Shinka no Mi

Crates and Great Advances

"Kaha......!

Me, Altria Grem, was blown up big and slapped on the wall.

A giant pitch-black dragon overlooks me as I slip off the wall without force.

'Hum. I worked pretty hard for humans...... and should I praise you?

"Ha... ha... Ku...!

To the dragon's words, I couldn't even afford to say anything back.

My whole body screamed and I'm about to fall down again.

Still... you can't die...

The dragon opened his eyes a little when he saw me still forcing my blood-soaked body to move.

"Hmmm... more than I thought... I changed my mind. Don't just kill me, let me feed you. '

"Ah?"

Food? What the hell...

While my consciousness was blurred, I had no idea what the dragon meant.

"Then let's just..."

Not sure, the pitch-black dragon has kept his sharp fangs and his constant flaming mouth close to me.

Food... oh, I see. Apparently, he's going to eat me.

But... I'm telling you you can't die...!

I awaken my hazy consciousness with temper.

"Mm."

Then he looks into my eyes, where the fighting spirit dwelled again, and the dragon is astonished.

"I don't like this move...!

Strong grip on my specialty, the Battle Axe of the Earth, activated a move derived from my two names… 'Disaster'.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

I can feel a tremendous amount of fighting lingering in my body.

At the same time, I was concerned that the part of reason in me was disappearing.

My two names "catastrophe" have a lot to do with my physical parts, of course, but it was the moves I activated that really made me "catastrophic".

A knitted move to counter my own call-out 'disaster', but even temporarily, reason disappears, causing a lot of damage to my surroundings...

As a result, it was a move that I turned myself into a 'disaster', more than a 'disaster' that I called for. While I'm at it, I think you made a knack for the end of the fall.

Well, thanks to you, the catastrophe has been overcome.

Besides, now there's nobody around but dragons. That's why I can be thoughtfully rampant......

"'Disaster Frenzy (Calamity Berserk)'......!

The last time reason completely disappeared, an enormous amount of fighting erupted from my body.

"This is..."

I can't see anything.

Nothing gets in my ear.

I can't think of anything.

"but ahhhhhhhhhhh!

!?

I'm going wild.

That's just it.

◆ ◇ ◆

I, Shu Seiichi, had recovered from the instant killing of the crate and was collecting the dropped items.

"Hmmm...... this time there's still a sphere with status on it and something that looks like a skill card"

When I was a Sandman, my skill cards were sucked right into my system.

Neither the sphere with the status on it this time nor the skill card will be sucked right into my body, and it remains there on the spot. What the hell is the standard for what is not to be immediately absorbed?

I don't get an answer for thinking about it, so I'll be right back to work.

"Let's start with the skill card…"

"Skill cards - understanding all languages"

"Magic Card: Space Magic/Polar"

"Sounds a lot awesome."

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm so used to these hand cheats! But why. Why are you so vain......!

I took the content of my cheat skills into my body without checking it out. I decided to check my skills after I joined Mr. Altria.

That's very surprising. I thought I'd get some more skills or something......

With that in mind, I now took the sphere with the status in my hand.

"Magic: 5000"

"Attack: 0"

"Defense: 0"

"Jun Min Li: 5000"

"Demonic Attack: 5000"

"Demon Defense: 0"

"Luck: 0"

"Charm: 5000"

"I lost the crate. Oh, oh, oh!

The charm... the charm...!

Is my charm even inferior to a crate?!? Or 50,000 charm value! Too expensive!?

More than that, overall status! You're so biased!? That's a magic specialty! No magic, no physics, no defenses!

But... that's a different kind of guy for an athlete run. The speed is unusual, too.

Take a sphere of status into your body, thinking that it doesn't matter very much.

"Well... Next up is" The Life of a Crate ""

Take the booklet that was falling to the ground and look at the cover.

"Crate Story"

"You too!

It's the second time you've followed Zeanos!

That means again under the cover......

"It's Nonfiction."

"So that's not a story!

Do you know what fiction and non-fiction mean?

Salia asks me if I'm making a scene with items full of scratches in a row.

"Oh, you were even reading in the woods. The same one?"

"Huh? Oh, no. Think it's different this time, huh?

"Really? Then read it! I want to hear it!

