Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"To level up the [God of War], you must always be in a critically injured state, and the experience points you can gain will definitely be less."

Charles was startled: "Yes, I forgot to consider the difficulty of the upgrade."

[Heavy Armor Warrior] can gain experience simply by fighting with a shield, but the conditions for the God of War are somewhat harsh, and the disadvantages become apparent immediately.

Alfia took a sip of red tea and instructed:

"Remember, a true strongman will not give his enemy a chance to weaken him. Rather than waiting until he is on the verge of death and desperately clinging to skills to survive, it is better to use his superior strength from the start to crush his opponent."

"I think 'Fighter' is more suitable for you than 'God of War'."

After listening to Alfia's analysis, Sharl felt it made a lot of sense. However, he had the ability of "gambling instinct," which gave him higher vitality than adventurers of the same level. Now he should focus on improving his defense and vitality.

Finally, Sharl's development capabilities are anchored as follows: [Divine Rune H] [Food Chain I] [Godslayer G] [Healing H] [Choice I] [Assault I] [Mage I] [Assassin I] [Heavy Armor Warrior I] (Godslayer buff +3)

“Let’s go. After we get the new ability, let’s go to an empty room and spar a bit to test its effects,” Alfia suggested.

"Wait... there are still a few rewards that haven't been claimed yet."

Charles brought out several reward orbs and then freed up five of them as equipment orbs.

The orb of light flickered, seemingly randomly selecting equipment.

At that moment, Sharl felt a surge of inspiration, and his [Choice] ability was activated, presenting four options before him...

Infinity Edge, Statikk Shiv, Ionic Spark, Blue Buff.

After a moment's thought, Xia Er chose [Ion Spark].

This is a magical item that can shatter the magical defenses of nearby enemies and deal damage to enemies casting spells based on a percentage of their magical power.

A blue ring appeared in Ciel's palm. Ciel was about to put the ring on Alfia's hand when she refused.

“You can wear it yourself.” Alfia held up ten fingers.

Charles discovered that all ten of her fingers were already stuffed with rings...

"Ahem..." Charles coughed lightly and continued selecting equipment.

As the light swirled, Sharl pulled out four more pieces of equipment:

A blue wizard's hat with a gold pocket watch attached to the brim;

A black mirror adorned with black roses;

A white short sword that spews red flames;

A magic wand carved in gold, with a blue teardrop gemstone suspended at its top.

Vogt's Wizard's Hat, The Sorcerer's Mirror, The Lich's Curse, The Archangel's Staff

"for you……"

Charles handed the Archangel and the Wizard's Hat to Alfia.

After equipping the two pieces of gear, Alfia felt the quality of her magic power more than double, and its reserves also increased significantly. The ten rings on her hands seemed to be subtly surging with energy, unable to suppress the overwhelming surge of magic.

"This……"

Ciel chuckled: "Since I'm called a witch, how can I not have a wand and a witch's hat?"

【Voglert's Wizard Hat】is another type of mage equipment unique to the 3v3 mode, a variant of 【Destroyer's Death Hat】 and 【Central Asian Hourglass】.

It can greatly enhance magic damage while possessing the powerful survival ability to freeze time and be immune to all damage for 5 seconds.

The Archangel's Staff has the effect of accumulating magic power. Once the teardrop at the center has accumulated enough magic power, it has the chance to transform into the Seraph's Embrace, which can form a barrier to block damage based on the maximum amount of magic power.

“This thing would be more suitable for that little Alpha…” Alfia suggested, holding her staff.

“I have a better gift for her…” Charles pulled out the golden dagger.

"【Lich's Bane】: After each spell is cast, it absorbs the dissipated magic power, increasing the magic damage for the next attack. Combined with Alpha's Overload, it can maximize her destructive power."

At the end of the equipment distribution, Charles took out the mirror carved with a black rose.

A face flashed in the mirror, smiling slightly at Charles.

The next moment, a dazed and expressionless Charles appeared before Alfia, his eyes flickering...

"A clone tool?"

Chapter 414 How to Use Neeko

Alfia stepped forward and pinched the clone's face, but the clone remained blank and unresponsive.

"A physical object? But it looks a bit dull. Is it really useful?"

Charles attempted to command: "Fight."

The clone raised its head slightly, its lifeless eyes fixed on Alfia, and shouted, "Stack Armor!"

Dark light flashed around him, forming two layers of shields.

He shouted again, "Iron Wall!"

A ghostly light emanates, enhancing defensive capabilities.

