Chapter 192: Where’s Clementine?
Still, Shido couldn’t help but feel pleased with the progress in his stats. Most of his attributes were steadily rising toward B-rank, and it was a good thing for him. It was a step forward, though he knew it still wasn’t enough to dominate an entire world effortlessly, especially if that world had unique individuals capable of one punching enemies or bending reality itself.
Fortunately, Shido didn’t have to worry about that kind of threat right now. This world, while dangerous in its own right, wasn’t filled with beings on that absurd level of power. Even if he did encounter someone overwhelmingly strong, he believed he had the strength and tactics to survive, and, if necessary, escape.
As he continued browsing his status screen, his gaze shifted downward, until he noticed something new. A previously unseen feature had appeared in his system after maintenance for a while now.
The Sephira Crystal.
Just like in the anime, it was a mystical crystal capable of turning an ordinary girl into a Spirit. In truth, it was practically a cheat-level artifact, granting the user power that was at least a thousand times greater than before, along with extraordinary abilities.
With this thing, he could give strength to those who are close to him. He briefly considered who among his companions might be the right person to receive such a gift. But before he could dwell on it further, the sound of approaching footsteps pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Ugh... Good morning, Acheval-san." Rumia muttered as she entered the kitchen, holding her head with a pained expression. Tuare followed closely behind, clearly in the same state. Both of them were suffering from heavy hangovers after drinking too much the night before.
"G-Good morning, Acheval-san..." Tuare whispered sheepishly, clearly embarrassed by the aftermath of her actions last night.
Rumia was the same and her cheeks were slightly red. She really regretted drinking alcohol and she swear that she would never drink it again in the future since it made her head ache.
