After receiving the system notification, I smiled. Finally, my editing skill leveled up! I'm excited to see what has changed.
Maybe I can create skills now.
'Hey, what changed?' Kumoko asked me, her eyes still shining. I hadn't looked at anything yet, so I replied.
'I still need to check. First, we need to take care of this mess. Who sent this guy? I'm still curious.'
'You're not going to revive him?'
'I will, but I need to be careful. He was strong; he might end up out of my control.'
'Ugh, that's dangerous. I think I'd better step back.' Kumoko took a few steps back, avoiding being close. I sighed deeply and approached the body of the guy named Ferdinand. As I expected, I can revive him.
But I'm still worried...
'Screw it, let's do this.'
I changed Ferdinand's status to alive, and his eyes slowly opened. His eyes were empty, just like the other two under my control. It worked.
'Unfortunately, he lost all his stats. But at least he has battle experience. And he came with a lot of skills.'
This is the first time one of my familiars has revived with so many skills. I'm shocked. I thought he would come with two or three skills.
"Master..." Ferdinand muttered as he looked at me. I noticed his eyebrow twitched a little.
'What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable to call me master? Did you keep your consciousness?'
At my question, Ferdinand averted his gaze. He has his consciousness intact.
'So you kept your consciousness. Maybe because you were powerful? I didn't expect this. This system keeps surprising me.'
"You revived me? I didn't imagine such magic could exist. But my wound is still here. It is not healed."
Ferdinand still had a hole in his chest. However, the blood wasn't coming out. He was without blood in his body despite not being pale.
'Your skin color is normal. I remember Liu and the red-haired girl had pale faces, but you look normal.'
I turned to look at Liu and the red-haired girl and was surprised.
'Wow, you guys look more normal now. What's this? Is it because the skill is at level 7 now?'
The two looked at me with a smile. They could show emotions very well now. Their smiles were natural, and their skin became slightly more tanned as if they were healthier.
How interesting.
I hope there's more new stuff about my familiars.
'Oh, this is surprising. Now, all my familiars will come with 1,000 in each status. And... I can double their current stats! I can set their stats to 2,000.'
The problem is that I'll have to edit the stats of all these monsters.
They disappear into the horizon. There are so many of them.
"What are you planning to do now?" Then Ferdinand walked toward me. He grabbed his sword from the ground and sheathed it at his waist. He doesn't seem to want to fight me anymore.
Or he can't.
Even if they have more consciousness, they probably can't have negative feelings toward me. This system is quite convenient.
'I was going to ask you about the person who sent you here.'
"Are you talking about Hugo? He was my master before you appeared."
'Hugo? Hugo... Wait, I remember him! Is he an arrogant, son-of-a-bitch brat?'
"... I wouldn't say that to his face before, but now that he's not here. Yes, he is exactly that."
'I see, so Hugo was your master.'
I don't remember this guy in the story; he's a new anomaly that appeared in this world. He was pretty strong, that's surprising.
'Alright, now that I know your master is Hugo, I want you to go back to where he is and cut that bastard's head off. He will be very problematic in the future.'
"I can't do that. It's not as easy as it seems."
'I'm sure you can do it.'
"After you killed me, I'm weaker now. I can't even use the skills I had before. I won't be able to fight against the guards under his control. Even he can kill me now... I think."
'You're useless, aren't you?'
"But it's your fault. If you hadn't killed and revived me, I would have enough strength to deal with this."
'If I hadn't killed you, would you have listened to me? I'm sure you wouldn't. You were emanating an enormous bloodlust. You wanted me dead at all costs.'
"It was an order from Hugo, so..."
'Does that bastard have a skill to control you or something? It seems like you couldn't refuse an order from him. You were damn strong.'
"I was strong, but there are people stronger than me by his side."
'Does that even make sense? This world is strange. There shouldn't be so many strong people like that. Who are these people?'
Ferdinand started telling me about the strong people around Hugo, and I was incredulous at everything I heard.
'I don't know any of these people. It doesn't make sense. None of them are relevant characters.'
"Relevant characters? What do you mean by that?"
'Never mind.'
'Eliot, why are you still talking? Doesn't he want to kill you?' Kumoko approached.
'Him? He's my subordinate now. I was talking about who sent him here. There are many strong people there. We'll probably keep being hunted.'
'That's crap~~ I just wanted some peace.'
'Don't worry, I can make my familiars stronger now. I'll be able to handle this situation.'
'Yes, I'm sure of that~~' Kumoko mocked and turned her back to me. She walked over to Liu and the red-haired girl, looking very thoughtful. I immediately remembered that I had called her Kumoko.
Is she thinking about that? Or did she not even notice?
'Ferdinand, stay close to Liu and the red-haired girl. You will work together from now on, understood?'
"Yes, no problem."
'Great!'
