「Keith-san, can we take a short break?」

「I think we all Leveled Up, so let’s use that chance to increase our stats!」

「Okay, We’ll use Instant Portal. Wait just a minute.」

It seems that both Adel and Irina have Leveled Up.

「Oh, you’re right. It looks like my Race Level went up as well.」

「Ara ara.」

「Who would have thought that the outcome of that battle will be so great?」

Apparently Mio’s Race level got increased as well.
I mean, we did defeat an impressive amount of enemies, so it would make sense for us to get quite a lot of EXP points, even if they were then split between our four parties.

By the way.
Even though we defeated the two Minor Griffons, none of them left any Drop Items behind.
Ah well.
For the time being I should just sit down and concentrate on the virtual window in front of me.

I expanded the Instant Portal.
We all agreed for a 20 minute break.
After they were done tinkering with their own windows, Fina-san and Mio logged out.
Adel and Irina send all of their Summoned Monsters back after they praised them for a job well done and then logged out as well.

Okay.
Since I am now alone, I guess it’s high time for me to do my own Level Up, so I focus my whole attention on the virtual window.
Basic Status:
DEX 18
AGI 18
INT 28 (↑1)
STR 18
VIT 18
SPI 28 (↑1)

《2 Bonus Points obtained. Current Bonus Points total is now: 6.》

This should be fine, I think?
I use two Bonus Points to increase my INT and SPI respectively.
I expected there to be something more than that, but the info regarding my own Level Up has ended right there.
Instead, I received an info regarding Volff.

《Summoned Monster 『Volff』 Level Up!》
《【Roar】 skill added to Summoned Monster 『Volff’s』 skill list. 》
《【Divine Revelation】 skill added to Summoned Monster 『Volff’s』 skill list.》
《Distribute 1 Bonus Point to increase the value of the statistic of your choosing.》

Oh, so Volff has obtained new skills, huh?
All right then, time to distribute those points.
Since his STR was increased with the Level Up, the next stat to increase will be his VIT.

Volff Gray Wolf Lv6 → Lv7 (↑1)
DEX 13
AGI 31
INT 13
STR 18 (↑1)
VIT 23 (↑1)
SPI 13

Skills:
Bite  Dash  Roar (New!)  Divine Revelation (New!)  Pursue  Night Vision  Conceal

It’s nice to see him finally getting some new skills, since I was beginning to be a little worried with how little of them he received up until now.
I thought that was going to be it, but the information still continued.

《Summoned Monster 『Zangetsu』 Level Up!》
《Please distribute 1 Bonus Point to increase the value of the statistic of your choosing.》

Zangetsu as well?! That battle must’ve gotten us more EXP than I ever anticipated.
It was a surprise, but a very welcome one.

Zangetsu’s AGI rose with the Level Up, so we’ll balance it out with a DEX increase.

Zangetsu White Horse Lv4 → Lv5 (↑1)
DEX 8 (↑1)
AGI 26 (↑1)
INT 8
STR 26
VIT 26
SPI 8

Skills:
Trample  Dash  Endurance Run  Wild Gallop
Rider Recovery 「Slight」  Magic Resistance 「Slight」

Is it over? No more Summoned Monsters ready to Level Up?
Well, in that case…

Let’s get ourselves a new Summoned Monster, shall we?
Also, there’s something that I want to try.
Yup yup.
This is where the Fusion Identification And Fuse Monster come into play.
For the time being, I recall Helix and Nine Tails.
I’m sorry for doing this in broad daylight, but you’re next to be summoned, Ligand.
Okay, now all the preparations have been completed, let’s summon ourselves a Fairy!

「Summon Monster!」

After checking the Summoned Monster list I noticed that there was no new additions to it.
Well, that is fine.
I scrolled down the list and chose a Fairy from line 22.

And the monster which appeared after the Summoning Ritual was completed was the following:

Flutter Fairy Lv1 (New!)
DEX 5
AGI 20
INT 19
STR 1
VIT 1
SPI 21

Skills:
Flight  Levitation  Magic Resistance 「Medium」  Increase MP Recovery 「Small」  Light Attribute

Okay, nice.
So, now we just have to use Fusion Identification on the monster that’s just been summoned, aaaaand…. Let’s see what we have here.

《Summoned Monster that can be fused。1 more Summoned Monster required to perform the fusion.》
《Summoned Monster ready to be fused.》

All right. Let’s what kind of Summoned Monster can be obtained through the fusion.
The other monster to be fused will be Ligand of course.
Now, what can be born of from their union?

「Fuse Monster!」

The fusion process with Ligand and Flutter has begun.

《Monster Fusion available。Do you want to fuse the selected monsters together？》
《Yes》《No》

I immediately clicked on 《Yes》.
Come on, come on, just show me the results already!

