Chapter 118 – 118.Last Member (5)
After arriving at the mud goblin habitat.
After putting the carriage back in and tying the horses to the tree as usual, the Portis group walked towards where the mud goblins were.
And even while moving, Lucas was impressed by the natural behavior of the Fortis Group.
Protection department.
The Shu family is famous within the Academy, and the protection department used by the Shu family is also well known.
As soon as he entered the forest, Lucas was surprised and questioned by the action of opening the protective gear.
‘Why are they already deploying the protection department?’
The question was immediately resolved.
Lucas also acted with the party while taking on a monster subjugation request.
Also, I once faced a monster in the forest, and the only minor inconvenience I experienced was the twigs and grass from trees scratching or sticking to my clothes.
However, if you open the protection part, there is no need to worry.
There was no inconvenience in passing as the protective part naturally prevented twigs and grass from getting on the body.
‘I never thought I’d use the protection part like this. I guess this is because I have a lot of experience, right?’
Although it was an action to eliminate minor inconveniences, Lucas, who was full of motivation and expectations, felt that even such actions were great, giving them meaning.
-Kieek!
-Kikekekekeom!
The party found four mud goblins.
“That’s a mud goblin…” “It’s really covered in mud.”
“With my protection, I don’t have to worry about getting mud on it! Ohhohohohoho!”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
I never thought I wouldn’t have to worry about getting mud on it.
Lucas was purely amazed.
“Lucas, since your opponent is only Mud Goblins, there will be no need for continuous recovery. Could you use a skill that increases power first?”
“I understand!”
Lucas used skills while raising his divine power.
“Power Light!”
Lucas’ divine power was sublimated into a skill, and a blessing composed of divine power enveloped the entire party.
“Lucas, how long does the power light last?”
“About thirty seconds.”
“Is duplication possible?”
“Duplicate? Uh, I don’t know because I haven’t tested it.”
“I see. Check the power of Atsubal.”
“Heh, then where…” “Take my lightning!”
Atsubal launched a basic attack at the Mud Goblin.
It’s so bad!
-Kigegegeong!
A mud goblin that was attacked by Atsubal fell to the ground, trembling.
“You won’t die in one hit. The power has become stronger, but it is weaker than the blessing of the mountain!”
“Do not compare with the five wills of the Raden royal family.”
-Kigegegeong!
The remaining Mud Goblins, who realized there was a group attacking them, rushed towards the Fortis group.
“Lucas, please power light one more time.”
“Yes, yes! Power light!”
Since he had only experienced battles so far where there was no need to use power-increasing skills in duplicate, Lucas was doubtful about how effective it would be even if he used duplicate skills.
But the hero of Raden is no one else.
I obediently followed what Sihan, the manager of Fortis Group, said.
“Atsubal.”
“I know! Take it!”
It’s a joke!
Atsubal’s basic attack flew again towards the rushing Mud Goblin and hit.
-Gyaggyaggya!
Unlike the goblin hit the first time, one mud goblin hit by Atsubal’s attack collapsed and did not move the moment it was hit.
“Pamela.”
“Vine of obsession!”
As the vine of tenacity activated at Sihan’s signal captured the remaining two mud goblins, Sihan asked Atsval.
“How was it?”
“The power has definitely increased since it has been applied twice. If you receive it about 5 times in a row, the power will increase by the amount of blessings.”
“I see.”
“The royal family of Raden’s secret is as good as sacred skill number 5…”
“Rather, this blessing increases the power of not only skills but also basic attacks, so it is more convenient.”
“What, what!?”
The blessing of recording definitely increases the power of the skill.
Because it is not a skill that increases basic attack, its convenience is different from Lucas’ skill.
Unlike Adelia, who was shocked, Lucas was happy to find the possibility that he could be more helpful to Portis.
But at the same time, I realized my own shortcomings.
“Hey… I guess if you use it 5 times in a row, you won’t be able to use other skills for a while.”
Unlike magical power, divine power cannot be recovered through potions, so to recover, one had no choice but to rely on natural recovery.
At Lucas’s words, Adelia exhaled, feeling a little relieved.
“I guess so. The priest’s auxiliary skills use divine power, not magical power.”
“Don’t worry, this was just an experiment to see if there would be overlap or not. I wasn’t asking you to always use skills over and over again.”
“I see.”
“Hey, everyone. The vine of obsession is slowly disappearing.”
“I’ll handle it, Pamela! Yay!”
Pubbung! The talisman that Yeonhwa flew flew towards the Mud Goblins and exploded, killing the remaining Mud Goblins.
“Wow! It’s a bit refreshing to send away a mud goblin with just one talisman!”
“Yeonhwa, isn’t it more refreshing to have the increased skill with the blessing of the mountain?”
