Chapter 57: A New Skill?

I still cannot believe the power that Rebellious monsters can put out. I am still thinking about the attack made by Sorzan just about an hour ago. Its skill hit the fort, blowing it up and leaving nothing behind other than dust. Then Sorzan's attack hit, and then a big cloud of dirt shot up. I wonder if the foundation of the fort was destroyed. If not, why did a lot of dirt get blown high in the air?

Exhaustion washes over me once more. There must have been monsters lurking in a basement or some hidden corner. I've gained a significant number of stat points, though not as many as I could have if I had used Snarled Devil Kalakaki. My skill allows me to absorb slain monster stats, and I've accumulated a total of 30 more stat points, with 2 in wisdom.

I must be cautious not to overexert myself. Any more stat points, and I risk becoming bedridden. Rapid strength gains can be a double-edged sword, causing physical discomfort as the body adapts.

To prevent an unwanted surge in my stats, I find myself on a stretcher, being carried by the two young monsters, Kazuto and Kanazawa. We're making our way back to my city, where I need to discuss the impending demonic beast war with my father. They may be already aware, and I've been oblivious, engrossed in my own battles.

No, I was also contributing by killing beasts and destroying forts. Not only that, I was able to increase my stats. I wasn't messing around at all. I should not be taken lightly; I am growing my strength immensely.

"You also have me remember." The Type 56 weapon said, popping out of my arsenal. Can it do that willingly? I hope this doesn't happen a lot. I would hate it if he pops up into existence at bad times. It will be rough for me to explain what the hell it is.

"Don't be mean; remember, anything you speak, I can hear. You damn pervert." The Type 56 said.

I forgot it hears everything I said—even the thoughts of Luna and Fu Xien. I also thought about Rita and Kul, but I have to stop thinking about them. Happy, non-lewd thoughts, and they are lewd again.

"You must have missed that cultivation girl. Your thoughts of hers are hyper-sexualized. If you don't get to see her again, you might get the soft disease." The Type 56 said.

Of course, I miss her. She is a cutie and a girl who has a lot of my preferences. I need even more strength than what I have now. Once we find her, I will rescue her. I need to be in tip-top shape.

"If you need power, I will help, but it comes at a cost. I will allow you to use a higher fraction percentage of my strength. I request that whenever you use that power to kill the thing you are using it on. Allow me to absorb the thing that was destroyed." The Type 56 said.

What the hell do you mean your request is to absorb the thing I kill with this power you are talking about? Do you absorb dead things? Where is your mouth? Do you even shit? I wonder how a weapon would crap.

"Can you not ask stupid questions? I am a weapon; I do not defecate at all. Yes, all weapons absorb things when they gain consciousness. Where I absorb things is simple: the point of the bayonet and the end of the barrel." The Type 56 said.

I guess that is alright. If you think I would need it then let me know what I need to do to use it. I am fine with your terms.

"Good, but I will tell you in the heat of battle. This way, you will be able to listen and follow directions better. For now, all I can say is buy an excessive amount of ammo, regardless of where they may be in your nation. They will come to you," The Type 56 said.

I have a bad feeling about that. Regardless, I need to rest and get ready to enter Decomia's capital. Once I am there, I will have to deal with people. Both happy people and mad people.
