Summoner is Going c236 – Part 3
Great.
It was a good opportunity to swap out Peptide.
There were other Summon Monsters I wanted to train.
I recalled Peptide, and summoned Romulus.
I could get Romulus to imitate Volff.
Well, they were at different levels, but at the end of the day they were both wolves, after all.
《Summon Monster『Romulus』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Woah! This was definitely way too early!
I hunted some Bugbears in quick succession, and Romulus levelled up in no time.
Well, I suppose this kind of thing would only happen at the lower levels anyway, so I could let it slide.
The stat that went up with Romulus’s level-up was AGI.
I put another point into DEX.
Romulus Wolf Lv1→Lv2(↑1)
DEX 10(↑1)
AGI 26(↑1)
INT 11
STR 10
VIT 14
SPI 11
Skills:
Bite Evade Threaten Listen
Yep, according to plan.
But Gokame’s level-up had not come yet.
Come on!
Come on, monsters! Come to me!
But before that, I had to switch out Romulus with another Summon Monster.
I took a bit for me to decide, but I eventually summoned Florin.
I was thinking of summoning Denier too, but I could train Denier both during the day and the night.
While it was night-time, I wanted to use the opportunity to train my bat Florin.
The time was still 10:20 pm.
And I still had more than 40% of my MP bar left.
I could still keep going for a bit.
As I kept going, the groups of Bugbears I was hunting started getting bigger.
As expected, 7 Bugbears was about my limit.
That was, of course, factoring in that Telomere could suck the Bugbears’ blood to get her MP back.
As usual, Telomere had no worries when it came to her MP bar, which was reliable on one hand, and scary on the other.
After Telomere finished off the last Bugbear she was sucking MP out of after another big group fight, an info screen appeared.
Gokame’s level-up?
《Summon Monster『Bunraku』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Ah, no, it wasn’t.
But I had no complaints.
I hadn’t seen Bunraku fight in the rear in a very long time.
But as a result, my supply of arrows was also decreasing at a fast rate.
It was about time to start thinking about getting some more.
The stat that went up with the level-up was DEX.
I put another point into AGI.
Bunraku Metalskin Lv3→Lv4(↑1)
DEX 30(↑1)
AGI 11(↑1)
INT 21
STR 14
VIT 14
SPI 14
Skills:
Two-handed Spear Bow Cooking Magic Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Small]
And it looked like there were more info screens waiting for me.
Was it another level-up?
《Summon Monster『Gokame』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
It was finally here.
I was waiting for this!
The stat that went up with the level-up was VIT.
I put another point into AGI.
Gokame Giant Tortoise Lv7→Lv8(↑1)
DEX 4
AGI 10(↑1)
INT 18
STR 15
VIT 26(↑1)
SPI 21
Skills:
Bite Defend Magic Resistance [Slight] MP Regeneration [Slight] Earth Attribute Water Attribute
《Summon Monster『Gokame』has cleared the Class Change conditions!
《Please go to the Monster’s status screen to access the Class Change candidates.》
I didn’t want to be disturbed by the surrounding monsters, so I quickly set up an Instant Portal.
What were the options going to be…
First, I recalled Bunraku inside the Instant Portal.
I summoned Naraka.
Afterwards, I took a look at Gokame’s Class Change Candidates.
I had to be sure I didn’t forget to use Fusion Identification too.
What about before the Class Change?
I already knew what the result was going to be, but I checked again, just in case.
《The target is not an eligible Summon Monster for fusion.》
Yep.
Let’s try checking the Class Change Candidates?
Class Change Candidates:
Forest Tortoise
Marsh Turtle
There were two candidates.
The first name was a name I had seen before.
It was that big tortoise I encountered in the forest.
I remembered it being a troublesome opponent who made full use of stone bullets and water walls.
Hmm?
Now that I thought about it, it was quite similar to the fighting style that Gokame was already using.
Well, that was fine.
It would be a good choice, but I wanted to check the other option too.
I decided to start from the Forest Tortoise.
Gokame Giant Tortoise Lv8→Forest Tortoise Lv1(New!)
DEX 4
AGI 10
INT 20(↑2)
STR 16(↑1)
VIT 29(↑3)
SPI 23(↑ 2)
Skills:
Bite Defend Magic Resistance [Small](New!) MP Regeneration [Slight](New!)
