Chapter 274 Part 1
《There are 2 messages from your friends》
The first one is Irina and the second is from Lambda.
Well that’s fine.
From inside the Instant Portal I can see a strange sight.
Two golems were activated.
No, if I look closely, are there four?
Two are like the stone golems I’ve seen before.
Two are different.
Larger than a stone golem.
And rugged.
It’s of considerable size.
The Magi Owl and Minerva Owl are on each shoulder.
The two stone golems seem to orbit around Master’s house.
The two unfamiliar golems remain still.
The Magi Owl and Minerva Owl seem to head for the forest.
What?
What’s with this high alert?
Whatever.
I’ll just think about today’s lineup.
For the time being, just Bunraku.
Afterwards I’m going to go with members who can spar, but I can worry about that later.
I exit the Instant Portal, pass by the unfamiliar golems, and enter the gates.
Oh right.
Should I try using【Identify】?
Marble Golem Lv ???
Summon Monster Alert
??? ???
Damn.
I can’t see it at all.
Does that mean it’s on level or even better than the Minerva Owl?
The number of scary escorts has increased.
When I got down to the workshop, Master’s Metal Skin was cleaning.
I was thinking of getting Bunraku to cook, but.
Master’s Metal Skin has magically finished preparing breakfast.
I literally just took the ingredients out of the《Item Box》.
Well that’s about right I guess.
When I read the message from Irina while eating, it was as I thought.
It’s a guide to the exchange meeting between summoners.
It’s quite a long message, you know?
The place is the same as last time.
The time is tomorrow at 7 pm.
That’s basically night.
It seems that Adele, Irina, Haruna and Konohana are preparing the spot the day before.
The problem is scale.
It seems certain that it’ll exceed the previous size.
Apparently there are also participants from the Players Guild at Fiona’s place.
IT sounds like they’ll bring equipment for the summoned monsters.
Well, it’s definitely a chance to sell but.
The scale is too big, isn’t it?
Whatever.
I’ll just peek in.
So what’s the other message?
Lambda?
『Currently, I’m near the Fire Spirit Rock. I’ll jump to Remut by noon tomorrow with Return Home』
I see.
Did he also have space-time magic?
Actually was I the one who recommended it to him?
Well, certainly if we’re going to meet then I’d better get moving early.
That’ll be tomorrow, though.
Then.
What’ll I do today
Of course, I’ll follow Master’s instructions.
There’s a large container on the work table.
It’s an《Item Box》.
Master’s that is.
Let’s put the flawless products in this.
Of course, I’m going to ask Master’s Metal Skin to help me with the work.
And have Bunraku do excavation.
The weather looks nice today as well.
Let’s work outside.
Of course, I want to have the summoned monsters fight against each other.
Three birds with one stone.
Am I too greedy?
No, I think I can get away with this much.
I’m ready to make empty bottles in the garden.
I’ve used Enchanted Weapon for Bunraku, and had him start excavating ancient stone pillars.
What am I thinking about?
The matches.
Let’s do 2v2 pairings again today.
What did I choose?
The pair of Shishiku and Oma.
The opposing team is the pair of Kyokuya and Raibun.
Why this combination?
There’s only one thing in common: the Fuse Monster Group.
The combination is basically random.
Well, they can handle healing pretty well.
For the time being, is it okay to rethink the combination after seeing the battle?
While making empty bottles I kept my eye on the battles.
If I had to put it in one word, I guess it would be flashy.
They unleash Breath on eachother, and lighting rains down incessantly.
When you think it’s over, they attack each other at high speed.
A number of balls of light and flame bullets are shot from the goat on Shishiku’s shoulder.
Kyokuya attacks Shishiku.
Oma bounces back.
Raibun shoots lightning.
I can’t make left from right.
However, in these matches, it seems that the pair of Shishiku and Oma is clearly at an advantage.
Oma’s Space-time Attribute has a large special ability.
It’s a difficult ability to use, but when the timing is right, the effect is enormous.
Sometimes it instantly decides the battle.
In fact, it was 4 wins and 1 loss in the first 5 matches.
They’re dominating!
That aside, aren’t you guys completely ignoring your MP bar?
Well, that’s fine.
Breath attacks seem to have a limited number of consecutive uses, which doesn’t seem to depend on the MP bar.
When Shishiku can’t use Breath, he uses a lot of attribute special attacks.
