Chapter 203.1 - Light Stone
Chapter 203.1 - Light Stone
The crystasaur was really powerful.
In short, it was an extremely tough opponent with a tough and shiny outer shell which might be a result of eating the crystals. The combination of tough body and hard armour made it an even more troublesome enemy than the armour bear.
However, its true forte came from the fact that it could use three attributes: fire, ice, and thunder.
It could breathe fire from its mouth, conjure icicles from the ceiling and drop them down on us, or unleash a punch with sparks around its fists. And depending on the situation, it could also conjure defensive spells such as creating a wall of ice or fire.
This fellas combat prowess was definitely even higher than the boss monster I had met so far.
And that OP crystasaur was currently rolling around on the floor in an extremely miserable condition.
There you go, Kotaro-kun. One glowing beef has been defeated.
Yup, it had been defeated. It literally became a living punching bag for our strongest trio. Even I couldnt help but pity the poor fella.
As expected, Ryuuichi and Futaba-sans combi can reduce such an OP monster to such a miserable state.
Well, aint that bad for a mere sandbag.
Such was the nonchalant conversation between our great king and the hero-sama.
This crystasaur was obviously a mid-boss-like monster whose strength surpassed your average boss monster. You might say that this fella was really unlucky to meet our strongest trio of all people.
The crystasaur rampaged around by making full use of its huge frame and mastery of three attributes, fighting against the combo attack of our strongest trio resulting in the crushing of its glowing shell, heavy bleeding, and gut cutting open. Its prided crystal armour shattered into pieces, one of its arms was chopped off and the horn broken. And the moment crystasaur tried to escape after realizing that it was nothing more than a tough sandbag for the trio, Class Reps Ice Alma Shield blocked its path of retreat, cornering it all together.
Thanks to its overflowing life force, the poor guy ended up having to spend the last moment of his life in such a miserable state. Looking from the side, it looked like a scene of bullying.
Or rather, what did I do in this battle against crystasaur?
Youre with me right, Natsukawa-san?
I-Im scouting properly!
Well, I get yer feeling girl. The result of those three working together was a miserable end for our foe.
It didnt mean that I doubted Natsukawa-sans combat capabilities, but if she was to be compared with the strongest trio The difference was simply hopeless.
Uhm, I guess everyones growth rate is different from each other, and that difference only widened the further we went into the dungeon.
By the way, thank you for the hard work. This fella will be a good material.
I mean, finding a premium item right off the bat was kinda like a good omen.
Tough flesh, durable crystal shell that contained magical power, and huge core. This crystasaur was definitely a walking treasure chest.
Previously, my tension soared to a whole new level upon seeing the premium four-armed minotaurs and yet, it turned out there was an even more premium existence I guess we could just go back as it was after inspecting the crystasaur.
However, this guy aside, the thing that I was most worried about was the magic stone that the fella ate like a snack.
Maybe, this place is the place to mine magic stone.
You can say that. Theres a lot of magic stone buried inside the wall, after all, there must be a vein somewhere in this area.
Since there was a magic stone vein, it might be produced naturally inside the dungeon, or else, it got purified by the dungeon. Well honestly speaking, I didnt care what it was.
The most important matter was the fact that we could mine a lot of magic stones in this area.
Lets continue a bit more. Be careful, if my hunch is right, we will meet flocks of crystasaurs.
At worst, we would stumble into their dining hall. But if we could mine a large amount of magic stone Fufufu, an experiment in the creation of magic tools was akin to a dream come true!
Congrats Kotori-chan, your workload just got increased. I wont let you to sleep tonight, babey~.
.
..
Magic stone, it is just Light Stone.
Humph.
Well then, the glowing stone that got eaten by the monster and got enhanced inside its body, lets call it Crystalate.
I see.
When we brought back the corpse of crystasaur as the haul from todays exploration, all of a sudden, Takanashi spoke about the option for using our harvest.
Suddenly, I felt that she was similar to an NPC who would give you additional information after you met certain conditions in many famous RPG games, but it seems she just recalled the information mail a while ago.
Thanks to her vocation, Sage, Takanashi seems to receive a lot of emails. Maybe we should write that down.
So, this is the natural magic stone that we picked up from the mining area, or should I call it light stone instead?
U~hm
I showed the multicolored light stones which we picked up randomly from the mine.
Their colour, lustre, and shine were clearly inferior compared with the one we got from killing monsters. It felt like they were mere ore.
But then, as long as it was usable, I had no problem with using it though
The shine is too weak, almost no shine at all, but it might be possible to use alchemy to process them if we have a lot more.
Well then, Ill leave the matter of processing the light ore with alchemy to you then.
But, Kotori doesnt think that Kotori can do that.
No problem, lets raise your mastery with a special training menu. How does morning training sound to you?
Kotori will do the alchemy process!
This bi*ch, you should have said that you can do that from the very beginning, we ended up wasting a lot of time.
Lets give Kotori these light stones as sample, I still had a lot of things to do.
Crystalate, huh This is a rare one.
This crystasaur was undoubtedly a minotaur with crystalate. Since it literally ate light stone, it used the magical power inside the light stone and purified the light stone to create a hard outer shell in the form of crystalate on its body.
Its a nice haul but Far from enough to upgrade the 4th.
It was mainly because of me.
My goal was for Rem to have overwhelming power.
Currently, the minotaurs and the dark knight were the two most powerful incarnations of Rem. I should be able to exhibit more power if I focus the upgrade on these two.
Using Arachne, Alfa, gargoyle, and the others at the same time was kinda a bit too much for the current me, but well, since Rem was created to adapt to any kind of situation, there was a low possibility of them getting annihilated in the battle. But then, I shouldnt let my guard down despite the low possibility and do my best to upgrade Rem for any unforeseen circumstances.
But if I keep using all of them at this pace, I guess Ill be able to have enough power to control all of them at the same time.
If possible, I wanted all the current Rems to grow up and become even stronger for the time when we had to face Yamata no Orochi.
Even a steady step, one at a time, would be welcome. So, there was no need to hurry for now.
Lets strengthen the 4th again this time. The thing we need the most right now is mining.
Knowing the importance of mining the light stone under the pyramid, I had to make sure that the mining went according to the plan. However, I doubt the boys could be used as miners. It was a boring and tedious job, I was afraid it would drop their morale instead.
Though the matter of mining seemed to be easy at glance, it was in fact a boring and tedious job, not to mention it was heavy labour too, and this kind of job was perfect for Rem.
Perhaps I have to use the dark knight, minotaurs, and then gargoyle in turn.
That composition should complete the automated mining mechanism. If we add a skeleton platoon or high zombie platoon, it should be even more perfect.
Though Rem was a part of the exploration team, it shouldnt be a big deal if we replace her with another classmate.
Lets send Takanashi who started showing signs of lazing around and force her to gather the ingredients.
While were at it, lets also use this chance to rotate the members of each team. Lets make a rotation system to ensure that some of us get to stay in the tower for a break. Ill pass this proposal to Class Rep soon.
Well then, now we have a steady supply of light stone, I guess its time to start experimenting with disposable magic tools.
