Chapter 1201: Humanseal Blade

The G.o.ddess of Chaos departed, and I found myself back in the forest before I realized it. Well, that part isnt surprising since it always happens.

More importantly, whats going on with my new system! She said something pretty ominous!

Um, guess Ill check my stats

A bunch of things have changed!

First, my name was different. It used to be Human Blade, Master, but its changed to Humanseal Blade, Master. At least I dont have to deal with the lame name of Human Blade anymore

Whats that supposed to mean though? A sword for sealing humans? Or is it because a human soul is sealed within the sword? I guess you could say it makes sense?

There was no change in attack power or mana capacity, so it seems like the transition to a new system was the only thing that happened. Might be more like a software upgrade rather than a hardware one.

The most significant change was the newly added stat: Sword Transformation Rate, which was currently at 61%. Is this describing how sword-like I am?

Too high, and I might devolve into a complete sword, like the other me. Too low, and I might go mad from being unable to adapt to my sword body. Having it conveniently displayed for me like this is pretty helpful.

But how good is 61%? A bit on the high side, maybe?

I might have to be careful if it continues rising from here.

As for my skills, there didnt seem to be any significant changes No wait, several new skills have been added! The name of Self-Evolution got changed, and my stock of points got reduced!

What used to be the Self-Evolution section was now called Growth Adaptation, and the rank display disappeared. My magic stone points got reset to 0/10000, but I got an extra 100 memory. Most shockingly, I had only 80 self-evolution points remaining, when I should have had nearly 200. In other words, over 100 points were unaccounted for.

I think my new skills were counted as forcibly acquired by the system. Something similar happened before, this loss is d.a.m.n huge

My biggest change in skills was the disappearance of Blessing of the Chaos G.o.ddess and Evil Conquest, which were replaced with the new Extra Skills: Apostle of Chaos G.o.ddess and Evil G.o.ds Trust. These must be super strong if I lost 100 points for them. Please be strong, Im begging you.

Apostle of the Chaos G.o.ddess makes sense to an extent. The G.o.ddess called me her apostle, and its probably like an upgraded version of her blessing.

But I have an issue with this so-called Evil G.o.ds Trust. Is this something thats okay to be carrying? And what does this Trust even mean in the first place? Well, I guess the Evil G.o.d has recently been strangely affectionate and doing whatever it wants

I attempted to draw out a bit of evil energy, which instantly formed a thick cloak around me. I was using larger quant.i.ties more quickly than before, yet I hardly felt any recoil. Its like I could use evil energy with the same sensation as using mana.

The Chaos G.o.ddess mentioned that all G.o.ds are G.o.ds, which must be related. Was she telling me to use the Evil G.o.ds power since its the same as any other G.o.d? Or was she warning me not to rely on its power too much?

Hmm, I just dont know. Theres clearly some issues with using evil energy all the time though. I should save it for dangerous situations.

As for divine energy, that felt about the same as before, I guess? I must be missing something before I can reach the same level as Fran. Oh wait, theres another new category at the end!

Chaos Skills?

A new category called Chaos Skills had been added after Unique Skills, Inherent Skills, SP Skills, and the like. The only thing there was some mysterious skill called Chaos Knowledge.

Upon appraisal, all I got was the nothing description of a skill for comprehending chaos. I gave the skill a test activation and got a strange feeling.

Its as if I can understand my insides better, or rather, I can sense the newly expanded and updated parts more clearly. The areas where Fenrir-san and Evil G.o.d Fragment were sealed seem to have become simpler than before, I think.

Well, I guess its a skill affecting areas like perception, control, and processing. Ill gradually try it out and learn more as I go.

Oh right, I still need to finish up the cleanup.

Theres many things I want to try, but corpse disposal takes priority. Im also worried about Fran.

Suppressing the desire to check my stats again, I continued for another three hours before finally dumping away the last corpse. I also had to hunt the occasional magical beast lured in by the scent of death.

There was almost a commotion in the village due to the disappearing bodies. That said, they seem to have attributed it to an unknown property of the superhuman soldiers.

Thus, they decided to ignore the issue since it didnt bring them any harm. However, perhaps this eerie phenomenon pushed them further, as the villagers decided to evacuate before the days end.

The plan was to carry the food supplies Fran gave them and head west.

The villagers were busy preparing carts, as well as a beast-drawn wagon to carry the children. It seems Fran was also to join them on the wagon.

We decided to help as well. Well, we being Urus.h.i.+, who could grow large enough to carry the children on his back.

However, conveying this might be difficult with Fran asleep Should I create a body double for talking to them, or maybe use telepathy pretending to be Urus.h.i.+?

Urus.h.i.+ decided to take things into his own hands while I was pondering it. He gradually increased his size, little by little.

W-Woah, thats pretty cool!

Urus.h.i.+, youve gotten so big!

Urus.h.i.+-chans fluffiness just got even more amazing!

Perhaps because Urus.h.i.+ had been in his relaxed form all along, the villagers didnt seem to be scared. After all, he had fought for the villages sake.

The children seemed incredibly excited as they flocked to Urus.h.i.+s fluffy belly, since he was currently lying belly up.

Seems like the first stage was a success. Urus.h.i.+ then gently grabbed the asleep Fran with his mouth, and lifted her onto his back. He also picked up Mimi by the scruff of her neck and placed her next to Fran.

Then, he proceeded to put the children on his back one by one. This seems to have communicated the intention to the adults.

Are you saying youll carry all the children yourself?

Woof!

Oh, thats a lifesaver!

That should help quicken the pace of the evacuation. Time is of the essence right now.
