Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Monsters with Evil Eyes

"Hum~ hum~ hum~ I'm the Little Match Girl~"

Humming a nonsensical little tune,

Tsukasa kicked the corpses of these Green Hairy Turtles into the water one by one.

Planting a bunch of dead turtles.

Hoping to harvest a bunch of live turtles tomorrow~

The maiden is praying.

"Well then, let's get back on the road."

Having finished this, Tsukasa clapped her hands and looked at her attributes.

Tsukasa's attributes were practically a model specimen of specialization.

But in a sense, it was also a manifestation of genius.

After all, there probably wasn't anyone else who could specialize to this extent besides her, and her magic ability was indeed extraordinary for this level.

For a commoner without bloodline bonuses or noble education in childhood to achieve this, one can only say that a Reincarnator is indeed a cheat-like existence in this world.

Now Tsukasa already possessed the power to slaughter a village alone.

At the level of the small village where she was born, she could completely massacre it. Magic was inherently a transcendent power, and ordinary villagers could never be a match for a mage.

Moreover, one must factor in Tsukasa's personality.

With her'safety first' mindset and a personality that favored sneak attacks over frontal confrontations, slaughtering a village was no exaggeration. However, if she were to encounter the group that slaughtered her village back then, the gap would still be massive. Fortunately, her luck protected her, and those people still hadn't found her location.

Looking at her greatly improved attributes,

Tsukasa's mood was also a bit upbeat.

Compared to her initial self, who was weaker than a 'battle power of five' scrub, she had truly become much stronger. And at this point, she hadn't even been away from the village for a month, showing how wise her initial decision was. As expected, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was an excellent place for training.

Compared to the increase in strength, what did a little hardship and fatigue matter? Even if she had no clothes to wear, even if her whole body was covered in mud, even if she ate plain roasted meat without seasoning—what did any of that matter!

As long as she could train until she was invincible before coming out of the mountains,

.

Then she would have whatever she wanted!

Good days were waiting for her in the future!

However, precisely because of this, her subsequent actions needed to be even more careful and cautious.

Since a beautiful future was already in sight, wouldn't it be a terrible loss if she died in the Magical Beast Mountain Range due to carelessness?

If she died suddenly halfway, all her previous efforts would go to waste. Therefore, before doing anything, she had to ensure she had a safe way out!

"My next target is decided: it's this one."

[Elroe Basilisk]

A type of lizard monster.

According to the information provided by Appraisal,

This type of monster generally lives in the Elroe Labyrinth.

Its appearance here meant that the Elroe Labyrinth was nearby, but she had no intention of messing with that labyrinth.

After all, according to traditional RPG tropes, the difficulty of a labyrinth map is definitely much higher than the outside maps. Since these monsters could wander outside, it was likely because they were just trash mobs from inside the labyrinth.

The traditional setting for all labyrinths is that the deeper you go, the stronger the monsters become.

Monsters that can wander outside are almost certainly small fry from the outskirts. Plus, their attributes really weren't that strong, so this judgment was basically spot on.

However, one could also infer how terrifying the monsters inside the labyrinth were through their attributes, because these monsters called Basilisks possessed Evil Eyes.

Among their skills was one called .

Evil Eyes—at a glance, that's high-level stuff.

And Petrifying Evil Eye immediately brought the legendary Medusa to mind.

For such a powerful skill to appear on a trash monster from the labyrinth outskirts—to be honest, Tsukasa had completely abandoned the idea of exploring the labyrinth.

At least for the short term, she would definitely not go into the labyrinth to seek death.

Although the word 'labyrinth' sounded full of adventure and chance encounters, this labyrinth was too dangerous and simply wasn't something she could consider right now.

"Evil Eyes... such insidious things. Why don't I have any Evil Eyes in my skill bar? Is my bloodline inferior to a lizard's?!" Tsukasa, who was hiding to one side using the effects of Stealth to observe the Elroe Basilisk, looked at the Elroe Basilisk's skills with envy.

After all, the Evil Eye skill was so convenient.

You only needed to 'look' to activate the magic.

Unlike ordinary magic, which required gathering mana, summoning magic circles, and a series of preparation and casting times, Evil Eyes were simply too strong—and also very cool, weren't they?

She really wanted one!

But she searched her entire skill bar and simply didn't have an Evil Eye skill.

Was this thing dependent on bloodline?

System Goddess, how can you be so discriminatory? Do humans not deserve to have Evil Eyes?

You should know that in the manga she knew from her past life, there were plenty of humans who possessed Evil Eyes.

"I wonder if Evil Eyes can be transplanted like a certain Sharingan... No, forget it." Tsukasa looked at the Elroe Basilisk's eyes and imagined herself with lizard eyes, and she couldn't help but shudder. That was way too monstrous.

She gently tossed a stone.

The moment the Elroe Basilisk was distracted and its gaze fell on the stone, a light ball slammed into the ground. The Flash that erupted in that instant left the Elroe Basilisk dazed. Then, a 'Cinderella' who looked like a beggar rushed out of the bushes holding a flame. Mimicking Ultraman Tiga's Deracium Light Stream movement, she threw a series of Fireballs that blasted the Elroe Basilisk apart.

Looking at the experience points gained,

Tsukasa nodded.

As expected, the experience points from labyrinth monsters were higher than ordinary monsters.

And the tactic was indeed successful.

The Elroe Basilisk was not immune to the Flash tactic!

With that, it was now her turn. But Elroe Basilisks, you won't be getting your turn, because you won't have a next turn!

Eat my Magical Cinderella's Divine Punishment!
