Chapter 122
"Chance . . . Is it?"
"Yeah . The biggest annoyance in this fight is fighting the enemy while not letting any get away . "
Monsters are still gushing out, though not as vigorous as before .
Continuing to confine them here while our mana keeps decreasing is quite tiresome .
In such a situation, one monster is gathering them all up together while becoming stronger, stopping that monster is absolutely out of question .
"Umm . . . It feels like it's trying to suck me in too though . . . "
Iris said that while looking at the monster that's absorbing other monsters .
Iris's hair is fluttering toward the Void Eater .
" . . . Does it feel like you'll get absorbed?"
"Hnn . Nope, it doesn't feel like that at all . I can sense that it's doing its hardest trying to suck me in though . . . . "
"Figures . That thing isn't strong enough to absorb Iris after all . "
Even if she's transformed into human, Iris is still a dragon .
She's different from lesser dragons that sometimes appear in a dungeon, not many monsters have the capability to absorb her, and if one of those monsters were to appear here, all monsters around the capital would have long been gone .
And this country would probably perish by tomorrow .
"Oh looks like the other guy is mostly done while we were talking . We should make our move too . "
I took a magic stone out of Storage magic .
"Magic stone . . . Would you like to augment something?"
Ruli asked me when she saw that .
Correct .
"Yeah . But before you do the augmenting, careful not to let it get taken away . "
I handed over the magic stone and a paper drawn with a magic circle .
"Let it get taken away . . . ?"
Ruli received the magic stone while looking confused--then she shouts out loud in surprises .

"It's getting pulled by something!"
"It's because the thing that that monster pulls toward it is the magic stones monsters carry inside . "
By the way, I don't know where the magic stone of a dragon that has transformed into a human is located .
Judging from the mana aura, I think the magic stone has lost its stone form and been dispersed throughout her whole body .
The augment completed while we were talking .
"It's finished but . . . What should I do with this?"
"Throw it . "
"Throw . . . You mean to that?"
"Yeah . You can just throw anywhere . "
Hearing that, Ruli holds out the magic stone and throws it to the front .
"Eiii!"
And then the magic stone flew straight to the Void Eater . . . and got absorbed just like that .
"It went and got absorbed . . . Should I make another?"
"No, it's good . If you leave an absorption type monster alone, it will evolve irregularly into an incomprehensible creature . I made that magic stone to fixate the direction of its evolution and make it so it can evolve stably . "
I observe the monster after saying that .
Looks like it's evolving well .
Good good . Eat a lot and grow big .
"You don't get anything good if you beat that kind of monster the normal way . But you can obtain some good stuff if you stabilize it like that . . . . That's better if we're going to beat it anyway right?"
Also, fighting it will be fun .
Beating a monster that has evolved into something weird and can't even fight properly is boring .
"Ah, we're doing this under the assumption that it will be defeated aren't we . . . . "
"But of course . . . . And on that note, let's add some more . "
I took out numerous low quality magic stones that had no use and threw it all to the Void Eater .
The Void Eater took every piece of the magic stones and went on to evolve .
And two minutes after it showed up .
The Void Eater stopped its absorption, and began to solidify into a form .
Thanks to our magic stone help, it's evolved quite well done .
This looks quite promising .
