Chapter 4: The “Holy” Priestess.

 

"Gnuh…" 

 

Hello everyone, Silver here. What you just heard was the dying cries of a wolf-like monster. 

 

My maids and I were currently deep in the forest, hunting down monsters like the beasts they were. 

 

Power levelling was fun. 

 

The average level of the monsters were 50.

 

With Risa here though, they might as well be ants. I knew from the start that she was strong, but this is just crazy. 

 

She didn't even have to swing her sword, just a single flick of her finger was enough. 

 

… I'm so jealous. 

 

Also, there was something I recently found out. The oath of servitude was pretty serious. 

 

Almost all the XP she got from killing the monsters went to me. And I could distribute XP gain as I see fit. 

 

Currently, XP was shared with a 3:1 ratio, between me and Bel. 

 

I had intended for the XP gain to be distributed amongst everyone equally, but both my maids rejected the idea and insisted that most of it should go to me. 

 

And now here I am. 

 

The dragon's heart I had acquired from my father, was a party-wide buff. And it stacked additively as well. 

 

For example, Bel who had been getting 25% of the XP, was now getting an extra 100% on top of that. 

 

If a monster gave 400 XP, she got 100 plus the boost which equals to 200 in total. 

XP

 

And me? 

 

I was getting 600, 1.5 times more than what the monster offered. 

 

As such, my level was starting to get bloated as well. 

 

Although according to the aforementioned calculations I was getting 600, in actuality it was much more for both of us, I assume it has something to do with our blessing. 

 

Where I should have been getting 600, I acquired 1200, normally you would assume that the increase was probably another 100%.

 

But the XP acquired fluctuated, sometimes it was 900 sometimes it was 1400.

 

There was no way to accurately gauge the increase, but I assume it has something to do with the type of monster killed. 

Oh, on top of the XP increase. There was also the increase in attribute gain with a level up. 

 

The calculation was (base stats) x (level) x (2. 5) 

 

Although I say 2.5, I'm not certain of the exact value I get from the heart, as I'm sure blessings also play a part. 

 

My originally overwhelming stats were now even more overwhelming.

XP requirement for a level up was cumulative, sadly XP wasn't. 

 

For example, level 1 required 100 XP to level up, level 2 required 300 and so on. 

 

But XP would reset to 0 for every level up. 

 

Although, there was no such thing as overflow. If I got 400 XP, where I needed 100 to level up, the rest of the XP would carry over. 

 

At least that helps. 

 

But now I know that it's extremely hard to level up. I wonder how Risa got so strong…. 

 

Once again, I've been sort of avoiding this but…my stats now far surpass the level of outrageous. And reached the level of insanity. 

 

My MP, the hell. 

 

In a few levels, my MP will surpass Risa's, and she's level 370.

 

What am I supposed to do with all that MP anyway, by the time I'm level 370, I'll have…. More than 1 million MP. 

 

… And when I reach an even higher level…. 

 

The numbers might give me some sort of PTSD. 

 

I feel like I'm flipping off the border guards at OP land, and casually strolling in. 

 

And my stats will be WAY higher than Risa's as well. 

 

WHAT IS THIS OP-NESS. GODDESS-SAMA PLS NERF. 

 

Nah, I'm just kidding. If I'm to become the strongest, this has to be the norm for me. 

 

Life would have been so much easier if I had these kinds of stats during my MMORPG days… 

 

Rather, I would probably get banned instantly for being suspected of cheating.

 

“Master, would you like some tea?”

 

“Gladly, thank you Bel”

 

“Ehehe~ You’re welcome Master”

 

Bel smiled beatifically as she started making the tea, by taking out items from the bag that she had brought.

 

I didn’t even realize she had this bag with her all this time.

 

Truly a Maid who has reached the max level of service.

 

Bel has levelled up quite a bit as well.

 

Of course, its harder for her to level up, so her level went up by 1 or 2.

 

“Risa, that’s enough, come and join us for tea, and then we’ll go back after this”

 

Risa, who was looking at us after finishing off her latest kill, nodded at my words and made her way to us.

 

But instead of sitting on the picnic blanket Bel laid out for us, she stood in front of me while blushing and fidgeting.

 

...How cute.

 

“Master...Did...Sirisa do well?”

 

I think I heard the sound of an arrow hitting my heart.

 

As usual, her face was impassive. But the redness of her cheeks, the timid twirling of her fingers which were clutched in front of her chest, combined with the adorable words she said.

 

Is this girl trying to kill me with cuteness?

