The Magic Of Skill

Chapter 13

In a faraway country, there is a legend about a beautiful woman who was able to kill someone without a trace. The woman had a beautiful face, her body was like a teenager, and it was said that she was also kind.

He killed anyone who did him evil. Rape is the most underlined factor here. Because of the beauty of the woman's jelly, many men are unable to resist his lust and switch by trying to rape the woman.

Whoever it was, whether a person or a group, they all died without the slightest injury on their bodies.

It was a rumor that circulated about the murderous daughter, due to her beauty and killing skill. But there are also those who call her a queen, because it is considered that she has an area of power that has been hidden.

Unlike the rumors about the Witch King, this murderous princess or queen was not a widespread threat.

***

In reality, the rumors are true, but the facts are false.

Is the killer a princess or a queen? She is actually the queen. She was the Queen of Holiana, the leader of the kingdom of Le-Ugen, a large, prosperous country with abundant resources.

Queen Holiana is the heir to the throne from a couple of previous kings who died as a result of the tragedy of the betrayal of the nobility. Queen Holiana was made queen at the age of 18 years, and became the last lineage of her family with her sister, Princess Nerna.

Holiana had a rare skill called True Death, it was a skill that could kill someone by just touching it. Dangerous indeed, but Holiana can control it by using gloves. Even so, the fact that people are afraid of him is undeniable.

For a dozen years, Holiana had no history of killing humans with the skill, all she accidentally killed were animal-like creatures.

Until the tragedy of betrayal occurs. At that time, the nobles in the kingdom of Le-Ugen were aware of how beautiful Holiana was in her teens. They planned to assassinate the queen-king couple in order for Holiana to be made queen politically, and could be betrothed by the nobles politically as well.

Nerna, Holiana's younger sister, is aware of the sudden and far-fetched death of her parents. He eventually learns the fact that his parents' death was a premeditated murder committed by a traitor.

This news reached Holiana. Holiana is angry and kills those involved in the murder case. More than 20 nobles died in less than a week, Holiana was the culprit. But Holiana was not found guilty because it was her authority.

Holiana was made queen. But he could not forgive himself for killing so many people. He locked himself in a royal room for months since the incident happened.

The Kingdom of Le-Ugen was led by Princess Nerna. Nerna as Holiana's sister feels sorry for her brother.

Holiana never went out of the room. But he was given regular meals, and guards were waiting for him all night in front of his room despite never hearing orders.

And so, the story of the queen who killed with her deadly skill.

Not many Le-Ugen residents know this fact. Even though they knew it, they only thought that the story was ridiculous. Given Holiana had been kind to his people and known as the heir to the throne is very decent.

Holiana could only hope. Is there anyone out there who can eliminate his cursed skill? Even if there was none, Holiana wanted to live with him who would accept the killer's hand as it was. In other words, Holiana wanted the figure of a person who could not be killed with her hands.

I, Florinas and Killifer teleported to the court of Emperor Valarish. A happiness could use Dimension Teleport constantly. And again this skill does not require tracking ability, so I can teleport to any place I want without having to know that place beforehand.

Its function might be similar to Locating that I copied from Valarish, but the Locating skill could only be used to track living things.

When teleporting, we appeared in a spacious room with its walls painted fancy. There is a table, sofa and some room decoration such as fireplace and carpet. There was no one in the room, nor did I wonder why Dimension Teleport had brought me here instead of the palace gate.

“Master, this is the place where the emperor usually holds exclusive meetings with upper class nobles.” Killifer.

I'm nodding. I looked around, everything was truly luxurious filled with wealth. Unlike the palace of King Loiros who luxurious but tolerable, here the wealth for one country as if spent only for one room.

In the corners of the room, I saw a wall, but with a slightly different color of paint. The entire wall was coated with a yellow-gold paint, but on the wall I saw the color was a bit faded.

Florinas and Killifer were busy looking around at what was in the room, I slowly headed to the wall and began to examine it.

