Vol. 4 - Chapter 193 - Command
Me and my friends were going to fight an army of 1 million magical beasts moving southward across the ocean.
The last time I fought against an army of 1 million magical beasts in Tiamo, I was only able to defeat 400,000 magical beasts in three days. This time, I was thinking of a complete annihilation of the magical beasts.
Nest City, which they were planning to invade, was a port town, so it was structured for easy traffic from the ocean.
If tens or hundreds of thousands of troops of the Demon King\'s army were to invade the city from inside the port, it would result in a catastrophe. It was necessary to eradicate them without fail.
I couldn\'t ask the Spirit King about the Liberator, which I was thinking of asking him about, because he started to sparkle. I didn\'t want to wake up the Spirit King who was about to become a Spirit God. So I was going to ask him the next time.
After leaving the meeting early, me and my friends moved to a point between Tiamo and the Fortress LaPolca.
There were remnants of the Demon King\'s army a little further ahead.
The Demon King\'s army was scattered in tens of thousands of units in the land south of Fortress LaPolca.
It was more than enough to be called a remnant of the Demon King\'s army. I was going to use them to analyze my
<Command>
skill.<Command>
"I wonder what kind of skill it is."
"I don\'t know, but I\'m pretty sure it\'s a skill that can be used for more than just summoning very fast."
Normal Mode reached its cap at Level 60 and Skill Level 6.
I exceeded the limits of Normal Mode when I my
<Summon>
reached Level 7.<Summon>
The skills I got then were
<Fast Summon>
and<Command>
.<Fast Summon>
<Command>
I could use
<Fast Summon>
as soon as my<Summon>
reached Level 7.<Fast Summon>
<Summon>
However, I could not use
<Command>
until I reached Level 65.<Command>
After the battle with the Demons, I finally reached Level 65 and the seal was lifted.
As I continued to gain experience in order to break the seal, the Demon King\'s army, consisting of three million troops that had attacked Rosenheim, had been reduced by half.
The requirement for unsealing
<Command>
was probably how many magical beasts I had hunted.<Command>
It was quite common that the unsealing of a sealed skill use was related to some condition, be it Level, Skill Level, or status requirement.
I was convinced that the restriction by Level applied to
<Command>
.<Command>
And I knew that the more difficult a skill was to obtain, the more useful it would be.

I was equipped with a Ring that increased my [Mana] by 1000 and Mana Recovery Ring.
My Holder was mostly empty because I was not engaging in battle at that moment.
(Now that I think about it, it was about four months ago that I fought the Hero. Since then, my Level has increased by 10? I\'ve earned about 300 million skill experience through Mana Recovery Ring and this war. But I still have a long way to go.)
I looked at the Grimoire and confirmed my own growth.
I had a habit of checking my status every morning, noon and night even if there was no change.
All previous times, my status would increase at the same rate.
However, when I reached Level 61, my status increased twice as fast much as it did before.
I wondered if it was because I\'d gone beyond Normal Mode.
Thanks to the Mana Recovery Ring, my speed of earning skill experience was way higher than before. I still prioritized
<Strengthening>
and wanted to level it up first.<Strengthening>
I could use
<Strengthening>
on any summon I wanted, and its benefit was very great.<Strengthening>
Raising
<Awakening>
skill level was an afterthought, since I couldn\'t summon A-rank summons anyway. I\'d been in Rosenheim for about 20 days, and I\'d been using<Awakening>
to produce [Blessing of Heaven]s. I was producing about 20,000 [Blessing of Heaven]s a day.<Awakening>
<Awakening>
(Hmm,
<Command>
doesn\'t have a Skill Level. So, it means it has a constant effect. Is it safe to assume that it doesn\'t consume mana either?)<Command>
I anticipate the effect of the skill before activating it.
Skills that didn\'t have Skill Level, such as
<Sharing>
and<Inventory>
, didn\'t consume mana and had a constant effect.<Sharing>
<Inventory>
"Well, let\'s try it on Eagle."
