Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

Chapter 627: Giran's 1st trial (3)

Shea had switched out her equipment to emphasize Agility.

That happened for 1 attempt a day, with the other attempts using Mana equipment to gain Skill Experience instead.

Rosalina and Sophie also came closer to use their buffs.

"Alright, let's go all out from the very start. Sophie, you use your Skills too."

"Understood."

(Sophie's Skill Levels are also going up, it's completely different than in the Spirit Paradise.)

Sophie had also been working to get her Skill Levels up.

Their Mana would not regenerate in the divine realm, but Allen was always using Heaven's Blessings that also recovered her Mana, letting her use Skills constantly.

Unlike Allen who was in Hell Mode, Sophie in Extra Mode gained Levels much faster.

Once Shea's equipment was in order, Sophie used [Spirit God's Blessing].

(Her Agility went up by 30000 since we left, but we're not done yet!)

Allen checked how much Shea's training had helped her.

"Rosalina, use Skills that will raise Shea's Agility too."

"Only those that raise Agility? Got it."

Rosalina knew how to cast various buffs, but those applicable here were the Divine Technique [Soaring Dance] and the Skill [True March], as well as the former Extra Skill [Mermaid Singer].

Rosalina began dancing and singing around the Sanctuary, making it feel like an underwater paradise.

(Nice, so this is the power of someone who maxed out their buffs. Let's use a Golden Egg too.)

Many buffs Shea did not have before were applied on her.

She had also activated Full Beast Mode, turning her into a 4 legged beast.

"Graaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!"

Shea stood up on her hind legs and roared so loudly everyone felt a gust of wind.

"It seems everything is ready now. Go, Shea."

"Got it!"

Shea entered the inner area of the platform that Giran called his Sanctuary.

Thanks to all the training Shea did while Allen, Rosalina, and Sophie were away, she gained far more Agility than she had before.

The Sanctuary on the circular platform had a diameter of around 900 meters.

There were 300 meters between Shea and Giran, but they could only see each other.

Shea had grown to measure 3 meters, but Giran was 100 meters long and dwarfed her even while being far away.

[Shea's body changes]

-Normal: Bipedal, 160cm

-Beast King Mode: Bipedal, 220cm, sharper fangs and claws

-Full Beast Mode: Quadrupedal, 300cm, even sharper fangs and claws

* Bek and Zew became even bigger

'Let's see what you can really do then. Come!!'

Giran's words signaled the start of the attempt.

Shea's sharp claws dug into the white stone of the Sanctuary and she dashed forward.

She ran with an overwhelming speed she never had before.

In the blink of an eye she was in front of Giran.

(It's like a blink ability. I guess that's how fast you get with enough Agility. I can hardly follow her with my eyes.)

That was the effect 260000 Agility had, making a stark difference from before.

But Giran moved swiftly despite his 100 meter long body, moving back on the small Sanctuary.

It was hard to imagine just how high Giran's Agility had to be to move like that.

They were not armed for Giran's 1st trial, but their movements still caused powerful shockwaves.

Every time Giran and shea kicked off the ground, there were bright flashes of light and sounds like metal clashing.

Shea and Giran were not touching each other though, as Giran simply ran away.

They were simply chasing each other, but there was no real combat.

[Giran's 1st trial]

-Conditions to complete: Shea must strike Giran once

-Reward: Beast God Giran's Divine Artifact

"Luvanka, make sure we don't get blown away."

'Understood… It's an impressive fight. Everyone, hold onto me.'

Luvanka moved his large 30 meter tall muscular body and grabbed onto the ground with his 3 pairs of thick arms, securing his position.

Cecile, Sophie, and Rosalina moved against the powerful gusts of winds to get closer to Luvanka and grab onto his thick fur.

"Why are they so fast? I can't see!"

"Yes, maybe it's better if we switch to Agility equipment too."

"Rosalina, Sophie, try to increase our Agility too."

Allen took out bracelets and necklaces to improve Agility from his Grimoire and passed them on to everyone.

Allen had determined that Agility also had an effect on the perception of others in this world.

Back when he was a servant, he had been unable to see the movements of the assassin Dagraha.

But now he could clearly see movements like that.

Agility did not only increase one's mobility, but it also made one's vision more aware.

That was why those with high Agility could react to others with the same speed.

Everyone else there stood in the rear lines and had equipment that focused on Mana and Intelligence.

Allen gained a lot of Agility as he Leveled Up as a Summoner, but his equipment also focused on Mana and Spiritual Power regeneration since he wanted to increase the Skill Level of Generation.

Once everyone changed their equipment, they could finally see Shea better.
