"Strike?" Junior asked him, his blue jelly protector lying on his sword bait.
"Use the privilege you were born with," Victor explained, sitting in an armchair by the fireplace in the manor hall. He placed his new scythe and bazooka on either side. "It's nothing too painful. After I'm mentally prepared -"
Blue Jelly nodded to everything he said.
Then it jumped up, passed through the gap in his helmet and hit him in the eye!
Victor let out a scream of surprise and pain as the little creature bounced off his face and landed on little James' back.
[Troll Reply] active! You gain the [Reply] status.
Congratulations! You learned [Mud Attack] personal benefits!
[Slime-Slam]: Technology. You can jump up to ten times your height and launch yourself at opponents, dealing weak physical damage.
"Does it hurt?" Junior asked, sounding worried. Over time, this imitator becomes almost as loyal to its food source as a cat.
"What the hell!?" Victor replied, even though his eyes were back from regeneration.
You have recovered all HP.
Victor stroked little James's back with one hand. He imitated little James' purring. Victor glanced through the window and saw that the sun had slowly disappeared behind the mountains. Night is coming; the perfect time to launch another attack.
His priests set up guards around the mansion to prevent new undead - with the exception of the Wand and some members of the Raptor Commandos - from entering. While Ravi could disable them, she had to activate the alarm. The worship of the Moon Man has begun to protect his house, forming a powerful defense force.
Finally, he had a cult army worthy of his haunted house.
Speaking of the military, Kia chose to walk into the hall with the company this time.
"Tadaa!" said the Paladin as she showed him the new and improved Raptor Rangers. Each of them now wore lightweight dwarven armor, swords and whips. "This is your new team of vampire hunters!"
"Only a dead man can know the true power of 'Puff'." Huang said in a guttural voice.
Red said happily: "With the amount of money we received from the chief [Mo

"Knights of Winkle!" Tears of joy filled the pink eyes.
"Fine, but please give me a moment," Victo
After saying that, he stood up from the chair and used [Mo

Kachin Independence Army Bekele
Angel - blessed human being (human form/angel)
Weaknesses: Alcohol, depression, boredom.
Powerful Opponent: Everything else (epic level, crap!)
The most dangerous game in the world, two-legged predators from aliens, the ruthless Earth. What this fearsome mammal lacks in strength, it more than makes up for in intelligence, cruelty, and numbers; their bodies are made of carbon. Carbon! Like diamond!
If left unchecked, these bloodthirsty primates can conquer the entire world with the power of science, destroying ecosystems and killing anything that crosses their path. You don't beep them; they beep you. Then they use your skin to make a wallet!
In short, this is a human woman. At the same time, a
gel-blessed.
Didn't show up. good. He checked each member of the kobold rangers and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait a minute, you just used ScanPe on us.
K?" Kia said, putting her armored hands on her hips. "That's racial profiling!"
"You did this when we first met!" Victor also complained. "The Night Blades have doppelgangers, and they can sneak assassins into your midst."
"I stopped scanning people for karma after you pointed out what it meant," Kia replied. "I have (Eye of Mithras) Pe
k. While it doesn't detect any physical changes, I can see through invisibility and hallucinations. Like an invisible bat. "
As she was saying these words, Victor heard a sound in the corner of the room. Kia stretched out a finger and fired a small dagger of light, piercing an invisible creature and pinning it to the wall. The vizier watched in amazement as a huge bat appeared before his eyes, impaled like a hunting trophy.
"How long has it been in the room?" he asked, and little James growled at the beast.
"Too long," Kia replied. "It's the vampiric curse. It's nothing on its own, but it can creep into almost anywhere."
Victor wasn't surprised that the Night Blades had planted a spy in his home, but it did make him uneasy. "It would be nice if you could check the rest of the building later. Did you bring the letter I asked for?"
"Of course, Kevin is already doing that. Are you making any progress with your training?"
"This." Victor looked at the list of Perks collected in the past two days.

To be honest, he could barely remember what half of them did. This would be a nightmare, especially if he learned to practice necromancy. "[Brain Blast] causes weak mental damage, [Hundred Needles] causes weak plant damage, [Bullet Punch] causes weak physical damage, [Electric Shock] causes weak lightning damage..."
"So all kinds of weak, forgettable attacks?" Kia didn't sound impressed. In all.
Unfortunately, she has a point. Most Pe
ks also lacks strength, as there are no monsters in the Whispering Lands that can match Fu in strength
ibo
Competing with such people.
Monster Knight is truly the Swiss Army Knife of professions. He didn't know how many skills he could learn...
Congratulations! After learning over 15 monster perks through hard training methods, you have earned the [Perk Forging] personal perk!
[Skill Forging]: You can fuse the skills of various monsters into a stronger skill; however, you will permanently lose Pe
k components and cannot relearn them.
The more Victor learned, the more he became convinced that the system in part encouraged specialization. "Hey, I can fuse monster perks now."
"How many at a time?" Kia asked curiously, and Ju
io
Then he was chewing a bat in the corner.
"I don't know, it wasn't mentioned."
"Then why not all of them?" the KIA asked. "You could end up with the most powerful capabilities ever created...or have a fusion accident."
Since he permanently lost the component, Victor couldn't risk sacrificing an ability as powerful as [Dark Curse]. He could try Kia's idea, but he would first test this Pe by using components that have good synergy
k.
Then, Victor decided to combine [Channel Hellfire (Small)] and [Dragon Fire (Wy
mli
g)], because he definitely doesn’t want to experience Vai again

