「Pitfall!」

I hit the white demon with a Lv.10【Earth Magic】attack spell.

Its HP bar went down to about 40%.

The white demon fell into the hole.

My objective was not to deal damage.

My goal was to limit its options for escape.

If it couldn’t come out of the hole, it would be easier for me to hit it with attack spells.

But it slowly came crawling out.

Right as it popped its head out, I wrapped my Black Rope around its neck.

Afterwards, I jumped into the hole myself.

I was hanging by the white demon’s neck.

Flames began to violently burst out around its neck, and its HP bar was visibly dropping.

Was that enough?

Its HP bar was decreasing, but I hadn’t taken it out yet.

One last push.

「Enemy Burn!」

The whole body of the white demon was enveloped in flames.

The hand of the white demon shot up into the air.

Having let go of the walls, it fell into the hole.

Of course, I fell down with it.

I landed hard on the bottom of the hole.

But I was the first to get back up.

I quickly delivered an elbow strike and a few kicks.

I wrapped behind the white demon and pulled on the rope again.

More flames burst out around its neck.

I followed up with a back throw.

But it didn’t hit the ground.

Instead, it hit the wall of the hole.

As it slid to the ground, I pulled out my Vajra sword.

I stabbed the sword through its forehead.

And with that, the white demon went down.

Slowly, the pitfall went back to normal.

The white demon’s body disappeared.

it dropped a gem.

It read “Wisdom”.

Hmm…

Two remaining?

But wait…

I had already faced the five coloured demons.

Along with the white demon.

What other demons would I still have to face?

There was obviously something I was missing.

Looked like there was still a lot of wandering to do.

There were 16 points on the map Muneo gave me.

There were two more points on the other side of the flooded section of the cave.

I changed up my Summon Monster team got ready to head there.

But once I got there and defeated the demons, I didn’t get any more gems.

They were normal red and blue demons.

What about the wind and thunder gods?

I tried to challenge them again, but nothing happened either.

I only got Strange Rock Salt (Magic) and a Magic Stone.

What was I missing…?

《Summon Monster『Tigris』Level Up!》 》

《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

I was very much lost.

But the info screen was a nice consolation.

It was time for Tigris’s Class Change.

Which one should I go for?

I concentrated on the virtual window.

The stat that went up with the level-up was STR.

I put another point into DEX.

Tigris　Tiger Lv7→Lv8（↑1）

DEX　11（↑1）

AGI　18（↑1）

INT　11

STR　22（↑1）

VIT　21

SPI　11

Skills:

Bite　Threaten　Sense Danger　Night Vision　Conceal

《Summon Monster『Tigris』has cleared the class change conditions! 》

《Please go to the Monster’s status screen to access the Class Change candidates.》

I didn’t mind using【Instant Portal】.

I quickly sat down to take a look at the Class Change candidates.

I already knew a bit from Adele…

That was why I wasn’t too surprised when I saw the candidates.

Well, I decided to check them out anyway, just in case.

Class Change Candidates:

Forest Tiger

Sturmtiger

Which Class Change should I go for…

I decided to make quick comparisons.

Tigris　Tiger Lv8→Forest Tiger Lv1（New！）

DEX　11

AGI　19（↑1）

INT　11

STR　25（↑3）

VIT　23（↑2）

SPI　11

Skills:

Bite　Threaten　Sense Danger　Night Vision　Conceal

【Forest Tiger】Summon Monster　Battle Position: Ground

A type of superior Tiger. Its main method of attack is its bite.

The pattern of its fur is much more apparent.

It is also larger than a normal Tiger.

Excelling in brute strength, it is a powerful monster that can fight in both daytime and night-time.

It has excellent night vision.

Yep.

What about the Sturmtiger?

Tigris　Tiger Lv8→Sturmtiger Lv1（New！）

DEX　11

AGI　21（↑3）

INT　11

STR　22

VIT　21

SPI　11

Skills:

Bite　Threaten　Sense Danger　Night Vision　Conceal　Wind Attribute（New！）

【Sturmtiger】Summon Monster　Battle Position: Ground.

A type of superior Tiger. Its main methods of attack are its bite and its Wind Attribute Special Skills.

It is said to be a Tiger specialised to fighting on the plains.

It has superb speed.

Hmm.

There was no hesitation on my part.

