Chapter 336 Part 2
《【Alchemy】Level Up!》
While repairing my own equipment, my 【Alchemy】 leveled up.
Certainly, I’ve been engrossed in quite a lot of activities, so I’m rather exhausted myself.
I really can’t say I’ve come out of this completely unscathed.
This place is different from the W7 Map in that regard as well.
Over there, I could sometimes defeat Trolls without taking any damage.
But here, there’s no opponent I can beat without taking damage.
What both Maps have in common is that I cannot fight consecutively on either without making full use of my Magic skills.
In conclusion…
Either of these maps is as good and bad as the other.
What did I have for lunch?
Paella.
It’s been properly dyed yellow with saffron.
The aroma of seafood and olive oil mixed with the scent of rice…
Amazing.
Rice is definitely amazing.
It’s amazing even if it’s not a Japanese dish.
I devoured it in no time.
After finishing my meal, I checked the progress of Modulus’s work.
She’s making a scarf.
It’s not finished yet.
She’s using the Flame Sheep Wool.
There’s still yarn spun from the Snow Goat Fur.
Apparently, the quantity may not be enough for knitting a sweater.
Should I go hunting after all?
Maybe I could check the S1W6 Map to the south from here and then go to the S1W5 Map from there?
That might be a good idea…
But I want to stick around here today.
What’s going to be the lineup for the afternoon?
Let’s have Bunraku and Modulus return, and summon Taylor and Setsui.
Maybe they’ll somehow level up today?
Yeah, let’s do a bit of hunting as we move around.
It’s troublesome if the number of monsters to hunt decreases because we’ve stayed in one place for too long.
I feel like I was surprised at how many there were when I first came here.
But that’s completely changed now.
《Summoned Monster『Sputter』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
This was the first battle in the afternoon!
Well, our opponents were also quite strong, since they were four Level 11 Deva Emperors.
Sputter’s SPI increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose AGI as his second stat increase.
And there’s a new empty Skill slot.
The choices are Fire Attribute, Earth Attribute, and Water Attribute.
I’m making the same choice I made for Helix.
Sputter Fighting Falcon Lv6 → Lv7 (↑1)
DEX 13
AGI 31 (↑1)
INT 23
STR 13
VIT 13
SPI 16 (↑1)
Skills
Peck Flight Far Sight Wide Area Search Ambush Sense Danger Air Mobility
Wind Attribute Earth Attribute (New!)
Time for him to take a break.
I recall Sputter and summon Ignis.
Our fighting power remains unchanged.
Even the lineup itself appears to be unchanged.
But that’s fine.
Let’s get him to level him up by evening!
Deva Warlord – A-gyo Lv.1
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Fire Attribute, Water Resistance
Deva Warlord – Un-gyo Lv.1
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Earth Attribute, Wind Resistance
Deva Warlord – A-gyo Lv.1
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Wind Attribute, Fire Resistance
Deva Warlord – Un-gyo Lv.1
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Water Attribute, Earth Resistance
They look impressive, but…
This is bad.
They’re of a higher rank, aren’t they?
Above the level of a Deva Emperor.
Their body size isn’t all that much different from those.
But still…
They look completely different.
These ones are fully equipped with armor and helmet.
And their weapons don’t seem to be like your average Tokkosho…
Well, there were already some among the Deva Emperors who used weapons other than Tokkoshos.
「True Fighting Spirit!」「Bless!」「Meditate!」
Of course, I’ll be using my weapon arts.
Still, I had a bad feeling about this.
Which is why I’ll be using this as well:
「Boosted Power!」
We need a brute force approach here.
That’s what I ought to do.
I don’t have the luxury of talking about getting close to them and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
I can’t read how strong these opponents are.
I ought to use all of my power to completely wipe them out.
I throw the spear I had in my hand at the Deva Warlord that is at the front.
Then I follow up with a kukri.
Of course, I run at full speed to close the distance.
No holding back.
After throwing my two kukri knives, I grip my Tokkosho in my right hand.
Then I unleash its blade.
The Attribute I have set on it is still Lightning Magic.
This should be good for a while.
I hope this can paralyze them.
