Chapter 254 Part 1
I leaped through the Relay Portal located at the S5 Southern Cape.
Where were the other players?
Not here.
This was convenient.
I could engage in successive battles without holding back.
Alright.
Which one should I try first? Well, I should take it easy and begin with an acolyte as my opponent.
First would be horseback combat.
I was also curious how Senki would transform according to the equipment.
There’s Omagatoki, too.
I was also concerned about Goki and Nias.
Unfortunately, there was no way it could be done simultaneously.
Fang’s Level Up took precedence here.
How about the battle lineup?
It would be Volff, Zangetsu, Helix, Ninetails, and Fang.
I also wanted to include Taihaku, but I shouldn’t act rashly.
I should start with Fang.
I want to see the birth of Orthrus soon.
For now, let’s start with Sobek’s acolyte.
I wanted to switch to Sphinx and Spinx gradually after I became more familiar with this.
I tried to fight with 6 types of acolytes all at once.
I thought that combat ability obviously improved.
Particularly mine.
My condition was topnotch, somehow.
Maybe it was because I felt great, but Zangetsu also moved pretty well.
It must be due to the effect of the rider and horse being in tune with each other’s martial arts.
I was pretty complacent with regards to fighting ability.
No, let’s be honest here.
I was bored fighting the acolytes.
It would have been good if they were a bit more powerful.
It was different during that time with the Bhaisajyaguru.
Really, I couldn’t do anything about myself.
Sphynx Lv. 5
Monster Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Sky, Overground ???
Spinx Lv. 5
Monster Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: : Sky, Overground ???
I tried to fight with a pair of Sphynx and Spinx.
Is there a problem?
None.
No, if it’s a problem, then there was, but I ignored it.
I used the gravitational force of Gravity Prison to restrain them to the ground, and I burned their wings.
I casted Offense Fall and Defense Fall.
Then I spurred Zangetsu on and attacked.
I also casted an Attribute Seal to seal their special abilities as I continued my attacks.
At the start of the battle, I let them use their special abilities, but it didn’t affect me that much.
I could inflict great damage on them even without using martial arts.
It was enough to just use Charge Lance.
If I defeat one of out two, then it wouldn’t take long.
Am I in perfect form?
Probably, I think.
This pair could appear starting from Lv. 5 to Lv. 7 for all I care.
Maybe it’s because my combat power has increased, but I could feel my complacency.
I even used Branch Bind and Delay.
There were also opportunities to apply poison, so it was a satisfactory hunt.
No, in this case I earned EXP points.
Fang was also actively engaged in combat.
Could I possibly hope for a Class Change today?
《Victory achieved,【Joust】has Lv. Up!》
《Victory achieved,【Coordination】has Lv. Up 》
《 Victory achieved,【Identify】has Lv. Up 》
Well, there were also fruits of battle.
It’s all good.
Decisively charging required courage, but I don’t mind.
Just thinking about shortening the battle time made it worth the risk.
Let’s use it.
Let’s use it and defeat them.
There was a change in the next battle.
Of course, the opponents were still the pair of Sphinx and Spinx, though.
Sphinx Lv. 3
Monster Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Sky, Overground, ???
Dark Attribute Fire Attribute Wind Attribute Earth Attribute Trash Attribute
Spinx Lv. 3
Monster Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Sky, Overground, ???
Dark Attribute Fire Attribute Wind Attribute Earth Attribute Trash Attribute
It doesn’t matter even if their levels were low.
I finally confirmed what kind of attributes they possessed.
Rather than that, their attributes were exactly the same!
I had thought there must be something different, though.
I should hurry up and challenge the next pair.
However, another transformation occurred.
It was martial arts.
Lance Charge was different.
It turned into Lance Charge Burst.
Hm?
If I think about it carefully, it was just 【Joust】 that Lv. Up.
I tried to use it on a Lv. 2 Sphinx.
The strength of incantation was ordinary, but Defense Fall was not incorporated.
Approximately 30% had been reduced in this state.
But what if I cast Defense Fall?
Just one shot and it was on the verge of death.
50% over – more than half had been reduced, though.
Hey.
Wasn’t it too strong?
However, even if I used Defense Fall to lower the DEF, it was still at 40%.
Lv. 7 was just 30%, and I doubt whether it was reduced.
Regardless, there was still merit in using this.
Use it, use it!
Elder Sphinx Lv. 1
Monster Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Sky, Overground ???
Elder Spinx Lv. 1
Monster Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Sky, Overground ???
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I got carried away.
Could you please go back, just once?
It’s because I could see that they had a more majestic appearance compared to before.
The Elder Sphinx also had the Defense Fall casted on it.
But the effect was weak.
However, the Elder Spinx went past 20%, and I reduced its HP bar with Lance Charge Burst.
As for the Elder Sphinx, it didn’t decrease, not even by 10%.
Normal attacks weren’t good.
To say that the Elder Sphinx was weak wasn’t true.
It continuously fired torpedo attacks.
This was already troublesome as it was.
It’s priority was damage — no, it was paralysis, apparently.
It was like the Paralyze incantation.
Moreover, the attacks were scattered, seemingly targeting the whole area.
Zangetsu and Fang were paralyzed for a while before I managed to cast Resist Thunder on everyone, you know?
There was a high possibility it would unravel if Gravity Prison didn’t work.
Scary.
Class Change was scary.
It was sudden, too.
We were hit with special attacks at multiple times while I was busy coming up with a counterattack.
Zangetsu and I got the majority hits, though.
How many times did I use the Sealing Attribute? It wasn’t effective, in my opinion.
Good grief, so taxing.
This was worrying.
Did it take a lot of time just to bring down two of them? I couldn’t remember.
I think this was it.
Elder Spinx’s tornado attack.
Is the support effective? That is the most troublesome!
Turned out I couldn’t remove Resist Thunder anymore.
Nevertheless.
I wished it would drop some kind of item.
I felt apologetic before the battle started, but I completely changed my attitude when I started defeating them.
My situation was just like that.
So, how should I deal with the successive battles?
Of course I’d continue.
My strategy was to cast Resist Thunder on everyone.
In that case, the Elder Pair wouldn’t appear anymore, that’s the reality.
I can’t figure it out!
Time is 5:20PM.
I finally fought with the second Elder Pair.
At last.
How many Sphinxes and Spinxes had been sacrificed until then?
Lion Sage’s needles had been piling up.
It’s different now compared to before, you know?
I already had a counterplan.
Defense Fall was ineffective?
Even so, I would still use it.
Attribute Seal was ineffective?
Even so, I would still use it.
As if I’d give up!
《【Joust】Level Up!!》
《【Magical Effect Amplification】 Level Up! 》
《【Magical Range Expansion】Level Up!》
《 Summon Monster『Ninetails』Level Up!》
《 Please add 1 point to a desired stat. 》
It took less time to defeat this time’s Elder Pair.
Was it dangerous?
Nope, not at all.
I incorporated Pulse Laser Burst in my assault.
I pierced them with my lance and at the same time roasted them from within.
This was probably a good technique.
Oops.
Ninetails’s INT status value already increased.
I put the other point to SPI.
Ninetails Silver Fox Lv5→Lv6（↑1）
DEX 10
AGI 26
INT 26 （↑1）

