I was a Nerfed Hero in Another World

Chapter 119: Journey to Find Arthur (Epilogue)

Lilith Umbra's

___________

"There's no end to them!" I shouted, while swinging Excalibur at the demons.

These gargoyles were families sent by my father to hunt me down. She wanted me to take part in the demon king's selection. But I escaped from that destiny and planned on creating my path.

The demons flocking around me were no match against my sword. However, battling thousands of them for a week would strain anyone. Fortunately, I had the blood of the demon king, which helped me sustain my energy.

When the last day of the week finally came, I ended the battle by expanding a skill. It was an ability that granted every wielder of this Excalibur. The words I needed to say emerged inside my brain, telling me to say them to activate the spell.

"[Night Slash]!"

Upon mumbling those words, my body immediately knew what to do. My sword also glowed with an obsidian aura that covered my blade. When I faced the myriad of numbers of flying monsters, I swung my sword and killed all of them using [Night Slash].

It did not take a minute before watching those gargoyles fall like flies and eventually crash on the ground.

Those fiendish creatures tried screaming for help as they came into contact with my ability, but failed. My spell was faster than their reaction time, as I vanished from everyone before me.

When the ability finally wore out, the scenery at my fore cleared out the way. I could even address the field filled with grass and devoid of demons. That skill killed all the demonic gargoyles on sight without giving them a chance to escape. If those familiars brought powerful shields, that may be one way to stop Excalibur's attack.

However, they didn't, which led the gargoyles to their inevitable doom.

"I am happy that's finally over," I remarked, and returned my sword to its scabbard.

As soon as the world fell silent, my mind reminded me of the sword's message. That name still resounded inside my head, reminding me to meet the man I never knew.

"Arthur. not the King Arthur of humans," I recalled, and caressed my throbbing forehead. "For now, I need to venture forth and find a human village."

But before I could continue onwards to my adventurer, a floating square emerged in front of me. This four-sided shape followed my line of sight even after swivelling my head in different directions.

There were also letters written on this box, which I hurriedly read.

[Congratulations, Player Lilith Umbra! You became a player worthy of a system!]

"System? Player? Am I inside a game?" I growled, while searching for the perpetrator of this madness. "Show yourself, stranger, who could manipulate me with these spells!"

I pulled my sword and looked around my vicinity. Within a few seconds of waiting, no one appeared to ambush me.

"Strange. If my enemies caught me slacking over these boxes, I would have been dead by now," I remarked, and placed back my sword to its container for the second time.

I did not know about the magic that could send me these boxes in front of me. Thankfully, these squares with words did not harm me in any way. It just remained still, like a fragment that followed me along without hindering me from looking at the scenes.

Since it did not have any dangerous threats, I relieved myself from doubting these boxes and focused on them. After reading everything in the first window, two symbols greeted my eyes.

[Press this button with your mind or your finger to flip the window on the next page] A box floated once again as if answering my boggling question.

Without hesitating, I lifted my fingers and pressed the white and pointed button. Upon clicking the symbol, the window changed with the words written inside.

[I am a system. I will be your guide to harness the power within you. Since you're now a player using a system, your skills, abilities, and personal status would increase by two folds. It would continuously increase as soon as you complete the task given to you.]

It was the same as before. The window-who called itself a system, wanted me to click the button. I pressed the symbol and read the next page.

[Here is your current status as a player]

[Passive Ability (Tough Demonic Skin): Tough Demonic Skin grants you a protective coating around your skin. This covering would block most physical attacks as well as magic attacks. Spells that could only penetrate your armour are high level than you or stronger in terms of damage.]

[Passive Ability (Healing Salve): Amplifies any healing done to the character by 3%. (This applies to demonic regeneration)]

[Passive Ability (levitation): Since the player is a high-noble demon, player Lilith Umbra does not need wings to hover around.]

[Passive Ability (Death Stare): Anyone who has a weak heart would become paralysed upon meeting the player's eyes. Paralysed players cannot move any muscles until the player would allow them. Death Stare will not apply to party members. The paralysing effect would last around one minute.]

[Passive Ability (Tough Obsidian Skin): Tough Obsidian skin grants you a protective coating around your skin. This darkened covering would block all magic attacks, except for dark magic. Dark magic that could penetrate your armour could deal critical hits.]

[Active spell (Night Slash): Allows the user to slice the targets using the Excalibur Sword. This spell uses dark magic, which could pierce through at anything besides dark magic itself]

[Active Spell (Dark Aura): The player would surround the place with a thick mist that lowers the enemy's status. It could also make the opponents hallucinate while fighting inside the darkened cloud. This cloud would last around a minute.]

[Active Spell (Death Words): Anyone who has a weak heart and hears the player's words would have the negative status called "Fear". Enemies who have the negative status of fear would disable all of their spells, excluding passive abilities. If the player's enemies could counter this Fear and its negative effects, it would negate the Fear status.]

[Active Spell (Shadow Walk): allows the user to move around shadows. It also gives the player bonus movement speed during nighttime.]

[Warning! You cannot level until you meet Arthur! Please meet Arthur so you could use the system to your advantage]

These were the things written inside the text. According to my system, these texts marked my abilities as a player. I asked my system about the descriptions and learned a few things about them.

Those passive abilities I had were spells I did not need to cast. It was some skills inherited by someone through their parents or from battles. Active abilities were the spells that anyone cast.

All the spells indicated by my system were abilities I already own. There were still countless spells I could use. But the system showed only the ones I usually activate in battle.

The system also wrote Statistical Power, which gauged the strength of players. I had 100,000 statistical power. I did not know if that was a splendid number to have or little.

The system also subtly mentioned that I was not the only one who had a system. If I needed to digest the system's words, the mysterious window would explain everything. It told me that the statistical powers measure the player's strength. It only meant that there were also players out there who also had these statistical powers.

There were also terminologies I could not decipher, even though I tried. My system told me that Arthur would be the one who would explain these items to me.

"I thought this system would be my guide? Some guide this system if it can't even explain the usefulness of these terms," I exclaimed, while heaving out a sigh.

Among the descriptions written by the system, the latter part made my eyes widen. It said that I needed to meet with Arthur before leveling up. However, I had no hints where I could find this guy named Arthur.

Just before I gave up, my system pointed out a map on top of me. Upon looking at the map, the terrains I had visited drew themselves on the screen. As I studied the two-dimensional map artwork, the system placed a mark on a site.

"Is that the place where Arthur's currently staying?" When I asked that question, the system deleted the blue dot.

"He's around this place. a few miles away from me. There are two villages near that area. I will go there now," I mumbled, and carried on with my adventurer.
