The Summoner is Going Chapter 215 Part 3

Translation: Charlotte
Editor: Weasalopes

The most pressing problem with night hunting was the Mud Golems.
I only encountered one of them.
But with Senki in the front, and after a few shots of 【Seal Weapon Arte】, we could easily overwhelm it.
No problem.
Senki did take a lot of damage in the fight, but he had the ability to recover his HP bar, so it wasn’t a big deal.

『O-chan levelled up!』

『Really? What are you going to do about the Class Change?』

『At first I was going to go for a Grey Wolf, but now I have something else in mind!』

Moments later, the wolf in front of me transformed into a Black Wolf.
I see… That’s nice.
There already was the other Black Wolf Kuro-chan that Adele had.
She was definitely going for the Fusion Summon Monster.
I was definitely curious as to what it would look like.
There was much to look forward to for Adele.
Yeah.
Let’s keep doing our best. Maybe get into high gear?
Well, I’m sorry for dragging you guys into this…

But…
I tried calling a nearby herd of Ghost Horses to us.
But you know? I didn’t actually think it was that crazy of an idea?

~o~O~o~

《【Heat Resistance】 Level Up!》
《Summon Monster 『Helix』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Right before nightfall, I finally managed to get a level-up too.
Well, more precisely, Helix levelled up.
Thinking about all the hard work he had done in the past few days, a level-up was in good order.

Oops, my thoughts were starting to go places.
The stat that went up with the level-up was STR.
I put another point into DEX.

Helix　Fighting Falcon Lv5→Lv6 (↑1)
DEX　14 (↑1)
AGI　28
INT　23
STR　14 (↑1)
VIT　14
SPI　15

Skills:
Peck　Flight　Far Sight　Wide Area Search　Ambush　Sense Danger　Air Mobility　Wind Attribute

But the info screens continued.
Everything was going according to plan.

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

Couturier’s growth has been steady, as expected.
Her AGI stat was already very high to begin with, but I had a feeling it was just going to keep getting higher.
But anyway…
The stat that went up with the level-up was AGI.
Another point into the AGI stat!?
Huh… Well, I put the other point into STR.

Couturier　Giant Bee Lv4→Lv5 (↑1)
DEX　17
AGI　29 (↑1)
INT　12
INT　6 (↑1)
VIT　8
SPI　8

Skills:
Sting　Bite　Flight　Evade　Ambush　Poison

The time was about 6 PM.
It was a good time to start retreating to the Area Portal.

『We got quite a few nice items today.』

『More than enough!』

「Yeah, that’s definitely going to last us for a while.」

『But you were first planning on training your Summon Monsters up to a Class Change, right?』

「I guess so.」

There was complete agreement among us.
I was very much intending on changing my Summon Monster team and then challenging the N1W3 map in a night hunt.

~o~O~o~

When we returned to the Area Portal, it was quiet, except for one corner where a few Summoners were having an interesting Battle Mode match.
Well, that was a nice way to pass the time too

「Hey, you two, are you sure you’re going to be alright time-wise?」

「I want to do some night hunting myself, actually.」

「Well then, I guess we can hang out together for a little longer?」

「Thanks!」

「Ah, yes please.」

Yeah.
I was very glad we were of a like mind.

I wanted them to level up quickly and become able to fuse their Summon Monsters too.
It would definitely be impossible for me to find all the Fusion Summon Monsters out there.
No, it probably wasn’t impossible, but there was no doubt in my mind that it would take a tremendous amount of time.
I would love their cooperation on the matter.

I wonder if the hunting will be any harder?

~o~O~o~

As soon as we finished eating our dinner, we immediately got going.
Our teams were already set for our night-time combat teams.
What did my team look like?
First, I recalled Helix and Couturier.
I decided to summon a new Summon Monster too, while I was at it.
He looked a little like this:

Abyss　Skeleton Lv1 (New!)
DEX　14
AGI　15
INT　10
STR　10
VIT　9
SPI　10

Skills:
[ ]　[ ]　Block　Physical Resistance [Slight]　Self-Repair [Medium]　Dark Attribute

Oops, my thoughts were starting to go places.
Oh, I completely forgot about the empty skill slots.
I already knew what to put in one of them.
The Buckler skill would be very important.
I could probably equip him with the leftover Crab Equipment too.
But the problem was with the other slot.
Oh well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to go with something standard.

