Chapter 99
CHAPTER 99 – A RIDICULOUS SKILL
Returning from the lottery place, I picked up Io using the Warp Feather, and came to the Orycuto’s valley .
The lord of the valley, the immortal monster Orycuto ran away the moment it saw me .
If it were a comical manga, it would be probably having springs of sweat .
「Oh〜, it’s running it’s running」
『Of course it would run, thinking of the things that you did to it up until now』
「Should I stop it?」
Io readied her magic staff, and asked while looking at Orycuto .
「It’s fine, I didn’t come for him today」
「Then why are we here?」
「Just wait a bit」
I casted the spell, and shot lightning magic on the wall .
It’s a magic that I learned from Io, and the Orydite wall broke into pieces with the explosion .
「Uu……Kakeru-san’s so unfair」
「Unfair?」
「That’s right, being able to use such a strong magic」
「Although it’s strong, it’s only 80% of Io’s right, in the first place, it’s a magic a learned from you」
There are two ways to learn magic in this world .
The first way is to learn it by training properly .
The other way is to receive magic attacks .
If one has the aptitude for the magic they received, and if they survive after that, they would be able to use it .
Coming to this world with all abilities multiplied 777 times, my life force and magical aptitude are also multiplied by 777 times .
I also had to defend, and survived after getting hit by Io . After that, I was able to use it .
「You’re not a magician though」
「Hmm . I don’t consider myself as a swordsman as well . I mean, what in the world am I」
I could use magic, but I main in melee battles and swords .
「Hero or Savior?」
『Both of them aren’t good ones huh』
Eleanor said while laughing out loud .
Those words were probably because she knows most of the heroes .
Well, that doesn’t matter .
「Well then, let’s start the test」
「Ah, yes . What do I need to do?」
「You only need to stand there」
「Eh?」
I smiled at Io who was confused, and activated the ability .
『Copy Plus』that I got from the fixed lottery .
「Copy Io’s lightning magic powers」
【Lightning Magic Powers will be copied from Io Akos】
I designated the ability as Io’s lightning magic powers .
The next instant, I felt my magic powers heightening .
「Move back」
「Yes」
Although tilting her head, Io moved back as she was told .
After seeing that, I chanted the lightning magic once again .
The magic powers that I gathered exploded .
The magic was blasted nearly double the range compared to earlier .
「Ama〜zing〜! Were you holding back earlier, Kakeru-san」
「No, it’s not that」
I denied it, and looked straight to Io .
「It’s my new ability . I could copy the ability of the person in front of me, and add it to myself . Right now, I copied your lightning magic powers」
「It was like that! Ah! That’s why it’s about double」
「That’s right」
After thinking for a moment, I said to Io .
「Io, you use your magic too . I’ll use it together . I want to check if it’s really copying」
The one I got before was lending my ability, and while I’m lending the multiplier, I myself could not use the ability .
But this time, it’s a “copy” not “lending” .
That’s why I thought that Io could also use her ability while I copy it .
「I got it」
Io nodded, readied her magic staff, and heightened her magic powers .
I did the same think .
I made eye contact with her, and after we nodded to each other, we shot out magic .
The lightning magic explodes, and the shards of Orycudite had scattered all over the place .
「Did Io shot at full strength?」
「Un! Just as usual」
「I see . It’s really “copied” huh」
「Uwa……Kakeru-san’s amazing . That just means, it became twice as strong」
「Well, yeah」
It looks like it’s an ability that’s more than I expected .
It’s probably the higher class of the lending ability . The problem is that there’s only one of it, but even so, its performance is good enough .
『It’s an ability that is useless for you who is already strong from the start . Ones that has higher ability value than you, there are not a lot of those . Even if you copy and add the abilities of the humans weaker than you, it would be pointless . Also』
「Also?」
『Isn’t that an ability that would show its best performance with an enemy stronger than you . Such an opponent……do they exist?』
「……well, it’s not a minus ability so it’s fine as well」
『That is true』
I felt Eleanor’s presence shrugging her shoulders in my head .
It’s true that it’s powerful, but it doesn’t make me explosively stronger .
I thought that it was a good ability at first, but hearing Eleanor’s points, I felt that I got excited for nothing .
「Well then, let’s go home . Thanks for keeping me company」
I said thanks to Io and took out the Warp Feather .
Well then, Fiona and the other girl’s talk should be over by now .
『Ne〜, ne〜, Otou-san』
The instant before I warped, Hikari who was keeping herself quiet opened her mouth .
「What is it」
『Why are you not copying the strong Io-oneechan?』
「Strong Io?」
“What does she mean”, I tilted my head .
『Un . It’s Io-oneechan who became stronger with Otou-san’s power?』
『……after lending her your ability huh』
Eleanor said, and I realized as well .
「Io, stand there for a moment」
「Un!」
「Lend Io lightning magic powers」
【Magic Powers of Lightning will be lent to Io Akos . Time Remaining: 4 minutes 59 seconds】
「Copy Io’s lightning magic powers」
【Lightning Magic Powers will be copied from Io Akos】
「Io, shoot with all of your powers」
「Un!」
Io heightens her magic powers, I also chanted the same spell .
The two of us heightened our magic power .
「Hundred Lightning!!」
「Haaa!!」
The magic exploded, the lightning magic multiplied 777 times with the two of us at the same time .
Countless lightning fell down on the stone mountain .
Explosion, ground shaking, and shockwave .
After all of that endedーー .
「The mountain’s……gone」
Io surprised .
There’s a hole that seemed to be opened by the magic hitting it . The stone mountain that was there just earlier disappeared completely .
And there, Orycuto regenerated .
It’s good that he ran away, but it looks like he got caught by the x2 wide range magic .
It rather seemed sorrowful because it regenerated due to its immortality .
『Waa〜, Otou-san’s so amazing〜 . Io-oneechan, amazing〜』
Hikari innocently cheered .
『Hmm, I’ll take back my words』
Eleanor said with a serious face .
『It’s a ridiculous ability』
「Yeah」
『And, you’re also finally entering a ridiculous level』
「Yeah」
A synergy born from the skills gained from the lottery, and it created a ridiculous effect .
