Heavenly General Basara Lv.1

Heavenly General Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Melting Attribute  Ice Resistance

Hellhound Lv.9

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Fire Attribute  Dark Attribute

The enemies are getting stronger again.

What will the difference be this time?

Well, at least this should make the fight itself more worthwhile.

There are 2 Hellhounds.

Thankfully I have applied Fire and Dark Resistance to my vanguard, sho they shouldn’t have any trouble dealing with them.

I mean, we would have been fine even without them, but it was nice to have an insurance just in case.

Because the vanguard is safe, I can feel safe as well.

The problem is going to be the Heavenly General himself.

This is going to be a contest of sword versus sword.

But even though it might be tough, I can’t resist the feeling of elation at the thought of how much fun am I going to have.

So we clashed with each other.

We are now locked in a struggle to push the other one back.

Since Meikira was wielding a spear, I had difficulties with closing the gap between us.

But all I had to do to gain the upper hand again was to wait for a moment when he was wide open after an attack and capitalize on that moment as much as I could.

But right now, I cannot do that.

We are locked in close quarters combat, so we don’t have that much room for maneuvering.

Of course, the sword is as much as, if not even more dangerous, as the spear.

So I have no intention of letting myself be slashed.

But even so…

This battle has brought me immense amounts of fun.

I tried to cut one of his arms off.

The feeling of the blade as it tore through the flesh with its momentum was truly exhilarating.

Crap, I’m getting too much enjoyment out of this.

I’ll have to finish it soon.

I slashed at his ankle, and when he fell on its knees I cut off its arm.

Then I walked in front of him and grinned.

Then I ordered Strand to strangle him to death.

This will kill him for sure.

Another one down! So, who’s next?!

General Kubira Lv.3

Heavenly General  Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground  Fire Attribute Lightning Resist

Muscle Boar Lv.8

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground  Earth Attribute

Yup.

No more surprises.

The boars are also 3.

But I think they were considerably smaller the last time I fought against them.

Their current size is obviously different.

They are getting bigger!

The General used a sword.

Fighting him was a lot of fun.

If only that could be said about the items he dropped, which were nonexistent.

Well, that was certainly a bummer.

Let’s tie him up like a piece of ham and be done with it real quick.

Absolute fucking success.

Should I do this from the beginning?

I no longer feel like he’s a good opponent if something like that was enough to immobilize him.

Heavenly General Bikara  Lv.2

Heavenly General  Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Earth Attribute Wind Resistance

Hipping Rat Lv.6

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Wind Resistance Earth Resistance

OMG  look how many rats are here!

More than 10 of those insufferable rodents!

But these guys are relatively easy to kill, so that my salvation here.

Shishiko’s breath and Teromea’s fire are more than enough to mow them down before they can even get close to me.

From now on,  it’s a one-on-one battle between me and General Bikara.

Of course, I don’t need help from my Summoned Monsters.

I squeezed his neck with a  Prisoners Black Rope and finished it with Tokko.

 Yup.

This battle’s in the bag, baby!

Heavenly General Shotora  Lv.3

Heavenly General  Target Subjugation  Active

Battle Position: Ground  Light Attribute Dark Resistance

Fighting Bull Lv.7

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground

Hmm…

Will this be an easy battle?

Hopefully it won’t be too hard?

There are 3 Fighting Bulls.

Although I had Tigris, Senki and Shishiko in the  avant-garde, it was difficult to properly defend against their attacks.

It seems that Naias’s song was the most effective here.

It inspired the monsters to keep on fighting at their full strength, but it did nothing for my dwindling MP bar.

Let’s do it quickly then.

Shotora  pulled out the sword.

But I won’t let him use it!

I rushed behind him

And strangled him to death with the Prisoner’s Black Rope.

And that was the end of him.

Still.

There is no info about any of my monsters being ready for a Level Up.

There are no Drop Items as well.

Somehow, my mood is turning a lot more sour than it was in the beginning.

Positive.

Just try to be positive, okay Keith?

Being positive and calm, that is the key to not giving a fuck about a shitty item drop rate anymore.

Heavenly General Shintara Lv.3

Heavenly General Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground  Space-time Attribute  Light Resistance  Dark Resistance

Sturm Tiger Lv.8

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Wind Attribute

This Heavenly General is also extremely dangerous.

Because he’s empty-handed.

And his punches and grapples hurt.

A lot.

That’s why we have to finish him off as soon as possible if we want to avoid being subjected to one of his nasty moves.

But those 3 Tigers held back my enthusiasm.

Well, we’ll just have to dispatch them first, since they are nothing but damage sponges compared to the main dish!

The problem is my MP bar.

I’m really beginning to be worried about it, so I decided to use one of my precious Mana Potions and brought it back to 50%.

As expected, the time of gentle walks in the park is over.

Heavenly General Makora  Lv.1

Heavenly General  Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground Water Attribute Earth Resistance

Curly Rabbit Lv.7

Monster Target Subjugation Active

Battle Position: Ground

Ugh, why are those rabbits always in such humongous amounts? Do they just breed, like the ones in the real world?!

There is more than 10 of those to fight at once!

Well, no matter.

Shishiko opened the battle with its breath attack.

In the meantime, Teromea and Tigris began their pursuit of the others.

So much is going on around me that I really can’t afford to look around me properly.

All I really have time for is swinging my weapon around!

If I won’t be careful I won’t be able to win, but I can’t allow myself to be overly cautious either.

That being said, the battle would certainly be a lot easier if I could just seal the movements of one of the Boss’s arms with my Prisoners Black Rope.

Since it’s damage is not really all that outstanding, sealing the enemy movements is pretty much all it can do at the current moment.

Yeah, it was a good call on my end.

That strategy worked extremely well.

Now all I had to do was to stab it to death with Tokko.

《【Sword】Level Up！》

《【Lava Magic】Level Up！》

《【Physical Enhancement】Level Up！》

《【Magic Effect Expansion】Level Up！》

《【Magic Range Expansion】Level up！》

Hmm?

Holy Cow, so many skills Leveled up at once!

And here I was wondering if I will get any EXP points at all.

So dear game, I humbly beg you.

Would you graciously allow my Summoned Monsters to Level Up faster as well?

Well, on to the next one.

Yup, and if I remember correctly…

Dragon Puppy should be next, right?

Haira is a Heavenly General after all.

One of the more scary ones at that.

Like, legitimately scary.

So what am I going to do?

Give it my best shot of course!
