Chapter 126: Wilderness Undead Festival
Chapter 126: Wilderness Undead Festival
When I arrived at the store, the name of the store was written on it...haa...
I want to go hunting to change my mind, but before that I gave Yug-san the cypress I promised her and didn't sell the various bee stingers this time. They are the material for Setia's arrows.
Then Mew-san showed me the new robe I had been waiting for. It's a pure white robe. I appraise it.
Cloud Sheep Robe: Rarity 5 Weight 10 Durability 55 Defense +20
Additional Effect: Cold Resistance (Large), Freeze Resistance (Medium), Ice Magic Reduction (Medium)
A robe made from the wool of cloud sheep. It is extremely resistant to cold, but weak against heat.
Very popular for its fluffy texture.
She made a terrific robe. Mew-san was proud of it.
"How? How? How do you like it?"
"I can see why you would say that. It's a great performance. This"
"I know! By the way, I got orders from everyone, so I'm going to have to monopolize Loco Moco's wool and Aranea's thread for a while"
Well, I think it's the performance that Ruin-san and her friends want. No, all players? Will Loco Moco be okay? Aranea will have no problem with the thread.
"Alright"
"I did it! Now we can get our fluffy equipment!"
Ah~. That's the story behind Mew-san's name.
It's too good to just look at, so I try it on immediately. It takes some courage to wear a white robe.
When I equip it, Lily suddenly hugs me on my back.
"It's fluffy~. Takuto's back is so warm~"
Seeing this, Ion and Setia started to make a fuss.
"It's not fair! Lily! Please get out of the way quickly!"
"Ion-oneesama is right!"
The two of them made a fuss, but Koihi didn't make a fuss and moved into action.
Invade from under the robe.
""Ah!?""
"It's warm"
The other two saw this and tried to get in, but wait, wait. Don't usually go in there!
"It's so pleasant~"
Don't look, stop! Ruin-san!
We went to the Beastmasters Guild to check the synthetic summons for Route and Rex and both of them were bingo. There was no evolutionary destination, so I guess Hawk's evolutionary destination is still suspect.
After that, I headed out to hunt. The team consisted of Lily, Konoha, Gale, Yuuga and Darley. The hunt took place in the Deep Red Wilderness. It's dangerous, but we can't afford not to explore it.
I want to leave, but Lily insists on controlling Darley. Well, that's what's going to happen...but that's expected.
"Are you sure? Its different from everyone"
"Eh? ......N, Not good!"
There was a longer pause than usual, but eventually Lily hugged me back. Okay! That's what I calculated.
But there are some girls I don't agree with. It's Koihi and Setia.
"Takuto-sama? I thought we should share the pain"
"It's not fair that Takuto-oniichan is the only one who's......"
I don't want to share your suffering! It's fine to be unfair!
I was impressed by how relieved Darley was while we were doing this.
When we arrived in the wilderness, I immediately saw many monsters I hadn't seen before. I'll try to identify them.
Ghost Lv6
Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active
The figure is a doll and transparent. It's fluttering in the sky. In other words, it's a normal ghost. There were many of them in the sky. It's a normal horror story.
"Leave it to Lily! Yaa!"
Lily swung her large sword energetically, but it slipped through the ghosts. I'm sure physical attacks won't work...or maybe magic will?
"Why? It doesn't hit! No!"
It's because it's slipping through...as I'm making a comment, one of the ghosts is sucked into Lily's body. That is the possession skill!?
Lily's movements stopped. ...I have a really bad feeling about this.
Lily is running towards me with the Liebling large sword in her hand.
"Don't get too close to Lily! You'll get blown away!"
Gale and the others react to my warning.
Lily's after me. I send Darley running. Lily doesn't give up and chases after me, but there's no way she can beat Darley in speed. In case you were wondering, Konoha is also riding on Darley.
"Hoo..."
I'm squinting, but...I think he made the decision not to fly because there are ghosts in the sky.
However, I feel sorry for Lily if she has to chase after us all the time. But pointing magic at Lily...I wonder if this magic will work?
"Sleep!"
As Lily sleeps, the ghost comes out of her and Konoha shoots wind magic at it, but it slips through. I was surprised that Konoha was aiming for it, but I guess other magic doesn't work either!
The only magic that would work would be this one!
"Laser!"
It slips through...yeah, I had a feeling about that!
