Tiers of the Warrior class and their characteristics:

In order to be a One-star Warrior, not only does the person need to be trained in their chosen weapon, they need to have Aura Perception as well. Aura Perception is the internal ability to sense Fighter’s Aura. Just by possessing Aura Perception, one’s body is strengthened to some extent.

In order to qualify as a Two-star Warrior, one has to be able to utilise their Aura Perception to activate the Fighter’s Aura within themselves. By doing so, they are able to exhibit physical prowess surpassing that of a normal human being.

A Three-star Warrior has to be able to temporarily manifest his Fighter’s Aura in a simple layer around one’s body. Such a manifestation increases the Warrior’s defence temporarily to the point where anyone below the level of Three-star wouldn’t be able to even harm this Warrior.

A Four-star Warrior is not only able to manifest his Fighter’s Aura, but to project it as an attack as well. Such an attack could reach up to several meters in range and is one of the main ways a Warrior can attack from a distance.

A Five-star Warrior’s signature ability is to wrap his weapon in Fighter’s Aura, increasing its power in the process.

A Six-star Warrior is one who is able to manifest his Fighter’s Aura as a shield. When condensed into a shield, the Warrior’s Fighter’s Aura is able to provide an astonishing level of defensive power, even rivalling the heavy weaponry of the Dwarves.

A Seven-star Warrior’s defining characteristic is his Aura Protection. By focusing his will, a Seven-star Warrior is able to manifest his Fighter’s Aura into an automatic defensive layer around his entire body. This layer is basically an upgraded version of the Aura Shield used by a Six-star. It is able to provide an all-around defense and is one of the strongest means a Seven-star can employ to defend himself.

An Eight-star Warrior experiences what is known as Aura Awakening that enhances the Warrior with certain special properties. For example, they might be able to focus their Fighter’s Aura into an Earth defensive ability known as Stoneskin. Or perhaps they can fire off Windblades with a swing of their weapons.

Finally, in order to qualify as a Nine-star, one has to be able to activate a Territory. Such Warriors are also known as Saint-class, the equivalent of an Overlord amongst Devils.

—The Tiers of the Warrior Class and their Respective Abilities

In the blink of an eye, my Mana Feathers trap was set. The four Dark Elves were completely surrounded by them but I dared not activate them for now. I lowered their mana signature to the lowest possible level and, having done that, I stopped firing off my Mana Feathers as well. Hopefully, they would mistake this as me running out of mana -that was my battle plan.

As expected, the Dark Elven Warriors fell for it. In their minds, they probably thought that such a wide area-of-effect spell would definitely consume an enormous amount of mana. If I wasn’t able to defeat them with this single spell, there would surely be a period of weakness. My feint only served to confirm this suspicion.

Too bad, it’s all just a ruse!

The Dark Elves had no ability to fly so they could only toss throwing knives my way. I easily dodged these projectiles with a flap of my wings, nullifying the threat these eight throwing knives posed in an instant. Even so, there was still a lingering sense of danger at the back of my head.

Hold on. What was that silvery light behind those throwing knives? A thread… At the same time as those throwing knives flew past me, they brought a faint thread-like substance before me that vaguely resembled a spider’s silk.

Amazingly, those eight throwing knives all landed at the same spot, and upon clashing with each other, actually did a one-eighty to circle around me rapidly, binding me tight!

With my wings bound up, I could no longer control my flight and began falling…

“Be careful, do not hurt her!” The Dark Elven clan leader anxiously called out to her four elite warriors, clearly worried by my uncontrolled freefall. These Warriors promptly took down their protective barrier -most likely because they no longer saw me as a threat- and rushed to catch me before I landed.

Yet that was exactly what I wanted them to do. My Mana Feathers had been lying in wait all this while just for this exact moment!

Rising Feathers!

The multitude of dormant Mana Feathers immediately began to stir. Like a speeding bullet, they took to the air and rushed for the encircled Dark Elven Warriors, catching them right when they let their guard down…

Because of the sheer speed of these projectiles, and because they were also preoccupied with saving me, they couldn’t enact their protective spells even if they wanted to. When I activated these feathers, I made sure to show some mercy towards them. However, the sheer number would still be enough to render them helpless. I definitely wasn’t planning to make an enemy out of these Dark Elves by killing four of their elite warriors right in their very nest -I would be the one to suffer if that were to happen.

