Chapter 201: Bomb Tests and Flying Snake<hr>
Just as I was about to leave, Ix''s search for enemies caught sight of them.
"Warning. Something huge ising towards us at high speed"
Then I hear a vibration and a sound like a person running. I can''t believe it''sing at this time!?
But if it''sing, don''t be shy. I''m going to test my secret weapon.
"The opponent will be a Giant...Ix,e with me"
"Yes, Master"
Ix and I get on Hix and we all head towards the Giant. The Giant noticed us and prepared to intercept us.
But we passed over the Giant and dropped our secret weapon.
The discharge-type bomb I dropped crashed into the ground in front of the Giant and exploded.
Muu...I thought I had aimed for the face, but it was difficult. Down below, the Giant was puffing away with burns on his legs. It''s so human...this guy. Then, Lily asks.
"It''s so powerful...did Takuto make it?"
"That''s right. Isn''t it amazing?"
"Yeah!"
Lily was smiling, when Ix said something outrageous.
"Air resistance calctionplete. Falling speed calctionplete. Falling distance calctionplete. Master, give me the bomb"
"Eh...? Ah, okay"
No way...
Ix sessfully hit the Giant in the face with the bomb. The giant''s face exploded and it was rolling around, holding its face.
"Ix-chan, you''re awesome!"
"Just as I calcted"
Ku...I should be able to do it if I get a feel for it.
The resurrected Giant stomped on the ground, swinging its club and shouting at us.
Give me a fair fight! You coward! I feel like I''m being told.
But there''s yet another bomb...so I test the ignition-type bomb.
This time, it explodes over the Giant''s head. It was difficult...and then Ix said.
"Calction of psed time for explosionplete. Master, give me the bomb"
"...Yes"
That''s all I can say! And Ix dropped it sessfully, but the Giant tried to club the bomb back.
I see...the ignition-type has this kind of weakness...if we were toote, we would have been the ones to get hit by the bomb.
"I failed. I''m sorry. Master"
"You didn''t fail, so don''t apologize. Rather, Im saved because Ix threw the bomb perfectly. Thank you"
I patted Ix''s head and smiled. The power of the bomb is about the same as Explosion, right? With no chanting and no magic, this firepower should be enough. Then Lily seems to run out of patience.
"Takuto! Lily too! Lily wants to do it too!"
Yes, yes...she looks like a child who wants to do fireworks. It''s not that kind of thing, though. I give Lily an discharge-type bomb.
"Throw it as hard as you can"
"Okay! Here we go! Eei!"
Lily threw the bomb, spinning around in a circle like a cannonball. Normally, it would have been extremely difficult to control, but as the bomb flew toward the Giant, the Giant held up his club as a bat and hit the bomb!
Normally, it would have been a home run, but with the added impact of Lily''s power and Giant''s power, the bomb exploded, engulfing Giant the moment it hit.
Lilly for firepower, Ix for hit. Me? I''m the bomb maker.
"I''ve tested the bomb and I''m ready to kill the Giant. Kurogane, Himari, please finish it"
When I said this, Kurogane heard my order and pointed his left arm at the Giant.
The next moment, a stone shot out of Kurogane''s left hand. This is what the Colossus was using earlier. That was stone throwing, wasn''t it?
The Giant swings its club and resists. I guess it''s a good thing I don''t withdraw to defense in this situation. But Kurogane was not naive. He turned his right hand and unleashed a powerful rocket punch.
The Giant was unable to react to the sudden rocket punch after swinging its club so hard and was blown away. But it still gets up. This guy is too tough.
But a shadow approaches from behind the Giant, who is concentrating on Kurogane...Himari cuts off the Giant''s head with a wind de and knocks it down.
Finally, the Giant is dismantled. If it came with meat or something, I''d be shocked...but here''s the result.
<b>Giant Club: Rarity 3 Club Quality E</b>
<b>Weight: 30 Durability: 50 Attack Power: 25</b>
<b>Additional Effect: Physical Destruction</b>
<b>A club held by a Giant. It is made of sturdy wood and specializes in breaking things.</b>
I thought I could get a weapon. And I don''t think I''m going to use this weapon.
