LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1328: Many Things To Do
-----
After helping Melissa change her entire life as a player of BNLO forever, we talked to her about a couple of other things, I introduced her to how to use the accessories properly, their curse absorbing abilities and so on, and a bit more of that here and there.
Eventually, she sparred again with little Gustav, this time employing her accessory abilities, the results were amazing right away.
"Hyaaa!"
SLASH!
As the prince swung his sword and released a wave of crimson lightning, Melissa generated a hardened shield using her accessory's accumulated curse energy.
"{Cursed Shield}!"
BOOOM!
Gustav's attack as successfully blocked, as an explosion of lightning only reached the skies.
At the same time, Gustav was evolving, his Skill was most likely rapidly leveling as he sparred with Melisa!
As I had overheard before, he seemed to enjoy a Players Privileges, such as being able to see his Status despite being a natural inhabitant.
Also, he probably has the NPCs innate ability to automatically level up their skills. And also to automatically learn new ones.
They're usually not too completely aware of this while they grow, but because Gustav can see all of this growth, it's probably completely different for him.
"How about this!"
Gustav took another sword, and started dual wielding, he was clumsy too, but his lightning attacks became more varied as he spun around, trying to imitate…
Huh?!
He was imitating my techniques! Haha, so cute!
"Hya! Hya! Hya! Dual Sword… Thunder Dance!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
His attacks reached Melissa's shield, releasing explosions of crimson lightning shaped as tiny draconic serpents.
The demon girl took the attacks easily, and then pushed forward, making the prince trip on his own foot and fall.
"Ouch… Ah, I messed up…"
"Hahah! I would say you've got the spirit, prince. That was very creative, how did you come out with that? You could one day refine it into something strong, maybe," Melissa was having a lot of fun with Gustav, she also talked like she had experience with little kids, perhaps she has a brother?
"I-I'll get there!" Gustav nodded. "But Melisa you also have to attack some more, you're too passive! I can take it, don't worry."
"I don't know about that, I wouldn't dare hurt you," sighed Melissa.
"Come on I can take it!!!" Gustav complained, he was very spoiled.
"That's enough dear, no more sparring for today," his mother stepped in. "Thank you for helping him so far, Melissa. You've been of great help."
"A-Ah, it's nothing," Melissa nodded. "I also have my own little brother I take care of, and mom's sick in the hospital so… well."
"I see…" nodded Camilla, smiling. "I suppose we could make you my son's private tutor. Although someone like David will teach him more of the ropes and all, you've got some good compatibility with him, and he already likes you, so it can't be helped. Maybe in your free time, if you don't mind…"
"O-Of course!" nodded Melissa. "I would gladly help him… He really reminds me of my little brother. He's so spirited and cute… I-I mean, he's… he's a good child."
"He truly is adorable and cute, I agree!" nodded Camilla. "Don't worry, you're free to praise my son all you want! Hahaha!"
"Well, now that you're free, we wanted to ask you something, Melissa," Mark said. "It's about joining us in the battle. We'll soon prepare things, so we were wondering if you'll join us? Now that Planta gave you that amazing accessory set, it would be a nice way to pay back, right?"
"A-Ah! So that's it…" nodded Melisa.
"W-Wait a second!" I said. "Mark, don't make her think I only made that for her to help us…"
"I-I didn't meant that…!" he panicked. "I just thought it was worth saying. After all, the other craftsmen all ran away with the tails between their legs. And I guess we can't really convince them otherwise, but Melissa could be different. I know you want to remain humble and not take advantage of people, don't worry. And I don't think we're doing that either."
"No, yeah, he's right," she nodded. "I'll help! I ended falling into that damned dungeon and was gifted demonic powers that had been an utter curse for me since I started BNLO… Maybe I can finally use them for something good. Also that Urn I made that can absorb Evil Energies could be effective against Merlinus, right?"
"It certainly could!" I nodded. "We used that to kill that demon prince after all, by turning it into a giant stake, haha!"
Maybe I shouldn't be laughing so heartily about killing a young demon, but I don't think I should feel bad either, that prince had eaten a lot of innocent souls, so he deserved what was coming for him.
"The urn, right…" she nodded. "I could probably create more of such items to help us out… Shall we go to the workshop?"
"Nonetheless, since then the Urn had been slightly damaged, so we need to repair it a bit first…" I murmured to myself. "Oh? You mean you can make more?"
"Yes, the competition only gave us some minutes to create things, so I'm sure I could make a couple more items equivalent to the urn if I got enough materials in my stash," she said.
"I could also provide you with more materials!" I said. "Anyways, let's go! We should make as many as we possibly can!" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
These items were all amazing trump cards, we can't waste Melissa's talents!
I went with her with a second Yggdrasil Avatar, while I stayed with my original body with my friends.
Dividing my mind to talk with both at the same time was a bit confusing, but as my Psychic Mind Skill evolved and leveled up, I've kind of gotten more or less used to the feeling!
"Anyways, shall we go meet with Rita and Lily? I just got a notification they logged-in, then let's go talk with Angelina," I said. "After that, probably with the druids and the forest people, and I think we'll be done with that."
I also wanted to fuse Skills or Evolve some, I haven't forgotten that, and I'll get to it once I'm done with this.
