Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Bear Aftermath & Outfit of the Ruinous Demon

YES!! Take that, you lousy bear! What a great way (not) to end a quest! But I should start thinking about getting some better offensive moves sooner or later.

The final, burning giant of bear fur and muscles collapsed to the ground as its HP reached 0. Phew. That was rough. It feels good just having to defeat the enemies instead of having to hunt them down, but the fact that we're not getting any EXP because it's part of a quest is infuriating!! 

Eh, whatever. I got lots more AP than I expected, plus some bonuses. Glad I summoned Nala and had her defend the veggies with her water shields. 

According to the BBS, these "Skill-Up Crystals" are supposed to be an upgraded version of the Skill-Up Potion. The crystals work easily even on T-2 skills, but if they're used on a T-1 skill...

Success! 2 levels for 1 pebble! And it was luckily one of the types that don't randomly level-up stuff either. If it was, there would be no guarantee whether it would hit a T-1 skill or a T-2 skill. Too bad general-type skills such as [Identification] don't count as T-1 skills when it comes to these rocks. It is still possible to use the crystals on them, but only for a single level. Cheapskates...

Yeah, luck is with me today. So it's better to not be too cocky. I used the 2nd crystal on [Paranormal Sight] again to elevate it to Lv.10 before giving the last one to Nala. She's earned it. Even if I wanted to use that rock on my [Charisma] or my [Leadership] skill...

Unlike me, Palug seems to be hungry for more bear stew. Because he's initiated a second quest chained to the one we just cleared. Yup, that's right. He used his Extra Medal.

A new bear, bigger and worse than the first bunch came out of the caverns and walked toward the veggie garden. Palug jumped up to greet the bear with his blade, but he was brilliantly parried by a giant saber that the bear was carrying. A saber bear? That's new.

A red forcefield surrounded the two beast swordsmen, preventing the rest of us from assisting. 

"Engarde, foul knave!" - Palug

Welp, someone is having the time of his life. Let's move along. Nothing to see here. It was Palug who managed to defeat the commander-type bear after we lured it out by killing enough bears, so he must have been the only one who got the chance to initiate the Trial Quest because I got nothing like that. Meh, I'll save him the humiliation of being defeated in front of everyone. Tata~.

"Are you leaving already?" - Siel

"That is the bonus match. Nothing that I need to worry about..., and when did you arrive?" - Garami

It's the vampire kunoichi again. 

"Around the time when the fox-lady finished drinking the first barrel of MP recovery potion." - Siel

Speaking of which, Aino has been the secret MVP in this quest. Without her anti-heat protection spells, the bears would have enjoyed a nasty barbeque by now. The fox was the first one to leave the fields when the quest was over though. I think she said something about wanting to take a bath IRL. 

"And what are you here for anyway?" - Garami

"I wished to buy today's produce from the farm." - Siel

Ah, right. It's the favorite snack for her leader. 

"Don't let me hinder you." - Garami

"Far from it. I should rather thank you for making it possible to have any at all." - Siel

The vampire looked at the battlefield, scorched black from the bears' Magma-type attacks. True, it was a difficult battle. I NEVER want to do it ever again!! At least let me use my webs...*sniff*.

"Also, the clan head wished to give you this." - Siel

Hmm? A letter? Let's see...hmm...okay...huh? ...For real? ......Oho~?

"Tell him I'll have to think about it." - Garami

"As you wish. Then, have a good day." - Siel

...!? Siel just disappeared right in front of me! No smoke bombs or whatever! Is this what a ninja can do? ...I need to consider giving Nyx a crash course on that subject.

Let's see...7 AP. Is that enough? ...Tch, it's not enough. I need some more before I can move on to phase 2. Advance-tier classes! 

*Ring!*

Oh, that's my alarm. Guess it's time to sleep. Wow, time sure flies when you're having fun butchering bears... Okay, it wasn't as "fun" as it was "fatally scary", but you know the drill. Good night.

The next day:

...Why do I feel that these items more than cover the loss of my eyesight already with only this item?

As for the next item of interest..., it has to be this one. What can the main culprit of my recent stress do?

Not much, from the look of it! But it's still cool. Maybe the blindfold is improving my 3D map from [Paranormal Sight] somehow? And a self-recovery effect based on what ailment effects one has? Pretty nice touch there.

Hmm, the sleeves seem to have replaced the gloves in both name and function. I'm not 100% sure, but it feels like it gives a boost to STR as well, based on the description's last line. Though, it's probably limited to the arms only.

The boots don't seem that different from before. 

This one here feels like a power-up. I vaguely remember that the old cloak boosted Drain-type moves. So much for that. 

TCH! The pouch that was already attached to the belt of the dress is an item bag, but with a strict limitation. I guess it could be used to store throwing weapons, and the description explicitly mentioned "as of now", so there may be an upgrade in the future.

And that last line, what's it about? Is it a defense-type effect or something? It's too unclear...

But man, I didn't notice that the pouch was a replacement for the belt-type item I had before. I gotta take more notice of this kinda stuff. 

Oho~? This one seems nice. I wonder what surfaces I can use now. Unfortunately, there is no list of those in the current info, maybe due to [Identification] being too low-leveled. 

The cost-down effect seems nice. Maybe I should consider looking at such "travel-based" skills at a later date. But that last line feels unnecessary. Unless I plan on acting like a queen. Not the royal kind of queen, but the R-18 type. 

Okay, this one is nasty. Binding-time UP, critical hit UP, and transformation UP? This is too good to be true! It's almost kinda scary...

Forget what I said before. THIS IS THE REAL MASTERPIECE!! Strangely, some of the items are referred to as "Ruinous" while the rest is simply "Ruin"... Could it be that the nun outfit and all the Ruin items are considered a package deal or something?

Looking into the ring's description of its potential effects, maybe I should start looking into more magic. As a side gig, at most. But there's already so much I need to take care of...

Okay, I'll just focus on my classes for now. And test out how this new set of items works in the field. Time to party!
