Chore Granting Sorcerer Volume 3 Chapter 10 part 4

 
This technique is not one that elevates both parties. It’s just a technique to press the opponent’s head to the ground.
 
I stand alone in the sacred forest, feeling empty.
 
I abandoned my status, honor, and responsibilities, betraying many people, yet I gained nothing. I didn’t even achieve a small wish.
 
—No, not yet.
 
Ending it like this would be uninteresting.
 
There might still be unexplored possibilities.
 
I turn my mind as I did earlier. I deliberately avoid setting victory as my goal. I calculate the possibilities on my side. With a flexibility close to daydreaming, I examine my mind, skill, and body.
 
Yes, I see.
 
The form is still vague, but it holds great potential. It’s quite close to the shape I desire.
 
I have obtained the seed of the idea. From here on, it’s too uncertain, so I have no choice but to test it in practice.
 
What I realized now is the true essence of imbuement magic, not my true essence or that of the [Puppeteer]. There’s still another realm beyond this.
 
“Stand up.”
 
I deliberately released the reverse enhancement on the Horned Ape.
 
The Horned Ape stood up and leaped at me.
 
“Wait.”
 
Of course, it lacked momentum. I stopped it by striking its head down.
 
“Alright, [Analyze], [Construct]…”
 
While it was in pain, I subjected the Horned Ape’s body to analysis.
 
I should have released the reverse enhancement earlier. Well, it’s a minor error. I identify the viewpoint, force point, and action point from the minute displacements of the joints. Simultaneously, I create the code. This heightened state seems strong in parallel processing.
 
“Okay, imbued. You can come now.”
 
When I took a step back and gave permission, the Horned Ape stood up hesitantly and looked around.
 
It seemed unable to grasp the situation. It was bewildered by the changes in its body. But, as expected, it soon realized that it had become stronger.
 
The Horned Ape grinned.
 
The swordplay resumed. I engaged. It was faster than before.
 
The beast’s eyes regained their glowing intensity.
 
I was a little pleased. The claws grazing my cheek gave me a slight sense of danger.
 
Refreshing, refreshing. This should be fun for a while.
 
But, it’s still not enough. This isn’t it. This won’t take me to the top. Simply applying enhancement won’t catch up to me.
 
“[Stagnate]”
 
I stopped it again. The Horned Ape fell without time to brace itself.
 
It seemed the Horned Ape still couldn’t fully control its body.
 
Its form wasn’t bad, but its attacks were reckless. The feats possible with my enhanced brain were impossible for an ordinary monster.
 
I pondered what to do. Having grasped the main issues, I posed the question to my brain again. Within seconds, the answer came back.
 
I see, that’s the way to do it.
 
I rewrote the code. The key was subtlety and a change of perspective. It’s not about enhancement or reverse enhancement. Just as medicine and poison are fundamentally the same, both actions are equal in purpose and should not be distinguished.
 
“Imbued. Move.”
 
I switched the enhancement applied.
 
The Horned Ape, still undeterred, leaped at me again.
 
But it didn’t work out.
 
“Gaah! Argh!”
 
Its joints wouldn’t move that way; I had adjusted the friction. The futile movement caused a painful reaction.
 
“That’s not it. No, that’s not it. There’s too much waste… Try various things.”
 
The nature of the enhancement should be somewhat apparent from the feel of it.
 
This is guidance. It’s my humble attempt to instruct its movements. If it moves as I suggest, it will become stronger.
 
But the Horned Ape didn’t move.
 
“Huh?”
 
Why?
 
Oh, it must be fear. Having felt pain from moving on its own, it now feels restricted in its movements.
 
I struck its face with my bare hand, sending it flying.
 
“Don’t sleep. Get up.”

I stood at its bedside and commanded.
 
But still, the Horned Ape didn’t move.
 
Upon closer inspection, it was trembling. I might have been too forceful.
 
What to do? This isn’t getting anywhere.
 
Then, I remembered something.
 
Oh, right. I can forcibly move it myself.
 
Yes, let’s start by getting it used to the enhanced movements. Begin with something extremely simple that anyone can do, like a spell that makes the body stand up on its own.
 
“[Reside in thy legs]”
 
At my chant, the Horned Ape awkwardly twisted and stood up.
 
“Alright, move.”
 
I looked it in the eye and commanded.
 
“Move.”
 
There was no further resistance.
 
Slowly, as if confirming the enhancement, the Horned Ape swung its forearm down as I guided it.
 
Yes, the lower body is also moving in sync.
 
With the slowness of teaching swordsmanship to a child, I matched its descending claw with my blade. Then, still slowly, I brought the other blade towards the Horned Ape. The Horned Ape, while slowly confirming the enhancement, used its left arm claw to defend.
 
