I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless-Chapter 381
Chapter 381
(381) Pride of the day labourers
Translator: Tseirp
Instead, he took a book out from a box .
Pictures of two men (who were very attractive) were drawn on the book .
“Sheesh, I thought it was weird . You have been getting in my way lately but you came in search of this stupid book— So you knew that I was the culprit from the start . ”
“Of course . Or rather, those talismans – – used by Magic Journalist proved my conviction . ”
Haru looked at me with eyes that shone of admiration .
No, Haru . You should know, right?
I entered this store only because I wanted to find Milky’s book .
When I saw the Magic Journalist’s talismans, I naively thought that perhaps this dry cleaner’s job was actually Magic Journalist?
When I tried checking to know if he was a Magic Journalist,
【Demonist: LV 52】
That was when it connected . Wasn’t this the culprit? If he was the culprit, he would have people’s personal belongings entrusted to him as laundry even without having to steal them .
It would uncool and a little too late to say now that I chanced upon him .
“But you made a huge mistake . If you knew that I was the culprit, why did you pass this to me?”
The dry cleaner gripped my handkerchief and Haru’s scarf in his right hand .
Then, he plunged his left hand into his item bag .
And took out 3 gems with his left hand .
One of them was releasing a faint light .
I immediately used Gem Appraisal .
Job Stealing Gem
By saying the target’s name, you can steal the target’s job and make it your own .
The skills of the stolen job can be used as your own .
The gem will break when the person who has been stolen from dies .
Used target: Monster-User
Job stealing gem!?
Furthermore, wasn’t Monster-User the job of one of the up-and-coming adventurers who attacked us? (TLN: This job, マ物使い, is different from Elize’s job)
What was he planning to do by taking that out?
“There’s a job called Monster-User capable of sealing monsters in between books and summoning them when needed . ”
Sealing monsters within books?
There were cases of snakes flying out from a Monster-User’s chest pocket but that was probably achieved by concealing a notebook-sized book in their clothes .
“With that, something like this is possible – -“
At that instant, four golden dolls appeared from inside the book – – golems .
“These golems can only serve to delay me . ”
I said as I kicked the golems away .
“Delaying you is more than enough!”
The man said as he raised my handkerchief and Haru’s scarf .
“Invoke Curse! Frenzy Curse . ”
The two other Job Stealing Gems shattered, forming black light that floated upwards and transformed into shadows shaped like me and Haru before disappearing .
Casting two curses at the same time meant that there was no cool down time for the Invoke Curse skill?
The Substitution Doll that Haru and I had made a sound and burst .
It looked like the curse was applied .
“Substitution Dolls?”
The Demonist showed an irritated expression
“Unfortunately . We prepared Substitution Dolls knowing that we are entering a curse practitioner’s home . ”
The man headed to the rear of the room .
Was he trying to flee?
I said as I cut off the right arm of the final golem .
The path would be clear with just a little more .
The man fled to a room filled with mannequins but there was no rear exit .
He was a trapped rat .
There, another two golems were waiting for me .
“Guh, it’s the final one but there’s no other way . Invoke Curse, Frenzy Curse . ”
Another shadow appeared and formed Haru’s shape before disappearing .
“Dispel . ”
I parried the incoming golem attack with my bare hands and immediately treated Haru with Dispel .
“That was the last? That was stupid, you knew that I can treat it . ”
I commented and cut down the final golem .
“You are the clueless one . Unlike Curse arts, spells have cool down time . And Job Stealing Gems are not the only things capable of invoking curses!”
The man smiled fearlessly .
“Frenzy Curse – – Goho . ”
The blood that the Demonist spat out shone black and turned into my shape .
Shit – –
The man’s job became 【Demonist: LV 1】 .
He sacrificed his level to invoke the curse but still appeared to suffer from the effects of the curse . Haru raised her sword and rushed at the man – – but a mannequin suddenly attacked her .
Damn, that mannequin was a golem too?
“The World’s Salvation – -“
The man said .
The curse would activate – – I would turn into a Berserker .
It was the end .
“ … So?”
I gloated .
It was not my end; it was his end .
“What? How …”
The man’s expression twisted as I smiled wryly .
“Maybe this is what they call the pride of a day laborer?”
I was anxious, seriously anxious .
I was sure that the frenzy curse would activate .
But .
【When under the Job Seeking skill effect, the first job can’t be changed . 】
Such a message was displayed .
That was surprisingly dangerous .
“Day laborer … I don’t understand …”
The Demonist muttered as he collapsed .
【Ichinojo leveled up . 】
【Librarian skill: Autobiography acquired . 】
It looked like the experience points for the golems came in .
I couldn’t tell the man’s job or level when I tried Job Appraisal .
He was probably dead .
“Master, the man’s appearance!?”
Haru suddenly exclaimed .
The Demonist’s face was transforming .
Horns grew on his head and his skin turned brown .
Don’t tell me there’s a second round? As I prepared myself but it appeared to not be a transformation but instead his transformation was undone upon death .
When I investigated the Demonist’s arm, I found a unique bangle .
I checked it with Accessory Appraisal .
Transformation Bangle
A bangle capable of allowing the user to transform to whatever appearance they wish .
It is not possible to change body size .
That was an amazing item . I stored it for the time being .
After that, I applied dispel on myself to remove the curse and looked around the shop . At the back of the shop, I found a human corpse with the same face as the Demonist .
It seemed that the real dry cleaner was already murdered and he was taking on his identity .
There weren’t any other notable clues so I called the guards .
“Would this resolve everything?”
I muttered to myself .