《The resulting monster has reached Lv2 due to the redistribution of EXP points。Perform Status Up automatically？》
《Yes》《No》

Uh-huh.
This looks like the same thing which happened that one time with Teromea.
Of course my answer would be 《Yes》.

As a result, quite an unexpected monster has appeared in front of me.
Its name has been randomly generated, and I don’t really know what to think about its appearance.
I mean, I know it’s a monster so it’s supposed to look intimidating, but I really can’t tell if I’m truly fine with what I got here.

Gengetsu Imp Lv2 (New!)
DEX 5
AGI 20
INT 20
STR 3
VIT 3
SPI 21

Skills:
Flight  Levitation  Echolocation Magic Resistance 「Medium」  Increase MP Recovery 「Small」
Light Attribute  Dark Attribute

It… it looks like an evil, uglier fairy.
The size is more or less the same.
It has bat-like wings. Not the cute-looking ones mind you, but I also wouldn’t go as far as to call them disgusting.
It also has sharp pointy ears, fangs protruding out of its mouth and an evil grin on its shriveled face.

Hmm…
How about its abilities?
Is it really just a Fairy with Dark Attribute and Echolocation slapped on top of it?
It also doesn’t seem to mind that it is being exposed to the sunlight in the middle of the day.

【Imp】 Summoned Monster Battle Position: Air
A small demon. May appear as a result of Monster Fusion when a Fairy is used as a catalyst. It’s primary means of attack are special abilities of various attributes. Due to its small physique and quick movements, it is very adept at dodging attacks.

Okay, so it isn’t just a reskinned fairy, but it also isn’t that different from it either. Got it.
It is also quite possible that it’s going to change into something drastically different when it grows up and gains more levels and Class Changes.

「My oh my Keith-san, who’s this little fellow?」

「An Imp freshly born from Monster Fusion.」

「I see. You used a Bat and a fairy as catalysts?」

「Yup.」

Irina chatted me up when she got back from her break. She really is pretty smart.

Oh yeah, that reminds me there was another Summoned Monster for me to get.
Which one should I get now?
I feel like something that can act as a scout during the night or in dark caves might be a good choice.

Summoned Monster
Florin Bat Lv1 (New!)
DEX 16
AGI 18
INT 10
STR 8
VIT 7
SPI 10

Skills:
Bite  Flight  Echolocation  Evasion  Ambush  Vampire

Right now, the collar which was first equipped on Jean and then passed onto Ligand has been equipped on Gengetsu, though I have to admit it was done quite forcibly.
It’s also a waist belt and a shoulder belt!

Well, I do plan on eventually putting it on Florin when it grows up and gains more attributes.
For now it looks like it hates the sunshine, so let’s call it back not to make it go through unnecessary tortures.
Then I summoned Helix back and ordered him to patrol the area from above.

Next one to log in was Adel, and she immediately noticed Gengetsu.

「Goodness gracious, is that your new pet, Keith?」

Somehow Adele’s tone is strange..
But it seems that she is playing with Gengetsu in various ways.
Gengetsu doesn’t seem to dislike it, it’s a gentle one.
If that’s how it is, then I am relieved.

When she was done goofing around, Adel proceeded to Summon her own Summoned Monsters, and I couldn’t help but notice that her Horse has turned into a White Horse.

「Did your Horse went through a Class Change?」

「Yes, that’s right! Ma-chan has turned from a Horse into a majestic White Horse!」

「Let me guess, the result of the last battle?」

「You bet’cha! Even Irina-chan’s Rotekaiser has Class Changed into a Battle Horse!」

Hoo boi, what is with everyone today? Are we having ourselves a Class Change Festival or what?

Irina was the last one to decide on the formation of her current party.
When Reina and Fina-san logged back on we were finally back at full crew, so we decided that we should head out without delay.
We will reach the southern cavern soon.

The current time is 10:30 AM.
We have arrived at our destination at last.
From now on we should change our parties one last time and then proceed into the cave to join the other teams that should already be inside.
What should my party formation be?
I decided to call Volff, Zangetsu, Rig and Helix back, leaving only Gengetsu.
Then I summoned Tigris, Shishiko, Teromea and Florin.

Adel’s party is made up of Forest Tiger, White Wolf, Loin, Golden Fox and a Higher Beast, while Irina chose Venom Python, Forest Tiger, Owl and a Fairy. A pretty balanced squad.

Looks like we all had the same idea in mind: instead of going for the brute force approach, we chose monsters that would compliment each other’s weaknesses and amplify their strengths.

「Keith-san, will you please take the lead to the Relay Portal?」

「Yes Ma’am! Let’s do this thing!」

Yup.
I know we should remain cautious at all times, but now that the worst was supposedly behind us, I had a feeling that the rest is going to be easy.
Those were my honest thoughts.

And I was right.

Today, the main mobs filling the main cave were mostly Orcs.
I’m sorry guys, but you’re all going to die now.

Because your God is right here, and he’s fresh out of mercy to spare!