I repeated this process. The form was taking shape.
 
I sped up the reactions, making sure it understood the enhancement the moment it received it, allowing no other movements. Creating a situation where it could only move as intended.
 
Hey, don’t make such a scared face. Moving this way makes you much stronger than moving freely.
 
Gradually, the speed increased.
 
We were still at the stage where I had to break its nose to make it accept the enhancement. The real deal was next, when I would stretch the muscle fibers I had chosen.
 
The horned ape’s forearm suddenly swelled, catching him by surprise. As I had chosen, his claws extended forward with a sharp, high-pitched sound.
 
It was a perfect swing.
 
All animal movements rely on muscles. By prohibiting other movements and only moving the target muscle, I can completely control the horned ape.
 
Wait, “control”?
 
That word popped into my head, and the dots connected.
 
The [Puppeteer] is merely a symbolic chant.
 
In practice, it’s just attaching a tag to a complex main chant and reading the characters inscribed on that tag. These characters are theoretically just names, so they can be anything. Often, people choose words from ancient languages that sound appropriate, but they don’t hold deep meaning.
 
However, occasionally, the symbolic chant contains words of inherent significance.
 
It’s something you only realize when you compose the main chant yourself. After it’s completed, a word that naturally fits the magic sometimes comes to mind.
 
Finally, I understood. This is the essence.
 
But I’m not there yet. I need to process the movements of both of us with a single brain.
 
I push my brain harder. I’m confident I won’t black out from this. Have I gotten used to it? Or has my brain been remade? Or have the impurities been removed, reducing resistance?
 
Probably all of the above. If I’m certain, it should be fine.
 
I vomit, expelling everything from my digestive system, mixed with a bit of blood.
 
Am I reaching my limit? My vision isn’t just overlapping; the edges are starting to sparkle. But my body still moves energetically.
 
Faster, faster.
 
Now, I have control.
 
“Let’s begin.”
 
I charged at the horned ape. The horned ape charged at me.
 
As we passed each other, a sharp slash came flying at me. The blade I extended to block it was easily knocked away.
 
It was beyond my expectations. If I hadn’t known his movement, my arm would’ve been severed along with the blade.
 
I gripped the remaining blade with both hands.
 
It was a familiar stance. Though my moves were fewer, it had its own advantages.
 
The overlapping vision showed the movements of both me and the horned ape.
 
The path to reach him was calculated in more detail, deeper. Of course, I chose the hardest, most dangerous, and thrilling path.
 
I swung straight down.
 
The horned ape didn’t counterattack but twisted his body just in time to dodge.
 
His claws came at me from below and the right. I blocked the right with the flat of my blade and the lower one with the soles of my feet, retreating.
 
I take the right side with the belly of my machete and the bottom side with the soles of my feet, That, too, I made him pursue.
 
The horned ape had the overwhelming advantage.
 
As I retreated, I was at a disadvantage, so I put everything into my counterattack.
 
The horned ape knew my moves, and I knew the horned ape’s moves, so the kick aimed at my right arm as a decoy–
 
Wait, which was it?
 
Ultimately, I took the full brunt of the attack.
 
Although I managed to take a defensive stance, I was thrown hard against the trunk of a large tree.
 
Of course, this would happen. I’m controlling him to fight me, so he’s continuously countering my moves, and if there’s a finishing blow, it will hit me.
 
This path only leads to death. Only by avoiding it can I proceed. Ascend. What awaits beyond is another finishing blow.
 
“This is getting fun!”
 
I spat blood. My consciousness blurred, but I forcibly pulled it back with reinforcement. My internal organs were damaged.
 
I couldn’t fight much longer.
 
I thought to myself, what a terrible self-made performance.
 
If there were people who believed magic should be used correctly, they would surely scold me.
 
The horned ape was also improving. I made him improve. Up until now, he seemed too focused on his arms. Claws aren’t just on his hands; they’re also weapons on his feet, which can be used more effectively.
 
I dodged his right arm, exposing his back. I knew what would come next: his left arm, right leg, or maybe his left leg.
 
Well, I knew because I was controlling him, but in any case, it was the hardest method for me.
 
A left roundhouse kick came. His legs spread wide, already pushing off the ground.
 
I was right in the middle of the horned ape’s range.
 
Dodging was impossible. I tightly gripped the blade with both hands, trying to block with the blade and cut through his leg. But instead, the claws collided with the blade, and due to the difference in mass, I was pathetically flung backward.
 
I was now airborne.
 
A second or so of airtime, a huge opening.
 
I couldn’t counter in time.

  1. Thank you for the update…
    Vim is acting crazier than Rita Heinkes… Should I be impressed or concerned with record breaking insanity level?
