Chapter 291 Part 3
The number of attacks by monsters related to the Majins may have decreased sharply…
But still.
The monsters commonly found on this map still attack as always.
Great Moles, Twin-horned Lizards, and Majin-less Lesser Gryphons.
And I continued to hunt them as always.
Never using Invisibility.
The reason for that is simple.
I want to hunt
No, that’s not it.
I want to get the items they drop when I hunt them.
I want the spoils, you know?
Adele and Irina had no objections about it.
They harvest meat from the Twin-horned Lizards we hunt.
According to Irina, it seems that Twin-horned Lizard meat is very good for making portable food.
But in Adele’s opinion, its taste is lacking.
Well, there’s a lot of it, and I know that the two of them are making portable food in their spare time.
So it’s a godsend.
Let’s keep hunting these as much as we can.
Of course, we can also get Gold Ore from Lesser Gryphons, although it has a low drop rate.
And my main goal is the jewels that the Great Moles can drop.
Those are the best.
Tough to get, but still the best.
After all, hunting is even more fun when you know that you could get items from the monsters you defeat!
『We’ll log out for now.』
『We’ll be back as soon as possible!』
「Oh, it’s fine, take it easy.」
What time is it?
11:10 AM.
Oh, I’m sorry, I got carried away and haven’t started hunting Majins yet.
I’ve already had an early lunch.
I’ve also changed my lineup to one that is more appropriate for hunting Majins.
Goki, Tigris, Modulus, and Kiyohime.
Bunraku has been excavating ancient stone pillars from the beginning while deploying Instant Portals.
So what have I been doing?
I’ve been working on making the Spears Adele and Irina requested.
These Spears will be for their Mermaids, though.
They asked for these Spears to be short, and they must be weapons that even a Mermaid, who has low attack power, can wield.
Of course, Adele and Irina provided the materials for this request.
The crafting fee can be settled later, but they still gave me 1 White Elephant Tusk.
That’s enough.
Let’s make one for Nias while we’re at it.
【Weapon: Spear】 White Elephant Spear Grade C+ Rarity 5
AP+20 M・AP+7 Power 3+ Weight 4+ Durability 480
Hit Rate Increase [Slight] Unconscious Chance Increase [Slight]
A Spear with a tip made out of a White Elephant Tusk. Its short size makes it easy to handle.
Albeit small, it has an increased hit rate and an increased chance to stun opponents.
There is no doubt that it is quite heavy compared to the Needlefish Spear.
But, you know?
I think the Needlefish Spear is way too light anyway.
This one should be good enough, right?
Well then.
Shall I make the next two?
I’ll leave any fighting for after I’ve finished working on these.
Irina came back first, followed by Adele a little later.
There have been no Majin attacks.
I haven’t strayed off too far from our landmark, the Kim Kui Slave.
Nothing unusual happened.
Well, there was one thing.
A Twin-horned Lizard passed by at close range.
It made me feel a bit anxious despite the fact that I knew I was inside an Instant Portal.
I mean, it was huge.
It was a little scary.
「Shall we get going then?」
「I have to summon my monsters! Hurry, hurry!」
「Adele, don’t rush it, okay?」
Well, while the two of them started summoning their monster, I recalled Bunraku.
Taking its place comes Kotohogi.
So my lineup now is Goki, Tigris, Modulus, Kiyohime, and Kotohogi.
Yeah.
I love exploiting my opponents’ weak points.
What is Adele’s lineup?
Mystic Eye, Lesser Ogre, Mermaid, Sea Snake, and Big Spider.
These are also oriented for exploiting enemies’ weak points.
And what about Irina’s?
Clay Golem, Mermaid, Oni, Big Spider, and Werewolf.
As expected, another formation focused on exploiting our enemies’ weak points.
This is a good trend.
I hand over the first White Elephant Spear to Irina before leaving the Instant Portal.
The second one will take a little longer to finish.
