《Maou the Yuusha》Chapter 82: A Maou's Second
Advertisement
The monster huffs as it prepares to defend itself. It looks like a creature that has gone completely rabid. It almost looks pathetic in an entirely different way, as it looks to already be suffering from straining itself so heavily.
“Hey Kera, since it’s your suggestion I suppose you intend to explain what exactly it’s weaknesses are?” I ask in a goading fashion as I retain a distance of the ratmol
“Oh, you shouldn’t need anything like that. Just throw some fire at it or something.” She says waving my request off entirely
I glare at her for a moment before my attention is drawn again by the strung-out creature huffing in front of me and slowly approaching. Its movements are similar to that of an animal preparing to pounce. Obvious in that its slow movement is just to throw off its opponent in some fashion.
I give a short shrug as I decide my next move.
“Fal-Su-Feir Fireball!” I say as I point towards the ratmol
It’s body tenses and it begins to run fervently before the fire even manifests above me. I feel pity for it as the fireballs give chase and immolate it.
“See? No sweat. Everybody here should be able to take these things on 1 on 1. Even Kiel should be able to squeeze in a couple kills.” Kera brags as the creature stops writhing
“Hey! What do you mean ‘Even Kiel’?! I can hold my own!” Kiel yells in his defense
“Well, ya, but you’re still the weakest one here.” Kera answered with a scoff
“Am not! I would say I was the second strongest!” He rebuts with irritation in his voice
Not even going for the #1 position, eh? Suppose you shouldn’t fight battles you can’t win.

“I am second in command in the Maou’s army! That means I’m the strongest!” Bik spouts at Kiel's claim
“No no! Mak strongest! Mak most cleverer!”
“No no no! Kay stronger! Kay move faster!” Mak and Kay inevitably speak up
At first, they were arguing together, but after hearing each other statements they have turned on each other as well.
“Okay, okay, we are on a timer here so no fighting. If you want to claim that your the strongest, then go for results. The one with most ratmol kills by the end of the eclipse gets the title of ‘Second strongest’” I say interrupting their feud
I try to fight a smirk on my face as I get to humbly state that nobody can compete with me.
“Ha! There is no competition! I’m going to win easily!” Kiel yells as he dashes away
“You're on!” Bik yells as he blinks away as well
“Me win!”
“No me!” Mak and Kay quarrel as they wrestle
Even whilst grappling with each other however they still skillfully teleport around nearby branches and rocks slowly gaining distance from us.
...
“You're not going to go as well?” I ask after a few moments pass and the remaining three haven’t moved
“Not really a fighter. Might hunt some small game in the meantime though. I’m interested in this “Boost” of yours. Everything around you is usually so exaggerated that its hard to imagine it will be something insignificant.” Kera explains with a shrug
“Mana wants to go with Mano!” Mana cheers out with a smile
...
“You're the one I’m actually surprised about,” I say with a soft look towards Kurobe
I thought for sure when a competition came up that his pride would be hurt that nobody involved him.

“... I don’t like the ‘New moon’. Those of us that can speak tell stories about it. Tell of its great power. It’s become common sense that the day we fight back will be on a new moon. I won't stoop to the level of such weaklings.” Kurobe explains through gritting teeth
"Hm? What are you talking about?" I ask with a worried tone
Whatever it is it really seems to bother him. "We" "Fight back" Is he talking about the monsters? Are they planning some kind of attack?
"Hmph! I'm done with this. I'm going to go take a nap somewhere warm. Don't bother me." Kurobe states with a standoffish tone before dashing away
"Whats got his undies in a twist? You feed him something bad?" Kera ask in a half-joking tone
Whatever is bothering Kurobe so much has something to do with the eclipse, there is no point in seeking him out until it ends. For the moment the EXP boost comes first.
"Don't know... I'll look into it later. For now, it's time to hunt." I say with conviction

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
