Chapter 249 Part 2
Time to speed up! I didn’t have any more time to waste!
I continued challenging the Dragon Puppy over and over again while scolding myself in that way.
I spent too much time trying to test fighting styles.
As long as I was prepared to take some damage myself, I was quite confident I would be able to take down the Dragon Puppy relatively quickly.
What was my main weapon?
I had my Petrified Wood Staff.
After weakening it a bit, I could tie it up with my Black Rope and stick the handle of my Vajra Sword into its eye. Deploying the blade would be enough to destroy the inside of its skull.
That was my plan, and I knew it would be good for quickly taking down the Dragon Puppy.
Of course, I still had to take care to avoid its fire breath attack, so it wasn’t a completely reliable strategy.
But still, it was a good strategy for shortening the time I spent in each battle.
I had to be quick about these battles, after all.
What would the Dragon look like after its Class Change?
It was kind of scary, but I had to keep in mind the possibility of there just being another Dragon Puppy I had to fight. That would actually be easier.
The fact that I had no idea made things much more terrifying.
In another sense, fighting the Dragon Puppy’s Class Change would be a fight against my own fear.
《Summon Monster『Jericho』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
My third Xiuyaojing Bow was still nowhere in sight.
Well, that was okay, I was happy that Jericho levelled up.
The stat that went up with the level-up was STR.
Even though it was against my instincts, I decided to put the other point into AGI.
Jericho Mud Golem Lv7→Lv8(↑1)
DEX 6
AGI 9(↑1)
INT 6
STR 39(↑1)
VIT 39
SPI 6
Skills:
Punch Kick Magical Resistance [Small] Self-Repair [Small] Block
Liquefaction
I was a little confused as to what I should do…
Would it be a good idea to swap out Jericho?
I thought about it for a while, and ultimately decided to swap out Jericho for Goki.
I gave him my other Xiuyaojing Bow.
I was sure that Goki could be just as strong as Jericho.
Since I was just planning on fighting the General Haira anyway, I didn’t think the difficulty of the fights would change by much.
Goki had a shield to protect himself, and he could shoot arrows at the General Haira too.
It would just be a simple change in fighting style.
And moreover…
There was something else that was more important on my mind.
Don’t panic…
The Dragon Puppy was still only at Level 6.
It wasn’t time for me to start panicking yet.
I kept challenging the General Haira.
But almost as if my enemies could read my mind to further my anxiety, the next General Haira and Dragon Puppy caused a cold shiver to run up my spine.
General Haira Lv.11
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Tree Attribute Dust Resistance
Dragon Puppy Lv.7
Monster Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Fire Attribute Lava Attribute Breath
Of course, I had no choice but to fight the Level 7 Dragon Puppy with all my might.
I used all the Weapon Artes and spells that I could use.
I took a lot of damage in the fight, but when it was over, there were some rewards for me.
《Summon Monster『Volff』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Volff’s superior mobility was definitely not to be underestimated.
It was one of Volff’s best strengths.
The only reason why General Haira’s arrows didn’t fly over to me to distract my battle was because Volff was so skilled in keeping the General Haira in check.
Thank you.
The stat that went up with Volff’s level-up was AGI.
I put another point into STR.
Volff Grey Wolf Lv10→Lv11(↑1)
DEX 13
AGI 33(↑1)
INT 13
STR 22(↑1)
VIT 25
SPI 13
Skills:
Bite Dash Roar Divine Sense Pursue Night Vision Conceal
Volff was my first Summon Monster after all, and I had him active a lot of the time too.
I suppose it would be expected for him to already be at Level 11.
I could definitely keep expecting more and more from him.
It was about time for his next Class Change too, right?
Looking at the Class Change patterns of the Gozu and Mezu, I had a feeling that Level 12 was a suspicious level.
I was definitely looking forward to what would happen when Volff hit that level.
There was a hint of favouritism in my decision, but I decided to keep Volff in my team and keep going.
The time was 9:10 pm.
How many Dragon Puppies had I already taken down?
I finally managed to get myself another Xiuyaojing Bow.
And with that, my long journey was finally over.
But the day wasn’t completely over just yet.
My MP bar was still close to 30%.
I could still do a few more things…
I wasn’t anywhere near done yet!
But who would be my next opponent?