Well, it shouldn’t take me much longer once I sit down to finish it.
Well then.
Should we try to approach the Kim Kui Slave?
There seem to still be a lot of monsters around it.
Let’s do it a favor and clear some of them away, shall we?
《【Pole Weapon】 Level Up!》
《【Jump】 Level Up!》
《【Acrobatics】 Level Up!》
Our hunt is going well.
We have 3 Summoned Monsters that can use webbing, plus 2 snake-types.
And we also have the support from our Mermaids.
This last battle turned out to be quite a flawless one.
With the addition of our Class Changed Summoned Monsters, we’ve been planning to raise our overall fighting ability, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t hitting just as hard as before anymore.
The Lesser Ogre and Clay Golem on our side can cover for that quite nicely.
Not only do we have a geographical advantage here, we’re also attacking them by surprise.
It’s ironic that we’re the ones who have the initiative even though they’re the ones coming to attack our Instant Portals in the first place.
It’s actually really funny!
And there’s been a change in Irina’s lineup.
Her Oni Souen has undergone a Class Change.
He hasn’t turned into a Rakshasa…
It became a Gohou.
Hmph.
I had this thought earlier this morning as well, but its appearance reminds me of the Twelve Heavenly Generals.
It looks quite dignified, doesn’t it?
What the…? It looks really cool!
The Rakshasa’s quiet yet brutal aura is hard to ignore either, but this one looks really nice as well.
This won’t do.
I’m starting to want a new Summoned Monster.
I have already decided to summon a Dolphin next.
But the next one after that will be an Oni.
I wonder what kind of weapon I should give them?
Hey, hey.
I shouldn’t get carried away daydreaming about this kind of thing.
I finished the White Elephant Spear for Adele’s Mermaid before the next wave of Majins came to attack us.
They may be two Mermaids, but they also provide support with their songs from the beginning of the battle.
Midway through the battle, they used their new Spears to stab the Majins and Lesser Gryphons that had been rendered immobile with spider webs.
The Mermaids aren’t very powerful in terms of physical strength.
That’s only natural.
However, the White Elephant Spears have their trademark moderately high attack power and destructive power.
They may seem simple, but the damage they can deal does pile up.
But still, what’s this?
Even though it’s at spear range, I didn’t expect to see Mermaids fighting in the front lines.
Who do they take after?
I’m sure they must have been inspired by Souen’s battle style.
《【Magic Effect Amplification】 Level Up!》
《【Magic Range Expansion】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster 【Tigris】 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a stat of your choice.》
Tigris has his own battle style.
After all, he’s pretty nimble for his huge size.
He often follows me and launches a surprise attack of his own from the top of a tree.
Good grief, and who do you take after?
Tigris’ AGI has increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose VIT as his second stat increase.
Tigris Sturmtiger Lv7 → Lv8 (↑1)
DEX 11
AGI 26 (↑1)
INT 11
STR 26
VIT 26 (↑1)

Hmm.
His numbers are lining up nicely again, aren’t they?
I hope they continue to do so in the future.
The time is 3:10 PM.
Already?
By the way, are those two okay with the time?
「Hey, Adele, Irina. What about the time?」
『Today we can stay around until after dinner.』
『I’m getting an Arachne today! Let’s go!』
Oh.
Having a clear goal makes a difference in her enthusiasm.
Then what should I do?
Let’s continue to increase our fighting power.
I recall Tigris and summon Goukame.
Turtles can also launch surprise attacks.
You have to prove it!
Come to think of it, there’s also been a change in Irina’s lineup.
Her Big Spider Orihime has become a Room Spider.
And it seems that she has recalled her Gohou and summoned her Viper in his place.
「What are you aiming for, Irina?」
『The Arachne is good, but I think a Lamia would be nice too.』
『I’m going to get a Lamia too!』
Well, that’s right.
Seeing something up close turns it into something to aim for.
Such a thing will always stimulate the collector inside each of us.
