Capítulo 94: Chapter: 94
Chapter: 94
"Be careful, Layla." Sif said, her voice filled with concern as I approached the black and red orb. It was strange to think that this little thing had the power to breach the dimensional gap. I wondered what it was built from to achieve that. The scales of Great Red maybe?
'Okay, System. So how exactly do I do this?'
[Sacred gears are known to be able to absorb objects or essences to enhance themselves. You should feed your Sling Ring to the gear before integrating it into yourself.]
My sling ring!? If this doesn't work and I lose it for nothing, the Ancient One is going to be upset with me... I suppose I have no choice, considering the sling ring doesn't even work here due to the dimensional gap blocking out all dimensional energy from this world.
I pulled my sling ring out of my inventory and held it up to the orb. To my surprise, the gear started to glow red before the sling ring floated out of my grip and sped towards the orb.
I had to look away when there was a bright flash of light upon contact.
"Eeeep!" Asia squeaked in fright.
"Fuck, Layla. Do you know what you're doing?" Raynare shouted out. "I don't want that thing teleporting us all into a volcano or something!"
Her concerns were not completely unfounded. Thankfully, though, the sling ring appeared to have been absorbed by the gear with no noticeable detriments to the gear itself.
Now came the dangerous part.
People weren't really meant to have TWO sacred gears. It tended to get... explosive. As in you would literally explode from the power overload.
[You'll be fine. As the Gamer, your body can adapt to any new powers you gain.]
That was about as good an explanation as I was going to get, I supposed. I gently picked up the gear, hoping it wouldn't randomly activate again. I moved it over my chest. The gear glowed again—though not as bright this time—before it moved itself towards my chest. It was a strange feeling as the gear metaphysically slipped inside my very soul.
Everything seemed to go okay; I didn't feel any—
"Ugh!" I grunted in pain as a hot sensation spread throughout my body!
"Layla!" All three girls shouted at once.
Sif ran up to me in concern. "Are you okay?" her voice filled with worry.
I felt like liquid fire was coursing through me! I checked my stats, though, and my HP wasn't going down. I wasn't taking any damage, so I took that as a good sign. The rest of my stats, though—
"Holy shit!" I exclaimed when I saw my stats.
[Name: Layla of the Fallen]
[Title: Angel of Hope]
[Level: 14]
[Sacred Gears: Purger of Darkness, Orb of Anywhere]
[HP: 4100→8200]
[MP: 900→1800]
[Vigor: 110→220]
[Strength: 35→70]
[Intelligence: 90→180]
[Luck: 40→80]
[Skills: Observe 3, Angelic Mastery 4, Acting 3, Light Manipulation 5, HP to MP conversion]
[Perks: Never Tell Me the Odds, Mana Siphoner]
[Drawbacks: Sin of Lust]
[Available Free Stat Points: 40]
The pain slowly faded away as I looked at my new stats in shock! Every stat just doubled! That was a huge power-up I just got! On top of that, I still had 40 extra points from leveling up four times. I figured I might as well use those to top off [Intelligence] to 200 and [Luck] to 100.
[Congratulations! For reaching 100 'Intelligence' you've gained the perk Mana Replenisher! Mana Replenisher has replaced Mana Siphoner!]
[Mana Replenisher - Defeating enemies now restores 10x their level as MP]
Woah! Now that was useful. Basically, if I fought a level 10 enemy, I'd get 100 MP back after beating them. If I was fighting a large group of weak enemies, I could now essentially keep fighting forever as I'd never run out of MP!
[Congratulations! For reaching 200 'Intelligence' you've gained the perk Mana Burst!]
[Mana Burst - You can temporarily raise all of your stats by sacrificing 10x the amount of Mana!]
Damn, that was another good one. If I sacrificed 1000 MP, I could raise any of my stats temporarily by 100! That would allow me to punch above my current weight class by a lot!
[Congratulations! For reaching 100 'Luck' you've gained the perk Lucky Shot!]
[Every attack now has a 10% chance of doing double damage. This perk can be toggled on or off.]
[Name: Layla of the Fallen]
[Title: Angel of Hope]
[Level: 14]
[Sacred Gears: Purger of Darkness, Orb of Anywhere]
[HP: 8200]
[MP: 2000]
[Vigor: 220]
[Strength: 70]
[Intelligence: 200]
[Luck: 100]
[Skills: Observe 3, Angelic Mastery 4, Acting 3, Light Manipulation 5, HP to MP conversion]
[Perks: Never Tell Me the Odds, Mana Replenisher, Lucky Shot, Mana Burst]
[Drawbacks: Sin of Lust]
[Available Free Stat Points: 0]
[Skill Up Point: 0]
That was the last new skill I got. This one sounded great for someone like me who likes to occasionally rain down hordes of [Lightspears]. If some of those hit for double damage, then my DPS just went up by a lot. It's also good I can turn it off because I wouldn't want to accidentally kill someone while sparring.
"Hmph... you're insane for actually taking in a second Sacred Gear. It's a miracle that you didn't end up exploding." Raynare commented from the side. I could see the envy in her eyes. She was extremely jealous right now.
"Layla!" Sif scolded me. "You could have died from that!? Why didn't you let someone else take the Sacred Gear!?"
"It was my Sling Ring that fixed the thing and got it working. Therefore, the gear should have been mine as well." I said. "Also, I was fairly certain that I would survive. And obviously, I did."
"This must be a blessing from the Lord! The Heavenly Father must truly love you to allow you to wield two of his creations!" Asia exclaimed.
"Whatever..." Raynare said bitterly. "Who cares about some dumb Sacred Gear anyway! If you've got the thing working again, go and rescue Azazel now!"
I supposed I could do that now.
I could feel the new gear inside me. It was called the [Orb of Anywhere]. It was supposed to be able to travel anywhere. Azazel obviously created it to travel anywhere in the world, but even he never expected it to be able to punch through the dimensional gap itself.
There was only one problem...
I didn't actually know where Earth Marvel was! As in, I didnt know its dimensional coordinates. Luckily for me Azazel kept a list of all of the dimensions he accessed so far and their coordinates when he was trying to find me. Unluckily for me, the list did not appear to be in any particular order. There looked to be about 30 dimensions listed on the paper. Out of those 30, the people/creatures in 15 of those worlds managed to kill the stray devils Azazel forcefully sent through as guinea pigs.
That was both good and bad. It was good, in that I had fewer dimensions to check. But it was bad in that those dimensions had people strong enough to kill low/mid ranked stray devils.
I guess I was going to have to try them out one by one to find my way back to Earth Marvel.
