Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Do you have a suitable candidate?" The old god above the masterpiece slowly opened his eyes.

“I believe Lord Ganesha will agree to our request… and I also need to borrow his power now.”

Chapter 72 The Fortune Teller Returns

The next day,

The gentle sunlight, peeking lightly through the horizon, brings the first rays of light to the world.

On the city wall at the northwest gate, the clanging sound of fine iron striking each other could be heard incessantly.

"That's too high. We should adjust our attack trajectory based on the opponent's size and movements!"

The spear tip grazed Lily's nose, followed by a series of thrusts, which missed again. The girl's eyes darted left and right, her body nimbly shifting, the spear tip merely twisting slightly to deflect Charles's chaotic attacks.

"Huff, huff... No, I can't take it anymore, I need to rest." Charles braced his hands on his knees, sweat dripping onto his long shadow cast by the sunlight.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of teaching method that produces immediate results. Besides, my martial arts skills are all about fighting monsters... The training mode of the Fenana Knights cannot be completed by just two people."

The chestnut-haired, red-eyed girl spoke expressionlessly, like a heartless machine.

Charles tilted his head back and drank a bottle of stamina potion. Without stopping, he did jumping jacks and sit-ups to recover his strength and continue to train his body so that his newly upgraded body could quickly adapt.

The girl's crimson eyes disappeared, temporarily dispelling her transformation. Lily picked up the short gun Ciel had abandoned and praised it:

"Lord Ciel is amazing. He was completely unfamiliar with guns at first, but now he can hold his own against Lady Finana."

“She was just sparring with me.” Charles wiped the sweat from his face and asked, “So, how much of Finana’s technique have you mastered?”

Lily made a bitter face: "Ugh, that's too difficult. Lily probably doesn't have that talent."

Even if that memory is actively guiding Lily's actions, it is difficult to elevate Lily's cognition in a short period of time. The best way is to let Lily's body actively form a conditioned reflex.

Charles seemed lost in thought...

This kind of sparring is too slow. My sister Helen doesn't have a combat-specialized talent either. Even with the talent plundered by [Dual Fate], she can't reach the monster level of Alfia.

The best way to get both Ciel and Lily to master Fenana's combat techniques within a week is to possess Lily, thereby stealing Fenana's talent, and then find someone to spar with...

"Let's go... have some breakfast first."

Wiping the sweat from his body, Charles lifted himself upside down from the city wall, his hands on the ground.

The two followed the Northwest Avenue to the tavern located near the center of the Tower of Babel.

Catgirl Anya yawned, idly sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the shop. When she saw Ciel approaching, she waved and said, "Yo, boss, you're here to eat again, meow?"

"Is Seele not here?" Charles asked casually as he entered the shop and ordered two simple breakfasts.

Anya, leaning on her broom, said dejectedly, "Seele wasn't feeling well yesterday, meow, and she's taking the day off today, meow."

~(′ー｀～), I hope she comes soon, meow, I can't handle everything by myself, meow!

"Are you taking leave? Are you sick?"

He still wanted to confront Helen and seek her help. Charles seemed slightly disappointed. Could it be that because he had stolen her talent, her magic and skills were ineffective?

Charles's situation is somewhat different from Alfia's; it seems that his sudden emergence of this ability has directly affected the other party.

Anya gave a (￣▽￣) expression: "Heh, it's just those few days every month for girls, right? If you ask me, as long as you find a male to mate with, you won't have to worry about it."

"Idiot, you're talking about orcs' heat cycle. Humans are completely different," Sharl muttered, chewing on a pastry.

"Hehe, really?" Anya scratched her head, then delivered a powerful punch.

"Ah wu..."

"You're slacking off again! We're short-handed today, so get to work!" Mia roared.

Seeing the gray cat quickly resume its busy routine, Ciel realized that his plan to make Anya his sparring partner had failed.

He stared at the cat's tail swaying from side to side, his thoughts becoming complicated.

Anya is probably not even 12 years old yet...

A level 4 at the age of 12? What kind of genius is that? Just because of that arrogant older brother, the life of such a genius has been ruined. It's such a waste.

Since Seele wasn't here, there was no need to stay any longer. As Charles quickly finished eating, paid, and left, a timid voice sounded behind him.

"That... that..."

Charles turned his head and saw a timid girl with long blue hair covering one eye, leaning against the door frame at the restaurant entrance.

Oh? Isn't this my SSR? How come it's come to me like this?

“Oh, my dear fortune teller, it’s rare that you have time to visit my wicked friend.”

Charles beckoned the girl inside to talk.

