Explaining Things to the Saintess

Claire doesn’t understand what just happened in the fight. As far as she’s concerned, there’s no good explanation to what just happened. She was winning. She was the one who continued attacking. She was the one who was pinning her opponent against the wall. There was never a part of the fight where Asther was the one coming out on top. From the very start, everything was moving at her pace.

That is why things didn’t make any sense. It was just one moment. Asther suddenly made an attack that didn’t seem to align with everything that was happening. One moment when the spear Claire held suddenly got forced up. With her hands feeling the vibration.

What’s more. The things that happened after that didn’t align in her head as well. It didn’t make sense how Asther was able to advance towards her without worry. As if he was waiting for that moment. As if he knew that this would happen. That there would be an opening where she wouldn’t be able to do anything. And since she can’t think of the e

    All the sparring matches have finally ended. As soon as it did, Asther checked on his notifications. Surely enough, what he wanted to see appeared to him right away. The notification that he needed in order to keep on strengthening his allies.[Congratulations! You have cleared the final requirement to break through to the second stage of the progressing quests. All party members that are under this will now receive their next quest.]This is exactly what Asther needs. This notification is basically everything to him at the moment. Asther needs this because, it is only through it that his allies can continue training in the pace that he wishes. And what is that exactly? It is a pace where they disregard all common sense. Something only possible if they share with Asther’s system function of attaining quests. However, the next notification that came after this is something he didn’t expect.[From this point onwards, all of the progression quests will be shared by the members that have

    There isn’t actually a way for Asther to suddenly get his allies stronger. Leveling overnight is not an option. Nor can they receive skills that easily. And as far as actual combat goes, Asther can’t train them to be master assassins overnight. If he could, then he would’ve done something like this a long time ago. Unfortunately, something like this is too unrealistic.However, it isn’t like he’s entirely out of options as well. There is still something that Asther can do. And, only he can do at that. The necromancer, who is an irregularity of that world, can craft items and weapons for his allies.“Let’s see. What do they need.”Asther’s mind raced through the various weapons that are available on earth. He can’t mate anything that is too far apart from the weapons that his allies are using. But at the same time, he need not restrict himself to the rules of that world. He already proved that this can be bypassed when heh created the Prototype and, he won’t think twice before doing so

    Asther didn’t waste any time and began making the weapons right away. That is what was supposed to happen right after he finished creating the blueprints. Unfortunately, the day is almost done.He can see the warm colors of sunset filling up the forest. Asther still finds it a bit weird that the dungeon also follows the normal intervals of day and night as if it is still part of Jhinn. He didn’t think of this as a nuisance of course. In fact, he thinks that this is actually a good thing because, it reduces the amount of things that he and his allies need to adjust to inside the dungeon. And, because the intervals are the same, this means that Asther needs to head back to camp. It’s time for dinner.“Where have you been?” This is the question Octavia asked as soon as he popped up.“I stayed on the area we used as an arena. Thought I’d get a bit of mind work done there.” The necromancer replied.“And did you?” Claire asked.“Is that even a real question? Of course I did.” Asther replied

  • The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World   Claire's Ego Weapon

    Asther is able to create four new weapons in total. Perfect for his four allies that need to clear the dungeon. It took him roughly three hours to finish crafting these. Not because he encountered great difficulty in doing so but, rather, he had to redo the forging over and over again until he comes across the version that would be a perfect fit for his allies. Namely, weapons of a grade that is at least [C] or higher. And this is exactly what he finished with.[Weapon Name: Sky Piercer][Weapon Type: Ego Spear][Grade: C+][Information: A weapon forged using an unknown method. This weapon holds an incredible amount of power due to the mana core that is used in its creation. Creating a distinct ego of the weapon, giving it a consciousness of its own.][Information: As an ego weapon, the spear will grow in proportion to its wielder. However, the weapon needs to be maintained properly as well.]The first two information given by the weapon is nothing to be concerned about. But, the thir

    Claire Ildefonso stood in the middle of an open field. Wielding her new weapon in her hand, she was given the assignment to eliminate a group of salamanders. These are the same type as the creatures they fought not long ago. Monsters that have an unbelievably high amount of armor, owing to the fact that they have scales which can almost negate any physical damage. As well as lessen the damage that comes from elemental spells.Of course, the greater the monster on this category is, the sturdier the scales would be. And when comparing the giant lizards and the salamanders, the giant lizards have a slightly harder scale compared to the regular salamanders. That is why these are the targets chosen for Claire and, the saintess understands this too of course.Claire has her eyes set on her targets already. The salamanders are scattered around the area of the trees outside the open field. Meanwhile, she’s there openly exposing herself to her enemies. As for Asther, he’s simply spectating fro

  • The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World   Claire's Ego Weapon III

