Chapter 57: 056 “Lv.18 Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After leaving the crime scene... Correction, after leaving the site of the incident, Shane originally thought he would be questioned by Tielle. After all, no matter how you looked at it, a novice adventurer could not possibly wield a “Magical Sword” with such power. No, rather, someone who could wield a “Magical Sword” with such power, as far as Tielle knew, probably couldn’t be found besides Shane. If you wanted to find someone who could compare to the “Magical Sword” Shane wielded, you’d probably have to look for that hero who left a legend of splitting the sea. ... But even that hero probably spent a considerable amount of time and effort raising their level to achieve such mastery over the “Magical Sword.” And Shane? It might not have even been a minute since he first learned the “Magical Sword” until he wielded it with such power. Plus, with Shane’s level being so low, achieving such an earth-shattering result without being questioned was impossible. Therefore, after leaving the wilderness, Shane had prepared to be questioned by Tielle. But who would have thought that Tielle didn’t pursue it at all and said only one thing, “Since you’ve already learned the ‘Magical Sword,’ do you want to learn the other skills too?” Tielle, like this, not only didn’t pursue questions about Shane but casually expressed it as if it were nothing. This left Shane unsure of Tielle’s thoughts. However, since this opportunity presented itself, Shane didn’t want to refuse. Thus, after the “Magical Sword,” Shane asked Tielle to teach him the skills of “Penetration,” “Acceleration,” and “Close Range Evasion.” In Shane’s view, these three skills were also incredibly useful. One could ignore a certain level of defense, another could increase one’s speed, and another could allow the user to evade enemy attacks successfully and approach the opponent using any conditions swiftly. For a melee person, these were undoubtedly divine skills. So, Shane was eager to learn these three skills. Tielle didn’t hold back and taught Shane the skills of “Penetration,” “Acceleration,” and “Close Range Evasion” without reservations, allowing Shane to learn them. As a result, during the process of learning these skills, there was another unexpected situation. However, this time, it wasn’t something earth-shattering. “Skill acquired—’Penetration’—Do you want to learn it?” “Skill acquired—’Armor of Destruction’—Do you want to learn it?” Acquiring many skills led Shane to unquestionably grow, thereby increasing his level. “But it might also be due to the influence of the ‘Magical Sword’ from before.” Tielle added, muttering, “In that situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if a large number of unlucky demons were caught up in it too.” This statement made Shane chuckle awkwardly while praying in his heart, hoping it didn’t affect humans. Otherwise, that would be a big mistake indeed. Thinking thus, Shane glanced at his current level—”Lv.18.” “...Gained eight levels in one go?” It increasingly seemed possible that it wasn’t just personal growth that led to the upgrade. In any case, one thing was certain. After today, Shane had grown much stronger. In fact, it proved that a cheater didn’t need to become a Ten Mile Slope Sword God. But the stimulus a cheater provides to those around them is equally terrifying. At least, upon witnessing Shane accomplish what he planned to learn at level one in less than a day, Tielle once again fell silent for a long, long time. Then... “You should go back first today.” Tielle threw this statement to Shane. “What about you?” Immersed in his emotions, Shane subconsciously asked. “It’s been a while since I fought demons higher than my level.” Leaving those words indifferently, Tielle turned and left. Shane wanted to follow, but was refused. Helpless, Shane could only turn his gaze toward where Lamijion was. “Next up is magic.” Who should I find to learn from (and possibly trouble)? Truly a dilemma.
