210-The strongest grimoire




 I was seized after an attack with Noll and the others and made to give up on drawing the gacha.
 d*mn, even though it's a confirmed UR... Well, if I pursue it any further, it looks like the damage will be too great, so it's wise to retreat from the game around here. I know when to pull out.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out.

"Huh, so you've finally given up.... I wish you would be in a position to stop them.

'That was quite a turnout for both SSR and UR this time. I can't wait to see the new Grimoire.

There's also the Nibelung's Ring of UR. What effect will the next one have?

''My black coat is also enhanced. When I get that ability back...

 I didn't get any units, but there were quite a few notable equipment and items this time around.
 The Grimoire and Nibelung URs were on my mind too, and I'm looking forward to seeing what their abilities are.
 Let's take a look at the SR first.

 ------
Fine cuisine (10 times left)
 You can serve one meal at random. The items that come out taste supreme.
● High-quality sweets (10 times left)
 You can serve one candy at random. The items that come out are the ultimate in flavor.
 ------.

Okura-dono! Okura-dono! Here, here, here!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't get so excited. The pastries are after dinner.

Yes, sir! What in the world will be served in SR's cooking?

Nole really is a picky eater.

 Noor is waving his arms around excitedly.
 Even R's food is delicious, but what would be served in SR's high class food?
 It must be the most gorgeous and gorgeous food I've ever seen.
 When I selected a high class dish with that expectation, what came out was a steak that made a sizzling sound.
 It was already cut into bite size pieces. The size is normal........no, maybe a little small.
 What, is this all there is? Although it looks good.........

'I thought it would be more awesome since it's called "high class" but it's just an ordinary steak, surprisingly.

'Nole! Can't wait to try it!

Mm-hmm, bad, isn't it? Well then, I'll take it then!

 Noll enthusiastically picked up his fork and chewed on a slice of meat.
 I thought he was going to chew it with muggs and start screaming about how good it was as usual, but a single tear ran down Noll's cheek.

''Noor-chan, what's wrong!

She's crying. What happened?

 In front of our bewildered faces, Noor, who had swallowed his flesh with a gulp, began to cry out while crying.

It's a good thing that you can't get away with it. It's a good thing that you're a good boy.

'Is it that good? That's a little too much...

I'm curious to see you looking this good.

'Your tone of voice is gone because it's too good to be true...'

 That knoll is crying as he chews on every bite.
 Don't tell me that the ingredients for the high grade stuff are insanely awesome?
 What the hell kind of meat is this we'll have to try it later.

 The next step is SR's magic gun.
 Now that we're at the inn, let's just check the ability of the magic cannon and not materialize anything large.

 ------.
Magical Cannon
 Attack power +1000
 Action speed -50%.
 Movement Speed -50%.
 Hit rate is reduced, except for the gunners.
 ------

''It has a high attack power for an SR, but it has many disadvantages. You can't use this stuff properly.''

''The magic cannon is equipment used by the gunner. I could equip it on any unit at least, but it has too many disadvantages, it's like a special equipment for the gunner.

'If this is an SR, then a gunner with UR equipment sounds awesome.

''Oh the UR gunner unit, Els, was awful. His high firepower range attack from super long range was a threat.

'Sounds great just to hear it! I'd love to meet you, Elsie!

Hmm, that's going to make the hunt easier.

 The magic cannon is a big cannon using magic law, as the name suggests.
 The gunner who uses it has a slow movement speed, so its role is to basically aim at the enemy from the rear with gunfire.
 It was a difficult unit to deal with, with high power, but its attack speed was slow, and if it was out of range, it was hard to move.
 However, the UR unit Els Shoude had an amazingly long range and tremendous firepower.
 If I could summon it, it would be a great asset, but I'm afraid that if I let it bombard me, it would mess up my hunting grounds.
 Shoot them until they run out of bullets, and when they run out of bullets, shoot them! And he was a character who said things that didn't make sense.

 ------
Surveillance camera
 A small flying camera that can be operated in conjunction with a smartphone. If it is destroyed, it will be refilled at a certain time. Can be linked to other apps as well. Abuse, no, never.
 ------.

 When I embodied it, I found a black, round object stuck in a depressed base.
 Is this round object about the size of a fingertip a camera?
 At the same time, your phone will receive a notification [Will it work with the reconnaissance camera? I chose Yes.
 Then the black object that was stuck in the hollow comes up and the screen of the phone switches to show us.
 There are also stick-type control buttons and up and down buttons on the screen, and it looks like you can move the camera around freely using them.

It's convenient. With this, you can see your opponent from a safe place and get a head start.

It might have come in handy if it had been there during the fight against the demons.

