GRIMOIREXREVERSE V1C2Kourii: happy new year!
Well, it has been a busy week( maybe 2 weeks already) with all the exams and stuff. Ugh! What a bad way to end a year. So here we are another grimoire chapter.
PS: I’ll do the Ningyo tmr so expect another chapter coming.
Chapter 2 The Habuil Tower II [Demon Tear]
From then on, I have been hunting some suitable demons. But there is something troubling. It is that the monsters fall in one shot if I use the Demon Slayer.
It has become nothing but a repeat.i.tive game of head-on hit and kill.
I wonder if the heros from the RPG were always doing something like this in various dungeons. I am a little moved to tears. (TL: it said’ his eyes is getting hot ‘ well figures.)
[Gugyyaaa!?]
Well, speaking of working diligently, I was wrapped around by light just then.
In other words, its the effect of the experience points entering my character, just like in the game.
If experience points exist, then so do level.
[Gigyaaa!?]
Anyway, I am expecting that my level will go up when I’d became a demon earnestly weilding the Demon Slayer. (TL: not so sure abt this ‘なもんで’)
Although, I am not particularly aiming for that, what an indescribable composition this is.
I wonder if there is some kind of body buried in this axe.
Saying it like this is probably a little better but- in fact, it could be said to be a very cruel thing.
[Gogyaaa!?]
[Can you only give those screams, huh you guys! !]
Weilding the Demon Slayer, and without moving from there, I earnestly cut down the monsters moving around on the pa.s.sage.
Suddenly I thought of something.
This body is not so easily tired. I have confidence in my stamina as a demon but after all this fighting and there is not even a little fatigue on my arm.
Is it probably the effect of the Demon Slayer?
Or maybe its the work of something else?
[Gegyaa! !]
[….! !]
Finally.
My body, in a moment, was wrapped around by blue and red contrast line of light spiralling around my body. Aka Barber effect. Its the unique effect from Grimoire x Lancer or was called so by the worlds gamers.
Anyhow, I am thankful that my level went up but the status window on the bottom isn’t there.
Perhaps there is some special way to bring that out but after doing that stuff for a while, I don’t have enough energy to try anything.
[……Oh-]
Suddenly, I noticed something lying on the floor where the monster disappeared. Its a drop.
What did it drop? I got a little of “Garde” the currency in this world until a while ago.
[Is it… demons tear?]
There isn’t even some kind of indication.
A rare drop from the demon monsters. The original story is like those in fairy tales but the effect is the opposite.
It temporarily revokes all abnormal status and act as a bottom-up defense magic.
In other words, it covers all of the demons weakness. A doping item.
Or so it is but demons wasn’t supposed to be able to use this in the game but for players, it can only be used for soothing oneself when fighting against opponents who uses magic.
Now that I got it, I don’t even have a bag or anything, and there isn’t even any use for it. Then what should I do with it now?
Thinking up to there, I noticed something.
Thats right, this life’s memory.
The reason I was in a place like this as a boss in a tower on the mountains is because of the magic that was sealing my conciousness.
Losing the pathetic personality of the former me, and ended up being made to protect a treasure in a place like this.
So why am I talking about it now? The answer is simple.
Like I said earlier demons have fairly high parameter for their physical system but in exchange they are awfully weak to special attacks.
…. then if I used this Demon tear-
Won’t I be able to temporary fight with the entire parameter considerably strengthened?
And as if it had calculated the timing, another memory was revived back to me.
Come to think of the bosses here, the mid boss have a pretty weaker impression in the game than the me now.
[….. Brain Conference end.]
I stand up after picking up the Demon Tear.
Fortunately, I haven’t found the staircase yet.
This is what they call revelation while advancing to the top.
[Gigyaaa!?]
After killing the demon that suddenly appeared, I first decided to find the staircase up to the top.
To the tower boss, the Mad Wizard.
