The second Saturday of October. It's getting colder and colder.
After finishing this and that in the morning, I log in at around 8am.
Today….hmmm….let's go to the dium.
Assault on the neighbourhood engineers! Either Mi-go or Yith, whichever I et first.
"Oh, Mi-go-san. I've got a question about the armoured types."
"What is it?"
"Do you know of a good way to deal with the multi-warhead missiles of the General-Purpose Elimination Type?"
"Oh, that. It's weak to those who know how to deal with it. Having multiple missiles at the sa ti is both an advantage and a disadvantage."
According to Mi-Go A-san, there are several ways to deal with multi-warhead missiles.
First of all, you can use [Reflect Shield] with a shield. This is recomnded because it can be returned to the opponent safely.
Next is to intercept the missiles in flight with a burst spell or similar attack. If you are too close, you will be caught in the explosion, but that is about it. The explosive range of the multi-warhead missiles is small, due to their nature, so it is an effective way of stopping them.
If you are fast enough, you can shoot them down while moving back. Alternatively, you can intercept them with multi-lock magic missiles, but this is not recomnded because of the high speed of multi-warhead missiles.
If possible, intercept at long range or reflect before the missile divides. If you can hit the missile before it splits, the post-split missiles won't lock on. However, the General-Purpose Elimination Type is highly mobile, so it is impractical for humankind. It is not recomnded.
If far enough away, the wall spells are effective and you can also intercept with a barrier before the missile splits.
"And so on, there are many way to deal with it."
"Muu… I see. You're right, that's true.
"If you know, it's not a big deal, but it's painful at first sight."
In my case, shoot them down or reflect them before they split. If I can't do that, destroying them with [Dark Burst] should be a stable thod.
I could probably use [Raum Escude] and move forward before it splits, but if I'm going into that range I could just reflect.
Each of the warheads is small. Therefore, it explodes with little impact. The power is modest, but the number and accuracy make up for it.
Next, I asked about magic guns and how to make them. I was told the story of how magic guns were first created, but got told to think about how to make them myself.
I'll write it up on the BBS later.
"By the way, where did you et it?"
"In a ruins dungeon in the Dinite Empire, on the southern continent."
"Oh, so there was a dungeon with a defence system in that area."
"Speaking of which, what's the principle behind dungeons?"
"Hmm. Put simply, it's due to the influence of Creall-sama and Stellura-sama. Well, we're engineers. We're not scholars, so ask Cyäegha about that."
"Cyäegha? I haven't t them yet."
"He's not in a fixed place, but if you call him from the balcony on the second floor of the castle, he will co."
So there is a place to call him. It's a good idea, so I will ask.
Leaving the Mi-go, I go to the old castle. ….By the way, how can the Mi-go and Yith talk? No, it's too late for that. King Woofwoof is able to speak, and even golems can howl?
Cyäegha… What was it like? Let's see. …Ah, it was like the floating eyeball you see in many gas.
Putting aside other gas, this one is based on more on the Cthulhu TRPG….An eyeball surrounded by green tentacles. It supposedly has a lot of intellectual curiosity. So a scholar.
I will be calling it soon, so we'll see.
…It's fine to co here, but I should have asked for more details. I don't know how, specifically, to call. I wasn't told to cast a spell, so maybe just calling out works. If not, I'll think about it then.
"Cyäegha, can you hear ? I have sothing to ask."
…This is a one-way street, isn't it? And I can't see very far. So I don't know if it worked. I don't know how fast it flies, so should I wait about 5 minutes?
Oh, it ca in about 3 minutes. It worked.
…Well, put into words….a round, black mass is floating in the sky, and if looked at more closely, I can see it is made up of long tentacles. After a split is ford in the mass, separating into upper and lower parts, a green eye is looking at intently.
It is not a bloodshot, crazy eye, but a very intelligent looking one.
"I thought it was an unfamiliar voice, and I see. You were the newcor, Anastasia."
"Nice to et you, Cyäegha. I was directed to you when I asked a Mi-go about dungeons."
"Oh. What do you want to know about dungeons?"
"I'd like to know what a dungeon is in the first place."
This person….or not, but how does it speak even though there are only tentacles and an eye…. No, it's a ga. I don't have to worry about it.
"It's the effect of Creall-sama's creation power and Stellura-sama's power over ti and space. Have you heard of the Akashic Records?"
"Is it the mory of the world?"
"Yes, right. The dungeons are connected to the Akashic Records."
A fragnt of the worlds mory is caught in the power of Stellura-sama, then manifests through Creall-sama's creation power and the energy of mana… or, so it can be said.
By adding the two statues, it can be stabilised, so it will function as a dungeon that can be used by humankind.
"In other words, the influence of the gods that pervades the world, plus the addition of mana."
"Is there no doubt it is the influence of the power of the pri and vice gods?"
"I don't know if it's intentional or not. Mana alone can't explain it."
"Then, what about the things that appear in the dungeon?"
