The Summoner Is Going Chapter 171 Part1

Translation: DarkHeartedAlchemist
Editor: Weasalopes

We are proceeding along the branch path.

Jean has confirmed our next prey beforehand.

Is this their last active sp.a.w.n point?

Cause I will be kind of b.u.mmed out if it is.

Just as always, we can beat them no problem as long as we won't mistake bravery for bravado.

Higher Gozu Lv3

Youkai Target Subjugation Pa.s.sive

Battle Position: Ground  Light Attribute

Higher Mezu Lv3

All right!

I enhance everyone with spells as we prepare for battle.

I imbued the sword with Light Magic and used 【Identify】on it to see what changes have occurred.

【Sword】 Vajra Sword Quality B Rarity 5

AP +20 Destructive force 2+ Weight  1 Durability ?

Imbued with the power of Light Magic.

The weapon used by the Heavenly Generals. Draws out the user's latent powers. The material used in the making process is unknown.

A powerful weapon, but its durability cannot be restored.

Hmm? Isn't it different from before?

And if so, what might be the reason behind it?

Shouldn't AP be +19? And that Destructive Power value also looks somewhat off.

Ah!

Could it be that it's like that because I used the sword after strengthening myself with other spells?

Let me just check my status real quick.

Status:

DEX 18 (+3)

AGI 18 (+3)

INT 24 (+4)

STR 18 (+3)

VIT 18 (+3)

SPI 24 (+4)

Okay, everything's looking swell as usual. How about when I use Power Water?

Status:

DEX 18 (+3)

AGI 18 (+3)

INT 24 (+4)

STR 18 (+6)

VIT 18 (+3)

SPI 24 (+4)

And now cast 【Identify】on my weapon once more.

【Sword】 Vajra Sword Quality B Rarity 5

AP + 22 Destructive Power 2+ Weight 1 Durability value?

Imbued with the power of Light Magic.

The weapon used by the Heavenly Generals. Draws out the user's latent powers. The material used in the making process is unknown.

A powerful weapon, but its durability cannot be restored.

The stats went up!

So that would mean that the value of STR is directly reflected by the number of AP.

Or maybe it's half the STR value plus the Lv of the corresponding magic skill?

In that case, let's strengthen it even further.

Status:

DEX 18 (+7)

AGI 18 (+7)

INT 24 (+9)

STR 18 (+10)

VIT 18 (+7)

SPI 24 (+9)

The blade of the sword looks sick as heck now! So edgy!

All right, calm down, me, let's not forget why we're here in the first place.

If my prediction is correct, my STR should be around 28  now.

So AP should be… 24?

【Sword】 Vajra Sword Quality B Rarity 5

AP + 24 Destructive Power 2+ Weight 1 Durability value?

Imbued with the power of Light Magic.

The weapon used by the Heavenly Generals. Draws out the user's latent powers. The material used in the making process is unknown.

A powerful weapon, but its durability cannot be restored.

Yeah, that seems about right.

But the value of Destructive power still remains a mystery to me.

But wait.

There are still spells I can use to strengthen myself, like the s.p.a.ce-time spell, Gravity Mail.

It's a good opportunity to test it out, so let's go with it!

Status:

DEX 18 (+7)

AGI 18 (+11)

INT 24 (+9)

STR 18 (+15)

VIT 18 (+11)

SPI 24 (+9)

Wow, talk about some monstrous growth.

And now for the obligatory 【Identify】check.

Something is telling me that my AP is going to reach 26 now.

【Sword】 Vajra Sword Quality B Rarity 5

AP + 24 Destructive Power 3+ Weight 1 Durability value?

Imbued with the power of Light Magic.

The weapon used by the Heavenly Generals. Draws out the user's latent powers. The material used in the making process is unknown.

A powerful weapon, but its durability cannot be restored.

Hmm.

The Destructive Power seems to have gone up one level.

Ah!

