Chapter 119 – 119.Last Member (6)
“This is the blessing of recording…”
Lucas saw a magic circle spread out on the floor.
A magic circle with a soft blue glow.
A bulletin board installed in front of the Fortis Group office.
It was the same as the pattern in the photo of the Fortis Group in action posted on the bulletin board.
“Lucas. Try using the skill again.”
“Yes!”
Following Sihan’s instructions, Lucas used his only attack skill against the Mud Goblin that Pamela was restraining.
“Shining Ray!”
The moment he used the skill again, Lucas’ eyes widened in surprise at what was happening.
The skill was activated with the same magic and divine power as usual.
However, a much thicker beam of light than usual shot out from the tip of the wand.
The beam of light stretched out and hit the Mud Goblin near the solar plexus.
The beam of light that hit did not just hit the flesh, but passed right through the mud goblin’s body.
“Oh, this can’t be right.”
‘My attack has this kind of power?’
The thickness of the shot was different, and the power was different.
A blow was fired that was much more powerful than what he could strengthen himself.
He is a priest and healer.
Since it is mainly responsible for the party’s recovery and support, it does not need much attack power.
Even so, Lucas was also a man.
Since he also has attack skills, he wanted to defeat the monster with his own strength if possible.
No matter how much Lucas prays to God every day and hopes for peace in the world, there are times when, as a man, he imagines himself as a lineman instead of as a priest.
Lucas also had the delusion that he could defeat evil monsters with each swing of his sword.
However, in reality, the given attack skill was all about breaking the skin of one goblin or strengthening it yourself to make a small hole.
But what has been launched now is a powerful skill that kills monsters in one blow.
Even without the sword, the scene that Lucas had been content with only imagining became reality.
“Uh, uhh. Really in one shot…”
“Heh.”
Adelia snorted proudly at Lucas’ reaction.
“Lucas, try to kill the rest as well.”
“Yes, yes! Shining! Ray!”
Lucas’ attack skill was fired again, strengthened by the influence of the blessing, and he even killed the remaining mud goblins in one blow.
After defeating the remaining goblins, Lucas looked at his staff, his hand trembling.
“This is the skill I used…”
“What do you think, Lucas? Don’t you think our Fortis Group’s assistant is good?”
Lucas couldn’t answer properly and just shook his head up and down.
“It seems like you really like it. What do you think, Lucas? The five will of our Raden royal family!”
“Wow, this is amazing! The skills have been strengthened so much! The royal family’s will is truly amazing!”
“Hmm! That’s a very natural sentiment!”
“Captain! Captain!”
“What is it, Myka?”
“Can I attack now too?”
Maika asks Sihan while wagging his tail her.
It seemed like I was slowly reaching my limit by staying still to check Lucas’ skills and show him the blessings of recording.
“Okay, when the next mud goblin shows up, please.”
“Hey! Lucas!”
“Yes! What is it, Maika?”
“When you find the next mud goblin, give me your blessing! I want to test my enhanced fists!”
“I understand!”
Lucas answered energetically, feeling good after experiencing one monster kill twice through skill enhancement.
After recovering the mud goblin’s magic stone and body, Portis and the others hunted the mud goblin until sunset.
Even just by watching them hunt mud goblins, Lucas felt how strong the Fortis group was.
Atsubal and Yeonhwa defeat the mud goblins with basic attacks, as well as Maika who moves agilely and swings punches and kicks to defeat the mud goblins.
Adelia cuts off the mud goblin’s head with a single sword.
And with her effortless movements, she quickly approaches the monster and kills it with a single stab.
Ease of adventure, increase in power, and inherent strength due to each skill.
Lucas thought that because all of this was accomplished, the Fortis Group was called the heroes who solved Raden’s case.
After returning to Suzar and seeing the magic stones received from the Adventurer’s Guild, I returned to Lucedia.
In Lucedia’s transfer room, Lucas was thinking that he would say goodbye for today.
However, Fortis Group was writing its name on the list again.
“Everyone? “What are you doing?”
“We will first stop by Valendia and then come back. Lucas, you should follow us.”
“Is it Valendia?”
First, Lucas obediently followed Sihan’s instructions, wrote his name on the list, and moved to Valendia.
After arriving in Valendia and on the way to Cats Store, Sheehan explained to Lucas.
“I made a contract with the Cats Company in Valendia. When I caught the corpses of monsters or non-requested monsters beyond a certain level, I agreed to receive discounts and equipment support instead of providing magic stones.”
“A contract with a company or a company.”
Lucas also understands that it will not be easy for an individual to sign a contract with the company itself.
But Lee Si-han did it.
In other words, it was as if the Chamber of Commerce recognized that Lee Si-han was a person who would bring enough profits to warrant signing a contract.
‘Mr. Sihan is such an amazing person!’
Lucas’ respect for Sheehan increased even more.
“Oppa~ Welcome!”
Thanks to the instructions to his employees to contact Fortis Group immediately when they come to Fortis Group, the president of Cats Company arrived right in front of Fortis Group.
Sasha personally came out and welcomed the Fortis Group.
