"Crackle~"
The forest at night always gave people a strange feeling. Fire could drive away weak monsters, but for some powerful monsters, it would only arouse their anger. Not to mention that some fire-attribute monsters liked fire. It could be said that lighting a fire in the depths of the forest at night was not a good choice.
But for Lancer, who was very skilled and brave, it was not a difficult choice. Even if some troublemakers appeared, he could take the opportunity to farm some quartz, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't lure out a monster but a powerful mysterious woman instead.
Suddenly, Lancer had a flash of inspiration!
He finally knew why he could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him was not simple, because she felt very similar to his master!
Of course, it was only a resemblance, because his master gave him a more mysterious feeling, like the bottom of a deep sea that people could not explore at all, while the person in front of him could at least be seen a little. But the biggest common point was that they were both young and beautiful, but they both emitted an ethereal feeling as if they had seen through the world.
But just as he was thinking about how to escape, he suddenly found that the strange feeling gradually disappeared. Then he found that the other person was staring straight at the grill in Tiger's hand.
Instantly, his survival instinct made him perform a series of very fluid actions——————
"Please!"
"I'm so sorry..."
Although she said she was sorry, Arianrhod's hand movements were not slow at all. She grabbed the hot barbecue together with the rack.
Watching Arianrhod eating heartily, Lancer breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Tiger next to the grill.
"Tiger! I'll change your name! How about 'Long Aotian'?"
"Meow?"
Tiger still couldn't quite understand his master's intermittent madness.
Eating the freshly grilled barbecue, and when it got a bit greasy, there was the 'cold bitter tomato salad' that had been prepared in advance. After she was about 70-80% full, a bowl of stewed small fish porridge was placed in front of her. Looking at Tiger holding the bowl, Arianrhod couldn't help but rub his head.
"Thank you for the meal."
"Meow~!"
Compared to the lazy Alu and Jack who was obsessed with swordsmanship, Tiger preferred to cook, and the praise from the diner was the best reward.
Looking at Tiger who was sitting next to Lancer happily, even Arianrhod couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
Before, when she saw his cold expression during the killing, she was worried whether he would completely fall into the Asura's Path. Now it seemed that she had worried too much. With such good companions, he should not walk that path.
Compared to Arianrhod who was in a good mood, Lancer was terrified for a long time. Even his usual favorite dinner became tasteless. But just as he was secretly looking at the other party, he suddenly found that the other party was gone.
This discovery made him freeze.
She suddenly appeared, and then suddenly disappeared.
'Did I just see a ghost?'
Most people probably wouldn't feel the reality of a 'ghost', but for Lancer, who had stayed in the Land of Shadows for a long time, this was not something that was unacceptable.
But what surprised him even more was a small book in the place where the other party had been sitting.
"Nameless Occult Art Scroll·Damaged"
"Skill·Earth Thunder Hammer————requires practice"
"Skill·Gale Thunder Flash————requires practice"
"Skill·Sweep a Thousand Armies————requires practice"
"Skill·Storm and Gale Spear————requires practice"
Holding the book in his hand, Lancer's expression was extremely subtle.
"Is this the so-called welfare?"
Since he was talking to himself, no one came to answer him, but in fact, no one needed to. The existence of these skills was the best evidence. The main reason he was so surprised was that he didn't expect the so-called 'welfare' to be so simple and crude. After all, in the first world, he only got it after completing a series of tasks until the end. The last time, he received two months of Spartan training. This time...
"Whatever, I'm satisfied to have it."
There were a total of four skills, and the most special one was 'Earth Thunder Hammer'. It wasn't because it was the most powerful, but because this one was a pure magic attack, while the other three were physical. He would skip it for now. He was more interested in the other three moves.
The attack of 'Gale Thunder Flash' was to use aura for a linear attack and then detach the aura from the weapon after the attack to knock the opponent flying.
'Sweep a Thousand Armies' was the most simple and easy to understand. The effect was to swing the lance to drive away enemies who were close to him. Lancer himself also had a similar move, but it was not as specific as this one.
As for the last one, 'Storm and Gale Spear', it was an upgraded version of Lancer's previous 'Triple Thrust', and the attack range was larger, which could be used for group attacks.
And the most special thing about these four moves was that the most suitable weapon for them was the 'lance'!
Lancer had never paid much attention to the lance. After all, under Scathach's guidance, although his 'skills' were upgraded, and theoretically had a strengthening effect on all spear-type weapons, the long spear that Scathach herself used was undoubtedly the most strengthened. And the lance, which Lancer originally used for breaking through defenses, fell into an awkward situation. In the end, it became a prop for his disguise. But now it seemed to have a chance to return to the sequence of his main combat weapons.
Lancer was instantly filled with anticipation.
"Tiger! Jack! Alu! I'll have to rely on you later!"
The three cats who were called looked confused, as if they didn't know what was happening, but they still nodded. After all, their job was to follow Lancer's arrangements.
On the other side, although Arianrhod had suddenly left, she was still hiding nearby.
Before, she had a sudden idea to leave a part of her summary of the occult art scroll because the other party also used spear-type weapons. Even if he couldn't learn it, he could still learn some things based on them. But she didn't expect that Lancer would use a special magic to take out a lance.
'Space magic? Could it be that the other party has the bloodline of a 'witch'?'
Although she was a little curious, she had no intention of showing herself.
'It's not that simple to learn my moves. I wonder what will happen after a while?'
This time, she came to the border of the Republic to scout in advance for 'that plan'. She still needed to stay here for a while, so she had already decided to observe Lancer again before she left.
But looking at Lancer who was excitedly taking the three cats to trouble the monsters, a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
'A hardworking young man like this should be fine.'
