Chapter 271 Part 1
Scary.
It obviously was.
But at the same time I can’t take my eyes off it
The majesty of a dragon?
It’s wonderful.
The Wyrm was also a winged snake and was quite large.
But it didn’t captivate my eyes.
What’s the form of the Bronze Dragon?
Large.
Giant wings.
Talons on the limbs, fangs and horns, claws on the wings as well and on the tip of the tail.
The whole body is truly a weapon.
Except for the wings, it’s covered with scales.
It doesn’t disappoint the name Bronze.
It’s a patina color.
It doesn’t have a uniform hue and it doesn’t shine.
Still, it feels powerful.
The situation was as it is, but I put the video function to work.
No attack has come yet.
Even if I respawn, I won’t go down without anything to gain!
I drop altitude rapidly.
The dragon?
It’s form is getting smaller.
I feel a little relieved.
So far it doesn’t seem to be trying to attack.
However.
Straight from the sky.
Did something get shot out?
No, that’s not it.
It seems that the dragon itself plummeted and overtook us.
Hey!
You’re not letting us get away?
This time it rocketed upwards.
At close range, the dragon’s eyes.
Our eyes, met.
This time it flies horizontally.
Extending the Fly spell, we somehow keep flying.
I don’t know which direction it was in.
Anyways, I ran.
No.
I want a place to hide.
It’s the ground.
Anything is fine, flee to the surface!
When I approached the surface, I finally noticed.
The dragon’s form is already gone.
It’s not here, right?
I’ll check with Helix and Obsidian.
The warning call is?
Absent.
Okay.
Are we good.
Take a deep breath.
I go under the shade of a tree and sit down.
Are we saved?
Or are we still being chased?
I couldn’t think of anything else anymore.
By the way, where are we?
If I check it on the wide area map, is it near the center of the S1W3 map?
No, a little to the northeast?
Is it possible that the dragon chased us across the boundaries of the map?
How frightening.
Yup.
Moving in the sky, let’s quit.
Where did we go wrong?
Place?
Altitude?
Both?
Otherwise, it may be a trap prepared for those who try to avoid encountering monsters.
I stop recording.
Are we safe?
I want to think so, but is it too early to feel relieved?
There’s no bronze dragon around.
How about with Call Monster?
It’s there.
However, the reaction seems to be moving away, and disappears out of the detection range.
Umm.
Let’s think we’re saved.
But you know.
Let’s quietly move by ground here.
I’ll change the lineup again.
Leaving behind Helix, Couturier, and Keimei I recall Obsidian and Heather.
I summoned Volff and Zangetsu.
Now.
From here on, let’s go quietly on the ground.
What’s the area like?
I see a decent amount of players.
Naturally, I also saw monsters.
Chimeras, Battle Hawks, Cannibal Lions, Forest Tigers, Venom Pythons.
It’s diverse.
We head north while hunting some of them.
I don’t see that Bronze Dragon.
We can’t let our guard down.
It doesn’t do anything, but I used Call Monsters often.
Because I’m scared.
I usually do【Appraise】after getting an item, but I’m trying to do it in the shade of trees.
It really is, scary.
I’m traumatized.
Still, the recording is something I want to see later.
Did my excitement go up?
I think it’s increased.
Will the day come when we can fight evenly with that?
I’m not certain, but it doesn’t feel like we could win.
Items dropped nicely.
However, today’s preference is not rose quartz.
Meat.
It’s meat.
I want to hunt Fighting Bulls for the first time in a while.
That’s right.
I was rushing into the W3 map.
The time is 3:30 pm.
Fighting Bull hunting, commence!
But I can’t train.
For some reason there were a lot of players.
Yup.
It’s not a bad thing to have more players.
That’s right that’s right.
Let’s think positively.
I decided to keep hunting quietly.
《Summon Monster『Keimei』Level Up! 》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat》
As I was hunting meat, Keimei leveled up.
No wait, what I was hunting was Fighting Bulls.
You can’t deny that the Fighting Bulls look like meat.