“Huh? Is there someone new here?”
“This is Lucas Pond, who is scheduled to take on the role of healer for the Fortis Group this time.”
“Wow! That’s right! Hello!”
As if welcoming a new customer, Sasha immediately moved in front of Lucas and smiled.
“The president of Cats Company! My name is Sasha!”
“Oh, hello!”
‘This person is the president of Cats Company, leading the company at a young age.’
On the outside, she appears to be a woman in her prime with a pretty appearance, but for some reason, the vibe she gives off makes me feel like she is a resourceful businesswoman.
“Sasha, is there anything suitable for her priest?”
“Of course there is! Shall we go straight to the weapons warehouse?”
“No, let’s finish the exchange first.”
Lucas first went to the dismantling department warehouse with the Fortis Group and saw Sihan taking out the body of the mud goblin caught today and trading it.
I had already seen them even take out the carriage, so now seeing them storing and taking out the monster’s body didn’t really impress me.
However.
“Thank you again today, oppa!”
Suddenly, as soon as the transaction was completed, Lucas was shocked to see Sihan hanging on to him and rubbing his cheeks.
“Uh, huh!?”
‘Why are you hugging me? The president of Cats Company? To Mr. Sheehan? Why?’
Besides himself, the other Fortis members were not shaken at all.
“You’re doing that again.”
“I’ve seen it so many times now that I’m familiar with it.”
“Sasha! I like you, Captain! I like you too! I want to hug you too!”
Pamela stopped Maika by grabbing her arm.
“Hey, Maika! Calm down! Hey, I have strength… ! Adelia! Please help me!”
“Okay.”
Of course, even the employees at Cats Store did not stop Sasha’s antics and instead sighed.
“Boss, you’re doing that again.”
“If you try to stop me anyway, you’ll be upset tomorrow, so just leave it alone.”
“What’s the point of not at least kissing me? It’s a lot better than the first time.”
‘Are you saying this is normal?’
Lucas looked at Sihan again, confused by the reactions of those around him.
Sihan stood still as if nothing was wrong and was receiving Sasha’s cheek rub.
‘I’m not shaken at all. This, too, is the magnanimity of a hero… ?’
This time it was Lucas who was wondering if he would get respect or not.
After completing the transaction, Lucas was guided to the weapons warehouse.
“If it’s equipment suitable for priests… This would be good! Prayer Bracelet! It’s an item that increases the amount of divine power that fills up when you pray!”
“I see.”
Sihan first received the item from Sasha, looked at it intently, and then handed it to Lucas.
“Lucas, kick it.”
“Huh?! Really? But this is a prayer bracelet.”
Lucas knew what a prayer bracelet was.
This is equipment that can be said to be proof of successful priests.
The price is quite high, so if you want to buy it yourself, you have to complete a lot of quests before you can buy it.
The most expensive item that Lucas currently owns is a subspace ring that was given to him by his parents, who were adventurers during their youth.
After entering the academy, Lucas felt that he could not be a burden to his parents, so he received only a subspace ring and said that he did not need any other support.
For Lucas, he thought that the prayer bracelet was too much for him.
“It’s still too early for me!”
“There is no other way to achieve this kind of equipment. The only difference is whether or not you increase your power by using it. Come on.”
Sihan snatched Lucas’ right hand and forcibly put the bracelet on it.
“Ah, ah! No. You can’t do this… !”
Even if Lucas said no, the desire to hug him that remained in the back of his mind made him not actively resist.
A priest’s unique, thin, untrained wrist passed through a silver bracelet.
Lucas gulped and swallowed at the feel of the prayer bracelet on his wrist.
“Pray once and fill up your divine power. You have to experience how good the performance is.”
‘Experience… Okay. SinceMr. Sihan put it in, I should at least try it out.’
Lucas put her hands together and prayed to the Goddess of Creation to fill her with divine power as usual.
Then, a greater amount of divine power than usual.
I consumed divine power today to quickly fill in the still empty space in Lucas’ Anel.
It was giving her a sense of fulfillment, as if her own prayers were being answered by the goddess of her creation.
‘Amazing! This is the effect of the prayer bracelet!’
After finishing her prayer, Lucas opened her eyes.
“It’s… It’s done.”
“So, did your divine power fill up faster than usual?”
“Yes. My stomach filled faster.”
“Good. Shasha, let’s take this this time.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
“Huh?! Mr. Sihan! But I still…”
“Take it.”
Before Lucas could say anything, Sheehan said, putting his hand on Lucas’ shoulder.
“Are you receiving it as a commemoration of joining the Fortis Group?”
“Uh, uh…”
Lucas has not officially joined the Fortis Group yet.
However, Sihan spoke as if the membership had already been decided.
Today’s experience flashed through Lucas’ mind like a flash.
She was hopeful that she could be more helpful.
The power of enhanced skills experienced through the blessing of recording.
Quick replenishment of divine power thanks to the prayer bracelet.
It was a joy that could not easily be forgotten once one had already tasted it.
That’s why Lucas.
“Yes… Thank you… “
I just uttered words of gratitude.
