207 # 196 Exploring the Yellow Ossa Mountains.txt (1/2)

I finish my dinner, take a bath and calm down. It's okay. We're able to identify them. We should be able to summon the dolphin.

It's the Yellow Ossa Mountains at night. We'll have to be vigilant about the Izzy mines or worse.

I'm gonna clear my head and log in. I go downstairs and see a bunch of players.

Uh... this...

Warp, please!

Right!

'Did you bother to wait for me?

I'll wait as long as it's safe to travel.

Mel tells me. Well, I might do the same.

'So did that get you to the Izi mine?'

I went down there, but the giants attacked me and I had to run back.

”Phi The Giant?

Everyone pulls back. Well, it's scary.

”....what did you find out about the mining?

Mirai asks me.

'You almost got iron ore. It's rare and there's magic ore. Also, you had to have an intermediate pickerel to mine it, so you'd better buy it before you go.

Everyone went to the Adventurer's Guild first.

After that, I got the money that Ruin-san decided to give me from everyone and carried it through the warp gate. I feel like I can do business with this alone. And of course, my spacetime magic will level up. If this goes on for a long time, the level of spacetime magic will skyrocket.

''Well... it's been a while.

'Oh!　Takuma. How is Hanabi-chan?

I'm in too much trouble. Take me to the fireworks without telling anyone. I'll probably be in a bad mood when I find out that Mr. Takuto has taken me there.

I hate her. Well, she's got her pride and all that.

I get it. Keep up the good work for Hanabi-chan's weapon.

Oh!

When we finish sending everyone off, I fly to King Kong's fort. If I stay in Freetia, I'm going to be opening warp gates all the time, and all we're looking for is adventure.

We leave King Kong's Fort and head for the Yellow Ossa Mountains. The members of the group are headed there with Wafu, Grey, Toratetsu, Darley and Foxxo.

Wa Fox leads us to the Yellow Ossa Mountains. I set up a warp point as soon as possible. This is the third one. Well, I guess we don't need King Kong's fort.

It's good. We start exploring.

First up is Gray's mate.

Red Wolf, Lv 12.

Common Monsters to be killed Active

A blink-and-you're weak. Am I being too cautious? First item when dismantled.

Firewolf's Fur: Rare Level 2 Material Item Quality E

The fur has a bright red coarse texture. When used for protective gear, it can be cold-resistant in rare cases.

Fire Wolf Fangs: Rare Level 2 Material Item Quality E

The fangs are bright red in color. Very rarely, when used in weapons, they can have a fire attribute.

It's nice to see an item for the first time.

The first monster is weak, but the further back you go, the weaker it gets.

If you're not careful, you'll get hurt. I'll try to feel like I'm in the cave of Skull Ortros.

Next, we found the first monster we've seen.

Earthman Lv 10.

Tame Monster Target Active

It's a small mud golem-like enemy. The difference between it and the golem is its eyes. They aren't human eyes, though, they're pitch black.

It seems to be resistant to physical attacks and fire magic because of the mud.

”Atmosphere!

Blow it up and take a hit. Maybe this guy is a fierce beast-using golem frame. Disassembled, he's a rock. It's mud...you.

As I go on and on, the Japanese fox screams. The one that appears is Lily and the others' natural enemy.

Red Slime, Lv 12.

Summoned Monster Target Active

It's awful... there's slime all over the corridor. And this guy, I'm pretty sure he's going to burn it.

”Splash!

Clean up with a splash. When you take it apart, it's stone again. I won't say anything.

And once you get through the Red Slime Hell, the temperature rises and the first monsters and monsters you see finally get stronger.

Fire Lizard Lv 18.

Normal Monster Target Active

A red lizard about the size of a gray wolf. They used firebreath, but Gray and the others attacked and killed it after defending it with a water wall.

When dismantled, it's naturally a new material.

Fire Lizard Skin: Rare Level 4 Material Item Quality D-.

The skin is bright red with a fine scaly pattern. When used in armor, it may add heat and fire attribute boosts.

The further you go, the more troublesome it will be.

Firecracker Stone Lv 15.

