Chapter 282 Part 2
I’m back.
It seems like Irina’s done with her business.
Then let’s continue heading west.
However, I’m going to change the lineup.
I’ll summon Volff, Obsidian, Shishiku, Telomere, and Oma.
It seems that Adele and Irina are also slightly changing their formations.
Orthros is recalled in favor of the chimera Pero-chan joins him.
In the Nue’s place, a viper, Speck, is summoned.
The Viper seems to be on the verge of a class change.
And if it can change classes, Irina will get a Chimera on her team.
Yeah.
Go for it.
Should I try too?
No, would it be more efficient to just handicap myself and spar with Radical?
For now I guess I’ll just prioritize exploration.

『This guy’s trouble』
『Don’t poison me!』
「Well, poison is a nuisance, but」
What kind of monster is the Cloud Slime?
It’s a slime that floats in the air.
It’s quite large.
That’s it.
No really, that’s all I can say.
If there were something else to mention?
It’s transparent, and there are several bubbles inside.
They’re all tangled up.
And they look like nuclei.
I guess it helps that they move slowly.
『Should we burn it? We’ll definitely get poisoned but』
『Antidotes should work, but stat debuffs huh…』
「Let’s burn it. I have a countermeasure」
I look at Telomere.
A number of fireballs materialize above her head and shoot at the monsters.
The monster is embraced by vibrant flames.
And that stench.
It smells like shit!
I use Air Current Control to blow away the scent.
Part of the Cloud Slime’s body has fallen to the ground and seems to continue emitting some kind of smoke.
It doesn’t stop!
I know it’s poison, but.
It seems like even if I use Air Current Control to blow away the stench, the poison gets through.
Except for the two vampires, Telomere and Boman, we’re all poisoned.
This is gonna hurt!
「Detoxification!」
It’s an antidote spell.
However, there are 16 targets to detoxify.
But I can detoxify more than one person with a single spell so it’s not that much trouble.
『That Tree Magic spell, Detoxification, sure is convenient』
『Too convenient!』
「It is indeed convenient」
Hm?
Adele looks to be impressed.
And Irina seems amazed.
《【Poison Resistance】Level Up!》
Well, it’s only natural for that to level up.
That aside.
With its large body’s engulfed in flames, the cloud slime falls to the ground.
Keeping a slight distance, I continue to detoxify.
Is the poison gone yet?
I’ve been waiting to see what item it drops.
【Material】Rivalry Stone Raw Material Quality C+ Rarity 3 Weight 2+
A transparent stone said to have the effect of preventing poison.
The stone itself is also poisonous, and if taken in powder form will cause death.
Is this a case of that?
Using poison to fight poison?
But it seems like you can’t ingest it.
Maybe there’s another way to use it.
This is what happens when you have the apothecary skills but not the knowledge to use them.
After wrapping up the detoxification, I check the surroundings with Call Monsters.
Any Cloud Slime?
Not many.
Probably the rarest monster.
The others are as usual.
No, they seem to be working in packs, so they’re definitely more troublesome than the daytime.
「You two, how long do you think you can keep going?」
『How does 11 p.m. sound?』
『I’m good until 11:30!』
「Then let’s keep moving west, aiming for 11 o’clock」
Well, we shouldn’t be reckless.
The girls are probably hunting at a completely different pace than usual.
The Racchangos are fine.
The White Elephants- no, Airavatas are an interesting opponent.
They’re strong, no doubt.
Stronger than a pack of minor gryphons, that’s for sure.
What do I mean by interesting?
They have completely different attitudes in the air and on the ground.
I get the feeling that it’s easier to deal with them in the air.
Adele and Irina disagree on this point.
I think it’s because of the tree magic spell, Thorn Fence, to intercept them.
If they get stuck, it’s checkmate.
Easy as pie.
However, it was tough when we were attacked by a group of three.
We have plenty of air power, but.
Those heavyweight elephants flying around in the sky like that are pretty scary.
And Gravity Prison doesn’t work very well.
But what makes me happiest of all is the items.
The White Elephant Tusks drop consistently
It’s about one tusk per two elephants hunted, but that’s more than good enough.
