The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 415

Chapter 415

As soon as I returned to the village, I reported back to Quiche. And immediately following, I welcomed Quiche as new in her village chief's office at the cost of a lot of blood.
Naturally Quiche fainted. So I quickly dashed over to her side, and lent her my thighs to rest. Lash-san had been watching from the ceiling too.
Since she's a ghost I can't really tell from her look whether she's angry or sad. However, she's clearly missing her usual cheerful, inquisitive mood.
Even so, Quiche being alive was much more important for now. As she was sleeping with her head in my lap, I took a peek at the small bee tattoo on her cheek. Her cheeks were faintly red, making me touch them so as to nurse her.
Right now, your duty as Commander-in-Chief can rest. Get some good sleep…my friend. Even after you've become my bloodkin, I'll still treat you as a friend.
At that moment, Quiche's remark that she wouldn't go back with us after the Evil Dragon King was defeated crossed my mind.
You took in children with no family and rebuilt your home…Cydale together with them.
Considering the distance from Hekatrail to this village…and although you had some children with you who can fight like Arry or Taack, moving via the Hino village while taking several kids along that need protection should have been quite the adventure.
Well, even when we met for the first time at the Bewitching Baraydus Mansion, you had children with you. So it might not have felt like such a great adventure since you and them seemed to have plenty of combat experience.
And I knew that you strongly wished to become my bloodkin in an attempt to obtain the power of a Lucival for the sake of protecting everyone at the village and killing Underground Goddess Rolga.
Quiche…
As I have been watching your gentle disposition that causes you to cherish your ancestors and family as well as your way of life where you've been doing your utmost to act as a role model of a knight and leader…I've started to feel very proud of you.
This is something I never told you directly, but in my heart, I admire you as a great, hard-working knight and friend, you know?
That's also why a part of me didn't want to bring up the matter of bloodkin with you.
However, at this point you're already my kin, so it's moot to talk about it now.
If your friend Sherry finds out about this, she'll obviously become angry that you've gone through with this without talking it over with her.
I must meet Sherry when I get back to Hekatrail. I also must talk to Ledond, the leader of Bloody Longears, and although I don't really feel up to it, I should also have a chat with Chardonnay…
Quiche asked me to negotiate with Chardonnay in her stead…also, there's the dispute between Oseberia and Zamalia, and I think it'd be better if I met with Eris in regards to the guild, too.
I'll also check Kuna's store. I think she's already gone, but…that sturdy door doesn't seem to be anything that can be broken down easily.
As I considered all that I had to do and so on, I stared at Quiche's sleeping face. She still seemed to sleep very snugly. I gently poked the tip of her nose with my index finger, but she didn't wake up.
Anyway, I'm going to use the time until Quiche gets back up. It's the perfect opportunity to check my status.
While stroking Quiche's pretty hair and leaning back against the wall…

Current Status: Normal
As I already expected, my Mana and Spirit went down. But, this was inevitable as all kinds of things occurred, such as me turning Quiche into my bloodkin, me welcoming Spirit World Knight Shuhelia as my own , me acquiring which combined a total of four major skills, me obtaining , Goddess of Nightmares Varmina approving of me, and on top of all that, the birth of Lucy (temporary), the spirit of the Crest Tree of the Lucival.
After acquiring and , I also killed and absorbed divine warriors and priests, so it's only natural for those two values to drop so much.
As for Lucy, whose name still hasn't been decided; she doesn't seem to have any memories of her previous existence as Iglued. Either way, as I've been using Lucy as a name all the time anyway, I might as well start to officially call her Spirit of Lucival or Lucy.
Anyway, let me check my new title.
I touched
※ Demonic Gigachad of the Supreme Spear ※
※ The title of a spearmaster who possesses the caliber of a demonic gigachad, exceeding the qualities of a high king or a demonic rule, be it in Sebdola or Sela ※
※ Easier progress of Charming Awe and Sensation of Godly Phenomena, small increase of all abilities, Growth Correction + ※
The qualities of a high king - I knew this was also affected by the karma of me having devoured High King Hal'Konk. But, since Charming Awe didn't make much sense to me, I touched it.
※ Charming Awe ※
※ Something going beyond Demonic Eyes of Charming. It contains what's commonly referred to as ※
※ In case the magic power of the demonic gigachad can be perceived strongly, the ones on the receiving end will rarely be struck by awe and thrown into confusion ※
So it's a skill-like effect due to the title, huh?
Next, the skill status.

