Chapter 336 Part 3
《【Two-handed Sword】Level Up!》
It already leveled up?!
Well, that’s fine, but…
My opponents were a Guardian General – Kongara-douji with three Dokkakus and around 20 Gohous.
I think these are fine opponents for trying out my new sword.
But you know.
It didn’t feel like I was trying a new sword.
It was more like trying out a new club!
Rather than cutting them down with a sword, it felt as if I was smashing them with a large ax.
That’s right.
There’s no skill involved.
It’s just a matter of brute force!
I can’t really complain about the results, but…
In terms of technique, I’m a little unsatisfied.
Is it really okay for this to be this easy?
The blade itself is long and thick.
Its high Destructive Power makes it very appealing to use, but…
It’s difficult to control.
It’s definitely not suitable for very detailed fighting styles.
If anything, it should be used in a similar way to a Snow Beast’s Mace.
Yeah.
It’s not bad.
What are my most immediate goals?
I want to get used to seeing how far I can control this Indra’s Secret Sword.
There are also some things I haven’t tried yet.
Like, what if I use Boosted Power?
What kind of power will this weapon have?
It’s scary.
It’s scary, but I want to see it.
It’s not like this is some kind of horror movie, but…
Should I refrain from trying that for the time being?
《【Two-handed Sword】 Level Up!》
Oh, again!
The opponent was a Level 1 Deva Warlord, which is good.
But, you know…
I’m the one being wielded by the weapon a little too much!
It seems this weapon will indeed take some time to get used to.
The contradiction here is that while the results are solid, I’m still dissatisfied with myself.
It’s frustrating, but that’s the truth.
I have to do something about this quickly.
Even with my strengthening spells, I feel like I’m losing to the weapon in terms of power.
To think that, despite having a good weapon in my hand, it would be it that is wielding me and not the other way around!
《【Two-handed Sword】Level Up!》
《【Lava Magic】Level Up!》
Well, I went and did it.
That’s right.
I used Boosted Power.
My opponent was a Level 3 Deva Warlord.
It was a tough one.
Undoubtedly the strongest opponent on this Map.
Neither I nor my Summoned Monsters emerged from this battle unscathed.
But the Indra’s Secret Sword reinforced with Boosted Power was extraordinary.
That’s right.
I don’t think this victory was because of my own strength.
It was because I had this Indra’s Secret Sword.
Not yet.
I’m still not satisfied!
Let’s also bring Jericho back here.
He’s already suffering from a stat penalty.
Jericho is very strong, but…
Its HP bar is below half.
And its stats are also halved.
Although it can use its Liquefaction, it cannot keep it active all the time.
It took a painful blow as it returned to its original form.
So who will be replacing Jericho?
Let’s summon Senki.
Am I gradually running out of leeway?
Without a doubt, yes.
But that’s why I should continue to take on challenges.
There are experience points to be gained.
Appropriate risks must be taken.
But above all else, it’s so frustrating…
Is there any way for me to be able to use this weapon better?
I’m switching the magic skill I’ve set to Dust Magic and continuing the hunt.
We cannot afford to back down like this.
But what do I think of such a big weapon?
The Deva Warlords can swing it with one hand.
And it’s also true that, without Boosted Power, it’s difficult to use my Joint Lock techniques against the Deva Warlords.
They often break free with their sheer power alone.
Despite being smaller than Jericho and Senki, the Deva Warlords were evenly matched to them in terms of power.
That’s impressive.
As for me, I can barely fight them properly due to their size.
I want to become stronger, but I don’t want to grow larger.
A two-handed sword, huh?
Just like with a club, should I try using it with an empty mind?
《【Two-handed Sword】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Setsui』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
I changed my approach.
No, it would be more appropriate to say that I changed my mindset.
It feels strange because I always saw this kind of weapon as nothing but a longer, bigger version of a normal sword or katana.
I’ve now stopped trying to force myself to control it.
Rather, I traced the trajectory that the two-handed sword wanted to follow.
That’s right.
It’s not about putting your ego into your weapon.
That’s a common lesson that can be applied to every weapon!
Let the weapon dance.
Let the body flow.
Let the mind be as stern as a mountain and as calm as the sea.
The trick is to keep all three of them connected.
In short, treat it as a huge weapon to be swung around.
Whoops, I almost forgot about the Info screen.
Setsui’s SPI increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose STR as her second stat increase.

So Setsui is getting the Charm skill, huh?
Well, she certainly looks attractive to me.
But will other monsters find her attractive?
I can’t really tell.
Well, Setsui needs to be replaced here.
Her MP bar is less than 10%.
That’s because she’s been using it extravagantly!
Let’s recall Setsui.
And summon Ninetails to replace her.
It’s 4:40 PM.
How far can we go by evening?
《【Dust Magic】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Taylor』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Yeah.
I’ve picked up an Indra’s Secret Sword.
But, you know…
I actually wanted another Tokkosho.
Not that I’m in a position to complain or anything, though.
Taylor’s VIT increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose STR as his second stat increase.

Alright then.
Taylor, what is that Bubble Wave skill?
Let’s see it through battle!
《Summoned Monster『Ignis』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Well…
I’ve let my guard down.
To say that all I wanted to do was check what the effect of Taylor’s Bubble Wave was would be just an excuse.
At least I didn’t die.
Ignis’ AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose STR as his second stat increase.
And let’s also choose Earth Attribute for his new empty skill slot.
This has been the default route thus far.
Ignis Fighting Falcon Lv6 → Lv7 (↑1)

So, did something happen to me?
Yes.
I’ve been affected by a stat penalty.
This is entirely on me for letting myself get carried away.

Well, I messed up.
That’ll be all for today.
By the way, what is Taylor’s Bubble Wave?
It’s literally froth coming out of his mouth.
That’s all.
No, this frothing off Taylor’s mouth apparently has some kind of support skill attached to it.
I don’t really understand it.
He’s tried covering his entire body with it.
He’s tried covering the ground with it..
I did confirm that this can cause a Deva Warlord to lose its footing.
Although this also caused it to hit me directly with its own Indra’s Secret Sword.
Was this an accident?
No, it’s definitely a result of my own carelessness.
The time is 6:10 PM.
As a way to punish myself, I’ll refrain from enjoying a meal prepared by Bunraku.
Let’s make do with Portable Food instead.
Let’s also deploy an Instant Portal.
I’m just going to repair our equipment before logging out.
Things don’t always go smoothly.
