Chapter 101 Shaving Each Other’s Mental

The days of harvesting fruits and watching out for <Beyond the Purgatory> continued.

I thought they would attack us in a few days at the earliest, but… they didn’t come.

When will they attack?

What if they canceled their plan?

Did they see through our plan?

And so on… the days passed by without any change, and my thoughts became negative.

As the party leader, I can’t afford to feel uneasy in front of the members.

That’s why I am always smiling, but it seems I’m not hiding my emotions well that Ian and Dan-san noticed my uneasiness.

Both of them encouraged me and said that there was no problem with the method, but I think they also feel uneasy deep down.

To punish <Beyond the Purgatory> severely, it’s necessary to increase their charges, so I think the current method is the best.

But when I actually experienced it, the mental exhaustion of the endurance battle was more severe than I expected.

To free myself from this indescribable feeling of anxiety, I want to somehow get information about the other party!

Even if we got impatient, the enemy didn’t come… so we’re currently harvesting fruits and raising our levels while being vigilant around the area.

I’m sure our growth rate is higher than Purgatory guys, and there’s no demerit in getting stronger.

When I was watching the surroundings on watch duty, my <Presence Detection> level rose to 6.

My aptitude for <Presence Detection> is only mediocre, so the growth rate isn’t very good.

However, after using it for a long time, it finally leveled up.

「Onii-sama, did something happen? For some reason, you look so happy!」

Esther, who was on guard duty with me, started talking to me.

「The level of my Presence Detection rose just now.」

「Congratulations!」

「Thanks. Now that it’s leveled up, I think I’ll make use of this skill more. It’s a brute force method, but… maybe I can break through this situation….」

You can only wear one piece of enchanted equipment for each part of the body.

Even if you wear more than that, you’ll only get one effect.

Conversely, each part of your body can be equipped with one.

So, 20 fingers, wrists, ankles, necklace, earrings, belts, clothes, and underwear…. I tried to wear enchanted equipment with <Presence Detection +6> on all parts of my body.

Until now, I only used four rings in consideration of the combat aspect, and the <Presence Detection> I could enchant was about +70 at most.

But now, along with the skill level up, the Presence Detection buff is about +200.

With such a powerful detection skill, I might be able to grasp their movements!

「The skill level of Presence Detection has exceeded 200 in total. It seems that the range of detection has greatly increased, and I can clearly grasp the strength and mental state of creatures in the distance….」

The accuracy of <Presence Detection> is far better than before.

「Amazing! With this, we don’t have to worry about Purgatory making the first move! Onii-sama’s offensive power is reduced in exchange, so I’ll protect Onii-sama even if it cost me my life!」

My little brother gripped his cute hands tightly and he has a motivated expression on his face….

If there were figurines and cushions of this child as prizes of a UFO catcher, I would visit everyday to complete all of them.

Just as Esther said, I wouldn’t even be able to swing my sword properly because of the rings…

Also, it’s hard to walk because the rings on my feet are in the way.

I can’t even run fast, so I’m completely a burden

Esther, you don’t have to risk your life, but please save your brother when you can afford to….

Leaving the escort to my little brother, I do my best to search for signs in the surroundings.

In a place far away, it feels like the detection is blocked by a wall.

We’re currently in the middle of the 32nd floor, so I’m probably blocked by the wall of the labyrinth because my detection range is wider than the entire floor.

「The strong guys from Purgatory who were in the safe area on the 30th floor are now near the entrance of this floor. There’s no sign of the third army that revealed the information to me, but those Purgatory guys seem to be on edge.」

As soon as he heard my words, Esther took a battle stance.

As expected of my little brother… he almost has no openings, and yet I can’t feel any bloodlust or nervousness from him.

「Are they ready to attack?」

「No…. They’re quite far away from us, and from how it feels, they’re probably camped out there. I don’t think we’ll get into a fight anytime soon, but I think there’s a good chance that they’ll come to us.」

The tropical area is humid and hot, so it’s not suitable for camping.

People would rather go back to the safe area on the 30th floor than camp out here.

Putting aside a cheat party like us, if ordinary adventurers were to camp out on this floor… it’s better to assume that there’s a reason for it.

In other words, the assassination plan is still going on…!

「They are guarding the entrance, huh…. Could it be that they can get information about us even at this distance? Is that why they are staying away from us so as not to be noticed? Maybe I’ll check it out tomorrow.」