But the fact that it's being abused is what bothers me. Mr. Okura, I don't want to say what's wrong with you, but you mustn't do it.

I won't do it!

 This Heihachi, whose sincerity seems to have taken shape, will not be abused! .... yeah, I'm definitely not going to do that.
 More importantly, it's a bit of a challenge to operate this on a smartphone.
 The screen is so small that it takes a lot of getting used to the detailed controls.
 At the very least, it would be easier to operate if the screen was a tablet size... but I'd need a separate controller.
 Even if it's broken, it seems to be replenished like the Centimeter Turbo, so I'll have to practice.

 ------
A supreme sleeping platform
 This bed gives you a taste of heavenly comfort. Relaxation from fatigue, mental stability, and easy sleep after entering the room.
 ------.

 As soon as she saw the description, Luna shouted with a twinkle in her eye.

''Heihachi!''

Yeah, yeah, that's Luna's.

Thank you!

It's rare to see Luna so lively.

'Hmmm, she's very pretty. It makes me happy to see you happy too.

Good for you, Luna! I just need you to let me sleep with you once in a while!

 Luna has a very nice smile on her face as she was given a supreme bunk.
 She really doesn't compromise when it comes to sleeping. It's been a long time since I've seen her face so full of life.
 It's only an SSR, and the effect is amazing. Whenever I get tired, I want to be able to use it too.
 I should set it up in Luna's room as soon as I get home.

 ------I'm going to have to get it up in Luna's room as soon as I get home.
Mirror Shield
 Defense +300
 Magic Resistance +70
 Reflects magic attacks at a certain rate.
 ------.

 It's a tower shield whose surface reflects like a mirror.

It is a mirror-like shield, isn't it? It looks like it will break easily.

'It seems to specialize in preventing magic in terms of abilities. It doesn't seem like it would be of much use on a regular basis?

''It's great that you have a high magic resistance and even a reflection. Let's give it a try, Estelle-san.

'Oh, so you want to try it with Sisha then? I want to try out my new Grimoire too, so maybe I'll go full throttle on it.

No, sir I'm afraid I'll be extinguished in an instant.

"Huh, I'm just kidding. I don't want any reflection.

 It's a magic-specific shield, but if it's attacked by Esther's magic, it's going to vaporize without being able to prevent it.
 Even if I had this shield, I would never want to be attacked by it.

 ------.
Oboro's Ring
 Makes it difficult to recognize the person equipped, and eliminates signs and footsteps. Activation of the effect can be controlled at will.
 ------

 It's a ring with a dull yellow gemstone on it. This ability is quite useful in a ring.

"This one looks pretty useful. Perfect for catching people off-guard!

That's the idea again... but if you use it with the Invisible Cloak, you'll never find it.

I think I can play a prank on little Luna with this!

...we're going to hunt?

I'm sorry...

 Freesia honestly bowed her head as Luna, who bared her fangs, stared at her.
 If it was just the Invisible Cloak, Luna would probably notice it, but if she even used this ring, it's indeed unlikely she'd be able to detect it.
 I'd like to let Freesia, who is good at sniping, have it, but since she's usually going to use it for pranks and such, I won't give it to her.

 ------
Magic Booster
 Spend MP to increase your movement speed. Aim for the Speedster.
 ------.

 When embodied, it's a white cylindrical object with a jet-like shape on the back side. It's just like a thruster.

''I thought the name was supposed to increase the attack power of magic, but it's not. It's a pity.

'Sounds like an interesting item! I want to use it!

It's too dangerous to be inside, so let's try it outside.

 ------
Hate Absorber
 Significantly increases hostility towards the equiped.
 Defense +400
 ------

 What came out was a sticker with a hand with the middle finger up.
 I'm already fighting with it just for looks....

'Equipment for a shield role, huh? This will make it easier to manage the hate of the demons, but I'm a little afraid of being the only one targeted.

What are you talking about? It's a good idea to be a shield. I'll do recovery magic for you.

'Oh, please. I can't play shield or anything like that without Sisha's recovery.

 I can play the role of a shield without worrying about it, and that's because of Sisha's recovery.
 It's always a rivalry between us, but I'm indebted to you, so I can't get mad at you.
 Well, they don't really mean it, it's just like they're playing around.

 ------
Liberation Stone
 Temporarily strengthens units and special equipment to 5 Stars. After use, this item will disappear.
 ------.

'Wow, this item looks great! We can be just like you, Karon!

'So this is temporary too, like a summoning stone. I guess it's supposed to strengthen one of us in a pinch?

I'd like to taste it just once. It's a pity that I don't think I'll ever be used.

