I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 419


(419) Malina and Kanon


Translator: Tseirp


“You two, why!?”


“I’m not really sure but Torerul-sama appeared in my dream when I was sleeping . ”


“She said that Jo~ would be in danger here and asked us to help . And when we went to Jo~ room, n.o.body was there so we quickly ran over . ”


So Torerul-sama did something .


Sheesh, that G.o.ddess-sama usually slacks off but she does a good job when it comes down to it .


“Jofre, Elize, you’re just in time . Carol and Quince-san here … please protect them . Also, I’ll entrust this to you . ”


I handed a total of 12 rare medals to Jofre that I collected from continuously hunting monsters in the Florence dungeon .


“You know how to use it, right?”


“Yes, leave it to me . I’ll feed Centaur one at a time whenever it defeats a monster as a reward . ”


I actually thought of letting Centaur eat it and strengthening it but I guess that would work too .


Jofre and Elize had leveled up too and were considerably strong but the most reliable was Centaur .


“Carol, please use Home Return when it gets dangerous . ”


“Understood, good luck to you too, Ichino-sama . ”


Carol sent me off as we headed to the room with the pitfall .


I hugged Malina, Haru hugged Miri and we jumped into the hole together .


【Ichinojo leveled up】


【Fire Magician skill: 「Fire Resistance (Medium)」has skilled up to「Fire Resistance (High)」】


【Wind Magician skill: 「Wind Resistance (Medium)」has skilled up to「Wind Resistance (High)」】


【Earth Magician skill: 「Earth Resistance (Medium)」has skilled up to「Earth Resistance (High)」】


【Water Magician skill: 「Water Resistance (Medium)」has skilled up to「Water Resistance (High)」】


As I fell down the pit, I was informed that each of my attribute resistance had increased along with the message telling me that I leveled up . I’ll put the thoughts aside for now .


Previously I used Water Magic to stop our falling momentum when we fell into the pit during our dungeon conquest but this time, I wanted to conserve my magical power as much as possible so the two of us kicked the wall while falling to reduce our speed .


Thankfully, the bottom of the pitfall was not a spike h.e.l.l but an ordinary floor .


“Malina, clench your teeth!”


“Miri-sama, please be careful of the shock . ”


Haru and I warned them as we kicked the last wall and landed such that we slid diagonally .


There was almost no damage to my feet .


Haru seemed fine too .


“This is the 13th floor? Are the three of you okay?”


“I’m okay . ”


“I’m all right too . ”


“It’s not a big deal if I think of how I was held by Haru and flew through the Dakyat forest . ”


Marina seemed to be a little stronger now but the three of them seemed safe .


This dungeon extended to the 15th floor so we had two more floors to go .


By the time we reach there, we will meet the Hero, Kanon and Talwi .


The monsters on the 13th floor didn’t seem to be affected by Carol and Quince-san’s Moon Captivating Fragrance . Unlike the monsters that headed straight for Quince-san without batting an eyelid at us, these monsters attacked us like normal .


Marina drew her bow but,


“Save your magical power!”


I said and drew White Wolf Fang, opening a path .


I left the drop items alone this time and made use of the time usually spent picking them up .


“Master, Miri-sama, Marina-san, I smell Kanon!”


“Kanon!? Haru, where is Kanon!?”


“This way!”


Haru replied and started leading the way .


We followed after her . Along the way, I knocked down the monsters with Swordsman and Samurai skills such as Slash, Tornado Slash, and Flash .


The stairs leading to the 14th floor was full of monsters but,


“Pet.i.te Stone!”


Only the spell name was pet.i.te as a 1 meter wide stone collided with the monsters and rolled down the stairs while gathering all the other monsters .


That amount of magical power consumption could be recovered in less than a minute .


“Master, this way!”


We stepped on the fallen monsters under the stairs and proceeded further .


Finally, we found the stairs leading to the 15th floor, the lowest floor .


If we went down the stairs – –


“Eh? Haru, isn’t this the way?”


“Yes, it seems that the Hero is below but Kanon-san appears to be on this floor . ”


Wasn’t Kanon and the Hero working together?


“Also, there is one more person with Kanon-san – -”


Haru announced their name .


Kanon was in a wide hidden room similar to the mountain bandit hideout behind an illusionary wall where Norn was held captive .


“Ara, Suke-kun and Kaguya-chan . So this place has been revealed . ”


She was with Demon G.o.d Minerva-sama .


“Don’t pretend . Since you knew Haru was with us, not planning against her sense of smell is the same as telling us to find you . ”


Miri commented and looked at Kanon at the same time .


Her eyes were vacant and she didn’t seem normal .


“I don’t care if you are a G.o.ddess or whatnot, what have you done to my sworn friend Kanon!”


“What? I am a former G.o.ddess of Medicine . Of course, I used medicine . ”


She said as she stuck out her tongue and took out a test tube with black liquid in it .


“I’m just adjusting her to be a Demon G.o.d’s vessel . ”


“That – -”


Miri seemed to recognize the medicine as she glared at Minerva after seeing it .


