321 Chapter 320 (2/2)
”I already suspected that… but to think that monsters can even interfere in the dungeon shop. I guess in their eyes. I'm a monster too… will I drop a tome or items if I die?”
That way of thinking was a little disturbing, but it was possible. Considering Leon's experience so far, it was clear that the assimilation was something that was being controlled by someone. It would be too weird if it weren't. After all, how can someone explain the worlds in different parts of the universe getting connected by an odd crystal?
While Leon was thinking about that, the first chimera appeared. It was an excellent chance to see what that thing could do, and Leon almost missed the opportunity because Jertien smashed the beast with his hammer.
Chimera
Health: 12000/12000
Mana: 10000/10000
Stamina: 14000/14000
Active Skills: Fly Lv 300, War Cry Lv 310, Poison Bullet Lv 300, Poison Mist Lv 330
Passive Skills: Winds Resistance Lv 290, Fire Resistance Lv 310, Thunder Resistance Lv 250, Frightening Aura Lv 320
Leon would probably learn Poison Arrow if he seals their spirits inside a bow, he might even learn something like Poison Arrow Shower in case he doesn't learn Poison Mist directly. Although as much as Leon wanted to learn spells that could cast poison, he had no idea how to do so. It wasn't something he could create combining the elements… probably.
”Next time, try to crush only their lower half,” Leon said to Jertien. ”Perhaps I can make something good using a chimera.”
”Okay, boy,” Jertien nodded.
Leon thought he would ask a piece of equipment that could grant him the effects Leon wanted, but it looked like that wasn't the case. It was strange. Everyone knew that Leon could add some skill of the monsters to weapons, the most high-leveled ones had the chance to come, but they didn't ask for weapons that could poison enemies.
”I guess this is a warrior thing… they must be thinking among the lines 'poison is for cowards'… or something like that.”
Poisonous Mithril Bow
It grants you the skills: Poison Arrow Lv 150. Dexterity + 150, Speed + 150
”It isn't a fast as my spells that can be used non-stop, but I guess it is something... I really need to train Archery and Accuracy anyway, so this should be enough.”
It would be great if he could transfer the level of War Cry to the Emperor's Katana… Leon tried but failed. Chimeras were definitely poison type monsters… not neutral. Regardless, Leon also put the spirit of a chimera in one of his spears and obtained War Cry Level 155.
”I should learn this... the problem is, I don't fight in groups all that much. Besides, at least one of them probably knows this skill.”
It was a good idea to learn the skill itself instead of relying on items, but Leon also had no idea how to infuse mana on his voice in order to give the boost of status to his allies.
”Inglar, Ivolaer, and Ismenria,” Jorhorn said. ”You three will look for enemies and crush them if they get too close. The others will help me to fill Soul Eater with ours and the monsters' mana.”
Leon didn't have to help Jorhorn, Alurelle, Genelosa, and Jertien, even on their smaller form, they could easily defeat the chimeras. So, he decided to practice a new spell. It wouldn't help him all that much against the angels, but Leon decided to practice Freezing Mist, the most powerful spell that Lennart could use.
”A combination of wind and water magic…”
It wasn't something Leon could put to practice because the power of his single target spells was devastating, but he could at least for a few seconds, use the spells on himself, and level up them a little faster. Although it took a few days, Leon eventually learned the spell. He already knew the tricks to combine two different elements, after all.
