Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 307
◈ 307. [[Free Exploration] Farming during intermission (4)
Originally, this boss monster had various gimmicks..
In conjunction with the alchemy experiment device installed in the boss room, patterns were prepared to amplify magic or summon experiments..
But there was no time and no reason to look at it..
We poured out all our firepower at once, and the boss monster could not hold out for long due to the overwhelming barrage of attacks..
“After all, who is the best?.”
I nodded my head as I looked at the boss mob that fell miserably with its HP bar depleted..
Then Junior, who was standing next to me, muttered depressedly..
“……It's been a while since I thought I'd show off my skills…….”
I guess I had some expectations after meeting a high-level wizard enemy..
It would have been fun to see a magic battle between high-level wizards. I say it again and again, we are in a time attack! I don't have time for that.!
《With the lives of non-citizens... … If this experiment succeeds…….》
A muttering sound escaped from the mouth of the fallen boss monster - Laboratory Director Diran Dahi..
《At the Magic Tower… … By uploading my thesis, I also received recognition... … A new guardian tree... … synthesis…….》
“Oh, leave quickly! I have to root the system and go back.!”
1Every minute and second is a waste! I struck the final blow at the boss mob without hesitation. The troll sorcerer fell with the death spell..
ring!
The dungeon clear judgment was displayed, and the treasure chest inside the boss room was opened. Without even checking what the loot was, I hastily stuffed it into my inventory..
‘There is not much time left!’
[The remaining time for [Emergency Equipment Repair Quest] is now 3 minutes.!
Fortunately, I gathered all the ingredients. Now all you have to do is go back and you're done..
Upon clearing the dungeon, the safe zone was opened, the familiar teleport gate was activated, and a magic door was created..
I was about to jump into it in a gasp, but Verdandi urgently stopped me..
“Ash! Hey, I have something to tell you.!”
“uh?! What?! The business is quick and simple!”
“This dungeon! There are still some monsters left and there are unsearched areas! Is it okay if our party takes a look around some more??!”
Verdandi and the Holy Grail Exploration Team looked at me with determined faces and made a request..
No, in the first place, you are not under my command yet? You don’t have to ask for permission, you can do whatever you want… … I feel like you have already come under my command.?
I waved my hands wildly..
“Okay, then just me and my party come back! The rest of us help the Holy Grail Exploration Team search the remaining sections! okay?!”
Verdandi’s face brightened..
“Thank you, Ash.!”
“It was nothing! Well then, that's it!”
I threw myself into the teleportation gate. There's only 1 minute left!
flashing-!
***
As soon as I rolled out of the base camp's teleport gate, I sprinted towards Kelly Bay's blacksmith shop..
“Kelly Bay! I'm here!”
The inside of the blacksmith shop became even more chaotic, and black tentacles overflowed to the point that it was overflowing. What on earth did I have to do to the equipment to end up like this?!
Kelly Bay, who was swinging the hammer and crushing the tentacles, looked at me with a smile..
“Did you bring all the ingredients??!”
“take it-!”
I threw down the bag of ingredients. Kelly Bay, who took it with ease, twisted her beard and laughed.
“good! They're all dead now, you tentacle monster.!”
Then, I spread out the ingredients I had obtained on the table, sprinkled different types of magic ingredients on the hammer, and struck down each tentacle one by one to catch it..
(※(This is a scene where weapons are smelted in a blacksmith shop.) I think we need the same instructions... … . If you look at this, it looks like they are refining equipment..
“Hmm~?”
At that time, Evangeline, who came behind me and was watching this scene with me, asked in a dark voice..
“Seniors. Could it be that that bunch of tentacles... … It's not our family's equipment.……?”
“Ah, ah, no, man! Is that possible??!”
Am I shaking by any chance??
“Hehe… … Yes? That can't be possible. Hehehehe…….”
With her big green eyes rolling, Evangeline pulled out her bone spear and stuck out her tiny tongue to lick the blade..
“Even if it happens... … I think I'll feel a little sorry for you, senior. Huhuhuhu.”
“Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Fortunately, Kelly Bay's emergency equipment repairs worked..
