Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

Chapter 138: They are smarter than they expected



"The whole city has been alerted by what happened yesterday. So you won't find any problems. There are people all over the city taking care of the troublemakers. Now, you guys will just go in to look at the terrain. If you get large herds of cursed beasts, report back quickly." Sua looked at Klaus and Carion as if scolding them.

They were near one of the main entrances to the city sewers. The cleaning staff normally uses these entrances but haven't been used in many months.

Even though Sua said all that, she sensed that somehow these two were not here to listen to her, but she had to say it anyway.

Klaus nodded.

"Miss Sua, don't worry. Something I didn't mention to you before is that I'm already at the Primary Level, and my strength has increased thanks to my acquired ability. Even if I encounter some cursed beast, I am confident that I will be able to deal with it. But, since you say so, I'll come and report to you if we see anything."

Sua frowned. "I noticed that you had leveled up, but... Did you reach the Primary Level so fast? That's absurd; what ridiculous speed is that?"

She had seen him from the beginning. She knew his strength level when he entered the Cursed World and the one he had when he left.

During her experience watching Sorcerers, she knew that reaching the Primary Level would normally take several years for the average person. Some never reach it, but most do so in between 1 and 5 years from the time they achieve 'Realization'.

For those who can achieve this in 1 year, they are well above average and are considered geniuses. An example is Carion himself; he is a genius with great potential and will possibly reach the Strong Level as a Soft Class Sorcerer.

But achieving it before one year is only for incredible geniuses capable of reaching The Profundity, also known as The Deep Level or simply The Depth.

This country has never seen a person who has achieved The Depth. It is a level so deep and so rare that even in major countries, it is rarely achieved.

But to achieve the Primary Level in less than six months? That's something she had never seen in her life, but she had certainly heard that some great geniuses had achieved it.

'That Miss Carter's and Reinhardt's Young Master I remember that they achieved it. Is Klaus on their level?'

If she had thought about it carefully, Klaus might even be above them since he achieved something like that in just a few months without having a big backing.

"That's right, I've reached the Primary Level already. So don't worry so much." Klaus looked at Carion and nodded to him.

"Let's just jump right in."

"Okay."

The two no longer spoke and rushed inside, leaving Sua in a daze and thinking.

Everything was quite dirty inside the sewers, and the smell was annoying, but both of them were already prepared for that, so they gave it little thought.

Still, there was a lot of cursed energy here.

'Training here should be amazing.' Klaus enjoyed this. With what he recently discovered about his cursed energy and how to use it, he felt quite comfortable walking on it, much better than before.

Although he still did not realize the star inside his body, he was not worried. He would eventually succeed in doing it, but he hadn't had time lately.

As his mind wandered, they both walked through the long, dirty corridors of the sewers. There were different intersections, but knowing they couldn't be separated, they had to look at them individually.

These corridors were large, and although they had a map that told them where they ended, they needed to watch them carefully, especially the ones that ended at some point and did not cross the entire city, as cursed beasts could hide there.

However, they did not find any cursed beasts in those places. They did find traces, though. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

"It seems that these beasts are in the city's central area, and it's only on the large operatives that they go to certain specific places, but there are so many corridors here that it's practically impossible to look at all of us two." Klaus let out a slight sigh.

"What shall we do? Shall we go back?"

"No, we can't go back like this. While this shows us they are quite intelligent, we must investigate before they do the next mission, as we have no idea what they will do." He replied and looked down the long corridor that led to the central area.

"If they are very powerful, we would do well to prioritize life before anything else, as these guys are smarter than I thought. But, let's get to the central area and see what they have and how many there are. If we can, we'll take care of a few and return."

Klaus quickly started to head inland. Although he said all that, he had little intention of following through. Even though he wasn't entirely sure he would win in a battle against several cursed beasts, that made him want to go deeper.

The fear of the unknown is something he never had; discovering the unknown has always characterized him, and that is why he wants to discover that unknown to him.

As he went more profound, the hints of cursed beasts became more and more frequent until he began to feel them. They both quickly ran to a small corridor and hid there.

A rather loud footstep echoed nearby.

"Ahead. There are several."

They could both somehow feel the movement, not just hear it. Klaus could feel it through the cursed energy, and Carion through the movement of the air. Both could tell there were three of them, and soon after, they came into view.

They were identical to the ones they had seen before: cursed beasts focused on destroying large buildings.

The fact that such heavy cursed beasts were on the move meant something big would happen.

"Klaus, it looks like they're coming this way."

"Yes... I can feel more movement in the background. Also, I sense a strange energy source in the center of the place."

"Energy source? An item?"

"It's possible."

"They're here for a cursed energy item? That's dangerous, Klaus. When cursed beasts gather around an item that gives off cursed energy, they quickly gain great intelligence." Carion exclaimed in shock.

Klaus had to nod. Although he already knew that the situation was dangerous since he realized that the cursed beasts were not sprinkled throughout the sewers and there was plenty of cursed energy, this time, the situation had become much more dangerous.

The existence of items was always dangerous when they sustained cursed beasts and had so much cursed energy to sustain them because many types of items allow cursed beasts to increase intelligence noticeably, one of the most well-known ways to increase the intelligence of those things.

Among scientists, this is known and widely used for their laboratory tests; although Klaus does not know much about the scientific world in this place, he still knows about it.

Using cursed energy items to power the intelligence of the cursed beasts is a common practice among scientists. Which could mean that these cursed beasts here weren't just here for the sake of it.

'Maybe a scientist put it here.' He couldn't help but think of that man they called 'The Professor' who, according to Sua, is one of the most prominent scientists in Soneli Country and works in the King's service.

'That being the case, and seeing as they attacked only Sam'an City, maybe I'm finding out what Nithim Twice is fighting against. Perhaps it is, as I thought, against the crown itself.'

Although, of course, it was not necessarily so. Through his mind also flashed the memories of the man from the Cursed World that he killed on his first mission. That guy could tame cursed beasts, so maybe there are more of those around here.

That could perhaps explain why Aranfer Hiltroad was in that City of the Cursed World; maybe there was something behind it that he didn't know yet.

But be that as it may, the real situation was that the situation had suddenly become more dangerous.

And the cursed beasts did not stop their walk towards the direction they were both in. Hiding was pointless, so a battle was inevitable.

"We'll fight these and kill them quickly. If we can, we'll go in a bit to see the terrain; if we draw too much attention, we'll run quickly to warn them." He said and immediately prepared to fight, though he still wanted to try doing so without using abilities, so he wouldn't give it his all from the start.

Carion, for his part, immediately activated his Ring, fully ready for a quick fight.

Even so, while they were both staring, they suddenly heard a strange voice or howl of some strange animal from the background of the place where the cursed beasts were coming from.

At this, the beasts stopped a few steps away from the two and turned around doubtfully. Subsequently, another sound identical to the previous one reached their ears, and they started walking towards where the voice came from.

Carion and Klaus were shocked.

They were smarter than he expected. Not only could they communicate, but they literally understood how to communicate perfectly.

They are not newborn cursed beasts by any stretch of the imagination; they have intelligence on par with level 2 beasts!
