Chương 305: Chapter 288. Origin Of Calamity 2

" Well, yes, that's what we were thinking. But continuing on from that about our Job, don't you find it strange? What I just told you?"" What do you mean? I mean, I even have Love Warrior as my 2nd Job! Our Love is more or less tailormade to have me gain that Skill!" I was somewhat confused from what Ms. Thea had said, but I reiterated what my 2nd Job was. I mean, there's a lot of focus on my Calamity Job, but Love Warrior is its own bag of worms.

It's a somewhat difficult Job to learn Skills for, I mean, when I first saw that Status explanation about gaining Skills, I was equal parts glad and perplexed by it.

Love Warrior Given to a person with a Combat Oriented Job who has a Lover and they both have mutually Fallen Deeply in Love with each other. In older times, this Job used to be a measure of just how deeply a Warrior's feelings for their Partners were. As a matter of fact, the way to gain more Skills and Abilities in this Class is by interacting with your Lover, Dear User. The more intimate the act, the better chance of gaining a Skill! So by all means, go all out! By all means, Dear User!

Use this as an excuse to get Lovey Dovey! - The Goddess Of Love.

The story of how the Job was first created was nice when I first read it so long ago and it was nice that the King was found, but I found the explanation on how to actually gain Abilities and Skills a lot more helpful. I was glad though, since it proved to me that John felt as deeply about me as I did him, but I was perplexed by the last few words. Not the Goddess Of Love's advice, I knew that John would be more than happy to get Lovey Dovey with me.

But the idea that I was doing that to gain a Skill as opposed to just wanting to be with My Husband... It just... Didn't sit right with me, which is why I still haven't explained Love Warrior to him or Anna yet." It's not about how you gain the Skill or not, Sarah. It's the question of how a Job that was created by Mortals even has Skills to learn. And also, this is just the conjecture we've reached about the Calamity Job series in general." Ms.

Thea's words swam around in my ears for a moment and they did bring to mind familiar questions in my head. I looked to Lance to see what he thought about it." Before you ask, I didn't live long enough to learn any Skills, my first battle I lost control and that was the end, I was killed by a combined force of our enemies and my comrades, I was that big of a threat at that point.

As for the Job itself, I was only told it would let me stand on equal footing with the Heroes who the other Races placed their hopes for victory in."" Continuing from his words, Sarah. Do you know how many Skills the 2nd inheritor could learn? And don't you wonder how we Demons were able to survive even after the first holders? Or what happened to the other first Calamity Job Holders?" My curiosity had grown larger and larger seemingly with every word Ms. Thea had spoken." Yes! There it is!

That same look we've all had! Don't worry, we can answer all of these questions! Let's start with a detailed answer for the first one I posed! 2nd, take it away!" Ms. Thea had an excited grin on her face as she turned to an old Demon that looked like he was nearing the end of his life and began to speak. His skin was a pale grey and he looked quite short, around 6FT if I had to guess. He was dressed in a simple black robe that covered him from head to toe and he also had a wooden staff he used to walk with.

Though now he was sitting and holding the staff in his left hand." I suppose I can, 6th." He turned from Ms. Thea and began to look at me before preparing to say what he had on his mind." Hello, I'm Martin, but I'd think it'd be easier for you to refer to me as "2nd" from now on, I've always had a difficult time with names, so I'll just call you 13th from now on. Anyways, I'm the 2nd Calamity Spear Demon. After around 5 years after Sir Lance died on the battlefield, I obtained our Job.

Now then, after obtaining the Job, I gained a Skill called Berserk Immunity after my first few battles. My Wife was able to bring me to my senses while we were fighting Dragonkin at the time. After the battle, I was able to look at the description of the Skill and that's when the mystery of Calamity Jobs started to come into focus for us." The old man rubbed his chin before continuing to speak. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site."

To start with, I gained the Calamity Job as a young man, I was 15 years old. Sir Lance was 37 when he died. As you can see, 13th, I'm an old man and Lance is still that same age. What I'm trying to say is that we take on the appearance we had shortly before our deaths." I nodded my head to 2nd's words, and he continued on with his explanation." Now, I had the Job for a few hundred years, and in that time, I only gained 1 other Skill besides Berserk Immunity."" What!?

You had it for that long and you had a total of 3 Skills to show for it!? Am I going to be stuck with those same Skills and nothing more!?"" Now, now, 13th, calm down. Listen to our words and it'll become clearer for you." 2nd just had a light smile on his face as he spoke to me. He reminded me of my Grandpas when they would come over for holidays when I was a little girl." Now then, the 2nd Skill I learned was an Attacking Skill, it was called Cataclysm Thrust.