That's what Salia says with an innocent smile, so I started reciting The Crate Story as it were, with no particular reason to say no.

"A crate is a unique monster demonized by an event"

...... hmm? What's a unique monster? Translated directly, it means like the only demon... okay.

"At first, it was utilized at a certain party just as a box to put in and carry luggage. By then, there was no self and it really just existed as a tool. But the significance of one famous adventurer's presence was changed by the tools he brought back from a dungeon of high difficulty………… [Item Box] '

Heh... an item box existed as a tool. I can't imagine what it looks like though.

So did Mr. Altria normally use the item box, too?

"The ability of the item box was something like being able to store tools indefinitely, without worrying about capacity, and even the weight of what I had stored was a great tool that didn't make me feel at all. In contrast, the chest had a limited amount to store, and there were numerous inconveniences such as heavy and bulky. Still, the party that owned the crate kept using the crate. A major reason was that we had to dive into a highly challenging dungeon and retrieve the item box. But that point is also resolved by a famous magician. It discovered the art of mass producing item boxes. With this technology, the item boxes were instantly used among people, and only when had the treasure chest ceased to exist '

I see... item boxes are now an easy substitute to get. One of these days, if you buy it to Salia and give it to her, it could be a lot of convenience.

Sure... given the convenience of the item box, you won't need a crate...

"Mr. Crate..."

Turning her gaze in Salia's direction, Salia had a sad look on her face.

Somehow, you're pure. I guess I've just lived in the wild and my sensitivity is stronger than ours. It's so nice to be able to honestly express your feelings.

With that in mind, keep reading.

"And finally, the party that kept using the crate also began to make use of the item box. Crates that were no longer worthy of use were deemed unnecessary and discarded. I can still work hard. I can still work. At the same time I wanted to speak up, for the first time, I was born into a chest. But the party had already left the scene and the crate was left alone. I also made an effort to speak up in order to get myself noticed. Then, at some point, the chest was ready to speak up. Still, nobody notices. We had a lonely night, watched the unbroken morning sun, and the chest kept waiting for when people needed it '

Crate, whoa, whoa, whoa!

You're him...! How healthy!

And to you in the chest, you had such a past...! I'm sorry I tried to get through!?

"I waited a long time, but it didn't come then. The fact made the chest sad. To myself, who was drank by the course of the times and became unnecessary. It was when I was struck and desperate by the irrationality of the world. I can think of a chest. If you're going to cut everyone off as unnecessary, you just have to appeal to how much you can use, '

That's not what a chest can come up with!

'So, the chest first thought about why I was dumped. The fact that the item box can be stored without worrying about capacity. And in that I can't feel the weight at all. A chest with a perspective on these was the ultimate in spatial magic. As a result, no matter how much stuff you store in your chest, you can store it indefinitely without feeling the weight'

Crate SUGAI! It's completely beyond the realm of the chest!

'Finally, unlike the item box, the crate tried to improve on the point that it was bulky. But no matter how hard you try, there's no way the crate can be fat in an item box that doesn't exist as a shape. To mask such a handful, the chest first decided to grow hands and feet'

Why!? Why did you want to grow hands and feet?!? I see no relevance at all!

"A treasure chest with hands and feet has evolved into a high-tech treasure chest with no bulky means of self-defense because it can move on its own and can exercise magic."

That's what I'm talking about...! Awesome indeed! It's awesome... but the direction of the effort is strange!?

'The treasure chest, which allowed me to move and speak, decided to go and sell myself to the humans. But instead of being attacked and the chest accepted by every human being we meet, we have evolved into a completely rejected being. "

It's hard not to say I totally deserve it......!

'The crate of lost hope still seeks to be needed by humans and continues to wander everywhere. One day, like every day I spent with a party that used to use a crate, I felt the warmth of people, in search of a laughable day...'

Here, "Crate Story" was over and the "Crate Lifetime" page.

………………

"That was a dark past..."

I squeal so with a long eye. Though he was abused, I don't think he lived a thick life so far where I was on Earth.

"You had a tough time, too, Mr. Crate."

Salia squeaks in a snug way, too.

I never thought about how it feels to be thrown away, but maybe some of the truncated stuff in the world is still something that can help people.

