Chapter 12: Training of Darkness and the Dark Lord
Chapter 12's
✓Darkness Training and Dark Lord
I woke up when the alarm went off.
The time has shown at 12 noon.
When I saw the monkey family, the two little monkeys were playing around in the open space, but the big monkey was gone. He's probably out to get some food.
If the monkeys leave, I can use that gap to escape, but it seems like the hope for that is slim.
All that remained was to escape in the middle of the night by sneaking in the darkness.
There was no choice against the monkeys. If it were just those little monkeys, the magic scroll could do the job, but it would definitely create a hellish situation where the giant monkeys searched around for humans at every corner with red eyes.
There is also me who does not want to kill animals.
"Let's practice my Spirit Ability ..." (Mari)
In the end, that's all I can do now.
Ability has Proficiency and this is what it looks like now.
[Dark Spirit Ability]
Level 1 Capability
Revelation of Darkness [Dark Mist] Proficiency 89
The View of Darkness [Dark Vision] Proficiency 15
Transformation of Darkness [Shadow Dancers] Skills 0
I had used my Ability until dawn yesterday while walking, so I felt they had climbed a lot.
Training is good, but it seems like using it in practice is actually easier to raise them.
Besides, I got a new ability.
It seemed like it was a humanoid made from darkness... In other words, create a bait with darkness and run it.
"Pulse…! I can use this..!” (Mari)
This is a new ability, so I want to try using it.
I have confirmed that there is no problem in using the Ability inside the barrier.
“[Shadow Runner]!” (Mari)
Reacting to the activation of my Ability, darkness slowly emerged from the empty space and grew into a humanoid form.
Perhaps because my Proficiency was low, even when it was called a runner, it was not an athlete but the shadow of a child.
It was in human form, but there was no density to it.
It started to run straight, but at the same time when it touched the barrier, it disappeared. It was impossible to have the Spirit Ability affect the other side of the barrier, so be willing how else it would result in this.
It doesn't even serve as a false threat. It was really just an ability that made the shadow run.
But it does look useful as bait. It could at least serve as a means to escape from this forest.
That clue is really an important clue.
"All right, you gotta practice!" (Mari)
The situation is difficult, but it seems too early to give up.
◇ ◆◆◆ ◇.
The Barrier Stone runs out at 17:30.
The current time is 5:00 pm.
In the 5 hours since then, I continued to practice my spell, and there were pretty good results.
[Dark Spirit Ability]
Level 1 Capability
The View of Darkness [Dark Vision] Proficiency 17
The Transformation of Darkness [Shadow Drivers] Skills 30
Level 2 Capability
Revelation of Darkness [Dark Mist] Proficiency 22
The Dark Mist skill reached its maximum value and had risen to Level 2.
That level should be like an ability level, and when Proficiency reached 100, it rose to the next Level.
Dark Eyesight had no effect when I used it during the day, and Proficiency barely increased, so I did not use it.
“[Dark Mist]!” (Mari)
With my voice as a trigger, darkness emerged from the empty space, and it gnawed at the light.
Most likely because it had already leveled up, I could now create quite a dense darkness with the Dark Mist. Darkness could now cover all the barriers, so it could not even compare to the beginning. The darkness is also coming out much faster now.
With this, I might be able to get out unnoticed by the monkey.
“...But today wasn't as bad as I thought.” (Mari)
Maybe because of the season, even at 17:00, the sky remains clear. It's a situation where I can't call it a night.
As for the monkey family, the giant monkey brought back a lot of food and they were having dinner.
It's likely that they liked their food so much that they forgot about my presence here.
Even the monkey run 3 times faster than me. As for the giant monkey, I feel that he can walk as far as 10 times faster than me. I can't imagine myself winning from them.
"Let's wait till night ..." (Mari)
I decided to do it safely.
Challenging him here would not be that bad, but it could also raise the monkey vigilance in vain.
I don't have many points left, but I have to use them.
I bought the Barrier Stone with 1 Point, and when the remaining time reached 1 minute, I broke it. the time of the Barrier Stone can be overlapped so the time left now is 12 hours 1 minute.
I continued to practice my Spirit Ability until late at night.
◇ ◆◆◆ ◇.
“Alright.. The moon is hidden because the sky is overcast, so I think it's a good time..” (Hikaru).
2:00 in the middle of the night.