Yup, gorgeous.
There was a continuation in the info messages.
This was what I’ve been hyped up for.
《Summon Monster『Fang』has Level Up!》
《 Please add 1 point to a desired stat. 》
Alright, did the time come?
I was happy about this, you know?
Fang’s AGI status value had already increased.
I put the other point to STR.
Fang Wolf Lv7→Lv8（↑1）
DEX 12
AGI 29（↑1）

《Summoned Monster 『Fang』 has cleared the Class Change conditions! 》
《Please go to the Monster’s status screen to access the Class Change candidates.》
I should recall Ninetails before the Class Change.
I would summon Remus.
Fang Wolf Lv8→Black Wolf Lv1（New!）

《The target is an eligible Summon Monster for fusion. One more of the same Summon Monster is required.》
《The target is an eligible Summon Monster for fusion. One more Summon Monster is required.》
《All Summon Monster Fusion Targets are present.》
Alright.
I removed the Collar of Torture he was equipped with.
Let’s use Fuse Monsters.
Oh yeah, I should decide on the name.
Kyokuya Orthrus Lv1 (New!)
DEX 13
AGI 33
INT 15

【Orthrus】Summon Monster Battle Position: Overground
It is a type of training monster. Primary attack is Bite.
A two-headed demon dog or demon wolf.
Possesses the power to fuse multiple monsters.
Very temperamental and highly aggressive.
It’s the Orthrus I’ve been dreaming of!
It was huge.
And black.
Personality was cold.
Don’t blast me off, alright?
His size was not inferior to Shishiku. If I spoiled him he’d be a puppy.
The Collar of Torture wouldn’t fit if I left it as it was, so I extended the parts to equip him.
Of course, he had two heads, so there were two pieces.
I also set a gem and a topaz on each of them.
I had high expectations, obviously.
Now, a gap had been created among my Summon Monsters.
What should I do about this?
Another thing to worry about.
Should I do Mist?
I also wanted to make a Chimera with Viper or Tiger.
And Dolphin.
What should I do?
However, my drawn-out worry seemed to dissipate.
I could still assemble a lineup that was appropriate underwater.
It’s daytime now, so it would be difficult to summon Mist.
So this was what I did.
Aramid Viper – Lv1 (New!)
DEX 9
AGI 15
INT 11
STR 10
VIT 17
SPI 9
Skills:
Bite Wrap Scent Detection Heat Detection Conceal Poison
My target became clear.
I would aim for a Chimera, alright?
On the other hand.
How about challenging the Sphinx and Spinx in this state?
It’s quite worrying.
No, I was anxious now.
I should lightly deal with the acolytes at the start.
I’d do that.
《 Summon Monster『Aramid』has Level Up!》
《 Please add 1 point to a desired stat. 》
The first Lv Up came after 3 rounds of battling Sobek’s acolytes.
I also secured a piece of smoky quartz, excellent.
That’s not what I meant.
Well, it’s great that Aramid Lv Up, but Kyokuya’s combat style was superb.
No, I should know based on O-chan, Adele’s Orthrus.
I could relate deeply when it comes to my own subordinates.
We definitely overruned this battle.
Not only Sobek’s attendants and underlings– even Petsuchos was trampled on.
My prey acolytes were also in a precarious situation.
Oops, oh no.
Aramid’s AGI status value had already increased.
I put the other point to DEX.
Aramid Viper – Lv1→Lv2（↑1）
DEX 10（↑1）
AGI 16（↑1）
INT 11
STR 10
VIT 17
SPI 9

Bite Wrap Scent Detection Heat Detection Conceal Poison
I understood now after we fought.
This was child’s play.
This meant I should challenge Sphinx and Spinx!
《 Summon Monster『Aramid』has Level Up!》
《 Please add 1 point to a desired stat. 》
We tried fighting with the Sphinx and Spinx pair for three rounds.
Too fast!
Aramid’s STR status value had already increased.
I put the other point to SPI.
Aramid Viper – Lv2→Lv3（↑1）
DEX 10
AGI 16
INT 11
STR 11（↑1）

However, this battle should be temporarily wrapped up.
Time was 6:10PM.
Dinner time.
