Chen Yi Decides to Give Up

Chen Yi had been in this world for 4 months, the longest he had ever stayed in one world.

But the longer he stayed, the more confused he became.

When he first arrived, the priest Marin had told him that the human race was at war with the demon race, and that heroes were summoned to fight the Demon King.

The problem was... who were the demons?

Were they these so-called demonic beasts?

In the royal court, even the guards started at level 15. A place Chen Yi himself wasn't confident he could escape from, how could they lose to these demonic beasts that were at most level 18?

With a wave of his hand, three flame swords formed in the sky. The flame swords pierced through the bodies of the barbarian bulls and embedded themselves in the ground.

Then, the three flame swords resonated, and a scorching fire ring spread out from the swords. The fire rings met, creating even higher temperatures.

Flame elemental particles distributed in the air were gathered, and the ground was instantly transformed into lava.

Not a single barbarian bull could break through the lava to reach Chen Yi.

Flame · Seal Sword!

This was one of the few useful skills in Chen Yi's Little Notebook. It consumed a lot of mana, but it could quickly create an advantageous terrain.

A group of level 18 barbarian bulls couldn't even pose a threat to Chen Yi, so how were the cities of the empire lost?

And which side was Marin on?

He had taken the hooligan Aida Suzuki away. Chen Yi had thought it was to dispose of the body, but unexpectedly, he handed him over to a group of people hiding under black robes.

Afterward, he strangled a guy whose head was covered by a cloth bag, wiped the blood from his hands, and deliberately went to see the King with a hint of bloodstain.

There were 5 heroes summoned this time, so one missing wasn't a big problem.

The King simply criticized Marin a little and let the matter pass.

After all, according to the news the King received, Aida Suzuki's attitude towards Marin hadn't been very good, so his actions were understandable.

The empire's side was not simple either.

Chen Yi moved stealthily all the way, sometimes burrowing underground, sometimes summoning plants to cover himself, sometimes crossing streams. He had learned many spells at the Mage Association. Although he was a bit lacking in offense, they were very effective for hiding.

It was precisely because of this that the church couldn't find Chen Yi. Despite being so vigilant, he was found by the empire.

Princess Anna, who was once a Normal Person.

When they met again, she was still as cute as a doll come to life, but her strength had inexplicably reached level 25.

Looking at her cute little fists, she could punch Chen Yi into the ground.

[Princess Anna]

Level: 25

Class: ???

Constitution: ???

Strength: ???

Intelligence: 49

Agility: ???

Spirit: 52

Skills: ???, Holy Sword Judgment, ???, ???, ...

These question marks were just like Chen Yi's question marks. Were there really shortcuts to getting stronger?

Even though the game world was taking shortcuts, there were still basic principles to follow when taking them!!!

If Chen Yi didn't have his own plan to get stronger, his Dao heart might have shattered on the spot.

He thought the Empire was coming to hunt him down, but he didn't expect Princess Anna to curtsy just like the first time they met.

"Greetings, Mister Yi."

Princess Anna offered Chen Yi many benefits, as long as Chen Yi remained in his 'disappeared' state.

He didn't need to help kill any Demonic Beasts, nor did he need to stand up against the Church.

The meaning behind this was self-evident.

The Empire was confident of victory!

Then, looking at the Church, which currently had the upper hand, Chen Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

The people in this world were not only stronger than him, but they were also a bunch of cunning schemers.

Accepting 100,000 gold coins from Princess Anna, a magic book from the royal collection, and a Blue Quality staff.

Chen Yi continued to search for Demonic Beasts with Charmander, disappearing from the sight of the world.

That's right, Charmander had already evolved.

After its body was modified and certified by the Game World, Charmander was no longer a simple Pokémon.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Yi had it fight monsters higher than its own level, its level rose very quickly. It wouldn't be long before it completed its next evolution.

The Fire Dragon could give Chen Yi an aerial advantage.

Chen Yi leveled up the Staff of Healing to level 20.

[Staff of Healing](Cannot be brought out of this world)

Quality: Deep Purple

Physical Attack: 15-26

Magic Attack: 59-64

Intelligence +24

Durability: 19/35

Heart of Healing: Increases healing effect by 25%.

Brave's Imprint: The staff was nurtured by the Brave 'Yi'. Brave 'Yi' can use this staff unconditionally.

Strong Heart: Instantly erupts all the staff's energy to perform a group recovery on all teammates, dealing healing equal to Intelligence * 10. After that, the staff's level reverts to 1. (This ability can only be triggered by Brave 'Yi' and **.)

Level: 20 (10%)

Evaluation: Affected by the rules of this world, it cannot be brought out of this world.

This staff might be Chen Yi's biggest gain, getting a Deep Purple staff for free.

Although it is currently indicated that it cannot be brought out of this world, as long as Chen Yi uses the Strong Heart effect, he can bring it out and then get it certified in the Game World.

Chen Yi decided to slack off in this world. However, he did not give up the mission directly. Instead, he wanted to see how these old schemers would develop.

After meeting the old schemers, Chen Yi deeply reflected on himself, wondering how to evolve into an old schemer.

"Charmeleon, let's go. The matters of this world have nothing to do with us anymore."

"Ugh~"

The man and the Pokémon went to an unknown destination.

He had prepared many contingencies to complete the mission. The Charmeleon, which was about to evolve into a Fire Dragon, was one of them. Unfortunately, it couldn't be used.

The frequency of the Demon Race's attacks increased continuously. The Empire lost more and more cities, appearing on the verge of destruction.

At such a dangerous time, three Braves stepped forward.

Although many people were curious why there were three, not four?

But under the brilliant achievements of the Braves, none of that mattered.

Because Chen Yi himself was already level 14, the Experience Points he gained from killing Demonic Beasts weren't that much.

It was different for the Braves wielding Divine Weapons. Every Demonic Beast was a challenge above their level. It wasn't them who possessed the strength, but their Weapons.

Under the 'admonishment' in the church, the Braves began to fulfill their mission once more.

"Extra! Extra!"

"The Sword Brave successfully recaptured Marn City the other day. The Sword Brave and his teammates have driven out all the Demonic Beasts within the city."

"Thank the gods for their blessings! We suffered such hardship, it must be because our faith in the gods was not firm enough."

"Including the Bow Brave's recapture of Oma City ten days ago, and the Night Brave's recapture of Sishui Fortress, driving the Demonic Beasts out of the Empire is within reach!"

More and more people were Going to the church to donate and pray.

But Ilius, watching this scene, became increasingly agitated. This bad feeling just wouldn't go away.

"What exactly went wrong!"

"Why is it only me who has this feeling? Is the Empire really this useless?"

No one could answer Ilius. All the clergy were immersed in the glory of the gods.

"No, I have to go and see for myself."

Having made up his mind, Ilius decided to take his Weapon and personally go to the Demon Race.
