Marry was already snoring very hard and me?
I couldn't sleep.
It's not because the sound of Marry making that I can't sleep but because the things she feedback about me makes me overthink.
My barrier shield, I looked at it fiercely.
「 Barrier: Barrier Shield
Skill type: Passive
Skill rank: D-
Layer: 2
Barrier level: 2
Dispellable: Yes
Barrier Type: Physic & Magic
Counter: Pure, Physic, Magic, Holy, Crit 」
Although I never cared about my skills, it's because I thought I'm already okay. I thought I'm already strong but I still have a long way to go.
The only powerful skill I have and I can tell that it's strong was my Special Ultimate Passive Skill: Marionettist, the controller, (Lucifer)— It can manipulate people, but it can also be countered.
The people in the Capital and the officers or guards are very weak, that's why I can control them sufficiently.
But if they have an ultimate skill, I might not be able to control them.
The string from Lucifer was also a 'Pure' damage type. And 'Pure' damage can pierce through any barrier like my Barrier Shield.
There are still many subskills connected to Lucifer but I still can't control the others.
Second, the Ultimate Skill: Angel of Peace, (Chamuel)— It's a powerful one that can also be countered for my Lucifer. But it's mostly all holy and Peace attacks. And it didn't have a heal subskill which is why I'm in a very bad position.
And the other skill left I have was Azazel, Stout, and Puppeteer's anger.
— These skills are only for a buff. Stout can increase my strength and Puppeteer's anger can increase my power. And Azazel for creation.
I really.... Don't have a heal or any resistance other than heat?
"Hhhmmmg."
I paused when Marry changed the position of her sleep and turned to my side.
'I might wake her up so I'll go outside for a while.'
Then I silently and slowly moved and went outside the tent.
I got scared for a moment when two dolls appeared in front of my face and I almost shouted.
I forgot that I left the two dolls outside to guard us.
I stepped outside the blue barrier made by Marry and the two dolls followed me as well.
Come to think of it, these dolls are also my skill right?
"Hey dolls, do you have a healing skill?" I asked them and they didn't respond.
Should I say 'as I expected?'
The dolls seemed to have a consciousness but they don't have a will of their own. They also don't have a mouth.
'Just kidding.' I chuckled as I walked away to get some fresh air.
I was worried that I left Marry alone and someone might attack her, but she had a barrier and she also said there were no enemies nearby so I think it should be okay.
I sat down on the ground not too far away from the tent in the woods to admire the moon and to overthink even more.
I also had no detection skill, I'm still lacking. No, I think it's normal since it's been a week since I came to this world.
And even with that, I still don't have any memories of why I'm here.
Ding!
A familiar sound I haven't heard for too long came to me with a screen in front of me next.
[ Notice ]
「 The individual named "Akoto" has successfully evolved into a Demon Lord. 」
What..?!
Ding!
Another screen showed up.
[ Notice ]
「 Following next, the individual named 'Corago' successfully evolved into a Demon king. 」
D-demon king and demon lord... What's this?
[ Due to evolution of a higher being, the notification will be off to assist the two higher being ]
Ding!
I noticed a presence of a person in the back of. I thought it was Marry, but....
A tip of a sword appeared in the top of my right shoulder just beside my face.
'N-no way! It passed through my Barrier Shield??!'
A figure of a tall man was behind me.
"Oho? You must thank me you got to see the notification before you die." The man said in a bragging and insulting tone.
He withdrew his sword, then aimed it at me again and swung in my direction.
'I'm gonna d—!
"Gamma Burst!!" My body move on its own
The two dolls who were floating launched a full gamma burst attack at the target, behind me.
I quickly jumped away and gained my posture. Gamma burst might be a fatal skill but— the man with the sword received the blow but only a minimal damage.
"Shit, you got some skill that hurts me so much huh? Miss Puppeteer?"
"Who are you!?"
"I am Staz. Be thankful to me in the afterlife that you could tell to Lucifer who killed you." He responded then burst into a hysterical mocking laugh.
'What about Marry? This is bad, I shouldn't have gone out of the tent...'
I scanned my eyes through the man and a bad result came to me.
「 Name: Staz Walt
Power: 10097
Class: Warrior
Skill: Multiple Barrier, Death Embraced, Death smash, etc.
Ultimate skill: King of War, (Ares) 」
Truly bad! He had an ultimate skill so my Lucifer might not work on him!
Sweat starts to tickle in my forehead as I struggle to think.
Not to mention, he's very big!
What should I do...?
"What? Scared already? Ur no fun at all." The man announced and he was ready to swing his sword at me again.
'Run— that's my only choice!'
I slowly walk backwards with my hand slowly raising.
"Oho? Don't run miss puppeteer~~"
"Nebulae Parade!!"
The two dolls spit out a heavy smoke. In just a second, the smoke already covered the whole area.
The smoke however was like the galaxy. It has many colors and it was like the whole area we are in suddenly turned into a nebula.
"Shit! You got some tricks huh?!"
The tent was not that far away so I run towards the tent. And when I arrived, I took a peek from the trees and saw Marry with a card on her hand, having a fight with another man.
Marry was on the ground and the man was pointing his sword at her. The tip of the sword was stopped by the card on her hand.
'This man must be the subordinate of the man named staz earlier... '
"M-Mareine-san, perfect timing! Please help me with this man!" She noticed me right after. Despite being close to death, she still has some courage left.
"Gamma Burst!"
The other man swiftly invaded my attack and backed out.
And Marry, having the chance, escaped and went closer to me.
"Marry, are you okay..?"
"....N-no, I'm not."
Marry was wounded. She had many cuts and many of her cards were also sliced.
"Haiz." The man whom Marry fought opened his mouth while he walked to the place where I ran from.
Then, from the shadows, another man appeared. It was the man who I managed to escape.
"You troubled me to search for you huh? Little miss puppeteer?"
The man who introduced himself as staz, the man who I fought with.
The other man joined him.
"Let's get this over with, Staz."
"Yea, let's finish this easy task."
A two versus two, a human vs. human combat. We are at a disadvantage. What should we do? We can't run. The only choice was to.....
.....Fight.
