In front of me is the wall that protects the mansion where the Naberius family's laboratory is supposed to be.
From what Tiamat told me, the person in charge is a high-class devil from a branch of the Naberius family.
To be honest, I don't know what level my strength is. Can I defeat a high-class devil on my own?
I don't think this is the time to hesitate and get depressed. Tiamat is serious about forcing me to do this mission.
My current problem is on the wall. This one is over three meters high and with not enough Lv to go over the fence.
"You know, kill as many devils as you can. Don't worry if you can't beat any of them, I'm watching you closely."
"Thank y---- Aaaah!"
I flew out before I could finish thanking Tiamat, and it wasn't because of a sudden surge of Lv in [Flight].
Bang!
Ouch. That hurt.
Tiamat kicked my ass and sent me flying over the walls.
My ass hurts, damn it!
Mmm... Please don't misunderstand. It doesn't hurt because I've been penetrated.
I think I'm making it worse, so I'll shut up.
"A... a... A dragon!"
"Hello?"
In front of me are two random devild. They wear a uniform and carry a truncheon to defend themselves. They look like two mall security guards.
"What's a dragon doing here?"
"I-I don't know. Anyway, we should alert the top executives."
They're backing up as they speak. They're pointing their clubs at me... Maybe they're trying to intimidate me?
It might be a good try... no, it's not a good try at all.
Are your legs shaking? Well, not just their legs, but their whole body.
And... A club?
You're trying to threaten a dragon with a club?
Honestly, I'm offended.
They don't look powerful. But while I'm at it, I'll check their status.

Just comparing stats, I'm two times stronger than they are. And I'm not counting the skills, especially the title skills that give me an indirect boost in stats that are not directly reflected.
I'm just a dragon child, why is my strength so superior to these devils?
Is the superiority of a dragon so great?
Woah...
This just makes me want to level up.
And for that, I have to kill these two devils in front of me. They're just the first stone in my path.
Why don't I use these two to try out one of my new skills?
[Numbing darkness claw]
What is this feeling?
I feel as if a cold current is running through my body and into my claws. A kind of black fog is surrounding them. I have the feeling that my attacks will be much more powerful with darkness surrounding my claws.
Is this magic?
"What is he doing?"
One of the guards seems visibly frightened. He's the level five guard. The grip on his baton tightens, and he looks at me with a watchful face.
The other guard, the level six, is also scared, but he tries to hide it.
Useless effort.
"Stall him as long as you can, I'm going to warn the superiors."
Huh. How clever of you.
Level 6 intends to sacrifice level 5 to save its own ass. What's this about reporting to superiors? No one would believe that.
Level 5 knows that too, but it doesn't look like they'll argue. Is it because of the difference in levels? But the difference isn't that much, is it?
The level 6 guard is already turning around to leave.
But do you think I'm going to give you a chance?
"Become experience for me."
I jump to them to shorten the distance and cut with my claws enhanced with the [Numbing darkness claw] skill. My claws smoothly cut the flesh of the guards.
Four pieces of meat are all that's left of these guards. Both bodies cut into two parts.

[Level of normal skill [Numbing Darkness Claw] was increased from 1 to 2]
I've gone up 15 levels in a row for killing two weak devils. Isn't this too profitable?
Besides, their strength and level wasn't much higher than the Dark Worms', but the experience points they gave me were much more. What's the reason for this?
Is it because of the race? Or because the devils' intelligence is higher than that of the Dark Worms?
Well, it's not something I need to pay attention to right now. All I need to know is that killing gives me experience points, and with them, I can become stronger and stronger.
I don't seem to find any more guards in the outer courtyard.
I don't know what to say...
Leaving the outer courtyard to these two low-level guards...
I don't really know what to say...
Are the Naberius family idiots?
But I don't think so.
But... if not, why are there only two low-level guards at the entrance?
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this.
I better hurry up and finish the mission quickly.

