Tsuraguki knelt in front of him; she held his hand and kissed the back of it like a knight. Hikaru sighed and felt that Tsuraguki's actions were similar to Sherwin's; both of them must have been terminally ill with the Chuunibyou disease. However, Tsuraguki was from space, so he thought that maybe this was the culture of her people.
Hikaru nodded and said: "Okay, stand up."
Tsuraguki stood up and inched closer to him because she was taller than Hikaru; when she stood next to him, she looked like a bodyguard protecting him.
Hikaru started sweating. He felt like this image was a bit conflicting, but he didn't want to comment on it. Hikaru saw that Tsuraguki's stats were unbelievably high, so he asked Rika: "Rika, is it normal for Tsuraguki's stats to be this high?"
[Yes, Master.]
Then he continued speaking: "But when Vuni was summoned, her stats were very low."
[Master, have you forgotten that Vuni's powers were sealed? If all of Vuni's seals are released, she would be very strong; at least, she would be on par with Tsuraguki, but she won't be weaker than her.]
Hikaru frowned and asked: "Then how do I release Vuni's seal?"
[It's impossible, master. Vuni's seal can only be released by herself; besides, if Vuni is unsealed, her enemies might discover her.]
Hikaru sighed and thought that it might take a long time for Vuni to release her seals. At the very least, he had to wait until he was stronger than Vuni's enemies.
Tsuraguki stood beside Hikaru, her hands on his shoulders as if to reassure or protect him. She looked at Hikaru with love and respect. Hikaru sighed, and he thought that Tsuraguki was too concerned about him; however, he didn't hate it either. On the contrary, the feeling of having a guardian made him feel secure.
Hikaru considered for a moment and decided to level up Tsuraguki with the M.E skill, because if he allowed her to level up by herself, the bonus attribute points will be low. However, if he used the M.E skill to level her up, at each level she will get the maximum attribute points.
[Ding! To level up Tsuraguki from level 01 to level 10, you need to pay 100,000,000 soul points.]
"Accept!"
[Ding! leveled up successfully.]
…
Name: Tsuraguki
Race: Blood Moon Rabbit
Rarity: UR+
Level: 10
Agility: 300,000 (+900,000)
Strength: 300,000 (+ 900,000)
Intelligence: 120,000 (+360,000)
…
Hikaru saw Tsuraguki's stats and thought, "So from level 1 to level 10, she gets 10,000 points of agility and strength, and her intelligence increases by 5,000 points at each level."
He was also frightened by Tsuraguki's unbelievably high stats. Out of all the people he had viewed their information, she was the one with the highest stats.
Hikaru then asked Rika: "If Tsuraguki fights Morital, who will win?"
[She will turn both Morital and the mysterious woman to dust in just 5 seconds.]
Hikaru took a deep breath and felt that Tsuraguki was too powerful. He started to imagine how powerful she would be in the future. As he was thinking about this, he curiously asked Rika: "Can I see Tsuraguki's past or why she behaves like this?"
Rika knew what action of Tsuraguki that Hikaru was referring to; yes, it was the act of intimacy with him, even though she had only just met Hikaru for the first time.
[Master, you can see the reason, but only a little bit of it. However, since Tsuraguki is a monster you summoned, you don't need to pay for soul points.]
Hikaru nodded: "That's fine."
[Ding! implementing the Cosmic Insight skill.]
The scenery around him began to change, and he saw the vast universe. There, a girl with red hair and rabbit ears was floating with a sword in hand, and her cloak was fluttering without wind.
That girl was floating in space without any protective clothing or oxygen tanks, and that girl was Tsuraguki. However, the next scene horrified him.
Tsuraguki wielded the sword and slashed out a streak of light. That streak of light was hundreds of kilometers long, and it instantly sliced apart countless planets and stars in its path. Those planets exploded, and an entire region of the universe lit up.
Then, the image changed again; he saw Tsuraguki standing among countless corpses; those corpses had all kinds of shapes, and some were from different races, even humans. Those corpses floated in the space around Tsuraguki; at this time, she was also heavily injured, and her body was covered in blood. Her sword was also broken, and her outer armor was torn in many places.
Suddenly, an eye appeared in space. The eye was so big that it could match the sun. The eye was staring at Tsuraguki, and suddenly, a voice that echoed throughout the universe said: "Tsuraguki, do you think that no one can defeat you?"
Tsuraguki smiled and used the broken sword to point at the eye. Her voice becoming extremely wild, she then said: "You talk too loud! Come on!"
