c123: [Appraisal]

“S-Success!”

“Hooray!”

Leon and Eudrice shouted in joy as they watched the Old Demon Faction members be reduced to ash by the flames.

Never mind Leon and Eudrice, even Balon and the rest were overjoyed.

“It really did work!”

“As expected, our magic items are real trump cards!”

“Haha!”

“This is our victory!”

The knights and adventurers were wildly celebrating. Even Balon clenched his fists in excitement. Alrith, who had always been a little suspicious of the “magic items” was also overtaken by joy.

“Big sister Vivian!”

“Bis sister!”

Lumia and Melika were also overjoyed as they hopped and danced next to Vivian.

“Whew…”

Vivian also let out the breath she was holding and showed a smile.

“We’s have a much easier time now.”

Diere gave a glance over in Shien’s direction as she muttered quietly.

Shien retracted his magic power, looked at the blackened corpses before him, and spoke.

“Well, this is just the appetizer.”

Because the one who was the real problem here was about to explode.

As everyone was still cheering, a terrifying pressure along with a monstrous magic power swept through the entire area.

“You dare… You actually dare…!”

In the back, Baydr’s eyes turned scarlet as he growled out madly.

“Die, all of you!”

Baydr finally exploded.

Before them, the Old Demon Faction leader without any subordinates left took out a potion and drank it down in a single gulp.

“Ting!”

Dense light immediately shone from Baydr’s body, letting him get back up and glare toward his enemies with eyes filled with violence.

The near mortal wound on his chest was quickly healing back up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Baydr’s magic power and pressure turned more and more terrible at that, and the once overjoyed knights and adventurers were now terrified.

“Things have gotten troublesome now…”

Vivian’s face sank.

“That Baydr…”

Diere’s own voice also turned serious.

Even Shien frowned. He was now looking at Baydr with an appraising gaze.

It wasn’t because Baydr’s wound was healed.

Although he didn’t realize that Baydr would have a magic potion on him capable of healing such a terrible wound in one shot, Shien had never thought that he could have been so easily taken out from the start.

Thus, Baydr’s explosion of power was within Shine’s calculations.

However, Shien didn’t expect that Baydr seemed to have become even more terrifying than in the rumors.

Shien concentrated. He observed he raging Baydr, fully activated the [Enemy Detection] and [Magic Detection] skills, and, through observing Baydr’s hostility and magic power, attempted to gauge his power.

The result is…

「Skill gained – [Appraisal] – Would you like to learn?」

A new skill appeared as Shien concentrated on observing Baydr.

Shien’s eyes flashed at this new skill.

After all, this skill was one of the skills that Shien most wanted.

It could appraise people, demonic beasts, and even objects, allowing the appraiser gain accurate information about the target.

Originally, back when Shien was applying to become an adventurer, the magic item that the guild brought out to scan his level and skill was equivalent to a level 6 [Appraisal] skill.

Now that Shien had gained the skill, he naturally learned it without hesitation and immediately maxed out its level.

Thanks to that, Shien finally saw Baydr’s true power – [Lv.84].

Indeed.

Baydr’s level was actually 84. Not even Jillian could compare.
