‘Popo!’
‘Goh!’
They raise their voices, and the hurricane disappears. The large quantity of rocks and sand that was swept up is gathered by Enki in a single spot and rains down. And then something small flies this way.
It’s a hundred golem cores and small magic stones from this battle, or I guess trampling is more appropriate. And the drops from the Stone Golem.
“It’s amazing how the drops are unharmed after being in that tempest.”
‘Popoh!’
Enril raises its voice proudly. Then a Giant Stone Golem appears, but they create another hurricane from a distance and it goes down. Pretty merciless.
【Level up】
【Leveled up from fifty-two to ninety-four】
Hm, seven more to go.
I guess these things aren’t enough to get me past level one hundred, even with the low level bonus.
As I think about what they can and can’t do, and the energy problem of Level Gacha, the two golems return with the dropped items. But they don’t look so good.
‘Gogo~…’
‘Popo…’
“Hn, what is it?”
“Shouta, are they out of magic energy?”
“That must be it. They used that large scale power. It makes sense for them to be empty.”
Maki and Ayane must be right.
Their magic energy is only sixteen hundred. Normally that would be enough, but there’s no way they wouldn’t be tired after using that technique that’s more like magic than magic.
“All right you two, come here and recharge.”
I touch Enki’s core directly, place my other hand on Enril’s stomach, and send magic energy. Is this the effect of Charge? I feel like I’m sending less magic energy despite sending it to both at the same time. I can’t see how much I have left, so I don’t know exactly how much less I’m spending, but I feel like I’m better at handing it.
Well, I have twelve thousand, so it wouldn’t hurt that much even if I spent around three thousand.
“There’s no way an attack on that scale is fuel efficient.”
“Yes, and I do not think it will be as effective as it can be if it is not used in a wide area. It is a joint spell that is used in a wide area with sand. It really is strong, but I do not think it can be used somewhere such as the third floor, where there are trees all over.”
“It would be hard for wind to pass through a sea of trees like that.”
“But I feel like in wide open spaces, Enril will do great even without Wind Magic.”
I heard them express their thoughts about how to use that hurricane while fully charging the cores.
“All done. It’s a bit of a waste, but take Sand Control Lv3, Enki.”
‘Gogo!’
The skill is absorbed into its core, and I see it’s now Sand Control LvMAX. Then I try something I’ve been meaning to do.
“Enki and Enril, stay still for a bit.”
‘Goh?’
‘Popo.’
“Compression II.”
‘Searching for applicable skills.’
‘Applicable skills confirmed.’
‘Compressing applicable skills…’
‘Compression of applicable skill successful.’
‘Compressed UR skill Sand Control LvMAX into SUR skill Iron Sand Control Lv1.’
‘Compression of applicable skill successful.’
‘Compressed UR skill Duststorm Control LvMAX into SUR skill Storm Control Lv1.’
“Ooh…!”
I thought there might be a change, but they actually evolved. I really need to watch how they do.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
I want to look into the new evolved skills, but the girls stop me.
I guess we need to report to Miki about the special goblin boss. And since they’ve already told her our estimated time of arrival, we can’t stand around for too long.
“I checked if there was anything left undone, but I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I wanted to create Enril in the dungeon, and it didn’t feel right to leave Enki’s skill at level eight, but thanks for reminding me.”
Well, the idea was to just gather sand, but we took the time to take down a rare and a rare II. I should be grateful for that.
Enki and Enril turn small, so Enki is in my arms and Enril on my shoulder, and we run at a half jog until we’re out of the dungeon.
I feel like I attract some strange looks along the way, but when we open the door, a few employees are waiting…
“Welcome back.”
“Eh, ah, branch manager… Sorry we’re a little late.”
I say, and her expression loosens.
Other adventurers are looking at us from further away, so what’s going on…
“Don’t worry. They told me you might be here an hour early or late.”
Whoa, so they predicted I’d take a detour.
But what is this weird feeling? I’m antsy.
“It is no exaggeration to say what you accomplished was the biggest discovery since the discovery of skill orbs. The number of adventurers visiting the beginner dungeon has gone up dramatically in the last two days. Aside from the third and fifth floors where goblins don’t appear, all floors are more active than usual.
As the message said, enemies are weaker and drop rates are higher. The president of the association of the first area of Japan, and all branch managers of the first area have approved of what we talked about.”
“…What we talked about?”
“Amachi, you undauntedly braved through unexplored wilderness, and as a show of respect for your passion in opening new paths… You have been promoted to A+ rank!”
“Oooh!!!”
I take a shining golden A+ rank from the branch manager.
I guess I ranked up.
Join my patreon to support me and read ahead.
Thanks for the treat.
Ehehe. Ranking up is literally the least important things he has done.
Translation: more like magic than magic. -> more like sorcery than magic.
