Chapter 312 Part 1

《【Dark Magic】Level Up!》
《【Seal Magic】Level Up!》

The time is 6:10 PM.
Some stuff Leveled Up, huh?
Oh well, whatever.

More than that, the passage of time is strange.
Was I too absorbed in this?
Probably so.

Is it time to wrap things up here?
The Majin Il Capitano’s MP bar is just about to run dry.
Will I have to do it the kindness to give it a Mana Potion?
No, that would be a bit of a waste.

Besides…
I’m getting tired of it.
I was kinda hoping that another Majin would come to attack me.
Modulus had set traps in this area of the Bamboo Woods.
Hmm.
I look at Il Capitano.
Maybe he doesn’t have many friends?

What is the situation around here?
The presence of monsters seems to have intensified.
As expected, it would be difficult for large monsters to invade the Bamboo Woods.
And when I check with Call Monster?
I find that there are some Airavatas and Racchangos, as well as Lesser and Minor Gryphons.
Also…
It’s almost night.
There is no doubt that Vetalas will also start appearing.
It wouldn’t be that difficult for those guys to invade these Bamboo Woods.

Yeah.
That settles it.

The Majin Il Capitano was killed by my Summoned Monsters while it was still restrained.
I think it passed away without much pain in the end.
Oh well.
I was busy with several other things.

《Summoned Monster『Volff』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Hmm?
Did Il Capitano actually yield a good number of experience points?
Whoops…
I should have joined in to finish it off!

Volff’s STR increased automatically upon leveling up.
Should I go with AGI for his second stat increase?

Volff　Silver Wolf Lv3 → Lv4 (↑1)
　DEX　15
　AGI　38 (↑1)
　INT　15
　STR　26 (↑1)
　VIT　26
　SPI　15

　Skills
　Bite　Dash　Threaten　Psychic　Hide　Pursue
　Night Vision　Conceal　Self Regeneration [Slight]　Magical Resistance [Slight]

But…
The Info doesn’t stop there.

《Summoned Monster『Modulus』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Hmm.
Maybe I should have participated in the kill after all.
It’s already too late though.

Modulus’ VIT increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose AGI as her second stat increase.

Modulus　Arachne Lv3 → Lv4 (↑1)
　DEX　25
　AGI　25 (↑1)
　INT　28
　STR　10
　VIT　11 (↑1)
　MEN　28

　Skills
　Bite　Evade　Vibration Detection　Echolocation　Conceal　Magical Resistance [Medium]
　MP Recovery [Medium]　Spin Web　Trap　Sew　Spacetime Attribute　Light Attribute
　Dark Attribute　Earth Attribute　Water Attribute　Poison　Paralysis

And the Info is still going on.
But I guess this will be the last time.

《Summoned Monster『Kiyohime』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Here’s what I’m thinking.
There were other Majins with special names, right?
If I have a chance to finish those off, I’ll participate.
I’ve learned a lesson here today.

Kiyohime’s VIT increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose STR as her second stat increase.

Kiyohime　Lamia Lv2 → Lv3 (↑1)
　DEX　12
　AGI　26
　INT　28
　STR　20 (↑1)
　VIT　25 (↑1)
　SPI　28

　Bite　Wrap　Scent Detection　Heat Detection　Echolocation　Hide
　Magical Resistance [Medium]　MP absorption [Small]　Bloodsucking　Spacetime Attribute 　Light Attribute　Dark Attribute　Fire Attribute　Earth Attribute　Poison　Charm

《The Majin 『Il Capitano』 has been defeated! 》
《You have acquired the Title【Majin Slayer】!》

Alright.
It looks like I’ve acquired a new Title.
Though it’s a mystery as to what will change with this.
I’m sure we’ve already killed quite a lot of Majins so far, but does this mean that all of them have been small fry compared to Il Capitano?
They were some troublesome small fry, though.

Then, Il Capitano’s corpse disappears like smoke.
The same goes for its mysterious rapier.
In the end, I couldn’t do 【Appraise】, so I’m okay with it vanishing, but…
Did it leave anything at all behind?

It did.
Here’s what it dropped.

【Equipment: Ring】 　Majin’s Ring　Grade B+　Rarity 9
　M・AP+???　Weight 0+　Durability ???
　One of the oath items unique to Majins. Made of unknown material.
　Its pedestal is inlaid with three matching Diamond beads.
　A special ring whose benefits vary depending on the wearer.
　※ Effect: ???

It’s not cursed, is it?
That’s how I feel about this ring.
What should I do with this?
I can’t help but feel like I won’t be able to see its effects until I actually equip it, and that it smells like a trap.

