Ever since his strength had reached true A-Rank, the odds of receiving Perception rewards from battle had plummeted.
Perhaps his opponents were not strong enough, or perhaps the risks of battle were too low.
So after driving Neferpitou away, Moyu had never expected a reward.
"Terpsichora... now that's a good one."
As his thoughts sank deep into his consciousness, Moyu became intensely interested in this unexpected reward.
Terpsichora was precisely the combat-type ability Neferpitou had developed in the face of adversity just moments ago.
Its specific effect was to have a manifested demonic puppeteer control the user, allowing the user to exert power beyond their own limits.
In essence, it was a self-control ability that could raise the user's upper limit, somewhat similar to Shalnark's automatic control mode.
Because the ability had been developed on the fly, when Neferpitou activated it earlier, only the phantom image of a red demon had appeared.
Interestingly enough—
The Terpsichora Moyu had received from Perception was the complete version.
Though it was single-use, it certainly gave him the strange feeling of a counterfeit killing the original.
If he used Terpsichora in front of Neferpitou, whose ability was not yet perfected, he wondered how Neferpitou would feel.

It had shocked Neferpitou profoundly.
Gathering his thoughts, Moyu turned to look at Netero and the others.
This unexpected encounter had likely allowed them to directly understand what a monster
