"Give you powers?

　I raised an eyebrow.

"Does that mean the Fixed Damage skill is gone or weakened?
No, your own skills will not be affected. I'm sure you're aware of that. ...... Let me explain it to you one by one.

　I'll explain it to you one by one.

The first thing you need to know is that the Darkness skill you have is Annihilation. In the event that you've got a lot more than a certain amount of hatred and despair, you'll be able to evolve into an EX skill (fixed damage),......, which you will retain.
You'll be able to use it as you always have, right?
I'm sure you're right. In addition, as I have mentioned before, due to the effects of the spell "Darkness Chains", you are unable to use other "Darkness" skills. You can choose any of the skills that are disabled and give them to her.
"...... I see.

　I have a [Darkness] skill that I can't use and it's a treasure trove.
　I'm not sure what to do.

In short... in terms of strength, you will remain the same and only she will be strengthened.
So, you said you'd share your skills. Can you do that?
So you said you'd share your skills.

　A person you approve of...?
　I repeat the words inwardly.

"What do you want, Shea?
I want to help you. If you can be strong enough for that, then by all means.

　Shea looks straight at me.

"Whatever power you need. Give it to me, Master Chrom.
"...... All right. You heard him, Darkness. I'll give her some of my power.



"Confirm the sorcerer's will. Shea Flampright is hereby recognized as the sorcerer's subordinate.
The Darkness skill will be granted to the subordinate.
The skills that can be granted are [Annihilation], [Cutting], and [Acceleration].
Of these, [Annihilation] will be retained by Crom Walker as before, and the remaining [Dismemberment] and [Acceleration] will be granted to Shea Flampright.
In addition, the effects will persist until the surgeon releases them at will.



　The next moment, a black light flooded my body, and its glow was transferred to Shea.

I'm not sure what to do.

　Her body jerked and twitched with a strangely seductive voice.

　The glow soon subsided.
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

This is ......?

　Shea pulled out her sword with a surprised look on her face.

　There is a black glow on the blade.
　It's like a magic sword.

I can feel it, Master Chrom. I can feel it, Master Chrom. My sword is filled with a strange kind of power.
"The sword has power. ......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　I'm not sure if it's the cutting or the acceleration that's manifesting.

It's a good idea to take a look at the website.

　Unfortunately, there are only trees in the forest around me.
　If we carelessly cut them, they might fall towards us and become underneath us.

No, we've got the right guy.

　I narrowed my eyes.

"What?
A hint of evil is approaching.

　I've lost all of my magical power due to the spell, but I still have the power to sense it.

　It's not a human or an elf, but a demon.
　It's definitely a demon.

　Although the Demon Lord has already been defeated by Juno and her party of heroes, the remnants of the Demon Lord are still rampaging in various countries.
　It could be one of them, or it could be a stray demon from the demon world that has wandered into the human world.

The smell of human ...... ......
The smell of men and women. ......
"Men kill ...... women rape ......

　What emerged from behind the trees with these disturbing lines were seven huge bodies.
　All of them were about three meters tall, with the head of an ox and the body of a muscular human.

　They were the Minotaurs, an intermediate demon race.

　And there were seven of them.
　If they were human knights, they would not be able to stand up to them unless they were part of a unit.

　I don't know if they're stray demons or remnants of the Demon Lord's army.

...... is a good way to test your skills.

　Shea put her hand on the hilt of her sword.

　The hand is trembling.
　I think she's scared.

"Take it easy. Even though you've gained the power of [darkness], it's still unknown how strong you've become. I'll take care of this...
"Chrome-sama, please don't come within ten meters of the enemy.

　Shea looked back at me.

　Shea's eyes were shining with dignity, and she was already filled with a strong will to fight.

　If you're not going to get within 10 meters of the enemy, it's probably because you don't want to kill them with [fixed damage].



"If I can defeat it, I can prove that I'm stronger. I can prove that I'm strong enough to follow Chrome-sama on this journey.
"You don't have to go up against the best of them.

　I said with a stern face.
　Shea, on the other hand, smiled mischievously and said.

"Oh, you're worried about me?
"I'm not so cruel as to send a fellow traveler to his death.
I'm not so cruel as to send a fellow traveler to his death.

　Shea's smile deepened.

"No, that's .......

　No, that's ." The words had come out of his mouth on the spur of the moment.

　Friends, huh?



　It's the first time you've let someone else in since you got the Darkness.
　This is the first time since you got the [Darkness] that you have forgiven others.



　This reminds me of the words of [darkness] earlier.

If you think it's even a little dangerous, come back immediately. I'll take care of them with my [Fixed Damage] then.
"I won't bother you, Chrome-sama.

　Shea said.

"I'm going...

　The girl knight kicked the ground.
　A black energy wing sprouted around her ankle.
　At the same time.

"[Acceleration]

　At the same time, with Shea's voice, her body blurred greatly.
　It created an afterimage with tremendous speed.

"What's ......?

　The Minotaurs cried out in surprise.

It's too fast ......!

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
　It was so fast that it almost looked like a flash of red.

"First, one.

　With a voice, another flash of red streaked through the minotaurs.

　A black flash of a sword.
　A red trajectory.

　That's six times.

　In just a few seconds, the remaining six minotaurs were all decapitated and fell to the ground.

And then...

Shea, who had released her [Acceleration], came back to me.
　He wiped the blood from his blade and sheathed it.

"What do you think, Master Chrom?　I'm not sure if I can be of any help to you.

　She has blood on her forehead and cheeks from the demon race, but she is smiling brightly.
　I'm not sure what to say.

...... Ah, that's enough.

　I gave her a faint smile.



　A week later, we met the day in Larva's capital.

　A week later, we arrived at the Royal City of Ralva for the ceremony and parade commemorating Irina's inauguration as the new High Priestess.
　And it's the day I'm going to take my revenge...