In the meantime, I tried it one E-rank Bird.
"Yeah."
Cecile, riding in the back, replied.
I summoned an E-rank Bird at my side and activated
<Command>
.<Command>
"What? It\'s not activating!"
"What?"
There was no change at all in E-rank Bird. I checked my Grimoire, wondering if perhaps the effect was invisible to the eye. When in trouble, there was often some kind of log on the cover of the Grimoire, so I check based on that.
"
<Command>
skill can only be used on B-rank summons." "It said it can only be used on B-rank summons."<Command>
"Hmm. It\'s true."
A few hundred meters above the ground, with no safety belts, Cecile grabbed me by the shoulders and looked into the Grimoire. I thought it was dangerous, but even if we both fell, if I held Cecile in my arms and increased my [Endurance] by summoning changing summons in my Holder, I wouldn\'t break my legs and would be safe.
"Hmm. Well, come on out, Dora-Dora."
"Master Allen. How can I help you?"
"I\'m going to use my
<Command>
skill now."<Command>
"How?"
Thinking that the magical beasts wouldn\'t react because of the distance between us, I summoned a B-rank Dragon.
I activated
<Command>
.<Command>
"How is-!??"
"Ohh!!!"
"Oh!? I\'m getting stronger! I\'ve become a General!"
The shock before our eyes caused Cecile and me to scream out before we had a chance to check the effects of the skill. It was the same for my other friends riding other B-rank Birds.
The size of a B-rank Dragon, ten meters in length, doubled when I activated
<Command>
. The muscles on its body became even more burly, and the horns and fangs on its head became larger, making it look even more maniacal.<Command>
(What? You\'re a "General" now? Oh! There\'s a new page added to the Grimoire.)
I was surprised, but checked the newly added page to the Grimoire. Then, on the added page, there was a new status for B-rank Dragon affected by
<Command>
.<Command>
[Species] Dragon
[Grade] General
[Rank] B
[Name] Dora-Dora
[Strength] 5600
[Mana] 2000
[Attack] 6000
[Endurance] 5800
[Agility] 6000
[Intelligence] 3600
[Luck] 3200
[Blessings]: +100 [Attack], +100 [Agility], Strong Breath Resistance
[Special Skills] Militarization, Fire Breath
[Awakening] Fires of Wrath
"Oh, all of your stats are doubled. This is comparable to the top of the A- rank magical beasts. But, hmm? There\'s an additional skill called "Militarization."
As I looked at the Grimoire, I noticed that a special skill [Militarization] had been added to the special skills in the status column.
"Dora-Dora, you have a new skill [Militarization]. What\'s this?" "Hmm? This is..."
B-rank Dragon seemed to instinctively know what it was.
He turned to me and told me that he could militarize summons of the same species.
"I see. Anyway, I\'ll summons another Dora-Dora for you to try." "Okay."
I summoned another B-rank Dragon and ordered the General Dora-Dora to use [Militarization] on the newly summoned Dragon.
"Oh, it\'s huge!"
"Oh, my God!"
A visible change also occured in the newly summoned B-rank Dragon. It became 1.5 times larger than before.
When I looked at the Grimoire, its status had a new column.
[Species] Dragon
[Grade] Soldier
[Rank] B
[Name] Dora-Dora
[Strength] 4200
[Mana] 1500
[Attack] 4500
[Endurance] 4350
[Agility] 4,500
[Intelligence] 2700
[Luck] 2400
[Blessing]: +100 [Attack], +100 [Agility], Strong Breath Resistance [Special Skill] Fire Breath
[Awakening] Fires of Wrath
(Does changing Grade to Soldier increase status by 1.5 times? I see, so
<Command>
is a skill that makes a summon into a General so that it can create an army?)<Command>
I was starting to see the full extent of my skills somehow. "This looks like a pretty useful skill. Let\'s test it some more." "I guess so. All right."
Allen proceeded to further analyze his
<Command>
skill.<Command>