Even if you don't need it anymore, it can be very creative.

Well, it's not a good idea to simmer in too much stuff that you don't need.

After one concludes, one looks at the crate that would contain the item.

"... a chest from a treasure chest... a matrix."

I get stuck unexpectedly.

When I opened the chest, there was a bag that would have gold in it, and one ring, and it came out.

"Money as you put it in the item box as it is... a ring"

The ring I picked up was embedded with beautiful purple gems.

In the meantime, activate your appraisal skills to confirm the effect.

"The Ring of Unhappiness"...... Epic Gear. Ring with crate thoughtlessness. -2x correction to the luck of the equipper.

"Where's Legend!?"

That's not a good effect at all!? Luckily, a negative correction! If I gear up, I'll be super unhappy!?

I have no idea why I made this equipment epic.

I just can't throw it away because I know the sad past of the crate.

... you just have to not equip it, throw it in the item box.

Treat the ring you will never use in your life and take a breath.

"Phew... in the meantime, you're done collecting them all"

I'll look around, but there doesn't seem to be any leftovers.

"... not if you're taking a break! I need to rendezvous with Mr. Altria."

"But Makichi, if you don't go back the way you came, it's the end of the line, right?

Sarya was right, the crate and the place she encountered seemed like there was no further way forward and there was going to be a need to turn back once.

"Yes, just know where Mr. Altria is at once."

That way, we can go in that direction, like when we split up.

I removed the "Guiding Stone" from the item box, given to me by Mr. Altria.

But...

"... hey, Salia. Was the guiding stone red?

"Huh? I think it was silver..."

"Right..."

The guiding stone I removed was somehow glowing red and flashing, not silver when Mr. Altria gave it to me.

Sarya also noticed that there was something wrong with the guiding stone I had taken out, and Sarya herself had taken out the guiding stone she had been given.

"Ah, mine too..."

The red light was flashing repeatedly, just like the guiding stone that Sarya gave me.

"This... what do you mean?

It must have been silver at first. That kept flashing the red light as if it was warning something now.

Along with Salia, I don't know why, no matter how much I think about it.

That's when I figured it out.

"That's right! If you appraise this guiding stone, you may know something."

Originally, the effect of the guiding stone was only briefly explained by Mr. Altria. So it's not strange if it has effects you don't know about.

I quickly activated my appraisal skills and found out why.

"Guiding Stone" … The direction in which the owner is located can be seen by passing to others what instilled the owner's magic. When there is imminent danger to the owner, it glows red and informs others of the danger.

"" Altria, come on, ahhhhhhhh!? "

You suck!? Mr. Altria means pinch!? I don't have time to relax!

"Hey... Mr. Altria, where are you going?!? Which direction should I go?!?"

"Wow, I don't know!

Suddenly I'm in a hurry for Mr. Altria's pinch, me and Sarya.

"Oh, yeah! That's the guiding stone of a time like this!

Use the guiding stone to get to Mr. Altria's place immediately.

The guiding stone then floated and hit a nearby wall.

…………

"It was. Oh, my God, oh, my God!

Isn't the guiding stone going to lead us to Mr. Altria's place, just to show us the direction!

He said he made the same mistake first and just confirmed its effect now, but that's all I'm in a hurry for, too.

"CHICKLES WOW! This wall... this wall is ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

I hit the walls of the guiding stone with all my might.

Zdowwwwwwwww!!!

…………

…………

Me and Salia were flabbergasted by what just happened.

Because if I hit the wall with all my strength, the wall disappeared.

…………

"............... Yes?

When I hit the wall, it broke easily...... No, you mean broken... erased?

"Yep... how monstrous am I..."

Too powerful, I get stunned through surprises.

It penetrated the wall in front of me, and even the wall ahead blew up with my fist pressure.

If the walls were so easy to break, you wouldn't have gotten into contact with Mr. Altria from the beginning, would you? Well, if you were beating me up like right now when I was broken up, the damage would go to Mr. Altria......

If you're letting your cheeks pull and you're in mild self-loathing, Salia slaps me in the back.

"Makichi is awesome! Now we can get to Mr. Altria!

"Huh?... ah"

That's right! Sayonara, I wanted to cry over the power of mankind, but now thanks to that power, I can get to Mr. Altria's place! Long live Cheat!

