Chapter 77: An original swordsmanship and first battle spirit


    The hungry demon’s concept.


    Alex imagined this concept to be one of the deepest secrets of the Avander World. That power allowed NPCs to be immortal-like yers. No one knew to what extent that concept stopped.


    “Perhaps, the hungry demons’ goal is to enjoy the whole system benefits and go beyond yers’ capabilities?” Alex thought loudly before clicking on the unique system message.


    Atst, the new information spread before his eyes.


    [You are too weak, and youck understanding of ***** toprehend the hungry demon’s powers. You can not form the battle spirit with that concept yet. However, your swordsmanship has evolved.]


    “Evolved?” Alex squinted his eyes, then read further.


    It turned out that Elias Deathwill couldn’t cut through the hungry demon’s concept. At least the swordsmanship that he had left behind in Alex’s hands. No one knew what that father-inw was doing now, so Alex didn’t exclude the possibility of his inw reaching the same feat.


    However, as Alex did it independently, he received his own skill.


    [Alexander Deathwill’s Swordsmanship(???)]


    That skill left Alex perplexed.


    After all, he had been using a sword only in the game. His understanding was quitecking as he only watched some videos about it.


    He was also instinctively shing through his enemies. He wouldn’t get surprised if a resident swordsman from Avander World told him that he sucked with swordsmanship.


    But maybe Alex indeed had a talent for that weapon?


    ‘Or the game somehow affects my body and mind without me realizing it?’ Alex didn’t want to think about it as it sounded pretty frightening.


    If there was a game that could change people, it would be a virtual reality game. In that world, people met different standards and realities. Just spending time with its residents would be enough to change yers.


    But if Alex’s words were true, then the game went beyond what was ‘normal’. That game imnted moves without Alex realizing it. He had been affected by the skill so much that he became like a real swordsman.


    What if a yer received demonic skill? Would his mind change to the point where he would shed his humanity in real life?


    Alex stood frozen, ‘I shouldn’t think about it… If the game ends up changing people, the whole world will riot, and the game will get closed. I should just keep an eye on my friends, just in case.’


    After throwing away those dangerous thoughts, Alex returned to checking the system information.


    His new skill, [Alexander Deathwill’s Swordsmanship(???), didn’t have any grade. At first, Alex was confused. But after thinking a little about it, Alex realized that his swordsmanship was highly influenced by Elias Deathwill’s.


    He still would use it and level up in the game world with a sword by his side. However, it didn’t mean that his new skill was useless.


    Instead, that skill had a growth type. It would grow by Alex soaking and learning new moves through Elias Deathwill’s swordsmanship and the outer world.


    [Alexander Deathwill’s Swordsmanship – A sword that can cut through ?????]


    Those questions marks were surely the hungry demon’s concept. After luckily cutting through it once, Alex received his own concept that would help him with his n.


    He smiled widely, “A sword that can cut through everything! That sounds cool. Oh, I canbine two swordsmanships?”


    Alex narrowed his eyes, “For a few minutes… That’s the current limit.”


    That power woulde in handy against the hungry demons! Alex nodded, satisfied, then closed the system windows about the hungry demons and his swordsmanship.


    He then logged out as it was time to sleep.

    “Alex! y with us today!” Celia immediately found Alex after he logged in as if she had some Alex-tracker in her little head.


    Ubo was behind her, barely catching up to the lively duhan. Thus, he surely wasn’t the one leading her!


    Alexughed out loud, “Let’s hold a tea party! And, you should invite everyone.”


    “Hehe! Okay! But will Stee?” Celia asked with big eyes.


    Alex scratched his hair, “She hadn’t taken a bath yet, right?”


    Celia nodded.


    After sighing, Alex ruffled Celia’s hair and told her gently, “Take it slowly. I will take care of Ste, then we wille to your tea party together. Everyone shoulde as it is time to split rewards from our battle against the hungry demon.”


    “Oh!” Celia and Ubo’s eyes twinkled after recording the word ‘rewards’, “I will prepare snacks too!”


    “Alright,” Alexughed gently, then let Celia’s hair go.


    She promptly turned around and ran toward her room. Her new friend fetched enough energy out of nowhere to follow the little duhan!


    Alex went to Ste’s room, and he once again bathed together with her. Unfortunately for the wingeddy, Alex told her about the tea party, so they couldn’t spend enough time in a hot bath.


    Atst, everyone gathered in Sara’s room.


    Celia was having fun preparing a lot of stuff, so the adults exchanged a few words and nces.


    Sara, in particr, looked at Alex as if she had something to talk about. On the other hand, Schnee just nced and then closed her eyes. She was in her little cat form, not caring about everything around her.


    Alex and everyone took a seat. Naturally, Alexmented about Celia’s tea, making her giggle and blush out of happiness.


    And then, Alex smiled widely, “I will make a Werewolf Spirit now!”


    To those words, surprisingly, Schnee and Ste reacted the same. Both didn’t even care about the battle spirit.


    Sara smiled sweetly while Celia and Ubo nearly jumped from their seats.


    “Let me use the skill. We will get an epic werewolf because we fought one of the royal werewolves!” Alex hyped the crowd.


    “Epic Werewolf!” Celia clenched her tiny fists. Her eyes were starry.


    Woof! Ubo was the same!


    [The Battle Spirit(S) has analyzed your battle experience with Werewolves.]


    [You have lost all your mana.]


    [A royal werewolf has been created.]


    Before Alex, a faint orb appeared. That orb soon burst out, revealing a ck wolf whose appearance didn’t seem different from ck wolves in the forest.
