227 – Wight Levelling

Watching the remains of the little treant crumble away out of the corner of my eye, I check the wight’s status .

Huh, its level didn’t increase as much as I expected . The ball rabbit’s level increased fast because I was power levelling it, and in my own case I had an experience doubling skill . Well, it is what it is . Sorry, little treant, it looks like we won’t be able to make good use of your sacrifice .

It might be better to power level the wight too… But it doesn’t look like there are any monsters that are weak enough around here . For now I’ll get my partner to restore its body with [Soul AppendmentFake Life] . I wonder if that’ll be enough to regain its HP . Restoration magic wouldn’t damage it, right?

After my partner uses [Soul AppendmentFake Life], I check the wight’s status and see that its HP was restored safely . Relieved, I release the breath I’ve been holding . It might be best to avoid using recovery magic on it . I have no idea how it affects undead, after all .

But how should we go about levelling it up? While I’m fretting over the issue, the wight starts poking my front leg, pointing at another small tree .

N-no, that would be a bit… How to put this, I’ve got some hang-ups about continuing . The wight hangs its head forlornly . This child really does want to raise its level . As it is now, it’ll fall apart again soon, and as soon as I take my eyes off it, it might get eaten by an abyss… Um…

“Gaah, gaah”

Hmm? What’s up, partner?

Suddenly, I feel a voice in my head calling out “water, want to drink” . Just now, that was…

【Characteristic skill [Mutual Understanding] has risen from level 1 to 2 . 】

Ah, as I thought it was my partner . At this rate, my partner might be able to continuously talk inside my head soon . That could be a little unpleasant .

My partner sticks out her tongue and starts panting forcibly, repeatedly glancing at me . You don’t have to appeal that much; I know what you’re trying to say…

I release a cry and start walking, the wight following me .

When we arrive at the river, my partner sticks her head into the water and splashes around while drinking . I’m also feeling a bit thirsty, so I thrust my head underwater and drink as well .

Having drunk plenty of water, I raise my head . Despite the drips of water falling from my mane, I can see my reflection in the water’s surface . I open my mouth slightly, checking my wicked-looking teeth .

I’ve completely gotten used to being a dragon . But then it’s not like my appearance was this ferocious from the start . While thinking such things, I glance to my side to see the wight crouching by the river bank, peering at the water’s surface .

It’s not like it’s panicking over its appearance or anything, but I think it looks a little sad . When it is frightened, it trembles, and when it wants my attention, it pokes me . I am sure it doesn’t have memories from its past life, but its mannerisms are unmistakably that of a human child . There’s no way I can think of it as being nothing more than a monster produced by [Soul AppendmentFake Life] .

“Guuo…”

As I call out, the wight looks back at me and stands up .

Perhaps it might instinctively understand that levelling up might allow it to regain its flesh . If so, that would explain why it wants to level up so badly .

Perhaps it’s holding onto a faint hope that, after eating a lot of human flesh, a zombie can regain its humanity . Because I experienced such hardships chasing after the [Humanization Technique], I understand its feeling well . I’ve had it better as a dragon, but as a wight it’s just bone . Just a skeleton .

Having made my resolution, I indicate a nearby tree with my head .

Partner, please use [Soul AppendmentFake Life] on that . I’d like to allow the wight evolve by the end of today .

“Gaa?”

“Sure?”, she asks . Yes, of course .

As she uses [Soul AppendmentFake Life], just like before, the its bark changes and a face appears . It’s transformed into a little treant .

“Higii!”

The little treant uproots itself and starts moving .

The wight looks up at me happily .

“Gaah”

With my cry, it circles behind the little treant and grapples it . The little treant struggles, snapping some of the wight’s bones . The wight catches a fractured bone before it hits the ground, using it to stab into the little treant’s back .

“Higi, higii!”

It bit, squeezed, and stabbed with its broken bones . It’s a much messier fight than last time . It’s low on MP, so it might not be able to use its skill .

But the wight is winning regardless . It’s got one level on the little treant . Simply comparing their stats, the wight’s are higher on average .

Covered in gashes, the little treant collapses, the wight falling to the ground with it .

Dragging its chipped and broken body, the wight crawls towards me . I gently pat its head with my foreleg . Then, to the wound-covered little treant, I close my eyes and bow my head a little .

It’s still not enough . For the wight to evolve, around five more little treants will be needed .
