Chapter 86 - Aqua And Wagyu
Chapter 86 - Aqua And Wagyu
-----
After checking on Katrina's stats, I moved to Aqua, the cute slime here.
…
[Name: [Aqua]
[Race: [High Lake Water Slime]

…
She was a powerful Slime, her Abilities let her manipulate the shape of her body, and even mimicry certain things, while also camouflaging within an area as a puddle of water. Well, I guess that's not so useful. Or is it? Her constitution also helps her dissolve almost anything and regain energy from it.
She can also similarly manipulate water than Katrina, and she had a weapon, shield, and armor techniques because Veronica, her owner in the original story, taught her to use her own Living Armor Body to unleash techniques.
She came with Veronica's gear as well, so she can actually take a humanoid slime-girl form using this armor, looking rather cute.
"Blob! Do you like this form better, Master?" she asked, as her aquamarine eyes sparkled cutely.
"Oh, eighter of the two look great," I said.
"Geez… I wanted you to praise me and say I was cute, gubo!" said Aqua.
"Well, you're very cute," I said, petting her.
She ended very energetic after that and quickly jumped into the Training Grounds, hitting the dummies with her powerful techniques.
Meanwhile, I checked Wagyu's stats.
…
[Name: [Wagyu]
[Race: [Shadow Wolf Emperor]
[Element(s): [Shadow], [Darkness]
[Weapon Type: [Claws], [Bite]
[Level: [01/10]
[Vitality: [400/400]
[Strength: [550]
[Magic: [200]
[Dexterity: [500]
[Skills]
[Shadow Wolf Emperor (A)]
[Blazing Black Fire Fighting Style (B)]
[Shadow Manipulation (B)]
[Locked Skills]
[…]
[Equipment]
[Weapons: [Shadow Claws of the Wolf Emperor (A)]
[Body: [Element-resistant Black Fur (B)]
[Accessory: [Kireina's Shadow Embrace Pendant (B)]
…
Wagyu had a nice status for being Level 1 too, and 4 stars at that. His abilities were all around manipulating shadows and using his natural strength and dexterity. He can coat himself in black flames as well, which come from his previous evolution as a Crimson Wolf King, a type of wolf that was able to use fire.
After he evolved into a Shadow Wolf, he became pretty strong and more unique, but he was still able to use his flames to attack, but now they were black.
His weapon type is Claws and Bite, so I guess there could be more beast-type Summons in the future that is not quite tamed monsters, even if they look like them.
Even Wagyu came with the equipment, which was his own fur, claws, and a pendant that enhanced his capabilities a bit.
He was overall a good and fast fighter, but needed to level up to catch up with us…
"Sorry, but can you guys stay in the Training Ground for now? We'll leave you snacks and a lot of things, and you can go rest in the house too," I said.
"Oh, of course. Summons don't need to eat though, Master, but I appreciate your concern. I will make sure to enjoy your snacks," said Katrina while smiling a bit.
"No problem! I am already practicing!" said Aqua.
"It will be done as you say, Master! Don't concern about us!" said Wagyu.
All three of them rushed into the training grounds and began to practice against the dummies there, who were somewhat immortal and never broke. Although I had tried taking them out and was impossible, it was all indestructible, even the entire annexed land. Sadly, I can't throw it in the face of my enemies.
As everything seemed to be over, for now, I decided to check my current tasks, which had been updated. Although they only took into consideration the days outside, so daily tasks couldn't be done faster while being inside my Inner World.
Ding!
[New Tasks have been generated!]
[Main Tasks]
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 400 Foes: [Random Item Box] x2, 5000 Gold, 5000 Hero Feathers, 2 Orbs]
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 800 Foes: [Random Item Box] x4, 10000 Gold, 10000 Hero Feathers, 5 Orbs]
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 1600 Foes: [Random Item Box] x8, 20000 Gold, 20000 Hero Feathers, 10 Orbs]
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 3200 Foes: [Random Item Box] x16, 40000 Gold, 40000 Hero Feathers, 20 Orbs]
[Conquer an Otherworldly Dungeon: [Dungeon Master Crate] x1, 30000 Gold, 10000 Hero Feathers, 10 Orbs]
[Reach SSS-Rank+++: [All Daily Dungeons Ticket: Intermediate/Hard Difficulty] x3, 100000 Gold, 50000 Hero Feathers, 20 Orbs, [Premium Random Item Box] x4]
…
Ohh?! These tasks are literally asking me to slaughter the invaders… Now, this is what I call a nice incentive, System!
I can get a bunch of Orbs, Gold, Hero Feathers, and even item Boxes out of it! I could summon and upgrade so much with that… Man, that's really getting me pumped up. I guess this is the nice thing about Tasks or Quests in games! When the rewards are lame like some EXP, it doesn't incentivize you as much, but if they are openly handling you summoning currency, then it is pretty good then!
Alright then, time to get out of here and into the world outside!
I quickly open a rift that leads to the world outside, as we walk out and meet once more the Dungeon Crystal… Wait, can't I conquer this one to get that task done?
I quickly ask that to Gaia.
"Sorry but I've already conquered this Dungeon myself, if you try to take over me… well, it will damage me, and I've already put my consciousness here…" she said.
"Oh… Well, it was worth asking for," I said.
"Indeed, I hope you had a nice break. Now, I've made you a route that will lead you through a series of monsters and dungeons for a fast leveling, which will also lead you into the closest area with a large population of humans still struggling to survive…" she said, as a map emerged in a holographic window.
