Gold-Rank Adventurer: Thank you very much, @Ordinary High School Student, @Future Holy Sword User, for coming to save me. If there's anything I can do for you, I definitely won't hesitate.
Future Holy Sword User: If you can successfully become a Holy Sword User and share your experiences with me, I would be very grateful!
Railgun: What kind of product is the handgun you used? It felt much more powerful than a regular handgun, and it didn't need reloading.
Future Holy Sword User: This is a magical device from our world. It only needs to be filled with mana to fire.
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: By the way, what exactly are Chat Group points for?
Ordinary High School Student: Currently, they can only be exchanged for World Teleportation Anchor Points. The world where the Gold-Rank Adventurer is located is quite helpful to me.
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: What do you mean?
Ordinary High School Student: It means I can go to the Gold-Rank Adventurer's world anytime, anywhere... He didn't continue to reply to the Dimensional Chat Group's messages, mainly because there was nothing to hide about the World Teleportation Anchor Point. Going to the Goblin Slayer World
was a situation where he was unfamiliar with the place.
If Shiraishi could offer some hospitality, it would save him a lot of trouble.
After being teleported back to his original world, his landing spot remained unchanged, and the flow of time in the world was no different; it was now close to midnight.
"It's about time to head back…"
Shiraishi Kawa shook his head lightly; there was no lingering resentment in the dark streets that had been purged, and after clearing out the Goblins…
For such low-experience specters,
He genuinely had no intention of making a move. After leaving the alley and finally having some free time, he decisively opened his profession panel.
"Profession 3: Holy Sword User Lv4 (1967/20000)"
"Core Skill: Shinra Bansho Lv3 (7901/10000)"
"Basic Skills: Mana Tempering Lv1, Mana Emission Lv2"
"Skill Points: 3"
"Evolution Points: 3"
Skill points, as the name suggests, are used to raise skill levels, as some skills cannot gain experience points and can only be improved through practice.
Similar to an Exorcist's Adamantine Body.
However, there was no longer any need to improve the former profession. Shiraishi Kawa focused his attention on the basic skill within the Holy Sword User profession: Mana Tempering.
It is a body-forging skill that improves overall physical fitness and Mana.
"Add points."
"Basic Skill: Mana Tempering level increased!"
"Lv1 → Lv4"
"Next up is the attribute panel."
Evolution points are not used to upgrade professions, but rather to improve overall physical attributes. After all, it's something he gets for free after leveling up.
To put it simply, it's Deep Blue! Add points!
After opening his attribute panel, the data presented before him was completely different from the profession panel, detailing Shiraishi Kawa's information.
"Name: Shiraishi Kawa"
"Gender: Male"
"Age: 17"
"Constitution: 11"
"Agility: 9"
"Strength: 10"
"Intelligence: 11"
"Spirit: 8"
"Currently Mastered Professions: Student (Lv5), Exorcist (Lv5), Holy Sword User (Lv4)"
…"There's an extra attribute!"
Shiraishi Kawa quickly scanned the profession panel, his gaze finally settling on the Spirit attribute, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He knew very well.
This attribute… he didn't have it before awakening as a Holy Sword User. Was it because the essence of the Holy Sword User profession was to transform soul power into a weapon, which is why the Spirit attribute appeared?
Adhering to the idea of being a five-dimensional warrior,
He didn't hesitate to evenly distribute the evolution points gained from increasing his profession level to his Agility and Spirit attributes, bringing all his stats above 10.
"…"
The increase in Agility didn't have a particularly intuitive effect, but the increase in Spirit was the most obvious, making his thoughts and mind clearer.
This kind of improvement is difficult to describe abstractly.
Perhaps the ultimate feedback will be in the Holy Sword Shinra Bansho aspect?
"Let's go back first."
Shiraishi Kawa wasn't in a hurry to practice. The Dimensional Chat Group had already opened the world teleportation function, and he could master it by taking some time to visit the Goblin Slayer World.
Currently… what he most looked forward to was using the Mana Tempering skill of the Holy Sword User profession. He just didn't know if this thing could directly bring about a numerical increase.
Walking back down the street,
It was almost 11 PM, so besides drunken individuals, there were few pedestrians strolling in the streets. At the other end of the street,
A figure in homewear with soft black hair walked, stopping frequently.
She occasionally stopped to clutch her stomach.
"What Shiraishi-kun said must be right. As long as I pretend not to see these specters, they can't do anything to me."
Nighttime.
For Yotsuya Miko, it was an absolute taboo. The number of specters wandering the streets increased sharply, and they followed her closely… After moving to Chiba City to live alone,
Her living arrangements weren't perfectly settled yet, and the pain, possibly from an upset stomach, made it truly impossible for her to endure any longer.
She had no choice but to brace herself and go out to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicine.
However… as soon as she left the pharmacy, a specter radiating a powerful grudge followed closely behind her. Its face, stitched up with needle and thread,
Emanated a strong foul odor.
In fact, this specter would occasionally walk in front of her, asking with its eerie figure, "Can you see me?"
The streetlights ahead were somewhat dim.
Yotsuya Miko had completely clenched her teeth, holding back the tears welling in her eyes, not wanting the specter following her to notice anything unusual.
"Someone…"
"Can you save me?"
"Anyone at all!"
The following evil spirit seemed to sense Yotsuya Miko's inner fear. It didn't continue to follow behind her but instead walked in front of her.
With its grotesque face, it said chillingly, "You really… can see me?"
"…"
Experiencing a double assault on her mind and body, Yotsuya Miko was nearing her limit. She lowered her head, wanting to continue walking forward.
This already dim street.
Not constantly observing changes in the road, her head accidentally bumped into the person in front… She must have… been seen by the specter… so she bumped into it?
With a strong feeling of exhaustion, Yotsuya Miko directly fell to the ground, unable to imagine what awaited her, but a moment later,
There was no suffocating sensation depicted in horror movies.
"…"
Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but look up, and standing before her was an extremely familiar young figure, holding a trembling specter in his hand.
His slightly furrowed brows seemed to be contemplating how to deal with this specter.
And when Shiraishi Kawa noticed that the person who bumped into him was Yotsuya Miko, a classmate, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
His hand movements, however, didn't stop at all. Relying solely on the brute force of his Adamantine Body, this evil spirit was directly torn to shreds. As the grudge disappeared,
It completely lost any proof of its existence in the world.
"Yotsuya-san, I think I forgot to tell you something…"
He said in a relaxed tone, "The best way to overcome fear is to face it. See, this specter isn't as scary as you imagined!"
