Chapter 129

My opponent was A-Gyo.
An inflamed blade is attached to its tokkosho.
There should be some distance, but I can feel the heat.

It’s the same pattern.
As I expected.
That’s why I cast Resist Fire in advance.

But still.
It’s very hot!

The summoned monsters except for Obsidian were heading for Un-Gyo.
Of course, Resist Earth is cast.

A mistake?
Of course not.

Even if the level is lower, doesn’t mean it’s weak.
Rather than strong, maybe it’s scary?

~o~

So I am equipping Tonfas of Torture from the start.
It’s ok that I can hit it but.
It’s too big!
I can’t even hit its face
You can say that I am dissatisfied about this.

And also the tokkosho.
It won’t let go.
I have tried to make it drop.
Obsidian has tried restraining it, but it doesn’t seem to care.
What a guy.

I tried going for its wrist, but the A-Gyo block it with its other hand.
It’s adapting?
Doesn’t seem like it.
I should create an opening and make it fall by hooking its legs.
No no no.
It’s already hard enough to fight it now, I can’t be reckless.

It charges at me this time.
Normally I would have countered it, but I’ll go for the wrist.
I sandwich it with my tonfa.
And twist it.
I carried the right arm and did a reverse joint lock.
Of course, it didn’t end here.

I threw it it.
At the same time, A-Gyo’s joint was twisted in an impossible direction.
It’s broken.

So why are you still not letting go of the tokkosho?
It must have a lot of guts.

But it’s not in a state to use a weapon now.
I concentrate my attack using the tonfa at its ribs.
And kick its left arm that came swinging.

It sent a front kick flying.
I dodge and lifted the back of its knee.
And it fell easily.
I sent kicks to its crotch, and continue to hit its ribs with the tonfa.
It swings its left arm trying to stand up.
Oh, that was dangerous.
A-Gyo still has more than half of its HP left.

And it’s start showing signs of the attack that I was afraid of.
Body blow.
And a Headbutt.

Plain?
Not really.
It has an advantage with its physique, you can’t block it even if you know it’s coming.

「Root Snare! 」

I hope it would fall over.
The Root Snare caught it, but its power shredded it.
I have to use my own body than.
I dive under the foot at a very low altitude.
I somehow manage to survive the direct attack from the instep.
Of course damage is taken.
In exchange, I got a good opportunity to attack.

It fell leaving its back open.
Nice chance.

Like the Mezu, I stomp it with my foot.
Heel Hold.
I can also use my tonfa, but well.

But there is a difference in strength between this and Mezu.
It manages to swing me with just the strength of one leg.
I was blown away.
There is such a huge difference?
Well, no choice.

In exchange, its knees and ribs should be damaged more than half.
It should not be possible to attack with its state.
A-Gyo picked itself up with its left hand.
Yes.
That’s the correct choice.

「Gravity Bullet! 」

I cast the spell.
Obsidian also shot several water needles.
This time we will be the ones charging.
It should be able to withstand the impact of the spell.
There should be no problem for me to charge into it.
What if it is able to attack?

I came in contact, but the blade didn’t reach me.
It seems the spell impact has blunted the thrust.
It stops moving for a moment.
Obsidian also went and attacked its glabella.
I grab on to my tonfa.
And twisted its elbow joint.
I broke it completely.
The tokkosho on it left hand finally falls.

The fire on the blade extinguishes.
I am finally released from this heat.

I’ll finish by giving it a head thrust, A-Gyo was already near death.
The head is near me.
And also a distance that my tonfa can reach.
I took quite some damage, but was still able to kill A-Gyo.

How about Un-Gyo?
It was in a weird posture.
Senki is standing and in a defensive stance but.
Its it giving Un-Gyo a Front Choke?
No, Jericho was taking the arms and fixing it while enduring.
Are they having a competition?

Obsidian charge in and attack Un-Gyo in the forehead.
Creep was also biting on to its neck.
Oh.
They are reckless.
What about Rig?
It seems to be sticking to Senki.

Finally Senki’s left hand went under Un-Gyo’s crotch.
And lift Un-Gyo up sideways.

Oh.
It’s a Body Slam.
Aka Power Slam.
In a sense, most throwing techniques use the ground as a weapon.
It may not seem so powerful when used in wrestling.
But this is extremely dangerous.
Because this is used mostly on mats when used on opponents.
But it’s a stone floor here.
A deadly weapon.

It was very effective.
Un-Gyo’s HP went down in an instant.
And Creep wraps itself back on Jericho’s neck.

And.
The stomping attack continued.
That looks fun.

