Chapter 1-23. Reizen Status

Reizen scales were shining like new armor.

His body became a little bigger, and unlike the rock fish I mentioned earlier, it turned into a natural fish scales.

Apparently, this race is called "ShieldRock".

What kind of race is it?

===============

-ShieldRock-

A fish whose scales are as hard as a shield. Its value is ridiculously expensive and is essential for high-end armor.

The silver scales shine in the river, and it is believed that ShieldRock represents the magnitude of its existence by its light intensity.

===============

Originally it seems to be a race with silver scales.

I don't hate the craftsmans trying to incorporate armor creation using fish scales.

However, He became targeted species just like me.

With that defensive power, most enemies attack can be repelled ...

By the way, the evolved Reizen status looks like this.

===============

Name: Reizen

Race: ShieldRock

LV: 1/20

HP: 45/45

MP: 5/30

Attack power: 15

Defense: 200

Magical power: 25

Agility: 16

-Special skills-

[Voice of the earth] [Protection of the earth]

-Skill-

[Partial Body Strengthening (explosive)] [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)] [Absorption] [Rock Gun] [Luminous] [Barrier] [Breach]

-Resistance-

[Loneliness] [Dazzle]

===============

The newly acquired skills are "Luminous", "Barrier", and "Breach".

"Dazzle" was added to the resistance.

I know what it is because I have "Luminous" and "Dazzle", but ... I'm worried about "Barrier" and "Breach".

I decided to have him tell me about these skills.

===============

-Barrier-

Develop a barrier around you. The defense performance varies depending on the amount of MP you put into it.

===============

-Breach-

You can destroy the opponent's barrier. To destroy it, you must exceed the total MP of the opponent's barrier. If successful, the opponent can only create a barrier that exceeds the MP of the barrier created earlier.

===============

Putting the two skills together, they become a defense-specific and defense-breaker.

However, "Breach" seems to have a little downside to him.

He who have low MP may not be able to use it now.

However, once you master how to use it, you can break the opponent's defense skills and make a one-sided attack.

It will be difficult to develop the barrier twice.

If you want to defend yourself, you will put in a certain amount of MP at the first barrier ... Well, the problem is your Mp is enough to break it.

He wanted to try the skill, but he gave up this time because he only had 5 MP.

It seems that ShieldRock tends not to recover MP even if he eats their prey.

"Reizen. Didn't you want to combine "Partial Body Strengthening (explosive)" and "Rock Gun"?"

"Oh, about that... I'm putting it on hold once because I think I'll get better skills. It feels like, if I combine them, there is probability the explosion effect would be gone right?"

Yeah, I think so too.

You can acquire this much skill by evolution.

You can get a strong skill by synthesize it.

This time I also put the skill on hold.

The ability of Clay Carp was just subtle, but ... well, I wonder if the resistance to "Pollution" is quite high.

If there is someone who attacks have that attribute, I want to keep this in the resistance skill.

"Ouren-Big bro! Let's hunt more and evolve steadily!"

"Ah, you are right ... errr hmm? Where are the other fish?"

"……eh!?"

When I checked the surroundings, I found that none of the fish floated around.

Apparently, the ability of incense was canceled by defeating Bedlock.

Now I can't even see the shadow of the other fish.

Reizen disappointed when he noticed that.

I don't know how it feels, but I was a little relieved.

That mean I can take care of him longer.

I will go to the ground when the level of Clay Carp reaches MAX.

That time will come in the near future.

"Well, let's do it slowly, shall we?"

"Yes ... Hnghhhh ~! Raise the level quickly and go ashore with you, Big-bro!"

"... Don't resent me if I go ashor first okay?"

"At that time, I will do my best to evolve and chase after you, so prepare yourslef!"

"It ’s your promise, right?"

"Of course!"

Yes. It seems that he decided his final evolution path was a turtle or something that didn't make him motivated, but now he is full of motivation.

I just suggested a slightly cool ideal image ... well, I think that is fine?

I want he to devote himself to getting closer to his ideal goal.

Besides, he told me that he would chase after me even if I went first, and this seems to be okay.

I'm glad to meet a good partner.

After making a light promise, I decided to look for a fish that had escaped somewhere.

First of all, I have to evolve Reizen.

His MP doesn't recover even if he eat a prey. He can't fight in a row in this case.

While doing that, let's say I also earn experience points properly.

◆

-After several hours-

It was good to subdue Bedlock and release the fish, but there are still not much fish around here.

However, it was not completely deserted, and we encountered it once every tens of minutes and was sure to finish it.

They was being eaten by Bedrock up to that point.

It is no wonder that the number of fish in this area decreases.

I thought that there were almost no fish in the downstream, so I went upstream, but there were fewer than I expected.

Bedlock ... The one who prey our source of experience points is already hunted.

All the hunted fish are handed over to Reizen.

For the time being, I want him to evolve as soon as possible.

By the way, the status of Reizen is like this now.

===============

Name: Reizen

Race: ShieldRock

LV: 11/20

HP: 95/95

MP: 43/87

Attack power: 31

Defense: 250

Magical power: 38

Agility: 29

Special skills-

[Voice of the earth] [Protection of the earth]

-Skill-

[Partial Body Strengthening (explosive)] [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)] [Absorption] [Rock Gun] [Luminous] [Barrier] [Breach]

-Resistance-

[Loneliness] [Dazzle]

===============

He is really Tanky.

Even in the early level alone, he had 200 defenses.

It is natural that the defense power increases as the level goes up, but it is still a nonstandard defense power.

I only have 54 point of defense power.

You can see how much this guy is ghostly.

Maybe I can't win even if I try to fight Reizen.

I can't really win if I don't have [Herculean Jaw], and this one has a long-range attack.

This boy is scary.

"Hmm, even if we defeated Bedlock, there aren't many fish in the river here."

"It looks like. It will take time to raise your level!"

"But is that okay? I just level up earlier. "

"it's fine. Isn't your race that eats and doesn't recover MP? "

"Well, you are right ..."

You see. Listen to what your seniors say for the time being.

This has also helped me and Reizen to stay together as long as possible.

"Aah! Prerey spotted, Ouren-Big bro!"

"Yeah! let's go!"

We hunted all the fish we saw that day, but we couldn't make him evolve that day.

Well, let's do it slowly and patiently.
