Chapter 20
After that, I decided to enchant my [Iron Blade] with Light to make it similar to my [Holy Swords].
[Iron Blade] - (Enchanted: Light)
"A simple sword, blessed with the power of Light."
Deals increased damage to Devils and Undead.
In terms of how strong my new blade is, it's around the same strength as the Holy Swords I can make with [Blade Blacksmith]. The Light properties aren't that amazing, but they're still able to cut through Skeletons with remarkable ease. How well they'll actually hold up against a real Holy Sword? I've got no clue. But I doubt they'll last very long against the real things; my Holy Swords are more like hollow casting than actual blades.
Nonetheless, I now have a weapon I can keep using and store in my Inventory, without having to rely on bringing out my Sacred Gear. It might just give me an edge I need in battle if my opponent is expecting me to use my Sacred Gear, but instead I pull out a weapon from thin air.
Are you monologuing again?
'I was, why?'
Oh no reason, you just do it a lot.
Shrugging, I nod. 'That's true, but it helps keep me motivated to remember how far I've come from being a weak Level 1 with just a plain iron sword.'
Okay!
Just don't forget to grab the chest on your way out.
That would be like, suuuuper~ embarrassing!
She's not wrong, part of grinding out these Dungeons is to pick up the final loot I get at the end.
Perk Unlocked:
[Power's Pull] (Perk)
Increased Affection and Obedience with those lower level than you.
That was the last Dungeon's reward, and while it's not very useful now, it'll be a big reward as I get stronger. I still haven't learned how to get Obedience up yet, but I'm thinking that's just because I haven't had to contest my strength against anyone.
There's no reason for someone to feel any sort of obedience towards me, if I've seemed like nothing more than an ordinary human. Which makes it all the more terrifying that [Humanity] is gone, because I'm just a small fish who's now jumped out of the pond and into the ocean.
As another chest appears, I walk over to open it as my Servants gather into three rows of five and march behind me in perfect sync. They look so badass, and I still look like a dork in my school uniform. Once I finish with grinding out enough levels for Artificer, I'm going to take a stab at enchanting some other clothing to make them at least on part with the uniforms.
Thoughts of better clothing aside, I open up the chest to find a small piece of paper. Taking it out, all there's written on it is a long string of 1's and 0's. Some sort of computer code written in binary?
Item Received:
[Gender-bender Cheat Code] - (System Item)
Allows you to change one person's gender, no matter who they are.
Potentially a very useful item to have, except it's one-time-use and I can't just waste it on someone who I want to mess with. Sure, I could use it on Issei and save myself the trouble of a male protagonist trying to steal all of the attractive women in this Universe, but that feels like such a waste. I can't image he'd be very attractive as a girl, and part of me wants to save this for a rainy day where I can flip a potential enemy into a potential ally/lover.
Do you always think about sex?
'No…not all the time. Sometimes I think about food…'
I can't wait for this body to age up enough that my hormones become less of a problem. It's bad enough that I had to go through it all before, but going through it again while knowing I'm acting like a hormonal teenager is ridiculous.
Whatever, I still have enough time for a few more Dungeon runs before I need to get some sleep; I'll worry about my horniness later.
Taking the time to glance at the scrapes and cuts on my skin that were barely starting to close, I was surprised to find out that the Gamer System came with a very minor form of regeneration. I couldn't exactly heal from anything serious like a missing limb, but small wounds would heal themselves over time.
Which reminds me that I need to level up [Artificer] as quickly as possible, so that I can pick [Potioneer] and start making Healing Potions. My Servants have been working hard to keep me from taking too much damage in the Dungeon, but out in the world I doubt I'm going to be so lucky.
Sora Sakai - Level 18 [2%]
Human - Sacred Gear User
After running through the Dungeon for the fourth and final time, I had to reluctantly call it quits as my entire body protested the thought of picking up my enchanted sword and using it again. Now that I'm nearing the maximum level for Skeletons, the experience I'm getting has dropped down to just 2% for each Skeleton I kill, meaning I have to kill more of them to keep the same leveling pace.
Granted the number of Skeletons in each group has increased, but it's still a slight drop in the time that it's taking to level up.
Taking one last look over my stats, it's a marked improvement from what they were like yesterday.
Leveled Up - Class:
[Class: Summoner] - Lvl. 20 (Novice)
Leveled Up - Skills:
[Observe] (Active) - Lvl. 28 (Apprentice)
[Summon: Servant] (Active) - Lvl. 22 (Novice)
[Sacred Gear: Blade Blacksmith] (Common) - Lvl. 22 (Novice)
[Swordsmanship] (Passive) - Lvl. 26 (Apprentice)
I finally started getting a little more experience in Swordsmanship by taking on two enemies at a time with at least one Servant watching my back in case I screwed up. With it at Apprentice, I can definitely see a marked improvement in my movements with a blade. It's like the Gamer System is downloading muscle memory into my body, improving my natural reactions and motions.
