Chapter 302 Part 2
《Summoned Monster『Helix』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
The time is 6:30 PM.
I’ve been wondering if it was time for Helix to be replaced, but…
He suddenly leveled up.
Since he had a lot of battles with Argentavis, he was very active by using his own attacks to keep them in check.
Also, he has participated in several fierce battles over the past few days.
So it makes sense he’s leveled up, however…
Time for a Class Change, right?
Helix’s INT increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose SPI as his second stat increase.
Helix Fighting Falcon Lv11 → Lv12 (↑1)

《The Summoned Monster 『Helix』 has cleared the conditions for Class Change!》
《Please go to the Status Menu to access the Class Change options》
Hmm.
Shall we change classes?
Of course, let’s do it.
But this is something I want to take my time with and do carefully.
Besides, it’s dinner time.
How’s the timer on Ice Field’s effect?
There’s still plenty of time left.
Let’s deploy an Instant Portal.
There are no Lesser Gryphons for any Majins to be riding around here.
I think we should be fine.
I recall Kotohogi and summon Bunraku.
I also recall Goukame and summon Zangetsu.
That’s right.
Zangetsu and Helix might be compatible for Fuse Monsters.
I want to check if that’s true.
Just in case, I use Skating on the newly summoned Bunraku and Zangetsu.
I also removed Helix’s gear.
Then I activated Fusion Identification.
So, shall we do this?
《This Monster cannot be fused. A Class Change is required》
This is with Helix’s current state.
Let’s see…
What are the Class Change options we have here?
Class Change Options:
Firebird
Thunderbird
There are two choices.
Which one?
Which one should I preview first?
Let’s start with Firebird.
Helix Fighting Falcon Lv12 → Firebird Lv1 (New!)
DEX 17 (↑2)
AGI 32
INT 25
STR 19 (↑3)

Self-Recovery [Slight] (New!) Fire Attribute (New!) Wind Attribute Earth Attribute
【Firebird】 Summoned Monster Battle position: Mid-Air
A bird imbued with the power of fire. Also known as Flame Bird.
Its main means of attack are its beak, talons, and special abilities.
Its size is slightly larger than that of an eagle.
There have also been reports of individuals acquiring various abilities other than those of the Fire Attribute.
《This Monster cannot be fused.》
Hmm.
Maybe this isn’t the one I want.
Still, it’s a moderate improvement.
It has very good skills, too.
So, will the other one be able to be fused?
Helix Fighting Falcon Lv12 → Thunderbird Lv1 (New!)

【Thunderbird】 Summoned Monster Battle position: Mid-Air
A bird imbued with the power of fire. Also known as Thunderclap Bird.
Its main means of attack are its beak, talons, and special abilities.
Its size is slightly smaller than that of an eagle.
There have also been reports of individuals acquiring various abilities other than those of the Lightning Attribute.
《This Monster can be fused. A fusion partner is needed》
《Summoned Monster to be used as fusion partner found》
There we go.
That’s the one.
What will it become?
I have some predictions, though.
I unequip Zangetsu’s gear.
Well then.
Let’s do this.
「Fuse Monsters!」
I selected Zangetsu and Helix.
Then proceeded with the operation.
The appearance of the Summoned Monster that appeared as a result looks a bit like the old Zangetsu.
What should I name her?
I could leave her names as is.
But I’d like to make it something that is somewhat related to the previous name.
Aotsuki Pegasus Lv1 (New!)

【Pegasus】 Summoned Monster Battle position: Ground, Mid-Air
A sacred horse said to have high spiritual power.
It is also said to be the steed that carries with it the Lightning of the God of the Heavens.
Its main means of attack are headbutts, body strikes, and stomps.
It has a very violent temper and will only obey those it recognizes as its master.
Whoa!
She’s become even stronger, but…
What’s with that appearance?
Isn’t this closer to what Zangetsu looked like back when she was a White Horse rather than when she was a Unicorn?
She looks a bit bigger.
I try to equip her with her gear…
Yeah, I can adjust it and equip it without any issues.
By the way, now that she’s a Pegasus, where are her wings?
Before I finish asking myself that question…
Wings grow from Aotsuki’s back.
I’ve seen this before!
Airavatas do this as well.
In human terms, I guess they’re growing from around the shoulder area.
I hope they won’t get in the way when I ride her, or when I use my jousting spear when fighting.
I see some weird text on her Skills.
Horn Growth?
How does that work?
Let’s take a look at Aotsuki.
I’d like to see what it’s like.
She grows a Unicorn-like horn.
Well, it looks like it’s semi-transparent.
Now that I’ve taken another look at them, her wings are semi-transparent as well.
I try touching her wings.
I can feel them.
What kind of strange phenomenon is this?
I’d like to experience her new wings and horn’s true value, but…
It’s already getting late.
Let’s give up on that plan.
Besides, there’s still work to do.
I want to find Helix’s successor.
Obsidian could technically take his place, but it would be better to prepare an actual replacement.
Sputter Hawk Lv1 (New!)

