From RE0, Sato Kazuma decided to cheat on food and drink

"Kazuma, what are you doing here?"

Just then, Aqua hopped over to Kazuma Sato and asked him a question.

"I... I'm chatting with Lady Crusch."

Kazuma Sato replied.

"Are you chatting? I just saw you almost get knocked away by Crusch. I thought you stole her panties too."

"Pants? Stolen?"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Kazuma Sato grabbed Aqua by the neck and pulled her aside, then turned to look at Crusch with a smile.

"Then, Lady Crusch, I need to talk to this useless goddess about something important first."

"Hmm, what a scumbag."

Crusch smiled and nodded, watching Sato Kazuma strangle Aqua, which further confirmed that Felix was serious.

When you meet someone you are close to or someone you should be close to, you should use this nickname and greeting.

"Lady Crusch, thank you so much for your hard work this time!"

Just then, McCrotov, who had also been invited, raised his glass and slowly walked up to Crusch, speaking in a very respectful tone.

Crusch looked at the other person. Mycroft was the most respected person in the Sages' Guild and a senior worthy of her respect.

If that's the case.....

"Old Hu Zi Dengqing, you've all worked hard these past few days!"

Crusch wore a polite smile and tapped Mycroft on the shoulder.

It seems like something made—

It sounded like bones breaking.

This year may be the most disastrous year for McCrotov.

On the other side, Kazuma Sato had already pulled Aqua aside.

"Why are you being so serious!"

"It's all because of you, you useless goddess! You speak so recklessly! Come and heal me! My shoulders and face hurt so much! Not to mention that berserk loli, Crusch is also an incredibly slow-witted person! Her mind seems to be just as sharp as yours."

Kazuma Sato shook his head.

Previously, during the royal selection conference, Crusch directly used the term "banquet".

In a sense, she and Aqua are the same kind of people!!!

How could I have overlooked this point before?

And that damn Felix!

How awful!

"Hmph, serves you right for bullying me just now. If you beg me properly, this goddess might consider healing you~"

Aqua raised her head, crossed her arms, and said proudly, "Wait for Sato and Maki."

"Betty, come over here, come help me!"

Kazuma Sato completely ignored Aqua and waved to Beatrice, who was talking to Roswaal in the distance.

"Kazuma, let me treat you!"

Aqua's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. She didn't want to be someone who could be replaced. She had previously begged Sato Kazuma not to learn healing skills.

"Really, really, I'll treat you! You don't need Betty! I can do anything!"

Aqua even grabbed Sato Kazuma's hand in a hurry.

"Humph!"

However, Kazuma Sato completely ignored Aqua and continued waving at Beatrice.

"You idiot, Kazuma, what are you doing here looking for Betty?"

Beatrice pouted slightly and walked up to Kazuma Sato.

"Oh Betty, please help me heal, I just, ouch, I just tripped and fell."

"Would Betty believe that idiot and the truth? They must have gotten beaten up!"

Beatrice complained as she raised her small, chubby hand, preparing to cast a healing spell on Kazuma Sato.

But at that moment, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"You idiot Kazuma! Are you kidding Betty?! Where are you hurt?"

"My shoulder feels like it's dislocated! And my face hurts so much just now! Huh? That's strange? Why doesn't it hurt anymore?"

Kazuma Sato looked down at his body in disbelief; the pain he had felt earlier had completely disappeared.

what's the situation.

"You useless goddess, it's you!"

Kazuma Sato turned to look at Aqua, thinking that Aqua didn't want Beatrice to replace her, so he quickly cast a healing spell.

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about?"

Aqua looked at Kazuma Sato with a completely bewildered expression.

She didn't use any skills.

"what's the situation?"

"Wait, you idiot Kazuma, what's wrong with your mana...?"

Beatrice looked at Kazuma Sato with a serious expression, and placed her hand on his chest.

“Betty can feel that your mana reserves are recovering rapidly… much faster than before!”

