Chapter 495: Its Been a Week

A week pa.s.sed quickly after I was placed on the pedestal.

The a.n.a.lysis isnt finished yet. Seriously, this is going to take at least a month, isnt it?

While Fran was here with me, she went out for goblin stalking now.

Fran and Urus.h.i.+ seem to have taken a great liking to goblin stalking, which was supposed to be their training, and they go out happily every day. They found it as fun as playing detective.

Today is the day Im going to get close enough while not being spotted by Crooked Nose

Woof!

Nn. The Crooked Nose cant be taken lightly

woof?

It keeps playing with the Spear guy and never returns to the nest

She now can distinguish between the different goblins, and shes having fun by giving them nicknames.

Right now, they seem to be following the goblins around all day long, trying to track down their nest. Shell keep going until she gets tired of it.

Because of this, Fran and Urus.h.i.+ didnt come back even if it gets dark, leaving me with a lot of free time.

Thanks to that, Ive completed my original novel-style story that Ive been imagining little by little. The t.i.tle of the story is The Former Brave Wise Man as SSSS Ranked Adventurer in His Previous Life, Reincarnated for The Third Time to Become a Demon King as a Holy Sword Used by a Villainess

Its a super high fantasy with gag, tears, and s.e.x appeal. Of course, it also includes elements of sarcasm and harem.

In the end, when he and his 100 wives are about to take revenge on the hero party that abandoned him, he realizes that it was all a dream. When the protagonist wakes up on his bed on earth, he realizes the pointlessness of fighting and realizes that a normal life is the best! This is the end of that story.

Its terribly interesting, even for me. Im sure if I posted it on Lets Become a Novelist! (1), which I used to use on Earth, it would be ranked number one in no time. Even I was scared of my writing talent.

Master, whats wrong?

Im getting bored. Ive got enough time on my hands to finish a big, long, super-sh*tty fantasy in my head that isnt even interesting

Uumm, why doesnt Master go train too?

Ive done that too

I was still training to control the flow of my magic power, imitating Fran and Urus.h.i.+. However, I have the Simultaneous Operation skill. Thats why I can think about other things while Im training.

Theres also the blessing of the G.o.d of Wisdom, so it cant be helped

What do you mean?

That blessing a.s.sists you with the Simultaneous Activation of magic (2). Or should I say, that makes it easier for you to split your thoughts huh?

When combined with Simultaneous Operations (3), the effect is doubled. That means I can have twice as much free time.

But why did I get the blessings of the G.o.d of Wisdom?

Thats because the Divine Sword Cherubim was a kin of the G.o.d of Wisdom. In other words, the being that Master calls Announcer-san is the G.o.d of Wisdoms kin

It seems that Alistairs maintenance strengthened my connection with the residue of Cherubim, and I was recognized as a member of the kin too.

Speaking of which, Ive been wondering about the emblem on my guard. Why is it in the shape of a wolf? No, I know it represents Fenrir, but I thought, cherubim were supposed to be designed like angels, right?

There are several reasons for this, one is to hide the fact that master is a former cherubim, and even though it was rarely seen by the public, there are still people who know what it looked like because of Oracle skills

Thats for sure. If they find out that I was a former Divine Sword, theyre going to come after me in many ways.

The other, simply because it makes it stronger

What? It wasnt just a change in shape huh?

No, its just a change in shape, you know? But the form and existence are closely linked. A cherubim has a form befitting a cherubim, and Master who took in has a form befitting for it

Does that change the strength?

Just a little bit. Well, thats because its a Divine Sword, a high-ranking ent.i.ty. Theres no point in messing around with the emblems on a few of those swords

Because of the tremendous power of the Divine Sword, even a slight increase in strength would be meaningful.

Oh yeah For example, it will also affect the acquisition of blessings. A weapon in the shape of fire will not have the blessings of the Water G.o.d. The image given by the figure is that much more important

But with the wolf design on me, I dont get the blessings of Fenrir or G.o.ddess of the Silver Moon. Instead, I get the blessings of the G.o.d of Wisdom

This may sound contradictory to what I said earlier, but the form is not everything. Its important, but in the end, its only one of the factors that make up a big thing

I guess its all about whats inside as well as how it looks huh

Thats what I mean

In the first place, the blessings of the G.o.d of Wisdom were supposed to be given to me as I grew up, but they had to be put on hold due to Announcer-sans loss of power. Thanks to Alistair, those growths have progressed all at once I guess.

As for the blessings of the G.o.ddess of Chaos, I dont know much about herShes a fickle person. I wouldnt be surprised if she gave you the blessing simply for the fun of it

Her blessing huh? After what Ive heard about the Divine kin, Id even say shes rather troublesome

Haah. You came from a different world after all. For people in this world, its a big deal to have two Divine Blessings, you know? In Masters case, the G.o.ds have no control over you. Its not like theyre forcing you to do what they say, so just think of it as a useful skill

Ive been ordered around by the G.o.ddess of Chaos before though?

That wasnt using control over the kin, that was just a normal threat with force, right?

Isnt that worse?

Well, I wonder? But, you can try to resist it if youre prepared to die, right?

Whats that? I dont want to die yet!

After all, I cant go against the G.o.ds, right? No, I have no intention of disobeying any G.o.ds other than the Evil G.o.ds. But what if I have to fight a G.o.d? I dont think that would happen. But

Aah. I think badly because I have too much free time on my hands. I tend to be negative when I think too much

Haah. Then, I think you should do more complicated training

Like what?

Its a discipline for novice magician, but it involves controlling basic magic to change form

Change form? Do you mean like thickening up arrow-type magic?

No. What am I talking about is changing its form more finely

Fenrir said so and created a fire arrow in front of himself. However, the arrow immediately changed its shape and transformed into a wolf. It had the added bonus of making a howling motion.

Can you get it? Im not using any magic to transform its shape right now

Yeah

When I strengthen magic or transform it, I put more magic power into it to play with it. However, the transformation Fenrir just performed did not use any extra magic power. In other words, it was the same magic consumption as a normal Fire Arrow.

It seems that if I train my imagery and control of the skill, I can transform the skill without wasting any magic power.

It is said to be a method developed for novice magicians to train without wasting their magic power. By transforming the shape of the magic while maintaining it in the air, they can train their concentration, control, and endurance.

My magic is self-taught, and its nice to be taught these basic training methods. If I keep doing this, even if my skill level doesnt improve, my magic skills might.

This doesnt consume much magic power and has little effect on the a.n.a.lysis. And yet, the more you focus all your attention on it, the more interesting transformations you can make. Its a great way to train and pa.s.s the time

Besides, it looks fun

I tried to transform the Fire Arrow first as Fenrir had done.

Suddenly making it transform into a wolf was impossible for me huh?

First, you need to imagine the shape of it

Sh*t, just you see, Im not going to make just a wolf, Im aiming for Cerberus!

Im looking forward to it
