Chapter 1610 A Reward for Lilia ③
Chapter 1610: A Reward for Lilia ③
I was called by Lilia-san as she apparently had something she’d like to consult with me, and when I came to her office to talk to her…… It seems that Lilia-san had awakened her Heart Tool.
After Eden-san asked Lilia-san to run an errand for her, Eden-san made it so Lilia-san would conceive a Heart Tool…… and awakened it in 5 seconds. I see, 5 seconds huh…… No, she really isn’t someone anyone should be comparing themselves to. According to Alice, my awakening rate was also on the faster side, and speed doesn’t necessarily equal strength, so I shouldn’t be bothered that much about it.
[I understand what you’re saying, but when it comes to Heart Tools, it’s better to consult with Alice rather than me. I think it would be better to ask Alice if you want to verify it or something.]
[He’s right. Well, I think you yourself should already understand your ability, but it’s also important to actually try using them in practice……]
[Eh? Alice, what’s that?]
[……Just rubbish. Kinda tore it off earlier. She can grow it back quickly as long as she just wants it anyway, so there shouldn’t be a problem.]
Alice muttered that with a steady gaze, but looking at the mechanical wing she was holding stained with blood, I could feel that she had inflicted considerable damage on the owner of that wing.
I was curious, but I didn’t really want to provoke Alice while she was emitting quiet anger, so I decided not to get closer in this matter any further.
[Even so, Lilia-san’s Heart Tool is a one-hit kill type huh…… There certainly are Heart Tools like that. Most of them would either have cooldown times or limited usages, but all Heart Tools in this category are comparatively stronger than others.] n0𝗏𝑒𝐥𝐔𝗌𝕓.𝐂0𝓜
[……Eh? Arehh? Ummm, Alice-sama? I still haven’t told you my Hauteclere’s ability, right?]
[I can tell. Hina-san’s Heart Tool is called “?χιλλε??”, while Aoi-san’s Heart Tool is called “ásgarer”. In terms of abilities, Hina-san seems more user-friendly, but was relatively unassuming, while Aoi-san’s Heart Tool has a powerful ability, yet selective with the situation. Well, revealing their detailed abilities here would also spoil the surprise, so let’s just wait until both of their Heart Tools awaken.]
(T/N: Hina’s Heart Tool is read as Achilles, while Aoi’s is, well, Asgard.)
Just as Lilia-san’s Heart Tool was referred to as a one-hit kill type, it’s likely that there are various types of Heart Tools. Alice’s Heart Tool also appears to be extraordinarily powerful, but the original ?κατ?γχειρε? apparently just transforms Alice herself, a Heart Tool that was originally challenging in many aspects, but it has become tremendously powerful through years of dedication and training.
[……I’ll say this now, Kaito-san. You might think Lilia-san and my Heart Tool are amazing, but when you just look at their base ability, your Heart Tool is pretty overpowered, you know? Not only does it not have any negative effects on the user, but the ability to buff regardless of the person’s ability limits alone makes it strong, a boost that, depending on the strength of the user’s heart, can even be described as not having any upper limits.? Not only that, there’s also its ability to summon deceased individuals as Heart Tools, which by the way, gives them strength that has practically no limits depending on the user’s growth……]
[U- Unnn. Now that you mentioned it, I guess you’re right?]
[For the time being, I’m curious to see if Kaito-san’s Αναμν?σει? buff can be applied to Lilia-san’s Hauteclere strike. I’ll ask for your cooperation on this later, Kaito-san.]
(T/N: Memories)
[Alright.]
Now that she described it like that, I guess my Heart Tool might be strong too. Even though the scope of my target is limited due to my own abilities and magic power being too low, this ability is truly powerful. Moreover, if Alice were to use it, she could summon a vast number of deceased individuals as Heart Tools and potentially grant a powerful buff to a large group of people simultaneously, so as a Support-type Heart Tool, I guess you could say that it’s an incredibly powerful Heart Tool.
<Afterword>
Makina : [She’s so cruel, isn’t she? Just because I can heal myself up, she decided to thoroughly beat me up……]
Serious-senpai : [Aren’t you just reaping what you sowed? It’s definitely because you said you’re just going with the moment, I tell you that.]
