After feeding Elfina an MP Potion, she quickly tried out her newest Skill in yours truly, now she was finally being more useful! If I have her enhancing me all the time, I could beat the annoying aliens that get in my path way easier.
As she conjured the Skill, I was covered in bright light, as my stats began to raise by +10%! Each Stat had a different color of light, Strength was red, Agility was green, and Vitality was yellow. My entire body was therefore covered in an aura of red, green, and yellow, and each aura enhanced each respective stat by +10%. The best thing was that this could be multiplied as it leveled up, perhaps being +100% at level 10!
If I could force Elfina to drink MP Potions while constantly conjuring this Skill, she could easily train it and gain great power- I mean, I would gain great power but my power is hers, right? So there’s nothing wrong with saying that, haha! Honestly if it was up to me I would be forcing Elfina through a rigorous regime where she would be being bathed in all sorts of elements to gain resistance skills and do some odd stuff to get Title Skills as well… But I guess you can’t have everything in the world, her maid and her royal family would oppose such a thing, they spoil her too much.
“D-Do you feel any strong? Most of my MP was drained through that enhancement… Damn it, I wish I had a bigger amount of MP! My accessories all enhance its recovery but even then, it roughly takes like an hour for it to fully recover, what a pain!” Sighed Elfina.
“I think the enhancement is pretty great.” I said. “Don’t worry about details. If we let you gulp potions and practice magic constantly you’ll eventually learn the drill of it! If you’re willing, I will give you a spartan training! Your MP is little but that also has the potential to increase a lot, unlike me who has so much it is hard to increase it outside of levels and stat points.”
“I-I think I pass from that, I wouldn’t want to go through a hellish training is my type of thing… Y-You know? I am a princess and- UGYAH!” Before Elfina could finish speaking, she suddenly felt something cold and slippery, and also rather fleshy, entangle her leg, it was a long-ass tentacle coming from the stairs!
The tentacle coming from downstairs was originating from something… I noticed a group of strange critters crawling our way from downstairs! Wow, they had some bizarre appearances, like… as if they were being parasitized by giant and disgusting bugs over their heads. Hold on, something’s odd here. These aren’t bugs, they’re more like squids? Octopus? The monsters were also different, these looked like rhinoceros covered in steel armor, and there were also evolved Monkeys named Barbarian Monkeys, muscular and larger, and holding giant clubs with spikes.
The two species of monsters, however, didn’t looked as light-hearted as they looked before getting this new upgrade of style, as they were being parasitized by strange creatures atop their heads! What the heck are these guys?!

W-What… hold on a second, these stats are way too detailed, I guess my Appraisal Skill is at a decent level now but wow! This bastard is being parasitized by something! He got a massive stat boost too! Like it totally beats the stat boost that Elfina is giving me as well! What the hell? I also want to be parasitized if it means I get higher stats.
“H-Help!”
Elfina, of course, was in danger. The typical trope of a damsel in distress, really? I have to go through this now?! …Okay, I better stop whining and get moving.
SLAAASH!
I swung my phantasmal hand and easily cut through the tentacle coming from the rhinoceros parasitized, freeing Elfina and catching her with another phantasmal grasp, she quickly reached the floor and she was slightly disgusted and intrigued at the same time.
“J-Just what’s that thing?!” She asked while quickly running behind me.
“Normal monsters but parasitized. Let’s finish them before we get to ask more questions.” I said, quickly beginning to spin around through the power of [Roll]. They’re not that strong so this should finish them off! If I use [Harden] together with [Roll] and perhaps even [Spike Attack] I could deal some nice devastating damage.
“This thing is strange, don’t get closer, Kireina!” Luminous said, his fear was justified but I already began rolling! Using the wondrous skill, I quickly reached my target, the rhinoceros.
CLAAAASH!
I clashed against the creature weaker than me as I noticed it was struggling to fight back, beginning to roll, and become a ball of steel the same as me! This was a clash of [Roll] but sadly, I was the more superior user, friend!
“GRUUOOH!”
The rhinoceros roared, as I clashed against him with everything I had, unleashing the power of [Roll] and then [Harden] to make myself heavier, I easily overpowered him!
However, I suddenly felt an invisible, supernatural force pushing me away!
BOOOM!!!
Just as I celebrated my victory against the parasitized Rhinoceros, the bastard unleashed his power. It seems that this red and fleshy parasite granted him some psychic powers. Well, not like I didn’t had my own way to fight back against that, with my own [Telekinesis], of course. I quickly activated it the moment I was thrown into the ground and used [Roll] and [Harden] at the same time, clashing against him once more.
CLAAASH!