Whether by chance or not, on the wall there is a magic energy that is used to protect the wall. This is what they call a seal. The energy was indeed faint, but the seal was extremely strong.

“Florinas come here.” I called Florinas to check this seal. “Can you break the seal?” I asked Florinas.

Florinas who finished looking through the seal then replied, “If Master hits him seriously it is likely that the seal will be destroyed.”

“No, it's too destructive. Killifer, do you have any ideas?” now I'm switching the dialogue to Killifer.

“Hmm.. how about using a dagger to cut the seal. The power of Mr. Walter ‘kan is very large, rather than the power was released through a blow, how about it is issued through a dagger whose use is controlled.” Killifer.

It makes sense, if this dagger responds to my power, then it should be that when I cut it it is the same as when I hit it. That's a good idea.

Following the advice from Killifer, I used the dagger to cut the seal. And it worked. The complicated and powerful seal managed to cut off with a dagger.

When the seal disappeared, miraculously the wall that was hit by the seal also disappeared. It was as if the wall from the beginning did not exist, its density and form were just an illusion. Behind the broad wall, there was a room with a dim light.

“Good work, Killifer. Florinas you lost.” I said I was blasting Florinas.

“Master, I also wanted to offer that idea.”

We went into the room.

And it turns out it's the room where Valarish's weapons are kept.

When we entered, the wall that had been lost again appeared. But it should be easily opened from the inside.

“This.. really great.” Florinas.

Yes, there are a lot of weapons on display here. Starting from sharp weapons displayed on glass, armor, spears, sticks, even swords stuck in a stone.

Among the many weapons on display like an exhibition, I was attracted to the two swords stuck in the stone. The two swords each cast light and shadow, stuck side by side in a rock surrounded by a chain around it.

“What sword is it?” I asked Killifer.

Killifer replied, “Oh, it is the Curse Sword of Garanof and the Sacred Sword of Exaviel. I only heard it from nobles. but.it doesn't seem like it's a sword that Emperor Valarish can use.”.

“The curse sword or holy sword will choose who has the right to hold it. They are like good and evil, so it is impossible for someone to hold both.” Florinas conjures up Killifer's explanation.

I was a little disappointed with that explanation, “Ah, a pity, when both of them looked cool. Do you know from where the sword rejects someone?”

That means if you haven't tried yet, right?

I walked towards the stone surrounded by the chain, then cut the chain using a dagger. Right in front of me, a sword that looked beautiful and powerful was like calling out to me.

With no intention at all, I held the two swords with both hands, then pulled them out.

Unexpectedly, the sword was pulled out easier than I thought.

Let alone like pulling a tree root from the ground, it felt like the sword was indeed just stuck in the stone. What fool cannot lift a sword so lightly?

I looked at the two swords. There's nothing special. It turned out that after the sword was in my hand, the charm was not so prominent than they were still stuck in the stone. What the fuck? I feel lied to.

“Master.. the.” Florinas. His mouth gaped when he saw me holding the two swords.

Killifer was much more surprised, he was amazed but also amazed by what he saw, “Master Walter. indeed really a special person, yes.”

Judging from their reaction which was like seeing a ghost, it was likely that this was indeed a powerful sword. I also felt a different strength from this sword. Yes, no, what is the use of admiring a sword, it ‘kan only a sword.

“You two find the weapons you want. I want to put everything in my Inventory right away.”

Inventory is a magic in which we are able to create a vacuum and insert any object into that space. All the items that are inserted can be taken back at any time. So this magic is like an assistant bag. I got this magic from Killifer.

Killifer felt doubtful and uneasy when I told him to take one weapon, but he gave up and took out a long, strong-looking sword.

As for Florinas, he said that he did not need any weapons to fight. Even with the Ice Area, it was an ability that was too deadly for any living being. But although not interested, in fact Florinas looked at a stick that floated on a stone display.

The wand had an abstract shape, like most witches' wands, on top of the wand was a black pearl-like sphere with flashes and reflections inside.

