Day 111-120/Day 119

==Day 119== We passed just outside fortress city [Tridentine] this morning. We don't pay any visit, because up ahead, is four-wing [Falaise Eagle]'s habitat. I've been thinking of creating air-borne reconnaisance corps using these eagles. By putting goblins on top of them, intelligence gathering would be cinch! So I went ahead and made them familiars.

By the time I successfully captured 20-ish eagles, I heard this growingly familiar voice;


 * World's Epic [The Jet-Black Demon Saga]'s subcast Asue has ranked up.


 * Condition '1' [Rank Up] is satisfied, she's awarded [Earth-Crust Thunder-Maul]

I promptly checked upon her, but I found Asue-chan was asleep. By the look of it, she had been fighting dungeon boss all night long. Well, it can't be helped. I guess I'll have to wait one or two hours before contacting her again in order to hear the full story. 

Apparently, Asue-chan ranked up by defeating an imposing boss who dwelled at the lowest layer of dungeon. She ranked up to [Earth Demon], a subspecies of [Earth Lord]. There's a condition to be fulfilled if you're to rank up to a subspecies. It is obtaining a God's favor. Asking which God's protection she was blessed with, she answered [God of Earthquake].

Asue-chan generally hasn't changed. Aside from her stature that is now stand at 4 meters height, I can't quickly find new feature of her appearance. However, since she's now blessed by God's protection, her strength has grown immensely. She also gained some new abilities.

Regarding her height, She's once again matched with five-meter tall Minokichi-kun. About that, Minokichi-kun happily told me their night business now can resume. He's saying that complete with silly little smile creaked by the end of his lips. Honestly, that Minokichi-kun, what a cheerful fellow! Well, I think it's all good. I won't pass this info to others, though...

By the way, Asue-chan now has a true name, [Terra] (kanji reads 'Great Earth Demon'). It seems, Asue-chan true name revealed by obtaining [Earth-Crust Thunder-Maul], just in the same fashion as Minokichi-kun who awaken a true name by obtaining [Great Gleaming Axe].

Uh..., about that, what about me? O Ye Gods, I've obtained numerous skills and unlocked piles of abilities, yet why my true name hasn't revealed? Don't I deserve one? Or is it unnecessary for me to have one so I don't have any? I'm envious of those two. Oh, well...

Travelling in the same group as Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan, Hobgoblin cleric Hobuji and Kobold Leader Shiba-Inu, had also ranked up. Hobuji had ranked up to [Half Saint Lord], while Shiba-Inu had ranked up to [Kobold Warrior].

Just like Asue-chan, Shiba-Inu Kobold Warrior also awaken a true name, [Shiunnosuke] (kanji reads 'He who goes without smoke screen' LOL, I'm not sure). By it's name, he sounds like a man who will speak out his mind, holding nothing back. But I think it's good.

Afterward, I told everyone about the rank ups. One by one, everyone except Dhammi-chan and Avenger, gives their congratulation through the communication cuff.

It is understandable that Avenger doesn't give congratulation to them, he doesn't know them before. But about Dhammi-chan, well, she's frustrated and understandably so. Among four of us the original group, Dhammi-chan is the only one who hasn't experienced her third rank up.

Shadow overcast her beauty. I understand her feeling and want to help her about it. So I asked her, "What's your current level?" She said 89. She needs to reach 100 to experience a rank up, and with where we are now, I think I can help her.

So we went subduing more [Falaise Eagle], turning them into familiars. We managed to up the number to 30. Afterward, we both moved away from mountain trail. I generated [Black Ogres], [Black Trolls], and [Black Fomoires] for Dhammi-chan to kill. We moved away so that we don't harm non-combatant traveling with us. As for the combatants: Redhair, Avenger, and Lords, we let them participate in exp-cheat I arranged for Dhammi-chan.

As for Ouro and Argento, maybe because they're half-human half-ogre, it seems like they have grown enough to start some training. I carefully made their training not too intense so it doesn't obstruct their future growth. But I try my best making the training challenging enough to make them strong still. So here we are, we have the two training for fun, so that they may accustomed to it they will involuntarily training themselves in the future.

Thinking about the balance between having fun and making them strong is unexpectedly tiring. I guess, this is how it feel to be a parent.

As for Oniwaka, maybe because he is least human among the four, a [High Ogre], he has grown bigger than the rest. I think he can start serious training from now on, just not today.

As for Nicola, well, comparing to her siblings, her growth is much slower. She's so small that the thought of training her must be put on hold until, maybe, several years later. But her nature make her so cute anyway, I don't mind at all!

We did combat training from noon to evening. We trained to our hardest so tomorrow we will become stronger than ever before. It's a pity that all giant bodies I generated were killed, but I think it's a necessary sacrifice. Beside, we can eat their remain to feel less wasteful about it. 100 giants are generated and killed. I want to eat all of them, but alas, 40 bodies is my limit.

Thinking about the amount of bodies I've eaten, people must be wondering where it went. The giants are big, my body is just about two meters tall. To tell the truth, I don't have any idea which part of my body those food goes. I'm still puzzled about it.


 * [Ability [Heightened Stamina] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Ultra Recovery] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Demon Slaying] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Physical attack enhancement] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Heavy Blow Dance] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Big Game Slaying] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Armor Collapse] learning complete]


 * [Ability [Luck Reduction] learning complete]

Even after eating 40 giant bodies, only eight abilities were secured. Compared to [Black Ogre], [Apostle-Lord Extinct-variant] sure is slow at acquiring new abilities. I'm slightly irritated because of it.

By the night fall, we are all fatigued. Sweat flows from head to toes, legs weakened they might give out. Thankfully, none of us injured beyond few scratches ('Tis but a scratch... hahaha sorry). None of our wound is life-threatening. Curiously, I feel the same level tiredness as everyone else. Maybe because my recovery abilities can't do anything about fatigue.

About Ouro, Argento, and Oniwaka, they sure move much in almost four hours of their training. But since they move so much they get tired and rounded up by Blacksmith-san and others. They spent the rest of evening just talking, and thankfully none of them suffer any fatigue.

I got this swing of moodiness. I suppose it was caused by using too much magic. The invigorating feeling that rose from the depth of my being is now felt dry, nearly exhausted. Maybe, this is a symptom of [Magic Deficiency Illness]. But I'm perfectly assured, fortunately, I'm still a step before fully developing the illness. My sluggish body and strange drowsiness that is attacking me, I take them as a sign before full magic deficiency illness. I now can relate the feeling suffered by that female magician I met at Giant Fomoire King's mountain.

I suspect the best way to treat this is to drink [Mana Potion] (kanji reads 'Magic Recovery Drug'). So I jerked and grab one.

This is the first time I drank such potion. To summarize the taste, it's bitter! It has the taste that make you think you don't want to drink it too much. But by drinking it, I feel my overal condition improved. This confirm my magic limit, something I've never known before. 

Total giant bodies I've generated today was exactly a hundred. Each body required about equal amount of magic as 50 black skeletons. This means, I can bring out (50 x 100 =) five thousand skeletons before I hit my limit. To be honest, this number surprised me!

However this is a number that can be reached when the sun is out. At night, I can continuously recover my magic. I can say I can generate enough skeletons to wipe out a typical country; of course, only if it's at night.

Today I learned much and felt tired just as much. As I put on a blanket, my consciousness hurriedly fades away.