I went and joined.
Well, my legs’ strength didn’t really help a lot.

Un-Gyo trampled and finished.

~o~

~o~

Nice.
Let’s go to the relay portal.

What? Something is different.

Em… Oh, right.
The Strange Rock Salt (Holy) from the Deva King.

I have cleared the quest.

Ok.
In my mind, the priority immediately fell.

~o~O~o~

I went back to the hall.
There is another pair of Deva King statues, they’re standing as gatekeepers.
Literally, it’s a king.

It seems the battle with the last party is over.
The party is not in the hall.
Have they gone into the relay portal?

Going into the portal, there seem to be about 4 parties.
Oh, it has increased.
One of them is the party from the last battle.
Doesn’t seem like they will be going for continuous battle.
Well to be expected.

Alright.
This should be interesting.
Senki’s class change is waiting.
What are the choices?
Oh, there are 2.

~o~

Lesser Ogre

~o~

Demon. It attacks using its limbs.
Lower class of Ogre. It’s weak but possess self healing ability.
Its physique exceeds humans. Tough and strong, suitable for vanguard.

~o~

So, which?
No, I have already decided.

I choose Lesser Ogre.
Yes, I am aiming for a Red Ogre.

But there’s a problem.
Its physique has changed a lot.
I have to talk to Saki again.

~o~

It seems like the other parties were staying here since last night.
Moreover, three of the parties have formed a joint front.
They seem to be discussing something.

Whatever.
I have finished the quest.
I can now just farm experience.
Should I challenge Gozu and Mezu?

But have the Gozu and Mezu respawned yet?
If only they were closer.

~o~

I thought it was dead since two other parties have left the relay portal previously.
I tried to chase after them, but a battle has started in the hall.
The opponents were Lion-dog ( Komainu)
The party seems to be struggling since the opponents are speedy, but they should be able to
handle it somehow.
I left the area.

I took a longer route to avoid battle in the hall.
Ok.
What should I do now?

It’s still too early for lunch.
Should I challenge Gozu and Mezu?
No, Higher Gozu and Higher Mezu.

What should I do with 【Disassembly】 ?
I may have some difficulties later on.
I’ll just leave it on.

The goal was set.
Let’s go kill Gozu and Mezu.
I’ll still have enough MP to spare.
It’s enough to deal with Higher Gozu and Higher Mezu.

I recall Obsidian and summon Jean.
Obsidian’s MP has already dropped by half.
Thank you for your hard work.

~o~O~o~

There’s a Gozu and Mezu statue just at the end of the branch.
Is someone here already?
Oh well.
There are other spawn points.

How about the branch that connects to the main cave?
Oh.
It’s here.

~o~

Higher Gozu Lv.4
Phantom Enemy Target Passive
Details: Ground Attribute Light

Higher Mezu Lv.4
Phantom Enemy Target Passive
Details: Ground Attribute Dark

~o~

Alright, let’s engage after buffing.

~o~

The battle itself was quite simple.
While dodging the attacks from Mezu’s stuff, I let it run itself into the wall of the passage.
After repeating it a few times, half of its HP was already gone.
Well it’s easier said than done.
It was fast when it charges.
I can see it coming, but was still hit several times.
Needless to say, I have been buff and my armor is better than before.
But I still lost 30% of my HP.

It’s strong.
Almost at Deva King’s level.

On the other hand, Gozu was dealt with easily.
Senki have really become stronger.
Rig in taking the tank row and blocking the attacks, but still some got through.
And Senki is self recovering from the damage.
It’s a skill I don’t want to find on an enemy.
But as an ally it’s an excellent skill.

I swing my tonfa.
How many times have I hit, it finally let go of its staff.
Its attack pattern should have change.
But its attack is slightly different.
Head butt?
No, it’s try to bite.
It approaches with a row of teeth that doesn’t look like it belongs to a horse.
What the, it’s too scary.

I dive under its neck and grab onto its head, and threw it.
In form, it a one armed shoulder throw, but it’s a neck throw.
The moment it falls, I seal its movement.

「Branch Bind!」

The branches of a tree entwine and seal its movement.
This effect should last less than 10 seconds.
But that’s enough.

I neck lock using both my legs
I lift the Mezu’s jaw with both my hands, and choke it.
From the shape of its head it’s quite extreme.
I embrace it using the tonfa under its throat.
Did that do it?
It didn’t even take 1min and Mezu is dead.

Well, about Gozu.
It’s pressed against the wall by Jericho.
And Senki is punching it in the stomach.
Bullying.
It’s the work of a bully.