Earth Attribute Water Attribute Tree Attribute(New!)
Oh!
It would definitely be a big jump in fighting power.
And the way that its VIT increased was definitely very tortoise-like.
【Forest Tortoise】Summon Monster Battle Position: Ground, Beach
A fairly large tortoise. Its main methods of attack are its bite and its Special Skills.
Its movements are slow, but it’s tough and suited to the front lines.
It performs best in forests, along with beaches, and shallow waters.
《The target is not an eligible Summon Monster for fusion. A Class Change is required.》
I see… That’s nice.
I guess that meant that if I kept training Gokame, I could eventually fuse him.
The Class Change seemed to be a normal step forward too.
But…
I wanted to look at the other candidate too.
Gokame Giant Tortoise Lv8→Marsh Turtle Lv1(New!)
DEX 5(↑1)
AGI 12(↑2)
INT 18
STR 16(↑1)
VIT 28(↑2)
SPI 21
Skills:
Bite Defend Aquatic(New!) Night Vision(New!) Magic Resistance [Slight]
MP Regeneration [Slight] Earth Attribute Water Attribute
【Marsh Turtle】Summon Monster Battle Position: Underwater, Ground
A fairly large water turtle. Its main methods of attack are its bite and its Special Skills.
Its legs are adapted for swimming, but it’s also possible for it to fight on the ground.
It performs best underwater.
《The target is not an eligible Summon Monster for fusion. A Class Change is required.》
Hmm…
It seemed to be a Summon Monster more adapted to underwater combat.
Although the text said it could fight on the ground too, I had a feeling it was going to be quite weak anywhere else but in the water.
Although it definitely would be convenient to have another underwater Summon Monster.
And on top of that, they both had future Class Changes leading to fusion targets…
It was a bit hard to picture what that fusion Summon Monster would look like.
Well, I did have some ideas in mind, but it seemed far too early to make any definitive guesses.
The Forest Tortoise seemed like the more natural choice, so I decided to go with that.
So, how much bigger did Gokame grow?
He grew by a lot!
It was exactly like that Forest Tortoise I fought in the past.
It was an amazing sight.
Gokame’s weight definitely just about doubled too!
Well, I didn’t have a scale or anything to confirm that, but it definitely looked like that was the case.
So Gokame was now as heavy as that monster that even Senki had a hard time rolling over, huh…
Probably.
But…
I decided to recall Gokame.
I could leave seeing Gokame in action for another time.
I wanted to use Gokame in the forest, where, as the name suggested, a Forest Tortoise would shine best.
For the time being, I wanted to train some of my other Summon Monsters.
I summoned Goki.
I hadn’t used Goki in a long time, after all.
I wanted to see him go wild again.
The time was 11:20 pm.
I wanted to end the day on a good note, and an opportunity to do that finally came.
It was an info screen.
《【Ice Magic】Level Up!》
《【Lightning Magic】Level Up!》
《【Physical Reinforcement】Level Up!》
《Summon Monster『Florin』Level Up!
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
I made it in time.
I was grateful that I managed to get the level-up before the date changed.
Without something like this, I would really never know when to stop.
The stat that went up with Florin’s level-up was INT.
I put the other point into VIT.
Florin Bat Lv6→Lv7(↑1)
DEX 17
AGI 21
INT 12(↑1)
STR 10
VIT 11(↑1)
SPI 10
Skills:
Bite Flight Echolocation Evade Ambush Suck Blood
Florin was also only one more step away from a Class Change.
Using Resist Thunder and Ice Wall definitely had a purpose to it.
Thanks to that, I could log out in a good mood.
I returned to just outside the Grey Forest, and set up an Instant Portal.
Before logging out, I tried summoning and recalling all of my Summon Monsters to see if I had any Summon Monsters that could fuse with Gengetsu.
There were none.
There were no Summon Monsters that fit that category.
What would be that other Summon Monster, though…
I was definitely a mystery I wasn’t even close to solving.
I gave up and decided to call it a day and log out.
It was already quite late into the night anyway.
I had to log in tomorrow at the arranged meeting time.
It was something I couldn’t forget.
Yep, it was definitely something I couldn’t forget.
