"I think this much is suitable"

*This way at least my Basic Status has become stronger and more suitable in battle, but I don't feel any significant changes in my muscle mass or body size...even though I increased my Physical Attack Status, does it mean that the Status is not working visually?, well never mind, it's time for me to try that skill*

The skill that Dante bought with the rest of his cash while still in the previous game, he bought a skill called, 'Soul Extract'. In the description in the Item Shop, it is a skill that can extract the soul of someone he targets, but the disadvantages are not written there so Dante did a lot of experiments on the previous Krugol and the Black Wolves earlier ...

"Hmm, I see..."

*I actually drew and extracted the enemy's soul, but I also received the skills that the enemy had... Why is this happening? Is that Skill tied to the soul of a living being? I guess I have to find out more about this,

*then*

[Innate Skill: Air Infiltration]

Fwurrhh~

The wind moved gently around Dante, as if covering him with invisible and weightless clothes...

*I think this is how some of the previous wolves were able to escape my fatal attacks before... Defense skill that deflects the direction of the opponent's attack just before it touches the skill owner, interesting too, suitable for me who is a close-range fighter*

"The other skill... I think Krugol's skill is difficult to activate huh?"

* Skill Activation Requirements: Eating raw iron ore that has not been processed

*Convenient, I don't think this needs to be included in the main skill line*

After that Dante returned to walking leisurely towards the maze towards the castle, until in the afternoon he arrived in front of the castle door ... Seeing some ogres and Agito there ...

"You guys, come faster huh?"

"There's no way we're going to let you wait, my lord" Agito said.

"Then go straight in."

Dante opened the Castle Door, leading to the Main Hall, the Long Corridor in front of the Ruler's Seat... he sat on the Seat, looking at Agito and the Ogres with a Smile on his Face...

*Check, Hugo are you busy*

*Certainly not sir* Hugo

*Can you come to the Main Hall, I need you*

*Well, I'll be right there* Hugo

"Wait here for a moment"

"Yes sir"

Not even 5 seconds after Agito said yes to Dante's words, Hugo came to open the door of the main hall and immediately walked to the same floor line as Agito and bent his left knee and greeted...

"I am Hugo, ready to help you with your problem."

"Alright Hugo, get on with it. Agito and the Ogres behind him want to be our combat troops, do you think they are worthy?"

"Hohoho, I'm sure Your Highness who has immeasurable knowledge can already figure that out, but I will determine them myself"

Hugo brought Agito and the other 7 Ogres to the Open Practice Field in the Phase 3 Maze...

"Alright, right off the bat, all of you if you can make me use both of my hands, you will be my apprentices and immediately become a Special Squadron under His Majesty's command."

"Yes, Mr. Hugo" Agito

"Then... Let's start the game."

[Extra skill: Great Will]

This invisible and formless Aura instantly made the ogres break out in cold sweat unable to raise their swords and spears... Ogres, other than Agito...

"Don't be afraid, I'm still here! We'll become stronger to protect what's left!"

Agito shouted loudly amidst the onslaught of pressure exuded by Hugo, making Hugo put a slight grin on his face...

"Okay!"

Making the 7 Ogres who had previously dropped their weapons return with their burning determination to fight...

"Formation!" Agito

The 7 Ogres immediately formed a straight line and charged towards Hugo in turn...

"Fool!"

Hugo only with his left hand, restrained, deflected and beat them one by one until they retreated...

*They only have this much fighting sense? Disappointing, if only this Insectar People are also better than this* Hugo

*Hm?* Hugo

"Fuuuhh"

The Ogres quickly surrounded Hugo who was unconscious because he was lost in thought... they took a breath and...

"Improvement!" Agito

[Innate Skill: Brute Strengthening]

The Ogres' bodies were surrounded by a bright red aura that turned out to be a sign of spiritual ki that had spread throughout their bodies and strengthened every inch of their bodies...

"Hehe, I hope this makes a difference" Agito

[Extra Skill: Commandment]

"Attack!"

Extra Skill: Commandment, making the group leader's words of exclamation, will physically strengthen the group members in the skill owner's leadership...

After some time...

Tring!

"Hmm, is that the last one?"

Hugo had managed to take them all down, but ...

*How unexpected*

*I lost, didn't I? *

[Some Time Earlier]

"Hah- Hah!"