Oh yeah, Keimei’s Level Up.
Keimei’s INT has already risen.
I put the other point in VIT.
Keimei Imp Lv3 → Lv4 (↑ 1)
DEX 6
AGI 21
INT 21 (↑ 1)
STR 3
VIT 4 (↑ 1)
SPI 24

It’s about evening.
Neither Carrion Feeders, Centaurs, or Steppe Lions have been that much of a problem so far.
However, looking with Call Monsters, there are monsters showing group movement at night.
Centaurs and Steppe Lions.
It’s not a good trend.
What I want to earn is meat.
Maybe I should change hunting grounds here.
Keimei’s MP Bar might be exhausted soon.
Let’s change the lineup and move.
Before that.
Supper.
I’ll deploy an instant portal.
Recalling Keimei, I summon Bunraku.
What’s the plan now?
The fact that we’re moving today doesn’t change.
What about flying to move at night?
Let’s pass on that one.
Scary in two ways.
Traveling at night is inefficient, so let’s do something here today.
Let’s see.
Excavation of ancient stone pillars.
In addition, the summoned monsters can spar each other.
And I can watch the footage of the Bronze Dragon too.
How’s that sound?
Matches are important.
There are some I haven’t summoned recently and all, so they need an opportunity to move their bodies, right?
Yup.
I recall everybody but Bunraku and summon Gokame, Taylor, Strand, and Peptide.
Let’s go with the tag team here.
Pairs of Gokame and Peptide, and Taylor and Strand.
Then, let’s proceed to the match, right?
I’ll take a video.
What will I do?
Let’s start by excavating ancient stone pillars.
Bunraku’s meal was completed after about two matches.
While getting the third match going I watched the video of the dragon.
Ummm.
Like I thought, it’s amazing.
This is one to save.
I’ll throw it in the external link that Irina taught me.
I’ve also recorded the match I’m putting on now.
I don’t think I have that much free room.
After eating the meal, I checked the battle.
Are you in stalemate with each other?
No, the balance is tilted.
That’s not good.
That Gokame was able to recover not only himself but also Peptide with his special ability.
Not only that, he also detoxified.
What’s with that.
Both Gokame and Peptide are well protected.
Taylor specializes in brute force fighting, and he’s hard as can be.
Only Strand has a defensive disadvantage.
On the other hand, Peptide and Strand are advantageous in terms of speed.
Seen in this way, only Strand appears to be at a disadvantage.
But in this battlefield alone, Taylor and Strand are on the offensive, and even seem to dominate.
What’s the key to winning or losing?
It’s Gokame’s special ability and Strand’s Wrap.
Gokame can hurl a number of boulders and intercept with a water curtain.
In addition to these, it seems that ivy can be grown from the ground to make a wall or restraints.
It’s fairly effective on Taylor.
But the effect is weak on Strand.
And the wall of ivy is no good.
Strand can pass through it.
If Gokame is closed in on by Strand and takes some quick attacks it seems like this’ll be settled quickly.
However.
If Peptide suppresses Strand while Gokame endures, the situation will be reversed in a blink of an eye.
In addition, with Gokame’s recovery applied, Peptide can also put up a reasonable fight against Taylor.
In a long-term battle Gokame and Peptide seem to have the advantage.
It seems that in competition with each other, they’re not all evenly able to display their special attributes.
That’s why it’s interesting.
How about poison?
There aren’t many chances to get poisoned, but there’s no problem because detoxification can be done with spells.
Let’s continue as is.
How are the ancient stone pillars?
Is this shape, petrified wood?
My expectations are high.
For the Petrified Wood Staff, it wouldn’t hurt to have a spare.
Not only that, it’d be okay to have a spare Lion Sage’s Lance too.
If you go too far beyond the map, repairing weapons and armor can be a hassle.
It hasn’t been a problem so far, but if you have a spare, you can rest easy.
Now.
Come to me!
Or rather, I’m half certain.
Must be petrified wood.
Thanks for the treat.
