631 Level Check

I take a look at treant and Aros levels to check how much experience they got from the origin matter. Treant has risen fromLv: 91/130toLv: 99/130, and Aro has risen from Lv: 94/130toLv: 97/130.

When I tell them, treant starts hopping around in joy.

I-I need to try harder too

Aros expression is a little complicated, perhaps concerned that shes suddenly been overtaken.

I did it! Master-dono, I finally passed Aro-donos level! Atlach-dono will surely look at me in a new light now!

Aro has a super complicated expression just now, so please stop emphasising that. I signal to him with my eyes, and his body stiffens as he turns to look at her. Im sure hes just celebrating and doesnt mean anything bad by it.

Still, I never thought that he would one day outlevel Aro. His current species as a world treant seems to be insanely strong for an rank.

No, well, hes still lacking in terms of active attacks. He can probably never chase down an enemy thats running away. Ive already see how much of a flaw a lack of attacks is by watching his growth up to now.

As a walpurgis, Aro is better at hunting a lot of monsters, and at winning in one-on-one combat. But, even though its difficult for him to become the main fighter, his minuses as a world treant are completely compensated for by fighting as a group.

Thats why he was able to gain a so much of the experience from the origin matter. To be sure, his ability to absorb a hit meant for me and then reflect it back with [Fairy Hex] was a huge help. Of course, Aros damage contribution was helpful too, but the one who did more in the fight was no doubt treant.

For that matter, his level should be really slow to raise now that its in the 90s, but it still went up by a lot. Of course, my [Demon Lords Favour] skill is doubling the amount of experience they get, so Aro and treant are levelling much faster than most monsters.

It also just goes to show how much experience the origin matter gave. The amount I just received was 77,000, which was more than the ruins 42,000 and Lilixiras 59,000. Considering that Aro and treant also got a portion, the original experience amount must have been over 100,000.

After all, even in this world overflowing with Legendaries, the origin matter was probably particularly strong. The experience from the ruin and Lilixira was probably reduced by them being in a weakened state after losing their divine skills, but the origin matters amount was still incredibly high. Once again, I realise just how powerful it was.

Master-dono, please watch! At this rate Ill soon reach Legendary rank too!

H-hmm It might better if you didnt

W-why!? I want to be able to fight by your side, master-dono!

Treant flaps his wings.

Hah, Im jealous of your cute subordinates. Mine all were sharper in personality and appearance. Well, they were all good kids deep down.

Miia touches a hand to her lips and laughs. I find myself staring at her closely. It could just be that Im prejudiced against her, but I cant help but see her expression as artificial.

Whats wrong, Irushia?

N-no, its nothing.

Hm? Okay then.

I dont really want to talk about her subordinates. Its creepy how little she seems to care that I killed them. I would be much more at ease if she seemed slightly torn up about it. At the same time, Im on edge worried about whether something I could say would throw her into a fit of rage.

Youre treant-kun, right? Ill explain. Only divine skill holders can evolve to become Legendary. Its unusual to be able to evolve as an rank, but even if you do evolve, youll only become a different monster of the same rank.

ah, is that so?

Treant sags down in disappointment.

Well, thats not to say you shouldnt evolve. Your skill levels will rise, and your stats will probably increase too. Though your level will be reset, so it might not be worth it. Especially not when were so limited on time

I see

As expected, Miia seems to know more about this than I do. It goes to show how much she learnt from seriously trying to fight against Gods Voice three times over.

Its not that there arent any special exceptions, but even if you somehow forcefully evolve to Legendary, youd get the God of Destruction status condition. Once that happens, theres no saving you. Your maximum HP would gradually fall as your body is worn down. You should bear that in mind.

Treant gulps and nods his head. So she knows about God of Destruction Did it happen to one of her subordinates? Or was it one of the other divine skill holders of her era?