Alright.
We’ve got some training to do.
Kurama the Oni.
And the same goes for Apnea the Dolphin.
Should we get them to fight some monsters?
But right now, I want to prioritize exploration.
Please understand.
Well then.
Let’s review our lineup.
Obsidian, Goukame, Strand, Taylor, and Kotohogi.
It looks like we still have a long way to go before we’ve traveled all the way through the S1W4 Map.
At worst, I want to do something about that today.
Is our evening march going well?
It looks like it is.
After all, Argentavis won’t attack us during the evening.
Other monsters will still attack us, though.
But still…
We found that something like this actually exists.
Skeleton Argentavis Lv.5
Demon Undead Enemy Target Active
Battle position: Mid-Air
That thing is gonna be troublesome, right?
Of course, all Undead are troublesome.
However, these guys only attack alone.
That means they just turn into good prey for my Summoned Monsters.
I managed to attack it with one of my spells, but I didn’t even get to hit with a melee attack once.
Yeah.
This is boring.
So boring!
What time is it?
10:10 PM.
We’ve finally made it through the swamp!
By the way, we entered the neighboring S2W4 Map.
It’s a complete change of scenery from a swamp into plains.
Like a wasteland, even.
It looks like the terrain here has no particular features.
It’s night now, and even with Noctovision, I can’t see very far.
I’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see what’s going on in this place.
Let’s hurry now.
We’re going straight south.
I want to unlock the area portal as quickly as possible.
I’d like to make as much progress as I can.
However…
A lineup change is necessary.
Let’s recall Goukame, Strand, and Taylor.
And I’ll summon Senki, Shishiku, and Raibun to replace them.
The current lineup is Obsidian, Senki, Shishiku, Raibun, and Kotohogi.
Once I’m done buffing us all up with my spells, it’s time to run!
I immediately noticed something unusual about this map.
Call Monster revealed nothing but swarms of Undead.
The number of monsters on these swarms varies between each other.
A group consisting of Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Sorcerers, and Skeleton Hunters.
Oh well.
I’ve faced those before.
A group of Vetalas.
These too I’ve fought before.
Though I get the impression that the ones here are of a higher level.
Skeleton Argentavis.
I just fought this one on the neighboring Map.
A swarm of Cursed Mists.
These form swarms too?
A group of Mummies.
And these groups are quite large, too.
Skeleton Pteranodon.
Why are these things here to begin with?
Skeleton Stegosaurus…
Gimme a break.
Skeleton Mammoth.
Those guys look like trouble!
It seems that the monsters that appear here are nothing but Undead.
Moreover, there’s plenty of Undeads from other Maps, right?
Maybe there are some Undead that appear on Maps I haven’t been to here.
What are my thoughts on the current lineup?
Obsidian acts as both scout and sentry, but he is neither good nor bad at dealing with Undead.
Should I keep him around?
Do we have enough strength to deal with the Undead?
We do.
Shishiku and Raibun will probably be displeased with the fact that they won’t be able to eat any meat from their prey, though.
Well then.
Are we ready to run?
It looks like Enervate Undead will be very useful here.
《Summoned Monster『Kotohogi』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Kotohogi’s MP bar is running low.
Or should I say, we’re about to reach midnight.
It’s obvious that we should call it a day here.
But before that…
Kotohogi’s INT increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose STR as his second stat increase.
Kotohogi Incubus Lv2 → Lv3 (↑1)

The time is 11:50 PM.
I wonder if Majins would even come this far.
Well, even if the Instant Portal is disabled, I’ll just appear in Twilight Castle when I log back in.
Let’s log out.