breathing. The damage of dragon fire is much greater than that of ordinary fire, and even Victor has his limits.
Select Register. You will have [Pathway Hellfire (Minor)] and [Dragon Breath (Wy
mli
g)] merged into [Blackfire].
[Black Fire]: Skill, 1 point per second. You can unleash gloomy hellfire from your hands, feet, or mouth; half the damage is [Dragon] type, the other half is [Evil] type. This technique bypasses [Fire] resistance. When you deal fire damage with a spell or ability, it now deals an additional 20% [Evil] damage.
Not bad, but not a game changer. The fact that it costs less than its two component technologies means that Victor shouldn't run out of SP in combat, like he did against the Adventurers.
Well, it's time to test Kia's hypothesis. He decided to sacrifice most of the weaker skills and only keep the really useful ones [Troll Recovery] and [Black Curse].
Select Register. You combine [Silver Fang], [Brain Blast], [Slime Armor], [Venom Fang], [Ghoul Fever], [Hundred Needles], [Black Thorn], [Shock], [Bullet Punch], [ [Dragon Burst], [Angel Heart], [Grudge], [WAZZAAA!]], and [Slime-Slam] become: [Darwinism].
[Darwinist]: When targeted by a creature type-related effect (such as [Undead] or [Dragon]), you are always treated as the most advantageous type or combination of types for the purpose of resolving the effect; your species does not will change, but the system will temporarily register you as a different type.

Elements affected by k include weapons, perks, spells, field effects…
"Wait, that's all?" Victor asked disappointedly. It certainly had its uses, but he was expecting something with more visual impact. "Is this more than ten allowances?"
"It was a nuclear fusion accident."
Charisma check successful!
Um?
There was a knock on the hall door. "Come in," Victor said, letting Chocolate and Allison inside.
"Hi, Vic." The werewolf waved to him, although not as cheerfully as usual.
"The ward is safe," Alison said, and Victor asked her to oversee the security of his home.
"Yes, a bat slipped in." The minister pointed to the bloody fragment on the wall that little James had finished chewing.
"It must have been in the mansion before I set up the protection," the dryad argued. "They've probably been watching you longer than I have."
Yes... Victor used his [Monster Insight] Pe
k, just in case. This whole unfortunate encounter had made him paranoid.
Alliso
Lysine
Jungle Goddess (Plant/Fairy Tale).
Strong resistance: plants, water, spirits, disease, life, instant death, paralysis.
Weak to: Fire, Frost, Flower Killer, Fairy Killer, Lightning, Poison.
A stonewalled man reincarnated from Earth, chosen by Sebri, the goddess of pleasure; which means you have no excuses. Chocolate's best friend but wants to make pastries with the werewolf in the barn, if you know what I mean; unlike you, she's smart and keeps things simple. Go get the melting pot salad!
Good to know. He was afraid of reading new information about chocolate, but took a peek anyway.
Shadowma
Doppelgänger (fairy/human form)
Powerful against fairies, mind control, poison, hallucinations, paralysis, sleep, and truth detection.
Weaker than Killer, Cold Iron and Silver.
You are the natural killer.
Victor immediately grabbed his scythe. "Ghost! Alison, follow me!"
"What?" said the dryad and the werewolf at the same time. Was the doppelganger hoping to mislead him by feigning confusion?
If so, it did not deceive his Pe
k and his allies. Kia immediately drew out the sword, moving so fast, Victo
Didn't even see her stab Chocolati with her sword
e's throat. The werewolf let out a startled scream. “Where is the real one?” The Kachin Independence Army threat.
"Why is it so noisy?" A familiar voice came from the room, and another chocolate girl walked in. She looked up at her double, exchanged glances with her, then turned to Victor himself. "Vic, you replaced me?"
Victor and everyone in the room blinked, and the Prime Minister immediately used his Pe on her
k.
Shadowma
Doppelgänger (fairy/human form)
Powerful against fairies, mind control, poison, hallucinations, paralysis, sleep, and truth detection.

