Episode 56. Aesthetic (2)
[Aesthetic : 下]
The effect was quite heterogeneous.
To sum it up in one line, it was this effect.
[Adds aesthetic sense to everything.]
Opening of stats.
When information about him seeped into my head.
…I wondered what bullshit this was.
However, it is not worth seeing at first glance.
After confirming the effect of [Aesthetic], I was able to fix that impure thought.
Add aesthetic flair to ‘everything’.
There was no effect that suited me better than that.
‘It’s definitely different from other stats.’
Strength, Agility, Magic, etc.
Each ability has its limitations.
for example.
Just like strength stats can’t directly affect the power of magic.
That was the reason why I evaluated aesthetics as heterogeneous.
‘Magic swordsmanship, even black magic…’
Because aesthetics really affected ‘everything’.
What does that mean?
what is and what is not.
I have no choice but to drag everything and use it.
There is no better effect than this…!
Gooh—
I raised my magic power.
『Magic』 with aesthetic sense added.
The target of the manifestation is the approaching demon king army.
‘Let’s check them one by one.’
It starts with getting used to it.
Quad deuk-!
Again, this is a stone pillar.
However, the stone pillars with added aesthetic sense were different from before.
The appearance of stone pillars rising from the ground is like.
“…Sir is that?”
Harkon was startled.
I could understand that kind of reaction.
I was just a little surprised when it came out.
“…Stop!!”
The thing that stood in the way of the Demon King’s army.
were soldiers.
Yeah, we just sorted it out.
Frost’s soldiers.
I manifested their appearance as a statue.
…Wow. wait for a sec.
How complex is the interference process involved?
I knew it well from experience.
Why was it like that when changing the shape of the silver dagger?
I just twisted the shape a little to increase the killing power.
The amount of mana consumed by it was at a level that could not be ignored.
however.
‘…This isn’t a bit twisted.’
Figurine from plain stone.
It is literally the level of creating a form.
There were even more than a hundred statues that manifested that way.
Even if my magic power has grown and the [natural enemy relationship] is active.
I couldn’t help but run out of mana.
Of course, if it was in the past.
I checked the horsepower consumed.
‘It’s not bad.’
Although it consumed more than just manifesting a stone pillar.
Compared to the level of magic manifested.
This is a level of consumption that is no different from free.
It was all thanks to aesthetics.
aesthetic sense.
It was a simplification of an ever more complex interference process.
‘To put it simply.’
It must be something like shortcuts or macros.
Of course, it’s more cumbersome than when you don’t use it.
Just by pressing one button.
The output is several times, not dozens of times.
But the truth was that only I could know.
It was natural for the Demon King’s army to stop.
“That’s definitely what we killed…?”
“Could it have been revived?”
“No, there’s no way that would be possible with a human subject!”
Even the shadow mercenaries who were watching.
“Even inspiration, take a proper breath. What are you so surprised about? It’s all just a few pieces of stone sticking out.”
“…Lockkid. I envy your ignorance.”
“What bastard?! Who is ignorant, you bastard!”
I will recover the body.
They looked at me as if I was a crazy person.
Now, somehow, even that gaze feels strangely different.
Especially kitsch, those eyes are completely looking at me like a monster.
however.
“Look smart. You little devil.”
I even thought of explaining the whole thing to me.
There was no room for that.
I spoke in a cold voice.
“Even death cannot break a person’s pride.”
I said that clearly as I collected the body.
-Your pride will be inherited by me.
That’s right, I’m in a hurry to keep my words…!
Now that the Demon King’s army is agitated.
I didn’t hesitate.
Sweetheart-!
soldier statue.
They blew the weapons they were holding toward the Demon King’s army.
Because the weapon is also part of the piece.
It was natural that the shape was elaborate.
It was like adding my magical power to that.
Its destructive power is beyond words.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
accurately.
A throw that only attacks the demon army.
“Aaaaaaaa!! fuck!!”
“How are the dead bastards…!”
“Fantastic tricks on human subjects!”
Is it really worth the level?
[Demon King’s Centurion: Lv
.
“Don’t be fooled. It’s just a gimmick!”
It’s a simple trick.
I added a word.
“I guess my expectations were too high.”
“…what?”
“There is no way a stupid devil could understand pride.”
