Chapter 38 Mimi's Chronicles: Fake Goddess And Divine Artifacts II
"...Haah~ I\'m sorry, I only believe in one god." Pouting, Noelle avoided the little lass\' eyes and softly admitted. She was admitting defeat not only because she was submitting...
But because she wanted the so called goddess\' help, IF, she truly was a goddess. Even if she was not, she was definitely strong to be this arrogant and rude.
"Grrr... Am not telling you to pray to me dumbass, oops, there\'s a swamp ahead, let\'s turn left... All I was saying was, believe in me and I\'ll be able to give you the power to kill this thing." Realising that Noelle was not fighting back, the lass warned her then softly explained herself.
Noelle didn\'t hesitate to change directions and follow the little lass without a second thought. Life and death experience can make people best friends or worst enemies, it seems to be the former between these two.
"...How so? And it\'s I am." She quietly asked as she couldn\'t help but look back. The trees were getting thinner and the space was enlarging, that snake was going to catch up soon.
She also did not forget forget correct the grammar of the so called goddess\', naturally at that. And the other party seemed to be holding back their wrath.
"...Just trust in me, and you better do so until the end or I can kill you with a snap of my fingers." The lass said as she rudely drank the golden liquid from the small bottle, resulting in a burst of golden sprites swimming around her body.
The sprites were in the thousands and as small as a grain of sand. They floated up and began sorounding the lass, they made her look ethereal and heavenly, more like a god.
Noelle couldn\'t help but open her delicate mouth slightly wide at this scene. She couldn\'t believe her eyes, maybe... just maybe, this lass was a real god?
After all, not just anyone can dare claim to be an enemy of the strongest being within this region, whilst being a mere mortal. Wait, then wouldn\'t that make this lass amongst the top five?
Of course, to Noelle, her god was amongst them. To her, it was Enigma, the wyvern god, nature goddess, the beast king, and now, possibly even this lass amongst the top five.
Sge didn\'t know who was stronger than who, but she still believed Enigma was first. Her thoughts were biased, and she knew that, but that was what she believed in.
"Fine, it\'s not like I have a choice anyways, been running together for a month now." A moment later, she looked away and pouted, admitting defeat. The little lass was really a goddess, but what was the thing she just drank
Some sort of ailment that recovered her powers? Or something that made her godly for a brief period of time? Maybe that\'s why the wyvern god was hunting her.
Noelle had her own thoughts, and she didn\'t genuinely believe them. She only thought just for the sake of entertaining the myriad possibilities.
"Good. Now gimme your sword and just accept my blessing." The little lass hurriedly said as she grabbed Noelle\'s sword and directed half the golden sprites to enter the latter\'s body.
"Blessing? Another blessing? C-Can a mortal really carry so many blessings?" Noelle\'s steps faltered as she saw the golden sprites enter her body, not sure of her decision.
Sure, she needed power, a lot of it, but she wasn\'t that desperate to try and kill herself just to get power. What use will it be by then? Will a dead body, no, an evaporated body use that power? If so, how?
"Don\'t stress it, it\'s niether a weak nor a strong blessing, so don\'t worry your ass too much." The little lass added as she directed the other half of the golden sprites into the sword.
"What a stingy guy, he didn\'t give you a divine weapon? I guess I\'m way better than him at being your god." The lass chuckled to herself as she added lightly.
The little lass was of course Mimi. After being trashed and thrashed around, dying once, she managed to escape from the wyvern god\'s chase. But that guy was unwilling to give up at all.
He was still searching for her even now. Because of pressure, she found a group of elves in hiding, she decided to hide with them and foster them to create her own army.
If she couldn\'t do it herself, she would bombard him with numbers. But after closely accumulating to two thousand people, who now believed in her as a goddess, within two months, she only had 80 points, which was miniscule.
Combining with her recent savings, it was still below 200 faith points. If she wanted to create an army that could give him trouble, she had to create powerful believers.
But nobody had enough potential within her followers, which was a pity. The situation only made her more angry at everything.
Until she met someone who truly had high talents hidden in her. After meeting up and striking a deal, she was going to give her followers to them and the person would introduce her to their God.
After the deal, that person wanted to go and see the elves and demihumans, but on their way, they were attacked by this large snake and have been on the run since then.
The thing she drank was concentrated faith points, 10 000 faith points, but forcefully absorbing them like this would only give her a thousand, which was why she had been reluctant to use it all of this while.
But now was different, she was going to foster this little girl into a powerful god slayer, who would kill that wretched bastard. To show her determination, she even gave Noelle her exclusive subsidiary skill, [Dragon Slayer].
With this, in just less than five years, she was confident she could turn the lass into a Deity, if not a Half Deity. By then, the wyvern bastard was up for a beating of his lifetime.
"Ah~ this feeling." Noelle couldn\'t help but open her eyes wide at the familiar feeling of a blessing. Blessings were a very strong boosts to mortals, very helpful even.
For example, let\'s go into mortal details for a moment, pardon the waste of time. Or not, this is crucial information, so be thankful.
For starters, mortals averagely have twelve stats, unless you\'re crippled or have unique diagnosis. The twelve stats are strength, agility, dexterity, reflex, vitality, endurance, constitution, wisdom, intelligence, mystery, will and comprehension.
Unfortunately there was no system to datarize their existence, so all this information was obtained through the sweats and effort of this world\'s ancestors.
Every commoner had stats below 100 kg Strength or Speed of 1-2 meters per second. It must be clear that even athletic people only have 200 kg or 10 meters per second within their stats.
Once one becomes an apprentice combatant, their three main attributes, composed of their race, class and potential, will be at average of hundreds kilograms to ten meters per second, while their other remaining stats, known as sub attributes will stay the same, with their own calculation factors.
The higher the rank of one is, the higher the stats will become, both main and sub. And to start off, the increase of stats isn\'t constant per rank, the higher the rank, the higher the stat increase.
Having Planetary or Galactic Strength was not that much of a dream. And Speed of sound? This was a give even for mere mortals, let alone the deities/gods.
Ordinary training can increase stats as well. As well as fortunate encounters could help increase your stats, or you could rely on breakthroughs simply.
Now let\'s talk about Noelle. Noelle being an elf and a swordsman, had Strength, Agility and Comprehension as her main-stats, while the other as her sub-stats.
Elves had innate high Intelligence and Agility, which gave her a nice boost to being a swordsman. But either than that, talent wise and overall strength wise, she was just your above average combatant.
Fortunately things changed with Enigma\'s appearance, his blessing managed to increase all her stats, main and sub by 50% overall. That was quite a lot.
And because of that, with the increase of breakthroughs in her stats, the current her, with initial great master strength could fight veteran great masters and maybe Initial grandmasters to a standstill.
Her originally high mana, was more than three times higher than other great masters.
But now, she had another blessing. And this time, only her Strength and Agility only increased, by a good ol\' 30% each!!
Overall strength, she could definitely fight with a newly promoted Grandmasters to a stand still even with the realm suppression. As for her mana, it was almost still the same.
Unfortunately for her, increasing rank had to do with magicules. To become a grand master, she had to absorb magicules which were two times greater than other experts of her league.
