Chapter 35 - Summoning Again! New Focus Banners?
.

.
After we had a good lunch, I had decided to finally summon, and use my ticket.
I am not going to waste all my Orbs though, and only do one roll with the ticket.
I open the summon menu and then…
Ding!
[Two NEW Focus Banners have been released!]
Oh right… four days ago it said that there would be two new Banners, so I guess they're here.
These banners were… Beach Episode banner and Dark Paths.
[Beach Episode Banner] [NEW!]
[Summon all the beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen wearing their swimsuit attire! Each version counts as a unit of their own, with new abilities that differentiate them from their original versions!]
[5 Star Focus: [Kireina, Ocean Beauty], [Noah, Summer Vampire], [Veronica, Phantasmal Swimmer]
Oh?
Kireina in… a beach outfit?
This is truly like a game sometimes.
And the other is…
[Dark Paths Banner] [NEW!]
[In this banner you will be able to summon all those who had fallen into the darkness and have walked through the path of shadows and evil, those corrupted by power, greed, lust, desires, and more can be obtained here…]
[5 Star Focus: [Noah, Malicious Vampire Overlord], [Redgaria, Insane Necromancer], [Miranda, Monstrous Bioweapon]
Oh… These are quite edgy, huh.
There's even Miranda, from Epic of Ice Dragon here… Whew, this is her version before reincarnating as Benladann in the World of Yggdrasil, so she is completely different from then… And probably taken over by the mold.
There's also the classic Noah, his "evil" version is actually the normal you can get anywhere, I don't know why he is featured here, maybe to cuck you into not getting Miranda, which seems to be the new one.
And there's a five-star Redgaria too… He's a strong Necromancer I suppose.
A Necromancer would come in handy… But I have seen that he has three-star and four-star versions as well, so I don't think I have to aim for him to get him eventually.
I am tempted for the Beach Banner… So let's go with that one, though, seeing it realistically, I might not get a 5 Star right away.
Using the 50% Discount Ticket I got from an Item Box some days ago, I decide to summon five new Summons for 10 Orbs, what a nice offer!
[You exchanged 10 Orbs and [50% Discount Gacha Ticket]!]
Come on… give me that Kireina… or Veronica too… Damn it, even the bare-chested Noah would be okay.
The summon ritual emerges in the screen in front of me, as Kireina and Ervas at my sides look attentively, several jewels suddenly emerge from the magic circles, as they reveal their rarity and the heroes within them.
[You summoned the following Heroes]
[Anna, Squirrel-kin Warrior Blacksmith] [????]
[Vudia, Treasury Princess] [????]
[Adelle, Koi Mermaid Princess] [???]
[Matsuo, Holy Light Practitioner] [???]
[Fernand Firebrand, Blazing Blade] [???]
Interesting… So many varied characters.
And yes, I didn't get what I wanted, but I already assumed it anyways, this is gacha for you.
Well, at the very least I consider this the "good type" of gacha. Even if you don't get what you wanted, you get useful stuff anyways.
Anna and Vudia being 4 Star kind of make sense, both were fairly strong… and if Anna carries the Blacksmith Skill, I could get it to craft items from materials. As of now, I can only upgrade them through the system, but what about making them anew?
Or is that not even necessary if I just go around grabbing loot like some rogue-like game?
Hmm…
Anyways, Anna is a squirrel-kin Beastwoman, a side character of Ervas' story, Demon Queen Rebirth. She is a nice and attentive woman, and later on, becomes a love interest of Veronica.
Vudia is one of Kireina's children, between her and Brontes (don't ask me how you won't want to know the answer), she is a half cyclops and half fairy, and quite adorable. She is good at using electricity and creating gold out of thin air to fight or create golems.
Adelle is another character from Kireina's Epic of Caterpillar, a Mermaid Princess with a good affinity with Holy Light Magic and Spiritual Light Magic, I don't know how she will carry herself around like a mermaid, but maybe she can just float…
Matsuo is a side character from Frank's novel, he is a strong holy light user who is a favored member of the Monk Family of Tokyo. He has a gentle and caring personality, though he also likes to joke around sometimes.
For some reason, readers don't like him despite having made him into an overall nice guy. People nowadays just want lone wolf novels, so they hate when the main character has a companion and rival and call it cliché, despite what they want also being horribly cliché. Maybe they were the vocal minority made up of a bunch of edgy kids with family issues.
And Fernand Firebrand is the major asshole of Vampire Overlord, being the main bully of the protagonist, Noah. Although after some time he stops bullying Noah anyways. He has a good affinity with Fire and most likely comes with his distinctive fire blade.
Overall, pretty good.
I still got other Summon Jewels from heroes I summoned before.
Now that I have cultivated my Mana a lot, I can more or less get one or two more Summons at my side.
Kireina and Ervas still drain a lot of mana, and they drain more as they grow stronger… both of them currently drain 400 Mana per minute, but I regenerate 1200 per minute, so it is fine for now, and it gives me mana to also use on my own techniques.
The ideal is leaving at least 500+ mana for my own use, meaning that… there's just 300 Mana left for the summons.
I am sure that the moment they level up and drain more mana I will have even more mana too, so perhaps two will be fine if they start at level 1 anyways…
I also found a way to gain EXP even without going to the dungeons, and that's killing innocent people!
…Joking.
Actually, it is by killing the innocent wildlife of these forests, especially the fish, they're everywhere and give decent EXP (nothing for me, but for level 1 summons it could be a fine amount).
After a while of thinking it out and more, I decided to summon Vudia and Anna, I still want Evan's Skills.
I quickly take both of their Jewels from my Inventory and first summon Vudia.
Crash!
The jewel cracks as a magic circle emerge on the floor, a figure begins to form from pure magic, materializing.
It is a young girl, looking around 11-12 years of age, quite adorable.
Her skin is golden brown, like glossy chocolate.
She has a single golden eye in the middle of her face, incredibly beautiful, alongside tiny fangs, long elf-like ears, and a small white horn growing in the middle of her forehead, alongside having a booby styled haircut with chestnut-colored hair, while wearing a beautiful floral dress of yellow color, and her wings are yellow and gold.
[You have summoned [Vudia, Treasury Princess] [????]!]
Vudia immediately glances at me with a bright, cheerful smile, and flies towards me.
"Master! Thanks for summoning me! Here, a gift for you!" she said cutely, as she suddenly conjures a flower-shaped gold sculpture…
I gently grab it as I pat her head.
"Thanks, glad to have you here," I said.
"It's my pleasure! Ah! Is that mama?" asked Vudia.
"Vudia!" said Kireina, as both began to hug and cuddle.