Every time the hammer imbued with magic light was struck, the writhing tentacles retracted and melted into the equipment and disappeared..
When the black tentacles disappeared, the beautifully reforged spear and shield were revealed..
In the past, it was an old, rusty, and faded piece of equipment that had been repaired with other metal plates for damage sustained in fierce battles..
At Kelly Bay's fingertips, the two heirlooms of the Cross family were restored to their original appearance. It was a beautiful sight with gold decorations on a white background..
“Phew!”
When Kelly Bey, covered in sweat, put down the hammer with a sigh, the Cross family's spear and shield were in an extremely beautiful condition..
Kelly Bay put down his welding mask and took off his gloves and gestured..
“finished. Check it.”
Just a moment ago, Evangeline had the face of a highwayman with a fierce tongue wagging her tongue, but now she looked like a child receiving a Christmas present..
Evangeline came to the table with her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open and let out an exclamation..
“oh my god.”
Evangeline carefully swept down the spear and shield with her fingertips. Kelly Bay bursts into laughter.
“What do you think? Do you like it??”
“If the dwarf grandfather had been 50 years younger, not bald, and had no beard, I would have kissed him. I like it.”
Kelly Bay narrowed his eyes and looked at me..
“……Was that an insult just now??”
“I think he said it was a compliment..”
Fortunately, it seems that Evangeline has taken a liking to him. Evangeline, her eyes sparkling, slowly put her gear on her arms..
“Interesting… … The appearance is completely different, but the weight and balance are the same.!”
“of course. Because the essence has not changed. Everything else has been upgraded.”
The spear and shield were studded with red and blue gems that had never been seen before. Evangeline wondered as she examined the jewels..
“Hey, what is this??”
“Those are the things I had a hard time with this time.…….”
At the same time as Kelly Bey quietly lamented, the two jewels emitted magic light.…….
“Wow?!”
Fairies with butterfly wings rose one by one from each jewel. Evangeline opened her mouth in surprise..
“This could not be… … government ordinance?”
In the cavalry spear held in Evangeline's right hand, the spirit of flame spun along the conical blade..
The ice spirit laughed and slid down the shield's metal surface from the shield held in his left hand..
I spat out in surprise too..
“It's a spirit weapon.?!”
Spirit enchantment is the highest option among all equipment enchantments! All I did was eat a few of the very lucky drops in the game..
“No way, Kelly Bay, you can arbitrarily assign spirits to equipment.?”
Yoyo cute blacksmith! You have a lot of talent!
When I asked happily, Kelly Bay gestured to the side..
“It's not me, it's Hannibal's work..”
Then, a boy with messy hair walked out of the workshop inside the blacksmith shop hesitantly..
It was Hannibal, an N-rank mercenary whom I had previously hired and assigned as an assistant to Kelly Bay..
“Hannibal is an elementalist. It was possible to communicate with spirits..”
“An elementalist? I thought it was a job that stopped paying a long time ago.…….”
It is a job that only exists as a setting in the game and has never been hired..
‘They said he was hiding something, and that was his talent for elementalism..’
When everyone looked at them in surprise, Hannibal bowed low..
“I'm sorry... … ! I thought that letting a spirit dwell in it would make it better equipment, so I tried to enchant it arbitrarily, and this happened.…….”
According to Hannibal's explanation:.
Evangeline's equipment had so much potential that a spirit was inhabited to make it better, but the spirit ran wild and caused the black tentacle incident..
‘……So, the tentacles that were wriggling just a moment ago are the same spirits.?’
I stared at the fire and ice spirits that Evangeline was cackling with. Mmm.
“I'm really sorry. I won't go beyond this topic from now on.…….”
Hannibal, who was in tears, sniffled and spoke. I squatted down in front of Hannibal and gently squeezed his shoulders..
“What are you talking about, Hannibal? Thanks to you, such wonderful equipment was created..”
“Tuesday, His Royal Highness…….”
“It's okay to fail. So, don't give up and keep trying..”
How expensive are spirit weapons? … It's good equipment!
