No, is this for real?
As soon as we came out of the manhole, we nearly got hit by a carriage.
While rolling to avoid it, we got sucked into the basement window of an unknown house.
And there was the wounded Cherin Ferang sitting in lotus position.
But Oliver called Cherin Ferang his master.
And that master, Cherin Ferang, was saying he would transfer his magic power to Oliver.
This was undoubtedly.
‘A fateful encounter, an inner energy transfer!’
It was definitely a master transferring inner energy to his disciple.
For magicians, the ability to utilize more magic power distinguishes their level.
The same applies to knights and warriors.
How much magic power they can utilize is an important factor in distinguishing their level.
They accumulate magic power inside their bodies like monsters. It’s very similar to the inner energy in martial arts novels.
Someone like the Sword Saint must have accumulated enormous magic power inside his body over the years.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come to Oliver.
“Suddenly transferring magic power, what do you mean?”
“The will must continue. Isn’t that better than rotting away holding everything alone?”
The relationship between Oliver and Cherin Ferang probably wasn’t a deeply emotional master-disciple relationship.
Oliver had briefly mentioned it before.
That obtaining Cherin Ferang’s dagger technique was a coincidence.
Apparently, he appeared one day and taught his dagger technique only to a few promising youths in the sewers.
That was the extent of their relationship.
“I am dying soon, Noksu.”
Cherin Ferang’s current state looked quite dangerous.
Oliver had no choice but to accept.
In fact, a magic power transfer was truly a precious opportunity. Normally, it would be impossible even if one knelt and offered all their wealth.
Oliver took off his upper garment and sat cross-legged in front of Cherin Ferang.
Cherin Ferang placed both hands on Oliver’s back.
“Ssassat!”
I was moved by the scene that seemed straight out of a martial arts novel actually unfolding before my eyes.
“Wait a moment!”
At that moment, Oliver stopped Cherin Ferang.
He took out the Incense of Great Fortune that he had carefully tucked in his collar.
He pinched the incense, which had a little less than half remaining, to extinguish it.
“I don’t think I’ll need any more luck…”
Then he handed the incense to me.
I was touched by Oliver’s kindness.
I wasn’t sure if it could be reused, but returning the incense in this situation was a very generous choice.
‘You deserve to receive the inner power transfer!’
Only then did Cherin Ferang notice me.
“Seems like a monster with intelligence.”
“Ah yes, a very smart and good monster.”
“…I see.”
He must have many doubts.
But he’s in a dire situation himself.
“I need to concentrate. You probably can’t handle all of it, so I’ll transfer only one-third of my magic power.”
“That much…”
“Let’s begin.”
And Cherin Ferang began transferring his magic power to Oliver.
I don’t know how it’s done.
There must be some technique unique to humans.
“Urgh.”
“Hup!”
An old man and a middle-aged man with their upper bodies exposed and sweating profusely wasn’t exactly a pleasant sight.
I was bored by myself and became curious.
I should check Grandmaster Cherin Ferang’s status window.
As someone who learned the Ferang School Dagger Technique, Cherin Ferang, who created that martial art, was undoubtedly a grandmaster.
When I briefly looked earlier, I couldn’t see his level well.
If I try a bit harder…
──────────────
[Cherin Ferang lv298]
[Titles] Master Thief, Shadow of the Imperial Capital
[Traits] [Rogue], [Rebel]
──────────────
I can see it.
The grandmaster’s level is almost 300.
The somewhat disappointing thing is, while I’m also a disciple in a way, he’s only transferring magic power to Oliver.
──────────────
[Skills] [Ferang School Dagger Technique lv40], [Ferang School Stealth Technique lv30], [Shadow Cutting lv10]…
──────────────
Come to think of it.
With the grandmaster busy right now, it might be okay to help myself to something.
Like an excellent skill.
I focused intently, my eyes bulging.
Right now, with Cherin Ferang immersed in transferring magic power, is the opportunity.
──────────────
…[Slash Resistance lv10], [Spirit: Shadow lv10]
──────────────
Spirit technique? No, Ferang School Stealth Technique would be good too.
What could be more frightening than a snake that approaches stealthily and bites ankles?
But…
There must be a skill that makes my heart race.
I found it.
──────────────
[Shadow Pursuit: Dagger lv5]
──────────────
I who have mastered Ferang School Dagger Technique.
And I also have Dawn, a meteoric iron dagger.
Judging by the skill name, it’s clearly a movement skill, and movement-related abilities are exactly what I lack.
Most importantly, its level.
Being only at level 5 might mean it’s a higher-tier skill?
And somehow, the name gives me an intuitive feeling.
There isn’t much time.
I made up my mind immediately. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
「Using Majesty to enhance Crown of Steal lv4.」
「Using Crown of Steal lv4 to borrow ‘Shadow Pursuit: Dagger lv5’.」
And, I succeeded.
「You have temporarily gained ‘Shadow Pursuit: Dagger lv1’.」
Yes!
I got it.
Cherin Ferang didn’t seem to notice that I had borrowed his skill.
Having gained something, I behaved quietly afterward.
The inner energy transfer ended faster than expected.
“Kuhak!”
Oliver suddenly spat out a black mass.
It must be some kind of impurity.
“Huu, haa.”
Cherin Ferang breathed heavily, sweating profusely.
“It’s done. Run away quickly. I’m being pursued…”
“Master…”
“This place feels like my grave. Though it’s regrettable not to have achieved my lifelong wish…”
The grandmaster seemed to think he would die here.
Until I took out a potion from my subspace.
“A potion…?”
“Yes, shall I apply it for you?”
“Y-yes. I had used up all my potions anyway.”
Cherin Ferang didn’t seem to have high expectations.
But I always spend all my money to stock only the highest quality potions.
Sizzle!
When I sprinkled the potion, steam rose and the open wounds closed.
“This is a truly remarkable potion…”
“Yes, Mr. Snake, I mean the snake, always carries potions.”
“A monster…?”
The grandmaster seems to be the type who obsesses over trivial matters.
A monster can carry potions too, you know.
Anyway, the dying Cherin Ferang now seemed to have a will to live.