Let's check first.
※ Powerful Lightning Water Slash ※
※ A subtype of Extreme-ranked sweeping techniques of the Strong Spear Style that works together with ※
※ A lightning-based weapon is indispensable. It demands a high level of skill in all martial arts in addition to proficiency in the Strong Spear Style, Water Goddess Style, Water Spear Style, and Sage Art ※ Annotation ※ An ability will be added in case the user possesses the Extra Skill ※
Thank you kindly, Water Goddess-sama. And to you as well, Koko-sama.
Next,
※ Mad Demonic Roar Slash ※
※ A high-ranking subtype of sweeping techniques belonging to the Evil Dragon King Spear Style ※
※ It is categorized as and a skill related to Magic Halberd Baldok's exclusive ※
※ Basic abilities in the Strong Spear Style techniques are required. A high skill level across all abilities and are indispensable as invocation requirements ※
※ Its power is influenced by factors such as the magic elements and souls absorbed Magic Halberd Baldok, the Spirit (soul) and Mana of its user, etc. ※
This is another technique that's exclusive to Baldok, huh? Moreover, it's no ordinary sweep either, I suppose. It sure surprised me when not only an illusion of Evil Dragon King Baldok, but also illusions of monsters and Evil God Steertop rushed out of the blade.
Speaking of illusions appearing when you wield weapons, Tofinger's Crying axes come to mind. I gotta use this one in actual battle someday as well. I'll certainly do so, as long as I don't forget it.
※ Flying Motion of the Demonic Gigachad ※
※ Raises spearmanship-based martial arts, small increase in all martial arts, caliber as ruler ※
Hoh…I further touched on the part about the caliber as ruler.
※ First acquired by Delaha Valzay, the legendary Magic Spear Knight who was the sole survivor of the "Demonic War Night Parade" ※
※ It is a skill that can only be obtained by one who has the caliber of a leader that goes beyond a demonic ruler, possesses Spirit World Knights as subordinates as well as skills that allow them to establish an emotional bond with beasts such as or , and on top of that, registers as a might spearmaster at the level of Magic Hero Chabi Mahark ※
Oh, an additional explanation appeared. Delaha Valzay, huh? I ran into his name back when I obtained as a combat occupation, too.
It looks like we're kind of bound by fate, and I suppose he's someone who had the qualifications of a ruler.
Unconsciously moved my fingers, further barraging the status screen. When I yelled, "Hey, , do your revolution thing, will you!? Come on!", a stinging pain stabbed my head, and my vision blurred as it dyed crimson.
But…
※ Flying Motion of the Demonic Gigachad ※
※ Raises spearmanship-based martial arts, small increase in all martial arts, caliber as ruler ※
NEW ※ It works together with all Mana-based skilled, and it strongly responds to ※
NEW ※ Often times the various lords and outstanding talents of Spirit World Sebdola possess this skill and thus it is also seen as proof of a mighty, manly willpower ※
Additional information with a NEW tag appeared. That's sort of amazing, but blood is running from my nose and eyes. Also, my head hurts… Moreover, the pain isn't quite going away either.
I guess I put too much burden on myself with …
Oh well, whatever. I'm immortal, so I can push myself beyond limits to some extent.
※ King's Scepter of the Light Demon ※
※ A derivation of ※ Obtaining the title is one of its conditions ※
※ A demonic gigachad who knows about light and darkness ※
※ It is proof that its owner exceeded the law of cause and effect as a suzerain of bloodkin ※
※ It is one of the qualifications as king of the Light Demon Lucival ※
※ It is also evidence that the incorporated has grown stronger ※
※ It requires an grand mental force, but it is possible to have twenty ※
※ It is also possible to turn up to 25 people into kin as . As effect of , the kin can acquire individual, evolved skills and experience much easier right after becoming Lucival compared to before ※
One of the qualifications as king of the Light Demon Lucival, eh? I wonder whether there are other skills that correspond to qualifications for kingship. Moreover, the number of possible has increased, hasn't it? Though the same can't be said about , I suppose.
Even after touching the screen all over, any further information stayed out of reach. But! It's too early to give up yet!
