“The collection is done, master.”
“Good job.”
“Eh? Eh?”
It sounds like Kasumi can’t follow what happened. A hundred monsters were hunted, a rare was spawned, and then a rare II. This process is over, but she still seems lost. I guess from her point of view, Ayane exterminated monsters with a big spell, a rare monster spawned, and after I sniped it from a super long distance, a rare II spawned. And then Aira showed up carrying a lot of items.
“We got Duststorm Control one and three. The Giant Rock Golem’s skills are nice, but there’s no point in hunting a powered up one. Let’s just keep hunting.”
“Very well.”
“Let’s take a break. Over here, Kasumi.”
“Y-yes…”
The sandy area looks a lot different after being engulfed in water. The Ocean Magic calls forth an ocean, as its name implies, and it’s pretty large scale too. I’m sure its scale is higher than level ten Water Magic or Elemental Magic.
“Hau, darling, I think I got a little carried away. Will monsters spawn in this state?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t think it would change so drastically either, but I wanted to try it. Don’t worry about it.”
“Yes!”
I hug Ayane and pat her.
Broken trees will respawn in a few days in the dungeon, so I assume the sandy area engulfed in water will also be repaired… But will golems spawn? Or do they not respawn without the sand that shapes them?
I asked the dungeon core of 1086 if it’s possible to cause environmental changes with administrator rights, but the response wasn’t clear. That’s why I wanted to see what would happen if we changed the environment ourselves. If there’s a change here, fluff bugs might not spawn if the trees in the Heart Dungeon are burned down, and fish monsters might not spawn in 1086 if all the water is evaporated.
Well, the latter is one thing, but there would be a big outcry if I tried the former.
As I think about that, there’s a change in the marsh in front of me. The mud moves on its own all over the place, and takes humanoid form. It looks like golems are forming, but since the sand they need sucked up a lot of water and turned to mud, these golems are like mud dolls.

“Ooh…!?”
It’s a different monster I didn’t know about.
There’s no sand for them to hide either, so rather than laying hidden in the sand, they’re just standing. That means I can see them all without using the map or Presence Detection.
There are about a hundred mud golems, which looks pretty weird and gives me a strange sense of fear.
“A new monster!”
“You discovered it, Ayane!”
“Hau~. Darling~!”
I pat Ayane’s head.
There were two options, either monsters didn’t spawn, or they spawned like normal. I didn’t expect the environment to change monsters. This is a great find!
Still, their levels are on the high side, but they have no skills… That’s too bad, but let’s see how the rare changes.
“Maki.”
“Yes. We started recording the moment they appeared.”
“You’re the best, to say the least.”
“Thank you. And as far as I know, this monster is completely new.”
“Really? That’s exciting…!”
I also pat Maki’s head, and Aki raises her head after tapping furiously on the tablet.
“I’m done copying their stats, you can take them down.”
“Got it.”
After checking the map, I see there are a hundred sixteen mud golems on the former sandy area. It’s the same number as the regular golems, so all of them changed.
It looks like we can take them all out with another large scale attack. But I feel reluctant about having Aira run on this mud. Also, will other monsters appear if the environment is changed again?
Okay, let’s cause another tsunami and sink this place completely.
“Fire another one, Ayane. Seren, support Ayane.”
“Yes!”
‘~~!’
Ocean Magic is used again, and the mud dolls are swallowed and turn to smoke. Seren’s skill interferes not just with the mud, but also Ayane’s magic, drawing the mud golems to one place and increasing the range and power of the tidal wave a lot.
As a result, the golem spawn area is flooded. This tilts the balance from mud to water, and the former sandy area has been turned into a big pond.
“Will another monster spawn now…”
“Master, I believe if it does, it will be in the rocky mountain in the center again.”
“Yes. Let’s get a closer look. Ayane.”
“Yes. Sea Part!”
There’s a short distance from where we’re standing to the rocky area, but parting the sea reveals the ground.
The parted sea is less than two meters deep, but swimming would be a bother and freezing it would make it harder to cross. Especially for Enki. We cross the sea, and reach the mountain just as the monster is emerging from the smoke.

It looks like a Stone Golem that was turned into mud, and its stats are close to a Giant Stone Golem. But what catches my eye is the two new skills.
This is good… Very good!