Shall I put this on hold for now?
I’d like to have dinner first.
This place is likely to become noisy as night draws near.

The area around the Bamboo Woods was full of monsters.
It looks like we’re being surrounded.
Even if that’s not the case, could it be that I’m being targeted?
Well, I should think of this as a good thing.

All I have to do is turn them into experience points.

I don’t think I can afford to have a leisurely meal.
I’ve filled my stomach with Portable Food.
Let’s review the lineup.
I recall Modulus and Kiyohime.
Let’s take the plunge and recall Volff as well.
I just want to rearrange my lineup and send back the Summoned Monsters that have just Leveled Up to increase our overall fighting power!
What should I add to replace them?
Senki, Heather, and Tigris.
Together with Obsidian and Oma, I think this will create a lineup with a good balance of mobility and attack power.

Let’s take a look at the monsters in the area before that.
So, where should I start hunting?
Let’s start with the troublesome ones first.
This would be the airborne monsters.

We need to hurry, since the Vetalas will start to appear soon.
Well, they were a great help back when I was testing Boosted Power for the first time, but they’re still too troublesome to deal with.
I want to avoid interacting with them too much if possible.

Well, since we’ve come all the way here, it would be a good idea to go a little further west and do some night hunting tonight.
The W5 area portal was destroyed during the event, so there’s probably going to be fewer players than usual around here.
Should I go see the tower that seems to be the relay portal at the western end of W5?
Let’s do that.

It’s better to have some concrete goals.
This one is also a fairly difficult goal.
From this point on, it might be quite difficult to reach the western edge of the W5 map while hunting at night.
That’s because we need to be quick on the move.
But we’ll dare to take on the challenge.
I don’t think it’s impossible or unreasonable.
Then there’s no reason for us not to try, right?

But before that…
There are monsters gathered around the Bamboo Woods, so we’ll clear them out.
It’s a good way to earn some experience points.
Oh yeah, what should I do about my main weapon?
Let’s see…
Should I use Indra’s Halberd?
I’ll keep only my Kukris as my throwing weapons.
There are a lot of monsters in the air, so I prefer their longer range.

《【Pole Weapon】Level Up!》
《【Evade】Level Up!》
《【Block】Level Up!》
《【Wind Magic】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Senki』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Still…
There were too many monsters!
It took me almost an hour to deal with them all!

This may make my original goal impossible to achieve.
Well, we still ought to keep moving.
There are no more monsters around the Bamboo Woods.

Senki’s STR increased automatically upon leveling up.
We’ll go with VIT for his second stat increase, okay?

Senki　Ogre Lv1 → Lv2 (↑1)
　DEX　16
　AGI　27
　INT　6
　STR　38 (↑1)
　VIT　38 (↑1)
　SPI　6

　Skills
　Punch　Kick　Throw Object　Block　Evade　Climb　Throw
　Joint Lock　Threaten　Self Regeneration [Slight]

It feels as if Senki was Leveling Up very quickly.
Well, isn’t it appropriate considering how much he has thrashed about at Twilight Castle?
Maybe so.

But let’s switch Senki out here.
I recall Senki and summon Kurama.
This is a good opportunity for him.
Let’s head west while drawing monsters in with Call Monster.
Kurama should be able to earn some experience points.

It looks like we’ll be able to check the destroyed relay portal and the W6 Map beyond it tomorrow.
That is if no Majins come to attack my Instant Portal.
Well, putting that aside…

What should we hunt as we move forward?
I want an opponent that is easy for Kurama to fight.

「Gishaah!」

Kurama let out a deep growl.
Yeah.
I think this will eventually turn into a battle cry.

The monster we get with Call Monster is a Vetala.
Well, I think it’s easy to fight.
It’s still a somewhat annoying opponent, though.

《Summoned Monster『Obsidian』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Obsidian’s Level Up came first!
Does that mean…?
Yeah, it’s Class Change time!

Whoops, let’s hurry up and continue.
Obsidian’s SPI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose VIT as his second stat increase.

Obsidian　Mystic Eye Lv11 → Lv12 (↑1)
　DEX　15
　AGI　25
　INT　24
　STR　16
　VIT　16 (↑1)
　SPI　25 (↑1)

　Skills
　Peck　Silent Flight　Far Sight　Night Vision　Ambush　Sense Danger　Divine Hearing
　Wind Attribute　Water attribute

《The Summoned Monster 『Obsidian』has cleared the conditions for Class Change!》
《Please go to the Status Menu to access the Class Change options》

Alright.
What are we waiting for?
