Book 4: Chapter 46: Aftermath and Requirements

Scarlet

After we get back to the base again, I find everyone extremely excited to see me and full of praise. Or at least, almost everyone. There are still a few people who I hear talking about me behind my back, but even they arent considering doing anything against me or anything like that. Just insulting me for being a demon.

And for the first time since becoming a Guardian, I actually answer the peoples questions as everyone asks them. Strictly so that I can stay on their good side instead of pissing them off or something.

Then I can go back to ignoring people tomorrow.

Tar snorts and comments, A single day of being polite. How gracious of you.

I know, right? Very gracious.

He snorts again.

After everyone finishes talking and lets me finally leave to go do my own thing nearly two hours later, I find myself in my room flopping onto my bed with a sigh and a groan mixed into one.

Lots of emotion in that one, Tar comments but without the sarcasm from before.

Yeah it was a lot to handle today.

Yeah, well their conflicting ties aside, Im still with the humans and theyre with the demons. Were at war. Theyll just have to suck it up and continue being killed by their own Princess.

Tar snorts, likely at the way I put that.

Now, I would also like to get more SP so I can focus on getting Gradual Corruption Nullification to as high a level as I can get it. Preferably at least level 30 by the time I reach Class V. So that itll have the highest possible chance of being upgraded.

About that Tar suddenly says, making me raise my head, bringing my chin to my collarbone to look at him. The prophecy has information directly related to upgrading your skill. And I think now would be a good enough time for you to hear them now that you arent preoccupied with anything urgent.

I stare at him for several seconds, seemingly making him nervous before I tell him, Well, go on.

First, you can treat upgrading the skill in the same way as you would any other Title-Bearing Mythic skill, because thats what the upgraded version will be, and itll tell you when you meet a certain number of the requirements for upgrading the skill that youve met them, Tar says, making my eyebrows rise briefly in surprise. For those requirements though, one of them will easily be fulfilled as long as you just keep using the skill on a regular enough basis. And by that, I mean you get someone to poison you and you heal yourself over and over again.

Tar, I slowly state out loud with a frown. That isnt something Id call easily fulfilled, much less something I would accomplish from using it on a regular basis.

I mean, you would be using it on a regular basis if you were being poisoned all the time, Tar comments, making me open my mouth to say something, only to close it again. Then he continues speaking after seeing my silence, Anyways, youll have to remove a curse placed on you by a Class V being, cure a poison given to you by a Class V being, and cure a disease given to you by a Class V being, each while still being at Class IV. And thats the main requirement for upgrading the skill.

I stare at him for several seconds before grabbing him by the scruff of his neck and throwing him across the room. Then I take off my shoes and climb under the covers to go to sleep.

Since Im just too mentally exhausted right now to hunt.