The eye fluttered, as if it were angry at Tsuraguki's words. Right after that, a hundred white shadows appeared around her; those white shadows gave off a dazzling white aura like the gods of the earth.
Then... nothing more; the vision ended, and Hikaru returned to reality.
While Hikaru was immersed in using the cosmic insight skill, Tsuraguki felt her power increase in a tremendous way. She thought to herself, "This is a surprise; even if I used ancient magic to level up, it wouldn't bring me this kind of power. Besides, I feel my strength has increased by three times."
Is it an item's effect? Impossible! While I was alive, an item that gave others a 100% increase in strength was certainly an item from a god. If such an item appeared, it would lead to countless terrifying existences fighting to the death over it. However, in order to use the item, the user also has to pay a small price.
But I feel that even though my power has increased by three times, there doesn't seem to be a side effect. Plus, the effect seems to be permanent.
Tsuraguki couldn't hide the fear and surprise on her face. She remembered a time when she had fought with someone who possessed an item that could increase the person's strength by 100%. The fight between her and that person lasted for more than twenty days.
Of course, Tsuraguki won, but not because she killed the person but because of the side effect of the item the person carried. It caused the person to lose their mind and act like a bloodthirsty monster. After that, the life of the person gradually weakened, and they died from that item.
Besides that, Tsuraguki also encountered a variety of items that had the ability to increase her power, but the items without side effects that she had seen only increased 20% of her strength for 8 hours.
As for the item that Hikaru owned, it could increase her strength by three times without any side effects or time restrictions.
'Master is amazing… Since he possesses items like this, it proves that he is not ordinary. No! If information about this item is revealed, Master will surely be in danger. But it's okay; I'll protect him.
Tsuraguki thought while smiling confidently; fierce flames were burning in her eyes as she looked at Hikaru.
After seeing Tsuraguki's past, Hikaru sighed. Although she was very strong, she had too many enemies; her enemies were probably stronger than Vuni's enemies.
Even though the Cosmic Insight skill said that there wouldn't be any danger when he summoned Tsuraguki, Hikaru still felt uneasy.
Hikaru was about to level up Tsuraguki from level 10 to level 20, but it would cost him a billion soul points, so he decided to do it another time.
"Master!" Suddenly, Tsuraguki spoke up.
"Hm?"
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Tsuraguki looked at him with eyes filled with the fire of love and confidence, her hand caressing Hikaru's face.
Although he wanted to enjoy this feeling of being cared for and caressed by others, he didn't want a situation like this to continue. Tsuraguki's actions were like the actions of a prince toward a princess.
However, the vision he saw of Tsuraguki in the past made him surprised because he could not match that image with the present gentle Tsuraguki. In the past, she was a belligerent, arrogant, and confident queen who wasn't afraid of anyone. But now, seeing her treat him tenderly has made him a little... scared.
Suddenly, Hikaru asked Rika: "But I still haven't seen why Tsuraguki fell in love with me when we first met."
[The Cosmic Insight skill didn't show you her entire past, so you weren't aware. After fighting the 40 Greatest Demi-Gods, she was imprisoned inside a meteorite. Besides being tied to a stone pillar and stabbed by countless thorns, she also hadn't seen light for over 70,000 years.]
Hikaru took a deep breath and felt that what Rika had just said was horrible. He imagined that even a small wound that lasted a few days would make him uncomfortable, but Tsuraguki had been stabbed by countless thorns for over 70,000 years, and she couldn't even see the light during that time.
If it were a normal person, within ten or twenty days, they would have gone mad and lost their minds. Hikaru then finally understood why Tsuraguki behaved like that when she appeared here. It was probably because she was so overjoyed that he rescued her that she acted so intimately with him.
Just like Tsuraguki said, she was probably in despair, pain, and anger at that time. When she was summoned by Hikaru, she was saved from her faith, and even though she became his slave, at least she didn't need to suffer any more.
Suddenly Hikaru remembered something; he asked Rika: "Rika, are you saying that Tsuraguki has the ability to break the bond between me and her?"
[That's right, Master. Not only Tsuraguki but also Vuni can break the bond between you and her.]
Hikaru was startled, and he asked fearfully: "Why? Could it be that they don't need to obey my orders?"
[Exactly. Tsuraguki and Vuni both have extremely high classes. They may refuse to be summoned and break the link between the summoner and them; besides, they may not need to obey your orders. This happens because your level or strength is too low for you to bind them.]
