Chapter 81 – Raising my status a lot. I want to level up.
The skills I can choose are.
Attack Speed LV1 - A skill that increases the speed of my attacks. However, it doesn't affect my magic abilities. I'm already fast, so this would be very useful.
If my enemy can't react to my attack, it's a guaranteed kill!
The second skill is [Baker LV1], which improves my skills in baking cakes and similar things. Honestly, this skill is useless, and I see no reason to choose it.
The third skill is more useful.
Dragon's Breath LV1 - A skill linked to my fire magic. It's a skill that launches a powerful attack similar to a flamethrower. The heat and power of the attack are 200% stronger than regular fire magic.
The problem is that it has a cooldown of two hours, a pretty long cooldown.
'Hmmmm… I really want to focus on my speed, so I should choose [Attack Speed]... But [Dragon's Breath] is really strong. Seriously, what a headache...'
Ah, whatever.
[ The skill "Attack Speed LV1" has been added to your status ]
Attack Speed has a cooldown of just ten minutes, which is excellent. At level one, it increases my attack speed by 50%.
The attack speed will increase by 10% with each level up, with a maximum level of ten.
'Yes, this is great. Now for the points. I'll divide them between strength, agility, and magic.'
30 points to agility, 20 to strength, and 15 to magic. Perfect.
[ Your agility is now 129! ]
[ Your strength is now 117! ]
[ Your magic is now 71! ]
'Yes, this is great. If I multiply by five to match the values of this world, my agility and strength are now above 500!'
I can feel the differences in my body. My muscles are more defined, but the changes aren't that drastic. From now on, the changes will be minimal.
"But will it stay like this until the end? Won't I be able to level up? Will my Status just remain the same?"
I can probably edit my level with the [Falna Editing] skill and fool everyone, but I wanted to REALLY level up… An actual status, like in an RPG, where I can level up.
Sure, I can level up my skills, but I need more...
"System, when will I level up to level two?" I asked.
But the system didn't respond.
"Well, whatever. I'll head out while I wait for Hestia to finish reading the second volume."
####
I went out for a walk around the city to get some fresh air. I left my weapons at home since I wasn't planning on going to the dungeon today. Unfortunately for me, that turned out to be a stupid idea because I need them right now!
And why do I need them? Because I'm about to be attacked.
How did this happen?
While walking through narrow alleys, I encountered a group of men who looked like criminals intimidating a girl. To my surprise, the girl was Lili.
She had her usual large bag with her.
I didn't know what had happened, but I had to help her.
There were five men. Two of them had swords, one had a long spear, one had a bow, and one seemed to use magic. But I don't know what type of magic he uses.
Fortunately, they weren't strong.
I used the skills [Speed LV2] and [Super Strength LV2] to rush toward the sworders.
Gu!!
Aaah!!
I reached them and struck them in the stomach with my bare hands. I heard their ribs crack as they vomited everything they'd eaten before passing out.
Zum!
Then, an arrow past my head. I didn't even need to dodge since his aim was terrible.
I launched fire magic toward the mage and the guy with the bow, hitting them directly. My magic caused a powerful explosion, enough to send them flying.
They passed out instantly.
As for the man with the spear, he started trembling with fear and begging me to let him go, but I didn't allow it and grabbed his neck. He dropped his spear, and I began to choke him.
He started hitting my hand desperately, so I loosened my grip on his neck.
"Are you trying to kill me?! You idiot!" Urggh!
"Speak to me properly. I want to know what you were doing with her. What was your plan?" I turned the man's head towards Lili. Lili was staring at us, frightened. She couldn't comprehend everything that had just happened.
"That bitch stole from us! She ran off with our magic stones the other day! She nearly got us killed!" The man shouted as he looked at Lili with hatred. Tears started to appear in Lili's eyes.
She seemed ashamed of what was happening. She didn't want me to hear any of this.
Well, I already knew everything.
"Oh, so that's it? And what were you planning to do with her?"
"We just wanted to get our money back!"
"You think I believe that?" I glared at the man with anger, releasing my killing intent.
As I did so,
[ New skill acquired! ]
[ The skill "Bloodlust LV1" has been added to your status ]
'Oh?'
"I'm telling the truth! We just wanted our money back; we weren't going to do anything to her!"
"Then why is she hurt?"
"She's not hurt!"
"Of course, she's hurt."
"Urgh!"
I dragged the man closer to Lili.
"See? There's blood on her hands. She's injured."
"We didn't do that!" the man shouted.
"You -"
"Luan, it's okay! Let him go! It's my fault! I stole from them! I'll give everything back, okay? You don't need to hurt them!"
"But they hurt you."
"No, it wasn't them. I got hurt in the dungeon! It wasn't their fault." Tears streamed down Lili's face.
"Alright. But I'm not letting him go so easily."
"Urgh?!"
I tightened my grip on the man's neck and made him pass out. Lili panicked for a moment, but I let him go and made it clear that he wasn't dead. Lili lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with me.
"Lili."
"Yes?"
"We need to talk about the life you've been living."
"..."
I need to sort this out before she gets into more trouble. I must get her out of the Soma Familia and bring her to the Hestia Familia.
