Now if that’s not overpowered, I don’t know what is.
Caution: Item description porn.

Naofumi:”Ugggh.”
I groan after the three of them left the meeting room.
I’m thinking about all of the information drawn out of those guys.
But, I have no idea how to judge what is the truth, and what is a lie.
……As I compile their claims on a memo, I groan again.
It is common for us to absorb the dropped items from demons.
Well, they should be able to understand this much.
When a weapon is already found from the same system, it becomes possible to equip that weapon after unsealing it.
Besides compounding, the weapon can also act as a proxy for other creation skills.
All of their claims match up until here.
Let’s come to a conclusion on the claims of their respective strengthening methods after seeing it myself. I don’t know what each respective differences in characteristics their weapons have compared to my shield.
……Though they also took a stab at my shield’s power to train companions……
Ren.
Proficiency: The more the same weapon is used, the more the power increases.
Rarity Increase: By using energy, it is possible to increase the weapon’s rarity. Overall ability will improve.
Motoyasu.
Tempering: Equipment can be strengthened with the use of ore.
Status Enchant: Stats can be increased.
Itsuki.
Reinforcing: A weapon’s power can increase by using a specific type of ore.
Job Level: Stats can be boosted up by absorbing items acquired from specific demons.
(Tl note: ドーピング Doping, I couldn’t really find a way to fit this into the sentence without it sounding weird. Example: Stats can be doped up by absorbing……” This makes me cringe for some reason.)
Something like this.
There’s Energy for Reinforcement, Tempering, Skill Proficiency, and Rarity is also covered.
There’s also as many as three enchantment systems.
In the first place, all three of them are from worlds where games are common, but each one of them is operating with a different game in mind.
VRMMO, Ordinary MMO, and Console Games.
Due to bad experiences with fan games.
For some reason or another, there was a similar system used in my old world.
But……Is that really the case?
I turn my eyes to the shield.
I mean that would explain the curse series.
The series couldn’t be found when I looked through the skill tree before, it only appeared at the time I thought Firo died.
I see. It’s influenced by……The heart.
It may not have appeared if I denied it from the beginning.
The drops were the same. However, I did not understand it.
……Of course It’s still not there.
Is it in a completely different category? Is the system structure different from those guys?
Negative…… Of course.
Perhaps……Is that why I can’t do the things that those guys can do?
If I look at it from a purely objective standpoint, my field of view should widen right?
There are drops! There is copying!
Believe it…… Believe in it. Imagine the screen with the drop list that pops up when a demon is defeated.
I press the system menu on the shield.
A window appeared with parts of dismantled demons, and other items that were absorbed pop up.
Naofumi:”What the hell is this!?”
It seems the power of believing exists……Didn’t me being cautious and skeptical narrow down my own possibilities?
Ah, a plant that can be used for magic power water came out. The materials for soul healing water also appeared……
Beside that……Ah, there’s a considerable amount of garbage. There are some demon entrails too.
I turn my attention to Itsuki’s ore.
I can’t help but try to believe it.
It exists. He was even angry to that extent. He shouldn’t have told a lie.
I am denying this somewhere.
Is the power of my trust not enough? Feels like an anime for children……
However……I’ll still believe it.
Shadow:”Hero of the Shield-dono?”
Shadow speaks to get my attention. But I decided that in order to preserve my life, I started a glaring contest with the shield.
Believe it!
Itsuki’s Reinforcing happened. There is also Item Enchant.
Otherwise, we are only slightly stronger than the usual adventurers.
I believed in the idea, and pressed the icon on the shield.
The next moment.
With a ding, an item for Reinforcement appeared.
Naofumi:”Alright!”
I let the shield absorb the ore I got from Rishia, and let the shield search for the corresponding request.
Found it.
Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
To experiment, I reinforced the Shark Bite Shield.
This enhancement method is somewhat similar to a game in my world called Monster Hunter.
I did not suffer so far without reason. There are many who use a shield and move sluggishly…… It would be a bad habit to only use strong weapons. A combination of a shield and a one-handed sword is by far the strongest, with it being easy to move, and strong to defend.