“Adelia, the Blessing of the Ascendant is refreshing enough, so please don’t compete with something like this. It is specialized for increasing skill power, but when it comes to sustainability and increasing power, the Blessing of the Ascendant is far superior.”
“Keu, keum. That’s true too.”
Adelia feels a bit of competition and a sense of crisis upon the appearance of the attack power increase skill used by Lucas.
Meanwhile, Lucas did not burn his ambition to usurp Adelia’s position or to make his presence her stronger.
Rather, his interest his his her lay somewhere else entirely.
‘Woah, everyone is strong as expected.’
In the basic attack power itself, Lucas could clearly feel the difference between other parties and the Fortis group.
Even though they call it a mud goblin, it is definitely a monster.
Using a skill, he could be eliminated in one go, but no matter how much his power was strengthened by his blessing, defeating it so easily with an ordinary attack was beyond Lucas’ expectations.
It is so strong that it is as strong as being knocked down with a single attack rather than a skill that has been strengthened once, and can be completely defeated with two reinforcements.
Moreover, not only the attack, but also the binding power of Pamela’s tenacity was an amazing force to Lucas.
That’s why Lucas was rather anxious.
‘Will I be able to get noticed by these people with my skills? Shouldn’t we show something more special? But I don’t have that special power…’
Sihan spoke to Lucas.
“Lucas.”
“Yes, yes! What is it, Mr. Sheehan?”
“Next time, we will assist you, so you can catch the mud goblin.”
“Do you mean me?”
Catching the mud goblin itself is no problem.
Lucas wasn’t so servile as to think that his skills were inferior.
However, compared to the Fortis group, he could definitely defeat the Mud Goblin only by using skills.
Sihan seemed to have sensed Lucas’ feelings and said as he placed his hand on Lucas’ shoulder.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. As a priest, I do not want strong attacks like Atsubal or Yeonhwa. I just want to check how powerful the attack methods you can currently use are.”
‘Mr. Sihan, I see everything.’
I felt a bit of shame at having my feelings revealed, but at the same time, I was impressed that a person who knows the feelings of others like this is truly a leader.
‘This is a leader praised as a hero…!’
“I’ll do my best!”
“Okay.”
After walking for a few more minutes, Portis and his group found a group of mud goblins again.
“That’s it. Attack first. After basic attack, use skill.”
“Yes!”
Lucas stepped forward and swung the priest staff he was holding with magical energy.
“Ha!”
When he swung the staff, a magic crystal from the tip of the staff flew towards the mud goblin and hit its head.
-Loud!
The Mud Goblin didn’t fall down as if it didn’t have enough attack power even if it was hit directly to the head, and looked in the direction where the attack came from with anger.
“Ugh!”
“Don’t be discouraged, use your skills this time. We have protection, so you won’t get hurt.”
“Yes!”
Raising his divine power and magical power, Lucas used the only attack skill he could use.
“Shining Ray!”
When I pointed the staff at the target, light shot out from the tip of the staff.
The light flew straight and hit the shoulder of a different entity than the mud goblin that was first attacked.
There was a harsh, burning sound.
-Wow!
The mud goblin screamed in pain and twisted her body to avoid the attack.
The Mud Goblin’s shoulder was not pierced and the hot thing scorched her skin.
‘Oh, I didn’t strengthen it!’
If the power light had been used, it would definitely pierce her shoulder and inflicted a fatal wound.
However, as Sihan said, I used the skill right after the basic attack.
Only the power of pure, unenhanced skills was demonstrated.
Lucas became more aware of the gap in skill between himself and the other Fortis members and felt relatively embarrassed by his still immature skills.
“This is such power.”
“I’m sorry. Is this unsightly power?”
“Huh? Why are you saying that?”
“Compared to others, the power of my skills is…”
“It is natural that your Hillani attack is weaker than other members. There is no need to be intimidated. If that continues to bother you, just get stronger in the future. Or, you can get help from your colleagues.”
“Ah…”
Lucas’s respect for Sihan grew as he watched Sihan, who did not express disappointment by comparing himself to other members, but instead genuinely thought about the future and gave advice.
“Vine of obsession!”
While Lucas and Sheehan were talking, Pamela restrained a group of mud goblins that were running close by.
“Thank you, Pamela.”
“Oh, no! Turn off the conversation, is it over?”
“Yes. Lucas, try attacking again with our assistance this time. Adelia, please.”
“I understand. The power of the five wills passed down through the Raden royal family! Experience it for yourself, Lucas! The blessing of collecting!”
Sihan smiled in his heart as he looked at the magic circle unfolding around Adelia.
‘Come on, Lucas. Try the taste of dilppong. Once you taste it, you won’t be able to get rid of it.’
