I clicked my irritated tongue. This aura problem really makes me sick, you know? I'm a Neutral player, it should have a decreased effect on the possibility of negative (hostile) relationships but I can't feel the benefit at all.
Do you want to make me choose the path of Evil, huh?! I was interested but not because it was difficult. Even without that, I've been hostile to many parties.
Without saying another word, I started swinging my whip and made a ball of mana fog. The small magic circle was arranged quickly before I launched it. Well, I hope I can cut the time of the arrangement, it's the equivalent of Cast if it's written.
After all, it has no Cooldown so I can launch it continuously. Yes, even if it does not have much effect.
"Master, you have to help this student of yours, right?"
I smiled at Megaera before dipping her into this confrontation forcibly.
Even if you want to escape, I won't let it, MASTER. Light weight equals equal weight upheld, okay?
"SADISTIC DISCIPLE BASEMENT!" scream Megaera.
Is he so passionate about fighting? Anyway, he became to continue playing the role of Vanguard by starting to fight the scouts.
Megaera moved quickly, she dodged all of those people's attacks and fought back appropriately. Yes, ALL! In other words he did not receive a single scratch.
I'm a little envious but there's no way I can replicate that. I started to recreate the mana fog spear, the strongest attack I could give while continuing to swing the whip.
"Increase Speed." I sped up my movements with a spell, this only lasted for 10 seconds so I better hurry.
I retreated, reaching the empty space around me, then ...
"Death. Strength Damage!"
... The spear of mist mana launched, piercing through the head of a scout who had indeed been critically mined and killed him.
I approached the corpse, picked up some of the potions left behind and started to recreate the mana fog spear. But, yeah, things didn't go as I expected.
Unlike usual with mana to gather and settle down unhindered as I willed it, this time the mana that had gathered immediately collapsed and could not be controlled.
"Something's different than usual, yeah."
Is that any different? I don't know. Looking at what is happening around me now, there is no difference at all.
"Except ..." I glanced at the corpse beside me. It kept on spitting out the mist as a drop animation, I did suspect that this was not just an animation so what was the cause? "... Well, there's no harm in trying."
I let go of more mana. Trying to control the fog of weathering that continues to come out of the corpse and form it into a ball.
I divided my mind to be able to handle all five jobs well.
One to keep swinging the whip in the hand.
One to keep an eye around and avoid attacks.
One was in charge of making a spear of fog mana.
One watches the Cast and Cooldown times of my Spells.
And finally, one to control the corpse fog, as long as it was no more than 10 meters away it was safe.
It's exhausting but what can I do. All of these are important tasks.
"Strengthen Damage."
I launched one more fog spear, leading to the scout being the most injured. I didn't judge it, but appearances are enough.
Meanwhile, Megaera once again snatches the dagger hanging on the waist of one of the scouts, plays it and starts using it as a weapon. Yes, I will close my eyes to his ability to play eight daggers simultaneously and nicely.
While for me, the ball that keeps the fog of the corpse weathering results finally managed to be maintained. I brought it closer to me, felt it and started touching it. However, the result of that was that my Satiation was drained at a frightening speed.
I'm yelling. My guess, which I thought would still take some time before it was proven to have produced something.
This was a mist, but this was very different from the fog resulting from the release of mana with the Magic Mastery, this carried the nature to decipher everything it touched. So is it because of that too that the corpse inside EFO deteriorated — which I thought was a drop— animation by removing the mist from it?!
[You have successfully comprehended and operated one of the Ultimate Curses!]
[Title Curses Spectator successfully acquired!]
[Ex-Skill, Primal Curses & Decomposition successfully acquired!]
I was stunned, what was going on?! Is EFO a mystery game? Not an RPG or Survival game?! Oh, well, the Survival game on EFO is probably just me for now.
"Why are you just standing blankly there, my disciple!"
"Defense Corrections!"
I returned thanks to Megaera's shout, successfully activating the spell and avoiding major damage by a thin margin. Although it still reduced my HP by about 60%, yes.
It's scary enough just to see. I want to refocus on this battle, besides that the course of the Augusta Vs Battle of Houra City Army continues to rise. However, yes, check out what Ex-Skill I just received.
[Primal Curses & Decomposition
Activation: Mind Key
A curse that breaks down all materials and converts them into free energy. Dropping his ambition and making him continue to wallow in the mortal realm, forcing him to absorb something to stay afloat]
Well, what the fuck is this?! What is mind activation?! Besides, Ex-Skill has no level? Also what about the Cost on Skill and Cooldown if this is not the type of Skill that is always on?!
"Yes, I can't even figure out what the effect is." There's only text flavor in there.
I kept thinking about that while dodging their attacks. Still Megaera, my Master is very helpful in this. For the first time I did not feel upset over his presence.
"If I don't try, I won't find out either."
If it was some kind of time bomb and I kept it unconscious, it would be very dangerous.
Yes, I gathered the mana fog and started making mana fog spears. The geometric pattern, aka the magic circle expands with a transparent color and I finally launched it.
No need to use Strength Damage for now, I think that the Primal Curses & Decomposition are contained within the spear. The spear of fog turned into a brownish-gray color, making it easier to see. Keep that in mind and keep a close eye on what is going to happen, it is important to know the exact effects.
The moment the spear hit my target, an incredibly frightening thing happened.
A tanned gray mist spread out, entering the body of the unfortunate scout. But it didn't get there. The scout's body collapsed, his skin, hair, blood, and flesh began to fall out like a cleaned stain.
"Arrg ... ghh .. hhh!" a raucous cry rang out, trying to get out of his mouth but continuously muffled by his own blood and flesh that went into what should have been the mouth.
All is ongoing, there are no sensors or filters at all, however EFO has a minimum age requirement that is considered adult. Everything happens as realistically as possible.
Until the scout's death there were screams continue to echo, he died with his bones only left as a witness of his life. However, the rest of the shouts from the previous scouts could faintly still be heard.
Not only was I the one who was silent, but the remaining four scouts were also slightly frozen. In this silence I kept thinking, This is not just a relic of the implementation of the Anti-trauma system ... EFO, this applies the source of the trauma itself as its system.

Title, Princess Charming.
This is Ramber Von Augusta's Title. This title is present thanks to her reputation on the opera, her beauty is very much admired so often mistaken for her as a woman.
Because that is what appears in the Title is not Prince, but Princess who is very abandoning her gender.
Has an enhanced effect on charm (medium). And as an additional effect because it appears in a man, Augusta will be more easily mistaken as a woman.
