Chapter 130: Increasing One Strength
He is a scientist in the previous life, but right now, he is a demon. And he should possess combat abilities or might befitting of such race. Well, his weakness would end right here.
He may not be a one-man army, that is why he subdued a lot of monsters, but at the very least, he can handle powerful foes when needed.
"Looks like I need to do this," he muttered to himself, opening the system space menu.

He had been saving SP, hoping to save it before being an Archdemon. Right now, he realize how stupid he is. How can he hope to become an Archdemon if he died?
"Let see what is useful," Alros looked at the plethora of improvement, from having harder horns, to larger and more powerful wings, to claws that can tear steel parts, to tail that is stronger despite it being thin.
< Greater Demon Claw II - A stronger claw, one could only obtain through numerous battle. It could tear through armor with some resistance. Using spells to enhance it would make it stronger
Cost: 1000 SP >
< Greater Demon Wing II - A stronger claw, one that increase in strength through numerous flight in dangerous and strong wind. Can pass through strong air current with some difficulty. Using magic on it can make flight easier.
Cost: 1000 SP >
< Greater Demon Horn II - A tougher horn. The horn of a demon is one of the more magical conduit, with stronger and more magic attuned horns allowing demon to use stronger spells. The size of the horns did not matter, only the quality of it.
Cost: 1000 SP >
< Greater Demon Tail II - A stronger tail. The tail of a demon has many use, from hanging upside down to a third hand, able to grab weapon with it and can be used as one with sufficient training. The tip of the tail can also be turned into weapon, able to pierce through armor with some magic on it.
Cost: 1000 SP >
After giving it some thought, he decided to upgrade his horns, claws, and tail, his best mean for a weapon. Wings are not useful yet, well, except for one helpful add on.
< Armored Wings - Wings now have some strong scales on it. The edge of the wings are now sharp enough and can be used as a weapon. It will make flight slower but the wings are now slightly protected.
Cost: 500 SP >
He pick the upgrades for three of his main features, as well as the add on to his wings. Aside from that, he decided to improve both his strength, speed, and agility. He would have upgrade his mana level as well but he already reached the limit of what he can achieve at his current realm.
As he picked all the desired attributes and features, a screen popped up.
< All improvement cost 38 500 SP. Do you wish to do this purchase?
Yes/No
Note: Improving any part of the body will cause immense pain to the user. >
Alros pressed yes, and soon, his body is in agony.
-x-
When he woke up, Alros felt like his body had been pounded by 10 sledgehammer at once, aiming to break his body absolute prejudice. He stood up, thankful that it is only sensation as he would have scream in pain if he was truly hurt.
He opened the menu and looked at his status.

"It should be enough for now," he then check on his SP. He know have only 2 540 SP left, but the investment is worth it. He could tell his strength improve drastically. In fact, he felt like he is a match to high B-ranks to maybe even low A-ranks.
Then again, it is merely conjuncture. He could never be sure of it until he face off against opponent of such caliber, and he did not plan to, at least before he get used to his strength.
In fact, training himself will took priorities, and maybe, he can find some weak B-rank monsters to test his strength on.
"How about this? Day time is for mission with the time after finishing those spend on training. Then night before sleeping, I will spend my time learning more about magic and new spells,"
While he can learn new spells by just using SP, he had used nearly all of it. Then again, it is possible to learn new spells and improve the one already learned through Grimoire, which he had bought but not used until know.
In hindsight, it is a dumb move but he now knew better, so at least thing are salvageable. The Grimoire, all first volume, is about Lust, Demon, and Flame Magic. If he manage to learn the basic of it, then would see if it is better to get the second volume, or learn some new type of spells to add more to his combat ability.
He slapped himself hard at the moment. "Don\'t overdo it. Do one thing at a time. First, get used to new demon abilities. Second, learned magic. As for missions, that is necessity and will be done every day,"
Nodding to himself, he then check the map of system space, before pointing at an empty spot. "This will be the best place to train myself. Just have to inform Laili,"
[ You call, Master. ]
"I want you to create walls over this section," he pointed at the area, "this will be where I train my combat abilities," he explained.
[ Is that so? Then I will get to it, Master. ]
Alros could see the walls already created and arranged. While the area in question is large, it need to be in case he manage to create a powerful space. The large area is just to make sure no being is in range of his spells.
After all, those are what he worried about. His claws and tails could not do too much in causing mass destruction.
