Chapter 341 Part 4
After that, I leave Twilight Castle.
I wait for the number of other players in the vicinity to decrease before taking off on Aotsuki.
Now…
Let’s use
Calm Monsters.
I don’t want to have any unnecessary battles.
No, that’s not true.
If I’m going to hunt any monsters, I want them to be the ones that leave behind delicious items.
Delicious in more than one sense.
《【Pole Weapon】Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Aotsuki』 Level Up!》

Aotsuki has leveled up unexpectedly.
Come to think of it, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Even though they were of the Lesser species, I’ve been hunting quite a few Dragons.
So it’s not really all that surprising that she has leveled up now.
Aotsuki’s VIT increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose AGI as her second stat increase.
Speed is important after all.

But still, meat harvest is good.
Today, 【Disassembly】 is also working as intended.
Although actually carving the meat out of the monster’s corpses feels a bit tougher than before.
I’ve chosen Indra’s Halberd as my main weapon.
The reason is simple.
If I took the lead in charging, I wouldn’t be able to see Heather’s new fighting style.
Well, Indra’s Halberd itself isn’t half bad either.
It’s quite a long polearm, and it can be used in various ways.
I’ve seen the sport of polo before, but I’ve never actually played it.
So this is like aerial polo?
Maybe it feels something like that.
Hitting the bulls’ head with Indra’s Halberd…
It’s by no means easy.
And that’s why I enjoyed it.
So, about Heather.
Originally, until before her Class Change, she would move around in the air as if dancing.
That hasn’t changed.
In fact, her evasive ability is comparable to Couturier’s in aerial combat.
I don’t think anything short of an area-of-effect attack will be hitting her easily.
She can utilize that mobility very well in her attacks.
She charges from the air.
Did Heather always have this much power?
No.
Actually, let’s say that she probably didn’t.
But she charges in a way that feels like she’s trying to slam with her entire body.
It must be pretty powerful.
There have been instances where a Fighting Bull would be left on the brink of death from a single one of Heather’s charges.
At the same time, she can still use the same attacks she’s used before.
Showering enemies with lightning, launching water javelins at them, creating whirlwinds, and shooting boulders.
I’ve even seen her deploy several orbs of light around her and firing them one after another.
On top of that, she can now charge at enemies using her Lion Sage’s Lance.
It’s fantastic.
But perhaps trying to measure her true strength using only Fighting Bulls might be a little lukewarm.
Once I’ve secured a certain amount of Fighting Bull Beef, it’s time to move.
Let’s aim for a tougher opponent.
「Return Home!」
Let’s fly to Defense Valley in N2E12.
How well will she be able to counter a Snow Wyvern’s Breath attack?
I also want to see how much her equipment helps her with that.
Of course, this will also serve to increase our overall fighting power.
Kotohogi, Sputter, and Ignis…
I’d like you to do your best.

What time is it?
It’s 4:30 PM.
Did I get too carried away?
Halfway through the battle, I stopped paying attention to Heather’s fighting.
Kotohogi’s SPI increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose STR as his second stat increase.

Hmm?
It’s all coming together.
He’s doing good, but that’s enough for now.
He’s running low on MP.
I recall Kotohogi and summon Couturier.
It won’t be long until evening.
And Couturier’s MP bar is fully recovered.
This is great for earning experience points.
Feel free to use your Lure Skill, Couturier!

《Summoned Monster『Sputter』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
There is a reason why 【Pole Weapon】 and 【Cold Resistance】 leveled up in such a short time.
It’s Couturier.
How many Snow Wyverns has she killed?
I can’t remember!
I feel like I was fighting forever.
Moreover, many of them were high-leveled ones.
And that’s not all.
A few of them seemed to be of a higher rank than the average Snow Wyvern.
Ice Wyvern Lv.2
Demon Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Mid-Air ???
Moreover, these guys even have the nerve of having good synergy with the Snow Wyverns.
One of these was as troublesome as five high-level Snow Wyverns.
They can use their Breath attacks continuously.
What if I hadn’t used Resist Ice?
It would’ve been over.
What if I hadn’t used Rider-Horse Union?
It would’ve probably been over too.
What if Heather hadn’t been wearing armor with high resistance to Breath attacks?
She would’ve fallen halfway through the battle.
A fierce battle indeed.
Couturier’s Lure is incredible.
The experience points we’ve earned are incredible as well.
Ah, I almost forgot about Sputter’s stats!
Sputter’s AGI increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose SPI as his second stat increase.

But there’s more to the Info screen.
What is it?
《Summoned Monster『Ignis』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Oh, right.
It seems that there wasn’t that much of a difference between Sputter and Ignis in terms of experience points.
It’s not surprising that they leveled up at the same time.
Ignis’ SPI increased automatically upon leveling up.
And I’ll choose AGI as his second stat increase, yeah?

