Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Chapter 36

Now then, since Aisha has left for the guild, let’s finish dismantling the remaining Orcs and go to the butcher and alchemist.

Steadily cutting the corpses to pieces with ?Cut?, I was able to finish dismantling around 35 orcs and High?Orcs in about an hour.

Both the butcher oji-san and the alchemist shop’s onii-san were flustered over the large amount of material, and it was already afternoon when all the transactions ended.

Because the orcs exceed the butcher oji-san’s inventory, he told me that for the time being, he can’t buy the orcs.

Although the alchemist shop’s onii-san said that he could buy them no matter how many there are, since it will be wasteful to leave the meat alone, I decided to be quiet for a while.

Well, either way, since I’ve crushed the settlement, I don’t think I can hunt orcs for now.

I returned home, but I’ve ran out of things to do.

So, I thought that I should check the numerous Skills I’ve obtained and investigate how to use them.

These are the Skills I possess right now whose abilities I don’t quite understand.

?King’s Intimidation

?Finger Bullet Lv3 (TLN: Previously Blame)

?Strength Rise

?Physics Rise

?Defence Rise

?Unbeatable

?Mitigate

?Absolute Evasion

?Sorcery Extremity LV2

?Vitality Absorption?Large

?Characteristic Magic?Space-time

?Probability

?Tame

?Martial Arts : Successive Shot

?Martial Arts : Consecutive Attacks

?Martial Arts : Sharpness?Sword

Let’s try appraising them one by one.

?King’s Intimidation?: Activation at one’s desired timing on opponent(s).

The target will enter a state of panic and will be immobilised.

The larger the level gap between the user and the target, the stronger and longer the effects.

If I remember correctly, this was the Orc?King’s Skill.......

This seems amazingly brutal, you know.

If it used this before I could steal it, it would have been extremely bad.

If I were to use it, it seems like it would be really useful.

Especially since I am level 61 now, it will probably be effective against most opponents.

——

?Finger Bullet?: Air is hyper-compressed into a sphere, which will be fired at the target by flipping the thumb.

The power depends on how long the air was compressed.

This was from that guy Lyle.

This is an unexpectedly amazing Skill, isn’t it?

Firing compressed air means that a colourless sphere is fired, right?

Using it with wind magic, my opponents would not be able to see it, and there would be no need for exaggerated movements.

Let’s try checking on its usefulness in an actual fight later.

——

?Strength Rise?: Active Skill, effective for about three minutes. The user’s physical attack will be increased by 1.5 times. (TLN: Active skill = voluntarily activated)

I somehow used this in the battle with the Orc?King, but this is a surprisingly strong Skill, huh.

Since its effective duration is limited, it should be good to use it with Martial Arts.

——

?Physics Rise?: Active Skill, effective for about three minutes. The user’s physical defence will be increased by 1.5 times.

I also used this in the battle against the Orc?King, this is the defensive version of War Cry, huh.

Since this Skill’s effective duration is also limited, I will need to think on how to use it.

——

?Defence Rise?: Active Skill, effective for about ten minutes. The user’s physical defence and magic defence will be increased by 2 times.

Uwa, this is amazing....... I wonder if this is Physics Rise’s higher ranked Skill?

Since the effective duration is considerably long, and it also raises magic defence, it’s very useful.

——

?Unbeatable?: Active Skill, effective for about 30 seconds. While it is activated, all physical attacks will have no effect.

The cooldown time is three hours.

This is also really amazing....... Even if it’s a fatal blow, if I can time the activation well, I won’t receive any damage.

If I remember correctly, it was from the Orc?General who came later.

It was the right choice to use magic, huh. I am trembling, although it’s too late for that.

——

?Mitigate?: Active Skill, effective for about three minutes. Physical damage received by the user will be cut by 1/5.

Somehow, there seems to be a lot of defensive Skills, huh.

This is also a fairly effective way to defend, huh. If it’s used together with other Skills it might bring out an effect similar to Unbeatable.

——

?Absolute Evasion?: Active Skill, effective for about thirty seconds. While it is activated, all physical attacks will be evaded.

