chapter 117
117 – Strength 2
“… “What?”
[Persuasion is something you only do when you have no power… ! There is no need for persuasion when you have the power!]
Although it is a straightforward theory.
That was only possible when there was nothing involved, so I tried to say it was impossible.
‘… Now that I think about it, it might not be so impossible.’
As Luna said, the moment she realized that there was no problem in pressing down with force, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
‘After all, I’m the only ally in the Welcome Library, right?’
Moreover, the reason for existence is for ‘me’.
I thought it would be better to just openly do whatever I want, rather than having to pay attention and not be able to do this or that.
‘Okay, there’s no need to worry about it.’
I decided to do so and spoke while stroking Luna’s head.
“Good job. “I’ll praise you.”
[I was praised by the owner… !]
Luna seemed so happy to be praised by me that she smiled and turned her tail up.
Soon, he was held in my arms and started cuddling.
As I was soothing Luna by patting her on the back, Espin smiled awkwardly and spoke.
“What… Regardless of whether it’s an efficient method or not, I don’t know if it’s something human beings can do… “If you want to do it, I won’t stop you.”
I nodded and spoke.
“That’s what I said, but I’m going to try my best to convince you.”
Of course, I swallowed the words that there was nothing I could do if it didn’t work out and smiled.

The day after making that conclusion.
I immediately went to the Welcome Library and called Amber.
“Ember.”
“… “
When I came to see Amber, she looked at me with a very uncomfortable expression.
Soon, he put down the book he was holding nearby and slowly opened his mouth.
“W-what’s going on?”
A voice full of embarrassment and caution.
I heard that voice and it told me why I came.
“Please hand over to me all the things you have prepared for the first round of heroes.”
“… !”
At those words, Amber looked at me with a shocked expression.
He immediately took a step back and shouted at me.
“Bo, you’ve revealed your true nature!”
“By nature and all, I am the first round hero.”
“Lies!”
If it is natural, it is a natural reaction.
From Ember’s perspective, there was no evidence that I was a hero.
In addition, the character Dern itself was ‘a pure villain from the beginning.’
‘From that guy’s point of view, my existence is no different from the Heavenly God Church… No, they would think he was worse than the Heavenly God Church.’
In addition, it was said that the reason the first round was ruined was because of Dern, so vigilance is bound to be high.
As Luna said, I think it is most ideal to handle it with ‘power’.
I spoke briefly to Luna, who was showing caution in front.
“So. Lie or not, what can you do?”
“… Yes?”
“Even if what I say is false, you must give me the things I have arranged for the Illusion Library to not be destroyed. Isn’t it?”
“… “
When I said it, it sounded like I was committing terrorism or threats.
… No, to be precise, I did, but whatever the case, the important thing now is that these words seemed to have worked for Amber.
‘From Ember’s perspective, rather than having the Welcome Library completely destroyed, it would be better to just hand it over and gather up what’s left to support the first round of heroes.’
Perhaps I had no choice but to choose this based on the concept of choosing the lesser evil.
I looked at Amber, who was actually nodding her head with tears in her eyes, and spoke with her smile.
“Don’t worry too much. “It was something I should have received from the beginning.”
“… “
[The owner looks like a villain!]
This unfortunate incident occurred because I used the used speaking style for too long, and now I can’t even remember what the original speaking style was.
I smiled awkwardly and thought about denying that I didn’t mean it that way.
I felt like the more I opened my mouth, the more misunderstandings would pile up, so I tried to keep my mouth shut.
“Then… I’ll guide you through it. Did you bring the hero’s body with you? ?
After nodding her head, Amber sighed and spoke.
“Then transfer the information and experiences contained in the warrior’s body… “I will do it for you.”
It seemed like he could pass those things on to someone else.
I couldn’t hide my laughter.
‘Maybe I can use this opportunity to become much stronger.’
Of course, we are on the strong side as of now, but it is an undeniable fact that we are still lacking in many ways.
