Chapter 725 – 725. Review
“!!!!!”
Lena in Ga-in’s body looks at me with her eyes wide open and seems to be telling me to let her go.
“Invalidate.”
“Oh!”
“I was surprised! I was scared!”
Ga-in regaining her own body, Lena raising her body from her sofa and shouting in protest.
I put one of my fingers to her mouth and spoke softly.
“Keep your mouth shut from now on. I have something to think about. Don’t disturb me.”
Then the two women quietly close their mouths.
Lena sat down on the sofa again, and Ga-in finally started putting her clothes on.
Ruler. I ordered the two women to be quiet.
Now I have to think. This plan. This method.
Is it actually possible? Are there any loopholes in the logic? What do you need? What are the weaknesses?
First… I think it’s possible.
No, it is not possible. No matter how you use it, it’s definitely a good skill, right?
Even though they say they go around with status recovery as passive, there’s no way they wouldn’t turn on reflection.
Reflection is the only defense that can protect you from a single skill
CC skills such as sleep, stun, electric shock, charm, and silence, attack skills such as lightning, and numerous effect skills such as memory reading.
No one would welcome being exposed to such things with their bare body.
A world where reflection is not turned on. That doesn’t make sense.
But why hasn’t anyone used marionettes like this?
Let’s think about it. Why shouldn’t you do this? Why has it never happened?
That’s probably because I travel alone and don’t expose myself.
That’s probably the biggest reason. Anyway, marionette is a skill that can be used only when you are aware of your opponent.
Moreover, the penalty for marionettes is too large.
It’s huge. The distance you can use it if you master it is 20 meters. Moreover, there should not be any obstacles in the middle.
Because of this, it is bound to be rare in lower tiers.
Even if you reach tier 15, you need to increase the skill radius to 9.
The distance of 20 meters may be extended to 110 meters, but even so, it is difficult to use it skillfully.
It can be seen as a skill with quite limitations.
Above all, the biggest thing is that the caster’s body becomes defenseless.
It’s not a problem even if there is someone who wants to protect you, and it’s a problem even if there isn’t one, right?
Can you trust the person who protects you? Completely? Really?
Blood relatives? Married couple? That much is believable. Unless… I can’t use it because I’m anxious.
Moreover, the higher the tier, the more difficult it will be to use.
No matter how many subordinates there are around you, can you completely trust them?
Isn’t it just waiting for you to use the marionette and then stab you in the back?
You’ll have that question. So it’s impossible.
A person who travels alone won’t be able to use this method in the first place.
For them, marionette is a skill that must be successful, not a skill that is deliberately reflected.
As soon as you do that, your death is confirmed.
Okay. That’s big. I think that’s why I didn’t even think about intentionally failing in this way.
Marionette is a skill that must be successful.
There is a risk that if you fail, you will be in great danger, right?
Moreover, even if it succeeds, it is a problem.
What if someone who is targeting you is watching?
There must be a lot of people like me in the world. Of course, there are probably only a few who have survived to this day.
Anyway, I think marionettes didn’t get that much attention because of that problem.
However… If it goes the way I thought, this is not a risk.
Confinement that traps the stronger in the body of the weaker.
The world is ruined, you walk the crossroads of life and death, you lose the body you have grown up in, and you are trapped in someone else’s body and completely incapacitated.
Do you think so… Suddenly, I got scared too.
What if Lena colludes with Ga-in and uses a marionette on me right now?
Ah. That would be impossible. Ga-in can’t control me when I enter Lena’s body?
Ugh. I was fed up. Sweat is beading down my spine.
Anyway… Good. That’s good.
So how can we use this?
Powell, Jason, Rachel.
Anyway, we just need to catch these three people. That will do…
There is no point in me learning marionette.
This is a way to trap the strong in the body of the weak, right? What I write means nothing. No need to think.
In the end, Lena, who learned marionette, has to get closer to them.
Does it work?
No matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible?
