Chapter 191 - Imperial Capital Melgadia

Splitting up from Roxy and Myne’s group, our group was currently heading to the Imperial Capital Melgadia.

[Fate-sama, are you sure about this?]

[Still no. I don’t want to hear any gunshot noise!]

[Nnn…]

The Eris I knew would try to conserve her energy as much as possible. But this readjusted Eris seemed to be different. She’s itching for battle.

[I simply do not wish to see you fall apart before reaching the imperial capital.]

[You know, I could actually use some support bullets, but that’ll cause gunshot noise too, so that’s a no.]

[Too much free time for me.]

[Isn’t that good then? Actually having free time while travelling on Gallia.]

Although I have poison resistance, it doesn’t mean I would obediently let myself get hit by that.

My status increased once more. The chimera might normally be a nasty monster, but with my current stats, it’s no different than a goblin to me.

Due to an excessive increase in my status in such a short time, I became incapable of controlling it properly anymore. Moreover, the sizable amount of power concerned me.

The Chimera itself gave me some useful skills. It would definitely be useful for future battles.

[Can’t they be a bit less flashy?]

[Just a little more until the imperial capital.]

[Yeah, a little more.]

[What are you doing?]

[Making it easier for us to pass.]

[Make way!]

[Fate-sama, look out!]

[I see it.]

Burning everything in its path, the black fireball also left behind a blackened trail on the ground.

At the same time, the inorganic voice suddenly said almost silently.

『Not enough…..more』

It was so low that I barely noticed it among the repeated announcements. The voice stopped before I knew it, replaced by Eris’ voice.

[Fate-sama? Are you alright?]

[No, it’s nothing.]

It’s the same case if they want to attack from the air. Remnants of black fire also floated in the air. They’ll linger there as long as I still have magic power to spare.

In other words, they couldn’t get in without my permission.

[These guys… are they not afraid to die?]

[Are you guys seeking death!?]

I held my trembling right hand with my left.

[I realize how important your presence is now.]

I whispered as I looked at the black staff in my hand.

[During times like this, you’d be there to encourage me.]

[The imperial capital is in sight. We’ll proceed to search for the other half of Gemini.]

[Understood.]

[More. Give me more power!]

Never have I indulged myself this deep into Gluttony skill for power.

[Fate-sama, your eyes!?]

Eris probably warned me about the glowing red in my eyes. The longer I stayed in the starvation state, the closer I became to the gluttony skill.

[Kuh…]

[Can you take care of them?]

His words though, were directed for someone else…

[This guy… he made me wait for too long]

Then again, offense is the best defense. Not the type that Myne tended to use, since her style was incompatible against long range attacks.

Gemini pushed through the black flame I shot rather easily.

[Fate-sama.]

Bloody Ptarmigan Cross.

The shockwave when I shot the arrow alone was enough to decimate nearby monsters. Without Eris’ support bullet, I may have hurt myself as well.