"Take a breath and raise your weapons! We're not done yet!" Agito

"Okay!"

Agito encouraged everyone who was already exhausted, even though they hadn't made any progress after a few dozen minutes of exchanging attacks with the siege... but...

Agito grinned.

*That kid? Why is he-* Hugo

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the Greatsword came crashing down on Hugo's head from behind...

"Hehe"

"Good job Rerra! Heup!"

A black-haired Ogre girl hit Hugo just as Hugo was too located to Agito and the others... Agito continued to attack using his large machete...

[Burning Slash]!

Fwuarrhh!

The flames that came out from between Agito's fingers, enveloped the machete he was holding and immediately struck in the same direction as his slash...

Boom!!!

Creating a huge explosion, destroying several meters of ground around the area where Hugo was standing... However...

"Hoho, you guys..."

"Khik!"

*He's still unharmed?!* The Ogres

*As expected from His Majesty's Servant, Great*

Agito and Rerra could only sweat and worry about how they would fight Hugo in the future.

"You guys really are?"

*They're interesting! That Ogre girl, she's taking advantage of my inattention and making good use of the element of surprise, she didn't even make a single sound!* Hugo

*And just now, it was some kind of magic, wasn't it? A large amount of fire appeared from behind the sword and rushed towards me quickly!* Hugo

*I never knew that the Ogre Race had Extra or Innate skills related to Elementals before, so I believe that this is due to the Evolution that Your Majesty gave this Ogre Youth. Hehehe, His Majesty is indeed the God of Blessings!*

"Kekeke, you guys are great!"

Tsssshhh!

Hugo's entire surroundings were burned to blackness, while Hugo was completely untouched...

"Too bad, I have a high immunity to this level of magic (Innate Skill: Anti Magical Skin), so you pass!"

"Aah~ Finally", "I thought we were going to continue", "We could die Ah, haha" The Ogres

"Who said stop?" Hugo

"Eh?"

"Come here" Hugo

"Eh?"

"I'm not satisfied with just this, try to keep going kids!!!" Hugo

"Akhhhh!!! Wait!!! No!!!" Ogre

Until they all fell down, Hugo beat them up with the martial arts he developed, according to the background designed by the designer, 『 True Despair Martial Art』which every fist used to strike directly penetrates the steel armor that reduces physical damage.

Kringringring

"Hoho, Hm?"

*How are they? Hugo, are they worth it?

*They are worthy my lord, I can guarantee them* Hugo

[Honey Forest - Maze Phase 2]

Dante is taking a leisurely stroll towards the Honey Forest area in Phase 2 of the Maze...

*I see, so you think they have Potential to Different Job Types?

*Yes my lord* Hugo

*Then please guide them, Hugo*

*It's My Honor* Hugo

"So, this is the area I designed for a picnic with guild members first."

He saw a lot of trees and dozens of insects pacing around carrying an urn that looked the same...

"Welcome, Your Highness, to our modest area"

"Ah, you guys."

*That's right, at that time I handed over the management of the honey and fruits here to my self-designed NPCs, Zash and Fran*

"How are you guys? Zash, Fran"

"Thanks to you, our race is no longer just lowly insects, we are always in debt and grateful to you"

*Zash, an ant-type insect, but standing on two legs that make him 2.2 meters tall, and has a black and gold-patterned exterior, he is an NPC that I leveled up to the Divine Insect level, although not as strong as Reinhard, he is still a strong fighter in Guild SP*

"You're still wearing that red scarf, aren't you?"

"That's right sir, after all this shawl was given to me by your colleagues, the rulers, I can't possibly give it up" Zash

"I will always be in your debt, Oh Sole Ruler"

*Fran, looks like a bee in general, the difference is that she is the size of an adult human, and wears a white robe and really has a charming and beautiful aura, just try to look a little more human, maybe I can suddenly have a crush on her. Fran is also at the Divine Insect level by the way, it's just that she's not the fighting type like Zash*.

"Well, I always expect your hard work, so take care of your health! I'll come back next time, you guys too! Insectar-Insectar!"

"Yes Your Majesty!" The Insectars

Dante left immediately after greeting them a little, waving his hand as he left with his back to them...

"Our ruler, very kind and friendly~" The Insectars

Dante left Phase 2 and returned to his room, thinking...

*I hope there are no surprises tomorrow*

He fell asleep...
