'As for my current most plausible method to draw the demon god into my side, my First Order skill should be able to convince him. But I dare not use the First Order skill lavishly since it is considered as my last resort skill.'
'If I used the First Order skill to train it, I will lose my hole card as the restrictions in its usage may not be that high to the point that I have to sacrifice something, but it is something that I can't afford.'
'My First Order skill is the only thing I can use to deter the gods and possibly slay them. But if I couldn't use it because I had already used it before, then that would be a loss on my side.'
As someone who was born with the mindset of a businessman, Keith mostly determines his next course of action by calculating the gains and losses of the results of his actions. If the losses outweigh the gains, then Keith wouldn't do that and he would find an alternative way that could reverse the situation.
'To use my First Order skill without making it my loss but also training it as well, then I could only use it during another monster invasion. If my Eyes of Heaven aren't mistaken, Arcadia should be able to access the dimensional gate a week from now.'
'I can go on a rampage after the monster invasion occurred a week from now. After all, monsters don't have human rights so I can pretty much torture, kill, and use them as training dummies.'
When Keith planned that in his mind, he headed to his hotel room. He flew to the window using his cloth wings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough he could use his mana manipulation to levitate himself, it took more mana consumption than transforming the IVC into a pair of cloth wings. Not to mention, using the IVC would improve his control over it.
Currently, Keith's control over the IVC was almost comparable to treating it as an extension of his body. If his control reached perfection, Keith theorized that he could create extra cloth limbs using his IVC and then equip those limbs with weapons, thereby achieving multiple offense advantages against his opponent.
His Indestructible Versatile Clothes was like a living entity but at the same time, not. It could be considered as semi-sentient as it was programmed to follow Keith's thoughts and words and if it wasn't intelligent, it couldn't even listen to Keith's commands.
So his Indestructible Versatile Clothes was like a program as it could execute his commands but it didn't possess any awareness which was much to Keith's liking. Keith could barely trust his subordinates, let alone a talking piece of cloth that could potentially betray and strangle him to death.
Keith might be too cautious and pessimistic that it resulted in him being paranoid, but such a personality of his allowed him to become successful in life. If he was naive and reckless, he would have already taken advantage of those greedy politicians.
If Keith was taken advantage of by someone, that was because he allowed it. Otherwise, he would retaliate.
An excellent example of that was Sherry who took advantage of him. He allowed it because he, as a man, knew the importance of finding a wife. He wasn't a eunuch so he might as well put his dragon to good use. It was rare for him to find a girl that was not only to his liking, but also trustworthy.
Thinking about Sherry, Keith hurriedly exited his room and headed to Sherry's room. This time, Keith learned his lesson but he didn't knock on the door and directly barged inside.
Turning the doorknob, Keith found that it wasn't locked so he pushed the door and opened it. When he entered the room, his instincts flared up as they sensed danger!
Instantly, he felt someone's presence behind him! Within Keith's vision, he saw a transparent silver knife placed near his neck.
'Teleportation?!'
Keith was astonished as even with his Eyes of Heaven, he didn't see anyone sneaking up behind him.
Remember that the Eyes of Heaven could see anything regardless of speed and distance. So even if someone were to move at the speed of light in front of Keith, Keith would still be able to see his figure very clearly.
But in this case, Keith hadn't seen someone approach his backside even with his eyes of Heaven. And because of that, Keith concluded that his opponent had used teleportation magic to teleport behind him.
Of course, Keith wasn't worried. Even if someone stabbed his back, he had the method to counter it. After all…
In an instant, the azure green magic cape draped on Keith's back expanded in size and wrapped the enemy behind him! Noticing the unusual cape on Keith's back, the opponent didn't retreat but used the transparent knife to cut Keith's neck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut before the transparent knife could reach a centimeter near Keith's neck, an azure green cloth wrapped Keith's neck and blocked the transparent knife. The transparent knife came into contact with the azure green cloth but it couldn't cut through the azure green cloth.
Since his opponent chose to attack instead of retreat, the azure green magic cape managed to tie his opponent. Keith's opponent couldn't escape the tentacles-like cloth that assaulted them so his opponent couldn't resist when the cloth tentacles tied all of their limbs.
Without turning his head to look at his opponent's face, Keith already knew who attacked him.
"I presume you have already made a breakthrough in your magic skills, Sherry."
Hearing Keith's words, Sherry behind him smiled and spoke, "You went easy on me. If I wasn't your opponent, they would have already lost their life"
Sherry's words were sweet and alluring, even though the two of them had fought each other before.
After confirming that it was indeed Sherry behind him, Keith released Sherry from the bindings of his azure-green magic cape.
Facing Sherry, Keith commented, "No, even if it was you, as long as you truly wanted to kill me, I wouldn't hesitate to kill you."
Keith was oblivious that his words reminded Sherry of the past timeline.
Sherry wryly replied, "I know you would. But that won't happen, as I won't kill you but only love you."
To ease the atmosphere, Keith took out something from his takeout paper bag and handed it to Sherry.
"Have a burger."
