As long as morality is willing to slide down, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Murphy was bewildered at the moment.

He was fencing with the Necessary Evil when suddenly a prompt popped up stating, "Subspecies of Humanity: Mountain People Template Information Acquisition +50," nearly causing him to misstrike and get killed by the returning slash of the Necessary Evil.

Thankfully, Sir Murphy was an unadulterated master of swordsmanship, and with a lithe step of shadow, dodged and countered with a beastly strike from the Wolf's Kiss Swordsmanship Skill, forcing the Necessary Evil back and avoiding an unsightly scar on his neck.

"Stop!"

He gestured for the eager Necessary Evil to hold.

The Demon Sword immediately hovered in mid-air, and although it couldn't speak, one could clearly sense its feeling of "not having enough."

Initially, when Murphy had asked Necessary Evil to spar with him, this mischievous creature was clearly reluctant, perhaps thinking bullying Murphy, the easy target, lacked any sense of achievement.