“Florinas, you want that stick?” my many.

“No, I was just wondering if this stick could fulfill the Master's wish or not.”

“Which one do I want?”

“It was ‘lho when we first met. Didn't Master say he wanted to eliminate the skill? I thought this stick was the answer.”

I'm surprised you still remember. “So this stick can eliminate skill?”

“Not, this stick can store one's skill inside his crystal ball,” Florinas points to the ball stuck on top of that stick, “Thus that person's skill will go into the crystal, the, and this stick user can use his skill by activating his stick.”

I see, so if I put Neressy's Evolver in here then Neressy's skill will be spelled out. But then it would be the same as making this stick as the Magician King's care. I also don't want to travel with a cane.

“Yes already, Florinas, you will wear this stick. It's up to you to make it a stand when you fly, or a cookie dough mixer. We're back after I saved everything.”

“Good, Master.” Florinas looked at me in wonder despite having returned the orders from me with his readiness, then in a very slow tone, Florinas asked, “Until he can hold a sword that symbolizes good and evil.. Master, who are you really?”

***

The next day Florinas performed the ritual on the staff he named Fairy Staff, it was the same stick as the one previously capable of moving a skill to get into it.

When I return to the palace, I have to explain a little bit about Killifer Voil who from now on will join my group together with Florinas. Grateful Princess Lennef allowed it, as well as Queen Andervine who had just been taken hostage yesterday.

There's Neressy and Quine, me, Killifer, and of course Florinas. How happy Neressy was when I told him that his skill could be eliminated, even though ‘ eliminated’ in a more special sense.

“It's done, Master.”

After a while Florinas held onto Neressy's hand, and the other hand he placed onto the Light-emitting Fairy Staff. I could feel the complicated magic energy flowing from Neressy's hands through Florinas' body, only then gradually being worshiped in Fairy Staff.

Florinas' cute face was visibly sweaty after he did his job.

“After all?” Neressy asked while looking at his own palm. “My suffering.. disappeared instantly,” Neressy embraced me then hugged me happily. Quine, her sister, also seemed moved when she saw her brother freed from the shackles of strength.

“Yes, this is part of my promise.my hunch says that we will be friends for the future.” I said.

“Oh, of course, I would love to be friends with you.”

One of my goals has been fulfilled. The rest..

Ice Dragon!

Oh, yes, I forgot about that Ice Dragon. If I touch it, it will give me an incredible endurance effect. And also the cold that he released did not go away. But I just realized that Florinas was gone from that mountain, and if the Ice Dragon was defeated, it was likely that the ice on that mountain would melt.

When that happens there will definitely be a lot of people mining there. No, there will be no threat. Moreover, the threat of landslides arises because the snow is still there. Okay, after defeating the Ice Dragon I'll mine there.

“Master, are you sure you gave me a stick with this Evolver skill? Wouldn't it be better to save it in Inventory?” ask Florinas.

“You are why? From the beginning you always asked me that, didn't I tell you to use it? I believe in you, that's all.” I argue.

Florinas seemed to feel guilty, he seemed to imagine a terrible thing with a slightly frightened look on his face. Ice Fairy Queen with ~~~~the snow-colored hair had never shown such an expression before.

Worried about Florinas, I asked, “Do you mind holding this stick? You named her Fairy Staff.”

“Master, honestly using the Witch King's skill is an insult to me. God cursed that skill, and I shouldn't have used it.” Florinas replied with a deep look.

Look, right, right? I'm not very good at being selfish. “Alright, if that's what you want. I'll save it in Inventory.” So the final decision was that I kept the stick, and it wasn't used by Florinas.

“Alright, our next plan is to conquer Ice Dragon. All of us will drain the gold there!” I announced my new plan to two members of my group.

Surprisingly, Quine who was in the same room with us raised her hand, “Walter, allow.. let me enter your group as well.”

Perfectly, now my group members have increased by one strong beautiful woman.
