“Ha… Hahaha…”
[Endurance Points: 1700/1900]
[You have obtained 1 Skill Point.]
Despite his Endurance Points going back to normal and the electricity that had been coursing through his body subsiding, the shivers and tingles didn’t stop.
The Paru could barely believe it, seeing the unmoving Giganto Zilla in front of him.
‘Just shot… A lightning bolt.’

‘That’s as close to magic…’
Despite the cascade of messages by the System, the Paru’s gaze remained locked on his hand, from which a lightning bolt had been shot.

‘As it gets!’
The Paru smiled widely.
“Just when I said I wouldn’t let my emotions get the better of me again, I’m hit with something that feels this incredible… Not only did it feel like I had an infinite amount of energy, I felt like I could do anything. Plus, it even brought some results. Going through that has…”
[Your Strength Stat has increased by 11 Stat Points.]
[Your Agility Stat has increased by 19 Stat Points.]
[Your Perception Stat has increased by 13 Stat Points.]
“Left me stronger.”
The Paru remained unmoving for a bit, letting the shivers slowly fade and subside.
Sigh-
‘Let’s get it done quickly.’ The Paru thought to himself as he bent his body, and started Devouring the unmoving Giganto Zilla. ‘
Once its whole body, Crystals included, was Devoured,
[Endurance Points: 2100/1900]
‘Its Crystals still caught a good amount of my attack. Mm… Might as well devour those lightning rods as well.’
Once all were Devoured,
[Endurance Points: 2400/1900]
‘Alright…’
The Paru’s eyes shone blue, and his muscles twitched for a moment.
Activating the “Electric Surge Lv.4” Skill, he immediately felt his body grow lighter.
“Let’s catch up to her quickly.” He whispered, and disappeared.
…
‘I should go back. With these, fighting alongside Liz and him will be… It’ll increase the chances of success…’ Roka repeated to herself internally over and over again.
She raised her gaze, having gotten there despite telling herself not to over and over again.
‘Without him, nothing changes. It’ll go the same as before… Worse, if I’m alone… But maybe…’
Gulp-
In front of her stood, once more, the imposing mountain of earth, rocks, and crystal.
Roka took a deep breath in.
At the peak of that mountain stood pillars of crystals, blocking the way. Beyond those pillars, were dozens of Tsero, fearsome Visero that held a slight resemblance to the triceratops in appearance.
Only after climbing the mountain, passing the pillars, and dodging or defeating the Tsero, can the Tsero Crystal be obtained.
Roka raised her gaze towards the mountain’s peak, invisible and covered by dark clouds.
“The most dangerous area…”
The Commander stared, and seconds passed. The seconds turned into minutes…
‘So this is it…’ The invisible Paru thought to himself once he arrived, standing two dozen steps away from Roka. ‘I assume the Tsero Crystals can be found at the peak of it. With the area covered by dark clouds, lightning is sure to strike often…’ He smirked. ‘I should be able to make it.’
The invisible Paru stood around silently.
‘Well? Are you going? Or aren’t you?’
Just like him, Roka wasn’t moving.
‘…?’
The Paru’s eyes narrowed, as he noticed Roka clenching her fists.
“I can make it… Unlike last time, I’ll be alone. It’ll be tougher for them to notice me. I’ll be able to…”
Thanks to his “Enhanced Vision Lv.3” Skill, he could even notice her facial muscles twitching.
“Last time we went up there, more than thirty died. I’m better off going alone. I’ll be able to stay hidden more easily. I’ll be able to… I’m their Commander, so it makes sense… I’m their Commander…More than thirty died last time. I…” Roka whispered as she clenched her teeth. “I don’t want…”
The Commander took a deep breath in, as a tear went down her face.
“Anyone else to die.”
She lowered her gaze to the ground and wiped her face.
“If I make it alone, then everything is solved. No one will die… No one… Other than those who have already…”
We can’t afford to send you. Firstly because you’re the only one other than Rea who can navigate the ship properly. Secondly, because you’re our Commander. We can’t afford to lose you, not temporarily, and not permanently.
“Yes. You were wrong, Raya.” Roka’s gaze lay on the peak of the mountain once again. “It’s because I’m the Commander that I will do it.”
The Commander takes another deep breath in, and starts climbing.
‘Tsk. Climbing makes more noise. I don’t want her to notice me or know that I’m here unless absolutely necessary.’ The Paru thought to himself as he moved towards the foot of the mountain where Roka had been standing seconds earlier.
Seeing Roka react this way didn’t leave him indifferent.
‘Go ahead and do it alone. Take all the risks as their Commander. Obtain the Tsero Crystal again. This time, without losing anyone. Don’t let anyone die.’
Remaining a dozen steps behind and below her, the Paru starts climbing as well.
‘I won’t let anyone die either. Not you, or anyone else. But I also won’t interfere until necessary. If you can climb up to there, if you can make it, if you can obtain the Tsero Crystal by yourself and without any help…’ The Paru’s eyes burned brightly. ‘I won’t take that away from you.’
Go ahead and do it by yourself.
‘I’ll be your safety net, and nothing more.’ The Paru felt his lips curled upwards slightly. ‘Make sure you win, Commander.’
