Chapter 263 Part 1
I logged in.
The time is 6:20 am.
The Cintamini did not produce any magic stones.
I set the crystal ball correctly right?
No, it seems like it was my bad.
The MP bar isn’t completely refreshed.
I see.
While the user rests, huh?
Is not being fully recovered the problem?
That’s probably it.
I’ll have to prioritize the complete recovery of my MP bar.
Is it that after complete recovery, the surplus MP is put into the crystal ball and transformed into magic stones?
Now.
The problem is right in front of me.
I spot Wadjet Acolyte accompanying a Lesser Basilisk wandering aimlessly nearby.
It’s a terrifying sight!
Even from inside the instant portal, I can’t help but get nervous.
Oh yeah, what are we gonna do today?
I basically get the idea of this map.
Although I still don’t know what’s on the border at the end of the map.
Yeah, it makes sense to stay on this map if I plan to move on.
I want the items too, but it’s not like I need them.
Detoxification can be done with spells.
There’s no problem with keeping the Snake Goddess’s Staff just as something like insurance.
That’s right.
It would be nice to go back to the S5 map and head east or west.
Oops.
Before that, I’ll summon Bunraku to prepare a meal.
Me?
I’ll excavate an ancient stone pillar.
That aside, that Lesser Basilisk I saw nearby is pretty impressive!
Although it disappeared while I was eating.
Oh right.
Moving through sand is inefficient.
I can jump to the Relay Portal at the southern end of S5 with Return Home.
And then I can go on horseback.
The problem is?
Only whether to go East or West.
Let’s go for the S5E1 Map in the East.
I think it might also be good to head to the Valley of the Cross, which is the area portal of the S4E1 Map.
Now it should be possible to break through with just my party.
Well then.
Let’s recall Bunraku.
And I summoned Volff, Zangetsu, Helix, Rig, and Nias.
It’s a standard mobile lineup.
I leave the Instant Portal and use Return Homel.
Now, let’s go!
Suppressing the desire to challenge the Sphinx and Spinks, I leave the relay portal and head North.
And change course towards the northeast.
Of course, I proceed while checking the surroundings with a call monster.
There are both Sphinx and Spinks.
I could call them individually and hunt them, but right now movement is the priority.
If we’re attacked?
Of course, we’ll just fight back.
Occasionally there were some guys who attacked us.
I kindly responded to them.
But damn, things have really changed.
This feels totally different from when I first fought the Spinks and Sphinx.
Yup.
It’s okay if you want to attack more?
We’re passive, but it’s that kind of feeling.
The killer scorpion along with Mummies and Serket’s followers and underlings that attack us indiscriminately are cute.
It’s fun to be able to trample them on Zangetsu.
And the mummy’s affinity with Nias is bad.
No, it’s a good match from my point of view.
The mummies, weakened by the song, were really fragile.
I just use Sanctify Undead and then poke them with a lance.
Mummies should be reasonably tough, but they become really fragile.
Too easy!
Like I thought this is no good.
If I’m going to fight on this map then it’s gotta be the Sphinx and Spinks.
I’m not satisfied.
I want to go to the next map as soon as possible.
Besides that, I could take on some of the monsters at Valley of the Cross?
If you hunt only the same monsters, you’ll get used to it in a bad way.
No, it’s okay to fight repeatedly, but you need a clear purpose, right?
There is no doubt that wanting things is best.
《Summon Monster『Helix』Level Up! 》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
I was cleaning up the monsters that came at us randomly and then a level up.
Sweet.
Certainly, the Sphinx and Spinks aren’t that inferior to the monsters on the S6 map.
They’re big and tough.
Frighteningly, even with them, it’s still easier than the monsters on the S6 map.
Abnormal conditions are really troublesome.
It’s also scary that Helix can also deal with them comfortably.
Oops, I got distracted.
Helix’s AGI has already risen.
I’ll put the other in DEX.
Helix Fighting Falcon Lv8 → Lv9 (↑ 1)
DEX 15 (↑ 1)
AGI 31 (↑ 1)
INT 23
STR 15
VIT 15
SPI 15
Skills:
Peck Flight Farsight Wide Area Search Ambush Sense Danger Air Mobility
Wind Attribute Earth Attribute
Mm, it’s an easy-to-understand status.
What should I do next?
It might be good to focus on AGI.
Although putting it in INT is also a possibility.
This is kind of a drag.
Well, should I worry about it after hitting level 10?
The time is 9:50 am.
The wide area map is already transitioning to S5E1.
It seems that the terrain is gradually changing from a dry climate to normal plains.
But I still can’t find the forest.
Even if I look with Call Monster, there are no more monsters detected nearby.
Is it the real deal from here?
What’ll come out, I have no idea.
It is a party setup with high exploration ability.
I want to think that we can handle it.
Whatever the case, there is an option to escape.
My expectations for Zangetsu are high.