The only magic that will work on these guys is probably sacred magic, but I'll have to check just in case.
The result was that ordinary magic had no effect, but only the magic bullet of staff martial arts had an effect.
I hadn't used it at all, so it was completely unexpected, but if it works, I'll just use it.
Now that I have a path to victory, I'm going to try some things I've been wondering about.
First, I returned the sleeping Lily to her summon stone. Then she came back. I guess I can return her to her summon stone even if she's in an abnormal state. The curse was an exception, but...what happens in the case of possession?
I'm testing it with the possessed Gale and the others. When I returned Gale and the others to their summon stones, the ghosts' possession was lifted and they remained there.
I see. So it's possible to remove the possession by returning them to the summon stone.
From the results of the experiment, it turned out that there was no need to put Lily to sleep. Sorry, Lily.
After that, I repeatedly used Darley to gain distance, stopped, and then fired my Magic Bullet repeatedly to destroy the ghosts. If it weren't for Darley, we might have lost.
And when I re-summoned Lily and the others, Lily was sleeping comfortably. Doesn't sleep cancel when you put it back into the summon stone?
Lily is woken up by Konoha.
"Uwa~. Oh, good morning. Takuto"
I couldn't help but laugh at Lily's fluent state, but when I explained the situation anyway, Lily's frustration made me smile.
Afterwards, while we were eating for a change, Yuuga turned towards the sky and sensed something. What is it?
I looked at the sky and saw a ball of light floating in the air. Is it a monster? I identify it.
Spirit Lv7
Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active
Spirit also means spiritual, but I wonder if ghosts are ghosts and spirit is a soul or a soul of language.
Spirit increases light.
Oh no! I felt like feeding because I was eating, but its active state means it's an enemy!
"Everyone! Evade!"
"......Mugu?"
Konoha and the others, I say, fall apart, but Lily, who is crazy about eating meat, is late. As a result, lightning hits Lily directly.
"O...Ouch...ah!? Lily's meat!?"
The meat she was eating was charred by the lightning. Lily...is that the first thing you care about?
But Lily seems to be really angry.
"Uh...I'll never forgive you!"
Lily attacks angrily, but she's slipping through again. Lily, you're losing...
"Why cant I hit it~~!"
Lily's sad scream echoed in the wilderness. But I couldn't keep quiet, so I finished it off with my Magic Bullet.
I gave the depressed Lily some meat to put her in a good mood, and changed her with Ion.
As I continued my search, all I saw were skeletons: a skeleton wolf, a skeleton tiger and a skeleton hawk. These were tame monsters. The only summon monster was a skeleton.
The strength of all of them was weak to say the least. I got the impression that Skeleton Wolf, Skeleton Tiger, Skeleton Hawk and Skeletons were less coordinated than normal monsters. It's disappointing, because coordination is the main selling point of these monsters, but what's annoying is the number! There are so many of them! And like zombies, they come back to life. I used magic bullets, light magic, and seal magic, but it didn't work, so I retreated.
Before that, I tried a new magic.
"Water Prison!"
The group of bone monsters are trapped inside a sphere of water together. Although they don't seem to be in pain because they're bones, they can't swim, so there's nothing they can do about it.
Then, the swimming Ion enters the sphere and slashes them. I see, it can be used like this. I feel like I've learned something good.
But just when I'm getting fed up with all the bone monster fights, Yuuga warns me on the ground. Not good! Meerkats!
As we leave, a monster appears from the ground where we were.
Canivorous Worm Lv10
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
It's an earthworm. It's about four meters long. Maybe even bigger. They appear from the ground one after another. Next to the Undead Festival, there's the Earthworm Festival...
I'm sure Ion and the others will have a hard time digesting this. Let's take care of them, shall we?
The carnivorous worms seem to have mouths. I don't know what to do, but I'm going to have to do it. Gale and the others concentrated their attacks on one of them. Ion dodged the other worms with ease, slashing them with counters.
I support Gale and the others with area heal since they're taking damage. I successfully wiped out all the carnivorous worms and leveled up.
I dismantled them and to my surprise, all of the carnivorous worms dropped iron ore. I wonder if this is the first monster to target in the wilderness?
I finally had a decent battle, but my time is up. Next time I come to the Deep Red Wilderness, I'll have to learn some sacred magic.
