Why? The answer is simple: there was too much of a level difference between me and my opponent.
I was originally level 10, and they were probably level 50.
The difference in level was overwhelming. However, even though they were usually impossible to beat, I could easily defeat them with my high talent, the power of the night of the full moon, and the boost effect of『Avenger』.
The people I killed in the village were probably at a low level. That’s why, even though I killed 21 people, my level only went up by 7.
But this time was different. I killed 15 people who were around level 50 and who were capable of participating in the front line of the war.
Here is the result.

I TUEEEE.
TN
No. Of course, I know that I can only have this strength once a full moon, that is, once a month, but I’m still very strong.
I will soon reach the 1000 point in all my stats, and I’m already at the executive level only during the full moon.
「How did it go, Lean-sama? Has your level increased?」
「Yes, it went all the way up to 28. As it is, the humans…there are about 1,000 of them, did I mention there are about 1,000? If I kill that many, I think I’ll be in line status-wise with all the executives.」
「That’s great. I am sure you have a high『level limiter』, and depending on your efforts, you could be promoted to an executive position within three years.」
Executive promotion, huh?
Certainly, my status is not at the bottom level now that my level has been raised, even if it was a while ago.
If the thousand more people I’m going to kill from now on are at the same level as those I just met, I can expect a significant increase in my level… wait, what does that mean?
「Zedd-san, what is a『level limiter』?」
「Hm? Don’t you know? Simply put, it’s the limit of the creature.」
There is such a thing!?
「The level limiter is not exactly the end of the road. When you reach the level limiter, the amount of experience required to level up becomes extremely high. In other words, you can level up with a little more than 100 experience, but now you suddenly need 5,000. That’s what it feels like.」
「Is it possible that the level up suddenly stops?」
「The level limiter is different for each individual. For those who are not gifted, it is common to have a level limiter of 10 or 20. On the other hand, if one is gifted, some exceed 100. The martial artists in the demon king’s army have reached the level limiter, but they are still raising their level, albeit slightly, by slaughtering a large number of enemies. Tiana-dono is one of them.」
Tiana-san…
Level limiter… I didn’t know there was such a thing.
「Is it possible to have high basic stats but a low level limiter?」
「There are. They have a high status and have high expectations for the future, but the level limiter comes in at 30 or so… It’s not an uncommon story. But I think you’ll be fine on that matter.」
「…What? Why?」
「Because the Demon King-sama approves of you. She has a special ability to roughly grasp the talents of the people she sees. The fact that the Demon King-sama thinks highly of you means that you will be a good fighter in the future.」
…How embarrassing.
I didn’t know she had that kind of ability. Is it the effect of Isuzu-sama’s blessing?
「Well, some of them don’t have the level limiter itself…」
「Eh, there is such a person?」
「Yes. The first one is the Demon King-sama. She has no level limiter… No, she may have one, but she hasn’t reached it, at least not yet.」
「…By the way, Demon King-sama level is…」
「I don’t know, but when I was shown it about 100 years ago, it was already over 200.」
A level monster hee~
「…And the Hero. The heroic profession has the nasty special effect of making the level limiter disappear.」
「So, it’s not likely that the current heroes will hit the level limiter at an early stage and not be able to raise their level?」
「It would have been nice if that had been the case.」
Hero… In terms of talent, it is a monster, surpassing even the Demon King-sama.
I wonder if I am a match for her.
…No, it doesn’t matter what kind of talent I have. If it’s me on a full moon night, I have a good chance of winning.
「I’d like to get used to the full moon a little more. Next time, I want to try to kill it as fast as possible, without worrying about how to kill it.」
「I see. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do. I’ll have them ready, just wait a bit.」
I killed all the humans that came, this time in five seconds, and my menu for the day was over.
◆◇◆◇◆
「Damn you!! Uooooo!!」
「《Fireball》」
「Guaaaaaa!!!」
It has been a month and a half since I started going to the arena.
Today is the last day to kill people.
That means that the total number of humans here is 20… I’ve killed four of them, so there are sixteen more to go. With this, I’ve killed all the prisoners of war.
In the past month and a half, my magic has grown to the point where I can incorporate them into a fight.
By using magic in battle, my moves increased dramatically, and sometimes I even tried to kill with magic alone.
Thanks to this, I was able to kill humans with ease, even during the new moon and daylight hours.
「How dare you Dep! Die!!!」
「Hoi!」
Which one was the dep, well, I don’t care which one.
I kicked the asshole in the neck as he lunged at me crying, and kicked him in the side of the head.
The neck, torn from his body and blown off like a ball, hit the wall and crushed like a tomato.
「Yes, yes, next…」
「Hiiiiii! What the hell is this guy?」
「An executive? I didn’t know there was such a kid in charge!」
Well, I’m not an executive.
「Oh, my God, you’re so annoying.《Wind Blade》.」
「Gwahhh!」
「Aagh!」
Ah, weak. Too weak.
How can Tiana-san resist the magic I shot to the extent that she was able to fog me with one hand?
「Well, this is the last one… Let’s take our time and enjoy it.」
And then I spent the next four and a half minutes laying waste to the humans.
The face of the last human, who died just after finding a glimmer of hope,「Thirty seconds to go」, was quite amusing. That’s a good one.
I was feeling a mysterious sense of accomplishment after the last process when I heard
「Hmm, is it over? It’s a pity I came out here to see it.」
This familiar voice…
「Demon King-sama!」
「Oh, it’s the Demon King-sama. Welcome to my domain.」
「Hmm, thank you for helping to strengthen Lean. I thank you, Zedd.」
「You are too kind.」
Dear Demon King-sama, I’m glad you’re here, but I wonder if everything is okay with politics and such.
I heard Vinel-san blurted out before,「Demon King-sama is an excellent person, but it’s a problem that she tends to slack off so much.」
「Now, now, Lean. Thank you for your hard work in handling the prisoners of war.」
「Eh, t-thank you very much!」
I have recently realized that I am not accustomed to being praised.
This is probably because I never received any praise in my previous life, but I don’t know what to say at times like this.
Demon King-sama continued to talk, leaving me in confusion.
「So, then. In terms of the Demon King’s army, this is your first job.」
「Eh? …Ah, you could say that.」
First job.
「I have something to give you as a reward. Follow me.」
「…Huh? A reward?」
You’re going to reward me with something like this?
No, indeed, I have not yet received a salary because of my young age and the fact that I have not been on the battlefield.
But I did my job. If you do your job well, they give you what you deserve. This is a workplace with good benefits.