 

Forcibly suppressing the blood that threatened to come to my cheeks. I patted her head and nodded,

 

“Yeah, you did well, thanks Risa”

 

I’m not sure if I was seeing things, but for just a moment I think Risa smiled.

 

But before I could inquire further, Bel announced that the tea was done.

 

Risa quickly escaped my hand on her head and went to help Bel with whatever she needed.

 

Honestly, my maids are such cute girls.

 

As I was dwelling on the cuteness of my maids, one of my eye skills activated.

 

[Eyes of Future Sight]

 

For a quick moment, I saw myself getting crushed by a giant foot.

 

Not even having the slightest doubt in my omnipotent eye skills, I quickly rolled away.

 

Not a second later a giant foot came crashing into the space I once occupied.

 

Scary.

 

I jumped back until I was in front of Risa and Bel and hastily looked up.

 

A Titan.

 

That was all I could think of, calling it anything else would be a disgrace to the sheer size it had.

 

It easily stood over 25 metres and had glowing red eyes.

 

Its entire body was covered in darkness, and I could not discern its form.

 

Without delay, I activated [Appraisal]

Kronos [Avatar]

 

???

???

???

Level: 3000

 

...Oh

 

What happened after was more of a haze, but I do recall telling Bel and Risa the level, Risa insisted on fighting, but I ordered her not to do so, and now we’re running as fast as we can.

 

I seriously hope I run into my dad.

 

I get the feeling that he can one-shot this.

 

But I’m running in the opposite direction of the mansion, so chances are slim.

 

I activated [Clairvoyance]  in a hurry to determine the best choice to make.

 

But I only got vague feelings of running in the direction I already am.

 

What a useless skill.

 

But then again, [Clairvoyance]  was meant to be a skill similar to far-sight, so I didn’t know what to expect.

 

But I’m certain I saw a figure of a girl wearing what I assume are priest garments up ahead.

 

Wait, there is a girl up ahead!

 

“Hey~  get out of the way!”

 

The girl undoubtedly hearing my voice, turned my way.

 

When I saw her face, my mind cleared of all thoughts. Except one.

 

Adorable.

The girl looked at me, and then looked behind me, she was surprised for a bit, but then her expression turned serious.


She lifted her small hands and said something, but I only heard the last two words.

 

“—Lord’s Judgement”

 

Wings made of light appeared behind the priestess, and for some reason, I looked behind me.

 

I regret it. Because I’m blind now.

 

A brilliant flash of white covered my vision, I stared at it for a second, before my eyelids closed.

 

It hurts.

 

After a few seconds, which felt like hours. I opened my eyes.

 

What entered my sight would have left me speechless, had I not done something similar with a giant sword

 

...Oh shit, I admitted my crime. YOU WON’T CATCH ME ALIVE.

 

Jokes aside, all that was left after that attack was a massive crater, and not even a hair of the tian was left.

 

What power…

 

As expected of a priestess who serves the Lord…

 

Looking around, Bel had a similar reaction to mine, but Risa seemed...sad?

 

It’s hard to tell with her face.

 

“Are all of you okay?”

Before I knew it, the priestess girl was right behind us.

 

On a side note, although I say priestess garb, what she’s wearing are gothic lolita clothes...which surprisingly pass for priestess clothes in this world.

 

But I digress, My vision was still hazy, and I couldn’t see properly.

 

Instead, I’ll comfort myself with her face that I only saw for a second.

 

So adorable~

 

“Here, let me heal you”

 

There was another flash of light, but this one was more gentle and soothing.

 

I blinked my eyes, and my vision became normal again.

 

And so, I once again looked at the adorable girl.

The girl closed her eyes and smiled at me, I’m not sure if I was seeing things or not. But I felt like there were sparkles around her.

 

SO ADORABLE

 

Oh yeah, have to show my gratitude 

 

“Umu, you have my gratitude”

 

AHHHH, I got too engrossed in her cuteness, and I ended up being rude.

 

...I feel so bad now.

 

But contrary to my expectations, the priestess smiled.

 

“Fufufu, you’re welcome”

 

...What an Angel

 

And this marks the start of how I converted to the Lord's religion.

 

Although...I still don’t know which Lord she worships exactly…

 

But seeing how innocent, pure and cute she is.

 

She undoubtedly serves one worthy of my respect, definitely someone better than the Goddess.

 

As I was gazing at the priestess, I felt something impact my head.

 

[Faint] status has been acquired.

 

New title [one who always faints] has been acquired

 

As my vision started going dark, I saw the reason why I fainted, a small meteor.

 

...It was the Goddess, wasn’t it?

 

Were my last thoughts, before darkness consumed my consciousness.
