Chapter 32 - What I Can Do And What I Will Do
That was a great show of ability by Victoria. After the fight, the beautiful human form suddenly turned into a slime. That's when we know Victoria's time is up and we can only meet again tomorrow.
The three of us then return to the city.
"So what's your ability? You can see-through things, right?"
"Yes. I can see your skeleton really well. I don't know much about this yet so I want to check it after I take a rest. I'm exhausted."
"Then do that. The two of us will take a mission from the guild now so we will discuss our next move tomorrow since your goal have been achieved."
"Okay. See you tomorrow! Or maybe later if we meet at the inn."
I left the girls as I returned to the inn where I slept until dinner time.
During dinner, the innkeeper told me Angela and Kayla has eaten dinner before me and returned to their own room. They must be tired after doing mission so I will meet them tomorrow.
I returned to my room and test my new ability. Since Victoria can't appear again today, I can only test it on my own without her guidance. I can just ask her tomorrow.
I stood in the center of my room and test my vision. My eyes is facing the door but I can still see the window at the opposite direction. Directly behind my back. Weird.
I can also see the ceiling above me without moving my head. Still weird. But I love it!
I already love this new ability of mine just with the first test. Then I walk to the window and open it to see outside view. This time I want to test how far I can see. The city gate that I need fifteen minutes to reach if I walk normally, suddenly got so close to me!
Then I tried to use my see-through vision. I can see outside the gate! But this zooming and see-through vision can only be viewed if I'm looking directly with my eyes. Unlike the surrounding view that I don't need to look directly. But that's okay!
So see through and zoom vision can be combined, but the surrounding view can't.
Next is to test the see-through vision. I looked at my arm and see the blood flowing in my veins, the bones and muscles of my arm as I moved it. This vision is really great for a doctor.
Then obviously, to see Angela next door! I see through the wall and see two skeleton in the next room… That's not what I want to see! I don't want to see through that much!
More importantly, since when do they rent a room together? When we first come to the city, they each rent their own room, but now they are sleeping together? Well, I didn't see them actually sleeping. I just saw two skeleton with inner organ and muscle laying next to each other. Why don't they invite me?
For now, let's reduce the strength of the see-through vision. Good… the organ has been covered by flesh. A little more… a little more… and…
"Ugh!"
My head hurts! Too much information gave me a headache! Just a little bit more but my head is hurting!
It's sad that I can't see what I want to see. But at least I learn the flaw of using this ability too much. I gotta learn to use it efficiently as to not hurt my head again. I guess that's it for testing my new ability.
I lay down on the bed but I can't sleep yet.
It's time to think of new name for my new ability!
I can't just call it ability forever.
Let's see… Visionability! Or Eyebility! Abiliteye! Looking Good! Visionary!
…I have terrible naming sense. Is there any monster I need to defeat so I can gain the ability to give name? I mean why the hell did I ever think of 'Looking Good' as the name?
I want to call it All-seeing, but it's the same with the name of a monster so that's a no.
Hmm… First, it's an ability to see. My vision is improved. I can see-through things. I can see the surrounding. What's a good name for it? God's Eye? I'm a human not a God.
Wait! How about Divine Vision? Maybe that will work. Let's put it as its temporary name since I can't imagine a better one yet. I'll discuss it with the other… I don't think so. I can't tell the girls that I can see-through things, right?
For now it's called Divine Vision until I got a better one. But I might ended up forget to make a new name so it might be a permanent name.
After deciding a temporary name for my new ability, I sat on the side of the bed and summarizing what I can do now, in the future, and what should I do after this. After all, I need to know my own limit first so I know what I can do and what I can't do.
First is summoning magic. I can summon Blobby. A black slime that can shapeshift into anything I desire. It also has Victoria's consciousness. An Aura user from the past. She's also my teacher. Victoria is also a woman from another world before she's reincarnated to this world and became an Aura user. There are so many thing she can teach me.
I have eaten the Pear-y fruit so when I leveled up, I can make a contract with another monster. Usually summoner can only summon one monster even after they leveled up, but now I can have three. If I found another Pear-y fruit, and I ate it after I'm an Advanced level summoner, I can make contract with five monsters as long as I reached the Master level.
Then another element I can use is Air element. It's useful for breathing. And I can compress air which is useful to make an Oxygen Tank. This is very helpful when I fought the All-seeing monster. And it will also be helpful for a doctor. Maybe I can make more and sell it. I can also shot a bullet by compressing air in a small tube, and release it. I called it Air Cannon.
Oh, right! With my new vision, I can see far into distance! That mean my Air Cannon can be more accurate for sniping a distant enemy. I'll try it tomorrow. I should raise the level of Air element as well. But the resource for an Air element is extremely rare so I can only raise it naturally. It will take a long time then.
Next is my Aura. Combining it with martial arts, or weapon mastery, I am nearly invincible in close combat. Which is the weakness of all mages. As long as I can close the distance, I can kill anyone easily. So melee weapon for a close range, and Air Cannon for a long range. I'm an all-rounder.
As for martial arts and weapon mastery, I need to train them more. At the moment, I am better in spear than other weapons, but I still need to improve other weapon's mastery to be unpredictable. My greatest advantage is my randomness in using any kind of weapon because of Blobby's ability.
Then Divine Vision. I can see the surrounding area, see far away, and see through things. With this, I can see an enemy from far away and decide if I can kill the enemy or run away because they are too strong. Perfect ability to make important decision.
Lastly obviously, my shamelessness. Survival is the most important thing, but even if I got so much stronger, I can't just kill everyone I hate. That will make me no difference than Evil God Cult. I need to be more flexible in my thinking. Like how I put those thugs in prison without fighting, but instead using peaceful means. Although that peaceful means will make them unable to live peacefully forever.
Then what should I do from now? Other than increasing my strength?
I want to destroy the Evil God Cult. That's right. That one desire is still the same. But this time, I also want to protect the world. Because I want to protect the littlest kindness in people. Although I'm not kind, I still love to see other's kindness toward me, or other people. After all, the kindest heart makes me believe in a world I wished for. A world filled with kind people. That's why I want to destroy evil… except my evil. I will do anything in any way possible that will makes me stay alive, to protect those kindness.
Protecting kindness by doing evil… that's fine!
Although I can't change the world by doing that, at least I can change my world. I can live in a better world if I change my surrounding.
If I have to choose to destroy the cult by sacrificing someone important to me, I will refuse to do so. I will save everyone important to me, put them in secret place only I know, although I don't have such place at the moment. Then think of another way to destroy them without sacrificing anyone.
The only way I can do that is by growing stronger. Not grow stronger alone, but together. At the moment, I have Angela and Kayla with me. Then I should teach the girls at Red Tail brothel to get stronger as well. That way, they can change career into a hunter if they want to, and the survival rate become higher.
Then the kids, Daniel and Hannah. Daniel still need ten more years until his magic awaken, and Hannah five years. But I can still teach them some knowledge.
And so, I will write down some of my knowledge and give it to them as soon as I'm back. I still don't know their elements yet so I'll just write the elements I know of. If some of them have a rare element, I will have to ask Victoria.
I fell asleep at dawn after I finished writing down some knowledge to share with the girls at the Red Tail brothel.
