Chapter 62
Yeah, so, when I saw that boss-class spider, I ran away. Unreal, right? I’ve seen guys worse than him before, so why did I freak out like that?
The mystery of the boss-spider aside, it’s turning into a pain in the butt for me already.
You see, I don’t know why I did it, but I decided to save the boss-spider’s status page with the Kigal-Note’s Bestiary function. Then, to complete the Quest, the sewer workers called in the noble knights of the country even. They’re practically this world’s (or at least this city’s) variant of the army! Th guard’s just simple police officers.
Even an idiot could see where this was going. So, I decided to skedaddle right after I wrote down every single detail regarding the boss-spider. I mean, fighting something like that gives nothing in return when you take a look at the risks.
Unfortunately, the knight captain had different plans. I got assaulted with a nasty feeling that turned out to be the knight captain had used [Identification] on me.
Do people get assaulted by that feeling just from that old skill? Gust didn’t do that, but he was my Tamed monster back then, so maybe that didn’t count? Then, most of the monsters I Identified before could have left me alone if I didn’t do so? Even the snake that ended up as my first kill? Oops.
Since other people haven’t said anything when I Identify them, nor showing any discomfort, I think some of my skills, probably one of the stealth-related ones that I keep in a semi-active state, must have prevented them from feeling that I did so. The skill the body of Glavras had must have been an improved version of this natural ability of people.
The point is, the knight captain figured out my skills. Those that the Ring of John Due allowed them to see, sure, but unfortunately, [Identification] and [Auto-Mapping] were among those skills.
Why are these two so bad? Because [Auto-Mapping] had reached Lv.20 by the time I discovered the boss-spider! That unlocked the whole Marking function, which shows the position of any creature I Identify while I’m on the same map!
The knight captain would definitely want me on the subjugation team as a boss-spider-radar. You don’t get any wishes if you use me to get seven of those, you know?
And right when I was mustering the courage to excuse myself from the battle, the fallen angel stepped in and said something in the line of "Do not worry! We, the member of the Belial Private Army will make sure to keep this wonderful city safe!".