"what?"

Kazuma Sato was completely baffled.

Don't you feel anything special?

"A special feeling..."

Kazuma Sato carefully felt his own body.

It seemed that some inexplicable power was indeed flowing into his body.

And the source is... Aqua?

Kazuma Sato reached out his hand to Aqua based on his intuition, and that feeling became even stronger, as if he had unknowingly used a certain skill.

The thought of stopping crossed his mind, and the feeling ceased.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Kazuma Sato felt as if he had unlocked a new skill.

Could it be——

Is it the power of lust?

Beatrice stared intently at Kazuma Sato, sensing the witch factor surging within him.

Is this the effect of the power of lust?

A look of surprise appeared on Kazuma Sato's face.

I've finally gained power?!

Wouldn't that mean my strength would experience a qualitative leap?

"Betty originally thought that some special opportunity was needed to activate the witch factor in her body and thus unleash her powers. Idiot, Kazuma, what just happened to you?"

"I, I don't know."

Kazuma Sato immediately pretended that he knew nothing.

Perhaps it was because she had just suffered double torment from Felt and Crusch, and the witch factor considered her life to be in danger.

"It seems that my powers are derived from drawing life force and mana from other people."

Kazuma Sato looked at his hands.

Beatrice previously stated that power is related to human desires.

Kazuma Sato had always been resentful that he couldn't become a great mage. In this world, he was repeatedly persecuted and seriously injured by his teammates. He had thought countless times that he wanted to teach these guys around him a lesson.

The ability to drain his teammates' life force and mana... seems to match his desires.

He then turned to look at Aqua beside him; he had just felt the power surging into his body originate from her.

"Useless goddess, don't you feel anything?"

"Huh? What's wrong? I don't feel anything at all!"

Aqua, completely bewildered, said—the next second, a look of horror suddenly appeared on her face.

"What's wrong, you useless goddess?!"

Sato Kazuma asked with some concern.

"If that's the case, does that mean Kazuma won't need my healing spells anymore?! Kazuma! Don't use this skill anymore, please don't use it!!!"

"...Why can't my power shut you up?"

Beatrice, standing to the side, looked at Aqua with some shock.

As Kazuma Sato's contracted spirit, she could clearly sense the surge of mana within Kazuma Sato's body.

At that level, most people would probably faint within seconds due to mana depletion.

And Aqua, she's completely unharmed?

Chapter 108: Sweet Potato Superman, Ram reports for duty!

"Well, while it can't turn a young girl into a mature woman, this power is still pretty good, isn't it?"

Kazuma Sato said to Beatrice with a smile.

"Betty knows that you're an idiot and you can't say anything useful."

Beatrice sighed, like a worried parent.

"How far can this power of mine go? It needs a name too, to put it simply, let's call it Life Absorption!"

Sato Kazuma was a little curious and wondered who he should test now.

He wanted to know what effects the power would have on others besides himself, and what the rate at which mana was extracted was.

Beatrice definitely can't do it, because the mana inside Beatrice's body is still equivalent to her own.

As for Aqua, she's not a relevant reference at all.

I've been trying to draw blood for ages, but Aqua hasn't reacted at all.

Now there's only one user.

"Roswaal, come here for a second!"

Roswaal's mana reserves should be very high, and this guy initially orchestrated all sorts of schemes and plots, even harming himself several times.

Although he seemed very cooperative before, he really needed to be taught a lesson because of what Roswaal had done.

"Lord Kazuma, is there something you need?"

Roswaal walked up to Kazuma Sato, trying to control his manner of speaking.

Some of them are too difficult.

As Roswaal walked up to him, Kazuma Sato raised his hand:

"Life Drain!"

Kazuma Sato instantly activated his powers, and the next moment, he felt a large amount of mana surge into his body.

Roswaal's face first showed a look of confusion, but the next second, he realized that the mana in his body was gradually being depleted.