I decided to try challenging the Shotora.
My aim was, of course, to get myself another Light Quartz Dagger.
General Shotora Lv.5
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Light Attribute Dark Attribute
Racchango Lv.1
Monster Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Fire Resistance Earth Resistance
I suddenly had to fight a different kind of monster.
It looked like the Class Change form of a Fighting Bull.
But that was all, really.
Its fighting style didn’t change by much at all.
The Racchango had a fancy name, but in all other aspects, it was very similar to a Fighting Bull.
Its hairs were bright red, and its eyes were glossy.
There were three of them, but I could use Gravity Prison to easily control their movements, making the fight easy enough.
What about the General Shotora?
I fought the General Shotora head-on, and took it down in no time.
I didn’t get to stop the General Shotora from pulling out its sword, but I managed to take it down before it got the opportunity to start swinging it around.
I did a joint lock on the arm holding the sword, threw the General Shotora onto the ground, and moved in for a choke.
After some time, I put the handle of my Vajra Sword to its ear, and deployed a blade of wind.
With that, I managed to immediately drop its HP bar to zero.
While I was at it, I decided to take down the Racchango with my Vajra Sword too.
Fighting all those Dragon Puppies really did something to me.
All the other monsters just didn’t feel that strong anymore.
It was a tough situation.
But I wasn’t about to complain. Something good just happened, after all.
After the battle, I managed to get myself a Light Quartz Dagger.
That was very nice.
It was already quite late too, so I was grateful I got one so early.
I suppose having one spare would do for the time being.
Time for the next one.
I wanted to try getting myself another Akasagarbha Spear too.
General Mekira Lv.5
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Ground Wind Attribute Fire Attribute
Battle Cock Lv.2
Monster Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Ground, Air Fire Attribute Wind Attribute
The Mekira was close by, so it didn’t take me much time at all to head there.
There weren’t a lot of other players there either, so I didn’t have to wait for my turn to fight it either.
That was very good for me.
The Akasagarbha Spear seemed like a useful weapon, so I wanted to get myself two more of them if possible.
I already had one, so that would lead to a total of three.
One for me, one for Nias, and another one to keep in reserve.
There were five of those chickens, but they were monsters I had fought and defeated before, so I wasn’t too worried.
The time was 9:30 pm.
Would it be possible for me to get two more Akasagarbha Spears before the day ended?
There was only one way to find out.
《【Dagger】Level Up!》
《【Dash】Level Up!》
《Summon Monster『Remus』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
I just got myself another Light Quartz Dagger, so I liberally used it in the fight.
I set it to Water Magic, and I slashed the General Mekira until it went down.
It was nice to finally get to enjoy myself to the full!
It was a simple joy.
The stat that went up with Remus’s level-up was AGI.
I put another point into INT.
Remus Wolf Lv5→Lv6(↑1)
DEX 12
AGI 29(↑1)
INT 12(↑1)
STR 13
VIT 14
SPI 12
Skills:
Bite Evade Threaten Listen Sense Danger
After some time, I managed to get myself another Akasagarbha Spear.
But that would be good enough for the day.
The time was already 11:50 pm.
I had a lot of momentum, so I could’ve kept going, but I decided to call it a day.
I recalled all of my Summon Monsters.
I summoned Senki and Nias.
I equipped Senki with the Sumo Mawashi and gave Nias an Akasagarbha Spear, replacing her Swordfish Spear.
Yep, that would be fine. I wanted to do it before I forgot to do so in the future.
What was my plan for the next day?
Of course, I wanted to get myself some more spare weapons.
I wanted to keep fighting the Twelve Heavenly Generals, at least until the equipment I commissioned was finished.
I wanted to get myself one more Akasagarbha Spear.
I also wanted one more Hammer of the Treasure Guardian.
I suppose once I got those two weapons, I could try exploring the other Twelve Heavenly Generals too.
There was a possibility of me getting some other new weapons too.
From all the fights, I managed to get a big stock of Strange Salt (Holy) and Power Water too.
I could sell off the Strange Salt (Holy) in the future, but the Power Water would definitely be a big help in a tough fight.
I had a lot of them, so it wouldn’t hurt to indulge myself a bit for my fights the next day too.
Anyway…
Those were just some of my plans for the next day.
It was time to log out.
