A Commonplace Story Of Overpowered Sorcerer

Chapter 49 - Bestowing Magicks and Skills



"How did it go? Did you learn it?" Rio's curious voice woke up Liselotte and Aletia from their dazed states.

"Yeah, I did. But artifacts don't make much sense to me."

"...I don't have transmutation skill. This magic is useless to me."

Liselotte and Aletia responded with a wry smile and a dry look respectively. When Rio saw that, he was expecting it, but he couldn't stop himself from smiling wryly. However, he sunk deep in thought the next moment, piquing Liselotte's and Aletia's curiosity and worry.

'This magic is unsuitable for them because they don't have Transmutation. But, what if they have that skill?' Rio thought. He had the idea to give them some skills he had so they could expand their versatility. It was unfortunate that he couldn't grant them Perpetual Mana Generator and Skill Creation, but the other skills were a fair game.

'But, doing it really making the trial in other labyrinths useless, huh? Who cares, by the way! I'll still visit some Labyrinth because of the other gift they can offer, like that Compass of D.e.s.i.r.e, though I can create a skill with the similar effect that nullifies its use. Haaah, I'm too amazing that nothing in this world cannot be recreated by my cheat.' Rio formed a wry smile abruptly, disturbing Liselotte and Aletia who watched Rio's expression as he was deep in thought.

'Besides, venturing into labyrinths and conquering the so-called unconquered challenge is fun in and of itself.' Rio made up his mind and recovered from his thoughts. He then stared at Liselotte and Aletia intensely.

"What's it?" Liselotte asked Rio with a wary tone when she was subjected by Rio's intense stare. Aletia said nothing, but her wary eyes displayed the same sentiment to Liselotte's.

"Do you remember my Skill Creation?" Rio questioned the duo suddenly.

They stared at Rio silently and tilted their head in confusion. When he saw them like that, he resisted his urge to hug them because of how cute they look. Dismissing the useless thoughts in his mind Rio began explaining his intention to them.

Of course, what Rio spoke wasn't the truth. There was no way he would tell them that he acquired the information about the Age of the Gods from a novel based on Hajime's adventure in this world, in which Aletia was one of the easy heroines in Hajime's harem while Liselotte was an unimportant background character that probably didn't exist.

When they heard his statement, something finally clicked in their minds. Their eyes turned wide open at once and their jaw hung open in disbelief.

"Wait! Does it mean you already have the Age of the Gods magicks since the beginning?" Liselotte asked Rio.

"Yep. I create it when I read their records in Holy Church's archive. After acquiring Creation Magic from that magic circle, I discovered the Age of the Gods magicks my Skill Creation created are similar to it. I became 100% sure that the rest is also the same."

"...Seven Labyrinths for Seven Liberators, meaning seven magicks from the Age of Gods…" Liselotte mumbled in a daze and wonder.

"...You're outrageously broken..." Aletia finished in Liselotte's place, similarly in a daze and wonder.

Rio nodded while grinning widely. He then said to them, "So, I have an idea to give you all these seven magicks from the Age of the Gods when I experienced the magic knowledge and skill transferral of that magic circle. Furthermore, there are other skills I wanted you two to have. Do you girls want it?"

Liselotte and Aletia had their jaws hung open once again. But, they recovered quickly and exchanged a silent glance. It seemed weird when Rio once discovered the girls somehow had created the means to converse silently with their eyes. However, after thinking about it a little bit, he should have expected their synergy at least this good. After all, they had been fighting side by side since Aletia joined them. Their coordination was almost impeccable because it was refined in the deathtrap called the true Great Orcus Labyrinth.

They finished their silent exchange and turned at Rio. Their red eyes glinted with scary eyes. Though they hadn't verbally accepted his offer yet, Rio already guessed their answer. At the same time, he couldn't stop himself from forming a wry smile. He had probably opened the Pandora Box that should have been left alone.

Of course, Rio dared to do this because he had his full trust in Liselotte and Aletia. If it was other girls, even though they were peerless beauties, who Rio didn't truly believe and trust in, he wouldn't dare to do this.

Afterward, Rio used Spirit Magic and Evolution Magic to impart the knowledge of the other magicks from the Age of the Gods into their minds. He did it slowly because the information was enormous. The quick transferral of Creation Magic alone was enough to burden their minds, and Rio transferred the other six afterward. It was only normal that the process would leave them exhausted.

Moreover, Rio didn't only give them the magicks from the Age of the Gods he had created. He also gave them Transmutation skills and its derivative skills, the Mastery Skills over Weaponry, Martial Art, and Armory, and others.

As an aside, in regards to the Martial Art, it was actually a free martial art from many martial arts fused together to create a pinnacle Martial Art. It was a bit similar from Greek's Pankration albeit some dishonorable moves like poking the eyes or attacking the crotch are included.

As it was stated beforehand, this Martial Art was truly free and brutal with only a single purpose as its essence. To disarm or/and kill the user's opponent.

He also gave Liselotte the Auto-Regeneration skill and its derivation skill, Pain Nullification. The rests were some perception skills and other skills that would help them in a pinch. Also, he didn't forget to give them Anti-Possession. This one skill was very important for Aletia because she was also targeted by Ehit.

After the transferral process, it was only natural that the girls were knocked out cold. At least, they were already in a safe place. Rio then carried them to one of many bedrooms in the building after taking off the keyring from Oscar's skeleton. He didn't forget to give the departed soul of Oscar a promise that he would give his skeleton proper burial later.

After tucking Liselotte and Aletia in the same bed in one of the rooms, Rio buried Oscar's skeleton near the edge of the field and even gave him a modest gravestone.

Once the burial was finished, Rio returned to the two places that had been locked before. Rio had relieved Oscar's skeleton of the ring it'd been wearing on its skeletal finger. It wasn't grave-robbing since the skeleton hadn't been buried yet. The ring had a symbol of a circle with a cross splitting it into even sections engraved on it, which matched the engravings on the locks perfectly.

According to the blueprints, though Rio already knew about this small detail, the magic circle on the third floor connected to another circle that would teleport them back to the surface. That function could only be activated with Orcus' ring.

He also found other trivial information such as the cleaning that was handled automatically at set intervals by golems that normally rested in one of the workshop rooms, and that the globe hanging from the ceiling possessed the same properties as the sun, so Rio and his girls could grow crops if they wished.

There were a number of artifacts and rare materials Oscar had been working with in the locked room of his workshop, according to the memos. Rio decided to take those too unabashedly. Somehow, Rio had become a collector before he realized it.

Afterward, Rio discovered Oscar's diary. It chronicled the normal everyday life of Oscar and his six powerful companions. The Liberators. One of the passages in it talked about the labyrinths his six comrades had made.

According to his diary, his six comrades had also designed their labyrinths so that anyone who made it all the way to its furthest depths would be granted magic from the Age of the Gods. Unfortunately, it didn't go into the specifics of what kind of magic each had.

Well, that little detail was useless for Rio and his girls, but Rio was enjoying the everyday life of the Liberators. It was similar yet different from reading Arifureta Zero. There were some contents that weren't written in the Zero Volumes.

Afterward, he searched around the library for a while longer. Once he finished rummaging through the library, he headed over to the workshop. There were a number of locked doors in the workshop, all of which Rio opened with Orcus' ring. Crammed inside were all manner of ore, tools with unknown purposes, and work manuals. The entire treasure trove was a Synergist's dream come true.
