The fact that when the four people with negative skills got together, they had some kind of synergy and had the strongest party.

"What, ah, you...... were listening to me??

"I was listening! In time, please! Party with us!

"You know... I told you. I'm not the one who should throw a party. Because of my negative skills, if the swordsmen there start to hesitate to kill, you could be in danger, too, right? Even I have trouble losing my avant-garde."

"That's... no! Only now, then! Just for a little while, could you throw a party to try? Just now, to try, is!

"Hmmm... then... ok. Just for a little while."

in the flow.

Melina, the magician, is going to throw a party with us.

I checked the status changes before and after registering for the party, but I was really surprised that all the numbers were up 10%.

It's a really powerful skill if this is all you have... but that's not convenient.

So.

We're just leaving Safe Point right now, walking around looking for monsters.

"... So what is this about to do now?

In response to Melina's question, Cocor answers as he looks around at Kyoro Kyoro and his surroundings.

"At this party, I want to take down the monster once. Anyone who kills, so please, Mr. Alvin, at that time."

"Oh, okay"

I honestly nod because I had some imagination about Cocor's intentions.

"... uh. Maybe you want to take your level up? If you do have my skills, a priest will get a kill bonus. It's just... I think it would be more efficient to knock yourself out with a little more assistance, because even a threesome party would be halfway there."

"No, I'm not."

Cocor shakes his head to the side.

"I do not need leveling. Besides, maybe... I don't think I'll get a kill bonus."

……

While I was saying this, a monster appeared in the direction of progress.

Tentacle Plant, a botanical monster with a blossoming head and tentacles.

"Fine. Leave it to me."

Melina stopped me trying to run out.

――― ――――――

And the chant begins.

It was a faster, smoother chant than a cocol.

I can't simply compare them because of their different roles as clerics, but they seem to have equivalent strength, at least as a magic guard.

Then a fireball is created from the cane erected by Melina and flies.

It hit the tentacle plant and immediately dispersed its body.

"A blow? Wow."

"This is what happens when you poke at the weakness attribute. There are still [38] levels."

"... right"

The level itself is, of course, lower than mine.

But I could imagine that a wizard unsuitable for solo had considerable difficulty getting to the level so far.

"Oh, um..."

Cocor calls from behind.

"What attributes can Melina use?

"I remember all the spells that the main one uses are the five attributes and the Level [38] Wizard can use. And then there's some other useful stuff, I guess."

"What, so much!?

Cocor shouts his surprise.

"Is it amazing?

"Yes...... Unlike the clergyman, there are so many spells that can be used… to such an extent that I can't remember. So normally as I get to the level, I narrow down the performance of the wand, the skills I have, and then the attributes I use because I like or dislike individuals..."

Speaking of which, the party leader Mage, who kicked me out, also used only three attributes, even though the level was much lower.

Melina says with a bitter smile.

"Whether you're lucky or not, I have five attribute enhancement skills. You didn't like to create skills in death, and you learned the spell desperately. Besides, the best way for a magician to do it solo is to start poking at the monster's weakness attributes."

I'm joking and I'm telling you, how hard that must have been.

The spells used by magicians like magicians and clerics are not like skills.

It is similar to the occasional [swordsmanship] and [mastery] skills that avant-garde positions have in terms of more moves that can be used with increased levels.

But the decisive difference is that magic can never be used on its own like a skill, and you have to learn the spell yourself.

There's no point in the content of the spell, it's just a line of sounds.

Remember that, pronounce it correctly, and chant it as fast as possible is difficult without considerable repetitive practice.

It's a magic job protected by the avant-garde and seemingly easy to exercise, but I knew the reality was that it was such a tough profession.

In Melina's case, that's five attributes.

"Oh, well, more than that..."

And here Cocor suddenly changed the subject.

"Um... Melina. Is Melina's skill debuff this... The Curse of the Jealous God?

"Yeah, that's right. Did you see the status? Don't you have a melted heart mark icon on you at my place? STR (muscle strength) and VIT (endurance) numbers should also be down by 3%."

……

Simple statuses such as party member levels, skills, status anomalies, buffs, debuffs, and remaining HP can be checked from your status screen. It's one of the benefits of having a party.

Melina must have thought that Cocor saw it.

However, that's probably not true.

Hey, Melina puts her neck up.

"Is that it? But earlier, it seemed like there wasn't a grant performance..."

"... for once. One more fight, let's go. Well, that should make it clear."

Cocor told him with an excited, trembling voice.