Immediately afterwards, the clone flashed and charged towards Alfia like a fighting machine.

Although his movements are conventional, they are rigid and stiff. Against opponents of the same level, he should be able to easily overwhelm him with skill.

"While retaining skills and magic, does it also possess a certain level of combat prowess...?"

Charles commented, "Much worse than Ansel."

After putting down the [Mirror of the Trickster], the clone Sharl disappeared.

Alfia curiously picked up the mirror and looked at herself. A completely identical Alfia appeared in front of Charles.

She slowly raised her hand...

"Holy crap, what are you trying to do?!"

"Gospel--"

The unreserved barrage of short texts crashed down on Xia Er, shattering his shields layer by layer, sending fragments flying everywhere. In an instant, he lost more than 40 layers of shields.

The magic dissipated, leaving the room in a mess, with large cracks appearing on the walls, looking like it was about to collapse.

Alfia stopped the clone and returned to standby mode.

"Won't it inherit my equipment? It's right there on me." Alfia curiously raised her clone's hand and saw ten sealing rings, neatly placed on her fingers.

Alfia narrowed her eyes and thrust out a hand, piercing through the clone's heart.

With a bang, the clone shattered, turning into magical light spots that scattered.

Alfia picked up the mirror again. This time, a signal of yearning for magic came from the mirror. Alfia frowned, but still poured half of her magic into the mirror.

The next moment, the completely new Alfia was reflected in the mirror and entered reality.

Charles couldn't help but stack two more shields on himself, and spread his hands, saying:

"You've seen the advantages too. With this mirror, any adventurer can be replicated, but their strength will never be the same as the original. It's more functional than combat-oriented."

Charles thought of himself.

The clone will retain the current template. As long as Ciel continues to equip the [Mirror of the Trickster], the current [World's Toughest Man] template will be retained by the clone.

Charles wondered if Philwiss were equipped with the [Mirror of the Trickster], would there be four Philwisss?

Or perhaps Chiron, a purely monster-like character, could be controlled with a collar?

Even more...

"Can this thing replicate gods?" Charles swallowed hard.

Alfia warned, "Don't take risks. It's unknown whether the copied gods have sealed their divine power, and it could lead to disaster. Just like your god-slayer, indiscriminately hunting gods could very well result in a collective backlash from the god species."

Ciel nodded.

The gods possess the ability to forcibly reverse the timeline in the event of an accident.

Therefore, even when it comes to slaying a god, Ciel tries his best to find his adoptive father to willingly sacrifice himself. The last time he killed the [Three-Phase Goddess], the risk was very high, and the consequences of failure might not be something Ciel could bear.

……

After dismantling the equipment, under Alfia's expectant gaze, Sharl pulled out the last and most precious item: the [Hero Replicator], commonly known as Neeko.

This is a golden sphere prop encased in a ring.

It floated in Xia's palm, undulating like a planet.

Ciel was unclear about its function and how to use it, but it probably wasn't simply copying an isotope as he thought.

After learning about the potential effects of 'Neeko', Alfia asked, "What are your plans?"

Charles hesitated and said, "I guess it should be able to transform an adventurer's template into the shape of someone else, like cosplay."

"In other words, possessing magic and skills? Even developmental abilities? Even a level?"

"It's not about the level, but the rest is hard to say. Maybe it's just like I know, simply copying a person." Charles thought for a moment, then took out the dream crystal that had lost its power and turned into a hazy gray color from his pocket.

“I want to leave it to Bell…”

Alfia was slightly surprised.

Charles explained, "Whether it's creating a new Belle or passing on Belle's stats to Belle, you won't lose out."

"In the former case, when Belle has her own 'existence' in this timeline, given her luck, she should be able to dream of this place again occasionally."

"The latter is because we have changed the course of the world, and Bell's future direction will also change drastically. Therefore, giving him the qualifications that Bell should have has is a fair deal for Bell."

Of course, after all this explanation, the reason why Ciel was willing to give his precious possession to Bell, ultimately, was for Alfia's sake.

Alfia was well aware of this as well, and shook her head, saying:

"Actually, the best way to test the results is to just use it directly."

"I can't bear to part with it..."

"You'd really be willing to give it to Bell?"

“…I’m reluctant to part with it. But I can bear the pain.” Charles’s little face scrunched up.

“You little rascal…” Alfia chuckled, reaching out to knead Charles’s face into an ugly mess, then pulling it apart and rolling it into a ball and flattening it.