"They are mainly born from mories of the past. Reproductions of mories of the past…just reproductions. Unfortunately, I don't know much more than that. Dungeons are alien worlds where common sense does not apply."
In a different world that is created by a combination of mana and the power of the gods, why do drops from defeated enemies exist? Even if it is a reproduction of a past mory, it should be nothing more than an illusion. But where did that physical substance, which remains as a drop, co from?
"I can only think that it is due to the influence of Creall-sama's creation power…. but I cannot prove it."
It should be only an eye and tentacles, but it is a being that can feel emotions. Right now… it is fairly easy to tell from the look in its eye, that it is quite happy.
Completely a scholar, a researcher.
"Are there no enemies from the future?"
"They are not non-existent. But it's easier to see the past than the future. In other words, it requires less energy. You might see them in a huge dungeon, with a lot of mana to supply the energy."
"So small ones cannot afford it."
"Probably. But, to be honest, that's not the point."
"Is that so?"
"How do we, who do not know the future, know that is an enemy from the future? They may have existed sowhere, but were never found. So are like dragons, so are like fairies. The best we can do is speculate. If we keep a record of it, eventually we will get an answer."
I see…. even if it is a future enemy, we can't prove it. If it cannot be proved, to a scholar it is just an incomplete hypothesis.
It is impossible and unrealistic to search every corner of the world.
And the troubleso part, these types of people like to look around by themselves, so there is no option to them of asking the gods directly.
Would Stellura-sama be willing to speak with such a person? ….She might actually give you the answers, if you wanted.
"I have gotten answers to what I wanted to know. Thank you very much."
"I see. Then, I would like to get so information from you. Na and race, and that is an incarnation? I'd also like to know the na of the incarnation….and the appearance of the main body."
"…I'm asking because it's personal information, but why do you want to know?"
"Mmm? The sa reason you asked about the dungeons. It's just to satisfy my intellectual curiosity, nothing more. Of course, I won't speak of it to everyone."
"I can't just get the information I want and say goodbye, so it's fine."
After telling him the na of my incarnation and race, and my occupation, I use the Silver Key to take us to location of my main body.
"Well, well. Interesting. Very interesting."
My main body….it is taking a good look at it while flying around the ever expanding lump of flesh.
"Speaking of which, do you rember your choice? Which face do you believe in?"
"Um…. space-ti, life, death, fate, contracts, condemnation."
"Oh, yeah. You're a greedy guy."
Once again it is circling around, mumbling and organising its thoughts. Let's leave it alone. It will be less confusing to hear after it puts it all together.
After going round and round so more, and poking and prodding with tentacles, it seems to have cald down.
"Hmm. It seems that the life force is strong. Being a zombie before the evolution seems to have an effect. That's why it keeps growing. Conversely, the other aspects have not blood yet."
"How do I get the others to bloom?"
"All I can say is be strong. You don't have the foundation to make the most of them. What about «Space-Ti Magic»?"
"It is still «Spatial Magic» at 54."
"What about «Foresight»?"
"It's 58, so it's coming soon."
"And «Sixth Sense»?"
"Sa as the prior."
"At present, there is no foundation. Death is a bit of mucus. Contracts and condemnation probably won't bloom as it is. …No, no. Is that why you chose to continue as a Neseia? Hmm. It's interesting. I look forward to the future."
"«Spatial Magic», «Sensing Danger» and «Intuition», is it. They're almost there, so I'll give them priority…"
"It's good to do so. Even if you have seeds, they are of no use if you do not have a place to plant them. Now, let's go back."
Using the Silver Key, we co back to the public area, where the old castle is located.
In the end, I feel like I got useful information on both points…. but it seems satisfied, so I won't bring it up.
"So long! Show again when you're stronger."
"Yes, see you again."
I watch it as it flies off sowhere…
Anyway, it's Saturday…. I should concentrate on improving those three skills. These three skills are being pushed a lot, so I'm concerned.
Oops, by the way, I slept after getting «Super-Class Magic Ability». I still have to check it.
«Super-Class Magic Ability».
[Precision Magic Manipulation]
A passive art that reduces MP consumption when using magic, by eliminating waste.
[Cognitive Inhibition]
You leave a lighter impression. It is hard for Residents to rember you, and you appear faint to players.
[Optical Camouflage]
Beco invisible. It is useless against heat sensing and echolocation.
[Anti-Fouling Barrier]
It becos difficult for dirt to adhere.
[Sound Deadening Barrier]
Reduces the sound emitted. asures against auditory detection.
[Deodorant Barrier]
Reduces the odour emitted. asures against olfactory detection.
[Heat-Resistance Barrier]
Resistance to terrain damage caused by heat.
[Cold-Resistance Barrier]
Resistance to terrain damage caused by cold.
[Windbreak Barrier]
Resistance to action inhibition caused by strong winds.
[Waterproof Barrier]
Resistance to action inhibition and wetness caused by water.
There is also [Electric-Resistance Barrier], but it is unrelated to my race.