Oma and Raibun are going full throttle straight from the Start.
The problem is Kyokuya.
When he runs out of Breath, he has no choice but to rely on direct attacks.
Kyokuya is also an attribute holder, but it doesn’t seem to be reflected in his means of attack, so he seems to be at a disadvantage.
However, it wasn’t until Kyokuya and Shishiku both ran out of breath that Kyokuya and Raibun’s team got their single victory.
Is this surprising?
No, is it just that they’re strong in battles utilizing speed?
It was quite a competitive battle after they stopped using Breath.
Is that okay?
I think it’s okay.
However, the frequency of replenishing their MP increased.
I have to recover it for them with that new spell so they don’t run out.
My own MP bar is decreasing, but it doesn’t seem to be a big burden.
Mm.
This is good!
Let’s continue the matches.
So how’s the fighting?
It’s flashy.
It’s really flashy.
Just Raibun, that is.
He’s releasing lighting bolts all over the place!
I mean it’s beautiful, but you know.
《Summon Monster『Raibun』Level Up! 》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat》
Just how many battles did they go through?
When I took my eyes off for a moment and got absorbed in bottle making, he levelled up.
Raibun’s AGI has already risen.
I put the other in SPI.
Raibun Nue Lv1 → Lv2 (↑ 1)
DEX 12
AGI 25 (↑ 1)
INT 13
STR 28
VIT 25
SPI 13 (↑ 1)
Skills:
Bite Threaten Sense Danger Scent Detection Heat Detection Night Vision
Conceal Predator Fusion Poison Thunder Attribute
Nice.
I want other members to level up with this setup.
No, did Kyokuya and Oma level up recently?
Is that so?
Oh no.
Change of plans.
Let’s focus on raising our strength.
I’ll just repair their equipment and recall them.
What’s the combination of matchups?
Heather vs. Keimei.
And Gokame vs. Taylor.
There are two 1v1 pairs.
In Heather vs. Keimei there’s a clear difference in abilities.
I’ll apply spell enhancements only to Keimei.
Will that make it even?
In terms of stats, AGI, INT, and SPI are evenly matched.
But other than that, I can’t close the gaps.
I guess the rest will just come down to the difference in skills.
Well, you don’t know if you don’t try, right?
《Summon Monster『Keimei』Level Up! 》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat》
How are the matches?
It’s a short term battle.
Heather and Keimei both have no melee attacks.
Only special abilities.
It feels like within 4 shots, the one who hits first wins.
But that’s a long time.
It seems that there are many things to avoid.
Heather’s winning percentage seems to be a little better, but they’re having a pretty good competition.
Then.
Keimei’s AGI has already risen.
I’ll put the other point in VIT.
Keimei Imp Lv5 → Lv6 (↑ 1)
DEX 6
AGI 23 (↑ 1)
INT 21
STR 4
VIT 5 (↑ 1)
SPI 24
Skills:
Flight Levitation Echolocation Magic Resistance [Medium] MP Recovery [Small]
Light Attribute Dark Attribute Earth Attribute
But wow, the speed of the matches are totally different.
The match between Gogame and Taylor always ends up timing out.
The match time is 10 minutes.
In that time, Heather and Keimei will fight four to five times.
They’re truly speedy.
That’s why recovery is difficult.
Specifically, the MP recovery.
It’s quite frequent, you know?
Well, it’s not that big a burden, so it’s fine.
The time is 11:50 am.
Lunch is brought by Master’s Metal Skin.
I noticed that my MP bar had become about 60%.
Hey!
Too low!
Should I take a break along with lunch?
No, I guess I’ll just drink a Mana Potion.
At this rate, my MP will be exhausted by night!
However, the Mana Potions are right in front of me.
I can’t not use them.
After quickly finishing the food, I return to work.
The《Item Box》isn’t full yet.
Not yet?
Is it not yet?
How big is it!
I should have made quite a few by now.
I think I make about 5 per minute.
I weigh the raw materials and use Quick Recreate.
That’s it.
300 bottles for a nonstop hour?
It’s a ridiculous amount.
Well, I’m also recovering the summoned monsters who are fighting, so the pace is probably a bit slower.
Master and Juna must be able to fill them up in no time.
Yup.
Am I complaining?
I don’t think so.
There is a large inventory of raw materials and all.