This means that I can keep making it as long as I have you! You can use up as much equipment as you want, so never give up, it's a lot of money! Oh no Hannibal!
Anyway, Evangeline's exclusive weapon, which has completed the highest level enchantment 'Epiphany', is as follows..
[Cross Family Spear Revise - Ifrit Edition (SSR) Lv.75]
[Cross Family Shield Revise - Glacier Edition (SSR) Lv.75]
Gae (改) is a word that means upgrade..
When attached to a dedicated weapon, it means that it is demonstrating its original performance..
And the 'edition' attached to the end is a modifier that only applies to spirit weapons. Indicating which spirit resides.
Ifrit, the flame spirit, was attached to the spear, and Glacier, the ice spirit, was attached to the shield..
“The spirits may not listen well at first, but as you become more familiar with them and become more skilled at handling them, they will be of great help to you..”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Evangeline screaming as she was bitten from both sides by two spirits... … Grow strong, Evangeline..
Anyway, here is the performance of the enchantment. The original performance of dedicated equipment is different..
A representative example is the constant activation of the exclusive characteristic [Crossroad].
[crossroads]
- Characteristics developed through the accumulation of the Cross family's karma of killing monsters and protecting people..
- You can figure out the optimal path and move accordingly in any combat environment..
- When activated, MP is continuously consumed..
A characteristic close to intuition or sixth sense, [Crossroad].
This trait was originally a toggle-type trait that was turned on only when Evangeline was concentrating, as it would continuously consume magic power if turned on..
With upgraded dedicated equipment, it can be activated at all times without consuming magical power..
Now Evangeline will never allow her enemies to take her by surprise and will always be able to make the optimal move..
Here, you can use the special function [Booster].
Going to school-!
When Evangeline powerfully stretched out her spear, a spark of magic shot out from the guard part of the cavalry spear to the rear..
At the same time as the spear accelerated at once and pierced the air,-
Well done!
Magical sparks are sprayed back from the tip of the spear..
The spear, which had been thrown out at incredible speed, stopped high in the air. Evangeline exclaimed..
“Wow, what! awesome! I can control acceleration and deceleration at will.?”
The same goes for spears and shields. You can accelerate or slow down your movement by spewing out a spark of magic in the desired direction..
Here are some powerful stats.
The most powerful equipment we have acquired so far was the equipment called [Nightmare Slayer]..
Equipment forged from defeating nightmare commanders and using their magic core..
Damien’s [Black Queen]. Junior's [Lord of Crimson]. Kuilan's [Slayer of the Full Moonlight]].
Exclusive equipment that has been upgraded has performance equivalent to this Nightmare Slayer. In fact, it's a terminal equipment, so I've said it all..
‘……The Black Queen is a bit out of the norm, though..’
That's because the user is overlapping with things that are outside the standard. Anyway, it's all a final equipment line..
“Umm… … Mmm……!”
After putting down the equipment, Evangeline rested her chin and thought seriously, then looked at Kelly Bay and Hannibal and asked:.
“Should I give you a kiss too??”
Hannibal, embarrassed, hid behind Kelly Bay, and Kelly Bay waved his hands..
“That's it, young ahaha... … An old, bald, bearded dwarf doesn't need that. If you want to do it, just do it to your commander..”
Then Evangeline turned to me and opened her arms wide..
“great! I feel it! Senior, come on!”
“Don't just take my heart, just my heart…….”
“Oh my, you never get a second chance like this.?”
Even if you give it to me three times, it’s okay, you idiot..
Evangeline playfully stuck out her lips and made an ooh sound. I shook my head and ignored him and gestured to Lucas..
“Did you see it, Lucas? The power of the upgrade-only equipment is so great. Next time, I'll be repairing your [granted sword], so don't forget to take it with you..”
“…….”
Lucas smiled bitterly with an embarrassed expression on his face for some reason, then nodded slowly..
“Yes, my lord. I'll prepare it for you.”
“……?”
I tilted my head..
Why does he always seem nervous whenever the story of [the sword he was given] comes up??
‘Once upgraded, it is one of the strongest equipment in this world..’
You didn't lose it or ate it, right? huh?
