Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Charles reminded him, "I have some potions. After using the magic book, adjust your condition."

"An updated medicine?" Belle was quite surprised.

"Ah, it's a contraband, just like the unlocking drug. The ingredients are a blend of various divine bloods, though a large part of it comes from the hands of an evil god. In times of crisis, we don't need to worry about so many details."

Ciel yawned as he first took Belle to visit the [Hidden Witch], where they successfully acquired nearly five magic books before returning to their base.

Belle had experience using a magic book once before, and after confirming that Ciel could take over her at any time, she began to peruse it.

As the sacred texts in the grimoire began to invade Belle's mind, and she was about to fall into a deep sleep, Ciel took her place and stopped her body from fading away.

Time passed slowly, and an hour later, Belle slowly woke up.

"It should be successful."

Charles handed over another magic book: "There are four more. Let's awaken the third spell as well."

Belle nodded, but as the words on the two magic books disappeared, Belle did not fall into a drowsy state, and Ciel knew that there was no point in continuing.

"I'm sorry," Belle said, bowing her head in apology. "I've wasted three precious magic books in a row."

Charles put the last book into his arms: "There's no need to be discouraged. This just means that your third spell requires more special experience points to be eligible to unlock."

"These kinds of abilities are often quite special, so don't be discouraged."

Charles skillfully retrieved the renewal medicine from the warehouse and handed it to Belle.

"Come, let's see your new magic."

Alfia was in charge of clearing the area, but she left behind Charles, who claimed to be able to read sacred texts. A moment later, Belle held a parchment in her hand.

Alfia, upon receiving Belle's "report card," was equally surprised: "When was your last update?"

Belle scratched her face: "It was about a month after we conquered Orario with the High God."

Chardo looked up at the sky: "One month! The ability improvement after level 5 will be greatly reduced, how come you were able to increase by more than a thousand points in one month?"

He glanced at Alfia: "You really are a little monster. Your growth rate is probably even faster than Alfia's."

Charles understood the reason perfectly. First, he beat up Chardo, then he was rolled around in Alfia's continuous punches, and then he had a night of one-on-one training. How could the effect not be good?

Moreover, after witnessing Belle's improvement, Ciel felt that he had also gained a significant portion of the experience.

It's important to know that [Yuumi is on the move] is considered the same person, and at least half of it will be inherited by Ciel!

"In that case, we'll find you more sacrifices to push your potential to level 6 before you return to the future," Charles said with a wave of his hand.

Alfia nodded slightly.

She had even thought about who would be Belle's stepping stone.

There aren't many level 6 characters in the city, and Belle couldn't bring herself to take them, so she could only use those she didn't like from the Dark Faction to make up the numbers. Although their levels weren't high enough, there were enough of them to barely serve as whetstones.

Just as Alfia was pondering how to lure those idiots out...

Boom...

The ground shook.

"explode?"

The secret faction has launched another attack? We need to go help!

Belle glanced at Alfia.

“You go ahead, it’s not convenient for us to move around during the day.” Alfia refused: “We need to rest.”

Belle nodded, put on her mask, and rushed out without hesitation. Her figure, cloaked in black, transformed into lightning in an instant, engulfing the city.

The basement fell silent.

"Ah~ Miss Hero has started working!"

Charles yawned again: "So it seems you don't want to tell Belle about that. Are you planning to spoil Belle like this until she disappears?"

Chardo snatched the orange from Marie's hand again: "This is just a small-scale operation right now. The formal plan will take at least another month. Let her be."

"Just keep it from her like this?" Charles teased. "What if she single-handedly takes down the Dark Faction?"

"Whether those useless things exist or not doesn't make much difference," Alfia said, closing her eyes to rest. "Besides, I don't want to give her a bad impression."

So, they only tried to shift the blame onto me yesterday?