"Salia! I'm going to run as fast as I can, so I can hold you for a second!

"Yeah!"

With Salia and my status, my acumen is overwhelmingly higher.

So I decided to hold Salia, activate the skill 'momenta' as it were, and travel to Mr. Altria's place.

There are as many ways as you can hold her, but quickly you can hold Salia in the form of a princess hug.

... I didn't think I'd get a chance to hold a princess... You don't know what's going to happen in life. Well, I don't think living normally would give a princess a hug.

"Well, hold on tight... Me too, I've never run as fast as I can, so I don't know what speed I'm going to get."

"Okay!

When I heard Salia's reply, I activated the skill 'Moment'.

Moment after moment, me and Salia disappeared...

◆ ◇ ◆

"Ugh..."

Ole - - Altria Grem had fallen to the ground with no strength, still bloody painted.

"... you were a horrible little girl..."

The dragon looks down at me like that.

No... it was...

My full strength did not lead to the dragon in front of me.

As if to prove it, there is no scratch on the dragon.

"I didn't know there was someone in the world who would surprise me so far... I've lived for years, but I still don't know what's going to happen."

The dragon is saying something, but it's not coming into my ear.

It's time to stay conscious.

The bones will be broken and the guts will be crushed too, considering they are spitting blood.

I was going to storm around with all my might and bring Makoto back safely at all costs......

"... haha... haha..."

Blurred vision and his own rough breathing ears, I was in tears when I realized.

I've been unhappy ever since I was born, and I've been trying not to get around because of my physique.

He also gained strength to cope with the calamity he calls upon.

Yet I wasn't strong enough......

In retrospect, how many times have I laughed in the short time I spent with Makoto?

For a long time, I kept making people unhappy, smiling I'd forgotten...

I'm really glad I took on those two exam directors now.

I was able to remember the emotions I'd forgotten.

That's why I regretted and wept that I couldn't bring those two back safely because of my lack of strength.

I can't even save it by involving others.

In the end, I'm a disaster.

'Anyway, you're finally grown up. Now, don't hesitate to eat'

The dragon's giant wax slowly approached me.

My body's not moving any more.

Makichi... Salia... no evil.

"Get you guys... caught up in my misfortune -"

That word that came out of my mouth by accident.

It was when I gave up everything and closed my tearful eyes.

- - - - Wong............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

- - - Wong..................

- - Wong...

- Wow!

'... hmm? What...?

Suddenly, a sound similar to the ground sounded gradually louder, echoing across one side of the room.

If you notice, the room starts to vibrate loudly and many pebbles fall from the ceiling.

'hey what the heck!? what's going on!?'

The dragon was also upset by the unpredictability.

While listening to the voice of such a dragon, in the sight of Kasumi, I did see.

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

...... WOOOOOOOO ON!!!!

The door I used to get in...

Zdowwwwwwwwww!!

- Give me a sight to erase.

"And that the door blew up ohhhh!? What the hell - heh!?"

The words of the dragon did not last.

Because from the direction of the door that disappeared, a flash... something hit the dragon as much as I wanted.

The dragon giant was blowing up incredibly big and crashing against the wall.

And who hit the dragon -.

"Too fast to stop......! But thanks to you for hitting something, we could stop!

"Hey Makichi. That bump was a creature, wasn't it? I heard you, didn't I?

"Oh, seriously!? I don't know who... smitten!... All right. I apologized, and you're okay. Yeah."

It was Salia being held by the princess and Makoto holding it.

◆ ◇ ◆

I, Shu Chengichi, was in a deep hurry.

No... 'cause I didn't think I'd get that fast...

'Cause if you notice, you're in a place I don't know at all. Oh, mystery!

No, but I seriously freaked out without joking.

Measuring, how fast am I?

Besides, Salia says it was some creature that stopped the brake from hanging itself.

... bumped into you at great speed, but you're alive, aren't you?... No, I know it's a real escape.

With that in mind, Salia realizes something and shouts a surprise.

"Ah!"

"What's up?

"Is that... Mr. Altria!?"

!?

Turning his gaze in the direction Sarya pointed out, there was blood everywhere and the figure of Mr. Altria lying there.

"Mr. Altria!

