19 Unique Perk

We finally managed to sign a peace treaty, the high elves and dark elves have made peace and ended their dispute, once and for all. Nol allowed dark elves to withdrew from the village, but the next day they returned with all of their belongings and started living with us in this village.

And as for me, well I started living my harem life here to impregnate every single elf and learn magic from both Nol and Misery.

Misery is a master in mind arts, darkness magic, and enchanting, and they are quite beneficial my friend. The mind arts will provide me the key to manipulate humans & other supernatural beings, It will let me change their memories or erase memories and many other nasty things, darkness magic is all about manipulation of element darkness and both Nol and Misery are quite adept in this branch of magic, and lastly enchanting is all about the caster to adding their own Magic onto living or inanimate objects, thereby increasing their natural attributes; for example, if I carved, αλκη[strength] on a block of wood it would make it stronger than steel, or If I just say these two words "Ancestral Ward" while channeling my mana through my voice, I can cast a 50% Reflect buff or enchantment on my own armor or on myself, I can reflect both magical and physical damage For thirty seconds.

Life is great man, what do I need more? But I kinda missing Yuriya, it's been a whole week. I wonder what she is doing and also, I have no fucking idea what "PI" is been up to, so I guess I will go back for a short amount of time.

But before I leave for home, I want to try something crazy. When I first arrived here on Alfhelm, I sensed a huge amount of dark or negative energy packed inside that Holy tree.

According to Lucifer the dark or the Negative force is born from fear, anger, violence, hatred, doubt, despair, and death. Places like the cemetery, battlefield, prisons, schools, and lastly the granddaddy of all, The Underworld, contain a shit ton of negative force.

But why the hell does that tree has so much negative energy? I have no fucking idea, I guess I will just ask the one who is adept in this kind of thing. "Hey, Lucifer… You ok there, buddy?" I heard a soft yawn accompanied by the sound of bone popping.

[Yo, how you doin'?] More than okay, I kinda need some advice. [Go on, Shifu Lucy has the solution to every problem, student Issei.] He said confidently.

"I am wondering, what if I absorb a shit-ton of negative energy in one go… Will I suffer any backlash?" I asked.

[Hmm, yes you will… The negative energy will affect your mentality, you may go crazy, or batshit insane. Your desire for destruction or chaos will become insatiable, you will become a cold and merciless son of a bitch, just like the original one, so yeah, I would advise you not to mess with such force foolishly, student Issei] will you stop with that student shit!

"What about gamer mind? This skill gives me Immunity to all mental disorders. So, I guess I will be fine?" I wasn't one hundred percent sure but I have been absorbing the negative energy for the past eight days and I don't have any urges to go on a rampage or murdering someone in cold blood.

[Then I guess you can give it a try] Lucifer said with a bit of hesitation laced in his voice. So, once I'm dressed and have eaten breakfast with Nol & others while discussing my plans to restore the power of that huge ass tree.

I finally head outside with Nol and Misery, they will be there to observe and also keep an eye on me. If they sense any danger to my life, they will immediately rush in to help me.

Once we arrived under that huge ass holy tree, and oh boy this thing is completely engulfed in negative energy.

I can already tell that today's harvest is going to be fucking extraordinary but for some reason, Lucifer suddenly stopped me from approaching it.

[Something is wrong here] What do you mean? [Can't you feel it? This energy is quite different from the usual negative energy, I smell the presence of filthy sinners…. A shit ton of them] He pauses for a fraction of a second before continuing.

[Issei] His tone became serious and grim. [I sense souls… be careful, try to sense the source of it] He advised.

"Nol, Misery don't come any closer." I warned them. "…Issei-Sama?" I raised my hand and gesture to them to stop.

"When did it started to lose its magic?" I asked both Nol and Misery. "After Lefaye-Sama died." Nol answered. "Lefaye? Died… Aren't you guys immortal?" I asked in confusion.

"Lefaye-Sama was our previous Leader and my aunt… She was one compassionate and strong woman" Nol smiled ruefully. "My aunt died by unknown causes, and to till this day, I couldn't able to unravel the truth behind her sudden death" she muttered with downcast eyes.

[My gut is telling me that her death is linked with this strange anomaly, so be careful and don't get fucked up by another mother fucking soul.] He warned and I heard his words loud & clear.

I closed my eyes, and tried to pinpoint the source of this shitshow and pretty soon I found it and I have no wish to go near it. So, the right choice of action would be to let someone else do it in my stead.

Both Nol and Misery gave me a startled look when I summoned two shy guys. "Darling, what is that?" Misery asked with curiosity in her eyes.

"My summons." I answered. "They are kind of ugly…" Come on don't say that, you will hurt their feelings.

The two SCP's on hearing her words squat down and started to draw circles on the ground. "You hurt their feelings, Nol. They are sensitive…" Lucifer butts in. [Yeah sensitive, my arse!] Bro just because they murder people in cold blood, doesn't mean they feel anything. [Yeah, right.] Lucifer snickered sarcastically.

Nol laughed awkwardly and apologized for her insult, they just nodded their head in acceptance and waited for my orders.

"You see that spot there…" I pointed at the forefront of the root of the massive ass trunk. "Just dig there and if you found anything fishy bring it to me, okay?" They nodded.

"Onwards, soldiers." They quickly made it to the spot and started tearing the ground like a madman.

"They are quite violent…" Nol chuckled in amusement. "Indeed." Misery agrees as she laughs softly.

No further words were spoken, we completely pose our whole attention on the shy guys as they tear the soil. After a minute of digging the two SCPs stopped suddenly, one of them reach down & draw out a 40-inch thin wooden casket and the other one took out a metal chest wrapped in chains.

We three shared a look, Nol stared at them morosely contemplating. "They are familiar, I have seen them somewhere before… I can't seem to remember… But I have seen them…" Nol mutters loud enough for us to hear her words.

"You two stay here, I am gonna go and check those two things out... As a demon, I am somewhat immune to curses and negative energy." I am immune to negative energy but as for curses I have no idea, so I lied to them.

And if by chance I get cursed, I will just buy some kind of curse removing potion from the shop and get rid of it, it's easy as that.

"Be careful, Issei-Sama." Nol warned me worriedly. "Your life is most important, so please be careful Darling" Misery also urges for my safety.

I approached the SCPs carefully and stopped ten meters away from them. "Open the wooden casket first." The one who is holding it nodded & slowly opened the casket revealing a crimson katana with a green gem attached to the blade collar of the blade.