“Yes, this is the failed product that Kaguya-chan researched to purify miasma . It was supposed to be research to extract miasma from monsters but you ended up with a drug that will familiarize the body with miasma after it enters the body . Thanks to this, I can help her awaken as a Demon G.o.d – -”


A wind arrow flew toward her before Minerva-sama finished speaking .


It was a surprise attack but Minerva-sama easily avoided the arrow .


“Ara, Malina-chan . I did not finish my sentence . ”


“It’s Marina . You’ve spoken enough . You are the reason for Kanon’s condition . ”


“Ara? You put it as though I am the evil person here but this is Kanon-chan’s will . ”


“ … What?”


Marina stopped her hand that was pulling her arrow .


“Kanon-chan volunteered to become a Demon G.o.d . ”


Minerva-sama said with a smile .


“Devil Race are destined to hide to survive from the time they are born . Although part of the race under Kaguya-chan’s leadership when she was the Demon Lord were not that discriminated against . Before she entered the Demon Lord Army, her mother, father, brother, and sister were tipped off by the neighbors that received them with a smile, and their true ident.i.ties were revealed, leading to their capture and execution . She was coincidentally in a forest so she survived and was able to enter the Demon Lord Army . However, the discrimination against the Devil Race in the Demon Lord Army still occurred away from Kaguya-chan’s eyes . This Kanon-chan has been treated badly by her superior, the vampire Valf, for some time . ”


I looked over my shoulder at Miri .


She was gnashing her teeth regretfully .


“Of course, it is not Kaguya-chan’s fault . For a huge organization, there will always be some rifts . ”


“In other words, Kanon hated this world and succ.u.mbed to evil?”


“That’s rude . We’re saving this world, you know?”


Minerva replied with a smile .


I could not feel any resemblance to her previous insistence to die .


Was this her true nature?


“After all, once the world ends, whether it’s a G.o.ddess or a Demon G.o.d, they would die after they fulfill their roles . It is finally time to discard everything and die . Isn’t it wonderful?”


“Then feel free to die on your own! Dark Sword . ”


Miri replied and released a sword of darkness .


But Minerva-sama – – no, Minerva caught it with her fingers .


The next instant, Miri’s spell shattered and dispersed .


“Onii!”


“All right – -”


Now was the time to use the Demon Lord’s power – – just as I had that thought .


Kanon suddenly moved and rapidly approached me .


(Hand-to-hand combat!?)


I caught the sharp kick from Kanon with my arm .


I was unhurt but the surface of my skin was hot due to the friction .


Kanon followed up with a kick .


“Onii, avoid!”


I followed Miri’s instruction and flew backward with my arm that was about to receive the blow out in front .


At the same time, a dagger appeared out of the toes of the shoes Kanon was wearing and brushed past my face .


I let my guard down .


“Ah, Miri-sama is a tough opponent after all . ”


“Kanon, you still retain your sanity?”


I didn’t expect Kanon to still be sane .


When I looked at where Minerva stood, she had already disappeared .


“Yes, that is right . I thought she had her guard down . ”


Deceiving was her specialty so to speak .


“Kanon, it’s an order . Stand down . ”


Miri commanded Kanon .


But she did not back down .


“Unfortunately, your Demon Lord Authority does not affect me anymore . ”


Kanon replied with a bold smile .


Demon Lord Authority – – it was a skill that forcibly converts a submissive target into your kin and rob a part of their experience points . I used it to raise my Demon Lord level but the original usage was to force the target to obey like a slave collar .


So Kanon was once Miri’s kin?


“Kanon, why! Why lend your hand to the Demon G.o.d! Do you hate this world that much!”


Marina asked with a look of grief .


“ … I don’t need to tell you that . ”


d.a.m.n, in this case, we’ll have to stop Kanon by force .


“Kusunoki, can you leave this to me?”


“Marina, what are you saying?”


“It might be my fate to settle it with my friend . Thankfully it seems that monsters can’t enter this room . ”


“But – -”


“Kusunoki, there is not enough time . Carol and Quince-dono are waiting . ”


But I couldn’t leave Marina there alone .


“Ah, that’s true . Don’t worry . I won’t kill Marina . I’ll hurt her a little and let her watch through my transformation into a Demon G.o.d before sending her back to the surface unharmed . Since further ahead should be the current Demon Lord-sama who is managing the Demon Lord Army on behalf of Miri-chan . ”


Kanon said .


“Master, let’s trust Marina-san and Kanon-san here . There should be a reason they fight for that only the two of them know . ”


“It is a fact that we do not have time . I’m worried about the reason why Minerva was here too so we should quickly find the Hero . ”


“ … All right . Don’t push yourself … Malina . ”


“I said I am Marina … no, you’re right . ”


Marina replied with a smile .


“I don’t plan to push myself . Don’t worry and leave this to me . ”


There was no way I wouldn’t worry .


Nevertheless, although I didn’t trust Marina or Kanon, I trusted in the bond between the two of them .
