Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Celia waved to Vorame and Frillie, who were looking for a book to read nearby.

Shizue Izawa carefully hid behind Ronan, her eyes slightly evasive.

She nestled against Ronan, clutching his clothes tightly, trying to hold onto this only support.

Chapter 60, Section 61: Unique Skill: Heroic Will

After a long while, the oppressive atmosphere that had been permeating the air gradually dissipated.

Inside the reception room, Leon sat on a sofa, his gaze fixed on the five people in front of him.

"That's roughly what happened. I originally thought you were the intruders, which is why I launched the attack."

"However, since you are visitors from another world, there are no need for so many rules."

The location where visitors from another world appear is quite random.

Sometimes, when luck is against you, you might even fall into the deep sea.

Entering the Demon King's lair is, in a sense, a hellish start.

But who can argue with their overwhelming strength?

Ronan listened quietly, nodding thoughtfully, having a general understanding of the whole story.

At the same time, combined with Leon's explanation of the world situation, he finally realized what kind of world he had entered.

—The Great Forest of Jura, the Ten Great Demon Kings.

These names were quite familiar to Ronan.

It's almost certainly related to some kind of slime.

But this time...

"How many years ago is this? Shizue Izawa... could she be the girl who was eaten by a slime and transformed?"

"So, in a way, I indirectly changed history again?"

Although it's unclear why she was eaten, it's obvious that there's now some kind of intervention on their part.

This future will absolutely never happen again.

In theory, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

Can…

Ronan fell into deep thought when he thought about how the slime would become human without Shizue Izawa.

To be honest, he quite liked the King of Moe.

But then he remembered that whether the slime could transform was none of his business, and saving people was the most urgent matter, so he put the matter out of his mind.

Ronan raised his head again.

He looked at Leon and continued to ask:

"So the exact location here is... Have you heard of the Storm Dragon?"

Storm Dragon?

Leon frowned. How would a visitor from another world know this?

Although he was somewhat concerned, he was, after all, the Demon King, and knew what he should and shouldn't ask.

He remained calm and explained simply:

"Of course I've heard of it. It seems you may have had contact with people from this world before."

"The so-called Storm Dragon is named Veldora, and it was sealed deep in the Jura Forest more than two hundred years ago."

"This is Eldorard, the land of gold, which faces the Jura Forest across the sea and belongs to another continent."

Are you going there?

Ronan did not answer immediately; Leon's words made it clear to him that he was currently in the same timeline.

Sure enough, it was several decades before the slime's reincarnation, because the slime's reincarnation happened to be the 300th anniversary of the Storm Dragon's sealing.

Beside her, Celia raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She always felt that Ronan seemed to know everything about the world in advance.

Considering what the goddess said earlier, Ronan's identity seems to be getting increasingly mysterious...

"Hey." Celia was about to ask Ronan why he knew all this.

Leon suddenly stood up, his gaze indifferent, breaking the delicate atmosphere:

"It's getting late. No matter where you're from, please go and have some food first."

"Your Excellency, thank you very much for your magnanimity."

"However, there is one thing I must clarify: I am not a wicked demon king."

"I was once a hero, but I was forced to give up that identity because of some things."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, a hint of interest flashed in Ronan's eyes.

A dark side plot? That's something to look forward to.

If time hadn't been so tight, he really wanted to hear the story behind Leon.

Led by Leon, the group left the reception room.

Celia still looked absent-minded, her eyes wandering.

Izawa Shizue and Vlame followed silently behind Ronan, and the two inadvertently exchanged a glance.

Seeing the dependence in the other person's eyes, Vlame pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful.

Frillie, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.

After everyone sat down at the table, Frillie, remembering the voice that had just flashed through her mind, suddenly asked:

"What are skills?"

This abrupt question drew the attention of several people.

Ronan looked at Frilian, then his gaze shifted to Leon.

Leon had just sat down when he noticed everyone's eyes were on him. He paused for a moment, then carefully chose his words and patiently replied:

"Skills are special abilities bestowed upon visitors, reincarnators, and summoners from other worlds by the world's will when they first arrive in this world."

"It can enable ordinary people who originally had no talent to grow rapidly."

“We demon kings also have this, including heroes. It is a concrete power formed from our wishes after being bathed in demonic essence, something imprinted deep in our souls.”

"So that's how it is," Frillie thought, though she didn't quite understand at first, while Ronan instantly grasped the deeper meaning.

He used to wonder when watching anime that non-transmigrators also had skills.

Now he finally understood that everything was under the invisible observation of the world's will, which could even detect the deepest desires in one's heart.

From this perspective, she is indeed much better than the goddess.

Is this the way of Heaven?

Ronan pondered to himself, vaguely feeling that it resembled something.

At least from the perspective of its operating mechanism, it does not resemble a deity with subjective will at all, but rather an objectively existing rule.

As he pondered, Ronan raised his eyes to look at Frilian, preparing to ask her what her skills were.

At this moment, inside the castle, servants in neat uniforms began serving the dishes.

The presence of these people and the atmosphere at the scene brought him to a halt, and Ronan decided to wait until after he finished eating to continue.

At the same time, as thoughts arose, he also considered and judged the skills he had just acquired.

— [The Righteous] and [The Will of Heroes].

……

With Wind Spirit Moon Shadow activated, Ronan looked at his panel, eating slowly and thoroughly understanding the two skills.

According to Leon's description of the skills, these should be influenced by his statement about being a hero.

The act of defeating the Demon King was transformed into justice, which in turn gave rise to two different skills.

[The Righteous One] possesses abilities such as accelerated thinking, magical perception, malicious detection, and an indomitable soul.

The former can accelerate the speed of perception a thousand times, allowing people to make judgments in one second that previously took thousands of seconds.

Magic perception is a detection-type ability, with built-in language conversion capabilities, not to mention malicious detection.

As for the indomitable soul... you can't really tell anything from the literal meaning; it's just a simple strengthening of the soul.

But through Leon's words, Ronan learned that this was a prerequisite for the Justice's advanced ultimate skill—[King of Justice] (Michael).

It holds the power of domination and command.

How to advance is unclear at the moment, but it is likely related to the unique combat power system of this world.

—Magic Element.

Unlike magic power, magic element is the foundation of monster activities and the basic substance that makes up this world.

Even humans have some in their bodies to varying degrees.

I can modify the attributes myself, so I don't really care about this.

What he cared about was the second skill, Heroic Will.

This is a unique skill of the hero, which grants immunity to all forms of mind control.

Although it's unclear whether the damage cancellation trigger is effective against intangible spirits, it's always good to be prepared.

Thinking of this, Ronan nodded slightly.

After the meal, he gathered everyone in a room to inquire about their skills in order to better plan the next steps.
