Is it wrong to ask a catgirl for a date after you YEETED her through multiple walls?
Oh wow! a new webtoon! I wonder what it is about!
"10 years ago, monsters have begun to invade through gates"
*sighs in disappointment*
*reads it anyway*
=========
Ainz was watching Bell have a spar with the catgirl while ignoring the numerous reports written by the floor guardians laying on his desk.
Who the hell would worry about work when there is an action sequence going on in a show playing just beside him??
"Umu" he commented with a nod to his head as he saw Bell try to keep his distance as any good spell caster should.
A knock on his office doors made him instinctively try to pause the video before answering, only to facepalm as he was reminded that this is no YouTube and he can't do that.
"Enter," The supreme leader of Nazaric said and allowed the visitor to enter his office. Who was the visitor? It was the arch-devil Demiurg. His face showed a smile that made Ainz realize that he came with good news.
Demiurg is always smirking, but at some point, Ainz somehow developed the ability to see the minimal changes in his smile to recognize what mood he is in.
There is the "normal grin" which is the grin that he wears every day.
Then there is the "something good just happened grin" which he wears only when he succeeded in his experiments.
And let's not forget the "im going to torture you until your body will be broken and your soul shattered, then im gonna heal you and do it again smirk" which he wears a lot while in his laboratory. Or as Ainz calls it...Demiurge happy farm!
But in all seriousness, there was a brief second when Ainz felt terrified when he saw what was happening in Demiurge laboratory, his condition as an undead however quickly replaced that horror with indifference.
"It is an honor to see you Lord Ainz" the Arch-devil bowed deeply. "I have come to share a magnificent discovery! Forgive me for barging into your office just for this reason, but I felt like such good news should be reported to you as soon as possible!"
"Umu, speak." Ainz said while paying attention to Bell and Anakitty spar by glancing in the direction of the pop-up screen every once in a while.
"it's the magic stones you told me to research, my lord." this caught the undead attention. "After many different and unique experiments, I have decided to try and see its possible effects on summoned creatures." Demiurge did the classical anime move where he moves his glasses that makes them glow. "At some point I allowed the summons to decide by themselves what they want to do with them, and once I gave my order to do what they want, they started to eat it like it was a delicacy. After that, the magic from the stones seemed to once again crystalize in their body and sustain them thus allowing them to exist in our world even after they should have returned to their realm."
Ainz now understood why Demiurge was so happy. With summons that don't unsummon themselves after the time limit for the spell ends, Nazaric can start to build an army of permanent summoned creatures.
'it seems like I will need to give young Bell more missions for stone gathering.' the undead thought and started to laugh happily before he was once again calmed by his undead nature.
Nazaric will get more powerful in the near future, that's for sure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakitty was forced to jump back as the ground below her feat shattered. chunks of earth flew in all directions making the spectators step back to avoid getting hit. Bell was fine, protected by his {lesser shield}, Anakitty on the other hand just dodged and swat away all incoming projectiles as it was nothing.
'creating a Rasengan directly inside the ground was a good idea' Bell complimented himself.
The catgirl felt a grip on her arm, then on her leg, her back, her boo-
"Alright, that one was on purpose!" She yelled at Bell who just whistled innocently. "you think this will push me away?" there was no resistance at all, she moved as if the ethereal hands were not gripping her body.
"I never wanted to push you." Bell smirked "no matter how strong you are, you can't push against gravity without the ability to fly." he said and raised his index finger to the sky. His opponent eyes widen as she realized Bell plan and felt the hands pull her upwards.
A lone {Magic Hand} with a Rasengan on it hovered near the catgirl as she trashed in the air, trying to get back to the ground. The trajectory was calculated, and the {Magic Hand} with the Rasengan was ready to meet its target...but Bell felt as if something is missing...
"Ah" he let out and realized what he needs to do. "[Maximize magic]" The Rasengan began to tremble before it increased in size and spin even faster.
"fuck" was Anakitty last word before she was blasted away and went through multiple walls of the twilight mansion.
The Rasengan can power up his existing spells, like his {Fire Bolt}, sure. But a Rasengan itself is already a powerful attack! ...when the anime wants it to be one...
Like seriously! In some episodes, the Rasengan causes a MASSIVE crater, and in other episodes, it's just a fancy ball that you use to punch someone!
Thankfully, the Rasengan that Bell uses is the OP kind and is probably his strongest spell.
For now.
