Chapter 82: Inherited
New Abnormal State Skills.
So, they were unlocked huh… However, I will postpone checking its detailed information for later. I should first make sure that I’ve properly gotten rid of the Black Dragon Knights. I should be able to finish this with just my previous skills’ semi-infinite combo.
[————]
Wait a sec… I just thought of something. This should be worth trying out… It’s possible that it would be effective in getting rid of these people. I don’t know when I could meet someone that I could experiment on after all.
[Seras.] [—Y- Yes?] [If Oban attacks, can I ask you to deal with him?] [Ah— I- I understand.]
She didn’t ask for any details nor reason. Seras must still be feeling thankful. I started moving my protrusions. For the second time, I extended my protrusion towards Oban who is still breathing. There were barely any amount left in the earlier paralysis gauge.
[]
Oban’s body began convulsing violently.
Doddodddodddodddooo—!
[Guuggguuuuaaaaaahhhh….!]
Oban raised out a short scream. His voice sounded like it’s corrupted with anger. If he were to forcibly move while he’s paralyzed, he would receive a lot of damage. I don’t know if my plan would work as I had expected but…
Bushhuuu!
It came. Oban began spouting blood. The new skill, . It’s probably a skill that increases the urge for violence on my target. Urge for violence. State of paralysis. These two works in a combo. The target would try to move because he can’t suppress the urge for violence within himself. As a result, he would take a lot of damage due to the effect of paralysis. This combo might even kill the paralyzed enemy faster than my poison…
This time, I brought my protrusion closer towards Schweiz. Making my protrusion approach them is relatively safer. I could avoid surprise attacks that they could be making while trying to act as if they can’t move. Schweiz’s paralysis gauge has been depleted. I invoked paralysis towards him again. I also cancelled the effect of . Now, Schweiz should just be paralyzed. Perhaps, this experiment with my skills is something that needs to happen.

Schweiz opens his eyes.
[…Ughhh… Nggh!? Wha…. Night…? It’s… different!? My sense of sight… my eyes… my eyes—]
It’s a skill that shuts their field of vision into darkness huh… It seems to be quite useful when I don’t want someone to see my appearance. Depending on the range of this skill, I might be able to use this separately from which has a short distance.
[Guugggoogggaaahhhhh…!] [Nnngggguuuhhhh….—!?]
The two members of the Five Dragon Warriors were groaning in pain from the effect of the poison.
Oban tried to kill Seras for the money he would receive.
Schweiz tried to make Seras the plaything of his colleagues and subordinates.
Even if I were to use them as my lab rats, I wouldn’t be bothered.
I’m not the same as back then.
[Well then…]
The only one left now is , thought it should be the same as what I imagined—
[—What the?]
I checked the status display. The numerical value of MP was rapidly decreasing. It would be troubling if this keeps going and my MP becomes zero. I looked towards Seras and look at her current situation. It seems that she was looking at the knights that were scattered about on the ground with a stiff expression on her face. It doesn’t look like she looked at something upon noticing something pop out. As I thought, this status display is only visible to me huh…
[Release the effect, Pigimaru.] [Pii.]
I could feel the “roots” drawing away from both of my eyes. Let’s see… Should I leave the remaining skill that I haven’t used yet for later? It would be troubling if it’s one of those types where it could interfere with the poison, putting aside checking it out when the target is paralyzed or asleep. Freezing them might even slightly interfere… Isn’t this just the same with the others as it takes away the target’s ability to move? Fortunately, I still have other abilities that could incapacitate others like paralyze and sleep. I want to be certain with its effect right now.
I could see the previous people groaning out their death throes.
[Gguuuueeehhhh….]
The black dragons of the Five Dragon Warriors have died. Soon after, Civit’s white dragon had also died too.
[Giiieeeehhhh—]
→ Lv 1796>
As expected of the dragon that’s the mount of “The Humanity’s Strongest” himself. It seems that he had given me quite a lot of experience. I think it’s quite regrettable though that we could only get the experience points from monsters.
However, my MP is now completely recovered with this level-up. At this point, I’m no longer troubled with my MP. The other dragon knights were also dying one after another… Majority of them have died while they were sleeping.
[It’s as if they’re literally sleeping for eternity.] [That’s quite a dreadful power, isn’t it?] [Hmm?]
Seras spoke to me.
[I was really surprised about your plan of deceiving Civit… I was also surprised when you combined bodies with Pigimaru-dono just now.]
The tone in which she spoke seems to be quite composed. However, I could still hear some disturbance within her voice. She may still be a bit absentminded after what she had learnt. I quickly checked my surroundings.
[………………]
It should be fine if I speak with Seras for a bit. I have something to talk about with her. I can’t just talk about things while we’re in the middle of battle. I want to quickly leave this place very much, but… I still can’t leave this place. It’s because I want to make sure that all of the enemies in this place will die.
[That previous ability I’ve used just now takes some time to activate, and it also uses up a ridiculous amount of magic energy. There are numerous restrictions if I want to use that ability.]
It’s just my MP that was higher than the other values in my status. The cost of the power I’ve used just now would have been severe if my MP weren’t abundant enough. Although it was still the status of an E-Rank Hero, it still helps that my status is something that could barely be called a Magic User-type (?) of status.
[Umm… That power that Pigimaru-dono used, is that also because of the power of a Hero from Another World?]
Seras asks hesitatingly. I told about her before that she shouldn’t step into my circumstances. Is she still worried because of the conditions I mentioned before? If that’s the case, she really filled with integrity.
[The power of a Hero from Another World huh…]
The Monster Enhancer. The method of manufacturing this was written in the “Encyclopedia on the Forbidden Arts”. The one who wrote that was a Hero from Another World. He was generally known as the Dark Hero. He was also known as the Great Sage Anglin.
[Perhaps.]
I felt the cloth of the robe that I’m wearing.
[It may be possible to say that’s indeed the case.]