It could be used for the price of what was half of my mana, I could use it sparingly. I'll let you read the actual description, but basically, it was an all or nothing attack, an "ultimate move" if you would."" Okay, so I can learn a strong Attacking Skill."" Yes, but I always lamented the fact that I had no real options besides looking for the right moment to use Cataclysm Thrust during battle with this Job, I ended up needing to lean on my 2nd Job more often than not.

But I just want to reiterate, 1st, or Sir Lance, wanted to be the answer for when the Heroes and the High Elves came onto the battlefield. 3rd, time for you to take over."" Okay." One of the women at the table answered 2nd's words. She turned to look at me. She had light-pink eyes and dark-red long hair that was tied in a ponytail.

She was a bit gruff looking and the 3rd eye she had in the middle of her forehead gave her a unique look that wasn't uncommon to see in Diablos, but the rest of the world might think of her as an "ogre" or something similar." I'm the 3rd holder of the Calamity Spear Demon Job, my name was Heather, but you can just call me "3rd", 13th." She wore a cool smile as she spoke, I could tell that she was a confident woman in life." Continuing on from 2nd, I gained the Job in the middle of a battle when I was 18.

Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone I shared strong feelings for until I was 20. So, I fought in battle, but I would always black out and end up hurting my comrades as well as my enemies, that changed in time when I found who would go on to become My Husband, but I didn't know it at the time. Unlike 2nd, I found through my life that I learned 5 Skills through my tenure with the Job. The 2 that 2nd has already named and 3 other Skills. The first was Spear Spikes.

A Skill that allowed me to summon hundreds of spears out of the ground. This was useful during my fights, as I could herd my enemies as well as deal damage if they weren't careful. Along with that, I gained a great Skill that I used constantly called Calamitous Mana Spear. Basically, it was an exclusive Mana Blade Spell for our Job Class. Then I gained a Skill called, Thrust Of Blight. It was something like a poison Skill. If I cut an enemy with my weapon enough times, Thrust Of Blight would instantly kill them.

I always wanted more ranged options however. Shall 4th take over?" 3rd explained her story with this Job, but then she ended her explanation with her explaining what she still felt she lacked during battle. If the pattern they've demonstrated follows, then this Job was quite something." Well, I wouldn't mind, 3rd, but as we can all tell, 13th is a bright kid, she's already figured out the point of our stories. Why not just tell her straight out, Thea? Or did you want to wait till 5th introduced you as 6th?""

No, I just like how we can all bond over this is all." A young-looking girl with long light-green hair that covered her eyes questioned Ms. Thea before she spoke to me. They all turned to me, and I waited for someone to just confirm what I was thinking about our Job." Yes, Sarah, your thinking is correct, this Job takes the experiences and wishes of the last person to possess it and makes those wants into Skills for the next Inheritor.

The Calamity Jobs were created as a way for Our People to have hope during the darkest period of Our Species history. And through some luck, it does that. The secret to the Calamity Jobs is that it accumulates the "Hopes" of us, its Users, and they become concrete realities for the next Inheritor. With the basic increase it brings to its users to start with, we've not only become as powerful as the other Races' Special Jobs, but we also gain more and more flexibility in our abilities as time rolls on.""

But if that's the case, just how many Skills can I learn at the 13th Inheritor of the Job?"" Well, we're not sure exactly? 12th learned 15 Skills before passing on, but she said that she felt like there was still more that she hadn't uncovered. With her death as well, that means at the very least, you've gained 1 more Skill than she had. If I had to guess, you're going to learn anywhere from 16-25 Skills."" But..."" How will you unlock them? Well, most show up like all the other Skills that you can learn.

Training, Requirements and a little help from your husband will probably be what you need. But it does all begin only after unlocking Berserk Immunity! That's the only common point we all shared after Lance passed on." Even though this seemed like a massive undertaking for me, I almost felt happy with this information. To be honest, I have begun to wonder how exactly I was going to make this Job work, but now I have some hope.

Before this, I was somewhat jealous of John and Anna, they seemed to be able to unlock new abilities every day, but I was stuck only learning Support Spells from Love Warrior and relying on what I've learned with Magic Spearman, but now..." Yes, that's right, you'll be able to keep up with them no problem! Speaking of which, I think it's about time you woke up!"" Huh? Why?" Ms. Thea told me something surprising as she wagged her fingers at me teasingly." Why?

Well, currently your Husband is fighting against that God from earlier and it seems like if he doesn't get help soon, he may die as well as your sister wife!"" What!?" I felt my consciousness begin to rouse from my sleep, everything was beginning to disappear around me. Just as I felt myself waking up, I heard a mixture of voices all callout to me." Make us proud, Girl!"" Don't be scared! Let the Calamity Mana run through you! A God like that will be easy pickings! Even those Counts were able to deal some damage!

You won't even need that lad's mana!"" You got this, Sarah!"