The real thing starts now.
I raised my mana in earnest.
As I said, aesthetics affect everything.
‘What kind of synergy can be created with each attribute magic? You need to know.’
Then, what was needed was a sphere of light magic power.
I manifested the light.
It didn’t have to be large.
‘Delicacy is required rather than great power.’
The battlefield is a complex urban area.
Because it was necessary to separate the enemy from the ally and attack.
‘Instead of reducing the size, it is better to increase the number.’
As long as aesthetics exist.
There was no such thing as a huge amount of mana being wasted in that interference process.
And it may not be important, but…
Fluffy—
“…pretty.”
“Brilliant!”
“Inspiration. What is the magic that tickles me just by looking at it?”
Like snowflakes glistening in sunlight.
The magic sphere with aesthetic sense was quite beautiful.
Of course, beauty wasn’t everything.
manifestation.
like snowflakes.
The magic spheres that flew towards the demon lord army began to manifest as each attribute magic.
Aesthetic sense was also added to each attribute magic.
The fire burns fiercely
The water roared quietly.
Even the roaring thunderbolt is like a judgment from the sky.
It felt sublime.
What is that scene like?
It was difficult for me to put into words.
That was unavoidable.
whatever the view
After all, the process of hunting demons.
Whatever the method, it is perfectly normal.
I said calmly.
“Get out of the way.”
Of course, I couldn’t be calm to my heart.
Everything is a message that comes to mind from a while ago.
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]…
And it was because of the blinking quest window.

Experience and Contribution.
I shamelessly thought.
…Would it be worth aiming for first place in contribution?

Frost.
There was no more sunlight in Miya’s house.
Miya looked at the window covered by the curtain.
How many days has it been?
My father asked for trust and went out the door.
-Miya. You should never open the door.
Miya was not as young as her younger brother, Mark.
So I knew.
The demon invaded Frost and my father left home to fight the demon.
and.
-mark. Listen to your sister carefully until you return.
The fact that my father will never come back.
Miya didn’t think of herself as pitiful.
Because I knew that this ordeal was not just for me.
But it was strange.
Ever since I heard the news that another village has been captured by demons.
It was definitely something I had in mind.
For some reason, tears kept coming out.
“…sniff.”
But Miya didn’t cry.
No, even if I cried, I couldn’t cry in front of Mark.
…mark?
Miya stretched out her arms as hard as she could and groped around.
However, no matter how much I stretched out my arms, I couldn’t touch the round back of Mark’s head.
Where are you going, boy?
Did you go up to the second floor?
It was when I was thinking
A ray of light came through in the darkness.
“!”
Mark had pulled back the curtain.
Miya was startled.
The devil might catch you!
He whispered to Mark.
“mark…! Close the curtains!”
Mark’s face in sunlight.
For some reason, the corner of Mark’s mouth went up gradually.
Mark said brightly.
“It’s snowing, sister!”
…snow?
It hadn’t snowed in Frost for a while.
Father said so.
Because the gates of hell were opened in Frost Forest.
The land is getting hotter and there will be no more snow.
He must have said that…
Dori Dori—
‘Mark saw something wrong.’
that fool!
Miya quickly ran to Mark.
dark house.
It hurt because I was filmed here and there, but I held back my tears.
And quickly draw the curtains…
“…Huh?”
Tried to close
As Mark said, it was really snowing.
Fluffy—
Miya stared blankly out the window and was startled.
…isn’t it snow?
Even if it was thick snow, the snowflakes were too big.
I haven’t seen snowflakes like this even when the snow piled up to the roof.
And above all, it was so shiny.
“…pretty.”
To the extent that I feel that way for the first time when I look into your eyes.
The bewildered Miya came to her senses at Mark’s words.
“Nuna, let’s go out and have a snowball fight!”
Dad said it was because Mark was still young.
“… you idiot!”
Miya was sure.
Mark was sure to be an idiot.
Miya came to her senses.
It didn’t matter if it was snow or not.
‘hurry!’
Close the curtain before the devil finds out!
In the meantime, the appearance of the street that I saw naturally.
“…sister? Do you look at me meanly alone!”
Although I couldn’t see the short mark.
It was seen by Miya.
“…Did you come to save me?”
