129 # 124 Evolution of love fire and growth of Lily.txt (1/2)

The evolved love fire is now the same height as Lily and the others, and her hair has grown a little longer. Her clothes are the same as Lily and the others, although she seems to have become a little more luxurious, but she's still in her mini-skirt miko outfit.

So far it's the same as Lily and her friends, but love fire is different. Her fuzzy tail had increased to two. When I was wondering what was going on, Koibito fearfully asked me.

''Heh... isn't that strange...?''

I think he got worried because he was just looking at me.

”You're not acting weird. You're getting pretty. Love fire.

E...ehehe...thank you. Takhto brother.

The two tails are swinging slowly. I can't help but look at the tail because the number of tails has increased.

Now, what happened to the evolved love fire?

Name Love Fire Cerian Beast Lv 20

Life force 40 to 50.

Magic power 34 to 44.

Strength 36 to 50.

Defensive value 22 to 30.

Agility 42 to 52

Dexterity value 27 to 42

skill

Swords Lv 7, two swords Lv 1, fire magic Lv 3, foxfire Lv 3 -> Lv 5, presence detection Lv 7 -> Lv 8, danger detection Lv 1

Sorcery Lv 1 Blood Lv 1

Isn't he so strong? Is it because they're a subspecies?

First of all, we get the same two-fisted approach as Ion. It's bad at this point. Love Fire's muscle strength is 50. In terms of weight, that means I can equip two weapons of 25. He also has speed, so Ion is in big trouble.

And Gray is in trouble too because he learned to sense danger, but Gray is stronger now. The problem is Yuu Fang... I'm sure he'll change a lot once he evolves, but I won't say anything.

And the original Blood Awakening. It's probably the same as Lily and the others. We don't have much time before the event starts, so I'll be using it against the torrents I'm about to defeat.

While I'm looking for a tree, Setia finds a cypress tree.

I take out my axe. Now, let's go for it....

As I'm beating on the cypress, Koibito senses something.

'There's something on the tree!

What's that?

I looked up the tree and sure enough there was something. A little green man?

Oh, it's a tree spirit!

Tree spirit? Ah! I've seen this one in a famous animated movie. They're probably about the same size, though they look totally different... they were white haniwa-like characters, but over here they look like a green boy. Is that it? Identification.

Wood Spirit Lv 3

Summoned Monster Target Active

Well, this is not good!　Mr. Takt.

Hmm? Tasteless what?

As I was thinking this, the wood spirit took out the grass and blew the grass whistle. And then it was gone.

Yeah. I have a bad feeling about this.

'Tree spirits are tree fairies. They live in trees, and if a tree is knocked down, of course they get angry and call in the monsters of the forest.

Loud footsteps could be heard... oh... it was a wood golem... but it wasn't. What emerges from the trees is a vaguely glowing one-eyed giant covered in grass all over. Identification.

Troll Lv 15

? Target Target Active

Oh. Yup. I saw you at the library. I knew it. I didn't expect this one to be... same size as the guy with the club, or twice as big. Quadruple in size is a bad idea.

And then there are four Trent's to go along for the ride.

But then I saw Skull-Orthros. In a pinch, but not as bad as that guy. That guy could only do so much damage if I countered him in numbers.

However, it would be tough to just use the Blood Awakening of Love Fire alone. Therefore, it would be good to vent the resentment of that time here. Besides, I want to know how much stronger we've become than when we fought the Wood Golem.

'Summon the Legion!

A total of 23 of my summoned beasts are summoned. It's spectacular when you look at it this way.

''Wha!　Big... people?

Don't think it's a person. Lilly.

'There's also Trent...Mr. Tact?

'We're outnumbered, that's why I called you all in. Besides, it's a better opponent to see how much we've grown than when we fought the Wood Golem, right?

'I see. That's certainly a good match.

When Ion is convinced, Lily makes a rare request.

'Tact!　I want to fight that big guy!　No?

