I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless - Chapter 390

Chapter 390

(390) Carol’s pinch

Translator: Tseirp

The two of us headed toward the royal army .

They did not fire arrows at us when we left the gate .

When we arrived at where the royal army was, the soldiers opened a path .

Strangely, despite heading toward the King’s tent, we were not searched to remove our weapons .

I had a bad feeling instead .

“Carol, are you nervous?”

When I asked, she shook her head silently as she held the metal cane carefully .

“I see – but don’t let your guard down . ”

I said and entered the tent .

There, I saw a familiar face .

“I somewhat knew that you would be here – Talwi . ”

The White Wolf race Swordsman who fought with us as companions and was an enemy that I fought against just the other day .

She smiled faintly when she heard me .

Then, I looked at the proud-looking man seated beside Talwi .

The man sporting a beard in expensive-looking clothes only had Talwi as his guard and was seated on a chair that looked expensive as well .

He had that heavy-looking chair brought from the castle all the way here?

“So you are the King of Tsaobal –”

“Indeed . ”

“Dispel!”

I chanted but my magic didn’t activate .

As Carol had predicted, I guess there was a magic sealing barrier up .

“I see, so you think I have been brainwashed . Foolish . Brainwashing will not work on me . ”

“Yeah, I agree that there won’t be much effect . ”

I knew that there was little chance that the King had been brainwashed when I saw him .

After I saw his job .

【Demon Lord: Lv53】

I didn’t know if the King and the Demon Lord was the same person, or that the Demon Lord had taken the form of Tsaobal’s King .

“First will be the match in the presence of His Majesty . ”

Talwi said and drew her sword .

Unlike the ordinary sword from before, it was a sword that gave off an ominous aura .

I guess it was a magic sword .

“I came to talk though . ”

“You came knowing that it would be a trap? That’s a dull reaction . ”

I looked at the Demon Lord from the corner of my eye .

“Talwi, you still wish to fight even after I beat you so badly last time?”

“Of course . ”

“I see – sorry but I won’t hold back . I don’t have time after all . ”

I said and drew White Wolf Fang .

This time, I set all my jobs for physical combat from the beginning .

With this, she won’t be able to stop my attack – or so I thought but she moved many times faster than before and parried my blade .

“You’re faster than before!?”

“You’re gravely mistaken if you think that only you can grow stronger . ”

Talwi swung her sword .

I immediately leaped back but my cheek was slightly cut .

I thought I dodged it completely but a black ripple extended from that magic sword . It was a lot more troublesome than expected .

Her level had not changed much from before but her growth speed was evidently a cheat that surpassed my growth cheat .

I continued to parry her sword but I was left with superficial wounds from the black ripples from the magic sword .

“Ichinojo, how many Berserkers did you fight?”

Talwi laughed as she asked .

“I told you I don’t have time to talk to you – Flash!”

I withdrew my sword and swept it sideways but it only cut the clothes and the skin on her abdomen . It was not a mortal wound .

Despite being hurt, Talwi looked happy .

“Berserkers have the Berserk skill . It is a unique skill that only Berserkers can use . However, when Berserkers reach the peak, they receive the title called the Peak of Berserk and the skill evolves . It changes from a unique skill to an ordinary still and can be activated in any state . ”

“No way, you – but you are not confused!”

“Confused – the people term it like that but that is their way of interpreting it – it is just a state where we are controlled by madness to want to fight the person in front of us . Regular people wouldn’t be able to speak but I am different . ”

Talwi spoke as she slashed as it continuously .

“After all, my heart is always ruled with the desire to fight!”

In other words, she could use the Berserk skill without any of the negative downsides of it .

But how did she return to Beast-Warrior from Berserker? If she wanted to do so, she would have had to level up Atonement-Seeker .

In the first place, how did she max out Berserker in a few days?

She was connected to the Demon Lord acting as the King in some way .

There is always a way .

For example, I farmed experience by defeating high value farmed monsters .

And her method was a lot more evil than I imagined .

“Ichinojo, you have no idea how much I yearned to fight you again – and to fight you again, you have no idea the number of people I killed . ”

“You bastard!”

She killed people to level up .

It was probably not just death row prisoners or criminals .

I swung my sword in anger but it didn’t work .

Because of my exaggerated swing, Talwi took advantage of the gap and thrust her sword at my chest .

“It didn’t cut? So those clothes aren’t ordinary . ”

Talwi narrowed her eyes and looked at my clothes .

The clothes made with the Dark-Elves’ secret technique would redistribute the strike from a sword to the entire body .

So it would avoid a mortal wound but conversely would cause damage over a wider area . It might even cause internal bleeding . Perhaps even some broken ribs .

That said, there’s so much commotion but nobody was entering the tent – were all the guards guarding the tent brainwashed?

If that was the case, escaping here without a plan would be dangerous .

The Demon Lord moved at the edge of my field of view .

As expected, the Demon Lord’s aim was not to call me out to kill me but Carol .

“Carol, run!”

I shouted .

“I knew about your existence from Dakyat . A Mini-Hume Temptress capable of manipulating monsters . I thought you would be a threat – it is a big deal to be able to maintain that transformation within this magic barrier . ”

This guy had already investigated on Carol .

To think that he investigated about Carol’s ability to transform into an adult – no, he already knew about it .

The Succubus true identity was that of Mini-Humus .

“I thought you were trouble . With your ability, you could manipulate the monsters and would be a nuisance to my plan . ”

“Prepare yourself!”

The sword swung by the Demon Lord was not something that could be avoided by ordinary humans .

But she easily avoided it and positioned herself behind the Demon Lord in an instant .

“What!?”

The metal cane suddenly transformed into two daggers .

Then, her temporary appearance of Carol was erased and she regained her original appearance .

“You should prepare yourself instead . ”

The White Wolf race young girl who was my sword and shield – Haru .
