The Extra's Return

[Status Window - Open.]

[Name: Jeanne.

Title: Impenetrable Tank, Child Protector, Madwoman, Adventurer Rank A.

Stats:

(Strength: B) (Speed: C) (Endurance: A) (Agility: E) (Immunity: B) (Mana Core: Middle)

Skills:

Berserk, Shield Mastery, Great Barrier, Defense Cultivation.

Blessing:

God of Wrath Blessing: Skill Emotional Fuel.]

[The Great Barrier skill has been added to the target's Status Window. It was identified that the skill came from the Enlightenment that the target experienced earlier.]

Not only did her skills increase, but her stats also grew at a terrifying rate.

If it was just from Enlightenment, it was impossible. Then, the increase in stats she had experienced must have also come from the blessing process.

[Comparing the target's stats with the stats she had before.]

[Strength had increased from C to B.]

[Speed had increased from E to C.]

[Immunity had increased from C to B.]

Indeed, I was really surprised because not only did her stats increase, but her skills also increased.

Nonetheless, it wasn't just her who benefited from the previous events.

I have also benefited from helping her achieve Enlightenment and assisting her in the process of granting the God of Wrath's blessing.

You must not forget that the Stigma of Darkness had absorbed the Mana that exploded from Jeanne's body earlier when she obtained the Blessing from the God of Wrath.

And because the Stigma of Darkness had absorbed that Mana, I was able to gain additional benefits.

"Open Status."

Stigma of Darkness.

(Mana stored in Stigma of Darkness: 600/600.) (Puppet stored in Stigma of Darkness: Nya Nu, The Fallen Lich.)]

Although my stats didn't change, I managed to obtain the Emotional Control skill because the Stigma of Darkness had absorbed the Mana that overflowed from Jeanne's body.

I haven't told you guys yet, but, when the Stigma of Darkness absorbed the Mana that had overflowed from Jeanne's body, the Stigma of Darkness was also absorbing some of the Blessing that Jeanne's body was unable to contain.

In other words, the Stigma of Darkness had managed to eat the scattered crumbs that were not consumed by Jeanne's body.

To make it easier for you to understand, I'll show you the notification that I got earlier, It was roughly like this.

[Stigma of Darkness successfully absorbed the blessing piece from God of Wrath.]

[Started to convert the blessing piece from God of Wrath.]

[Congratulations! You have successfully obtained the Emotional Control skill.]

[Name: Emotional Control Skill.

Description: When you activate the Emotional Control skill, you will be able to regulate your emotions better. Controlled emotions will improve your thinking ability so that your combat ability will also improve].

What I caught from the skill description was, Emotional Control skill is a buff-type skill.

Maybe it was a bit similar to Jeanne's Berserk skill or Gilbert's Rage skill, but the skill description did not list any side effects. Instead, there were only good effects, where I could control my emotions.

'But I didn't know how strong the buff would be just from looking at the skill description.'

Of course, since it came from the crumbs of Mana eaten by the Stigma of Darkness, the resulting buff effect would likely be very low.

Very different from the actual recipient of the blessing.

When I had finished analyzing Jeanne's and my stats, I went back to listening to her tantrum more intently.

"...You should be prepared to pay for everything you've done to me!"

Her words were short but very fitting for her to say now.

She really intends to kill me.

After I had made her experience Enlightenment to the point of receiving a blessing from the God of Wrath, I now had to fight her instead.

My feelings are probably the same as yours when you get a pet, but when your pet grows up, it suddenly tries to kill you.

She was already taking a stab at attacking me.

The sound of Mana's movement around her was getting noisier. Until finally, I could see a form or manifestation of the Mana she had. An image resembling the image of a monster formed around her body.

[Target has activated the blessing of the god of wrath: Emotional Fuel Skill - Activated.]

[Target had been starting to activate berserk skills.]

[Due to the blessing of the god of wrath, the effect of the berserk skill that can make the user lose sanity is now gone.]

[According to the target's current emotion, it was identified that the duration of the Emotional Fuel skill can only last for one minute.]

'Thank goodness if it's only for a minute.

Regardless of the duration of Emotional Fuel's skill, she had not advanced to attack me.

Even though she was so angry that she had unconsciously activated the Berserk skill and Emotional Fuel skill.

Was there still a hesitation in her head to attack me? Since I couldn't tear out the contents of her head, I don't know what she was thinking.

Seeing her standing still without attacking me, I felt strange.

Even though she was full of anger, she stood still without moving.

She should have just attacked me as if she wanted to kill me, that way, I could complete the quests of the world system more perfectly.

I had no other choice at this point.

It looks like I'll have to pull the trigger, which was to provoke her into attacking me.

Isn't that also part of something a villain always does, provoke the MC and get killed like a bug?

"Aren't you going to kill me?"

"Grrrr!"

She growled like a beast.

Ignoring her growl, I continued to speak while demonstrating the stupidity she possessed.

"I'll tell you something. That magician came here to capture all those children. That goal hasn't changed. And regarding the identity of the people who attacked the orphanage, that person was a slave trader."

I paused to let the atmosphere become even more tense.

My eyes met hers with a disdainful glare.

"Do you know what happens if those children become slaves? ...Yes, they will be played with by the local nobles. There are also those who will be used as sex slaves depending on their future masters-"

Finally, I managed to squeeze the trigger on her head.

"Aaarrhhh!"

Without giving me time to finish my sentence, she attacked me blindly.

Since the shield she had was destroyed, she attacked me with her bare hands.

That was the same with me. I didn't want to take the Svangur Sword that was in the Inventory because there was a magician there watching.

Therefore, our fight became a pure hand-to-hand combat.

Our fight was not a good fight because we were not hand-to-hand combat specialists. So, Jeanne's punches and the parries I made all looked disorganized.

If there was a modern martial arts instructor here, he would cry when he saw our fight.

Nevertheless, I still tried my best to deal with Jeanne's barrage of angry punches.

"Ugh!"

I didn't expect every punch she threw to be so deadly.

Maybe she herself didn't realize the power she was unleashing. I was feeling that her strength was already beyond her normal strength.

However, this superpower she unleashed made perfect sense. Although our power stats were the same, but because she activated the Berserk and Emotional Fuel skills, her attacks were already on another level.

[It was identified that the target's attack was already one level above normal stats.]

The World System confirmed my guess.

As a result of her strength being greater than her stats, of course I was having great difficulty keeping up with her movements. Even though I was really serious about fighting her. Even so, I couldn't see any loopholes at all.

I stand corrected. I had seen many loopholes in her attacks. However, I felt that I would be completely ruined if I forced myself to exploit the loopholes that she created.

Moreover, she has a high defense. What a complete package. Isn't her character too overpowered? I don't know who I can complain to about that.

I could only endure the pain from her incoming punches that hit my stomach several times.

Are you asking what the secret was that I was able to survive when Jeanne kept hitting me? It was because of the chainmail underneath the robe I was wearing.

This chainmail was a magic item that successfully absorbed Jeanne's attack. I hope you won't be surprised, but this chainmail was Pavlova's chainmail.

I don't think I need to tell you how I stripped this chainmail from the slave trader's body.

Regardless, almost 70 percent of Jeanne's attacks managed to hit my body. It was a good thing that this was not a boxing match that used incoming punch points as an indicator of defeat.

Moreover, since it was not a boxing match, we were not in the ring. In other words, I was free to run away from her attacks.

I preferred to run even though I was wearing chainmail on my body.

I couldn't run with my back to Jeanne like someone running away while being chased by a wild animal, if I did that, I could end up K.O. in one attack due to not paying attention to her.

And that's how our fight continued.