Alright.
It’s best not to neglect our AGI.
That’s my reasoning.
Let’s leave the new 【Pole Weapon】 weapon art aside.
The important thing here is that Couturier has sustained a stat penalty, but what’s this?
Her stats seem to have been reduced by about 70%.
She was under the effects of Resist Ice, too.
But it seems that nothing goes perfectly after all.
Let’s recall Couturier and summon Setsui.
Now comes the tough part.
There’s a lot of Disassembly work on the ground, waiting to be done.
I know that the bodies of the Snow Wyverns and others I killed first have already started to disappear.
Don’t rush.
Letting those Snow Wyvern corpses is certainly a waste, but the Ice Wyverns are also important.
I want to see what can be obtained from their corpses.
Time is also an issue.
Skinning this many of them will definitely take until dinner time.
Just to be sure, should I also use Calm Monsters to avoid being disturbed by monsters?
There’s a chance it won’t work, but still.
Well then.
Who will be the leading actor of this play?
【Disassembly】.
Teacher, if you please!
【Material】 Snow Dragonstone (Lesser) Raw material Grade B Rarity 7 Weight 7+
A mysterious secretion that protects the Ice Wyvern’s heart.
There is also a theory that it is the source that produces Ice Breath.
The stone itself contains powerful magic..
Woohoo!
The teacher has really outdone himself this time!
No, 【Disassembly】 isn’t just a teacher, but a great master!
What about the Snow Wyverns?
Leaving them for later is fine, but the monster corpses are piling up.
Although they are different in size from Ice Wyverns, they look very similar and have the same skin texture.
Let’s hurry up and stick my Survival Knife in to make the bodies disappear.
I’m getting a fair amount of Ice Flying Dragon Hide, Claws, and Needles.
Delicious.
But, you know.
The allure of the Snow Dragonstone (Lesser) is irresistible after all.
I can’t resist it, but…
There’s something eating the corpse of one of the Ice Wyverns.
No…
Let me correct myself.
There are some things eating the corpse of one of the Ice Wyverns.
Dragon Puppy Lv.5
Demon In Battle Battle Position: Ground
Fire Attribute Lava Attribute Breath
Dragon Puppy Lv.7
Demon In Battle Battle Position: Ground
Fire Attribute Lava Attribute Breath
Hey!
Wait a minute!
Who gave you permission to eat that?!
I can’t believe it’s you guys.
No way.
Are they the same ones from before?
Or rather, do you guys mind if I get an item from that corpse?
The fact that this corpse was under a Snow Wyvern corpse means that it must be one of the Ice Wyverns that I killed in the beginning.
I would like to try and get an item from it before it disappears.
I know that the Dragon Puppies are in the middle of eating.
But paying no mind to that, I thrust my Survival Knife regardless.
There were still Snow Dragonstones (Lesser) left, but…
The two Dragon Puppies started eating them.
Huh?
You can eat those?
This is bad.
I didn’t expect such a thing to happen!
I’d like to avoid fighting these yellow-marker Dragon Puppies.
Things could get dicey if a scary parent is looking after these nearby.
I would definitely be in trouble.
It would be better to finish skinning the other Ice Wyvern corpses while they’re busy eating this one!
This is my only option.
Minimize the damage.
Minimize the risk.
Now it’s a race against time!
I should make a choice soon.
I really should!
I was able to secure two additional pieces of Snow Dragonstone (Lesser), for a total of three.
The probability of getting one of these is about 50%?
It’s a good result.
But there’s a problem…
There’s one more corpse left.
And the two Dragon Puppies are eating that Ice Wyvern’s corpse.
Hmm…
Come on, gimme a break!
No matter how much I say this, it’s starting to get spooky around here.
The time is 6:20 PM, too.
It’s dinner time.
I have no choice.
Shall I deploy an Instant Portal here?
The Dragon Puppies are completely absorbed in their meal.
I’ll give up on getting any items from that Ice Wyvern’s corpse.
There’s a good chance that nothing comes off from it anyway.
At any rate, if I keep hunting here, I’ll eventually get more.
It’s not a big deal.
「Instant Portal!」
Of course, neither the Dragon Puppies nor the Ice Wyvern’s corpse will be seen from inside the Instant Portal.
However, it’s somewhat translucent, so I can tell that they’re still eating.
It feels a little like some kind of horror movie.
No, it feels quite a lot like that.
Oh well.
Time for me to have dinner as well.
I recall Aotsuki and summon Bunraku.
Heather and Setsui will stay for now.
I’ll also recall Sputter and Ignis.
What should I do after dinner?
Of course, I want to check if Ice Wyverns appear at night as well.
This is the time to hunt.
Let’s summon Jericho to act as the party’s tank.
And let’s summon Modulus as well, so that she can continue her knitting work.
This time, I’ll ask her to make some gloves.