The figure of the knights fighting the devil.
Mia felt like she was about to burst into tears.
But next to the knights, there was a strangely dressed man.
“…?”
The outfit was definitely something I had never seen before.
However, there was a word that passed through Miya’s memory.
-I think it was when my dad was about the same as Miya. There were people called adventurers from another world… Everyone, including my dad, received a lot of help from the adventurers.
Miya could sense it.
‘I’m an adventurer.’
That man is the adventurer my father told me about.
But at the same time, the father’s request comes to mind.
-Miya. Whoever it is, you should never blindly trust it.
…That’s right, Dad said that the devil is good at tricking people.
Miya bit her lower lip.
Yeah, maybe that’s a trick too.
But it was a strange thing.
“…no.”
No matter how you think about it, that wasn’t something the devil would do.
The men and knights were collecting the body.
Among them was a face Miya knew.
“Uncle Hanson…”
It was the guard who had been greeting me until a few days ago.
An adventurer who closes his eyes.
Seeing that, Miya’s heart moved.
“Me too… I want to see you too. sister!”
Miya said to the whining Mark.
“…mark. Let’s have a snowball fight.”
“…really?!”
“Really. promise.”
Miya held Mark’s hand firmly.
*
I realized again.
‘Shadow mercenaries.’
their skills.
With Kichi at the head, there was a hierarchy among them.
But the sequence is colorless.
Even the stone rock kid had tremendous fighting power.
see now
“Come on in droves. Bug-like bastards.”
Every time Lockkid swung his mace, the demon army was swept away like autumn leaves.
To slaughter a monster over level 400 like that.
‘It’s more surprising that it’s not a sword.’
Lockkid couldn’t see the light that was unique to swordsmanship.
It was that he was overpowering the devil with pure strength alone.
All of a sudden, I felt like my liver was protruding out of my stomach.
‘…I’m a shadow mercenary like that.’
It was like he was half-forced and dragged to Frost here at the end of the power struggle.
But fortunately, apart from that strength, they were kind to me.
“We are also working hard. Are you watching?”
“I am watching. Looks like you still have room.”
“…Wo, do you have time?! OMG. We will work harder!”
“?”
It was simply a compliment for his skills.
what is that reaction?
Anyway, apart from the gaze that looked at me like a monster.
Kitsch did his best.
“If it’s okay with you.”
Not only Kichi, but also an old man called Alkari spoke politely to me.
Even with potions.
“Making drugs is my specialty.”
However, this noble Grand Fel.
Are you saying that he is a great man who will depend on potions that others have given him?
Naturally, I replied.
“I understand the favor, but I’m fine.”
“Oh oh…! It’s unintentional to suspect Nari. Please forgive this lowly old man for his old age.”
“?”
What is this reaction again?
I thought there was a misunderstanding in communication.
It wouldn’t be the right situation to get it right now.
my magic.
A pincer attack by the Lion Heart Knights and the Shadow Mercenaries.
Thanks to this, the Demon King’s army retreated only after suffering damage close to annihilation.
There was no need to chase. As long as the goal is to subdue the demon lord, we will meet again.
And now we have work to do.
Harkon shouted.
“Collect the body!”
Because there were no dead bodies on the way.
Harkon said to me as I closed the guard’s eyes.
“kyung. I firmly believed that there would be survivors.”
Softly—
“But…!”
Harkon’s shoulders tremble with anger.
If nothing else, one thing was certain.
To incur such a grudge against the underworld Harkon.
‘I don’t know who it is, but you’re in real trouble, the devil corps commander.’
It was then.
“…!”
The fact that the quest window flickered.
Thanks to you, I have something to say to Harkon.
“Don’t blame yourself, Harkon.”
“…?”
[Class Quest: Defeat the Demon King]
The king of demons.
Their demonic powers begin to reach out.
The last demon hunter.
Take down the throne of evil.
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat)
─Investigate the northern city of Frost. (Success)
Class Quest.
A new goal added at the end.
—Save the survivors. (in progress)
I said calmly.
“Anyway, it seems that your beliefs are not wrong.”
That moment.
wide-!
The curtain that had been drawn was opened.
“A new survivor…!”
But it’s still too early to rejoice.
—Stop the demon lord summoning ceremony