[Level of normal skill [Numbing Darkness Claw] was increased from 1 to 2]
Not only have I gone up in level, but the skill I've used has leveled up too. The skill has gone up in level by using it... Is this how all skills go up?
It may be one of the reasons, but I don't think it works with all the skills.
For example, the skill [Flight].
As much as I tried to fly on my own, this skill didn't level up. Which means I can't fly yet.
But the [Numbing Darkness Claw] skill has been leveled by just using it once. I'm not lying when I say I didn't know what the skill did, I just had a vague idea because of its name.
I could have asked [God's voice] for help, but I think it's a waste of time. Besides, I don't feel like ending up cursing a certain goddess...
In conclusion.
I believe that [Normal skills] are the ones that can be raised with the continuous use of these.
Am I right, God's voice?
[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv3] is unable to answer.]
I don't know why, but I was expecting this answer. This is why I don't ask you anything.
Seriously, what a useless skill.
Going back to the conclusion.
If [Normal skills] are the ones that level up when you use them, [Characteristic skills] are the ones that level up when I evolve and [Title Skill] level up when I meet special requirements.
At least, that's what I think.
Before we continue, I'm going to check my status.

I've raised my stats quite a bit. If I'm not mistaken, they've gone up about three points per category, more or less.
Not bad for only killing two low-class devils. I still have this bad feeling, though. Who would leave only two such low-level guards guarding the door of a lab where they're investigating something so important?
Something smells bad.
I have to hurry.
...…
Once I entered the mansion, I found what appeared to be a typical, ordinary house.
But since I knew this was not the case, I did what any sane person would have done.
I mean, situations like this are very cliché.
A seemingly ordinary house, but one where a big secret is hidden...
We have to find the secret entrance to the lab!
I have to admit it cost me a lot more than I expected. I went through the living room, bedrooms, library... Any place you can imagine, but I found nothing at all.
Then I thought: How can you take a lab inside a mansion? Since it's not on any of the floors, it'll be under the mansion.
So I used [Dragon Punch], and I tore up the floor of each of the rooms until I got to where I am right now.
"A dragon!"
Can't people be a little more creative?
I mean, this guy just yelled the same thing as the two bums in the driveway.
As far as I can see, there are 12 devils in this kind of hallway.
"Calm down, it's just a baby dragon. We should be able to take care of him."
"Yes, nothing good will come of getting upset."
So there are two devils here who think with their heads. They're identical, I'm sure they're twins.
I wonder what their power levels are.

Not only are they twins in appearance, but their statistics are also identical. What is their mother? Is she a photocopier?
They're stronger than the two low-class devils in the driveway, but they're still weaker than me.
Well, I don't want to waste too much time on them, and I don't want to waste mp. So I'm going to use brute force.
Running at my top speed, I easily catch up with the first of the low-class devils. I grab his neck, and with a [Crack], I snap his neck.
[Aquired 55 experience points]
[Because of title skill [Walking Egg: Lv-] another 55 experience was acquired.]
[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 15 to 17]
I'm getting less and less level by killing these low-class devils.
I don't stop and keep killing the low-class devils. The sooner I kill them, the better.
[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 17 to 22]
After killing ten low-class devils, I've gone up seven levels. I didn't expect much more, and I'm pretty satisfied.
I looked at the two middle-class devils, they took a step back. Are they afraid? I wonder how many experience points they'll give me.
"Hmph, you seem to have some ability to be just a baby dragon."
That's what the twin on the left said.
"Too bad you're facing us. If you knew who we are, you'd pee your pants."
That's what the one on the right said.
Now, seriously.
These two are idiots.
For starters, I'm not a baby dragon. I used to be, but now I'm a proper dragon child.
Second, I can't pee my pants for one simple reason.
I'm not wearing any pants.
I'm a dragon, you know? Dragons don't wear pants. We go with our little brother in the air.
They're making a weird gesture. They're putting their two palms together in the air.
Are they doing a fusion? Are they from dragon ball?
"We're the Cuckold brothers."
[Dragon Punch]
My fist was covered in dark flames and…

It's been more profitable for me to kill the ten low-class devils than these two idiot twins.
