Chapter 92
"Summoning . . . monster? Is such a thing possible?"
"Yeah . But it has many requirements and is a relatively delicate technique, so I don't recommend doing one yourself . If it's small monsters then you should be alright, but big ones are dangerous . "
A slight mistake during the monster summoning and it will fail .
You're still better off if it ends up with no monster coming out .
If you're unlucky, a monster that's far stronger than the intended one might appear .
There were times where I abused the phenomenon and summoned strong monsters to be my opponents .
They were reasonably strong, but they were nothing compared to monsters that got stronger naturally, so I stopped doing it halfway .
"You don't to have to worry about it, I'm not gonna summon a monster with bigger-than 60cm magic stone if I can help it!"
"If it's just for a 60cm monster, even if there was an accident, the one coming out would only be a 75cm one, I'm sure we can manage somehow . "
"I don't think we can though . . . . "
We're walking toward the dungeon while having that conversation .
I've marked places that looked usable when we were exploring the dungeon before .
◇
After about 10 minutes .
"Let's get to floor 17 for now . "
We parted with the principal and this was the first thing I uttered when we went inside the dungeon .
"Your 『for now』 standard is weird!"
"17, isn't that a floor where no one has set foot into presently!"
" . . . Was floor 17 really that difficult? Gaia . . . My old acquaintance told me that floor 654 was lacking . . . "
Iris's remark seemed to be quite a bit less fervent than the two's .
Iris will die for certain if she gets onto floor 654 though .
Even for the current me, the most I can do is probably returning alive .
"The monsters there are weaker than demons, I don't think you'll have any problem . "
"The standard . . . "
"Well, you won't really get it just by talking . Let's dive in for now . "
I took the lead of the party as I said that .
--And after about an hour .
"We're on floor 17 now . "
"Huh? . . . I can, beat them?"
Alma who's walking while killing monsters with her bow spoke anticlimactically .
Ruli is acting as Alma support, but it appears she has no problem at all either .
Floor 17 is nothing once you've trained properly .
Of course, you should always be on your guard even if it's on floor 1 .
" . . . Floor 17 is unexpectedly hard isn't it . . . I'd have beaten them if only I could hit them . . . .
On the other hand, Iris was unable to demonstrate her power worse than imagined .
She has power, but her combat technique in human body is even worse than an amateur .
I've taught her the basic of swordsmanship at the very least, but it seems she lacks the tact .
I should teach her these things later .
Since casualties will surely appear if I let her have a mock battle with other students .
"Which means, let's begins . Ruli, engrave this magic circle on this magic stone . "
I hand over a small magic stone to Ruli .
"I understand!"
It isn't possible to produce a monster out of nothing .
You summon them by using a magic stone as the core .
Ruli had already gotten used to making magic tools, she quickly finished the augmenting .
I thrust that into the ground .
This place is ideal for summoning with its mana flow and terrains .
"Alright . Let's get away a bit, a monster will appear from there . "
"Eh! It's coming already!?"
Alma was surprised .
"Yeah . There's no special procedure for summoning a 60cm class monster . The most difficult part is the quantity of mana needed for the summoning . "
Monster summoning demands a huge amount of mana .
However, we have a dragon who has an enormous amount of mana in our party now .
"So, Iris, put your mana into this thing . . . . Do it little by little since you'll cause an accident if you put too much . "
"I understand! Little by little right!"
Iris put her hand on the magic stone as she said that .