"Even the simplest spell can prove to be a game-changer if used correctly" Riveria spoke her mind as she approached Bell, being highly impressed by his usage of {Magic Hand}. She herself used that spell only to move stuff around and to hasten her paperwork.
"Meh, a levitation spell would be easier to use, but I still have to figure that one out." The boy said, not seeing anything impressive in his tactic.
"Don't sell yourself short, it was an admirable tactic and a good lesson to everyone who saw it" She then looked at the crowd that was going crazy. An Lv1 beating an Lv4 is not a common occurrence, even when the Lv4 is holding back. "Although, im curious about that last spell of yours. You didn't teach us that one, is there a reason why?"
'Oh? Is that a tinge of jealousy im hearing?' not that he could blame the elf princess. If a Rasengan of an Lv1 can pack such a punch, then a Rasengan of an Lv6 would be a one-hit kill to any enemy that will have the displeasure of getting hit by it.
"It's not a spell to begin with, just insane control over Mind energy" his words made Riveria stare at him blankly. 'did I once again break the common sense on how magic should be done?' his non-spoken question was answered when Riveria grabbed both of his hands and cupped them with her own, causing all elf's who saw this gain a heart attack.
Riveria, the princess of elves, has willingly touched a human male...Bell just couldn't wait for the rumors that are about to spread.
"Please teach me how to do it!" Those words leaving her mouth were the last nail to the coffin. Riveria, the most powerful mage in Orario, was asking to be taught something from an Lv1 newbie.
All elves present blanked. Their brain seemed to experience a blue screen of death. Elves E.X.E. have stopped working.
I think you have a general idea of what I am talking about at this point.
The only unaffected elf was Lefiya who was too lost in thought to listen to Riveria and Bell. Her gaze was lingering in the direction of the giant hole in the wall, the one that Bell made when he blasted Anakitty away. Her hands clenched her staff tightly, a lone thin stream of blood went down her chin as she bit her lip too hard.
Frustrated and jealous, Lefiya left the training area.
Meanwhile, after Bell promised Riveria to show and explain how the Rasengan worked later, this making her let go of him, he was fully ready to go to his room and laze around all day. But a pop-up appeared in front of his face, one that made him change his plans.
<The King of Death wants to trade "bag of magic stones x10" for "Tier-3 spell ticket x5">
oh?
<The King of Death wants to trade "Lv2 monster crystal" for "Tier-5 spell ticket">
OH!
'DAMN BOY! Tier-5!?!?' Bell got excited! He already had a plan on how to get one of those. And it mainly involved the Lv4 Anakitty on his knees for her help.
An infant dragon is a Lv2 monster if he remembers correctly. It acts as a miniboss on the 10th to 12th floor, so there is a chance to hunt one down! And if he messes up he can count on the Lv4 catgirl to help him!
"Alright, you win!" The catgirl in question yelled once she jumped through the hole she made.
"What do you want as your reward~?" Aki asked with a teasing smirk, walking up to Bell. The clothes on her stomach were torn showing a large bruise on it. Unlike last time, however, there was still enough clothing to cover most of her body, the only indecent part being her partly exposed left boob.
"A date on the 10th to 12th dungeon floor will do."
"Infant dragon?"
"...How did you know?"
Aki shrugged her shoulders. "It's the only thing a strong Lv1 would seek on those floors." If she knew, why did she shrug her shoulders? "But it's usually done by a group of strong Lv1 adventures. Not a solo Lv1 adventurer." Understandable a lone Lv1 is not enough for an infant dragon. Unless you have the cheats and monstrous growth of the Original Bell that is...
"And that's why you will be there! If I mess up, you'll save me." Bell said with a grin and wrapped his arm over Aki shoulder. "Come on, please? It's my reward for beating you, you have to agree!" For now, it's just begging, but Bell was ready to bow down if he needs to.
Pride? what is that? can you eat it?
Who needs pride? It's worthless, it gets people killed.
Feed pride to the dogs. Bell doesn't want it, not if it means that it will be a hindrance to his gain of power.
Summon angels, make a party out of them and go to the 10-12th floor by himself? He has no idea how strong the monsters there are, and an infant dragon is a fucking Lv2 monster.
Why risk it when there is an option with no risk of death available?
Aki sighed, seemingly annoyed by Bell begging, but the smile on her face revealed her amusement. "Alright, fine." She said and shrugged Bell arm off her shoulder. "I'll help, when do you want to go?"
"now."
...
"like...right now?"
Her answer was answered once Bell started to drag her out of the training area.