Gozu was killed in front of me.
Well.
Senki you have really become stronger right?

~o~

《【Physical Reinforcement】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster 『Creep』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Oh.
Just two battles and level up?
It shows that a lot of experience has been gained.

There is a rise in AGI.
I add one point into STR.

~o~

The stats seem quite even.
But it’s quite troublesome to get the higher numbers even.

~o~

Alright, how many Phantoms are left?
There was something left and quite big also.

~o~

【Tool】 Crucible of Hell Grade C+ Rarity 5 Weight 12
A pot for simmering the dead in hell.
The material characteristics close to iron.
It’s forged by the flames of hell, won’t break easily.

~o~

Oh, it’s one of those.
It’s one of the items from the Hell series.
I only feel half happy if I am given a metal item though.
It’s heavy.
Very heavy!
It’s fine since Jericho and Senki is here.
Luckily there is still space left in the 《Item Box》.

~o~

Ok.
What will happen if I encounter the next Gozu and Mezu?
The opportunity to verify came immediately.

~o~

Mezu Lv.1
Phantom Enemy Target Passive
Details: Ground Attribute Fire

Gozu Lv.1
Phantom Enemy Target Passive
Details: Ground Attribute Fire

~o~

Oh.
It looks like they’re back.
I am convinced.

I soon became disappointed.
The reason is simple.
They’re too weak.
No, they are still strong, but compared to Higher Gozu and Higher Mezu they are very weak.

I cast Resist Fire on everyone, but the battle didn’t even last for 5 minutes.
It’s subtle even if its 3 minutes.
The gap is too large.
Or rather, we have become a lot stronger.

The battle ended without casting any spell.
A Prison Guard’s Bracelet is left.
Hm?
Isn’t this the same as the levels 2 ones.

~o~

Before lunch, I hunted three pairs of Gozu and Mezu.
On the level 3 pair, Prison Guard’s Bracelet is dropped when 【Disassembly】 is set.
Is this fixed?
You get Hell’s Latch at level 4.
And Prison Guard’s Bracelet through level 3.

There is no point to keep fighting easy mobs.
There are places I know that I can continue fighting Gozu and Mezu if I want.
It would become an expedition if I went.

Let’s go for Deva King.
Alright.

~o~O~o~

There’s a Deva King statue just in front.
I am back!

There won’t be any problem even if I bring more than the required amount.
And I still have MP to spare.
I touch the statue after buffing.
And select 《Yes》.

I am once again struck with the feeling of a fierce battle.
And my intuitions are never wrong.

~o~

Deva King. A-Gyo Lv.3
Heavenly Commander Enemy Target Active
Details: Ground Attribute Fire

Deva King. Un-Gyo Lv.3
Heavenly Commander Enemy Target Active
Details: Ground Attribute Earth

~o~

Hm.
A good opponent.

In front of me a blade extends out from a tokkosho.
The flames wrap around the blade of A-Gyo.
And Un-Gyo holds a stone blade that resembles the Obsidian Stone.
But we have too, taken countermeasures.

The battle begins.

~o~O~o~

《Summoned Monster 『Jericho』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

~o~

The battle became a fierce one.
Or rather, it was normal that it became that way.

Thanks to that, Jericho also leveled up.
Alright.
It has reached level 8.

Its STR has risen.
I add one point into VIT.

Class change?

Let’s first pick up the Strange Salt (Holy) drop.
Calm down.
Ok, let’s calm down first.

~o~

Right.
Let’s move to the relay portal.
And have lunch at the same time.
Let’s do that.

~o~O~o~

There was no one in the relay portal.
I won’t be distracted.
I’m safe, I guess?

I recall Creep and summon Bunraku.
Fighting Bull’s Thigh Meat and vegetables, and the Strange Rock Salt (Holy).
I am looking forward to the MP recovery effect!

Which should I do first?
Jericho first.

Emmm.
I don’t know which to choose.
I can’t concentrate since there is something I am more concerned about.
I will make a hard copy first.
But what is the class change for summoner?

Wait no, I have to take care of this first.
Which should I choose?

~o~

I made it a Mud Golem in the end.
All of it looks great.
But the Sand Golem was in my head.
Liquefy is a phenomenon similar to that, It’s something I want as an ally.

~o~

So what does Jericho look like?
It was strange to begin with, now it’s gotten weird.
Although the body is mud, it feels the same as a humanoid one.
It’s hard when you hit it.
Let’s try Liquefy.
Its looks just like a Slime, and can change its shape.
It’s a mystery how it maintains its shape while moving.

Ok, next.
What will be the class change of a summoner?