 Even if it's temporary, it's reassuring to be able to strengthen the Nolls to 5 stars.
 It's likely to be used in an emergency situation, but then is the target a nol or an ester?
 Sisuha is a recovering player, as I said myself, so I'm sorry, but she's not likely to be a candidate.

 Now, here's the fun part, UR time!

 ------
3D map application
 A map in which every possible location is displayed in three dimensions. The movement of objects, such as people, is also displayed in real time within a certain range.
 ------

 The inn we are now in was displayed when I started to try it out.
 Although the blue dot was only reflected in the plane seen from the top with the map application until now, the inside of the building is displayed in a three-dimensional shape with this application.
 Even the inside of each room is recreated, so much so that you can see where and what the person inside is doing right now, down to the smallest of movements.
 You can't tell what kind of person they are, but you can still tell if they have hostile intentions or not by the blue color of their body.
 You can move it freely in 360 degrees and zoom in on it.
 You can also switch to showing the entire town, not just the buildings, and when you zoom in to a certain extent, the buildings, and of course the people in them, are shown.
 If people are displayed until it is reduced, the map is going to be filled with blue. Is it considered properly? This is a bad app.

The map app has finally entered the 3D era. I'll finally be able to see the difference in elevation.

Oh, it's amazing! Each and every one of the buildings is reflected properly!

'Every single person on foot is moving, too! It's going to be fun to watch!

'I can see what's going on outside without leaving the house. Sounds easy.

This is another app that looks like it could be used for bad things. It's a great idea to combine it with a surveillance camera.

'This will allow us to get even more information about the other party before we go in. It's going to make exploring the maze a lot easier.

 With such a detailed display, the range of strategies will expand.
 The position is from the front, but in addition to that, being able to see the opponent's movements is quite an advantage.
 It would be a good idea to combine this with the reconnaissance camera.

 ------
Psychohorn
 Attack Evasion [Large]
 Hit Compensation [Large]
 Action speed +50%.
 It greatly enhances the user's senses and allows them to understand the movements and thoughts of their surroundings.
 ------.

 The embodiment is a single black horn.
 Hmmm, no way, you're going to wear this on your head?
 It's more like an antenna than a horn when you think about it in terms of ability.

'I suppose it's what the description says, but the last explanation is an oddly stinky item. Even if it's called movement and thoughts of the surroundings.

Why don't you just try it out?

Yeah. Will you know what it looks like when you use it?

 At Sisha's urging, I quickly put the psycho-horn on my forehead.
 Immediately afterwards, all sorts of information flowed into my head.
 Hey, this brilliant sensation! This is the power of the psyche-horn!
 Mmmm, this thought that flows in strongly is............................Noll!

'Nole, now you want to eat meat!

'Oh! That's right!

'Freesia, you want to go out and play!

'Yes! Great, you know what you're thinking!

Even we know that.

Do you really understand this...?

It's a tough call. Do you want me to try it out later?

 I didn't understand the messiness of Noor and Freesia's thoughts because they were too strong.
 In fact, I'm just assuming it, and I'm not even sure if they can really read my thoughts.
 Even without that ability, the evasion and hit correction is strong, so I'll experiment again at a later date.

 ------
Grimoire "Gras
 Always consumes MP while in use.
 Absorbs attacks and support spells and converts them into MP.
 Consuming 50% more MP doubles the effectiveness of your next attack or support spell.
 ------.

 It's an orange book with a dog-like creature with three heads on the cover. Is it a Cerberus?
 The ability comes with a demerit, but it's not quite egregious.
 Esther, who received it, is smiling happily.

''Huh, I finally got my hands on UR Grimoire. It's going to consume a bit more magic power, but the effect is strong enough.

''Being able to absorb enemy magic and convert it into magic is also powerful. The problem is that there aren't many magic-using demons out there, right?

'It's still pretty strong though... hmm? I'm getting some sort of indication.

 You can consume all Grimoire on your phone's screen and convert it to [Grimoire "Septem Pekkata"]. The enhancement rate of each series will not be reflected].

 Can you use it to make another grimoire?

'Ho-ho, isn't it powerful to consume multiple things to become a new item?

How many grimoires were there in all?

This is the seventh glass that has come out this time. 6 SSRs and 1 UR are consumed, so they should be very strong. It's a good idea to use only one of them, so that when another child who can use magic comes along, you'll be in a bit of trouble. Brother, what do we do?

 Hmm, surely if more than one person can use magic, you could give each of them a Grimoire with their strongest attribute.
 Even now, Luna can use dark magic, so I can give her Luxuria.
 But fighting with a spear is stronger, and there's not much advantage to using magic.
 There's no point in forcing her to use Grimoire.
 Even if I could summon other units in the gacha, I don't think I'll be able to get them to spread out and use seven of them.
 Then it would be far more powerful to convert them and have one Estelle use them.