    Claire isn’t able to finish the battle unscathed. Due to the fighting style that she needed to use to entertain her spear, she sustained a couple of hits by the projectiles emitted by the regular salamanders.One of these reached her arm. Thankfully, it wasn’t her spear wielding arm that was hit. Of course both hands are used to wield the weapon. But it wasn’t the primary wielding one which was damaged. At the same time, since the arm that was hit is only used to support the primary one, she is still able to use her weapon with some minor setbacks only.Then there’s her left leg. This sustained two hits during the whole interval of the fight. As such, it greatly impaired the movements that Claire could make. In fact, there were a lot of moments within the fight when Claire would suddenly stop for a split second due to the pain that she felt from her leg.Thankfully enough, she only sustained these injuries when the fight was nearing its end already. That is why there wasn’t much of a

    “That’s one hell of a performance you pulled right there.” Asther said, finally approaching Claire.While watching, it didn’t come as a surprise to Asther that the weapon didn’t cut through the salamanders in one go. After all, he figured that the weapon might actually attempt to test the saintess out. And from how the fight went, he knew that he’s right. This is the only explanation as to why the weapon didn’t cut through the salamanders like butter after all.“You really watched until the end huh?” Claire said with a bit of amusement.“Of course.” Asther said. “I am a man of my words after all.”Asther threw a health potion at Claire. The saintess caught this easily with her hand. She already knows what this is as well. With how long she’s been fighting alongside the necromancer inside that dungeon, there has been multiple instances where she needed to use one of these. Courtesy of Asther of course.At first, this potion seemed suspicious to her. She didn’t even want to chug it down

    The next one on Asther’s list is Tyre. He didn’t actually want to go with the Thief next. For what it’s worth, Asther actually intended to go with Octavia as the next one he’d test out. However, the knightess is somehow a special case. Making her someone that Asther should save for last. And the reason for this would be revealed as soon as she’s given her new weapons.Hence, Asther Shadow Dived back to their base. He immediately picked out Tyre who already has a rough idea of what’s going to happen. Asther did brief all of them about the new weapons during breakfast after all.Thus the thief eagerly followed Asther to where they needed to go. Namely, the same part of the forest where Asther went to talk with Claire about her weapon. At that very same moment, the saintess is already beginning her additional training on the use of her new weapon. Moving to a new nest of monsters within that forest.“Tyre.” Asther began.“Yes sir.” The thief answered.“These will be your partners from no

    [Notice: The quest, Defeat the Forest Guardians have been updated.][Forest Guardians defeated: 2/3]“Well, that’s a surprise.”Asther read this message as soon as he finished clearing up two more monster camps. The necromancer used the same combination that he did earlier on. He used the domain of the high ogre bloodbornes in order for his operation to go unnoticed and, as for the source of damage, Asther made use of something else this time around. He made use of his Direwolves and made these fight against the monsters over and over again.The necromancer did this in order to put a little test into practice. Surely enough, it yielded him positive results. But before we move on to this part of the story, let us first focus on the necromancer’s reaction to the news about his allies.Asther knew that this would happen sooner or later. After all, these are individuals that he trained himself. Apart from this, they are also partially blessed with the system. With the party function apply

    Against a Wyvern II

    The wyvern screamed from the amount of pain it experienced from the attack. This much is acceptable because, after all, it has finally been wounded. The wyvern probably never had any damage all of its life due to its thick scales. But there it is now, finally receiving the first bit of damage after a long time. And it isn’t even a slight scratch at that. The attack that hit it, dug deep into its flesh. Opening up a wound and leaving a burning sensation that drove the creature crazy.It began to flail its body around. The wyvern thrashed the pillars with the wild sweeping of its tail. This is accompanied by the swinging of its arms. Destroying almost the same number of pillars that its tail is capable of.This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to follow up the attack. If not for the fact that the frenzied state of the monster isn’t something that they can easily get close to. Nor would Claire and her allies chose to do so because of how dangerous it all looked. Since the monster is

    Against a Wyvern

    Blood red wings that seem to burn under the sunlight. Gleaming yellow eyes which pierced through everything it gazes upon. Crystal like claws that are sharp enough to make anyone uncomfortable just from looking at them. Scales that seem sturdier than any outward armor that a golem could ever fathom. A tail long and whip like. With flames coming out of it.This is the full form of the wyvern that Claire’s team needs to face. Fortunately for them, they didn’t die from the attack that the creature made. This is because the saintess shielded them from the blow. Claire made use of her powers. Creating a barrier that can only be mustered by someone as her. A person that has been chosen by one of the deities. She used all of the mana of light that she can borrow from her generous benefactress, creating a type of barrier that can negate a certain amount of damage.Thankfully, it is strong enough to block the entirety of the blow. Breaking just as soon as the breath of flames ended and, leavin