I was able to test the bomb and I got the materials for Ix''s weapon, so I decided to return.
Back in Freetia, I headed to the Beastmasters Guild. My goal was to synthetic summon. It didn''t workst time, but I''m sure it will work this time. After all, I can see the monster I''m about to summon.
I summoned Himari and Route in the synthetic summoning room and faced them in the soul corridor.
Aaaah. Can you hear me?
You heard from Hix and Dian, didn''t you? My Lord. This is the first time we''ve spoken
Yes. You both sounded like that
Himari had the voice of a man who sounded unsure. I want to apologize for naming you like a girl.
Route had the voice of a man with dignity.
You''re going to synthetic summon...
"You don''t like it?"
Isn''t it scary not unpleasant?
Maybe that''s natural.
What''s so scary about being strong for the Lord?
Thats...
"You don''t have to say it. I know the feeling. Let''s talk about it..."
I remembered how I met Himari.
"I''ve been thinking about Himari''s encounter with Tsukiyume"
Ah. you remembered it!
Its natural for the Lord. I''m sure you remember how we met, of course
You seem a little anxious.
"Be relieved because I remember it properly. Route was a summon after I lost to Skull Orthros. Didn''t I look pathetic?"
To be honest, you did. But I wasn''t worried because I immediately realized how strong the lord was and how much the Lord cared about us
Did you think so...I was a mess at that time.
Me too. I''m proud of my fight with Astaroth
"Yes. I''m still proud of the battle with Astaroth"
We lost, but we fought as hard as we could. That''s why I''m proud of it. Himari looks at Route.
Route...can we beat that Astaroth?
I don''t know. But you know we can''t do it with how we are now
Himari looks at me.
Yes...Lord. I want to be stronger. I want to help the Lord, Lily-sama and the others
Hu...you''re also a king
Is that so?
I want to be strong for someone else. That''s how kingship begins, right?
Certainly the beginnings of those who became kings may be so.
I see...then Route. I''m going to entrust my power and the will of the king to you. Use my power for the good of all
Let''s leave it to me. I hereby swear that we will work together to help the Lord
Yes. Lord, please synthetic summon
"...Are you sure?"
Yes. My soul...is with the Lord
"Okay. I''ll never forget you both, Himari and Route"
They bothughed.
Synthetic Summon! My lord!
"Synthetic Summon!"
The two returned to the magic stone and were sucked into the magic circle. Then the magic circles ovepped to form a single magic circle, emitting a purple colored light.
And out of the magic circle appeared the wyrm I had seen before.
Name us! My Lord
I have a name. Our adventure will continue to be difficult. I thought of it with the hope that it would illuminate our dark path like a streetlight.
"Stra!"
Stra. We thank you for your good name. Our strength, with the Lord!
The soul corridor is released. I stroke Stra and check the status.<hr>

Now there are only 3 summoned beasts that I can summon.
It had the riding skill. I have to prepare it with Liqueur. So I bought them at the Beastmasters Guild store.
He has the same abilities as Hix, but is bigger, so the price is higher. I can''t help it.
Since I was going out of my way, I took them to the Seek Highway to see how it felt to ride.
The first thing I noticed was that the speed of Liqueur was crazy. It felt as if the scenery was blowing away. I assure you. If it weren''t for the horsemanship skills, I''d probably be unconscious or fall off the horse.
Then there was Stra, who wasn''t running fast, but flying majestically through the air. It''s refreshing. There was a Gray Wolf below us, so we used corrosion breath on it.
When a green gas-like substance was sprayed on the Gray Wolf, it started to suffer and copsed. It looked like a bug that suffers and dies from insecticide.
It seemed to do the same damage as poisonous insecticides, but there was more to it than that. The grass on the ground around it was dying. So the effect of this is to make it wither and rot...I guess the fact that the Gray Wolf is not rotting is a measure to prevent grossness.
Now that I''ve confirmed it, I guess I''m off to the battleship for Ix''s weapon.<hr>
