man Pompong Ko Pavilion.

I'll take Luke over to the Riding Beast Hall and slap him in the neck with a "good day".

"Well... and. I'm not even that hungry yet, so I thought I'd do some training."

In a large space outside the Riding Beast Hall, he pulled his sword out of the sheath he was raising on his hips and placed it in his front eye.

Keep going, swing slowly - flash.

The blow that cleaves the sky, if I say so, is just a bare gesture.

This is how I try to train myself in my free time these days.

... For various reasons, physical enhancement skills are proportional corrections to the flesh of vegetables, so my own muscle strength should increase my effectiveness. It is also important to increase skill proficiency, but these authentic efforts will not be wasted either.

Besides, I thought if I worked out my body, my skill proficiency might also increase...... Again, my skill in swordsmanship and physical enhancement skills wasn't as sweet as it would have been in a day or two.

I'm sure humans in this world are working harder.

Regarding abnormal state resistance and vitality enhancement, I may be able to expect an upside by taking a sip of the poison I bought at the store or chopping my own body, but if I did that, my spirit would be more sick, so I rejected it.

I want to try to take these away from demons and such.

"- Huh!"

With that thought on my mind, I finished my bareback.

It should have been evening, but the area is completely a space dominated by darkness. I sheath my sword with slightly heavier arms, bitterly laughing that if I have been waving my sword for just a few hours, my body, strengthened by my skills, should also be tired.

The more hungry I was, the more I started walking back into the inn, the sound of wings cutting the wind from overhead.

I stayed on the spot in no hurry, staring into the black shadow descending on my shoulder and calling out.

Good luck, Kroko.

I'm stuck with the meat I took out of my tool bag, apart from Luke, who bought it from the Beast Rider, a demon I tamed - a Bradley Ben crocodile.

Follow Rim... This is how she came to me for a regular report, faithful to her mission of keeping a warm eye on her from above.

"- Phew. You've arrived safely in a city called Grania? Looks like some girls are traveling together, and Rim's having fun."

Through the Bernica Castle Fortress city, which is the border, we are relieved of fatigue in the city's hot springs at the foot (* no detailed report by Kroko) and receive reports of a safe arrival in a city called Grania in the south.

"Kuaah."

"Yeah. I've said this before, because this is what I'm doing to show Rim who I am. I'm sure Mr. Arnold sent his daughter out because of her character, just in case. It's never a good thing to close with those weird words, is it?

You understood my point, Kroko, who was resting his tired wings due to long distance travel, once again flew off my shoulder.

I try to blend into the dark darkness, and in no time do I see Croc.

"Well... duh. Shall we have dinner later?"

I slowly resumed walking towards the inn entrance.

By the way, what Kroko was saying earlier was,

"Somehow, your husband's looking like a perverted stalker."

is.

... Kroko is a kid who doesn't wrap what he wants to tell in an oblate, even though he's quite comfortable with it. Yeah, I'd appreciate the honesty in doing it and explaining the situation properly, but where the hell did you learn those words?

Was it my previous husband?... those inferior bastards.

I lay my hands on the door of the Taste Man Pong Ko Pavilion and look around in the dining room on the first floor.

It's a late hour to eat dinner, but the fire doesn't seem to have dropped yet, making me smell appetizing. There were few guests, and the fact that the liquor store was also full of intoxicated people was seen.

When I sat in my seat and spoke to the kitchen, rarely Mr. Uranium brought me the dish.

"That... isn't Mr. Stella here today?

As always, Stella, the billboard daughter, carries the food well.

"There was a bit of a lot going on today. Sometimes Stella used to say that when I carry food, the flavor drops, but I hope it's a joke."

Somewhere unwell, Mr. Uranium showed me his best smile as a guest.

Usually, the two of us are in the air that the spicy soup is going to sweeten, but today's soup was just a little soggy.

It does taste good...... something is different than usual.

After I finished my meal, I took the dishes myself to the kitchen and called out to Mr. Uranium, who was dripping in the back.

"Um... I don't seem to be well, is something wrong?

He was Mr. Uranium, who pointed his face at me for such a question, but he said something. And then he would shut his mouth again.

If you don't want to tell me, when you decide you can't ask, and you try to go back to your room,

"- Uranium. Sometimes it's easier just to ask someone, right?

It was Magdalena, the general of this inn, who made such a voice. The piercing silhouette that has come down the stairs is still like a mother.

I wonder what it is. Did Mr. Uran and Mr. Stella even have a fight?

Then I don't think there's anything to worry about.

'Cause the next day, you'll see that we're making up.

By the way - the words uttered by Mr. Uranium, who stood up as if he had decided to do so, were just a little different than I had expected.

"Mr. Magdalena... Me - I'm going to quit this store"
