Chapter 684: Chapter 684
It was the evening before the decisive battle, during dinner.
"By the way, does Nestirad ever drink alcohol, eat food, or sleep?" Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
In ancient cultures, getting fierce creatures like the Yamata no Orochi drunk and attacking them while they slept was a common strategy.
"Well, there were times when sacrifices were made, but I’ve heard that it never really worked out. Nestirad does occasionally stop its activities, but the cause is unknown. At the very least, we’ve never been able to restrict its actions through our own efforts."
According to what the warden Abigayle had mentioned several times, the spirit beast Nestirad was like a natural disaster.
(He’s been facing off against Nestirad for about 20 years as the fortress’s chief warden. He probably got detailed information from the previous chief warden. There’s likely no mistake in this information.)
Abigayle, who wasn’t even 40 years old yet, was impressive, though perhaps young for a member of the dragonkin, who were said to live for a thousand years.
The companions silently listened to the conversation between Allen and Abigayle.
"Alcohol doesn't work, sacrifices don't work, and although it does rest, we don’t know the cycle or the reason. So, we’ll have to fight it head-on."
(In the end, the strategy is brute force and a full-frontal assault.)
Allen opened his Grimoire and reviewed his progress.
-Holder (All 90 slots):
\*1 of each card for a total of 64, 10 Bird A, 16 Dragon A, a combined total of 90 cards
Allen went over his own stats.
[The 10 places with a [Nest] from a Bird A summon]
(The Blessing of Tsubamen is excellent, but I should keep it to a minimum. I’ll need to exchange more Faith Points with the God of Magic Isiris to get more teleportation destinations in the divine realm, so I don’t need to manage them myself. Having to keep track of the teleportation points while managing the number of cards... It reminds me of my past life.)
Allen organized his cards in preparation for the battle tomorrow.
The [Nests] could teleport even an army of ten thousand at once, making them some of the most useful Special Skills.
Each of the Bird A summons possessed abilities that could overwhelm even the most talented individuals born once in a generation.
However, the number of Bird A summon cards required to place [Nests] also took up valuable space in his holder.
In his past life as Kenichi, Allen had struggled with the limited slots available for saving teleportation points in the games he played.
The blessing of the Bird summons provided Intelligence and Agility, making them very compatible with Allen’s combat style.
But neglecting other stats like Attack, Strength, and Endurance wasn’t an option.
During the month Shea spent in her trial, Allen focused on his growth.
As a result, Allen exchanged 200 billion Faith Points and obtained two Spiritual Power Recovery Rings S.
[New equipment obtained by exchanging 200 billion Faith Points]:
[Summons unlocked in the first cycle of Generation]
[Summons unlocked in the second cycle of Generation]
[Skill Experience needed to Level Up Generation 2]
(There was no new summon unlocked with Generation 2 at first)
[Number of summons unlocked with each cycle of Generation]
(I obtained some strange staff. It looks like the staff a buddhist monk or someone like that would carry.)
Allen looked at the card of the [ - ] A summon, the final creation of the first cycle of Generation.
The [ - ] A summon that looks like a golden staff:
(Does this mean the next S-rank summon beast to join will be a monk? Well, I can’t figure out anything more. Alright, next...)
Allen continued checking his summon beasts in preparation for the battle against Nestirad.