Lily asks me for an iron greatsword in her hand. If she says that, I can't not allow her to do so. I was going to ask Love Fire to be my opponent, but it would be a good opponent for a test cut.

''Alright. I'll leave the trolls to Lily.

'Yes!　I'll take care of it, Tact!

You guys take care of Trent.

”Yes!

I tell them the formation and they all head to their respective prey. Meanwhile, Gray catches my gaze and comes close.

'If Lily's in danger, you can help her.

Gow.

Setia hears this and gives me an earful.

''Huh, you're overprotective, aren't you?　Mr. Takt.

I'm aware of that. I'm aware of that. But I'm worried about you, so I don't blame you. I think it's the summoner's way of trusting everyone's strength and letting them handle it. But I guess I feel like I need to be prepared... maybe I need to change a little bit too.

As I was thinking about that, everyone's fight had begun.

Trent and the others are in a terrible state.

First it was Sabik, Root, Puyosuke, Locomoco, Airy, Liquor, and Darley.

Root tightens up and blocks Trent's movements. Puyosuke is attached to Sabiku and Sabiku, and he's now attached to Trent. Trent is stuck in this situation. He tries to attack Root, but Airy is recovering.

Lokomoko is desperately trying to hit the body, too, but it's just soothing. Meanwhile, Ricule and Darley are getting hit with a horse kick that can't be softened. That one hurts, doesn't it?

Well, I don't think they're going to win with Trent when he's attached to Puyosuke. In the end, a blow of liqueur and airy horns from back and forth pierced Trent and knocked him down.

The beasts, led by Trent, look like they're having fun. Aranea restrains Trent with a hard thread. It looks like damage is being done when Trent tries to force it to move. This is a new discovery. I didn't know they could do this.

And Toratetsu and his friends are biting and hanging on to Trent. I guess they are desperate, but they look like they are playing with him. Kurotetsu joins in the attack and chokes, and Trent is defeated.

And then the fight between Koibito and Trent.

'Blood Awakening!'

Love Fire has taken on a white and silver aura, and his tail has grown to three! There are still more!

Now, what is the status.

Name Love Fire Cerian Beast (Blood Awakening) Lv 20

Life force 50 to 60.

Magic power 44 to 64.

Strength 50 to 60.

Defense 30 to 40.

Agility 52 to 62

Dexterous value 42 to 52.

skill

Swords Lv 7, two swords Lv 1, flame magic Lv 3, foxfire Lv 5 -> evil flame Lv 5, presence detection Lv 8, danger detection Lv 1

Bewitchment Lv 1 Shinto magic Lv 1 Qigong art Lv 1

It's still strong. And your magic power has increased abnormally. No, it's more than that, the foxfire has changed to evil flames and the Shinto magic and qigong arts have increased.

The evil flame is the top skill of the foxfire, so it won't change.

Shinto witchcraft is probably a Japanese Shinto witchcraft, but it's a mystery what kind of witchcraft it is.

Qigongjutsu is the famous qi thing... depending on whether it comes in real life qi or anime qi, it'll be rated differently. That's just my opinion.

Love Fire pulls out a glass sword. And Love Fire floats in the sky.

Eh? I don't have any flight skills, but... most likely, qigongjutsu? Floating in the air is more of an image than in the anime, but I still don't get it, since some people say they can float in the sky with their ki in real life.

Then Koihi holds the glass sword to the side and touches it with his left hand.

''I purge and purify all sins (tsumikegare).

When you say that, the sword glows brightly. Is this the holy light Nebilos was talking about? Speaking of purifying the dirt in Shinto, is it Misogi? I think that was to exorcise his own defilement, but in the game, is it the power to grant holy light to weapons?

I'm coming!

Love Fire floats through the air, trying to approach Trent. But the speed was at walking level... Love Fire descends quietly.

''Yes, I'm going!''

Oh, I pretend it didn't happen. But my face is red.

Apparently, levitation has no relationship with agility value. If there is a relationship, is it the skill level?

While he was thinking about this, Love Fire's signature move evolved.

