[Day 3]
Today in the morning I began to fuse the bees, which was not hard.
[Giant Bee (F-Grade)] + [Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] = [Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)]
[Giant Bee (F-Grade)] + [Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] = [Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)]
[Giant Bee (F-Grade)] + [Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] = [Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)]
[Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] + [Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] + [Golden-Eyed Giant Queen Bee BOSS (F-Grade)] = [Golden-Eyed Black Giant Queen Bee BOSS (E-Grade)]
[You exchanged 4000 Gold!]
And that\'s that!
It became E-Grade to boot, and it is packing a punch.
Grades in Monster Pets are similar to Stars in Summons, but give way fewer bonuses in stats though… Nonetheless, they are still good and what I should aim for. I believe their Grade might increase if I keep breaking their level cap.
Oh, I completed daily tasks yesterday too, but there is no new main task yet…
For now, we decided to dive into the dungeons, thanks to having three Monster Pets now in the team, things went even smoother than before.
Cuco used its shadow poisonous claws to slash enemies and poison them, coupled with his outstanding agility makes them deadly.
The golden venomous viper BOSS used its long tail to entangle any enemy and then its sharp fangs to bite them and inflict a poison damage attack.
And the Queen Bee unleashed an army of tiny bees that died after a few minutes of being born and didn\'t give EXP or anything, but were so easy to deceive…
In the end, I didn\'t recruit any monster in the Skill Points Dungeon, I would be wasting like a ton of Skill Points I could get by just killing them instead.
Oh, and then we went to the EXP Dungeon, and my level increased once more, although it increased once more before this as well.
Ding!
[Your Level has increased to Level 17!]
[Your Level has increased to Level 18!]
Ding!
[The [Mana Blast (F)] Skill has Ranked Up to [Mana Bullet Blast (E)]!]
[Mana Bullet Blast (E)]
After learning more about mana manipulation, you can easily shape pure Null-Attribute Mana into fist-sized bullets that explode when they enter into contact with a foe, dealing a small amount of Magic Damage.
…
And after repeatedly using Skills, Mana Blast Ranked up.
Oh?
Ding!
[The [Apprentice Sorcerer (F)] Skill has Ranked Up to [Beginner Sorcerer (E)]!]
[Beginner Sorcerer (E)]
As someone who has learned more about their inner talent of magic and has attained the ability to shape their internal mana powers, you have become a Beginner Sorcerer, a step further into becoming a True Sorcerer.
This skill enhances your ability to manipulate Mana more swiftly.
…
Interesting, Apprentice Sorcerer has also ranked up, this means I have taken hold of a greater knowledge over magic? Amazing.
Whew, to think that two days ago I was just writing novels… Now magic is real, I am summoning the characters of my novel and I\'m also taming monsters…
And even more, I am developing as a sorcerer to boot.
I am also using the two Jewel Skills to create small grenade-like jewels, when I throw them at a foe, they immediately shatter and generate fire and winds, dealing damage, although a single one can\'t take down a monster of the Dungeons, it can be a good distraction… maybe if I had one that could produce Light, I could make grenades that generated light, blinding enemies.
Anyways, through our Dungeon exploration of today, we also discovered two incredibly rare things, treasure chests.
The first one contained an [Mithril Ingot (E)] and some more Gold, and the other had a [Ice Heart Ring (E)], an accessory item!
I can use the Ingot to finally upgrade my bat, and the Ice Heart Ring was an interesting item, despite being E-Grade.
[Ice Heart Ring (E-Grade)]
A Magic Ring made by using a small Ice Heart Jewel, harvested from the core of an Ice Fairy.
[Durability: 50/50]
[Magic Conductivity: 100]
[Bonus Dexterity: 50]
[Traits: [Evolving Accessory (E)], [Automatic Repair (E)], [Ice Fairy Blessing (E)]
[Ice Fairy Blessing (E)]
Grants Immunity to Cold Temperatures, while reducing 10% of Damage from Ice Attribute Magic or Physical Attacks.
…
As you can see, this Ring is pretty interesting, as long as I have it equipped, I am immune to cold temperatures… meaning that I could go naked into the snow and absolutely nothing would happen to me… Wait, that\'s quite overpowered in a way.
But I suppose Cold Temperatures and Ice Attribute are treated differently, as it doesn\'t grant me immunity to ice as it is, but it reduces damage taken from it by 10%, quite nice.
Anyways, time to upgrade my damn baseball bat, which is releasing an evil aura more than before… Let\'s check its stats one last time.
…
[Accursed Metallic Baseball Bat (F-Grade)]
[Durability: 146/146]
[Attack Power: 162]
[Magic Conductivity: 68]
[Weapon Speed: 112]
[Traits: [Cursed Weapon (F)], [Evolving Weapon (F)], [Automatic Repair (F)], [Slaughter Healing (F)]
…
It has grown in stats as it killed more innocent monsters.
And now…
Ding!
[Upgrade [Accursed Metallic Baseball Bat (F-Grade)] using the [Mithril Ingot (E)] ad 3000 Gold?]
<Yes> <No>
I tap into the "Yes" button as the ingot suddenly just jumps into the bat and fuses with it, alongside that, several gold coins come out of the system window and fuse with the bat too.
FLASH!
The weapon begins to change shape, as its handle becomes more refined, and its upper part becomes… swollen?
Wait… this is…
Ding!
[Upgrade success!]
[Cursed Mithril Morning Star (E-Grade)]
[Durability: 200/200]
[Attack Power: 215]
[Magic Conductivity: 100]
[Weapon Speed: 135]
[Traits: [Cursed Weapon (E)], [Evolving Weapon (E)], [Automatic Repair (E)], [Slaughter Healing (E)], [Mana Conductivity (E)] (New!), [Evil-Slaying Smite (E)] (New!)
Oh?!
A beautiful silver morning star greeted me. It\'s the version without the chains though, and I think it is a bit larger than the bat, and the spikes look sharp as hell too.
Way better than a bat, I would say!
And its stats got increased a ton, additionally, it even got two new Traits to boot.
I know what Mana Conductivity does but… Evil-Slaying Smite?
[Evil-Slaying Smite (E)]
Infuse Mana into your weapon and unleash a powerful smite into your foe, dealing 20% additional damage to Monsters and Evildoers.
…
That\'s better than I thought it would be…
