Chapter 284 - The Spiritualization of Zeal

“Thunder clap."

After making the move I released the spirit magic. Then, a violent thunder rumbled a short distance in front of me. A thunderous roar sounded. This would attract the monsters as before.

"Eh, Sophie?”

"Magical Transference."

As I was preparing my sword for the coming monsters, Sophie suddenly began to prepare her magic. And with that magic, the trees around us were crushed with a roar.

“Now it's wider and easier to fight, isn't it?”

“Uh, yeah...thanks."

It has certainly made it easier to fight, but I also think that the increased visibility has made it easier for monsters to find us. Until now, there would have been monsters that would have come up to us at the sound, but would have turned back because they didn’t know our detailed location. However, such monsters have probably disappeared now.

And since the roar was as loud as my thunder, even so, more monsters would come close.

“Spiritualization, devilfication, beastification."

This time I did the spiritualization with Zeal. My state was closer to being thunder than being clothed in lightning.

And just in time, three monsters of the first group came. I immediately went hunting.

“Oh...damn!"

““Gee!"”

I tried to stop in front of the monsters, but I passed by. It seems that even if I just passed by, there’s still a bit of damage from the lightning. But that only numbs them a little and is far from a fatal wound. This time, considering the current speed of movement, I approached the monsters and slashed at them.

Thud Thud Thud！！！！

“Alright! Let's do it!"

I was a little excited by the sound of many footsteps and went to defeat the monsters.

“Ha!"

“”Geee..."”

After about 30 minutes of fighting, I realized something. It's a little difficult with Yug, but I found out that the spiritualization is easier to use with Zeal.

In the case of Yug, there are too many things I can do, for better or worse. I have to constantly think about what is the best thing to do at any given moment. Even if I think about multiple options at the same time, I can only do one or two things at a time. Therefore, deciding on one from many options inevitably takes time, if only a little.

On the other hand, in the case of Zeal, there’s only one thing that can be done, which is lightning. Therefore, there’s less to think about, and thinking is simpler. In addition, my agility is higher than in Yug’s case. However, everything else is higher in Yug.

In a melee like this one, the situation is constantly changing, so it is better to spiritualize with Zeal, where thinking is simpler. And when fighting someone like Sophie who is unpredictable, it is better to spiritualize with Yug where I have more cards in my hand. So it's case by case.

But for me, who is a little bit brainy, it is easier to fight with Zeal’s Spiritualization..

“What is this? Is it a territorial dispute between monsters? It doesn't look like humans are fighting..."

I could faintly hear Elira's voice.

Now I'm running around here and there in this place, which has become bigger thanks to Sophie. Furthermore, I’m also using Darki's psychokinesis to make sudden stops. And even in close combat, I’m swinging my legs and sword and doing lightning attacks. It’s true that I move in an inhuman way, but I’m proud that I’m not as bad as a monster.

“Picon! 』

『Title acquired [Unlimited Freedom]』

As I was thinking about this while fighting, an announcement rang out in my head that I had acquired a new title. The fact that I could clearly hear the announcement, which I usually couldn’t hear during a battle, must mean that I was able to fight with more margin than usual. I continued to fight with such thoughts in my mind.

“Piccone! 』

『Your level has been raised』

“Eh?"

The moment I heard that announcement, all my thoughts stopped. This was the announcement I had been waiting for in months.

“Zero-kun! You're running out of magic power!”

“Oh, no.”

I seemed to have unintentionally forgotten to supply magic power. I hurriedly resumed supplying magic power at Yug's request. I was curious to see how much my status had improved, but for now, I had to defeat all of these monsters first. We have already been fighting for more than an hour, so I wonder if the rush of these monsters will be over in a little while.

『Picone! 』

『Levels have been raised』

Hmm? Just when I was about to finish defeating all the monsters, my level went up again. How much experience did that goddess take away for evolution?

“Thank you for your hard work, Nii-sama.”

“Thank you."

After all, I had been fighting alone for two hours. I was so excited that I was able to raise my level by two. I displayed my status with glee.
