《You can use 【Fuse Monsters】 on these Summon Monsters. Do you want to fuse these Summon Monsters together? 》

《Yes》 《No》

I had no idea what was about to happen, but I had worked long and hard for this moment…

《The leftover experience points will result in the Summon Monster starting at Level 2. Status points will be distributed automatically. Is that alright? 》

《Yes》 《No》

Oops.

That was a bit unexpected.

But I didn’t really mind.

I chose 《Yes》and excitedly watched for what would happen.

A magic circle appeared between Jean, Mumyo, and Zuiun.

Something appeared in the magic circle.

It was a young woman.

Her body was slender, and her hair was black and completely straight, falling down all the way to her hips.

Her face was partly hidden behind her hair, so I couldn’t get a good look at it.

But really…

Why did she start out naked?

Looking at her closer, I realised her body was almost translucent.

It was kind of scary.

I took a raincoat from my 《Item Box》 and put it over her shoulder.

For the first time, she raised her face.

Wow.

She was beautiful.

In a different sense to Nias.

She looked like a beautiful, gentle older sister.

She looked at me and smiled brightly.

I could almost see the sparkles appear around her face.

At the same time, chills ran up my back.

Her smile was kind of terrifying in a way too.

I had a feeling that my mind might freeze over if I looked at her for too long.

【Vampire】 Summon Monster　Battle Position: Ground, Air

A Fusion Summon Monster, born from Summon Monsters that dwell in darkness.

Since it is an undead Summon Monster, it is weak in sunlight.

It has a variety of means to attack with.

Self-Repair and MP Absorption are dramatically enhanced by blood sucking.

Since it comes with a variety of resist skills, it is also a very tough Summon Monster.

It can also transform into several other beasts.

Wow, no matter how I looked at it, it was an upgrade.

The atmosphere around her suddenly got a lot heavier!

I quickly gave her a name.

The empty skill slot gave me the choice to give her the Wind, Earth, or Water Attribute.

That was an easy choice too.

This is what I ended up with:

Telomere　Vampire Lv2 (New!)

【Vampire】 Summon Monster　Battle Position: Ground, Air

A Fusion Summon Monster that dwells in the darkness.

Its main means of attack include a variety of Special Skills, but it can master various weapons as well.

While weak in sunlight, it is an extremely strong and capable fighter.

But I realised that I had a big problem.

The problem was with equipment.

I could try giving her the crab armour…

But it didn’t look good on her at all.

It was a complete mismatch.

But I could probably give her Mumyo’s Khakkhara… He wouldn’t need it anymore, after all.

I handed over the Khakkhara.

She held in her hands for a few seconds.

Suddenly, the Khakkara disappeared.

What, where did it go?

She probably noticed me looking up and down at her strangely, so she pulled out the Khakkara again.

Did she have an 《Item Box》?

As an experiment, I tried giving her my old Fighting Bull Armguards.

She happily let me equip them on her.

But a few moments later, the armguards disappeared.

Wait, what?

Again, the armguards reappeared.

Um…

It looked like she had some strange ability to un-equip and re-equip armour and weapons.

But I could see it took a toll on her MP bar. Looked like that ability had a cost.

While I was at it, I gave her Mumyo’s hammer too.

Would that be enough for the time being?

No… Her equipment was still very much lacking.

I would have to get proper equipment in the Wind Spirit Village.

But really…

Looking at Nias and Telomere side by side was quite an amazing sight.

They both had a solemn and quiet atmosphere about them.

Were they conscious of each other?

Well, I would prefer that to them ignoring each other.

Well, I didn’t sense any enmity between them.

Please do get along, alright?

So, what was next?

I now had two vacant spaces for new Summon Monsters.

What should I do…? It was definitely an issue I had to take care of.

I decided to summon them right then and there.

I narrowed down the list of summonable monsters to just the new Summon Monster candidates again.

Bat

Viper

Skeleton

Mist

Lion

Sea Snake

Well the first Summon Monster was an easy choice.

All that was left was to choose a name.

I ended up with this:

Strand　Sea Snake Lv1 (New!)

DEX　10

AGI　12

INT　7

STR　12

VIT　18

SPI　9

Skills:

Bite　Wrap　Aquatic　Heat Detection　Conceal　Poison

【Sea Snake】 Summon Monster　Battle Position: Underwater, Ground

A sea snake. Its main methods of attack are its bite and its venom.

Suited to underwater battles.

《The target is not an eligible Summon Monster for fusion.》

I made sure to use 【Fusion Identification】 too.

Yeah. That was unfortunate.

But there was no time to figure out its true value.

I quickly moved on to summoning the other Summon Monster. The date was about to change.

I quickly chose the next monster to summon without thinking too much about it.

Ligand　Bat Lv1 (New!)

DEX　14

AGI　18

INT　10

STR　9

VIT　8

SPI　11

Skills:

Bite　Flight　Echolocation　Evade　Ambush　Suck Blood

Nice.

I equipped Ligand with Jean’s old necklace.

Was there anything else to do?

There probably was, but I was a bit too tired to think about it.

What was there to do tomorrow?

I could make a stop at the Wind Spirit Village?

Or maybe I could move on to the next map?

I could leave worrying about it for another time.

It was a long day, after all.

Just in case, I left behind a hard copy of the virtual window in front of me with some notes, as a reminder of sorts?

While I was at it, I took a screenshot too.

Without something to remember where I was and what my plans were, it would be very easy for me to forget.

There were probably a lot more Fusion Summon Monsters to discover ahead of me.

Well, just in case, I made a note of that too.

I recalled all my Summon Monsters and logged out.

I could leave thinking about it to the me of tomorrow.