And I feel like I can use it for something.
From the shape it clearly seems like it’ll turn out to be a spear.
It’s pretty heavy for an item, but it should be okay for a spear to have some heft, right?
I’ll have to make one somewhere and compare.
And the Lesser Gryphons.
I’m pretty sure the Cloud Slime is the most troublesome thing on this map.
But I think the strongest one is the Lesser Griffon.
It hurts that there’s no way to escape once you’ve been caught.
But that’s okay.
At least there haven’t been any with riders yet.
I’m also a little confused about the fact that gold ore doesn’t drop easily.
Did I offend【Disassembly】somehow?
I can’t think of anything.
The time is 10:50 PM.
It’s a little early, but I deployed the Instant Portal.
The reason is simple.
Irina’s Viper, Speckle, leveled up.
Within the instant portal, it changed class to a Venom Python.
Leonardo, the Man-eating Lion, was summoned, and a new chimera was born.
And it seems to be taking on Leonardo’s name.
Overall, our power level has taken another big leap.
Both of them took out spell cloths similar to mine and started repairing their equipment.
When did that happen?
「We can do equipment repairs if you want, but?」
「Oh, I got that cloth recently too. No need. I’ll take care of it myself」
「Understood」
After finishing her repairs, Irina summoned a new Viper and retired.
Adele also logged out after doing her repairs.
Now.
We’ve got a little time, right?
We could fight.
I could make something with the White Elephant Tusks.
In total I have seven tusks.
Keeping in mind Adele and Irina’s portions, I think I can use two of them?
But first, sparring.
Let’s do a little test.
I’ll recall Obsidian and summon Goki.
I’m gonna borrow your sword for a bit okay?
And you’ll be my opponent too.
Goki’s weapons are a machete and shield.
I pick up the steel straight sword and try a few swings.
It’s definitely heavy.
And it probably feels even more so since the Tokkosho I usually use is so light.
It’s definitely lighter than the Snow Beast Mace though.
Well.
Can I really unlock【Two-handed Sword】?
My【Sword】skill has already hit level 12..
I can meet the STR rec of 25 with the help of some spell enhancements.
Physical Enchant: Fire and Gravity Mail.
Of course, to close the gap in power level I cast them on Goki too.
In general it’s a good idea to use as many enchantments as possible.
The tougher the opponent, the better.
Then.
Let’s do it.
《A Skill Link has been established! You may learn the following Weapon Skill:【Two-handed Sword】》
We’ve had three battles.
Goki took the first two, and after I won one, I easily unlocked it.
Well, that’s what I expected, but there’s a bit of a problem.
How could I let Goki take the lead!
I was tempted to continue fighting with the sword, but I’ll try to hold myself back.
The next one is【Javelin】.
I think I meet the requirements.
I can actually throw a spear.
Let’s give it a try.
《A Skill Link has been established! You may learn the following Weapon Skill:【Javelin】》
I knew I could.
But it took a little time, didn’t it?
I fought eight battles.
It seems like I won two and lost six.
While collecting the Swordfish Spear I threw, I think.
Aren’t I too far behind in wins?
But still, you know.
They’re expensive to unlock, as expected.
【Two-handed Sword】costs 11.
【Javelin】is 9.
And【Heavy Hammer】is 8.
Hmm.
By the way,【Whip】and【Nunchaku】are also 9.
I don’t have any of the actual weapons.
And they’re too expensive to just get and activate on their own.
When I get a good weapon, they’ll be handy just to have available.
For example, Indra’s Halberd.
【Two-handed Spear】isn’t high enough level yet, but I am interested in【Pole Weapon】.
Although it depends on the cost.
Then.
Should I change my weapon and continue fighting?
But the time is 11:50 PM.
That’s it for tonight.
I go through repairs for the summoned monsters and my equipment.
I just barely managed to log out before midnight.
Tomorrow’s another day of exploration.
We’ll continue to aim for the Majins.
Compared to the last event, there are fewer, which is a little unnerving.
They must still be out there somewhere.
Of course, just looking for them won’t satisfy me.
I’m going to hunt as many as I can.
Majin hunting, I guess.
