Chapter 1087: Moving Forward

After reading the insanity that the new Bone Skill had become, I quickly took a look at the last Skill of today, I had gotten quite a deadly arsenal in my hands already, more and I would feel even more overwhelmed, I would have to admit.

[Abyssal Demonic Machine Sentinel Summon: Lv1]
The Demonic Skill Evolution form of the [Mechanical Creation] Skill.
Combine your mechanical engineering skills and techniques with demonic conjuration and summoning magic to bring forth mechanical abominations hyper charged with demonic energy batteries that overflow with abyssal auras.
By using available materials such as metal and other similar items, you can summon mighty Abyssal Demonic Machine Sentinels, whose shapes and forms varies based in the type of Sentinels they are, their Classes, Abilities, and Powers.
These summoned Abyssal Demonic Machines Physical and Magical Power, Durability, and Movement Speed will be based both on the Materials used for their creation and also on 300% (+30% x Skill Level) of the Spirit, Intelligence, and Dexterity Stats of the Summoner, plus the Demonic Energy stored within their Demonic Energy Batteries, created alongside them.
The Created Machines will be assigned with Classes based on the Summoner's input, if no input is given their Classes will be chosen randomly based on the available pool of shapes and forms, which increases with the Skill Level.
Each Machine will be able to move on their own, analyze the terrain, detect foes, fight, work together, and more with extreme intelligence, always following the orders of the summoner.
They can fuse together to combine their stats and power, alongside unleashing all matter of powerful attacks, from physical Demonic Skills to Demonic Magic and Abyssal Darkness Magic, they can also feed on the blood and souls of defeated foes, strengthening themselves and being able to self-repair based on that.
Each Class Special Skills, Abilities, and Magic Spells is further boosted by the Summoner as long as they're within a 300-meter vicinity of the machines and while they have activated a {Demon Aura}, further increasing their Power and Effects by 400% (+40% x Skill Level) and granting any of the machine's attacks a 20% chance to cast [Paralysis] or [Terrible Bleeding] on foes per physical attack.
Available Machine Classes:
Level 1: [Machine Sentinel: Heavy Tank Class] [Machine Sentinel: Long Distance Class]
Level 2: ???

"Amazing!"
I felt rather shocked with this one, it pretty much allowed me to summon even stronger, already made mechanical golems, fusing my vampiric and demonic powers into their abilities to a level I wouldn't have been able to do before too, which is honestly one of the most impressive things as well.
The special effects they carry, their tremendous power, and even their own personal classes made of these beings a rather impressive group of machine entities, although they also require specific metallic materials to function, feeding them that shouldn't even be a problem.
After all, we're in the middle of a war-thorn area of the continent, we're killing armed foes by the thousands, and their armor and weapons are an immense amount of materials I could use to create my machines!
However, their toughness or power is debatable… But at the very least there's materials to begin with. Anyways, now that I'm done with all the things I wanted to use, I finally felt free.
"Alright, we're finally done, let's go."
I quickly walked downstairs, meeting all my friends, Erika and Elizabeth were there, running to greet me and hug me for some reason.
"You're back!" Erika said. "Ready to go? Huggies!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm ready now," I smiled with a nod. "I got everything ready. Elizabeth, what about you?"
"I'm ready as well, mooch," she kissed my lips. "But I needed my good luck kiss…"
"Heh, well, if that's what you wanted, I'm glad I could be of help," I caressed her cute face. "Now, let's go, I assume the rest are outside?"
"Yeah, they already started fighting with the monsters that gathered outside to warm up," said Elizabeth. "Erika's spirits were sent as surveillance and only one came back."
"Is that so?" I wondered, as we walked outside the fortress. "What did you find?"
"They were very strong, so my little stealth dolls were defeated, only one made it back…" Erika sighed. "There's roughly… Hmm, I dunno, maybe thirty… thousand? Monsters, and also lizardmen."
"I see… but your dolls aren't really weak anymore," I said. "Who killed them?"
"It was a group of Draconic Generals!" she said. "There were three of them- no, four, three lackeys and a really big, strong one leading them."
"Huh, so there are ranks even between the draconic generals," I nodded. "Just how many of these lizards are there? Fafnir must have at least made over fifty if there are so many everywhere."
"Yes, definitely," nodded Elizabeth. "But compared to the perhaps millions of foes everywhere else, it is certainly not as much. A hundred elite among a million pawns, its certainly quite a few."
"Well, they're dying all the same," I sighed, shrugging. "Unless someone as strong as Fafnir himself shows up, I don't think we'll have difficulties. Let's move on."
"H-Hey, don't jynx it now!" said Erika as I walked towards the outskirts of the fortress area.
"Hahah, I think he did it intentionally, he's eager to fight something as strong as Fafnir right now…" Elizabeth giggled. "But I believe Fafnir is sure biding his time doing something else… At this point I am sure he has sensed us."
"I've been provoking him to come attack me all this time," I said. "Yet nothing, he's either afraid of me or has other plans, and he sees our entire struggle as insignificant to him."
"Is he that strong to look down on us… on you this much?" Erika muttered, feeling slightly nervous.
"Yes, maybe," I nodded. "Bestellen was the hardest foe we've ever fought, someone that, if we didn't have prepared tens of trump cards, we would have all died… Imagine that without any of his weaknesses, such as old age, all his wounds, and weakened divinity… That's Fafnir, perhaps twice as strong too."
"H-How come… such a monster was even allowed to be born here?" muttered Elizabeth. "Had he been hiding here this entire time?"
"That is one mystery we'll have to solve…" I said, summoning dozens of giant guns out of my Umbral Crimson Aura and facing thousands of foes. "Let's go."