''Evil Flame, one flash!''

Trent was cut in half and black red lotus flames ignited from the slash, burning Trent to death.

Huh? A blow? Isn't this a problem?

No, maybe it's not exactly a blow. It's like being slashed and dying and then being killed by the damage of the flames... Either way, it's just ghastly, that's for sure.

And then Love Fire comes back and collapses when the blood awakening is released.

''Ugh...ugh...''

I panic at the love fire that squats in pain.

''Love fire!''

''It's...okay...it's just a bit of a...recoil from my skills...''

Love Fire is so good, I panicked, and when I looked at the status, it's definitely taking damage.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. And when you deactivate it, all statuses fall.

It's a skill that seems to embody cutting flesh and cutting off bones.

I'd like to prioritize healing Love Fire, but I have some things to do first.

”Bottomless Swamp!

Sinking Trent into a bottomless pit.

The motionless Trent is a target from afar. Setia and Fuchsia, take care of the fire magic. Ion, try throwing projectiles. It's a great way to improve your skills. Konoha is ice magic and Hiyori is wind magic. I'll heal Konoha and then don't go in with ice magic.

”Yes!

Aeon and the others recover the love fire while they beat up Trent. And you're preaching.

'Love fire, did you know that was a dangerous skill?'

Love Fire nodded.

'Why didn't you tell me?　Do you think I'd be happy with such a dangerous skill, Koi Fire, using it?

No. But I wanted to do something for my brother, too.

Huh. You can't say you can't use it if you're gonna say that.

''All right. Then I'll give you strict rules when you use this skill.

Strictly speaking, sir...?

''Ah. If you feel that Love Fire must rely on this skill, use it. If you can't keep this, then I'll have to think of something appropriate to do.

'Well, let's see. What will it be...?

I'm gonna have to ask that... or I'm gonna have to be pretty tough on you now that you've asked.

Well, I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on things for a month, huh?

Well, we'll protect you!　I will protect you for sure!

Love Fire hurries up and promises. That's it. Well, I'll join in the battle.

”Oh, I'll be able to fight too!

Love Fire didn't tell me about the skills, so I'll just sit there.

Yes, yes...

I observe Lily while using ice magic. Then, to my surprise, I see a sight.

'Yah!　Heavy Slash!

Lily was dominating the troll. When she punched me, I dodged it, got in her pocket and put a heavy slash into her stomach. It's respectable that you don't get blown up by Lily's attacks, even though she's a bit of an assault. But I'm going to stonewall.

Normally, Lily would attack there, but today, she doesn't move and stays with her sword at the ready, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

''...Is that really Lily?''

I can't believe it...

Is that the result of your training?

Sure, I was showing Lily how to fight like this. But if I taught or showed it to her and Lily would immediately demonstrate it, there would be no difficulty. If there's one thing that's changed, it's the battle with Skull Ortros.

Just as I felt I needed to grow up, Lily probably felt that way too, and that's why she's doing the battle now. When I think about it, my love sword was broken in defeat in the pseudo-dragonization state. The magnitude of the shock may have been more than I thought.

I didn't realize that... I have a lot of things I need to fix as a summoner.

'Grey, join the battle over here. I don't think Lily will lose to that guy today.

Gow.

Grey entered our battle and won the battle. And Lily successfully defeated the troll all by herself.

'We won!　Takt!

Yeah, you're getting stronger. Lilly.

Yeah, heh.

He pats Lily on the head and praises her, and she laughs with a big smile. Then Aeon and the others protest.

'We're stronger now too, aren't we?　Mr. Takut.

I don't agree with your sister's praise, Lily.

It's not fair, just Lilly.

Yeah, you're all stronger now, too. I praise them all as I stroke them all.

After that, when I dismantled it, Trent didn't drop anything, and what a woody stone I got from the troll. It was the wooden magic stone that summoned Setia, wasn't it? I no longer feel nostalgic.

I then finished cutting down a cypress tree that had stopped on the way, and returned to the shop in return.
