Ultimate Skills | Sylvia El Ru

Out of nowhere, an angry woman made her appearance, she resembles Elmesia as if they were twins, but in my eyes they have a clear difference and that is their soul and energy, I am able to see through one's soul, life force, magical energy, and even a fraction of someone else fate thanks to [Sherlock] and based on what I'm seeing woman who just appeared out of nowhere is definitely stronger than Elmesia.

She was striding towards me clenching her fist seemingly ready to give me a beating.

This is bad.

I thought to myself.

I raised my guard readying myself to receive the blow, but my attention was drawn to the notification [Sherlock] sent into my head.

[The analysis of individuals [Elmesia] and [Sylvia] was successful.]

[Confirmed. Ultimate Skill [Vayu, Lord Of Heavenly Wind] has been acquired.]

[Confirmed. Ultimate Skill [Indra, Lord Of Thunder] has been acquired.]

Damn- two ultimate skills.

I know they're stronger than due to EP difference, but they also have ultimate skills.

I'm literally at the abode of two predators.

I gasped in surprise.

[Error]

[Error]

[Notice. The acquisition of ultimate skills [Vayu, Lord Of Heavenly Wind] [Indra, Lord Of Thunder] has been cancelled.]

[It is recommended master to evolve farther before acquiring any more ultimate skills.]

[Currently the soul of master wouldn't be able to handle the strain of another ultimate skill.]

That's unfortunate…

[Searching for a possible evolution path…]

[Possible available evolution path-

Trinity Royal Phoenix → Heavenly Celestial Phoenix

Trinity Royal Phoenix → Divine Dragon Phoenix

Trinity Royal Phoenix → Nightmare Blood Phoenix]

.

[Evolution Requirement-

Heavenly Celestial Phoenix-

Fight alongside a hero and gain positive karma along the way.]

.

[Evolution Requirement-

Divine Dragon Phoenix-

Defeat a dragon king then consume its soul, blood and core.]

.

[Evolution Requirement-

Nightmare Blood Phoenix-

Go on a rampage and consume human blood equivalent to an entire river.]

…

The first is a big no…

Who would want to be a side character.

I'm not Cid Kagenou.

Worse the hero might turn me into a pet.

At that point I might actually kill the hero and that would be bad for my reputation.

The third one is also a no-go, I don't intend to go for a Thanos route for now, or I might attract everyone's attention now that Rimuru's still hadn't taken his first steps.

Changing the timeline is definitely inevitable, but I should at least make sure Rimuru would grow to the point of being able to match and defeat Michael, Feldway and Ivaraj.

I can probably face them myself after 3 or more years based on my growth rate but becoming a meat shield for others and attracting too much attention isn't really my thing.

That's a hero's job, though in this world it is the demon lord's job.

Either way I will walk my own path and if I happened to cross paths with Rimuru and other prominent characters in Tensura that's it.

I will just go with the flow.

Elmesia and Leon aren't really that prominent to begin with, they are more like side characters in the story.

There's also my plan of taming Primordial Yellow and that will definitely change the whole timeline.

Back to the topic-

I will choose the [Divine Dragon Phoenix] path, though slaying a dragon king is a hassle because they're as strong as awakened true demon lords I should be able to manage it.

I have 3 ultimate skills for gods' sake beating an awakened demon lord's ass isn't a problem to me so long they don't possess an ultimate skill.

…

I was so occupied by my own thoughts that I wasn't able to put up my guard against Sylvia's pinch on my cheeks.

Is this supposed to be an attack?

She's literally treating me like a child.

Well, I couldn't blame her because my current look is that of a genuine child.

Moreover, I'm also a bit childish.

Ugh

She's actually pulling my cheeks comically.

Both of my cheeks are being stretched hard as if I'm some gag character.

Ouch- Ouch-

I have [Pain Nullification] why does it hurt.

My question was directed to [Sherlock] who I blame for my current situation, if it didn't disturb me I could have put up a defense or a last struggle against her assault.

[Individual [Sylvia] had infused the power of ultimate skill [Indra, Lord Of Thunder] in her attack bypassing your [Pain Nullification] ]

So, it's like that no wonder my [Pain Nullification] was ignored.

So much for a so-called [Pain Nullification] it didn't even nullify the pain.

Besides this is not an attack dammit- this is more like she's bullying me.

I screamed internally to Sherlock.

"Damn it brat.

How dare you destroy the flowers I've been cultivating for thousands of years."

Screamed Sylvia in my ears as she continued to pull my cheeks until it turned swollen.

She's definitely angry.

Wait-

Flowers?

Damn- demon lord landing is not really a good idea.

Now wonder she's pissed.

Who wouldn't be, even I would be pissed if I'm in her position.

Wait- is that tears on her cheeks.

Ugh

This is all my fault.

ELF-san don't cry, it's ruining your beauty.

I wanted to voice out but decided it's a bad idea.

I'm currently in a child's body so if I said that I will look like a joke to her, and she might give me an even more painful punishment.

"Um- I'm sorry I didn't mean it."

I tried apologizing to her but her reply made me deadpan.

"You better be sorry, do you know how hard it is to get those flowers, the mere price of all the flowers you just annihilated is enough to bankrupt multiple kingdoms, and you erase all of them in a single landing."

Said Sylvia as she pulled my cheeks harder.

So it's all about money.

Tch

No matter the world money is everything.

If I happened to become a god, I would want to be a god of money.

He didn't know he just raised a flag.

Ouch- Ouch-

Does she not know restraint.

I know she is very angry but-

She's literally pulling the cheeks of a child while infusing the power of an ultimate skill, even an enlightened human would die from having their cheeks pull with this much force and power.

[While the master is in a child form, the master's real age if based on the master's previous world should be that of 16 years old, so the master cannot really be considered as a child anymore in human standards.]

Shut up Sherlock I don't need you opinion about my age.