We've already got [Cognitive Inhibition] and [Optical Camouflage] from light and dark, so I'll put the [Barrier] spells unlocked with «Spatial Magic» on the BBS.
And this is not the only effect of «Super-Class Magic Ability». For , this is more important.
«Spatial Magic»
[Short Jump]
Transfer to any location in your field of view.
It's a short-distance teleport magic!
By limiting the transfer range to within field of view, the spell requires less magic power and the cooldown and cast ti are reduced. Well, for «Spatial Magic», it ans….
It's a magic for surprise attacks, though you will quickly run out of magic power if you use it too much …Teleport, assassinate, retreat. It's going to be very useful in dark areas.
In addition, Atha and the Book of Elder Records have been adapted to «Super-Class Magic Ability».
Now, let's level up until noon. I'll use the weekly quest to increase my experience. I should be able to get three skills into the third tier before noon. The passives might also reach the second.
The hard part is increasing the level of «Spatial Magic». It's slowly being raised by [Inventory Expansion] and so on, but the high MP costs make it hard to aim for. And on top of that, it has no direct attack spells.
Lemonade isn't suitable for recovering from spells that consu a lot of MP at once, so I'll need to drink a lot of potions. I'll do my best while the XP buff is in effect.
The hunting ground is of course the ruins dungeon. Now that I know how to deal with multi-warhead missiles, I'm ready for revenge.
….I'm looking forward to it.
I teleport from the dium to the Empire, and chant the ia ia.
A Byakhee cos down from the sky, holding sothing in his hand.
"Are we travelling?"
"Can you take to the ruins dungeon to the southeast of here?"
"Good. Sit down."
…It's like a trapeze! Dream-like. It is held by Byakhee and has a backrest.
"Just so you know, don't swing it. I won't accept any complaints if you fall."
Well, yeah.
I'll just sit in this nice, solid chair with a backrest and armrests and be carried along gracefully.
Now, ti to fly.
It's completely a matter of mood, but there is a difference between flying by yourself and being carried. Basically, when you are flying, you have to concentrate on the road ahead, but when you are being carried, you have the luxury to look around you. It's like the difference between being a driver or a passenger. Though I can't drive.
"Oh, we'll go faster here."
The mont Byakhee says this, the space in front of him parts and we enter.
Now that we are inside, the flowing background has beco a blur. And it's a bit pale, isn't it? While thinking about that, we have arrived.
"We are there."
"Thank you very much. …What was that?"
"Ah, you still can't do that. Moving through a subspace that is slightly off-axis from the usual ground. While it is possible to travel at high speed, ignoring obstacles and the like, it is impossible to co and go if you don't recognize subspace, and subspace has no air or temperature, so normal life will die if you don't take precautions."
… I thought the golden ad was for space, but is it for subspace? It's hard to imagine space battles in this ga, so that seems more likely.
You'll need golden ad or [Breathing Aid], [Heat Resistance] and [Cold Resistance]. Considering the cost, it is more likely to be magic than ad.
"Soone who can interact with subspace is called a 『Subspace Ability User』. And if they can also co and go inside of it, they are a 『Subspace Navigator』."
"The Tindalos are able to use it?"
"That's right. The top of the list. I'll be going back. See you later."
"Yes, I'll call you again when I feel like it."
"Umu."
I see off Byakhee as it flies away and dive into the dungeon.
After heading down a few floors, I'll start full-scale hunting after using the experience boost ticket. Apparently the effect of the ticket is saddening when it cos to levelling tertiary skills, so best to use it now.
Hmm… The General-Purpose Elimination Type does seem to be a rare enemy. I am not encountering it. I hope it doesn't co, because the experience boost will be wasted, but I'd like to get my revenge. …Well, if I continue to hunt, it might co.
Inside the dungeon I am using «Coordinate Levitation», flying at a speed that #1 can follow. When walking, the rise of «Agility Enhancent» is rather lacking. It might be okay if I were to run, but that's no good RP-wise…If I have a reason to run, in character, I should fly. It's a dungeon, so there's not much chance of being seen, but it's not zero. RP is a bit constraining…
Type I support? Of course, I will play with it alone. It has more guns than the Type II, so it is good for raising skills.
Lizzy has been strengthened a little by playing about with the burial items, but… it's still steel. I'd like to raise the level of her body and relic, but since the enemy is an armoured type there is no gain in magic power from it. It is troubling.
Currently, I could crush so orbs to strengthen them. To be honest, I haven't used them at all, as it's not really a good thing… I can only get 3 or 4 orbs a day, so they are very valuable. But if I were going to buy magic stones for it, I'd still rather crush orbs.
In terms of magical creatures, the northeast cave dungeon is good, but soloing is difficult there and I would like to party up with Alf-san and Ske-san if I were to go.
In terms of damage, there is not much difference between her and #1, so it must be limited to as the summoner. Her body movents and reactions are much better than #1's, so the AI must be independent. Lighter than bones…