The cooldown time is three hours.

Once again, another defensive Skill.

It’s really similar to Unbeatable, huh. The only difference is disabling and evading.

If used directly after Unbeatable, physical attacks would be invalidated for one minute, wouldn’t they?

——

?Sorcery Extremity?: Automatically activated when magic is used. Magic power will be increased by five times.

......Eh? Wait a minute? Isn’t this, like, amazing?

All the magic I use will have its strength increased by five times, won’t they?

Not understanding its significance, I used this and thought I crushed the Orc?Generals because of self enhancements.......

No wonder they only died by magic....... Now I understand.

However, the Orc?King who was fine even after receiving the successive magic attacks really was unbelievable, huh.......

——

?Vitality Absorption?Large ?: Active Skill, vitality will be greatly stolen from the target group and used to restore the user’s vitality.

Since the other Skills are too strong, this isn’t as eye-catching, but it seems like it would be convenient depending on when I use it.

——

?Characteristic Magic?Space-time?: Active Skill, magic which manipulates space and time.

Hm? I don’t quite understand this. ......This magic was the Orc?King’s huh.

I’ve never heard of this magic.

Manipulating space and time...... Space!? Ah, is this perhaps......!!

After the Orc?King became visible at a distance, it appeared in front of me in an instant. Was that because of this!?

I can’t believe it...... that such a magic exists.......

If I could avoid in an instant, and make surprise attacks like what that guy did...... This, this is really sick.

Although I thought of this before, the Orc?King was a really dangerous guy.......

?King’s Intimidation??Characteristic Magic?Space-time??Realize?

All of these Skills are way too extraordinary.

Since I could steal Skills, if it was just a match, once it uses these Skills, I think I would be defeated in a blink of an eye.

Calamity Class is a really fitting title.......

For now, it’ll be worth it to test this magic out.

Let’s experiment with this later.

——

?Probability?: Continuous activation, when a monster is defeated, there will be a higher chance for drops.

Although this is useless in combat, it’s a Skill I’m grateful for.

If I had this when I was previously collecting slime oil, I probably would have obtained way more of them.

——

?Tame?: Active Skill, after activating on a target monster, the monster will be captured with a certain probability, and can be enslaved.

If Tame’s level is increased, more monsters can be enslaved.

Also, if Tame’s level is increased, the probability of capturing monsters will increase.

This was from the Goblin?Tamer.

Come to think of it, in Aisha’s explanation, there was a Clan whose objective is to Tame.

I wonder what kind of magic beast they tame. Since she said that they gather precious magic beasts, there should be amazing ones.

Since I too have this Skill, I can Tame something soon.

——

?Martial Arts : Successive Shot?: Archery martial arts, after the first arrow is fired, arrows composed of mental strength will be fired consecutively. The arrows’ attack is based on the first arrow, the number of arrows which can be fired consecutively depends on the mental strength loaded into it.

This is an archery martial art, huh.

I don’t have any archery Skills.......

That’s why, I won’t have the chance to use this for now.

——

?Martial Arts : Consecutive Attacks?: Grappling martial art, separate strikes with 1.5 times the usual attack power will be carried out.

This is a grappling martial art huh. It seems to be quite strong.

However, I can’t fight hand-to-hand if I don’t get equipment for guarding my fists.

Let’s visit the weapon shop later. My dagger also broke, after all.

——

?Martial Arts : Sharpness?Sword?: One-handed sword martial art, attack with two times the usual attack power will be carried out.

A one-handed sword martial art, huh. I have a one-handed sword Skill, but it’s the lowest ranked one.

Because of that there isn’t really a time for it to shine.

Fumu, I’ve roughly appraised the Skills. There seems to be a quite a lot of usable Skills.

With this, won’t I be able to fight more freely?

Let’s focus on increasing the proficiency level for the Skills I have now for the time being.

Especially the three Skills I had stolen from the Orc?King, since they have unusual abilities. Seems like they’ll become amazing if I raise their proficiency level.

Yosh, Skill identification, completed!

Let’s visit the weapon shop and research ?Characteristic Magic?Space-time?.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please treat me well.
