BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107 - Possessed Ghost House
-----
"Amazing… You really just made the entire house into an Undead?!" asked Kireina in surprise.
"This is quite amusing, indeed…" said Katrina. She said she was surprised but she was expressionless.
"Will it be able to rank up?" wondered Anna.
"Yes, I just checked it and it has a Status and everything… Though the problem now will be to bring it out and make it kill things, maybe we can bring it with us into the Daily Dungeons we will get into later. I got some tickets for it," I said.
"Yaaay! Easy EXP!" said Vudia.
"Daily Dungeons are nice, we can get some decent powerup from it," said Ervas.
"What\'s a daily dungeon?" asked Aqua.
"I would assume it is a dungeon that you use to enter daily…" said Wagyu.
"Yeah, we used to go there the first week before the apocalypse. But it got sealed now. However, there are special tickets that sometimes show up that let me enter again. They are special dungeons where EXP, Gold, and Skill Points can be acquired with a lot of ease… I think there is also a Hero Feather Dungeon too now," I said.
"Oooh… Sounds nice! I want to practice my martial arts a bit! Beating some punks will work!" said Aqua.
However, before that, I decided to inspect a few other things-
"OOOOOHHHH…!"
The phantasmal house has risen! I decided to call her Annabelle... And she interrumpted my thoughts with that phantasmal groan.
Seriously, I don\'t know why I never see Necromancers raising their own phantasmal house or castle, what a waste of true potential!
I will probably bring it out and let it devour the debris of destroyed houses, and probably absorb any wandering souls (as there are many now that so many beings are dying constantly).
When I approached the house, it quickly noticed me and opened the door as if happy to see me, which was quite cute. It even opened the windows as if trying to see me…
We tried making it fly using Ervas Levitate Spell and it worked, so, for now, we left it practicing flight in the meantime, because that giant thing definitely can\'t walk in the ground, it will have to fly around to move.
I checked her stats and found that she was strong right off the bat… Even at her level.
…
[Name: [Annabelle]
[Race: [Possessed Ghost House]
[Monster Grade: [A-Rank]
[Element(s): [Undead], [Phantom], [Material]
[Level: [1/10]

[Dexterity: [400]
[Skills]

[Enhanced Paranormal Senses (B)]
[Material Assimilation (C)]
[Housework (C)]
[Cooking (C)]
…
Monsters\' grades mean the amount of quality and talent they have, I guess, it increases as they level up, but there are cases such as Annabelle who is born with a high grade despite being level 1. This also means that it will develop fast ad increase its stats even more as it levels up.
Although, as my army of allies increase, there is always this bothersome thing about breaking their level cap manually…
"Gaia, is there an option to open level caps automatically?" I asked.
"Oh… No, there isn\'t… But you can leave the work to me, and I will do it automatically. Of course, I won\'t waste resources in monsters that are not active with you, such as the Undead you leave in the graveyard…" she said.
"I see, that would be great, thanks," I said.
"No problem, guardian." Said Gaia politely.
After that, I decided to go see the egg that had emerged in the Monster Hatchery… Yes, that one from before… And there is also a new one.
As I left Cuco and the other monsters inside the place, a new egg emerged, it looked exactly like the other.
And the previous egg already had cracks, there was something inside trying to get out.
The egg was slowly cracking, as it was resting above the straw nest…
CRACK… CRACK!
Suddenly, a few eggshells flew out as a little… reptilian head emerged.
The egg quickly shattered into pieces as the little creature inside greeted us.
It was… a purple-scaled snake similar to my Viper Tamed Monster, but it had two pairs of strong limbs as well, slowly trying to walk with them.
Its scales were smooth and nice to caress, and it had a third crimson-red eye in the middle of its forehead.
I glanced at Viper, who seemed nervous…
"Did you laid this?" I asked her.
"…"
It couldn\'t talk but it glanced at the baby quadruped snake with a bit of concern… Maybe it did? Or not?
Well, the little creature groaned at me cutely, so I petted it and checked the status. It seemed to be a she, so I named her Apophis.
…
[Name: [Apophis]
[Race: [Venomous Viper Wyrm]
[Monster Grade: [A-Rank]
[Element(s): [Poison], [Dark], [Dragon]
[Level: [1/10]
[Vitality: [2.000/2.000]
[Mana: [12.000/12.000]
[Strength: [2.500]
[Magic: [3.000]
[Dexterity: [2.000]
[Skills]
[Dragon Scales (B)]
[Poisonous Dragon Breath (B)]
[Venomous Fangs (C)]
[Venomous Claws (C)]
…
Wait, this little thing is a Wyrm?! A lesser dragon sort of deal… Meaning that it might become even stronger as it evolves into a True Poison Dragon, perhaps… And it is also A-Rank on its Grade… Amazing, it will surely grow stronger.
I guess the Monster Hatchery is like a monster factory… Well, I wonder what the next egg hatch into will now…
For now, I decided to leave Apophis here to level up passively a little bit, while I went to assess other issues, such as inspecting the valuable items we got yesterday.
After killing hundreds of monsters, the pile of loot we got was utterly ridiculous.
Although I consumed the Soul Spheres and Ability Spheres, there were still a lot of consumable items, such as potions of all types, and equipment, such as armor, accessories, weapons, and more.
There were literally hundreds of items, so we will have to sort everything out today and see what we can do with it. Remember that I can only equip three things, so I will mostly ask Anna to fuse over all the equipment I am interested in over my own equipment while leaving the other to… I don\'t know.
Oh right, maybe I should gift it to Javier and his group, so they are well equipped? After all, those will be items I won\'t use. And even after fully equipping them all, there will still be a lot of leftovers.
Sadly I cannot fuse them all into my equipment endlessly, Anna said that the limit was around 4 items to fuse over another, and when it evolves and the item grade increases, you can no longer fuse it with items that are a few ranks below, so after that, all these items won\'t be capable of being fused over my equipment.
Tamed monsters don\'t equip items, only summons, but summons come with their own unique equipment that evolves with them as they progress, and they cannot equip "player" items either.
"There\'s so much… Uegh…" sighed Vudia.
"Let\'s get to work, Vudia, we have to look for the best equipment to fuse over the equipment of Master!" said Anna, she seemed inspired to look for the most fitting and best ones, so the pile of items began to be slowly analyzed in detail by everyone\'s combined efforts.
As I continued to check for the right items, I separated the equipment from consumable items and found that there were dozens of the same types of concoctions and potions.
Now that I wonder that, I really lack a healing skill to heal others… so I guess these ones will go to the "bank" of consumable items for the use of others in the future…