Normal Monster Target Active

Mine Stone Lv 15

Normal Monster Target Active

These guys were no different than ordinary stones. You probably wouldn't be able to detect them with any indication.

If stepped on unknowingly, the firecracker stone would spark and cause burns. The mine stone would explode and blow away.

It doesn't move on its own, it just explodes by applying magic, so it's easy to treat. Let's dismantle it.

Flintstones: rare degree 2 Material Item Quality E

A stone that produces sparks when they collide.

Explosive stone: rarity level 2 Material Item Quality E

Despite the name, the stone is vulnerable to impact.

Apparently, I'm supposed to make a bomb. When we exit the bomb zone, we go outside.

Then, all of them are alerted at once.

”Tact-han...

'Oh...'

I'm going to reposition the warp point here. It looks like we've got a really strong enemy. They do it with zero intention of hiding it. The members changed the fox cubes and chose Setia.

”Setia, please summon the spirit. Japanese fox, take care of Setia. It's going to be a real battle.

I understand. Wufu-san, please.

Yes!

I have a staff and a sword. I would use magic if I could, but the question is whether the enemy will allow me to do so.

We move forward and catch the enemy visually as we move forward. The enemy on the mountainside was a wolf about the same size as Grey, but with bright red fur and fire all over his body.

Garum?

?　?　?

It's a wolf, known as a guard dog in Norse mythology. They're sometimes considered dogs, but in this game, they're wolves.

That's three of them. That was the moment I thought that was it. Just when I thought the mountainside was glowing red, something pierced me and I fell off the Darley.

It was a burning stone that pierced me. It was like a bullet. This isn't good!

Hide behind a rock!

That was the moment we all tried to hide in the rocky area at my command. The moment I saw the mountainside, one by one, the mountainside glowed red!

One after another, flaming stones fly in.

All of them are barely safe, but Setia's spirit summoning is released and Garum comes in.

''Grey, Toratetsu!''

Two of them are going at it, one at a time, but there aren't enough of them. I'm afraid we're in a bit of a situation here.

”Summon the Legion!

Legion summons Ix, Noah, Livina, Bran, Chess, Gale, Byakuya, Yuu Fang, Rikyuu, Puyosuke, Airy, Root, Luna, Iyuki, and Mir. I also re-summoned Foxxo. Puyosuke would be tired, but he summoned them for escort and trump card.

'You wanted to see me?　Master.

'Oh. Gale, Byakuya, Yu Fang!　The three of you manage to block Garm's movements. Liqueur, please stop.

Maybe it would have to be three of them.

”Ix, there's something on the mountainside. Tell me how many there are.

Yes, Master. We have a visual on the mountainside. I'm tracking 50 enemies on the mountainside, sir. There are eight huge ones.

'I've seen it with a hawk's eye. It's a bright red fiery plant.

I probably know that flower. The Japanese fox will tell you.

”That's probably a gunshot flower on the mountainside.

Ask the Japanese fox to write on the ground and tell you. The kanji for Higanbana is wrong! What's with the fireworks? Don't change it to a scary name! The Legion summoning has added quite a bit of garm, but it can't be helped.

Anyway, we need to do something about the firebombers!

Waxx, if you have a warding, you can stop that attack from happening, right?

It's possible.

'Okay, let's get Airy to work on the warding. Airy, climb up the mountainside and do something about the fireworks.

Airy is the only one who can climb the mountain. Then Mir calls out.

'I can go too!　If you're moving earth, it's easy to get close!

Yeah, okay, sure.

Then Iyuki shows that he can do it too. I'm worried, but I'll believe it here.

'What do I do?'

'Livina, cover me with dark magic and magic bullets. Chess, Puyosu, Kitsune, and Root are the guards. When it's time to attack, I'll give you the signal.

Yes, sir!

Chess and the others nodded.

'Nowa, shadow me for support. Ix, me, Darley, and Nowa will create an opening for Garum, and you will stop him. No additions, no subtractions. Make sure you get it done.

Hmm.

Yes, Master. I will do everything in my power to eliminate the enemy.

'Bran is your first strike. They're a strong opponent, so only attack them if you know you can hit them with certainty.