What floor is it, I wonder as I climbed. I remember that this Habuil tower has 9 floors but the floor where the mid boss is somewhere around the 5th floor so I think I’ll be there soon.
Thinking that I climbed the stairs for the third time.
Feeling a little tired and when I was about to stop to rest a bit, a save point conveniently appeared before my eyes.
Surrounded by four pillars stretched an inhospitable ward for monsters that is for players to rest in.
Using tent items, it is an excellent place to make a full recovery of both HP and MP.
Thankfully if I also rest he-re
It repelled me.
Of course it does! ! I’m a demon after all ! !
d.a.m.nit! There isn’t even a place for demons to rest our minds at all d.a.m.nit!
Its multiple damage when its like being told at a place where you are completely tired” you are no longer human”.
Having got no choice with the save room, I had to open the door to a small room outside the four pillars square zone.
Having seen it many times, the steel pa.s.sage stretched onwards the floor.
[Gogegyaaa! ?]
I’m so tired of being your opponent…..
If there is one thing I discovered, then it’s the save point.
This means that it is close to the tower boss, also means its close to the top!
The me who is already motivated to beat the boss, I am sure this has to be done by brute force alone.
[Hmm] (TL: its ‘fumu’ here)
The save point is here which means the boss is defintely up there.
Indeed I don’t have to remember the whole structure of the dungeon. I can go blindly, then the save point will tell me which floor I’m on.
Then when I got on the steel pa.s.sage, I noticed a pale light leaking from somewhere.
……eh
There wasn’t supposed to be any special event on this floor.
Attracted by the strange light, I moved towards it.
The dungeon still stinks of iron but I wonder whats there.
The source is just on the corner of the pa.s.sage I was walking on.
Now then what is going to come out? Is it a demon or a snake?
[Gogyaa! ?]
Its a demon.
With the axe, I cut the demon that appeared at the moment I’d want it to.
Got my expectations up for nothing. A little frustrated as I put the axe back to my back, the light yet again got my eyes.
[….Is this it?]
Hidden under the defeated demon was what look like a stone that was left behind after the demon disappeared.
The heck is this?
What I picked up was just a small debris like stone at the size of a ping pong ball.
Even when touching, it doesn’t give out any spooky feel at all.
Were there any item like this?
Standing up while tilting my head, the debris like stone shined and floated in my hand.
[….. what is this?]
A small round stone giving of a pale blue light while rotating in the air.
When it slowly floated up to the point of my eyes….it disappeared in to my chest as if being sucked in.
[ha?……eh-woah! !]
Eh-whats this?
Before I can even ask that question, my body started getting boiling hot and full of power. Like an enhancer, a vitality agent. Surprisingly, I even know that my power is going wild.
Its not like the power up when leveling up but I couldn’t catch up to what it is.
A power type status up item that didn’t exist in Grimoire Lancer.
Even with the cursed ones, there is no such armor item in my memory.
Then just what is this strange debris like item?
Lets stop thinking. I should be grateful receiving something that makes me stronger.
Thinking by my self isn’t going to work. Sometimes it might be best not to think too much.
Moreover, just at the tip of the place where the stone was at, was a staircase.
I hope its the last but I wonder-
Step, step, walking up the iron stairs.
Looking in front, I can see an intimidating door. Rather than iron it has the feeling of being made of bronze, and I can somehow feel pressure from there.
[Now then. Let the game begin.]
I don’t know how I should use the Demon Tear but for now lets try to risk it.
Then at the same time as it started, brilliant twinkling silver sand fell on my body.
And at the same time a red aura surrounds me.
Seems like the way I use it is correct.
Well, now the only choice I have is to try and wage a fight.
I started running up the stairs. My energy has increased dramatically since a while ago.
Its probably the effect of that debris like stone.
Opening the door with a burst, what I see inside was a magician, a suspicious man, standing behind many aligned pots.
It’s him.
Its definitely the culprit who sealed “me”, the boss of this tower.
The Mad Wizard, Garies.