Higher Gozu and Higher Mezu!

I'm sorry for leaving you guys all alone!

For a moment I forgot why I came here.

Not good.

I have to attend to the both of them at once! (read: kill them both)

Once all was said and done, we made a pretty short work out of them.

Maybe my strengthening spells were a little excessive after all.

I defeated Mezu without much difficulty, but against Gozu my light weapon was almost ineffective, so my monsters had to do the job in my stead.

Even so, this Vajra Sword weapon is pretty interesting!

It looks like the more strengthened I become, the more powerful the weapon itself will become.

I know it's probably impossible to achieve, but I'd like to have a few more of those at hand.

Going back will no doubt take some time, but now I finally have more reasons to face Deva King again.

However, something strange happened on the way back.

It was in the area where the floating bombs appeared.

The room originally had a hidden door placed within it, but now it looked different than when I was walking through it last time.

It was now filled with light and enemies, but not the usual Floating Bombs.

No, it was something else entirely.

Knife Thrower Lv5

Majin Target Subjugation Active

Majin, huh?

As in, a devil?

Whatever they are, they are certainly not Event Monsters since I can clearly see their levels and there are no spectators to be seen anywhere.

So what do we have here?

The Sword Dancer was obviously wielding a sword.

Dark Clown with small magical spheres that constantly appeared and disappeared.

A Juggler who was juggling around with four bowling pin-like clubs.

Pantomime who moved his hands in front of him as if he was trapped behind an invisible wall.

Acrobat jumping around like a gymnast, his weapons yet to be seen.

A Knife Thrower that swings his small daggers at a nearby wall.

What an unusual bunch that was.

Well, whatever they are, I'm sure we'll be just fine.

I'm lucky there are no Mad Bards with them this time. Just remembering my previous encounter with a group of enemies similar to them gives me conniptions.

The terrain is also perfectly flat, so even if they try to run or hide, Jean will be able to continue to attack them from above.

However, some of the monsters which I've seen for the first time might prove to be somewhat bothersome to deal with, mainly Sword Dancer, Dark Clown, Juggler and Acrobat Star.

So, what should I do here?

Of course, I'm going to fight!

After all, all of them are targets for subjugation.

Their levels are a little bit higher than the ones I met at the Area Portal, which means I should still keep my wits about me.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem like they've seen me yet, so I have time to cast my spells again.

This encounter might not be so bad after all.

Jean is the one who begins the a.s.sault.

Her special attack hits the Knife Thrower and she slams him into the wall with it.

Then she continues to fly above the Majin's to keep a close eye on them.

While the enemies are distracted it allows me to close the distance between us.

Now we have to make sure that our first attack will leave a good impression with them!

「Thunder Shower!」

My opener is a spear of chain lightning that hits all of the opponents.

And out of all of them, 3 ended up being paralyzed.

All in all, a pretty satisfying result.

But I had a feeling that something was not right here.

Wait a minute, is one of them missing?!

And then I felt something hitting me from the side with such a force that I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground.

My HP bar decreased by about 10%.

What was that?! Who did it?!

Then I noticed a Dark Clown with his magical spheres to my left.

This guy!

I slash at him with my blade which was changed into a lightning one in advance.

It cuts through him like through a piece of b.u.t.ter.

But there was no reaction from him, and in the next second, he had disappeared like a spirit.

No, it was definitely an illusion, because right now there are 2 Dark Clowns in front of me.

Wait, illusion?

But I didn't even see him casting any spell!

Even so, his MP bar got visibly reduced.

Illusions and an attack similar to Gravity Bullet that does not require normal casting method and illusions…

Are those the abilities of the Dark Clown?

Which is the main body and which is the illusion?

Well, it doesn't matter as long as I'll attack both of them at the same time!

The other ones attacked my monsters, but they were focusing on Jericho the most.

They must have recognized him as the most dangerous one among them.

And then, just like last time, a strange chase has begun.