Abyss　Skeleton Lv1 (New!)
DEX　14
AGI　15
INT　10
STR　10
VIT　9
SPI　10

Skills:
Sword　Buckler　Block　Physical Resistance [Slight]　Self-Repair [Medium]　Dark Attribute

Nice.
What about his equipment?
I handed over the Steel Sword that Goki owned.
Goki still had the Hammer of Roars and the Snow Beast Buckler, after all.
Yeah, those weapons would be plenty!

The last Summon Monster I summoned was Telomere.
Nice.
It was a good team to fight with.

What about Adele?
She went for an Owl, a Beast Ape, a Lion, and a Golden Fox.
And Irina?
Irina went for a Bat, a Wood Golem, a Giant Tortoise, and a Mist.
Yep.
We didn’t have a single duplicate Summon Monster in our whole Union.
How strange…

Well, our team were subject to change too, depending on what monsters were waiting for us.
Well then.
Wasting no more time, we got going to hunt.

~o~O~o~

So, what was awaiting us in the night on the N1W3 map?
I checked out our surroundings using 【Call Monster】.
There were Fire Birds.
There were also a few herds of Ghost Horses.
Nothing too out of the ordinary…

But that didn’t last for long.

Five-eyed Ape　Lv.2
Phantom　Enemy Target　Active
Battle Position: Ground　Light Resistance　Dark Resistance

There were some strange monsters too.
It was like a repeat of the scene at the Area Portal all over again.
But that time, it was just a swarm of 10 Five-eyed Apes.
Well, it was the first time fighting them on our own, so I was still glad that I used strengthening spells beforehand, just in case.

~o~O~o~

Five-eyed Apes…
They kind of felt like a weaker version of Senki.
But Adele’s Beast Ape E-chan was clearly having trouble fighting them one-on-one, even with strengthening spells.

「True Practiced Spirit!」

Of course, I dove into the front to help in the fight.
I used all the strengthening spells I had.
I would probably need them all if I was going to wrestle with them.
Although, getting that opportunity was a pretty big “if” for me.

Conclusion.
Only a little bit weaker than a strong Mezu?
No, I was definitely getting stronger and stronger myself, so that was probably a matter of perspective.
Objectively speaking, in groups, they were probably as strong as a Gozu General or Mezu General.
Well, no matter how strong they were, we had three Summoners and 13 Summon Monsters on our side.
Telomere was there too.
We already knew we would do just fine.

After we took care of the first swarm, the hunt continued with a focus on Fire Birds and Five-eyed Apes.
The Five-eyed Apes were phantoms, so it was tougher to find them using 【Call Monster】.
But there were a lot of them, so we still encountered them fairly frequently anyway.

「You guys doing alright?」

『We’re doing well, somehow…』

『As long as we focus on interception, we’re good.』

「Nice. Well then, let’s keep going.」

~o~O~o~

They seemed to be doing okay.
We recovered a bit of the damage we took and continued on our hunt.
Yeah.
We were definitely doing okay.
Although, the Ghost Horses were very fast, so it would be tough to deal with them.
We decided to leave fighting them for another time.

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

Senki levelled up.
Yep, Senki had done a lot of work that day, so I was already expecting a level-up.

The stat that went up with the level-up was AGI.
I put another point into DEX.

Senki　Wrestler Ogre Lv5→Lv6 (↑1)
DEX　13 (↑1)
AGI　22 (↑1)
INT　6
STR　30
VIT　30
SPI　6

Skills:
Punch　Kick　Throw Object　Block　Evade　Climb　Throw　Self Regeneration [Slight]

Yep, Senki really was completely made for the role of fighting in the front.
But I didn’t have the time to stare at Senki’s stats.
More info screens were already appearing to grab my attention.

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

Yeah.
Even compared to what I’d been through, it was a very fast level-up!

The stat that went up with the level-up was DEX.
I put another point into VIT.

Abyss　Skeleton Lv1→Lv2 (↑1)
DEX　15 (↑1)
AGI　15
INT　10
STR　10
VIT　10 (↑1)
SPI　10

Skills:
Sword　Buckler　Block　Physical Resistance [Slight]　Self-Repair [Medium]　Dark Attribute

Oh! A beautiful line of numbers so early!
But it would be a good opportunity to swap out my Summon Monsters.
I replaced Senki with Jericho.
I replaced Abyss with Gokame.

Well then.
With that, we could probably use take on a herd of Ghost Horses.
The Ghost Horses had a very annoying ability to create illusions.
It wasn’t like the illusions were capable of attacking us, but it definitely made finding the real ones very confusing.
Against them, wouldn’t a strategy revolving around defence and intercepting attacks be very effective?
Well, at least that was how my train of thought was going.
I did have quite a few very solid Summon Monsters.
It was something I wanted to try..