Chardo muttered to himself, tossed aside the orange peel, clapped his hands, and stood up: "And you, didn't you tell us to cooperate with you? Now that the little hero is off on his mission, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Charles spread his hands: "Speaking of cooperation, you're all too busy right now. How about this, let's make good use of the Dark Faction's resources and take me to see the man-made maze."

Alfia didn't object: "It should end before tonight; Belle still needs special training."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Chapter 103 Holding a kitchen knife, cutting power lines, sparks and lightning streak the way.

Orario.

The raging flames and explosions sounded like an alarm clock that would disturb one's peaceful sleep.

The attacks, scattered across different locations in Orario, instantly mobilized most of the city's fighting force. Residents who had lost their homes either gathered like zombies toward Daedalus Street (the slums) or couldn't help but flee out of Orario.

Regardless of which side they choose, hell may be waiting for them.

Beneath these deceptive attacks lies the true, deadly move...

"Oh~, I didn't expect it to be a food relief effort. Doesn't it smell pretty good? Let me join in, you guild bastards."

Wearing a revealing animal skin trench coat, Valetta sliced ​​one of the men in half at the waist with a single stroke, then covered her mouth and yelled, "Let me help you host a banquet too, so that your place can bloom with bright red fruit!"

She tossed her messy pink short hair aside, her fierce eyes glaring down at the rotting flesh staining the ground red:

"Remember now, this isn't a hell where you can smile! Charge, you men!"

"Yes!"

A brutal massacre unfolded at this moment, and blood and screams instantly stained the street red.

Countless figures dressed in white robes and wielding sharp blades rushed into the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

"Help! Adventurers, where are the adventurers?!"

"dad--"

The filthy faces of the crowd revealed their despair.

"You bastard, Emperor of Slaughter!" The adventurer stationed here roared and charged out with his weapon, but was beheaded in a single encounter.

"I'm a level 5! Come on, adventurers! What could be easier to kill than these furious trash!"

The weak defense was easily breached.

Valeta grabbed a man's head, snapped it off, and laughed maniacally.

"Cry! Shout! You vermin! No one will come back to save you! Those despicable adventurers only care about those merchants and their profits!"

"Die! Useless trash, no matter how many you kill, you two-legged sheep will just fill the void yourself! Just enjoy your pleasure!"

"Hahaha—"

"Huh?" Valette's ecstasy came to an abrupt halt.

In the blind spot of vision, a dazzling blue light flashed rapidly.

"What—ga?!"

Before Valeta could even turn her head, a fierce elbow strike landed squarely on her cheek.

With white hair and red eyes, the figure, completely covered in a black cloak, radiated a dazzling light like a hero.

"Yamete!" A ferocious look flashed across Belle's face as her figure, bathed in lightning, instantly covered the entire street. Flames wrapped in orange-yellow lightning pierced through dozens of white-robed thugs in an instant.

"You—" Valetta wiped the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her pupils contracting violently as she roared at the lightning, "It's you! Jester—!"

The flashing, surging lightning paused, then instantly turned its gun and charged towards Valetta.

The flaming dagger clashed with Valetta's blade, forcing her knees to buckle and nearly causing her to kneel on the ground!

"Tch, how awful!"

Immediately following, a blast of fire and wind swept over her. Valetta drew the dagger from her waist, swung her arm, and pierced through the lightning shadow. With a 'boom,' her surroundings were filled with ripples of electric arcs.

In the sudden flash of lightning, Valetta felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively grabbed the Dark Clan soldier who was falling towards her and used him as a shield behind her.

Vareta, bathed in the blood of his comrades, turned to the side and thrust his shoulder forward with a powerful jerk.

"Oh!"

The impact in her blind spot caused Belle to stumble.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Valette flipped over and rushed into the rooms on either side, escaping through the window on the other side.

Just as Belle was about to chase after them, she saw the villains still wielding their knives on the street. Gritting her teeth, she transformed into lightning and reaped the remaining foes.

From sunrise to sunset, from dawn to dusk, a figure shrouded in lightning and flames appears constantly throughout the city, saving one life after another.