I rushed over to Mr. Altria.

Then, Mr. Altria says, in a weak voice.

"Haha...... no evil. Makoto, Salia...... Safe... I was going to give you back..."

Neither I nor Salia will say anything to Mr. Altria without power.

How friendly is this guy to others...

"Makichi! First, give me Mr. Altria's wound!

"Oh!"

When I was able to hold Mr. Altria, I took the finest healing pills out of the item box.

And that was when I tried to get Mr. Altria to drink it.

"Eh! Makichi, behind you!

"Huh?"

When I heard Salia scream and immediately turned around, a scorching flame was imminent in front of me.

Suddenly, despite the activation of my unique skill, 'Heart-Eye', I couldn't turn my head on how to deal with it.

Sarya is already surprised to see me in a flameless position and open her eyes to see if she thought I would avoid it too.

"Makichi!?"

I could hear Salia's sad voice, but more than that, I turned my back to the flames to protect Mr. Altria in front of me reflexively, and held Mr. Altria in a cover.

And I got fireworks on my back.

A great deal of enthusiasm surrounds me and Mr. Altria.

Feeling the unusual fever on my back, I drugged Mr. Altria to relieve the burden a little.

When he finished drinking it all, Mr. Altria was able to speak more than just now, but still screams in a weak voice.

"Stupid...... bastard. Why... I can't avoid it...!

It wasn't inevitable, it was inevitable.

Because the skill 'Heart-Eye' is also activated, but the head turns white.

The primary reason my head turned white would be that I hadn't stepped on as many occasions as I could handle a sudden attack.

This alone tells me I'm immature.

Still, Mr. Altria's body moved reflexively that he had to protect...

To what Mr. Altria said, I had to laugh bitterly under the hood.

But I'm not going to keep you under attack forever.

I still can't make a good decision, but I can take as much action as I want.

Though the wound has recovered, his temper has not recovered, Mr. Altria.

With Mr. Altria in my arms, I traveled one foot to where Sarya was.

"Makichi!

Salia rushes over screaming.

When I gave Mr. Altria to Salia, I put Mr. Altria to sleep in a remote position.

"Makichi is okay!? It's on fire!?"

"You're handsome, aren't you?

"Yeah, let's heat it up!

……

Well, I guess so.

More importantly, even though I was in all that firework, given that only the robes were burning and the clothes were not burning, I guess the robes prepared by the sheep had been granted some effect I didn't know. I told you I wasn't being granted any effect.

Anyway, you must have made me think it was a robe with no effect and enjoyed watching my reaction.

But that robe is apparently not working either.

Because I could see the ends of the robe gradually burning and becoming ashes.

It activated the skill 'Absorb' and tried to inhale the flame of the robe, but for some reason it could not be absorbed.

Besides, I can't adjust my power to extinguish the fire by using it on myself with the magic of the water attribute, not very much now, but not on me. That doesn't make me self-destructive or stylish.

Fortunately, the robe is only burning, so I took off the robe and finally freed myself from the flames.

"... Makichi...?

Behind you, I hear Mr. Altria groaning.

Probably saw my dark hair dewy by taking off my robe and thought of something.

Turning her gaze behind her back, Mr. Altria seemed to have fainted by squealing a word she had just said.

"Salia, ask for Mr. Altria's help."

"Okay! Good luck, Seiichi!

"Ooh."

With Salia cheering, I turned to my flaming opponent.

There was a giant dragon, dressed in pitch-black scales.

He is staring at this one with red eyes and spraying burning heat from his mouth.

"You humans... will you get in my way again...!

Apparently, you're angry with us. Why. Me, did I do something? Besides, 'again'... what? Is this the second time you've been interrupted? Don Mai.

However, I think it was this dragon that hurt Mr. Altria, too.

The words make sense, but the discussion would be pointless.

'Forgive me... I will never forgive you! Don't think you can go home alive, human......!

See?

Sighing inside, I pulled out [Hate Swirling Fine Sword (Black)] and [Merciful Fine Sword (White)].

"Well... then we'll take you down and we'll all go home...!

And at the same time as I proclaimed that, I ran out of the spot.

As Mr. Altria fought for us, now it's my turn to fight for Mr. Altria.

To get us all home...
