The Gamble

Asther’s strategy is simple. He’s making the weapon feel like crap. He’s making the sword feel like it’s not worth anything. That even though it’s actually an [A+] weapon, the amount of power and relevance that it contains is so small that it almost seems like it doesn’t exist at all. This is the plan. This is the necromancer’s plan. But for this strategy to fully work, Asther still needs one last thing. He needs to prove himself to the weapon.

“You don’t care about the power that I can grant you?” Noir asked.

“No.” Asther said. “Your power might let me finish the enemies quicker but, even without it, I can handle myself perfectly fine.”

“Wait, come to think of it, what is your job class?” The weapon asked.

The ego weapon, although having a consciousness, is not all knowing. Just because it is wielded by a human, does not mean that it will automatically know everything about the human that will possess it.

The only thing that the weapon knows is that Asther has black mana. If the necr

    “You’re a necromancer?”“Didn’t I just tell you to keep quiet?”The necromancer began the fight by distributing his undead Direwolves within the battlefield. The terra golems recognized these as the enemies and began fighting back. Pummeling the Direwolves easily. Even with Asther’s undead being a lot faster and having sharp fangs and claws that are optimized for offense, this means nothing to the defensive capabilities of the terra golems.Hence the fight is already one sided. In favor of the opposing monsters which didn’t have to bother defending because, the Direwolves doesn’t even seem to be dealing any sort of damage at all.“Ha! Look at your sorry state!” Noir said. “You really are all talk.”The ego weapon said this after getting a good look at the battle. Even with everything being this way, Asther isn’t doing anything to change the tides as well. That is why his weapon is ridiculing him and belittling him at that moment. Other than this, the necromancer isn’t even making a si

    Asther continued killing the golems. The poor creatures didn’t even stand a chance against the necromancer. Just like all the monsters that Asther already killed before, these golems didn’t stand a chance against him. With the necromancer finally having the combination that he needs.Asther doesn’t only have his undead. Asther has a sniper rifle. As an assassin back on earth, thee only thing he should prioritize is killing a single target. But that’s just not possible. In Jhinn, Asther can’t just kill the hero. No. The necromancer needs to stack up his kills first. He needs to level up. He needs to get stronger. He needs to acquire all of the necessary materials in order to forge better weapons and equipment. That is what Asther needs. This is the kind of thing that he needs to continue doing.That is why his fighting style back on earth wont work on Jhinn. Once he snipes one target, the others would come for him right after. And this would cause a problem for him. One which Asther wo

    Dark mana enveloped Asther from head to toe. A large amount of it that is twice the size of what consumed Octavia. But, unlike the experience of the female knight, Asther isn’t being hurt by the said mana. Instead, the mana is like nothing more than a cold wind. With a dark purple magic circle glowing right below the necromancer.Asther can easily stop this if it is anything dangerous. All he needs to do is to activate the dark mana canisters and take in all of the dark mana in these containers. But he knows that this isn’t the case. He knows that the mana is not a threat to him and, that is why he allowed whatever was happening to continue.[Filles of the Ego Weapon: Noir are being transferred to the System Interface][Calculating time remaining…][00:00:59][5%]The notifications that came up while Asther is within the burst of dark mana didn’t surprise him anymore. In all honesty, he wasn’t even able to see the full details that comes with his weapons. The overall piercing power. T

    “Focus on the attack!”Claire backed away as Parch dashed in to a group of goblins. Bashing them with his weapon that served as a shield at that moment. With the goblins being momentarily stunned, this is immediately followed by Tyre who swiftly made his way through the file of goblins. Slitting their throats one by one and killing them in a single blow.“That was easy enough.” The thief said after all of the goblins he killed turned into mana particles.“Don’t let your guard down!” Claire said as a group of goblins immediately came up after this.The group would’ve been surrounded by the new group of goblins, if not for Octavia who released a wave of dark mana. Killing a couple of goblins from the left side that gave an opening for the three to escape to.“Hey! Focus!” Octavia barked.The reason why she’s not helping the three is because she already has her hands full with the leaders of the goblins. Yes. Leaders. There isn’t just one but instead, two leaders of these goblins. One of

  • The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World   Meeting Up

    A blast of dark mana enveloped the area where the hobgoblins are standing. This created a whirlwind and, if one looks closely, it can be seen that there are small blades inside of this as well. With a huge force of wind topping it all off as streaks of black lightning also covered the area. It’s easy to know that this is creating some lethal damage based on the screams of these dying creatures. Meanwhile, Octavia and everyone else simply backed away. Waiting for the damage that Octavia created to finish.“They’re dead.” Tyre said.“Yeah? Well we can’t be too sure now can we?” Octavia said in reply.Just like Claire and everyone else, Octavia has learned to expect the unexpected. She learned that, just because things are in her favor, doesn’t mean that she’s won. In a lot of cases, this could also mean that she’s about to lose. And this is a frightening concept that she’s trying to avoid as much as she can. That’s why she’s doing her best in that fight. With all of her allies doing ju

  • The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World   Discussing Plans

    As soon as the group returned to camp, Asther began cooking their food. He’s prepared for this already. With the necromancer knowing just how much his allies would miss his cooking, he already marinated the remained for the direwolf meat that is still left in his dimensional pouch. This didn’t rot at all because, for some reason, time doesn’t seem to work inside the pouch. The necromancer is sure because he didn’t place any preservatives on the meat other than the marinating formula that he keeps on using. But even this shouldn’t have been able to keep the meat at such a fresh state.Asther also thought that there would be more useful applications to this feature of the pouch later on. But, for him to actually use it, he needs to buy a couple more things from the system shop. He knows that there would be other useful items that would be sold there later on. All that he needs to do is continue leveling up in order to increase the variety of his shop.Going back to what is actually happ

    Asther and his allies stood a far distance away from the target that they need to kill. The high orcs are positioned at least half a kilometer away from them. And the only way the group can even see these monsters is because of the same binoculars that the necromancer first handed to his allies. Tools that he didn’t bother taking back anymore because, Asther thinks that this would prove to be very useful for his team.And it did. The item is one of the reasons why all of the missions of his allies thus far has succeeded. This helps them in the tactical aspect right before they begin a fight. Giving them an upper hand by letting them know how many enemies they need to face, what kind of monsters would be waiting for them. As well as potential traps that could be around the area.That moment is no different. Asther and his allies are there to observe for a quick while. The necromancer didn’t give any sort of orders because, he’s technically given the forest to his allies. It is theirs t

    [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
