Chapter 115

Juri and Luria didn't want to spend too much time in the swamps, but walking in wild lands, problems would naturally arise and by the bunch.

One of them was:

[Giant Grotesque Toad(Elite/BOSS) - Level 148 / 84]

A creature with strong Negative Energy was walking alone, looking for prey!

Juri and Luria wouldn't even notice it, if it weren't for the dense Negative Energy it exuded.

"Wait!" - Said Juri stopping Luria from killing her.

"What?" - Luria was confused.

"That... I think it must be someone's experiment or... this creature was born that way..." - Juri said doubtfully.

You see, the feeling this frog gave her, was that it was a natural, magical creature.

In fact, the feeling it gives her, reminds her of Filanodora, who mixed Negative Energy with Magic somehow.

"Okay, then just kill it!" - Luria said.

"I'll kill, my Luck is higher, maybe I'll drop something that will help understand the creature better!" - Said Juri, whereupon Luria shrugged.

So what followed was a massacre, a poor frog desperately trying to escape while exhaling dense amounts of corrosive poison.

But in the end it was all useless for Juri's [Sovereign's Command]!

So the poor frog was killed and nothing important fell, Juri was disappointed.

'I'll try to get another of the Katanas I gave Mr. Pietro, or try to get that one back to do some research!' - Juri thought, but she understood that for that, she needs to understand the Runes.

Juri remembers that Filanodora used Magic Circles, that is connected to the Magic Runes as far as she knows.

And Magic Circles are similar to Aura, what do you mean? Not in terms of use, since the nature of both is different, but in terms of Power!

From Level 1~99, Warriors use [Magic Force]!

From Level 100+, Warriors become Aura Masters, practicing Aura!

Magicians are different, from Level 1~99, Magicians practice Magic and mainly study Runes, using them to cast spells.

But at Level 100+, Magi become Great Magi or Archmages, using more advanced methods of the Magic Runes, creating the [Magic Circles].

Great Magi use 1 to 2 Circles, Juri believes that it is those of Level 100~199, who are the Great Magi.

An Archmage like Neferu, could cast spells of 3rd and 4th Circles, but because he became an Ice Elemental, the nature of his Magic changed drastically, making it more like Juri's [Elemental Magic] and [Elemental Manipulation].

Neferu simply gained a natural instinct for Magic, so he only needed to use his Magic Runes to amplify the power of his spells, since he manipulates form and effect by instinct.

Maybe he uses the Magic Circles, but it is something so quick and simple for Neferu due to his race, that Juri missed it.

But the focus is, everyone has their methods of getting stronger and upon reaching certain thresholds, the strength just skyrockets!

For example the Martial Artists, unlikely the [Chi] is like that when awakening it.

Of course those who awaken Chi externally would be weak children, so the Chi would not be much, but over time their Wisdom would increase and they would transcend their limits.

But the focus is, Chi becomes complete at Level 100, the System has confirmed this to you, but before that, Chi still exists, it can be used in a similar way, but its amplification should be very different.

Maybe it is even another name, Juri is curious, but likely she will only find out in her next life.

The System informs her many things, but also things he finds not necessary, he simply ignores Juri's questions.

...

After the small conflict with a frog, the two continued on and came into conflict with other Tribes of Lizardmans.

The Lizardmans even though they are smart and possible to dialogue with, this is because they have the System, so dialogue was not a problem.

But the Lizardmans are considered monsters, as they both noticed that they seem to eat human flesh.

Finally the two stopped taking it easy, so they started to kill them!

They of course did not actively seek them out, but if they came near them, they would die!

So it happened that another Lizardman BOSS came to them, which Luria didn't want to talk about, and just beheaded him!

On the 3rd day while traveling through the swamps, they were unlucky enough to encounter a swarm of Bloodsucking Mosquitoes, which had some Levels of Paranormal Exposure.

Either the creatures of the swamps are more susceptible to being born with Paranormal Exposure, or some Cult stayed here for a long time and tainted these lands.

Well, whatever the answer is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Luria annihilated them!

They were weak, Level 5~15, even though there were a few hundred, maybe thousands, in the end they were fragile mosquitoes, and she is a fucking powerful Level 199 Knight!

The good thing is that even though they were low Level, there were so many of them that it gave Luria a good amount of XP, and she is getting closer and closer to reaching Level 200.

…

The swamp is simply gigantic, it took them 9 days to cross it, that's at their speed!

They feel sorry for traders and groups that must cross these swamps and end up spending a month or more crossing it.

Surely they must make many detours, it's just not worth it!

If it weren't for this road being a shortcut out of the confusion of a certain war faster, they would have taken a detour.

But that's the thing, they are two beautiful and hot women, that in itself is already shouting: EI, COME CREATE PROBLEMS FOR US!

And when such problems arise, they will solve them with the fist!

And by solving them with their fist, they would attract the attention of the "Warlords", as the Rebel leaders are being called by the inhabitants of nations outside this conflict.

The lands of the former empire in their eyes, has simply become a place not worth messing with, maybe they will come around to devour this cake when it calms down, but right now, let them kill each other!

But well, the important thing is, if 2 beautiful and powerful women emerge, what would happen?

The answer is simple, the "Warlord" of that area, would order his invitation, refusing, would make him his enemy and trouble would arise.

Should they annihilate some troops, problems would only grow and more eyes would land on them, but invitations, more enemies, a never ending fucking cycle!

So the wisest choice is: Don't get involved in fucking politics!

...

After 9 long days, Juri saw that his Skill [Stench Resistance] had reached Level 83, well, you just keep breathing and this Skill gains XP.

At some point it got to the point where Juri didn't even feel it anymore.

Luria also stopped using up her Chi for this and adapted to the smell as well, even if she sometimes got nauseous.

But other than that, Luria for participating in so many conflicts, including killing 7 BOSSES, 4 Elites/BOSSES and 22 Elites!

Levels ranged from 120~170, but it was still a huge amount of XP, which finally got her to Level 200!

She got significantly stronger, but that's the thing, she didn't evolve her Race, her requirements being: 750 Strength and Constitution, 1,000 Wisdom, 1,500 Agility and 3,000 Intelligence.

In other words, Luria's race is always aiming for a more magical area, where Luria for the first time in her life, felt resented by her race.

She is obviously focusing on a more combatant path, even if the Intelligence is good to have a lot of Mana.

And not to mention that [Superior Ice Elf], increases by +150% Life and +450% Mana, not to mention a +100% Ice Element Damage bonus!

But well, the important thing is that reaching Level 200, she got stronger and can have Tier 3 Abilities, including her [Ice Immunity], went up 25 Levels, reaching Level 33!

Not to mention that practicing the [White Knights Handbook] became easier for her, she herself didn't know why.

And this happened on the 8th day, when Luria, feeling strange, asked to go back home, so Juri created a Level 1 Dungeon for her to stay in, and at Luria's request, she continued exploring the new continent, only alone!

Juri learned that Luria will probably do something that will make her stronger, Juri knows it must be something related to [White Star], she herself said that she feels she is slowly developing the 2nd, the problem is that something is missing, it seems that it isn't missing anymore.

And well, now alone in this new world, Juri has finally left the swamps, finding herself in a forest, but from what she heard from a certain bandit, it's a short forest.
