"Why did you name me "Bestia" master?""Well, to me, it sounds feminine and in Spanish it means beast. While I will probably never call you my daughter, I do consider you family. As a Latino, I value family a lot, and I have been separated from mine for months. Most people around here have white skin. As you can see, mine is brown. I am constantly alienated. While I am used to the racism at home, this world"s alienation has been brutal to me. So then, come with me, and let"s fight the world together".
"You should stay in my dungeon until you build up enough forces to build your own dungeon and defend it. After all, she can"t enter human cities".
"Oh yeah, watch this. Bestia, change from Demi mode to Human mode and then touch this...o...b...
"Okay". I stare at ShadowClaw"s face, watching it change from from neutral, to mockery, to disbelieve.
"But...how? How tHE f.u.c.kING s.h.i.t DID THAT ORB READ YOUR DEMON FOLLOWER AS A f.u.c.kING FILTHY HUMAN!?!"
"Same way it reads me as a human. The Demon Lords" biggest mistake is building dungeons. It makes you a sitting duck. An easy to find target. I refuse to do that. I can make demon followers that can pa.s.s off as humans. I will build an elite squad and strike where no Demon Lord has ever struck before. After I do enough damage, I will take over the Summoning Cost Cutter Circle, train my own s.p.a.ce attributed elite demon follower to send me home. I need to do enough damage so that the humans of this world never summon me ever again. So I need to go on a mage hunt. As much as it sucks, I will need to burn down the libraries, ruin the academics, and destroy the summoning mages. That is my new mission. I will need more Transformation Attribute Crystals though to complete this mission. What is the rule for skill scrolls that don"t have an attribute?"
"Uh, well, there is no rule for that. I guess it is up for negotiations".
"Great, what are your physical stats at?"
"The lowest one is at 151. Why?"
"Perfect. I have just the skill scroll for you". I pull out one scroll using my storage magic. "This skill is called Instant Intelligence Booster. People call this skill by a different name though, Sacrificial Mage Attack. This skill will boost your intelligence by 50% for one minute or you use an intelligence based skill, whichever comes first. Most mages will use this skill to learn a high level magic skill and then use it to save the party. The skill comes with one problem though. If you don"t use an intelligence based skill skill within a minute of using the Sacrificial Mage Attack, you die. Even if you do use an intelligence based skill within the time limit, the amount of stamina required to use the skill used after Sacrificial Mage Attack will cost double the amount of stamina. The human mages are idiots, they never train their physical stats, even though all stamina is determined by the physical stats only. The higher their Intelligence Stat, the more of a gla.s.s cannon they become. The last demerit is that even if you survive after using the skill, you can"t use any Intelligence based skills for the next 12 hours. But your Physical Stats are high. Use this skill, you will be able to fuse Attribute Crystals, something you have never done before. As a bonus, surviving using the skill grants a revelation, a random increase in the Intelligence Stat. You are so close to becoming an all rounder. The amount of Intelligence Stat increase will go up as soon when you get that t.i.tle. Soon enough, you will be able to do a triple Attribute Crystal fusion".
"I need that skill! I"ll give you one Attribute Crystal for it".
"Your insane. Five."
"Two".
"Four".
"Three".
"Deal". I take three Transformation Attribute Crystals. Then I hear something in my head.
"To all Demon Lords, I Dragno am being hunted by the humans. It seems that they have perfected their anti-dragon equipment. The non-dragon demon followers may not last very long. Please send back up quickly".
"So Dragno is the Dragon Demon Lord?"
"Yup".
"Well, you can"t go. Your forces have been decimated".
"And who"s fault is that?"
"Anyways, I"m going to go provide a.s.sistance".
"It is only the two of you. How can you help?"
"Sabotage. Duh. You ready for a fight Bestia?"
"Ready when you are!"
"Let"s go!" The survival adventure has ended. Let the first hunt begin.
