Chapter 23: Informative Idle Talk with Chaliope


    I searched for some good spot to build my base with Chali as we walked leisurely. after thinking it''s too inefficient, I used my Sky monarch skill to fly and lift up Chali to my embrace


    [E-ehhh~ W-we are flying in the sky!! Master, how many skills did you have? you sure are capable man~]


    Looking at Chali''s lively smile, I started to rx my nerves and enjoyed the scenery while checking for the good spots to build my base from the blue sky.


    I could feel the cold wind hit my body coldly but I didn''t feel cold at all as I felt the warmness radiated by Chali''s body heat in my embrace repealed the cold a lot.


    I saw Chali enjoying this moment while closing her eyesfortably. Looking at her peaceful face somehow made me happy and realized that I am not alone anymore in this strange new world.


    Even though I could feel that Chali trying to bury her sad memory by enjoying every moment like this with me somehow, but for now, what I could do to her is to embrace her tightly and be her pir that she could lean-to.


    Seeing the dark ck cor on her neck, somehow, I recalled the mysterious madam Catherine that owned the ves store in Arkhaim town. I wonder why a Last-Boss ss character like her doing in this border town? and this is the first time I saw a demon race in this Arkhaim town, or maybe I just couldn''t realize them because of their human appearance?


    Sigh...


    Anyway, let''s created something like a barrier surrounding us to protect our body from this disturbing wind. After recalling the Illusive Barrier spell inside my Space&Time magic, I hurriedly activated and control it to surround our body that sill flying in the sky. haa.. it''s better now


    Somehow after surrounded our body with this spell, I feel like the same feeling when I used the stealth skill that I had before, did this barrier could be used as stealth too? hmmm... let''s think about this thing forter...


    Anyway, with the annoying wind gone, I could talk with Chalifortably without being disrupted by the wind noise now


    [Chali, is there a demon race tribe or kingdom dwelled in this continent?]


    [Demon race kingdom? I don''t think there is any in this continent-wait, I''m not sure if the vampire is categorized as a demon race in master perception though?]


    [No, what I mean is literally the "Demon" race that leads by the Demon king]


    [Then there is none in this continent, if I remembered my memory correctly, there is demon race kingdom in the Northern continent, Anyway, why did master suddenly asked about the demon race?~ did master met them before?~]


    [Ahh, nothing, I just curious because the demon race is quite famous in my former world literature after all, hohoho~ they always depicted as strong and evil race in my world, is that the same here?]


    [Hmm, I wonder... I couldn''t generalize that all the Demon race is evil because they are the same intelligent race as us after all~. but, more than 1000 years ago there was a demon king named Satan, he has agreat ambition to conquer this world. it''s written in our tribe''s record that he was one of the 7 deadly sins skill wielders that started the era of chaos.


    .


    I don''t know about the details, but at that time the demon race split into 2 factions, one is the Satan faction and the second one is Lilith faction, if I remember correctly, Lilith is the one who assists the summoned hero to defeat Satan. that''s what was written in the record.


    .


    But the thing about the demon race being a strong race is the same as this world''s literature and history. They were known for their talents at magic and illusion~


    .


    I don''t know about the details, it seems after the death of Satan they build a new kingdom in the Northern Continent, it''s rumored that they have some skirmishes with some human kingdom in there from time to time now~]


    [Seven deadly sins? what a cliche setting! I bet there is somezy Evil God that tried to destroy the world by lent his strength to the most sinful and evil people, and that power is the seven deadly sins! am I right? really, it''s a very clich! as expected of the Isekai world!]


    [H-how did Master know it? and what is clice?? it seems like it''s the word from the Master''s world, but the thing about the evil god that creates the 7 deadly sins skills series is the truth. For some reason that Evil God is not originally a being from this world, and we called him Evil God because the goddess called him that~ anyway, the era of chaos ended after one of the goddesses sacrificed herself to kill the evil god, that is themon knowledge that known by the people in this world~]


    [huh? Could the goddess truly die? were they not different from a mortal then? anyway, I get the gist of the demon race and its history already. I am kinda interested in the geography of this continent now. Chali, do you know where we can buy a map of this continent? I totally forgot to bu- wait!!! Chali! I forgot to buy you an essory too!]


