The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated Chapter 1: A Bit Much?

Chapter 001: A Bit Much?

“————”

When he ca back to, Shien found himself already standing on the ground.

“So this is another world…?”

Having opened his eyes and seen the scenery after opening, Shien was at a loss.

At this mont, Shien is in the middle of a forest filled with greenery.

The surroundings wrapped by layers of trees.

Gentle sunlight pouring down from overhead.

Never-before-seen plants everywhere.

There are no sounds of birds, beasts, or insects, but the atmosphere is terrifyingly heavy, as it it’s telling the outsider Shien that he is unwelco.

“…… It can’t be that I ended up in sowhere unbelievable, right?”

This is Shien’s first impression of this world.

Truth be told, Shien is still bewildered.

Even though he does rember just what happened to him, after suddenly arriving in this world, getting thrown into a completely unfamiliar place, not knowing anything other than common knowledge, and not having a bit of understanding of this world, it would be impossible for him to not be bewildered.

However, Shien does have a virtue that most others don’t.

And that is, no matter what kind of unreasonable circumstance he’s in, he can always just categorize it as sothing that can’t be helped and quickly adapt.

That’s also why even after learning what happened to him, he could still readily accept reality, accept the goddess’s request, and co to this other world.

“I wonder if it’s because I was this kind of person even in my previous life, or if it’s a change brought about after dying once.”

Shien thus muttered sarcastically to himself.

At this mont, Shien felt a weight in his hand, thus diverting his gaze to his hand.

After a look, Shien was stunned.

In his hand had appeared a sword from out of nowhere.

A brilliant sword, glowing with a similarly brilliant light.

The sword is in the style of a western two-handed sword. The hilt is gold in color, with a similarly golden gemstone embedded at the top. The blade is a brilliant pure white, with a constant light flowing around it, giving it a gorgeous appearance.

After seeing this sword, even Shien felt stunned.

However, at the sa ti he is stunned, Shien also felt sothing abnormal from the sword.

It’s as if he could rge with the sword into one, a feeling that the sword and himself are the sa being.

That feeling even made Shien feel like he was just looking at himself.

What makes Shien even more dumbfounded was that when he was gazing at the sword, a ssage popped up in his mind.

[Holy Sword]

Wielder: Shien Level 100 All skills level 10 All damage resist 99% All negative status immunity Sharpness level maxed Durability level maxed Extre damage bonus VS. Evil Purifying and exorcism effect VS. Evil elent Bound to wielder. Cannot be lost. Cannot be transferred. Cannot be destroyed. Cannot be modified. Cannot be interfered with.

“…… Is this a joke?”

Shien was dumbfounded.

Shien knew instinctively that the sword is amazing.

Although according to the goddess he seems to be the Hero. That a Hero should have his own Holy Sword is sothing perfectly reasonable, but even so, isn’t the effect a bit much?

Even if Shien didn’t know just what grade the stats and effects of that sword are, he could definitely tell that it is sothing that can’t possibly exist normally just from looking at the rows and rows of effects.

To sum it up, if a weapon like this showed up in a ga, it would instantly destroy the ga balance and the ga developers will end up buried under hate mail from all the players.

And yet, it’s not even done.

Besides the Holy Sword before him, there is additional information showing up in Shien’s mind.

The information is split in two parts – [Level] and [Skills].

Shien raised his eyebrows at this ga-like developnt.

Then Shien discovered that he could freely check those two statuses using just his will.

Thus, Shien started observing the [Level] status.

This seems to be showing Shien’s current level – [lv.1].

Um, that’s very clear. It let Shien know that he is a real newbie.

Imdiately following, Shien checked the [Skills] status.

This seems to be showing the skills Shien currently have as wells as sothing called “Skill Points”.

Of them, the skill points are shown as [100]. Shien doesn’t know whether that’s a lot or a little either.

After that is the skills Shien has been looking forward to.

Currently, Shien has two skills.

[Heavenly Grace]

Unique Skill When leveling, all stat increase set to highest value. When leveling, skill point gain set to highest value. All skill unlock requirent condition set to lowest. All skill leveling requirent set to lowest. Constant effect. Unremovable.

==========

[Blessing of the Highest God]

Unique Skill Gain the protection of the world. Limited to gods, all condition satisfied. Limited to gods, all interference can be ignored. Limited to gods, all positions can be set. Limited to gods, all effects can be gained.

==========

“……”

Shien fell into silence.

Repeating the previous sentence, those two skills seem to be pretty amazing.

As for just how amazing, Shien who knows nothing about this world obviously can’t possibly know.

But, it’s still that sa sentence. Just looking at the rows of effect, it really is a bit much.

It can’t be…

“That goddess couldn’t have wanted to beat the Demon King at level one, right?”

Shien is seriously suspecting this.

After so ti with those botherso thoughts, Shien made a decision: For now, let’s not overthink it.

“Let’s just take things one step at a ti.”

After all, even if he wanted to defeat the Demon King, he has to first find the Demon King, right?

Besides, Shien doesn’t really think he can defeat the Demon King just like that.

Nevermind everything else, Shien doesn’t even know how to fight yet. Even if he’s wielding the legendary Holy Sword, all he can do is just wildly wave it about.

For him to defeat the Demon King?

Shien can’t even imagine sothing like that.

Or rather, all he can imagine is his shaking form before the Demon King.

“Rather than sothing as far-fetched as defeating he Demon King, let’s first think about how to get out of this forest.”

Taking a look around, Shien instantly made the decision to not linger too long here.

Taking a look at the sky, Shien got a general idea of the ti based on the position of the sun. He also got his bearings and even climbed on top of a relatively high tree for a look around, and after choosing a direction, he dove into the forest using the Holy Sword in his hand to clear the way.

Shien was completely ignorant of the shadow in the sky gliding over, its eyes gleaming with viciousness as it is fixed on Shien as he moves through the forest.