    The Second Forest Guardian

    The fight is finally reaching the part where Claire is intending it to reach. The final part. The climax, if it can even be called that. With less than forty enemies needing to be defeated, Claire’s team is now in a position where they can continue the fight with less tension. Of course they still need to focus on taking down all of their enemies but, since there are now less than when they started off with, it removes a lot of the problems that they initially had as well.These including the continuous use of earthquake to change the terrain in their favor. This also includes the fact that they needed to put out flames and magma which, will now be greatly reduced as well. With all of this being said, there is one more problem that can rise for the group. Actually, this is the only real problem and threat for the group. The guardian of the forest and the leader of this group of monsters. The Blood Basilisk.The group doesn’t know that this is the type of basilisk that they need to fac

    Judgement and Crucifixion

    The fight continued to move in the favor of Claire and her allies. There is nothing that their opponents could do about them anymore. Everything continued moving in the direction that Claire intended it to. Almost as if she has full control of everything that is happening at that moment. But aside from this, there’s also the fact that she’s doing her best in raising her awareness of the whole surroundings. Her level isn’t as good as Asther’s of course. She can never match the level of the necromancer. Nevertheless, she is still on a level which is acceptable. On a level where it can be said that they will not easily lose to the likes of the basilisks that they are facing.“What else do we need to do your highness?” The two soldiers asked as soon as they are finished with their task.“We need to reduce the number of basilisks as quickly as we can. Otherwise, we’d probably go through the same thing again.”As she said this, Claire watched Octavia hold back a total of twenty basilisks al

    Almost a Perfect Strategy

    Just like the camp of the Direwolves, there are at least a hundred rampaging basilisk that are within the nest of the guardian. This much can be expected because it is the nest of the guardian after all. But even if this is so, there is not much difficulty on the part of Claire and her allies. Making them all feel that this is somehow unreal.Sure they don’t have the assistance of Asther’s undead anymore. This allows the basilisks to attack them more freely and adding to the number of the creatures that can come at them. However, the pillars that Parch created, as well as the disfigurement of the ground are enough to make the basilisks have a hard time attacking them.Unlike these monsters, the group isn’t that bothered with the terrain shifting in this manner. By this time they are already used to the tremors created by parch. And while the other thing that it creates is something that is relatively new to the group as well, the fact still remains that they are prepared for it. That

    Drawing Blood

    “Hey slowpokes hurry up!”Tyre commented as soon as he killed the first monster. He hasn’t done this before because it is always either Claire or Octavia that makes the first kill. That is why he feels proud of himself for being able to do this. Yet, this pride of his didn’t last long because of the events that happened next.Right as the first basilisk fell, the shadow of a person could be seen on the ground, coming from up high. Some of the basilisks looked towards this direction and saw Octavia. The female knight has already charged her claymore with dark mana. And without a moment of hesitation, she fired this at the basilisks.Five of the creatures are unfortunate enough to make contact with the spell. This isn’t able to kill them because of the same thing that Tyre had trouble with. They have armor that is thicker than normal. Nevertheless, the same attack is able to create an opening on their backs.Octavia isn’t able to make her secondary attack right away since the other basi

    Striking Down First Blood

    [Rampaging Basilisk]This is the class of the monster that Claire and her allies needs to face. They do not have any sort of system analysis which they can use to see the full details of the monsters but, it’s not like they need to. Yes this would help in making the fight more advantageous for them but, as it is, the fight is already going in their favor.Even without seeing what the basilisks are fully capable of, Claire knows the general capabilities of basilisks already. The same is true with her allies. And although there are added features to basilisk that aren’t part of the regular version, this difference would only cause a bit of problem at best. After all, Claire and her allies have their ego weapons which they can use. Weapons that would allow them to win easier in that fight because of the overwhelming strength contained on every weapon.“So, you think we should start the fight already?” Octavia asked.The group is positioned behind a bush. Unlike the other areas of fights

    Claire and Her Team

    While Asther advanced with his plans on the canyon, his allies also did the same. Claire and the others have wiped out another monster nest during the time that Asther has been away from them. They can only cover this much because, only a day has passed since Asther left. Plus, there is also the fact that Claire is still trying to internalize everything that the necromancer told her. About him being chosen by the god of war who, is a benefactor of the demon lord. And how Asther has been given a mission to kill the same creature disguising himself as the hero.Yet this alone is not enough to make Claire forget her duties to the group. She is still able to lead proficiently. There are a couple of mistakes and errors along the way of course. However, this is not enough to make Claire forget about her duties and responsibilities. Allowing the said mistakes to only be minimal.Right after the hunt, the group went back to camp by foot. This allowed Claire to have time to think. To erase tho