    [It-its okay master~ I don''t need it, it would be better we find useful essories in the dungeon, the dungeon rarely dropped essories that can strengthen status, so you couldn''t buy it anywhere except betting it in some auction that the nobles usually held. so I suggest it for Master to get essories from the dungeon rather than buying useless luxury ornament in Arkhaim town~


    And about the goddess, I don''t know if they are the same as mortal or not but we called them the immortal race for a reason. and the only goddess that ever die in history, is that the one who sacrifices herself to kill the Evil god as for the others, they are still living in the Goddess Realm until now.


    .


    And about the map, hmmm only noble have that thing and it''s categorized as a special strategic item for nobles, so we couldn''t get it from the store anywhere. we could buy it from some veteran adventurer somehow, but I think I could draw a better map than them for master~ just give me some quill pen and paper and I will get it done for master~ huhuhu~]


    [is that so? hmmm.. we can find the essoryter then. and about the map, I will give you the paperter okay?... ah! some to think of it! I want to confirm something to Chali, somehow I could see some rating like thing beside the skill name when I opened my status. I somewhat could understand a little of it, but as expected, it''ll better I ask you about the skill rating to confirm my spection, so could you exin the skill rating for me?]


    [it''s no problem~ master is an Otherwolder after all. I will exin it from low to high okay~ there''re [Common]->[Umon]->[Rare]->[Unique]->[Legendary], and we could level up and upgrade mastery skill or element magic skill for magician (ex: sword mastery, etc/ Fire magic, etc ) from mon] to [unique] rating by training orprehension.


    .


    That''s why it''s originally very hard to be a powerhouse in this world because ordinary people could only train their mastery skill to [unique] rating step by step as a requirement for an advanced job like Swordsaints, magus, Bowsaint, etc. it''s very rare for people born with unique skill if they are not blessed by the goddess. That''s why I really envy master to have [Unique] skill from the get go~]


    Chali pouted charmingly while ncing at me and squinted her eyes yfully at the same time as she continued her exnation


    [And after became a saint for advancing to Grandmaster/Grandmagus, we need to get legendary skill rating as requirements. I don''t know how to get it though since all powerhouses always keep the method for themself and only just share it with their family member~ master?]


    After hearing her exnation, I lost myself in my own thought.


    T-this.. how about the mythical rating that Online Shopping had!!! This! somehow, I really want to ask her, but I could guess she didn''t know the answer, let''s probing it to see if she really didn''t know about this rating!


    [Ah? yes.. yess it''s the same as my guess, I confirmed it now, thanks alot~ but.... is the legendary rating the highest? is there a rating beyond legendary rating? like mythical or something, maybe? he hehe]


    [hmm? mythical? I never heard about it... oh! maybe master talked about the item rating?... hmm... is not possible...]


    For some reason, Chali nces at me inquiringly and has a suspicious expression, as expected! this woman is sharp! somehow I could feel it, she always acting cutely and lovingly around me but as expected of a mature woman. I could understand she act like that to make mefortable and as a ve, maybe it''s her way to keep alive and survive in this survival of the fittest world.


    But the skill rating is amon knowledge that people in this world should know, and she said she never heard about mythical rating before, this! maybe this Online Shopping skill is outrageous than I thought! that''s why it''s never leveled up even though I always used it to buy a lot of stuff...


    [Master I think that ce is a good spot to build our base! there is a waterfall not far from it too, certainly master will be able to build afortable base with beautiful scenery in there!]


    Chali suddenly shouted excitedly and pointed in the direction with beautiful scenery in it with her finger, hmm it''s not bad, nevertheless, I think we already go deep enough to build the hidden base and also, there is no trace of people activities in this area too.


    Anyway, let''s forget about the rating thing for the time being!


    It''s time to clean this area from any monster and set an Illusive barrier permanently in this ce!


    It''s time to build my Shangri La here!