There are too many humans around Powell and Jason.
What tier is Lena now? Is it Tier 21? I think she’ll be like that.
Then… Let’s see… The calculations… At 20 meters… Because the skill radius increase is 15… 260 meters?
260 meters without obstacles. It’s not easy.
I don’t know if Powell or Jason are out on their own, but I’ve never seen that bastard Powell outside.
Although Jason travels alone… That too is a problem.
It won’t make you very visible to detection. And the same goes for Rachel.
There is no way to get inside 260 meters without being detected by them.
Ah… Seal. What if I erase the detection with a seal, and it sticks?
But does the seal scroll? Ah. No way. Oh, fuck. It’s okay.
Should Lena learn the seal herself? First, it seems like that’s the only way.
Or not… Should I use mediation on Lena?
A person that Jason or Rachel cannot kill without permission.
What if you make him that kind of person and make him approach you from afar?
But that isn’t easy either. Because I don’t know which two people will kill and which they won’t.
No matter how strong Lena is, she is no match for Jason or Rachel.
Besides, it won’t be easy to escape.
If I’m not careful, I could lose Lena for nothing. That… It’s not a very good situation.
Ahhh. I got a damn good trap, but I can’t let my prey step on it.
Ha… Is there any better way? A person that neither Jason nor Rachel can kill without permission.
A person who will greet you without suspicion even if you approach close.
Should I change my appearance to Jason for Rachel? Are you going to change Jason to Rachel?
But it is also quite dangerous.
If you know each other well, you’ll know right away that it’s fake.
Moreover, they may have tracked each other or something.
Then I’ll find out it’s fake before I even get close to it.
Pretending to be a subordinate and approaching?
That would be impossible for Jason. Because the command system there seems to work for that African guy.
For Rachel?
But that’s also funny. Does that mean her subordinate knows where Rachel is and can go find her?
Anyone who sees it will be suspicious.
“Hey… Master?”
“Why?”
I guess my voice sounded a little angry because my thoughts were interrupted. Lena notices me quite a bit.
“Is there anything else you would like me to do?”
“Ah…”
I’ve been like this for too long.
“Do what you need to do. Catching those guys isn’t something you want to do right now. And… Stop acting dirty and start mastering your skills. Lena, don’t learn telekinesis, but learn silence and sealing. As soon as possible.”
“Silence and sealing?”
“Uh, Gain, he needs some training too. But you’re the most urgent. Learn as quickly as possible. Anyway, I’m going.”
I was immediately transported to Sakhalin.
Even if you think about it first, you have to master the skill while doing it. Time is gold.
She continues her thoughts as she uses Flame Zone again. How far did you go?
Ah. Okay. How does it stick? That’s the problem.
It’s hard to pretend to be someone you know.
In the end, there is no choice but to seal detection, use invisibility, and then get close.
That is the most likely. You can use it secretly.
First, catch Jason or Rachel first.
It’s a pity that I can’t go and do it right away, but what can I do?
You won’t be able to catch those who are as good as grandmasters that easily.
Ah… But you left out the most important thing.
Should I ask this question in Q&A? Is there a way to stop the marionette?
There might be one. All you have to do is use the sealing skill on the marionette.
Is there anything else besides that? It definitely seems like there is.
Right now, I’m not sure if they’ve posted a question in Q&A, so I don’t think I can ask it right now.
Once I master the fire zone, I will have to check by deleting the skill and use it.
Because it’s not urgent right now.
Good. So, is it all sorted out for now?
Ah… Would Jason or Rachel have any skills that could be used if they entered Lena’s body?
If Lena is silent anyway, does she have skills that she can’t use at all?
If you say it’s a hidden skill, the only thing you can do is lift the restriction and mark it, right?
I didn’t even learn passive anger. Let’s see… What skills did you have?
Invisibility, flight, reflection, detection, shield, damage reduction, storage, charm, marionette, forbidden… Prohibited?
