Book 5: Chapter 13: Testing the Skill and a Surprise


    <strong>Scarlet</strong>


    After separating from the demons, each of whom have to return to the war effort just like I do, just on different sides, I test out the new Title-Bearing Mythic skill a bit more. And after trying it on various different types of demons of varying different levels, I find that it is actually easier to use the skill on ss Vs. Although Im still not strong enough to nullify another demons curse yet, regardless of their ss.


    And fortunately their level doesnt matter in the slightest. Only their ss.


    Itll probably take me one or two hundred more levels before I can nullify the curse of another demon. Then another one or two hundred more levels after that to be able to nullify the entire curse. With the help of a bunch of ss Vs in a ritual casting of the skill, that is.


    All that said though, I wonder if I can clear out the other curse yet or not the one blocking anyone from using technology above Tartaruss level of technology from back when the curse was ced. Because unlike the curse on demons, that curse ced on the of Tartarus itself wasnt a ritual curse.


    It might be possible for me to remove it.


    Then again, I should wait to do that until after the war is over. Considering how the demons would just end up bringing our tech back there and upgrading their own technology beforeing to Earth with more advanced technology.


    Which would lead to problems.


    I sigh as I finish testing on thest demon and begin heading back towards the frontlines of the Eastern war front.


    At this point theres no reason for me to stay in the Arctic, since I already have Bane of Corruption. So if I want the best ce to gain levels, the Eastern frontlines is the best ce to go.


    Its too bad those Nobles from earlier couldnt just bring me with them and try to power level me or something. But thats just not how the System works. Itd end up ughtering demons for no reason.


    And while that would help with the war, I highly doubt the demons would be happy about it.


    After running for a bit, I transform into blood the moment I reach the shoreline of the Arctic. Then I fly through the air towards the Eastern continent.


    Ill have to talk to the Knights and the general about heading to Tartarus though. Because at this point, while the Battlefield of Blood and Ruin would definitely make a good training grounds at my current level unlike when I was ss IV, being on Tartarus right now might not be the safest thing. Not when a certain oni is rampaging around the ughtering everything and everyone he finds in his rage.


    <strong>You should stay on Earth, </strong>Tar says, making me purse my lips.


    Maybe that would be for the best.


    There are plenty of Nobles here to fight now anyways, so it might be just as good training here as it is there. Plus there are actually more lower leveled demons here too, and I can deal with those by raising my level with numbers over quality too.


    I might want to talk with a Noble demon about the situation over on Tartarus first though. Before I make a decision.


    With that thought in mind, I continue flying through the air in silence for a while. And the moment I reach thend, I turn back into my physical form so as to not drain more mana than I need to. Then I transform into my quadrupedal beast form and begin charging across thend towards the frontlines, asionally passing by and startling a city in the process.


    Come to think of it, I hope Gramps didnt make any mistakes while he was moving the due to the Universal Notification that I just had sent out.


    <strong>Hopefully he didnt, </strong>Tar says, agreeing with me.


    I continue running for a while until I grind to a halt at the sight of a surprising notification appearing in my vision.


    Warning! This is a universal notification!


    <strong>Amelia Asger has attained a new title-bearing mythic skill!</strong>


    <strong>Amelia has now attained the title Bane of Magic.</strong>


    <strong>May their achievement ring out throughout the known universe!</strong>


    Wait a second, huh? Amelia just got huh. Wow.


    That was unexpected.


    <strong>It should help with the war, </strong>Tar points out, making me nod in agreement.


    Bane of Magic sounds a lot like my Bane of Corruption Title that I just got. Makes me wonder if it just lets her nullify magic or something.


    Wait, no, she already has a skill to do that


    I blink as I realize that I can just call her.


    So I do.


    Scarlet? Whats wrong? Amelia asks the moment the call connects between our terminals. And I dont even bother transforming back from my quadrupedal form, instead using the special method of speaking through magic that Gramps and Leonidas taught me to answer.


    I was curious about what your new mythic skill does, I answer her honestly.


    She doesnt say anything for a second before chuckling and saying, It lets me make a field where magic cant be used or affect anything.


    My eyes widen at that.


    Wait, does that include magic that was already in affect before you put up your field? I ask, actually pausing in my run as I do so.


    It does, Amelia answers, sounding smug as she does so. Even though I cant see her face since Im in my quadrupedal form.


    That will absolutely be helpful inbat.


    And considering how powerful it is, shell probably etch it at some point in the future. So I could potentially get it as well.


    <strong>Of course thats what youre thinking about, </strong>Tar says with a snort.


    I ignore him as I tell Amelia, Well congrattions on your new Title.


    You too, Amelia says in response, following which we both share a brief goodbye and end the call.


    Then I continue running towards the frontlines with whatever passes for a grin on my quadrupedal beast forms face.


    Thisll be an interesting turn of events.