This is the time when even plants are sleeping.
Even with my Night Vision, the surroundings were shrouded in an overly dense darkness, to a sinister degree.
But right now those are all factors that will be a plus for me.
I used the Spirit Ability over and over again, and proceeded to the next step.
“[Dark Mist].” (Mari)
I chanted a new Dark Mist that had reached level 3; and had a new naama, [Dark Mist].
The darkness that appeared instantly dyed the inside of the barrier in darkness to the brim.
I was completely hidden and would at least hide me from those who relied on their eyesight.
“My Spirit ability has also grown well.” (Mari)
[Dark Spirit Ability]
Level 1 Capability
The View of Darkness [Dark Vision] Proficiency 38
The Transformation of Darkness [Shadow Dancers] Skills 64
Level 3 Capability
Revelation of Darkness [Fog of Darkness] Proficiency 2
I felt as if using my abilities inside the barrier was easier, or like .... the load was lower, which made it easier to use in sequence, respectively, but I didn't even show any signs of fainting.
It must have been because my Level and proficiency had improved, and I was slowly getting used to its use.
“I have also prepared a new Barrier Stone, so...ayo...!” (Mari)
I have 7 Points left.
It finally started to feel rare, but I actually got 1 Point when I trained my Spirit Ability. It seems that it is because I am the first Chosen One to have [Accomplishing a Level 3 Spirit Ability].
The other Chosen Ones should practice in their Spirit Abilities as well …
That must be the difference in urgency as someone who has been moved at random. Of course, there was a possibility of [Liked by the Spirit] doing his job. I realized that I had used successive abilities to an unnatural degree.
But well, I don't have anyone to compare to, so this is just a possibility.
Whatever the case, [First Achievement] gave me Crystals and Points, so it helped me a lot. For example; if I defeat that monkey, I might be able to obtain a feat like 'Conquest of the First Monster' - not like I can defeat him.
The monkeys hugged each other as they slept.
This monkey most likely has no natural enemies in this forest. This is a helpless sleeping posture.
I can escape.
I feel that confidence.
There were still 3 and a half hours left in the barrier.
But I had to run away when it was night.
“[Dark Mist].” (Mari)
I am piling more on it.
I was inside the pitch darkness and it filled the inside of the barrier completely.
"All right ..." (Mari)
I moved slowly and carefully so as not to make any noise, and when I reached the corner of the 3 meter radius barrier, I canceled it.
The barrier layer disappeared as if it was melting, and I spread the darkness around.
From afar, it might look like darkness had suddenly appeared at an unnatural rate.
The monkeys didn't realize it.
But I felt a mysterious presence that was so strong that it pierced my skin.
The presence that I have felt all the time since coming to this world.
His presence was so strong that it felt like someone was by my side on this moonless night.
But I can't let my mind wander into this mysterious presence.
Fortunately, the monkeys showed no signs of waking up.
There was no moon in the sky, making the darkness of the night even more dense.
——-Fu...ufufu…
I heard a voice.
The monkeys are sleeping.
But I heard the laughter of a girl from somewhere.
Is that a new monster?
I carefully advanced as I inspected my surroundings.
Even though I've used Dark Vision, I can't see that far.
To a level where I could barely see a monkey sleeping 50 meters away.
Kusukus…
Ufufu…
(Again... What's wrong with this voice.?) (Mari)
A mysterious voice that sounded as if it was very far away yet right by my side.
It was as if it was a child playing around from afar yet whispering in my ear.
Fufu…
The voice slowly became clearer.
There was no clear direction, and I could only feel as if it was a meaningless noise, but the closer, the more he began to show some sort of feeling.
That voice led him to laugh at me…
I'm sure of it.
I ignored the sound and rushed forward.
Right now my highest priority is to make distance.
“[Dark Mist].” (Mari)
It's really a dark night.
It is not something as simple as dark because there is no moonlight, as if darkness is present here clearly as darkness itself. It was a night as if deep within this black-coloured space, there was a bottomless ocean stretching all the way to the horizon.
If I didn't have Night Vision, I wouldn't be able to take a single step.
I heard that voice nonstop.
Like girls, like boys, like old women, like babies…
It was as if a radio sound spread deep in the air and reached my ears.
—For some mysterious reason, I'm not afraid of it.
If it's a moan or a monster roar, I might be scared, but it sounds like someone's voice.