Unfortunately, this well-laid plan was doomed to failure, because I had underestimated these opponents of mine.

My Mana Feathers continued bearing in on these female warriors, but they seemed to pay them no heed at all. The moment they crashed into their targets, they were immediately blocked by a strange barrier seemingly made of Aura. Just like that, the four of them made it to me unharmed, one of them even catching me in the process and raising me up into the air, like how one would show off a cat.

Impossible… I have the mana pool of a Six-star, and the damage of my Rising Feathers isn’t something to be scoffed at either. I won’t say that they can definitely kill a Six-star, but they should at least be able to severely injure a Five-star, especially when they weren’t prepared for it. So why are they completely unharmed?!

“They are all Seven-star Magisters, an attack of that level isn’t going to work on them.” The clan leader crossed her legs, stroked her chin and looked at me bemusedly. She then lightly smiled before continuing, “after all, Seven-star Warriors have the ability to cast Aura Protection. Normal attacks wouldn’t even harm them.”

Aura Protection…so the Dark Elves I’ve been fighting with were all Seven-star elites. No wonder they didn’t even bother reacting to my Rising Feathers… But that doesn’t make any sense at all, didn’t they just erect that mana dome just now? If those feathers can’t hurt them, they shouldn’t have to cast that dome either.

Just as I thought that, the clan leader promptly answered, “They didn’t know how strong your feathers were previously. And you are a Fallen Angel, after all. We should at least show you some level of respect.” My thoughts must have been clearly written on my face…

Respect… Fine, you win this round. But don’t think that I’m giving up just yet.

The clan leader received me gently from her subordinate but had no intention at all of loosening the thread binding. She plopped me down on her lap and began stroking my face like a plaything, eyes a little glazed over. “Such a beautiful little thing, I just want to marry you, then…”

“Then what? To be honest, how about we just skip the marriage? I can’t even bear a child with you…swinging for the same team is fine and dandy… but we will never have a child, so how about you just let me go…”

For the first time in my entire life, I was extremely thankful for my pee pee being on vacation. Rather than be captured by a bunch of Dark Elves, I would much rather die… Hold on, didn’t she just say that she hasn’t gotten married yet? So could she still be a…

“Oh, don’t worry about that.” The clan leader gently stroked my brows. “Us Dark Elves have a secret art passed down to us by the goddess Lolthe that allows females to have a child with each other.”

“…” What the potato? That’s possible too? I know I’m uninformed and all, but really…

“It’s true.” The clan leader eyed me from top to toe like a hunter eyeing her prey, then gently spat out what had to be the most bloodthirsty thing I had ever heard. “As long as I devour you, I can use that secret art to bear your child.”

!@##%#…is that even legal?

Hearing her say that, I could literally feel the soul leaving my body right now.

Seeing as I was shaken by that revelation, the clan leader quickly said, “Don’t worry, I can’t bear to eat you, at least not before I have my way with you.”

“…and when would that be?” At times like this, stalling would probably be for the best.

However, she didn’t answer me directly, instead continuing to play this game of cat-and-mouse with me. “Who knows.”

That’s it! I’ve had it with this woman!

In order to break free from this evil lady, I immediately lit my body on fire with my Nether Flames. As expected, my Nether Flames was something even she couldn’t handle directly. The moment she came into contact with a single mote of flame, she immediately pushed me away. Unfortunately for her, it was already too late. Her body had come into contact with my own.

Not only did the Nether Flames start to burn that Dark Elf, the threads binding me began to burn as well. A second after she pushed me over, I flapped my wings to stabilise myself quickly, then quickly beat a hasty retreat before she could capture me again.

“Nether Flames?!” Not at all interested in my retreat, the clan leader looked down at the Nether Flames burning her body and paused in shock. She did not expect a Four-star like me to actually be able to handle such a fearsome power.

Yet just when I thought that she was going to be burnt to a crisp, the clan leader casually waved her hands and the flames were instantly put out. In fact, it seemed like even her clothes were damaged by the flames…

“They are indeed Nether Flames, it’s just too bad that your level is too low for them to show their true power.” She gave me an interested look. “Dear, how about you just quietly come along, I promise I won’t eat you.”

“How about you just shove it.”

“Shove it?” While she might not have understood what those words were supposed to mean together, but she had this strange feeling that she had just been insulted. Her face immediately darkened. “If I can capture you once, I can capture you twice. Stop being so naughty and just come along quietly.”

