Chapter 914 Cap 912: Calamity Number
While the Hero was talking to his mother, I left unnoticed, it was written on his face that he didn\'t like to know that his mother was staying with me.
When I entered the inside of the Ship I immediately realized what Nicole did, spatial expansion magic, I can feel the spatial element in the walls, floor, and ceiling.
But I don\'t know how far it went with this magic, I can\'t say how much it expanded the space, but it could be up to 30% bigger than the size of the ship itself, that means that the real size of the interior is already that of a castle.
Undaunted by the first thing I noticed, I kept walking, I saw people of many races carrying boxes, arranging new furniture, cleaning the corridors, putting up paintings and some had parts of the walls open as they seemed to be doing maintenance on something.
I kept walking and noticed that some of the corridors had all the walls open showing countless magic circles along with countless Spiritual Runes all over the wall, I who only study attack magic didn\'t understand what I was seeing.
I also saw a lot of magic crystals with many different shapes and metal magic items on the walls, I could feel the magic leaking from these magic circles being wasted, that\'s what Nicole said that still needed more work before finalizing.
I didn\'t understand what I was seeing but it was still very interesting, I\'ve always been curious so I\'m not going to miss an opportunity to see more of this Ship.
I kept walking until I found an open door, what was inside was a luxurious room with hundreds of paintings stored inside, this must be where they kept these things until they finished packing the Ship.
I keep looking and find several things, a large room full of tables that must be the cafeteria, a large room with a heated pool, and a room that I\'m sure was made with Lilith in mind from the scary things I found there.
I also found a room with a pink door that when I entered I noticed that the entire floor was padded and a scent of flowers was in the air, there were paintings that would leave a person drawn red as a tomato paintings on the walls.
"I think it\'s best not to think about it too much." (I)
I keep walking and I see a library, it\'s not a big library, but when I saw the books I realized that it only had stories, there was nothing for study, it seems that this was made for people who are looking to relax.
I visited many rooms realizing that there was even a casino until I found the place where my sister was facing Diana, it was a room that had shelves with different weapons on the walls.
The place had a seating area for a few dozen people to see those who were inside a dirt field surrounded by a barrier, this room was huge.
I looked at the two people fighting with smiles on their faces inside the barrier, none of them were using skills or magic, they were just fighting with their martial arts and combat experience.
Diana was naturally faster than my sister but second to my sister in strength, I saw Diana perform a combo of a side kick, a spin with another side kick using her other leg before using her sword to slash the other side up followed by several slashes with both swords at high speed.
My sister defended the two kicks using her arms and the sword attacks she defended using her claws hitting the side of the swords to force them to change direction, but since Diana\'s speed was higher and she couldn\'t defend herself from all the attacks, she he chose to avoid most dodging until in one of the attacks he dodged grabbed one of Diana\'s swords with his tail and pulled her closer where he punched her in the side which threw Diana into the barrier.
Diana hit the barrier with her feet as leverage to throw herself on top of my sister, seeming unaffected by the last blow.
"Thanks." (I)
"I\'m sorry for her insistence." (Bianca)
Behind me a hand that was almost reaching for me was completely tied before the person in question was thrown to the side near the seats with gag in the mouth, without turning I thank Priestess behind my back for preventing her companion from continuing to harass me.
"These two are amazing, I don\'t think Alan would be able to fight either of them." (Bianca)
"In a fight like this, I get beaten up every time, one has a lot of fighting experience and the other has huge natural combat instincts." (I)
"But to be able to fight so well against one of the Living Calamities, I am deeply surprised." (Bianca)
"So you noticed..." (I)
"I almost didn\'t notice, his strength was greatly diminished, but with the Servant of Blood by his side, it wasn\'t difficult to figure out who it was." (Bianca)
I look to the stands where Margareth was looking at the barrier while holding a tray with bottles of blood and juice in one hand while the other held towels.
"My Temple has many problems with its sisters, but at the same time they are grateful, they often take the law into their own hands without considering the consequences and often exaggerate what they do." (Bianca)
"Is your Temple going to cause me trouble?" (I)
"No, she might be weaker, but as far as we know the other two Living Calamities aren\'t, just don\'t let it cause any major confusion." (Bianca)
-------------
Two hours later I was at the bar drinking with a beautiful High Priestess.
"So you think it won\'t work?" (I)
"You didn\'t understand until now, did you?" (Yara)
"In stats, there are usually no negative numbers, at least not normally." (Yara)
"There is no such thing as negative strength or negative agility, just as there is no negative defense or negative intelligence." (Yara)
"But it\'s a fact that my luck is negative, I\'ve been unlucky since the day I was born, I\'ve been close to death more times than I care to remember, and absurd things happen so often it makes me wonder if the world is trying to get me kill." (I)
"The only possibility would be a curse or abnormal status effect, and even then, as far as I know, a negative number represents more than you realize." (Yara)
"Negative numbers are against the natural order of things, each negative point represents 100 positive points, if your luck is negative then the number you are misleading, multiply by 100 or 200 to have a more real number." (Yara)
"That\'s why negative status numbers are known by some as the Calamity Number." (Yara)
"..." (I)
"A normal person would have 30 to 100 luck, Heroes would easily have more than 500 luck and can reach up to 1000 while Champions and Saints can exceed that." (Yara)
"That... that\'s... a scary thought..." (I)
I\'m (-99) lucky, just multiplying that by a hundred is (-9900), just that thought drenched my back in a cold sweat and made me want to cry.