You are the natural killer.
damn it.
"Stop!" Victor told Kia. "They somehow used a spell to reflect false information and I couldn't tell which piece of chocolate was real!"
"They're exactly the same," Kia said to herself, pushing the first chocolate against the wall with her free arm, then threatening the second with her sword. "This is not an illusion. [Karma Scan]... They all appear very evil! How can they fake their own karma?"
Victor decided not to comment on how her karma scan had not misled her.
Charisma check successful! The Shadowman can't read your mind, now you know it tried!
Victor eyed the two women suspiciously. One of them, if not both, is definitely the infiltrator. The Nightblade must have sent him because they couldn't get past the guards.
"Vic, this is a liar!" pleaded the first Chocolat. "She's trying to confuse you!"
"Oh, oh, I see!" said the second chocolate with disturbing glee. "This is a fake moment! I've always wanted to meet one!"
"What should I shout when I wield that legendary sword?" Victor asked. A matter of technique.
"King Arthur's Excalibur!" they both shouted at the same time.
Victor face-palmed. The doppelgänger may not be aware of its own thoughts, but it may be able to read the thoughts of others, including Chocolate's own.
"Oh, I know a way!" said Pink Ranger. "We summon two demons!"
"Good idea," Blue nodded. "The person who killed it in the most painful way was obviously the real one!"
"You all think I'm crazy?" the first person asked in frustration.
"Chocolate might kill, but she would never do it cruelly," Allison noted. "Just to eat. That was almost her credo."
"I know you'll have my back, Alison!" cried the second.
"Eat both," said little James hungrily. "certainly."
"Of course! The jelly on the back agreed.
"Vic..." Chia said in a low voice. "You call."
The minister examined both women, trying to find personal information to distinguish the real women. If he hadn't switched mounts in preparation for the fight with Lovely, then he could have summoned the real mount, but now...
Think, Victor. How did they get around his Pe
Damn it, after it successfully penetrated all their natural immunity? Why risk him not being able to tell the difference between real and fake? Unless...unless...
Intelligence check successful.
"None of it is true."
Before he could finish his words, it was all over. Kia cut down the two werewolves in the blink of an eye, causing them to fall to the ground.
Allison let out a scream of horror and surprise, covering her mouth with her hands. "Vic, what are you doing...what are you doing..."
Both bodies turned into solid shadows before collapsing into nothingness.
"They caught the real one," Victor explained, while Allison calmed herself down. "Psychological warfare". A strategy based on his innate acceptance of the rules set before him? Very smart, but he learns from the best.
Then the hall went dark and all light and fire went out.
The terrain is temporarily changed to [Dark Underworld].
Nocturnal creatures, demons, and undead have increased attributes on the battlefield and will be more difficult to transform. All non-nocturnal animals will suffer from this disease. Mo
otype, non-undead creatures will become undead when killed on the battlefield.
All attributes increase by one level!
"Light shield!" Victor heard Kia's cry, and a solid ball of light formed a circular barrier around them. As she did so, a haunting flute sound echoed through the hall.
"Behind us, boss!" The kobold rangers formed a circle around Victor, flanked by James Jr. and his disciples. "Back off! We've got a mini lizard on our side!"
A wail echoed in the darkness, and six emaciated ghosts crashed against the barrier.
"This building..." Chia said as he followed, the vengeful ghost bouncing off the light barrier and disappearing as soon as it hit the barrier. "How old is it?"
"Older than the town," Allison answered. "A dark wizard lived here when Rollo first started working in the fields. It's full of resentment and dark spirits."
"It's weird because the architecture looks...gothic?" Kia struggled to find the right words. "It's looking directly from Earth."
A place full of ghosts and dark resentments? "Wait, wait, wait," Victor said. "Didn't that magician do experiments in a basement or something?"
The Night Blade knows he has the map, and killing him could destabilize the Whisperers, and the manor could be a nightmare laboratory...
Victor searched with his free hand in one of his hidden armor containers, pulled out Mort's map, and read it by the light of the barrier.
It shows Ravi's position right next to him.
His basement.
The ghost's attack ceased, and a new figure approached the light barrier; Victor recognized him as Emile Lavery, the vampire he had fought before. "All we want is Dalton and the map," he announced. "Leave him to us and we'll let you go."
Kia's reaction was hilarious.
"We may not be able to kill you, Flash Knight, but you can't protect them all either," the assassin replied calmly. "That doesn't include the civilians we will continue to kill as long as he lives."
"Why me?" Victor protested, putting the map back into his armor. "What have I done to you?"
"If you die, the regime will collapse," Emile Lave
e) point out. "The dragon will go crazy, mismanage his army, and go back to his old ways. You are his emotional support, so we are going to remove you. Forever."
Warning: The manor is under the effect of [Soul Trap]!
If you die within its sphere of influence, your soul becomes trapped in its focus.
"Point?" Victor thought for a moment, thinking that others had seen the same information.
"[Solomon's Grimoire]," Kia explained, "will grab hold of your soul and prevent any form of resurrection as long as it exists."
"No more resurrections," Emil drew his dagger, the others gleaming in the darkness. "There is no afterlife. There is nothing."
Victor knows that his angel insurance is a waste of SP.