Was Forbidden a skill that prevented movement? Ah. Right. I think so.
It was a fucking useless skill. But what changes if you lift the restrictions? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this.
I’ll have to ask Lena.
I was immediately transported to Tokyo. When I appear again, the two women who were sitting quietly using their skills look at me with puzzled expressions.
“Lena. Did anything change after you learned how to lift the restrictions on banned skills?”
“Forbidden? There was none.”
“Is there anything other than making it impossible to move?”
“Yes.”
“What? I understand.”
Teleport back to Sakhalin. All I had to do was check it. There’s no need to stay, right?
Anyway, the ban is still trashed. I think this is for combination rather than the effect of the skill itself.
Should I call it a word extraction skill? That’s what it feels like. Anyway. Then it became a ban.
Also, what are Lena’s skills? Area skill nullification, enemy, tracking, blink, teleportation, gate, unlock, party tree.
Hmm. There is none. If I come into Lena’s body, it will be over. Just right. It couldn’t be better than this.
Rather, it would be better to use the self-ban and then use the marionette.
Then there would be no need to hold it as a poltergeist.
Ah… Isn’t this also something like a seal? If you cast it on yourself, will you be free when caught by a movement-impairing skill?
Are there any skills that impede movement? Hmm… Petrification? That’s a skill that can only be used by touching it.
It’s trash, so that’s enough.
Should fainting or sleeping be considered an obstruction to movement? This is a bit ambiguous.
Those skills don’t seem to hinder movement, so that’s okay.
Ah. I couldn’t move when using things like Blizzard, Meteor, or Thunderstorm without removing the restriction.
Should that also be considered an obstruction to movement?
Come to think of it, Heaven’s Gate is also blocked from moving. Hmm… But there’s no way to check this, right?
Should I ask this later through Q&A? I don’t know if you can answer this.
Anyway… Done. In the end, Lena needs to learn her seal. That’s the surest way.
It’s better to go secretly and try it than to disguise yourself just to try it a little faster.
Lena doesn’t have the stamina of a superhuman yet, so it takes four days to learn one of her skills. She takes two at the earliest
Under. Should I wait again? Really… My life is a series of waiting. Ugh.
She knew that Marionette Special Attack was possible anyway, so that was enough for her.
Hmm… Should Ga-in learn marionette too? You’re a woman you can learn right away, right?
Teleport back to Tokyo.
“Master. Actually, you want to do it with me, right? That’s why you keep coming, right?”
Lena gets up from the sofa and approaches me, looking at me as if tempting me.
“Ah, stop talking nonsense. Gain?”
“Yes?”
“What are your skills now? No, what tier are you now?”
“Tier 14…”
“Charm, flight, reflection, invisibility, shield, blink, dispel, detect, damage reduction, unlock, enemy. That’s all I know. What else did I learn?”
“I learned tracking, teleportation, and gates. I also learned lifting restrictions and marking.”
I left it to Lena, and her specs are almost similar to hers. In a way, she can be seen as a mini Lena. Spare Lena? To that extent?
“Then, if you become a Gate Master this time, learn marionette.”
“Huh? Really!?”
Ga-in, whom I strangely like. Lena’s eyebrows furrowed slightly after hearing what I said.
Ah. Is it because I’ve been tormented a lot by marionettes? Are you afraid that you might get hurt now?
“Anyway, learn it. You learn marionettes and learn silence and seals.”
If Lena fails or dies, she will have to play that role… It would be better to take a picture in advance.
If the timing is right, you can use Gain first.
In places where it would be dangerous or wasteful to just deploy Lena, she can be used instead.
Those two… Of course, I have feelings for you. Although I use it sparingly, I can use it when I need to use it boldly.
That’s the limit of those two. Of course… I don’t want to lose them. Because they are competent.
Anyway, it’s done. Now that’s done, let’s get skilled again.
There isn’t much left now, right? If you do just a little more, you can escape this damn fire skill.
