Chapter 16 : Night Time Rest

I convinced an old couple to allow me to stay in a small shed. It is not a barn but it is four walls that can protect me from the smaller monsters. They did not see my dragon. Apparently, I can make monsters disappear if I pause the use of my Card Caster skill.

It is a skill I can activate and deactivate at my own discretion. That is how they did not see my dragon. When I reactivated my skill, the baby dragon and Hector came into existence again. I allowed the baby dragon to stay with me in the shed. 

He is a cute little dragon that could take a beating from wolves and boars. Though I wouldn't want such a cute dragon to be attacked. Even if he could tank a hit or two I would hate to see him in pain. 

With my body closer to the ground I had to buy a blanket. It was only 100 Sin Points or something like that. So it didn't bother me spending those points for a one time use. What is going to bother me is needing to wake up and drink mana potions. I should drink one now just in case. When I did I felt like I had more energy.

Damn it, I forgot mana depletion leads to tiredness. Since I healed my mana I am no longer tired. I have to try to go to bed or it will hurt me. I hate having to work on 2 or 3 hours of sleep. That was a mistake. I have open eyes looking at the plain orange wall. 

Well the wall isn't originally orange. It is that color because there is a window letting the light from fire into the shed. Barbara wanted to sit by a campfire to simulate a better experience of nightwatch. She said humans in her stories do this when someone is keeping watch. 

It is true. When there is a camp someone is on fire watch. Someone who tends to the fire while warning others of possible oncoming attacks. I don't know why she phrased it like it is a fictional thing to do. Maybe demons don't have enough interactions with humans. They just think a lot of what we do is that of fantasy. 

That is just what I assume. It is hard to say what another race is like based on observations alone. I should get to know more about her race before I assume things. Even if making prejudices is usually correct. It doesn't mean it is always correct. 

"What are your thoughts on my master?" The girl named Barbara asked me, a mere monster. I don't have many opinions on him. He has yet to use many monsters. We share experiences in a way. Before I am summoned I am shown the memories of the other monsters.

All summonings and battles are played instantly in my head to understand the Card Caster. This goes for all other monsters. So to be honest my only opinion on Sephker.

"He is too weak. Even with this so-called Curse System skill. He is too damn weak.The skill is going to corrupt him if he doesn't get stronger." I said to the demon girl.

She took a moment with her eyes closed. She then opened them and spoke up. "I agree. What I can say is that he is stronger than my first summon." 

Our conversation ended because I fell asleep. We had a thirty minute conversation about our master. His skills have increased and Barbara is somehow able to tell. Instead of having great stats. He is focusing on skills. Interesting, it really is. If I were him knowing what I know now. I would use any means to increase my overall status.
