Volume 1 Chapter 9 (1/2)
About a week passed since I heard the story about the [Crimson Cavern] from Marcho.
During the past week, I have made a stock of weapons using [Creation]. All while focusing on leveling up.
And so, even at this moment, Tenko was engaging in battle.
Free of any danger, Tenko dodged an attack from the C rank monster Orthros and proceeded to close in on it. She defeated it in a blow using her shotgun, the Remilton M870P.
The Orthros turned into blue particles and vanished. At the same time, Tenko’s body shined palely.
“Oto-san, I’ve become level 10!”
“Great job.”
“With this, we can now go to the [Crimson Cavern]!”
At last, Tenko reached level 10. I guess it’s because of her great delight but her eyes were sparkling while her fluffy fox tail was swinging.
I had already reached level 10 ahead of her so that meant Tenko and I had then cleared the requirement given to us by Marcho in order for us to be taken to the [Crimson Cavern].
“Oto-san, let’s go right away. Hurry, let’s go to where Marchosias-sama is!”
Tenko lead me by the hand as if to say she couldn’t wait anymore.
We were only able to fight three times a day so we had begun to accumulate a fair amount of stress.
“No, not today. Let’s go tomorrow.”
“Muuuu. Why?”
“I want to give the Skeletons one last tuning.”
Each passing day, I diligently made M&K MK 416 assault rifles. In the same span of that time, I had also purchased nine skeletons.
I was able to afford the Skeletons due to the 660 DP I earned by doing the daily monster hunt.
The storing away of monsters, which was a Demon Lord skill, allowed one to bring up to 10 of their monsters. If that was the case, I thought it would be a waste for the number of my monsters to be far below the limit. And so, I bought the Skeletons.
Each one was a cheap monster that costed only 20 DP. When created to be at a fixed level, they would randomly be at level 1 to 10. Because of that, it didn’t really matter if they were created to be at a fixed level or not and if so, somehow the better option was to let them be able to grow because, in their case, they were able to level up up to level 20.
By the way, in the case of a Celestial Fox, they would randomly be born at around level 70 to 80. If they could level up, they could go as high as level 90.
“Skeletons are, like, weak monsters, aren’t they?”
Tenko had a dislike towards Skeletons. Well, she is a girl so it’s understandable.
“Well, yeah, they sure are weak. I won’t deny that.”
The Skeleton’s status was terrible.
Race: Skeleton G rank
Name: Unnamed
Level: 1
Physical Strength: E+
Endurance: E
Agility: F
Magic Power: F
Luck: G
Special: G
Skill: The Deceased
The act itself of comparing it with Tenko was presumptuous. From the start, the Skeleton had nothing of note except for its cost to performance efficiency.
“I can fight all by myself.”
“Maybe but even if they were to only guard our backs, I’ll appreciate it. They’ll also provide us additional firepower which we need. So, they’ll be fighting alongside us. Let me show you that they aren’t just things to cast aside.”
Total attack power in this world was calculated by means of an addition. Even if the attacker’s own offensive ability was low, the gun’s firepower would compensate for it. The attack power of Skeletons equipped with M&K MK416 assault rifles could be compared to B rank monsters.
Tenko had a dislike towards the Skeletons so she wasn’t there to witness their training but this looked the right opportunity to show her their abilities.
“[Release] Skeletons”
I summoned the nine Skeletons I stored away in a different dimension.
Each of them carried an assault rifle in their hands.
“Skeletons, you are now able to put up quite a fight due to my training. Today will be your last day of training.”