'Since we're only using Estelle right now, let's convert it to strengthen our current strength, and it's hard to get one person to use 7 Esters. Besides, if we keep spinning the gacha, we'll be able to gather another Grimoire.

'Huh, I'm glad you're thinking of me. Well, let's convert then.

 Every time I used a different attribute, I had to switch Grimoire out of my bag and make it look like I was having a hard time.
 If you make it to Septem Pekkata, it will be one, and it looks like you should convert it in those areas as well.
 When I selected Yes, [Ela, Spelvia, Inwidia, Acadia, Luxuria, Awalitia, and Gras have been consumed and converted to Septem Pekkata].
 And what appeared in front of me was a book with a black cover depicting all the creatures that were on the cover of each Grimoire.

 ------
Grimoire's "Septem Peccata
 Always consumes MP while in use.
 Increases the user's MP recovery speed.
 Absorbs attacks and supportive magic and converts them into MP.
 Attack power of all attribute magic +150%.
 Temporarily lowers the attack target's anomaly resistance.
 Temporarily disorients the target of an attack, giving it a 30% chance of being temporarily disoriented.
 Temporarily reduces the target's vision by 30%.
 Temporarily reduces the target's sense of smell by 50%.
 Temporarily reduces the target's movement speed by 30%.
 Spends 50% more MP to triple the effectiveness of the next attack and support magic.
 ------

"How many powers do you cram into one piece of equipment? I mean, isn't it quite enhanced?

''You've gone from 100% attack power for each attribute to 150%. And your Gras abilities have been doubled or tripled.

''What would happen if Esther's attack was tripled.......combined with her skills......''

Hmm, scary to think about.

'I want to see more of your magic, Esther! Let's try it next time!

'Hmmm, yes. Let's go try it out somewhere.

 Holding the strongest Grimoire to her chest, Esther looks terribly happy.
 
 Naturally, the GC didn't have this kind of feature, but it would definitely be a bad one if it was implemented, like getting items together and turning them into something super rare...
 All Grimoire's abilities, plus the ability to increase the attack power of all attribute magic and even triple its power, albeit only once. It's like a skill now.
 It means that if you have enough MP, you can triple it all the time, and it's a completely busted item!
 This alone has strengthened Esther-san tremendously. I'm counting on you!

 Next up was the Nibelung ring, which I was equally curious about.

 ------
The Ring of the Nibelung, "Twilight of the Gods
 Attack Speed +10% Movement Speed +10% Attack +50 Defense +50 Constantly adds a state of enchantment.
 PT Bonus: Attack Speed +50% Movement Speed +50% Agility +30 Magic Resistance +20 HP Recovery Speed Increase MP Recovery Speed
 ------

The Nibelung's ring also has an UR.

'It's like a series of these too, but... whoa, I'm getting a display.

[All Nibelung rings can be consumed and converted to [Maiden of the Line]. The enhancement rate of each series will not be reflected]
 The fact that this display appears means that the Nibelung had a total of four rings.

''Oh! I am a maiden! It is exactly the right name for me!

'You still speak of the self-proclaimed damsel...'

"I do not call myself that, sir! For all intents and purposes, I am a maiden! God! You must convert it quickly!

 Prompted by a pompous and angry Noll, I selected Yes. [We have consumed Gold of the Line, Valkyrie, Siegfried, and Twilight of the Gods and converted them into Maidens of the Line]

 ------.
● Line Maiden "PT Sharing
 Attack speed +80%.
 Movement speed +80%.
 Attack power +500
 Defense +500
 Magic resistance +30
 HP recovery speed increased.
 Increased MP recovery speed
 Increased skill recovery speed
 Extended skill duration
 ------

 The converted ring is still a gold ring, just like the original Nibelung, but the ability is also amazing.

''With just one ring, this has become another extraordinary ability, and if it's shared by the PT, does that mean it applies to everyone?''

The overall ability value is strong, but what I'm particularly interested in is skill-related. It's very rare to find items that enhance your skills.

Increased skill recovery speed?

'That would be great! I don't want to pass out again!

 All of his abilities are pretty strong, but what I'm still interested in are his increased skill recovery speed and extended duration.
 Depending on the increase in skill recovery speed, these skills will become easier to use in the future.

 Now that we've confirmed all the new items, the only thing left to do is to strengthen the dumbed-down items.
 Let's start with Luna's armor.

