“Charge?”
“Yes. Have you heard of it?”
After telling the girls about the skills I received, I ask about one I don’t know what it’s for. But they all shake their heads.
“So no one knows about it. What does it charge… I don’t have appliances or anything that uses electrical energy.”
“Ah, darling. What does that Forbidden Magic let you use?”
“Ah, this? Wait…”
I picture it in my head, but no spell names appear. But I can tell it lets me use two kinds of power.
“…Here we go.”
Static electricity appears on my left hand, and a lump of ice on my right.
“Darling, is that lightning and ice magic!?”
“Apparently, but they don’t have specific spell names. It looks like I can adjust their power, size, and direction with my mind.”
“Sounds like a pretty flexible skill.”
“So are you supposed to use Charge with it?”
“Hm… I’m picturing it, but it doesn’t seem like that’s it.”
“Is that your Intuition talking?”
“Yes, Intuition.”
“Then it must be right. However, since Charge does not seem to be a skill fit for combat, you should consider it later.”
“…Yes. Then let’s go spawn a powered up one. Just one last push, everyone!”
““““Yes!””””
‘Goh!!’
I lure more goblins out, and more than ten minutes later, a hundred more goblins are down. Smoke comes out, and five monsters appear.

And two more of these.
“Ooh!?”
There were supposed to be just two healer goblins, but two other kinds appeared, and it’s two of each. So priest goblins are superior versions of healer goblins, and black knight goblins of knight goblins?
These skills look pretty juicy. And the twenty percent decrease really hit their stats hard.
There are over a hundred goblins gathering behind them, but… They all have a ten percent debuff, making them even weaker than usual. I can’t see them putting up much of a fight.
“Enki, let’s go!”
‘Goh!!’
The weaklings fall like an avalanche, but this group is used to it. Enki takes the first shot.
‘Brrr…!’
‘Gegyah!?’
‘Gyagya!’
The ground shakes, the pawns fall, and the rare monster looks panicked.
Aurora Magic and Dusk Magic can be trouble even at level one. I need to crush them before they can fire lasers.
“Purple Lightning Arrow. Stack Attack.”
Stack Attack multiplies the arrows.
With Dexterity in the four digits, it’s possible to fire two, but since Command puts me over seven thousand, I could do three if I wanted to. But that seems to be the limit.
But with the boost of this skill, I can have four with Purple Lightning Arrow.
“Go.”
Bang!
There’s an explosive sound, and the bodies of the four monsters accompanying the rare monster are flung away.

Now I’ve done it. They’ve been promoted to rare, so their experience has gone up too. That means taking them down at the same time made my level shoot up.
“The powered up one is in the line of fire too. Should I have shot it with the others?”
‘Gogo?’
“No, just keep taking out the small fry.”
‘Goh!’
Enki starts swinging its two-handed shield all around, squashing the goblins that are getting back up. I use Air Walk to go over them and attack the main target.
‘Gegyagya!’
“It’s a powered up one, so it’d be a waste to not face it directly!”
I let my strength flick away the sword its swinging.
It has Swordsmanship Lv5, but it doesn’t even have Physical Strengthening. Not to mention that it’s in a weakened state. It’s not going to be a threat to me with that technique alone. I should test something new.
I throw one of my swords in the air, and unleash my boost skills while it’s distracted.
“Great Strength IV, Super Strength IV, Asura II, Adamantine Strength II, Fast Run IV, Swift IV, Mental Haste.”
‘Gigih!?’
It’s like the world stopped.
“…Bladeless Sword.”
Clink!
After a blank second, I’m behind the Commander Goblin, catching my sword.
“Ahh…”
“Gih…?”
From its point of view, it must seem like I just disappeared.
It rushes to turn around after hearing my breath, but it’s the last thing it does. Its barely stuck together body turns into a pile of parts after that rapid movement.
Its body is slashed to pieces, blood flies, and it turns into smoke.
