Chapter 348 Part 3
《【Short Katana】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Telomere』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
This time, only the 【Short Katana】 Skill leveled up first.
Oh well, there’s nothing I can do about that.
I had a few battles where I indulged in some dual wielding.
I had the Quartz Illuminated Sword in my right hand.
And in my left hand, I had the Lesser Sword Dragon’s Short Sword.
This is what I’ve been trying out.
And it feels good.
Telomere’s AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose SPI as her second stat increase.
Telomere Vampire Lv9 → Lv10 (↑1)
DEX 17
AGI 27 (↑1)
INT 31

Hmm…
How’s Telomere’s MP bar?
It’s somehow managed to stay at around 90%.
Her Suck Blood ability is great.
She’s been using it a lot today.
Let’s have her continue to participate in today’s hunt.
She’s a great source of damage.
There’s someone else who can suck blood from our enemies.
That’s Florin.
He can restore his own HP and inflict enemies with Poison at the same time.
Sometimes, I can see the enemy monsters standing still, probably because of his Memory Lapse Skill.
There are many opportunities for him to take all sorts of damage whenever we’re fighting Burkas, but this has only been bothering me less and less.
He also might end up with a stat penalty, but so far he has been really reliable.
The bloodsucking gang is scary.
《【Short Katana】 Level Up!》
《You have acquired the【Short Katana】 Skill 【Body Slash Draw】!》
《【Dual Wield】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Abyss』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
What time is it?
It’s 9:40 PM.
I’ve already forgotten about going somewhere else.
What’s up with this Body Slash Draw Skill?
Besides, I already have one called Gauntlet Slash Draw.
Well, in any case, I don’t think I’ll ever use it.
This can be done without needing to use a Skill.
Abyss’ STR increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose VIT as his second stat increase.
Abyss Skeleton Fighter Lv8 → Lv9 (↑1)
DEX 20
AGI 20
INT 13
STR 17 (↑1)

The 【Long Sword】 Skill hasn’t leveled up at all after I switched to a dual wielding fighting style.
Hmm…
Should I try switching back?
【Long Sword】 weapons are essentially wielded with both hands.
Perhaps this Skill won’t gain any experience points if I’m dual wielding?
Well, that kinda makes sense, but…
It’s still a bit of a pain.
Let’s go back to using only the Quartz Illuminated Sword.
I’ll also change my lineup.
I’m recalling Naraku.
He will be replaced with Peptide.
I should aim to make him stronger too while I’m at it.
《【Long Sword】 Level Up!》
As expected, dual wielding will prevent this skill from leveling up.
After switching back, it leveled up quite quickly.
Hmm…
Long Sword, huh?
And Short Sword, too…
It’s nice to have new Skills, but I don’t have any weapons that make me want to use them.
Let’s leave that as homework for later.
I’ll continue to fight using only the Quartz Illuminated Sword.
This weapon feels way too nice!
《Summoned Monster『Kurama』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Kurama has also leveled up.
Things are going so well that I can’t stop smiling!
Kurama’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose AGI as his second stat increase.
Kurama Gohou Lv7 → Lv8 (↑1)
DEX 24 (↑1)
AGI 21 (↑1)
INT 11

So, how’s getting items going?
That’s also going well.
I stopped counting along the way.
I got plenty of Phantom Jumping Horse Hide and Phantom Dream Horse Hide.
Is this enough to make new equipment?
No.
Taking Senki into consideration, I have my doubts whether this will be enough.
I’m honestly not sure.
Well, there’s still time.
Let’s continue hunting.
I’ll return Kurama and summon Tigris.
What about Taylor?
I’ve decided to train him along with Apnea and Outerreef the next time I go to the sea.
Having too many monsters to train is certainly troublesome.
《【Short Katana】 Level Up!》
《【Katana】 Level Up!》
《【Long Sword】 Level Up!》
《【Tree Magic】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Florin』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Oh boy.
We’ve certainly cleaned up quite a lot of monsters.
It’s definitely not difficult at all to encounter enemies here even without using Call Monsters.
And yet, I’m not dissatisfied with the difficulty level of these monsters.
That’s how scary it is.
Things are going so good it’s scary.
Florin’s AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose INT as his second stat increase.
His numbers have lined up a little.
Florin Poisonous Bat Lv8 → Lv9 (↑1)
DEX 20
AGI 30 (↑1)
INT 13 (↑1)
STR 13
VIT 13

What time is it?
It’s exactly 11 PM.
It’s time for some changes.
I’ll recall Florin and summon Obsidian.
Obsidian’s MP bar has fully recovered.
I know it hasn’t been that long, but I hope he’ll do his best.
How long should I keep going?
Should we keep hunting until Peptide levels up?
Things are going so well it’s making me want to keep going.
What kind of Magic is set on the Quartz Illuminated Sword?
Let’s keep it set to Tree Magic.
It’s been working just fine, so there’s no need for me to change it.
《【Evade】 Level Up!》
《【Darkness Resistance】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Peptide』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
In the end, we kept going until Peptide leveled up!
And what time is it?
It’s 12:30 AM.
Oh well, I guess we did go past midnight today.
Peptide’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose AGI as his second stat increase.
Peptide Desert Scorpion Lv7 → Lv8 (↑1)
DEX 24 (↑1)
AGI 10 (↑1)
INT 8

What’s the plan?
There was none.
As a result, the time was spent on training sword and katana-related Skills, hunting for items, and making my Summoned Monsters stronger.
I’ve certainly gotten some good results in that regard.
But exploration hasn’t progressed at all.
What about tomorrow?
There are some Summoned Monsters under my control that haven’t had a chance to be very active recently, you know?
Maybe I should give them a chance.
Well, that’s okay.
Let’s move out tomorrow.
Let’s go through S2W4 and check out the S3W4 Map.
And once night falls, we’ll return to this S2W5 Map and hunt for more items.
Delicious?
The night is definitely delicious.
The monsters themselves are a bit of a pain to deal with.
But I’m not bothered by that.
Professor 【Disassembly】 seems to be very active as well.
There’s no reason for me to let that get away from me.
