I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 68 68. Comparative testing
Lloyd went to the cell on the -2 floor, locked the door tightly with his backhand, and then opened the [Distortion] system, exposing the essence of human beings.

"In the name of veto!"

"In the name of veto!"

"In the name of veto!"

After using the distorted version of [Veto Declaration] three times in a row, he closed the [Distortion] system and reread the normal version of [Veto Declaration] three times.

Then he got close to the monster that was still alive and checked the damage effect.

The original [Veto Declaration] is equivalent to hitting the opponent with a sledgehammer, causing very basic physical effects such as crushing and concussion.

The twisted version of [Declaration of Veto] uses a sharp drill to cut through the opposite side, leaving a spiral-shaped penetrating wound, which has a certain penetration effect.

But the overall attack strength is not very strong. Six skills were used, but they were not able to kill a monster with a danger level of 2. The efficiency of the competition was not as good as directly using the knife...

"It seems that this skill is not suitable for direct use, but should be used in the second way."

After Lloyd concluded, he took out the psychic dagger from his waist and said loudly again:

"In the name of veto!"

This time, the spiritual power did not directly take effect on the monster, but was poured into the dagger, making the originally glowing and buzzing blade become a bit dimmer, quieter, and... It was unremarkable.

Lloyd swung his sword randomly a few times, savoring the changes in the feel of his hand.

The sharpness has indeed become much stronger, and even hard parts that usually need to be specially avoided can be easily cut.

And the monster finally couldn't hold on anymore and turned into 200 points of madness.

"Well, it seems that at low levels, you should use infusion instead of external discharge. Not only can it be infused into the blade, it should also be infused into the bullets, right?"

While summarizing, Lloyd divided the organs from the monster and completed the planned recovery.

Then he went to the munitions office and asked Andrew, the munitions priest, to apply for a firearm.

"Oh? It seems you have finally figured it out and are willing to use a gun? I thought you were an old-school person like Judge Wei Ya..."

Andrew said, taking out two firearms and placing them in front of Lloyd.

One is an old-fashioned Suifa pistol, and the other is the latest bolt-action rifle.

Then, he smiled evilly, winked at Lloyd, and said in a low voice:

"I've got a really good one here!"

As he spoke, he looked around to make sure there were no extra sights around him, and then took out a pair of exquisite and gorgeous boxes from a safe.

Open it, and inside is a handicraft-level matchlock gun.

Lloyd took a look and found that there was still some subtle spirituality left on it, but it was so weak that it had no practical value, so he asked dumbfounded:
"What year is it today?"

This kind of thing that can be regarded as an antique has only a collection value. It should be lying in a display cabinet somewhere or in the window of every craft store. I really don’t know why it appears in a place like the military commissary?
But Andrew regarded it as a treasure, quickly put it away, and explained in a low voice:

"I occasionally help with some good stuff here. Are you interested?"

"Not at all, I'll just use this."

Lloyd picked up the old-fashioned flintlock pistol without hesitation.

Mainly due to portability considerations, he did not choose a newer bolt-action rifle.

As for Andrew's 'good stuff', he didn't bother to ask.

The huge Brilliant Religion and the huge Holy Inquisition are destined to be indispensable.

What's more, in the No. [-] Tower, which is responsible for the training and assessment of newcomers, there are always some newcomers from well-off families who will be interested in this kind of 'good stuff'.

But Andrew didn't forcefully sell it to Lloyd. Seeing that he was not interested, he helped him go through the gun-holding procedures as if nothing happened. The process was much looser than applying for a psychic blade, and it was an equipment that was not taken seriously.Lloyd thought for a moment and asked in a low voice:

"What if I find something good in the future?"

"Welcome to me."

Andrew smiled and handed a box of pellets to Lloyd.

It seems that those who can work in a department like the Munitions Department have some skills and connections.

........................

After a brief interlude, Lloyd returned to level -2 and continued his testing.

He filled the barrel with bullets, shouted a slogan, raised his hand and fired at the monster not far away.

bang~
A shallow scratch appeared on the wall behind the monster.

Missed?The feel of this gun is too weird, right?
Lloyd complained in his mind, reloaded the projectile without believing in evil, and shot again.

This time, he succeeded in leaving a shallow scratch on the floor at the monster's feet...

Fortunately, the cell was extremely strong and could not be shaken by this kind of firearm.

Ahem, the sensitivity is set too high!

Lloyd made up for himself, approached the monster face to face, and fired the third shot.

Hit the bullseye!

He continued to pour power into the bullets and fired several times.

No bullets!

"What? I hit pretty accurately..."

Lloyd blew on the muzzle of the gun, and also on himself, and then checked the injuries caused by the bullets on the monster.

The damage effect is surprisingly good, a bit stronger than the infused dagger. After just a few shots, the monster has 200 insanity points.

Especially the twisted version, it can actually make round bullets produce a tumbling effect that only rifled guns can have, and the penetration is quite good, punching through the monster's thick body.

"Not bad, not bad, there is another attack method, and it is very powerful."

Lloyd nodded with satisfaction, and mentally compared the lethality of [Declaration of Veto] and [Realm of Distortion].

Objectively speaking, without bragging, it is actually still slightly better than [Distorted Realm].

The second use of that skill can cause physical distortion. Although the force is not strong, as long as you dare to use inspiration to lock it, you can directly act on the enemy's vulnerable parts, causing more effective damage.

[Declaration of Veto] does not have such a direct attack function, but it consumes less spiritual energy, does not rely on inspiration, and is more unpretentious to use.

But in the final analysis, the real power of these two skills is not this simple and crude direct killing, but one focuses on control; the other focuses on multi-function.

It's really inferior to the damage output. It's faster than using swordsmanship directly.

"They are all good skills, but the level is a bit low. Keep working hard!"

Lloyd whispered, clenched his fists vigorously, then quickly completed the subsequent recycling process and left the cell.

　After receiving the notice from the editor, it will be put on the shelves on the [-]st of next month.

　　I will work hard to prepare and deposit the manuscript, and I hope you will continue to support me.