“You want to capture me again? I’m afraid it won’t be so easy this time.”

Translator: CatatoPatch English Source: Re:Library

My name is Three-timing Bast— No, my name is Mo Ke, and I have just been summoned from Purgatory to a new, foreign environment.

The darkness before me stretched upwards a good hundred meters or so into a rocky cave ceiling that somehow made me feel more claustrophobic due to the sheer eeriness it gave off. In front of me was a stalagmite structure that was embedded with purple crystals which emitted a soft glow in all directions. As the light slowly spread out throughout the cave, it just gave the area a more haunted feel than if it had just been pitch blackness.

Right in front of me were a bunch of humanoids with red eyes, silvery white hair and skin as white as a ghost. Seeing their pointy ears and eyes filled with an ominous abundance of desire, I knew I had landed myself in a rather extraordinary situation…

“Purple wings!”

Exclaimed a female seated on top of a distant bejewelled throne. She wore a revealing black long dress that barely covered her ample bosom. Her elegant features shone with a dainty whiteness that seemed to give her skin a translucent, almost ethereal quality to it. Her silvery hair was tied up behind her head, while her red eyes shone like the reddest of rubies. No matter how one looked, this icy beauty was no ordinary person.

Her eyes were wide with obvious shock, but they also held an unmistakable passion within them, the kind of passion that threatened to swallow me within a second if I was not careful…

“Ummm… if you don’t mind me asking…where am I exactly? Who is my summoner?”

Most of the time, a summoning ritual had a designated summoner, like that Occultist who summoned me forcefully roughly two years ago. Strangely, I couldn’t feel who the current summoner was. Or perhaps there wasn’t a designated summoner to begin with?

“Don’t worry, my dear little brother, you’re already at the level of an Overlord. Unless the person who summoned you is a Demigod, they can’t force a summoning pact on you.”

I had to say, it was at times like this that I really felt I could depend on Ferti’nier. The moment that question popped into my head, she was already there with an answer waiting.

‘Well, since you opened your mouth to tell me this, I assume you know who these ghostly pale humanoids are then.’

“Little brother, have you heard of the Dark Elves?”

‘Dark Elves… that’s right! I remember now. Roscar once told me that Dark Elves were of this character… and here I was thinking that they all had charcoal black hair. But didn’t he also say that they were all extremely evil, cruel, chaotic, vindictive, selfish… essentially any negative adjective you could think of could be applied to them aptly.’

‘But how did I end up in Dark Elf territory and what should I do next? They won’t just have their way with me and then kill me, right?’

Unfortunately, that last question went unanswered. After answering that first question, Ferti’nier went completely silent, no matter how many times I tried to call for her.

Blast it… she’s back to popcorn mode again. I swear, can’t she just be a little more reliable…looks like it’s up to me again.

“Summoner? That would be me then.” The icy queen of a Dark Elf sauntered down from her throne and right up to me. With a gentle flick of her long, slender fingers, she hooked my lower chin upwards and brazenly appraised me. I could instantly see the coldness from her eyes fade in that moment. Instead, they burned with an intense fire that almost made me melt on the spot.

“It’s you?” I titled my head away to avoid her burning gaze then shyly smiled. “I don’t feel any sort of pact between us…”

“That’s because I haven’t signed a pact with you. Before that, however…”

She seductively winked at me, then leaned in so close I could feel the heat of her breath on me…

“I’m sorry, but we just met. Isn’t it a little hasty for that…”

“Hahaha… you’re so boring.”

The Dark Elven beauty was not to be deterred by my words. She continued leaning in ever closer in a bid to enact what would surely bring a brilliant red blush to my cheeks. Seeing that the situation was only going to get worse by the second, I immediately slided backwards a decent distance away.

“How about we get down to proper business instead?” Having evaded her brazen embrace, I warily eyed her and maintained a safe distance from her. “What did you summon me for?”

“Of course, it’s to ask for your help with a certain matter.” She stuck her tongue out, licked her pale lips then sent me a flying kiss. “But that’s before I met you. Now that I have, I think we have something much more important to do first…”

“Something much more important?”

Hearing that, my eyebrows instinctively twitched. She’s clearly planning something inappropriate right now -just look at her acting like a harlot towards me! The problem is I don’t want to have anything between us, not to mention that I can’t right now…

“That’s right. I suddenly have this urge to get married… and the target is you.” At that, she coyly blushed. “It’s all your fault for being so beautiful, even I can’t help but be moved.”