Also, I may feel as if .. someone lives by my side on this lonely trip ...
My distance from the monkey is 100 meters.200 meters, smoothly getting further and further.
“[Dark Mist].” (Mari)
It was at the time I shouted Spirit Ability for who knows how many times now ...
The darkness around started to become noisy.
The air pulsed, even deeper darkness emerged from within the darkness.Sticking thickly to the ground, tree trunks, branches, leaves, and even the sky...
(A-What happened.?) (Mari)
'The 'voices' I heard until now have stopped.
Not only that, the sound of the wind, the sound of insects; I could not hear a single thing.
I took out the Barrier Stone from my pocket, and prepared myself.
There's a monster near here...?
No, it's impossible. No sound of footsteps…
Isn't that a living creature…?
Darkness is formed.that's the only way I can describe this phenomenon.
Right after I used that ability, something appeared from within the darkness.
I can't tell my neighborhood at all. Everything was colored in the darkness as if my Night Vision had no purpose at all.
It was not something as vague as a ghost.
Something from the pitch darkness is somewhere around here …
Far away.or maybe right on my shoulder…
—Hey, you look good.
I heard this clearly in my ears.
The feeling as if my own life was caressed by a real mass of darkness.
The feathers all over my body stood up, and I reflexively broke the Barrier Stone.
—Hmm, what a mysterious power…
—The closer I try to get, the farther to get.
At that moment, I finally saw the 'voice owner'.
Very black, really jet black.
It was within the darkness, and it was as if its own figure was within a deeper darkness.
The outline of a girl with long hair waved with the wind.
Fortunately, it seemed like he could not enter the barrier, but he walked around me with an invisible movement.
"W-Who are you?" (Mari)
I somehow managed to ask him that.
I don't know what he is. I think this creature is dangerous for me ...
But if the words get to him, perhaps there is a chance we can reach an understanding here?
—Do not know who I am?
—Although you need me so much? You love me, don't you?
- I love you too. Now, cancel this.
—Mari become one.
It doesn't seem like it's gonna work.
'The 'voice owner' who could be called the Avatar of Darkness uttered the words in a gentle manner similar to his movements. His own words were passionate, but his tone was emotionless without the slightest bit of warmth.
The only thing I can say is that he is not an ally.
Amu could also instinctively say that fighting him would be useless.
Even so, it seemed like he could not enter the barrier and only moved without any clear intention.
And, different from the monkey.he could see into the barrier.
If he can see me, it means he has no reason to leave.
I'm done.
Here I was, thinking I had finally managed to escape from the monkey, however, to think there was even something incomprehensible living here. I had mistaken how terrifying a level 4 dangerous forest was.
—Now, now, cancel this, my beloved …
—Let's be one before sunrise.
—You called me repeatedly, right? Aah, that means you love me so much, right…? However, why are you so cold ...?
The Avatar of Darkness floated around as he said this.
It was as if he was talking to me, yet it also sounded as if he was talking to himself. It was a quite mysterious tone of voice.
(But he said something about the sun... He is the Avatar of Darkness, so maybe he disappeared in the morning?) (Mari)
There's opportunity.
Or rather, let it happen.
I sat there clearly afraid of the sound.
I can't do anything.
Because I felt like I ended up calling the owner of this voice with my excessive Spirit Ability training.
In his eyes(?), I apparently called him.
I can only consider this as the Dark Spirit Ability.
(Spirit ability seems to be done by borrowing Spirit power.) (Hikaru).
Whatever the case, I had no choice but to wait for the morning to come.
Fortunately, my Barrier Stone will last quite a while, until around 14:30.
I waited for the sun to rise without batting an eye.
The Avatar of Darkness hovered all the time, but at that moment it showed at 3:30 am, a change occurred.
- How unfortunate. It's really embarrassing, sweet. I want to be one with you.
—But at least..at least I've met you, so I have to give you a gift.
—Wait a minute, okay? I can say whatever you want.
—I'm looking forward to seeing you again…
The voice disappeared somewhere.
I patted my chest in relief, but after a while, the Avatar of Darkness appeared again.
The sound of something being placed on the ground.
And then, this time, the owner of the voice disappeared like it disappeared in midair.
The forest ruled by silence constantly regained the cries of insects, the noise of the trees, and I could feel the presence of living beings, so I finally felt that I had managed to survive one more day…