Cassandra shrank back and obediently entered the shop, sitting opposite Ciel.

Lily stared at the girl suspiciously: "Is this the fortune teller lady that Lord Ciel mentioned?"

"Hmm? Otherwise, how would she know I was here? You agree, Cassan?"

When did I become a fortune teller?

Cassandra looked down and tugged at her fingers: "Um, I had a dream... It told me that I had to come to this store in the next few days, or the world would be destroyed."

Lily's face fell: "How could you have such a nonsensical dream? And you actually did it? Lord Ciel, does she really have the ability to foresee the future?"

Charles raised his index finger: "Shh, the future was already changed the moment the prophecy was revealed. Hmm, that's what it's called... quantum mechanics."

"Therefore, everything the fortune teller says is a lie."

Lily still remembered how confidently Charles told his story, and she rolled her eyes: "So, Lord Charles was just making up stories all along?"

Charles shook his head: "No, to put it another way... if you don't believe in prophecy, then the denial of lies will reverse cause and effect... and might even become the truth."

"babble--"

Charles smiled and looked at Cassandra: "So, in my dream, I will save the world in the future?"

Cassandra nodded weakly.

“I don’t believe it!” Charles sneered.

How could the ruthless, unscrupulous, and malicious Demon King Ciel be so kind as to save the world?

“That’s true…” Cassandra slumped onto the table.

“But I happen to need your help right now.” Charles patted the girl’s shoulder: “A request from a future great hero is worth a lot.”

"What is it?" The girl buried her head in her arms, peeking out with one eye.

Charles raised his hand and reported, "Mama Mia~~, I need Anya for a while, this child can cover for her at work!"

After saying that, Ciel grabbed Anya's wrist and rushed out of the shop.

"Huh? Eh? Boss~ are you taking Anya out to play, meow?"

"Wait for me! Lord Ciel!"

The shop fell silent instantly, leaving only a stunned girl: "Huh?"

"Ugh, one by one... Hmph. Alright, stop daydreaming, hurry up and get dressed. Let's get ready!"

Cassandra: "Eek eh eh eh eh————————"

Chapter 73 At this moment, she is not fighting alone!

West Market Wall. (A phrase implying something is missing here.)

"Meow!" "Ooh-hoo!"

"Clang! Clang!"

The cat-man's crisp roar and the clash of his twin guns created a jarring symphony, while metallic sparks splattered between two chestnut-haired girls, one tall and one short.

"Don't just focus on the thrusting, you also need to be aware of how to stab with the gun!" The cold voice came from the chestnut-haired Palum's mouth, and at the same time reached the ears of the other two people who were not at the scene.

Anya roared angrily, "Meow! Don't get too cocky, meow! You're a level 4 cat!"

"Too inexperienced. The most important thing when using a gun is engagement distance. You need to always be aware of how to bring the enemy into effective attack range."

Finana tilted her head slightly, easily dodging Anya's sweeping attack. She bent down slightly, avoiding the spear thrust once more, and closed the distance.

follow closely……

"What's left is courage..."

He stepped forward, bent his knees, and gently thrust the short gun hidden behind his back, its tip aimed at Anya's throat.

The powerful kick that was about to hit Finana's side stopped abruptly. Anya's pupils dilated, and relying on her amazing reaction speed, she swung her body to block the fatal blow.

Finana's marksmanship was like the Nine Swords of Dugu, attacking where the opponent had to defend, and her immense experience completely overwhelmed 12-year-old Anya.

Anya was covered in cold sweat: "Hey, that could kill you, meow!"

“Similarly, at level 4, every attack from you is enough to take my life. In exchange, I will also use my true abilities to be in accordance with the code of knighthood.” Finana sheathed her spear and stood still, as steady as a rock.

"Actually, foot combat is not my forte. If possible, please prepare a horse for me."

Inside the Soul Room.

Charles and Lily were dumbfounded.

"Lord Ciel, is this really my body? How can it be so powerful?"

"If the legend is correct, the first Finana did not have the protection of the fairy spirit. She really grew step by step with a mortal body, breaking the shackles all the way, until she was strong enough to crush the army of demons."

"As expected of the goddess of our clan! So powerful!"

"Don't be surprised. How much did you learn in that last round?"

Lily hesitated: "Uh... fifty-fifty percent?"

Charles assessed the situation and said, "I only have 30%."

The reason for this might be that Lily herself is highly compatible with Finana, in terms of mindset, habits, body, and so on.

In addition, the [Double Fate] ability directly replicates Finana's talents, essentially allowing her to rediscover forgotten skills.
