Chapter 5: Various Kinds of Skills

Chapter 4: Various Kinds of Skills

==========

[Heavenly Grace]

Unique Skill

When leveling, all stat increase set to highest value.

When leveling, skill point gain set to highest value.

All skill unlock requirement condition set to lowest.

All skill leveling requirement set to lowest.

Constant effect. Unremovable.

==========

No questions about it, how things ended up this way is all be because of this skill.

“Whether it’s how easily skills are gained, why I got that much skill points on leveling, or even why I could so easily raise my skill levels, it’s all because of the effects of this skill, isn’t it?”

That… As expected of a cheat?

Shien could only think so.

And even [Heavenly Grace] ended up like that, what kind of effects does the other [Blessing of the Highest God] have?

That’s not counting the Holy Sword. Shien’s already experienced just how powerful it is.

Thinking back on when he used the Holy Sword just a moment ago, of the amazing power that flowed from the Holy Sword into his body, Shien has every reason to believe that the fact that he was able to slay the monstrous bird in one blow is all thanks to the sword.

If there are no issues with the display of the Holy Sword’s effects, then the sword could not only help weaken the damage Shien takes and increase his skill levels, it also has the effect of increasing his own levels. That must be the source of that amazing power.

Compared to those cheat-like abilities, the skills Shien just learned are comparatively quite normal.

Now, Shien could clearly see the effects of those skills.

Those are the effects of the 6 skills Shien just gained.

Every one is usable, simple, and easy to understand. They give Shien the feeling of “yeah, that’s what’s normal.”

In the current circumstances, any skills that increases his fighting ability are very valuable.

Thus, Shien leveled up all 6 skills to the max.

6 skills, using up a total of 60 skill points.

But Shien feels that it’s worth it.

Because Shien could tell. Following the increase in the skills’ levels, the effects of these skills also underwent an unimaginable transformation.

For example, [Enemy Detection] could detect all enemies within a thousand square meters even without the bonus from the Holy Sword.

For example, [Two-handed Sword] brought with it a number of techniques and styles, along with increasing the attack power of two-handed swords.

The other skills are similarly boosted. If Shien did things over, he’d have he confidence to deal with that monstrous bird even without the power of the Holy Sword.

Of course, without the Holy Sword, it’d be difficult to to kill the bird that cleanly.

As he thought that, Shien took another look at the exposed corpse of the monstrous bird. With that, he almost recalled the pungent and disgusting smell of blood once again, and his mind flinched as if facing a mental trauma.

“Let’s just quickly leave this place.”

Shien stopped loitering about and quickly left with the Holy Sword.

After about half an hour later, a new demonic beast appeared there as if attracted by the scent of blood and started happily chewing on the monstrous bird’s corpse.

……

Just like that, Shien experienced his first battle in the new world and his first baptism.

Thanks to that, Shien no longer dares to run about carelessly in the forest.

As the saying goes, you need to wimp out when you have to. After finally getting a second life, Shien doesn’t want to game over.

Thus, following, Shien became unquestionably more cautious.

If it was before, Shien might really not know what to do.

If he dives into the forest, then who knows what kind of beasts and monsters he might end up meeting.

If he heads toward wider areas, he might instead be easily found by demonic beasts with good vision and end up attacked.

Thus, if it was before, Shien would definitely be in turmoil, not knowing just what to do.

Thankfully, due to learning the [Enemy Detection] skill, Shien could now sense the demonic beasts within a huge area around him and avoid them.

Shien thus moved based on what [Enemy Detection] provided him on the position of demonic beasts and zigzagged through the forest, successfully avoiding countless demonic beasts.

Finally, Shien successfully…… Got lost without realizing it.

It’s pretty obvious when you think about it, right?

“Zigzagging about thoughtlessly like this, getting lost is only natural, right?”

Watching the setting sun and the oncoming dusk, Shien bitterly sighed while sitting down and leaning on a tree.

“Looks like I won’t be able to leave this forest today.”

From the start, Shien was unfamiliar with the geography here, nor does he know how he’s supposed to leave this forest. He’s even unclear as to how big this forest is and could only charge about like a headless fly.

Given that, it’d be strange if he could leave the forest.

“I won’t end up just disappear in this forest like this, right?”

He’ll die like this.

Even if he doesn’t end up killed by a demonic beast, he’ll still end up starving to death.

“Might as well just die again. Maybe I’ll end up keep getting summoned by a goddess and get a third life…”

Such a thought involuntarily popped up in Shien’s mind.

It basically shows just how helpless Shien feels about his current situation, to the point of despair.

“Is there no instantaneous movement or flying skill that I can lean?”

While fantasizing about such a think, Shien finally still dusted himself off and stood back up.

It’s one thing to talk about it, but it’s not like Shien really wanted to just give up.

Even if he ends up giving up, that will only be until after he’s struggled to the very end first.

“Let’s first think about how to pass the night in this forest.”

At the very least, he needs relatively safe place to hide.

Otherwise, it’s obvious just thinking about it. If he sleep outside in the wilds, then by next morning, all that’s left of him could very well be just a pile of bones.

“The sun’s almost set, let’s hurry up.”

Shien used the signals of demonic beasts from the [Enemy Detection] skill and stared at a few of the reactions. After gritting his teeth, he headed towards the direction of one of the reactions.

No way around it. If he want’s to find a place to hide, then there’s no other way besides luck. To the Shien who isn’t familiar with the area, that really is a bit difficult.

Since things are as they are, Shien could only head towards the position of demonic beasts that haven’t been moving for while.

“Somewhere a demonic beast is resting and doesn’t want to leave, it can’t be all that bad, right?”

He’s trying his luck either way, so might as well try it with a target in mind. Maybe he’ll reach his goal quicker that way.

With that thought in mind, Shien headed towards the location of those unmoving demonic beasts.
