Chapter 99

CHAPTER 99 – A RIDICULOUS SKILL

Returning from the lottery place, I picked up Io using the Warp Feather, and came to the Orycuto’s valley .

The lord of the valley, the immortal monster Orycuto ran away the moment it saw me .

If it were a comical manga, it would be probably having springs of sweat .

「Oh〜, it’s running it’s running」

『Of course it would run, thinking of the things that you did to it up until now』

「Should I stop it?」

Io readied her magic staff, and asked while looking at Orycuto .

「It’s fine, I didn’t come for him today」

「Then why are we here?」

「Just wait a bit」

I casted the spell, and shot lightning magic on the wall .

It’s a magic that I learned from Io, and the Orydite wall broke into pieces with the explosion .

「Uu……Kakeru-san’s so unfair」

「Unfair?」

「That’s right, being able to use such a strong magic」

「Although it’s strong, it’s only 80% of Io’s right, in the first place, it’s a magic a learned from you」

There are two ways to learn magic in this world .

The first way is to learn it by training properly .

The other way is to receive magic attacks .

If one has the aptitude for the magic they received, and if they survive after that, they would be able to use it .

Coming to this world with all abilities multiplied 777 times, my life force and magical aptitude are also multiplied by 777 times .

I also had to defend, and survived after getting hit by Io . After that, I was able to use it .

「You’re not a magician though」

「Hmm . I don’t consider myself as a swordsman as well . I mean, what in the world am I」

I could use magic, but I main in melee battles and swords .

「Hero or Savior?」

『Both of them aren’t good ones huh』

Eleanor said while laughing out loud .

Those words were probably because she knows most of the heroes .

Well, that doesn’t matter .

「Well then, let’s start the test」

「Ah, yes . What do I need to do?」

「You only need to stand there」

「Eh?」

I smiled at Io who was confused, and activated the ability .

『Copy Plus』that I got from the fixed lottery .

「Copy Io’s lightning magic powers」

【Lightning Magic Powers will be copied from Io Akos】

I designated the ability as Io’s lightning magic powers .

The next instant, I felt my magic powers heightening .

「Move back」

「Yes」

Although tilting her head, Io moved back as she was told .

After seeing that, I chanted the lightning magic once again .

The magic powers that I gathered exploded .

The magic was blasted nearly double the range compared to earlier .

「Ama〜zing〜! Were you holding back earlier, Kakeru-san」

「No, it’s not that」

I denied it, and looked straight to Io .

「It’s my new ability . I could copy the ability of the person in front of me, and add it to myself . Right now, I copied your lightning magic powers」

「It was like that! Ah! That’s why it’s about double」

「That’s right」

After thinking for a moment, I said to Io .

「Io, you use your magic too . I’ll use it together . I want to check if it’s really copying」

The one I got before was lending my ability, and while I’m lending the multiplier, I myself could not use the ability .

But this time, it’s a “copy” not “lending” .

That’s why I thought that Io could also use her ability while I copy it .

「I got it」

Io nodded, readied her magic staff, and heightened her magic powers .

I did the same think .

I made eye contact with her, and after we nodded to each other, we shot out magic .

The lightning magic explodes, and the shards of Orycudite had scattered all over the place .

「Did Io shot at full strength?」

「Un! Just as usual」

「I see . It’s really “copied” huh」

「Uwa……Kakeru-san’s amazing . That just means, it became twice as strong」

「Well, yeah」

It looks like it’s an ability that’s more than I expected .

It’s probably the higher class of the lending ability . The problem is that there’s only one of it, but even so, its performance is good enough .

『It’s an ability that is useless for you who is already strong from the start . Ones that has higher ability value than you, there are not a lot of those . Even if you copy and add the abilities of the humans weaker than you, it would be pointless . Also』

「Also?」

『Isn’t that an ability that would show its best performance with an enemy stronger than you . Such an opponent……do they exist?』

「……well, it’s not a minus ability so it’s fine as well」

『That is true』

I felt Eleanor’s presence shrugging her shoulders in my head .

It’s true that it’s powerful, but it doesn’t make me explosively stronger .

I thought that it was a good ability at first, but hearing Eleanor’s points, I felt that I got excited for nothing .

「Well then, let’s go home . Thanks for keeping me company」

I said thanks to Io and took out the Warp Feather .

Well then, Fiona and the other girl’s talk should be over by now .

『Ne〜, ne〜, Otou-san』

The instant before I warped, Hikari who was keeping herself quiet opened her mouth .

「What is it」

『Why are you not copying the strong Io-oneechan?』

「Strong Io?」

“What does she mean”, I tilted my head .

『Un . It’s Io-oneechan who became stronger with Otou-san’s power?』

『……after lending her your ability huh』

Eleanor said, and I realized as well .

「Io, stand there for a moment」

「Un!」

「Lend Io lightning magic powers」

【Magic Powers of Lightning will be lent to Io Akos . Time Remaining: 4 minutes 59 seconds】

「Copy Io’s lightning magic powers」

【Lightning Magic Powers will be copied from Io Akos】

「Io, shoot with all of your powers」

「Un!」

Io heightens her magic powers, I also chanted the same spell .

The two of us heightened our magic power .

「Hundred Lightning!!」

「Haaa!!」

The magic exploded, the lightning magic multiplied 777 times with the two of us at the same time .

Countless lightning fell down on the stone mountain .

Explosion, ground shaking, and shockwave .

After all of that endedーー .

「The mountain’s……gone」

Io surprised .

There’s a hole that seemed to be opened by the magic hitting it . The stone mountain that was there just earlier disappeared completely .

And there, Orycuto regenerated .

It’s good that he ran away, but it looks like he got caught by the x2 wide range magic .

It rather seemed sorrowful because it regenerated due to its immortality .

『Waa〜, Otou-san’s so amazing〜 . Io-oneechan, amazing〜』

Hikari innocently cheered .

『Hmm, I’ll take back my words』

Eleanor said with a serious face .

『It’s a ridiculous ability』

「Yeah」

『And, you’re also finally entering a ridiculous level』

「Yeah」

A synergy born from the skills gained from the lottery, and it created a ridiculous effect .
