You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

Page 87

The lush, dark green forests and ground have suffered epic destruction; the green that once represented them has disappeared from the lord's map, replaced by black and yellow sand.

The earth was also cut open, revealing several unfathomable cracks, like a gaping abyss that inspires awe.

The nearby villagers rushed to the Earl's mansion in fear for help, only to be told that the lord was having a "friendly sparring match" with someone else.

Can a friendly exchange cause such great damage?

Although the people were puzzled, when they heard that the matter was related to the lord, they gave up their curiosity and obediently went back to prepare for refuge.

Until evening.

The violent tremors gradually subsided.

Suoh Takeru has used up all 5 of his magic crystals, and Roswaal has also run out of magic power.

To be honest, men are harder to deal with than women, especially strong men. Their relentless attacks are like an endless demand, and he almost couldn't handle them.

"As expected of the chief court mage, his strength is truly admirable!"

"Wu is also very—impressive—oh, I thought I could easily defeat him, but I didn't expect—even after using all my strength—we're still evenly matched."

One voice was calm, the other strange; two voices came from the border.

It is Suo Takeshi and Roswaal.

The two emerged from the Monster Forest covered in dust and grime, their clothes tattered and worn beyond repair.

Even though he was dressed in tattered clothes, Roswaal still maintained the demeanor and etiquette of a nobleman. It was just that his occasional clownish behavior was both puzzling and disgusting.

Suoh Takeru was in an even worse state. Not only was his body tattered and torn, but even the "Takeru" resistance cloak that he had paid a lot of money to customize had been burned away and was beyond repair!

Distressed!

The two returned to the Earl's mansion and saw Ram waiting there.

"Lord Roswaal!"

When Ram saw Roswaal emerge from the Monster Forest, completely covered in black and tattered beyond recognition, she frowned and rushed over anxiously to check on his condition, asking with concern:

"Are you alright, Lord Roswaal?"

"It's okay, Ram doesn't need to worry about me too much."

Roswaal replied calmly, "I wonder if Ram has prepared hot water?"

Ram bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Roswaal, the hot water is ready."

"Then—Wu, how about we go take a bath together?"

"Alright."

Roswaal extended an invitation to Suoh Takeshi, and Suoh Takeshi accepted.

The two then arrived at the large bathhouse, led by Ram.

During this time, they encountered Emilia and Subaru Natsuki, who came to offer their concern when they saw that the two were dirty, but after a few words, they were all sent away.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The bathhouse at the Earl's mansion was naturally very large, and the two of them soaked in the pool after washing themselves.

The warm pool water envelops the body, instantly relieving most of the day's fatigue.

Suoh Takeshi, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, heard Roswaal calling his name.

"Wu, about that thing I told you..."

"Let me think about it some more."

Before he could finish speaking, Suoh Takeshi gave an ambiguous and evasive answer.

"Would you like to think about it some more...?"

Sensing the perfunctory tone in Suoh Takeshi's words, Roswaal raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

The two chatted for a while longer before returning to their respective rooms without disturbing anyone else.

The night was silent.

Suoh Takeshi sat alone on the edge of the bed.

"【The Blessing of the Magician (Roswaal L. Mezas)】?"

He held the adventurer's card in one hand, examining it closely, while casting magic with the other.

It's like a child getting a new toy and playing with it with great enthusiasm, feeling a sense of exhilaration that they can never get enough of.

It must be said that the [Magician's Blessing] has a tremendous impact on the magical realm!

He can easily perform some low-level spells, while he is a little hesitant with high-level spells, but he can master them after a short period of practice.

Unlike the [Sword Saint] skill, which only stimulates a person's potential in swordsmanship, the [Magician's Blessing] skill directly and forcibly enhances everything a person possesses in the realm of magic!

【Magician's Blessing】: Allows the use of 6 types of magic of all attributes, enabling all fields, including magic power, power, speed, etc., to reach their peak!

powerful!

Very strong!

Fortunately, Roswaal held back at the beginning, otherwise Suoh Takeshi would have been defeated instantly, and there would have been no chance to imitate such a powerful blessing.

However, such powerful protection has a major drawback for Suoh Takeshi!

That is, he cannot take the blessing out of this world!

Blessing is a gift from the world, proof that one is loved by the world.

After Suoh Takeru travels to other worlds, he is no longer in the Re:Zero world, so of course he can no longer use the blessing.

What exactly is protection?

In Suoh Takeshi's eyes, it's just a plugin!

Each person with protection has a unique activation code. By connecting to a terminal called "World" and entering the activation code, they can load and use various plugins.

Suoh Takeshi simulated this activation code through "analysis and imitation," and after loading, he could also use the protection activated by this activation code!

As for why Natsuki Subaru's "Return by Death" ability cannot be imitated.

It remains to be seen what will happen this week regarding defense.

Because he hadn't analyzed or imitated Subaru Natsuki's style, nor did he want to experiment with it.

But Suoh Takeshi felt that it might not just require an activation code, but something else entirely.

For example, personal proof such as soul consciousness or existence power can be used as a mark of authenticity to activate exclusive privileges (powers).

Because these things are beyond the reach of his current "analysis and imitation".

But there's no need to overthink it.

If we want to experiment, the powers of other Archbishops of Sin are much easier to imitate than Subaru Natsuki's "Return by Death," so there's no rush.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep."

Put away the adventurer card and dispel the magic in your hands.

Suoh Takeshi slowly fell asleep.

On March 21st, I shared a highly recommended post from the Joy Channel and a post recommended by experts.

You didn't expect it, did you? I've been featured again!

This is the sentence I most wanted to say when I was writing this book.

It's not just about using memes; it's also about my aspirations.

I can't believe they actually did it!

So I'm starting a new chapter to share my joy with everyone.

Here, I would like to thank all the readers for voting, adding to favorites, and giving rewards!