I understand. Now I will take over as Lady Setia's bodyguard and healer.

I didn't expect this...Bran is a solid one. He understands his role and what's going on around him.

Please. Luna, buff it up. We'll go in as soon as Airy gets out of the way. Meir, set it up as soon as the sparks come to your attention.

Yes!

Luna dances and the buffs activate on all of them.

The Japanese fox wards Airy and Airy climbs the mountainside. Fireball Flower goes for Airy, but the warding plays him. Airy continues to run into the Fire Gun Flower. Okay, Fire Gun Flower's aim has completely changed!

At that moment, Mir appears from the ground and Iyuki sets up for a firearm flower from the sky. Mir appears from the ground and cleaves it with a vine, but the effect is not good. Then the attacked firearm goes for Mir.

'Wah!'

Just as Meir is about to be shot, a wind-snow blows from the sky, and the fire gun flower's attack is unsuccessful. The wind-snowing Isetsu turns his hand into an ice blade and slashes through the fire gun flowers.

''Saved. Izuki-chan. I don't look like I can be of any use, so I'm going to head to Garum, right?　We have to be of service to Master Takht!

Iyuki nodded and Meir headed for Garum in a dirt move. Airy arrived, and with Isetsu, the firearm hunt began.

We jumped out at the same time as Airy, and Gray and the others were on fire. They were desperately fighting Garum while getting burned by the state's abnormalities.

We wanted to help them recover, but that was not an option. The four Garms came spitting flames and two of them rushed in. These guys are completely dividing up the roles.

However, Livina and foxglove cover us, and the two garms pull back, but they come again.

This is not good, but our trump card is activated.

”Summon a spirit!

Setia summons a small spirit of water. It is a small spirit whose body and clothes are made of water. The clothes are like traditional clothing.

''Please defeat Garum!

When Setia says that, the little water spirit receives an unexpected answer.

''E...uh...I...I'm not good at fighting.''

Dare I say it. Then why did you come out! This girl!

And do something about it, please!

Okay, okay!

A small water spirit danced in the sky.

''Aquaring!''

A ring of water was drawn in the sky, and then particles of blue light poured out of it. Then the burns of the burning greys were healed and their life force was fully restored.

I take back my previous statement! Little water spirits, great! More to follow. A huge magic circle is drawn in the sky above.

”Deep Sea World!

The color of the mountains, the clouds and the sun change to blue. What is it? This magic.

The four Garmes suck in their breath. Flame again! I evaded, but the flames were not spat out. This couldn't be...when I looked closer, I saw that the burning garmes' fire had gone out.

This magic, a magic that makes fire unusable! Then this is your chance!

As soon as I raise my wand, I signal the chesses to attack. The two gurms closest to me hurriedly aim at me. But I also have guards.

”...We won't let ni get in the way.

The two Garms stop moving. It's Noah's shadowbinding. It's my trusty escort.

”Splash!

The water bullets, which are twice as large as usual, attacked Garum and his friends. This is the effect of the Deep Sea World...it's like a magic that renders fire useless and makes water stronger.

Two of them are dead from the current attack, but four more are attacking.

First, Chess and Root challenge Garum to a fight. Chess challenges Garum head-on and gets bitten by Garum, but Root wraps himself around Garum's body and tightens it up. Chess and Foxxo also bite there.

One Garm jumps on me and tries to bite me. I can't jump. Ix, who generates a huge blade of magical power, cuts off both of the garmes.

But the other two animals duck Ix's attack and head towards me and Setia and the others. Then Garum's fangs close in on me again, but I have my staff at the ready. It's my trump card, eat it!

Shifting gears!

Me and Puyosuke switch positions. As a result, Garum dives into Puyosuke. Huh, that was close.

If Garum is rampaging but can't use fire, Puyosuke's victory is unassailable. Creatures that don't have magical properties are no match for slime.

Puyosuke seemed to have a good guard, and I moved to Setia and the others, so I fell into the pit, although I was again coupled with Garum.

'Are you okay?'

Oh. Livina, help these chesses out.

Okay.