Though for convenience, in that game, a the bow was exactly that. Perhaps it might be similar. Well, the difference would be magic since it didn’t exist,
Let’s use the energy from an item that was absorbed before.
Oh? From the blue shark’s intestines, I discover an aquatic monster damage mitigation skill. Let’s try it out.
The probability of the first try will absolutely succeed.
Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
Item Enchant Level 1: 2% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .
Since there still a little left, I’ll try it again.
I got it to level 2.
Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
Item Enchant Level 2: 3% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .
While getting carried away and apply more, I stopped at seven. The success rate for 8 is rather low.
Ability Unsealed…… Equipment Bonus: On Board Combat Skills 1.
Item Enchant Level 7: 16% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .
……This will be amazing when fighting against aquatic type demons.
At any rate, another gauge exists, I think Itsuki’s word for it was Job Level. Let’s try it out.
Defense Job Level 1
Defense Gauge 0/5
A large number of the internal organs from demons was absorbed, and the button was pressed repeatedly.
It looks like after 1, the rate the gauge rises slows down.
Defense Gauge 5/5
Defense Job Level 2
And the Defense Gauge now displays 0/6.
It seem it is necessary to increase it regularly.
At any rate, the others probably didn’t lie either.
First of all is Ren.
While praying as strongly as that time with Itsuki, I open a menu, I habitually use the Chimeric Viper Shield.
Chimeric Viper Shield 0/30 C
Special Effect: Snake’s Fang (Intermediate) Hook
Proficiency: 100
Somehow, the stats have already risen enormously, but……
It seems the maximum is 100.
As I was playing around the menu with my finger.
Would you like to reset skill Proficiency?
A system message popped-up.
Then, the ability reverts back to the shield that I knew.
2000 Skill Energy Acquired.
……I select the Chimeric Viper as the target.
For the time being, I convert enough Skill Energy to upgrade.
I hear the sound of something being filled.
Chimeric Viper Shield (Awakened) 0/30 C
Special Effect: Snake’s Fang (High) Long Hook
Proficiency: 0
Its base ability went up considerably.
What is this!?
Do I increase the rarity Now? C is an abbreviation of Common.
As I thought, Energy is still insufficient. Let’s continue to convert and increase it.
Challenge!
Failure!
Like I’d fail!
Success!
Chimeric Viper Shield (Awakened) 0/30 UC
Special Effect: Snake’s Fang (High) Long Hook
Proficiency: 0
UC……Uncommon.
After several more challenges, I managed to raise it up to R. With just That It’s ability went up considerably.
The amount of increase is abnormal. The Proficiency also increases……Wait a Minute!
Furthermore, there is also Motoyasu’s claim……I believe and open the menu. I already believe all of it greedily.
Let’s test out Spirit Enchant.
Since I gathered a large amount of demon soul fragments from Magenta Frogs on this island, let’s use it!
Chimeric Viper Shield (Awakened) 0/30 R
Special Effect: Snake’s Fang (High) Long Hook
Magenta Frog Spirit: 16% Damage Reduction of Poison Monsters.
Let’s also try out Status Enchant.
The Result, magical power was added.
Chimeric Viper Shield (Awakened) 0/30 R
Special Effect: Snake’s Fang (High) Long Hook
Magenta Frog Spirit: 16% Damage Reduction of Poison Monsters.
Status Enchant: Magic Power +20
Huge! That amount of Magical Power is huge!
The shield has become remarkably stronger than before.
Though I was bewildered about Itsuki and Ren’s similar description of Rare and Rarity.
Let’s take the opportunity to check Help.
Naofumi:”……”
Sure enough, everything is added.
This is good……I can even use the systems from old net games which I know.
Naofumi:”Huh?”
No matter how much I think or pray, I have no idea what to say to them.
Anyway……
Naofumi:”Shadow……”
Naofumi:”Notify the other heroes. Tell them that everything said here was true. No one told a lie. Tell them that unless they truly believe each other, it won’t work.”
To think that such a thing would happen. That reminds me, the queen did say so before.
Due to the results here, I can understand. No, that already exceeded the worst-case scenario.
If they stalled to put the replica in its original form, and wasn’t outwitted……It would have been impossible.
After I give advice to Shadow, I leave the meeting room and head back to mine.