“Marrrriaaggee… cough… I refuse!” I’m not such a casual person at all, never ever. And all that talk about marriage? I think I’ll pass, I’m not so thirsty that I will just hump the first humanoid female I see.

“Why do you reject me… this body of mine hasn’t even experienced its first marriage yet…” Hearing me reject her so vehemently must have had an immense impact on her as the next moment I could see tears beginning to form in her eyes. “Don’t you like me?”

I looked at her once more, my head throbbing a little from the sheer irony of this situation. She was beautiful. So beautiful that any man would go soft in the legs upon seeing her. Too bad, I didn’t go soft for her. And while I might not get hard for her… No, no, no… and while I might have any way to get hard for her right now… I could still safely say that I would never choose a Dark Elf.

I would rather marry a Devil than marry a Dark Elf. In terms of cunniness, the two were a match for each other. But at the very least, I was counted as a noble blood amongst the Devils, meaning they either submitted to me or tried to take me by force. Not that anyone had ever succeeded up till now. Those that tried were already dead.

The Dark Elves were different. They were cruel and merciless. My bloodlines counted for nothing amongst them. What was loyalty even? Something edible?

There was no way I would ever marry a Dark Elf. Especially that particular Dark Elf. I might as well carve the word stupid on my face if I were to do that. And not just the usual kind of stupid either.

“Lady, we just met, alright? Isn’t it a little too fast for marriage or what not?! Besides, I’m not interested in you, so if there’s nothing else, I’m off.”

“You want to leave? That won’t do, I’ve already made up my mind about this.”

Seeing her so dead set on me from the very beginning, a thought suddenly occurred to me. Something that I had completely taken for granted till now. “About that… what do you think my gender is?”

“Even though you’re a girl, a very cute girl, but love is noble. Love can conquer everything: race, age and even gender! No one can stop love, not even you!:

“…” I get it now, she’s swinging for the same team as well.

“So let’s get married, gorgeous.”

“No!”

Since words were clearly not going to work, that only left fighting as an option. Even though I still couldn’t figure out how strong this lady was, I couldn’t feel the pressure of an Overlord from her. There was the possibility that she was hiding her strength, but even so, she shouldn’t be an Overlord. As long as I employed the Devil King Idol, I should still be able to carve a path out.

“You won’t listen to reason, then don’t blame me for being rough.” The beautiful Dark Elf didn’t immediately launch herself at me after saying that. Instead, she returned to her throne then turned to the four female Dark Elves on her left and right. “Be gentle with my baby.”

“Understood, clan leader.”

The four still-as-a-statue Dark Elves immediately launched into action upon receiving the order. They acted in perfect unison and with alarming speed that only grew faster by the second till they finally reached me. They were armed with all manner of weaponry: daggers, long swords, shields, etc. But they chose not to use any of them; they were probably afraid of harming me if they did so.

I had to admit though, these Dark Elves were all very beautiful. These four warriors were all blessed with the perfect curves for a female. Even their tight leather armors weren’t enough to keep down the mountains that were their bosoms… especially when they jiggled…blast it… the physics is too strong for my eyes…

Faced with the oppressive might of these four elites, I made the swift decision to take to the air immediately. As I did so, I did not forget to rain down a blanket of feathers at them. These mana feathers rained down on them like arrows, causing them to even panic a little, most likely because they had never faced such an all-encompassing attack before.

Yet I didn’t think that such an attack was enough to take care of all of them. Even if it left them startled for a second, these four elites were definitely at the top of their class for their Star level. In just the blink of an eye, they came up with the perfect way to counter this wide-area spell. The four of them came close to each other, back against the other, then extended their arms outwards forming a perfect half-dome that shielded them in an instant.

This spell of mine was great for its overwhelming numbers, but if there was a weakness to be had, it would be that its strength wasn’t high. Even a simple mana barrier could block a feather’s attack. That was why the moment that dome was erected, my mana feathers were basically useless.

But that was within my expectations as well. After all, these four warriors were all standing besides that clan leader of theirs. That meant they weren’t just your ordinary Dark Elves. I calmly redirected the mana feathers to avoid ramming into the dome, preventing them from being wasted on such a fruitless endeavour. By doing so, the mana feathers began to fall outside of the dome, slowly forming a ring of feathers around these unsuspecting Dark Elves…
