With the complete annihilation of the Great Sage Mobius, my level has increased again.

''My level has reached 65. The conditions for obtaining the [Otherworlder] sub-skill within the skill have been met. [Command Effect EX] will be released.''

　This seems to be a skill that raises its ability against ancient weapons and demons under my command.
　The effect range exists, and it's up to 2600 meters from my location.

　...... That's pretty wide.

　The formula is "level x 40m", and the effect area seems to expand as you level up.
　Immediately, I activated it.

　Then, I received a communication from the golems.
　A chat-like window opens in my head.


　＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

　Guardian Golem A: I'm starting to get some strength!

　Guardian Golem B: You are so light!　I can't lose!

　Destroy Golem A: I feel like I have a stronger connection to the Master!

　Destroy Golem B: Arigato, Master!

　Destroy Golem C: Keep up the good work!

　Destroy Golem D: Destroy!

　＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿



　No, you don't have to destruct any more.
　And the undead have already been wiped out.

　However, since we don't know what's going on in the world, I decided to have the golems continue to be on guard for a while.

The [Command Effect EX] effect seemed to extend to the demons that were revived by Necroearth, and even the black dragon was roaring happily.

''Garlul♪''

　A red aura emanated from his entire body, giving off an atmosphere of how strong he looked.
　Suddenly my eyes met with the black dragon.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the future.
　Did he say thank you?
　What can I say, this black dragon has a rather human-like quality to it.

　In addition to ......[Command Effect EX], there were additional skills and subskills added.

''The conditions for obtaining the [Creation] in-skill sub-skill have been met. [Awakening Evolution] will be released.''

　Oh.
　Recently, there have been more and more 【otherworldly】 related subskills, but this time it seems to be 【Creation】 related.
　Apparently, items that meet certain conditions can be evolved into something more powerful.

　There's already an item that meets the requirements at .......
　It's the Heroic Slayer's Great Sword.
　The conditions for evolution are as follows.

'1. Activate "Moon Protection S+" on the night of the full moon to completely release its power.
　2. 'I must use this sword to defeat the one who destroyed the Heroic Slayer's Great Sword 5,000 years ago (Mobius Megistris).

　As luck would have it, I just completed both conditions.
　I'm curious to see what kind of item it will evolve into, and let's use [Awakening Evolution].
　I put the Heroic Slayer's Great Sword back in the item box and I activated the skill.

''Hero Slayer's Great Sword x 1 → Moonlight Great Sword Artemis x 1.''

　Artemis, I believe, was a god in Greek mythology.
　She is a goddess of the moon, so the name makes sense.

Upon inspection, the following explanation came to mind.

'Artemis, the Great Sword of Moonlight.
　Description: the true form of the Hero-Slayer's Great Sword.
　　　　　It is strongly blessed by the moon, and its power is always fully released.
　　　　　It is capable of sending a blade of light flying a long distance by packing magical power.
　　　　　It is registered to Kou Koussaka as a master, and cannot be handled by anyone else.
　Grant: "Moon Blessing EX," "Skill Bind EX," and "Self-Restoration S+

　The Heroic Slayer's Great Sword had an effect called "Moon Blessing S+", but this one is called "Moon Blessing EX".
　Perhaps the upper level version of "blessing" is "blessing".

　Artemis, the Great Sword of Moonlight.
　Its name is long, so let's basically abbreviate it as "Artemis".
　It's handy to be able to attack from a distance as well.
　It tickles my middle-earth, like sending slashes flying.
　If you ever get a chance to fight a demon, give it a try.　



　...... and well, that's how I was trying out various new skills, but in reality, I didn't move a single fingertip.

　The skills can be activated with just a reminder.
　Even the time has probably not even passed a minute.

　I looked back at Lily.

'Mobius is gone. We're good to go now.
'Oh, thank you ......!　That, er, ...... ko, was nice, is ......

　Lily looks down, mumbling and mumbling.
　I'm sure she can't put her emotions into words.
　It's not surprising, right?
　It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it.

'Good job, Kou.

　Iris calls out to me as if she were laboring.

''I know because I have skills like [Appraisal] too, but Mobius, as a race, was a no-life king.
Yeah. I hear it's the highest ranking undead.
''In the Adventurer's Guild, the No-Life King is designated as an X-rated demon with a danger level of X. It's one more S-rated.

　I'm not sure how much of an S-rank is a good idea, but for now, I guess it means it's extremely dangerous.
　Well, that's true, isn't it?

　Mobius was accompanied by tens of thousands of undead and was able to use various high-level magic at will.
　Even if he lost his body, his soul alone could keep him alive for thousands of years.

　Once again, Mobius was a cheat-grade existence .......
　I'm amazed that he was able to be exterminated.　

　As I was thinking about this, Iris explained in detail about X-ranked demons.

The X-rank is sometimes called the 'natural disaster class' or 'unbeatable race'. It's a miracle if they can be sealed or defeated, usually it's a losing battle.
Even at ......, we won.
''Yes, and it's unharmed. That means Ko's power is X-ranked or higher. It's really amazing.
I'm an F-rated adventurer myself.
'...... It's a tremendous rank scam. I mean, don't you ever get to rank up?
When I get back to town, I'll ask the guildmaster.

　The previous time when he fought the swarm of demons in Onen should have already been reported to the Adventurer's Guild headquarters in the royal capital.
　Probably the processing of the achievement is delayed due to fact-checking, etc.

　...... If you add in the defeat of Mobius to this place, the employees of the headquarters might die of overwork.

　Anyway, the fight is over.
　Let's go back to the city of Surie.

　As we were about to get on the back of the black dragon, Lily said one last time.

''Ko-san ...... thank you so, so, so much!

　You're welcome.
　Well, it's only natural for an adult to help a child.

　When Lily grows up, if there's a child in need like this one, give her a hand.

　...... I don't think there are many natural disaster-level incidents like this one. Maybe.