Lesser Gryphon Lv.2
Demon Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: In the air, Ground ???
Gryphon Trooper Lv.2
Apostle Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground ???
First prey?
No, are we the ones who’ve been chosen as prey?
Three apostles riding on three monsters, huh.
Their respective weapons were two bows and one spear with a rather long handle.
I can’t see any future where I don’t struggle.
I’m in trouble because I’m likely to be unilaterally done in from the air.
「Human-Horse Union!」
I apply martial arts and spur on Zangetsu.
My only weapon is the Lion Sage’s Lance.
Not useful for anti-aircraft combat.
So.
Although alternatively, if they were pinned to the ground, the match’d be ours.
The Lesser Gryphon isn’t normal.
Its size is much smaller than the Sphinx and Spinks.
But its mobility is incomparably high.
Minor Gryphon?
It’s in a different league!
And even those riders seem troublesome.
Probably fully equipped with metal armor.
The face is blocked by a helmet and can’t be identified.
The archers release their arrows without even trying to get close.
Really unpleasant people.
「Acid Shower!」
I’m aware that they’re coming to target me from behind.
Being prepared to take an arrow, I flip Zangetsu around and aim at a Lesser Gryphon carrying an apostle with a bow.
What about the spell?
I’m confident that one of them was definitely hit.
I don’t know about the other one.
One by one, I’ll crush them.
That’s all I can do.
Helix attacks Lesser Gryphon which lost its composure.
A number of wind blades were shot into their wings.
And from behind me comes support.
It’s a song.
Nias’s voice echoes gently.
There’s something wrong with the red marker of the Lesser Gryphon who was trying to circle in the sky and attack us.
Right after I thought that.
It crashed.
Yes, it crashed.
But it seems to still be alive.
A small marker overlaps the red marker.
It seems to be Sleep.
Did you fall asleep on the battlefield?
No, it’s the effect of Nias’s song.
I charged the bow-wielding apostle rolling on the ground and immediately pierced through their torso.
But even so they continue to try to shoot at me without dropping their bow, somehow.
That’s impressive.
But I’ll put an end to it.
The apostle is shaken off of my lance and rolls on the ground.
This time, they were crushed under Zangetsu’s hoof as she charged.
Oh.
I don’t like this ending.
I don’t like it.
I would at least want to be defeated fair and square.
Now that I think of it I’ve respawned after death about twice so far, but I don’t get the feeling that either of them was a proper death.
Is that fate?
It seems that the sleeping Lesser Gryphon also got up as expected after being charged into.
But it’s too late.
Volff had bitten into its throat and pulled.
That leaves two.
And there are two apostles.
Nias’s song had stopped.
No, the tone of the song is changing.
A brave voice.
I can tell that my power is increasing.
「Gravity Prison!」
I let the guy who was trying to attack with a spear take it.
That’s right.
To attack with a spear, you have to be in time.
I’ve decided on my counter.
「Enemy Burn!」
While I’m at it, I’ll burn the wings of Lesser Gryphon.
While singing Nias also thrusts her spear into the wings of the Lesser Gryphon.
The apostle?
It’s a good target for Volff.
In the meantime, arrows fly toward us.
Of course, I’m not avoiding everything.
There are several direct hits.
However.
Rig is here.
He dexterously moves across the bodies of me, Nias, and Zangetsu to catch the arrows.
What impressive living body armor.
Imagine being in the opposite position.
It’s a truly unpleasant opponent.
「Gravity Prison!」
The last Lesser Gryphon also seems to have been too distracted by the helix.
It was too close to us.
When it crashes to the ground due to the spell, immediately Volff is attacking.
Hey there.
Leave some for me, okay?
The threat of both the Gryphon Trooper and the Lesser Gryphon when on the ground is halved.
No, it’s less than half.
Both of them are trying to get up and fight.
But it’s okay.
After two charges, the Lesser Gryphon was dying and was finished off by Nias’s spear.
The Gryphon Trooper seems to have been done in by Volff and Helix.
Is it pretty much over?
No, there’s still still something important to be done.
What kind of items can drop?
【Material】Gold Ore Quality C- Rarity 6 Weight 5+
An ore containing more than a certain amount of gold. In most cases, it also contains precious metals other than gold.
From Lesser Gryphon, there’s something like this.
Can you get it in the form of gold coins or gold nuggets?
Is it an ore?
Does that mean you can’t use it without going through the refining process?
Admin.
I can feel your malice?
No, wait.
There’s a Lava Magic spell!
It’s Refine.
It’s a spell I’ve never used before.
Hmm.
Let’s try it later.
What about the Gryphon Trooper?
The bodies of all three have disappeared.
How could the equipment disappear together!
It‘s the same as the apostles I saw in the desert area.
Oh, by the way, these guys are also apostles, right?
Who are you serving?
I’m worried because it’s not specified.
