I Am Not A Goblin Slayer-Chapter 506 - 286:
The concealment of Spiritual Power attacks is stronger.
Moreover, this is a purely spiritual attack. In the past, the profession of [Soul of the Sword] required wrapping the Intention Sword around specific Sword Techniques, allowing enemies to actually observe his attacks in advance.
But this time, the attack had no warning signs.
Furthermore, the enemy could not use any physical means to defend.
According to Gauss’s observation, it is likely that defense can only be done through "soul" level means.
However, the soul of the sparrow is still too weak to test much.
Gauss glanced around.
Besides his companions, there were no other objects to test; those insects were even weaker than sparrows.
And naturally, he couldn’t use his teammates for experiments just for a simple test.
The soul is crucial to anyone, any creature.
Therefore, he had to use this move with caution. Although due to the existence of that "chain," his out-of-body spiritual form or soul had become tougher, it didn’t mean he could act recklessly.
The essence of a soul attack is soul confrontation; as long as he is stronger, he can crush the enemy.
But the reason why there appeared to be no consumption just now was that the difference between his soul and that of a sparrow was too great, so the consumption was negligible.
If facing a stronger creature, there should be some consumption, and excessive use could even endanger one’s own soul.
While he was deep in thought.
Aaliyah and the others had already noticed the mysteriously dead sparrow.
Although the sparrow fell more than ten meters away from them, and most of their attention was focused on the wooden house, the overly quiet environment made the sound of the sparrow hitting the ground extraordinarily piercing.
They glanced at the sparrow with no wounds on its body, and their expressions quickly turned tense.
The sparrow died mysteriously; before this, they didn’t Detect anything unusual.
"How did it die?"
"Is there an enemy?"
"Be careful."
You can’t blame them for being jumpy. It was indeed a crucial moment for Gauss.
But they didn’t go up to check the sparrow’s condition; instead, they circled the wooden house, cautiously observing their surroundings, fearing a mysterious enemy might emerge from some unseen place.
Gauss saw his teammates’ tense expressions and realized that the commotion he caused had scared them.
To prevent them from worrying too much, he quickly merged his spiritual form back into his body. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
A familiar feeling of solid strength came over him.
He slowly stood up, stretching his slightly stiff muscles after sitting for a long time.
As he moved, the layer of lustrous white glow around him gradually receded, merging into his body.
His whole aura transformed significantly again.
His gaze became more profound and sharp, and his sensitivity to and control over the surrounding Magic Power reached a brand-new level.
He pushed open the wooden door, warm sunlight and fresh air pouring in, meeting four pairs of eyes filled with concern and tension.
"Gauss!"
"Lord Gauss!"
"Captain!"
"How do you feel?"
"Rest assured, I’ve successfully leveled up to level 5," Gauss spoke, putting his teammates at ease.
"That’s great!" Aaliyah and the others, waiting for so long, breathed a sigh of relief.
Aaliyah suddenly remembered the sparrow that had died for no apparent reason, pointed at Gauss, and asked nervously.
"By the way, Gauss. Just now, there seemed to be a strange commotion. Should we investigate the surroundings?"
"It’s fine. That was me testing a new ability," Gauss scratched his head.
"Huh?"
Aaliyah blinked.
It turns out the culprit was Gauss, who had made them so tense.
Gauss smiled and gave a simple explanation to his companions.
The level-up of the [Magic Envoy] profession and an Intelligence increase to 15 points, combined with the secondary profession [Soul of the Sword], seemingly resulted in a wonderful chemical reaction.
In some sense, he now feels a bit like a "Psychic" from some works he read in his previous life?