《【Staff】 Level Up!》
《【Summon Magic】 Level Up!》
《You have acquired the【Summon Magic】spell【Calm Monsters】!》
《You have acquired the Arc Summoner【Summon Magic】spell【Portal Guard】!》
《【Lightning Magic】 Level Up!》
《【Mental Reinforcement】 Level Up!》
《Job Level Up!》
《Racial Level Up! Please assign 1 point to any 2 desired stats.》
Ah…
That was scary.
Why do I say this?
Because, at one point, I was surrounded by all four Deva Warlords.
If Volff and Ignis hadn’t intervened to distract them and Setsui hadn’t deflected the attacks from two of them?
There’s a good chance that would’ve been it for me right then and there.
To think they’d suddenly focus all of their attacks on me like that, it’s not fair play!
But in battle, it’s a very valid thing to do.
Indeed, it is.
So, I would like to comment on various points brought up by the Info screen.
But before that, let’s take care of which of my stats to raise.
Base Stats
DEX 23
AGI 23
INT 34
STR 23 (↑1)
VIT 23 (↑1)
SPI 34
《You have gained 2 Bonus Point(s). You currently have a total of 33 Bonus Point(s).》
Well, it’s all set.
Should I consider this concluded?
As if!
Calm Monsters?
The Arc Summoner exclusive 【Summon Magic】 spell, Portal Guard?
And it seems these enemies have dropped some kind of item…
【Weapon: Two-handed Sword】 Indra’s Secret Sword Grade B- Rarity 7
AP ?? Destructive force ?? Weight 5+ Durability ??
Magical Item ?? Attribute
Weapon used by Heavenly Generals. Manifests itself by gaining the power of the user. Made of unknown materials.
It’s shaped as a thick two-handed sword with a translucent blade.
When not in use, the blade is absent. Many Heavenly Generals can wield it with one hand.
It can become a powerful weapon, but durability cannot be restored.
So, yeah.
Too many troublesome things happening all at once!
Time to calm down.
I’ve even used an Instant Portal, but what’s up with all this?
Calm down.
Just check them out one by one.
Let’s take a look at the spells.
What’s this Calm Monsters spell?
In simple terms, it seems to prevent monsters with a large difference in rank with the caster from approaching.
So, like anti-mosquito incense?
No, in this case, it would be more like bear bells?
So, what about the Arc Summoner spell, Portal Guard?
It seems to be a spell for deploying Summoned Monsters to protect bases.
In my case, the maximum is five.
What is a base?
In this case, it seems to be a portal.
It reminds me of the Fool’s Lithograph.
And of Master’s house as well.
His Magi Owl with his Minerva Owl, as well as his Golems with his Metalskins.
They had been most likely set there by this same spell.
It’s a bit unique in a sense.
The same spell is used to both designate and cancel the Summoned Monsters to be used with it.
It seems that there is some degree of freedom in summoning monsters, but of course it is not omnipotent.
And the Summoned Monsters’ range of action is surprisingly narrow, isn’t it?
However, while deployed at a base, there seems to be a bonus to their HP and MP recovery.
And the fact that they can even level up while deployed like this is a wonderful feature.
But not being able to specify stats when they level up like this is a downside.
Uh…
I have so many questions about this one.
Who should I consult about this?
Well…
I can only think of Master.
But I don’t know when I’ll see him again.
Come to think of it…
A question still remains.
It’s about Juna.
The monsters she had at her mansion were Doll Eyes, weren’t they?
Juna is a Death Cardinal.
That’s supposed to be a Necromancer-type.
Could it be?
Did she Class Change into a Necromancer after acquiring this spell?
Now, let’s try wielding the Indra’s Secret Sword.
My Boosted Power has already worn off, but my other spells are still effective.
Still, it’s difficult to control it while wielding it in one hand due to its weight.
The sword has no blade and it’s thick, making it feel like a blunt weapon.
I hold it with both hands and practice a few swings.
Hmm…
Not bad.
So, how about acquiring the 【Two-handed Sword】 skill?
It costs 11 Bonus Points.
Currently, I have 33 Bonus Points.
There’s no point in hoarding Bonus Points like this, right?
Let’s acquire and activate it.
So, what do I do now?
Let’s try using it right away.
Let’s set it to Lava Magic.
What will its true value be?