I decided to use this opportunity to build up great power and spoke to Amber.
“Then let’s get started right away.”
Seeing Amber on the verge of crying, I nodded her head in satisfaction.
* * *
Transferring the accumulated information and experience did not take as long as expected.
No matter what Amber’s thoughts were, this was something she had been building up for ‘me’ from the beginning.
Because everything was set to my standards.
Perhaps that was why Amber shouted at me in a very embarrassed voice while she was transferring information and experience to me.
“Ji, were you really a hero?”
It seems that he realized that I was a true warrior after seeing that my strength was applied without any side effects.
I don’t feel the need to respond anymore so I just lie there silently.
Amber hurriedly spoke to me urgently.
“Then I’ll give you everything, even the things I’ve been secretly hiding.”
It was hidden.
I somehow think Amber gave it up too gently.
Luna spoke while yawning long in my arms.
[Master, I’m watching over that woman to make sure she doesn’t do anything strange!]
If only she hadn’t yawned, I’m patting Luna’s back as she shouts something reassuring.
Amber speaks to me while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“… First of all, the transfer was successful. “Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or feels foreign?”
Once I found out that I was a warrior, I checked various things and asked about my condition, whether I had transitioned with sincerity.
Since I didn’t have any problems, I nodded and said yes.
Amber spoke with a sigh of relief.
“I was a little anxious because it was my first time doing it, but I’m glad to hear that it’s okay.”
“… “
“If you have any problems, please tell me right away. “I’ll check.”
I laughed out loud at the sight of him showing the exact opposite of what he had shown at first.
No matter how much I knew I was a hero, it felt a bit strange to see him show such a different side.
Still, it wasn’t all that bad, so I nodded.
“Okay.”
In that case, the only thing left to do is to check the power you have gained.
I asked Amber a question to find out what it meant to stuff information and experience into her body.
“… “I’m fine up to that point.”
Amber also shook her head and answered that she did not know anything about this.
‘That means I have to check it myself… What on earth and how should I check?’
I thought about it, but nothing came out, so I thought about it for a while.
Suddenly, I felt a thought passing through my mind.
‘When I think about it, I am transferring the information and experiences of the people I have absorbed to myself… ‘ ‘
To put it the other way around, wouldn’t it be possible to learn something like the special abilities that the Heavenly God Church has?
When that thought crossed my mind, I took out the bishop from my mace just in case.
“Quaaay… “Wow.”
The bishop of the Celestial Church squirming, looking extremely exhausted, as if he had used up all his energy.
I looked at the bishop and slowly stretched out my hand to see if anything had changed.
‘I said it was information and experience… ‘
I keep thinking about it because I think it’s difficult to figure out exactly what it is.
I felt a fishy sensation rising up that I didn’t know whether to call it a foreign sensation or a magical energy.
‘No way…’ ‘Is that right?’
The moment I felt this, I put the bishop back into the mace.
I took out a few of the Celestial Church members I had caught and checked them, just in case.
I was able to realize that my guess was certain.
‘I am now able to distinguish between the members of the Heavenly God Church.’
Previously, they were distinguished by magi, robes, and snake-shaped tattoos.
Now, even without those things, I was able to recognize that ‘this guy is from the Heavenly God Church.’
‘It appears that what the Celestial Church members planted to identify their allies has trickled down to me.’
Although I don’t know exactly what it is, I was able to figure out that it was a very useful element.
‘The only thing I’m worried about is whether there will be any negative effects from this coming to me.’
Thanks to Amber’s additional explanation on this, I was able to ease my worries.
“As I said, it purifies and transfers information and experience. “There is no need to worry as we have excluded all the bad things.”
Of course, you cannot take this word for granted, so you may need to check further.
One thing is certain: now, if we use this, we will be able to catch the Heavenly God Church guys more easily.
‘Besides, there are countless other abilities that I haven’t discovered yet.’
I laughed, thinking it would be quite fun.