 ------
Bloodstained Black Clothes 2
 HP+1000
 Attack power +300
 Defensive power +1000
 damage limitation
 Automatic HP recovery
 Pause Extension [Medium]
 ------

 It's amazing how much UR has strengthened...I didn't know that just by piling one on top of the other, they'd become so strong...
 Perhaps she's checking her condition right away, Luna is basking in her blood-red black robe.

''Hmm, looks like my true abilities have returned to the black robe.

"True ability?

Hmm, let me show you. That's how my black coat is supposed to be used.

 True ability, you say? Come to think of it, before I started confirming it, I was muttering about how I wish I had that ability back.
 As I look at Luna, who stands with her arms crossed to see what she's going to do now, something strange happens to her cloak.
 The edges start to move blatantly and unnaturally, and it starts to grow with a bizzare vigor.
 It got tangled up in a cup that was on the desk away from me and lifted it up and came back to Luna.

'It's moving, sir!

What's going on, Luna!

'This black robe is stained with my blood. That's why I was originally able to move it freely. I was in trouble because I was called out and couldn't move. I made it while I was nearly anemic...

You mean it's been enhanced and its powers are back. Is it something like your brother's Centiturbra or Karon's sword?

''Well if this cloak was my original ability from the beginning, I might not have come close.

 I didn't know Luna's cloak had that kind of ability. Indeed, if this ability had been there from the beginning, Sisha would have been rolled up in circles even if she got close.
 
 It looks like Luna is very happy to see me for some reason.
 Finally, it's time for the customary Excalibur reinforcement.

 ------
Excalibur☆61
 Attack Power +6390
 Action speed +350%.
 Skill Addition [Golden Strike]
 State Failure: Poison (small)
 Wood Special Effect: Damage +10%.
Pot lid☆45
 Defensive power +2700
 Defensive speed +20%.
Adamant Armor☆6
 Defensive power +2200
 Defensive speed +30%.
Magic Blade☆12
 Attack power +750
 Attack speed +20%.
 Ignore Defensive Attacks
 ------

''The fight with Master Testudo saved me, but when I see these enhancements, I have a thought...''

The Excalibur is still the same, but the lids of the pots and pans are getting stronger and stronger too, aren't they?

''Ufufu, your Magic Blade is growing nicely. I can't wait to catch up with Okura-san's Excalibur!

'I love it. I want to grow some kind of SR equipment too!

I wonder how much it can be enhanced. But after all, it's not as much of an addition or increase in ability as UR and the like.

'Hmm, my black coat has been enhanced considerably. I'm content to just move freely.

 SRs are easy to dabble in and can be enhanced in numbers, but if you stack the URs 4 or 5 times, they're going to overtake you even with Excalibur.
 If this one has an upper limit then it's going to overtake me sooner or later... but for now I'll just have to use the enhanced Excalibur.
 I don't care if it's a weapon or armor, I need some cool and nasty equipment soon.

 Well, I guess we're done with that. It's been a long day and I'm tired, but it feels like the day is finally over.
 I was able to enjoy the mess like this because we all made it to safety.
 I really need to thank Karon for coming with the summoning stone.
 Oh, speaking of which, I have to give Sisha a gift from Karon-chan.

''Oh yeah, there was something that Karon asked me to give Sisha.

What? Is this from Mr. Caron?

 I handed the golden jar I received from Karon to Sisha.
 There was a chap-chap sound from inside, so he immediately guessed what was in it.

''Is this alcohol, sir?''

Yeah, that's the drink I was going to buy you. He gave me a promise to keep my word.

 Hearing my words, Sisha pretends to be silent and thoughtful, and then opens her mouth as if she has an idea.

''Let's keep this in a safe place until the next time I see Karon-san. We promised to have a drink together, so...''

'Wow, I thought you'd start drinking with glee in no time. It's a nice thing to say sometimes.

'You are so rude! I can use some common sense, too! I usually dare to break it.

"He's just a bigger pain in the ass! Don't do it knowingly!

 You usually say and do all these insane things, but you know what you're doing!
 I know he's a good guy at heart, but this guy really is a helpless priest.

''Hmph, like Sisha said, I think it's better to wait until I see Karon again. I can't drink, though.

I would like to have a drink, but I don't drink very well.... But I want to enjoy it with Karon.

'I want to have a drink with you! I'm very confident in my drinking strength!

''Hm, whether you drink or not, I'd like to see that dragon god again. At that time, I'll throw you a party.

 Sounds like the Noles want to get together with Karon again.
 Now that I've made that promise, I'll have to work harder to get him to come to me officially.
 Well, if things are going well, the Noles will have no choice but to agree to go hunting for the magical stone!