I'm sure it's okay, but let's be careful.

”Noah, shadowbind.

Hmm.

”Bran, now that you're here, why don't we take the shot?

'Yes. Thank you for the Lord's concern.

Garum's movements are blocked as he falls into the pit.

'Tengawa!'

A circle of angels closes in on the motionless Garum and slashes at him, but he's still level 1, so of course I can't defeat him. Noah's shadow bindings are released, and he climbs up the pit and leaps at me. That feeling of fighting to the end is right and strong.

But when Mir binds Garum with a vine, he swings around and hits the rock face. Then Noah stabs Garum with a sword mountain of shadow, and me and Luna's magic stops him.

'Order accomplished. Master.

'Oh. Looks like everyone else is done too.

I looked around and saw Gray and Garm engaging with each other, but Garm was out of power. It looks like Garum didn't stand a chance with the fire shut down.

Toratetsu also had a tail taiji piercing Garum's mouth.

Gale, Byakuya, and Yuu Fang seemed to struggle, but a liqueur horn pierced Garum's stomach from the side, Gale biting him in the back, Byakuya in the neck, and Yuu Fang in the front leg.

The chesses seem to have struggled as well, but as the chesses are biting, Livina extends her black claws through the gap and pierces Garum's face. That's a dark claw... scary.

Garum dives at Puyosuke and runs out of power as Darley kicks him. Then the colors around him return to normal.

''Ah... um... was it helpful?''

You've been very helpful. Thank you, man. For getting Gray and the others back on their feet.

I... no!　Yep!　Now if you'll excuse me!

Oh, no. It's gone. Was she shy, I wonder?

What are you doing...

'Hahaha!　The Takht even messes with the spirits!　Setia's in trouble.

You just said thank you! I didn't touch you! Then, even Luna and Iyuki get popped by Luna and Iyuki. Wait, why?

''You messed with the water spirit, so you have every right to be angry with us, the fairies!　Master Takt should be reminded of this!

Meal even pissed me off... tell me what I should have done. Then I'll make it better.

Then we'll take it apart.

First the firearm flowers.

Gunpowder: rarity level 4 Material Item Quality D

A powder that causes a rapid combustion reaction when heated or shocked.

Fuse: Rare Level 3 Material Item Quality D-.

When lit, the grass burns at a constant rate.

The gunpowder is exactly what it is. Fuse grass must be a fuse from the name. I got a lot of it. Shall I make a bomb? It looks like it could be quite useful for the giants.

Next up is Garum.

Flaming Wolf's Fur: Rare Level 5 Material Item Quality D

Fuzzy fur with a deep red color. High chance of getting cold resistance and resistance to earth and wood attributes when used in protective gear.

Flame Wolf Fang: Rare Level 5 Material Item Quality D

The fang is characterized by its deep red color. When used on a weapon, it has a high probability of being given the fire attribute and a low probability of being given the effect of intense fire.

Fire Stone: Rare Level 2 Material Item Quality E+

A stone that possesses the attribute of fire. Can be obtained in volcanic areas and hot places.

Demonic Fire Stone: Rare Level 3 Material Item Quality E+

An ore that possesses the attribute of fire. It can be obtained in volcanic areas and hot places.

The fire wolf pelts and fangs could be obtained from all of them. The fire stone and fire ore were four each.

I'll have to request a lot of these! Then comes the level up.

'Your occupation summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 2 status points.

Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 2 skill points.

'Nowa's level has reached 20. Execute evolution.

'You have reached Bran's level 10. You have the provocation skill.

'You have reached chess level 16. You are ready to evolve.

'Gale's level has reached 16. You are ready to evolve.

'Byakuya's level has reached 16. You can evolve.''

''Yu Fang's level has reached 16. Your evolution is possible.

'Liqueur level has reached 16. You are ready to evolve.

It looks like the eight garmes were huge. I feel like it's been a long time since I've had two levels up. Now I have 59 skill points left. I'm going to swing my status points to the Agility value as usual.

Then let's go with the evolutionary rush! First up is Noah's evolution.

Name Tact Intermediate Summoner Lv15 to Lv17