Adele picked the Forest Tiger.

I was already set on going the other way.

I chose the Sturmtiger.

What did Tigris look like?

I realised Tigris didn’t look too different.

Maybe a bit more nimble-looking?

After I passed back through the flooded part of the cave, I changed up my team.

Obsidian as my scout.

I left Nias active.

I also summoned Senki, Tigris, and Zuiun.

I wanted to see Tigris fight.

The only other demons that came to mind were the Tentoki and the Ryutoki.

I remembered where they were.

They were on the other side of the Relay Portal.

What about Tigris?

Of course, I could test Tigris on the way.

I took on the nearest red and blue demon.

I already had the blue demon in a triangle choke, so I had the freedom to watch my Summon Monsters fight.

My Summon Monsters’ fighting style didn’t change.

Tigris just looked a little bit more fearsome.

That speed really was something to marvel at.

The red demon was pretty much torn to pieces.

Tigris was almost competing with Goki for the opportunity to strike.

It was scary.

The Sturmtigers I met in S1W2 also tended to use whirlwind-like Special Skills.

Would Tigris be able to do the same?

It was a shame that it was only against one red demon.

But I got Tigris to use the skill anyway.

The damage wasn’t so good.

But the spell had a wide range.

It was a pretty good skill.

Oops.

At some point I had managed to take out the blue demon too.

《【Fire Magic】Level Up!》  》

《Summon Monster『Obsidian』Level Up!》 》

《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Obisidian was contributing in his own way too.

Thank you.

The stat that went up with the level-up was INT.

I put another point into DEX.

Obsidian　Mystic Eye Lv4→Lv5（↑1）

DEX　14（↑1）

AGI　22

INT　22（↑1）

STR　14

VIT　14

SPI　21

Skills:

Peck　Silent Flight　Far Sight　Night Vision　Ambush　Sense Danger　Divine Hearing　Water Attribute

But that wasn’t all.

There were still more info screens.

《Summon Monster『Nias』Level Up!》 》

《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Yep, Nias had been out for a long time.

She was growing very quickly!

The stat that went up with Nias’s level-up was SPI.

I put another point into VIT.

Nias　Mermaid Lv4→Lv5（↑1）

DEX　15

AGI　15

INT　19

STR　6

VIT　7（↑1）

SPI　17（↑1）

Skills:

Two-handed Spear　Aquatic　Shapeshift　Night Vision　Cursed Song　Water Attribute

Yep.

I still wanted to keep Nias for a bit anyways.

Was it favouritism?

Of course.

When I got back to the Relay Portal, I noticed it was crowded… But not really.

There were quite a few tents around.

Slightly more than when I first passed by the Relay Portal.

But taking the size of the cave into account, there weren’t very many tents.

There were a few parties having matches.

But it still felt lonely.

Oh well.

For fighting the Tentoki and Ryutoki, I would prefer more space anyway.

I changed up my Summon Monster team.

I recalled Obsidian.

I summoned Creep.

That would probably be enough to take down the Tentoki.

I wanted to take every opportunity to train my Summon Monsters.

Tentoki – A-Gyo　Lv.2

Phantom　Enemy Target　Active

Battle Position: Ground　Fire Attribute

Ryutoki – Un-Gyo　Lv.2

Phantom　Enemy Target　Active

Battle Position: Ground　Fire Attribute

Woah, they actually looked kind of strong…

But I had strengthening spells active.

I took them out pretty quickly.

They left behind…

A Magic Stone

Strange.

I was sure of it!

I was sure that they were the key…

But I still had to figure out where to get another two gems.

I didn’t want to give up, so I walked around some more, fighting any demons I ran into.

My MP bar was half empty.

Tentoki General – A-Gyo　Lv.2

Phantom　Enemy Target　Active

Battle Position: Ground　Fire Attribute　Dust Attribute

Ryutoki General – Un-Gyo　Lv.2

Phantom　Enemy Target　Active

Battle Position: Ground　Fire Attribute　Lava Attribute

They weren’t so easy to take down anymore.

But they dropped some nice items.

Very nice, actually!

【Material】Hell’s Latch　Material Item　Grade C+　Rarity 5　Weight 4

The latch of a gate of hell. It has properties similar to evergreen oak wood.

A very hard and durable piece of lumber.

Cut from trees grown in the midst of hellfire.
