BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174
Translator: Tseirp
When I regained consciousness, I felt damp earth below me as well as a dull pain in the back of my head .
When I opened my heavy eyelids, I saw a white space in front of my eyes — I thought I had passed away for an instant but that wasn’t the case .
I was currently inside My World .
And while I was in the process of regaining consciousness, Pionia peered at my face .
“Master, have you awaken?”
I answered her question that was posed without any intonation .
“How long was I asleep?”
“About 249 seconds . ”
About 4 minutes — it wasn’t a long duration at all but it was plenty of time for the Leviathan to trample on the island .
“Master, although you’ve just woke up, please assist to release Master Carol . ”
“Carol?”
Then, I noticed Carol who was beside me with a face of agony .
“Carol, what’s wrong!?”
“Her slave collar is constricting her — Please quickly touch the slave collar and loosen it . ”
“O, okay!”
I hurriedly touched her slave collar .
Upon doing so, her expression immediately eased up .
“What exactly happened —”
“A slave attacked their owner . This kind of punishment is natural . ”
” ……… I see . ”
I forgot . Carol was a slave . It was absolutely forbidden for her to resist her owner .
Nevertheless, Carol defied me — this was the price of her actions .
“I’ll apply healing magic immediately —”
“Master, please wait . Master’s magical power has not recovered at all . If you used healing magic now — ”
“I know . But although it’s pitiful, I rather lose consciousness than not do anything now . ”
So I applied Petit Heal on Carol and grandly collapsed .
I woke up again after another 2 hours .
Carol still had not regained consciousness . It was tough not knowing the situation outside .
Perhaps it was already night time outside .
Just as I was thinking that .
“It’s been a long time, boy . ”
Koshmar-sama appeared before my eyes .
I was shocked by her sudden visit but I was also slightly relieved .
“It’s been a long time, Koshmar-sama . ”
“Oya, it’s the first time you didn’t call me an Orc the moment you saw me . ”
“That’s true … I don’t have the leeway to have such thoughts at the moment . ”
“Is that so? … I watched a little of your fight . Sorry, but I can’t exert much power on this present world . ”
“It’s all right, Goddesses seem to have their own rules too so I’m not in the position to question you . ”
If I spoke my true intention, I would want to ask why did the Goddesses not defeat the female too when they defeated the male Leviathan .
“There were various circumstances regarding that incident too . ”
Koshmar-sama said apologetically after reading my thoughts .
“Don’t worry, I brought this upon myself because I was conceited but lacked strength . ”
“The Leviathan is dead . ”
” … Eh?”
The Leviathan is dead . Those words made me speechless .
“What do you … mean?”
After I finally squeezed out those words, Koshmar-sama explained further .
“Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei has resurrected and dealt the final blow to the weakened Leviathan . Incidentally, he/she took that automata you were attached to along with him/her . ” (TL: The sentence was gender neutral . )
” … I’m glad . ”
Instead of getting surprised by the news that Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei has resurrected, I was more relieved by the knowledge that Sheena was all right .
“Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei is currently traveling to Port Kobe . Child, I wish that you head there too . ”
“All right . The Demon Lord is Haru’s — my companion’s benefactor so I also know that the Demon Lord is not just an evil being . I have to thank the Demon Lord for the incident this time after all and I was originally planning to go to Port Kobe too . Did Koshmar-sama come here for the sake of telling me that?”
“No, there’s another troublesome matter . ”
“That’s right, when I reached Lv90, I acquired some strange skill —”
“I am aware of that too — I can’t tell you the specifics at this moment but it is a skill that doesn’t give any problems as long as you don’t use a transfer circle so please go about your daily life without using transfer circles for a while . ”
As suspected, it was because of that skill that I was transferred to the island .
“As a preface, the limit we Goddesses placed on all jobs that we configured is set to be Lv99 . And only a very limited number of jobs can reach Lv99 . For example, the Jobless and Commoner jobs are configured to only reach up to Lv99 . ”
“I see . Then, my Jobless job would reach counter stop soon . ”
“It seems like you have not noticed yet . ”
“Noticed?”
“Child, your Jobless job has reached Lv99 . ”
” … Eh?”
That’s a lie, did my Jobless job reach counter stop without me noticing?
I checked my jobs .
【Jobless Lv99 Fire Magician Lv60★ Water Magician Lv60★ Wind Magician Lv60★ Earth Magician Lv60★】
It was true, it had reached Lv99 . I didn’t notice since I didn’t acquire any skills .
… . Eh?
“Have you noticed? That’s the thing . Even though it should be the level limit, your Jobless job did not reach the peak . That is extremely troublesome . What exactly would happen once you reach Lv100? In the first place, will you even be able to reach Lv100? Even I, as a Goddess, do not know the answer — Of course, I do not intend to stop your growth . On my side, it would be better to have information on it after all . However, remember this . Just like the skill you acquired at Lv90, keep in mind that not all the skills you learn are beneficial to you . ”
Not all skills are my ally …
“Child, it is still not too late . You can still erase the Jobless job with your Job Change skill . The choice is up to you . ”
After saying that, Koshmar-sama began to fade .
Lastly,
“For now, take a good rest . . ”
She left with those words .
Then, I —
