Legend

Ray and Seto are stripping the material of monsters obtained in the dungeon and absorbing demonic stones. But so far, only two skills have been acquired: Ray's Lv.2 for Flying Slash and Seto's Lv.2 for Water Polo.

And the next thing Ray took out of Mystering...

"Auga, huh? According to Elaine's story, it's bigger than a normal individual, but it's not even a rare species."

It is the corpse of an orga nearly 5 m tall that is spreading in front of Ray and Seto. It would be better than 5m in size if it were, but it would look smaller because its head is cut off at a death size. Or because you're lying on the ground different from when you face it directly.

"In the end, this size doesn't change the difficulty of stripping the material."

Exhale, first cutting off the right ear, which is the crusade proof site, and then looking for an orga item in the textbook.

"The crusade proof site must have met with the right ear.... Yeah, no problem. When it comes to peelable materials, the skin can be used all the way for protective equipment. Well, can chest muscles be used as alchemy material?... Seto?

"Gru......"

Ray grins at the sight of Seto, who unfortunately drips his neck like he wants to eat.

"Right, so I'll keep the aug meat without selling it"

"Grr!"

Seto rings joyfully at that one word out of Ray's mouth. Anyway, I'm having trouble with the money. Instead, I get two pieces of light gold as a reward for Elaine's escort, so I don't have to sell the material.

I'm going to go ahead and read the textbook to see how Seto looks happy.

"Oh, will hand nails be the ingredient of medicine? This is no problem."

Whimpering, peeling and saving nails from the left and severed right hand of the auga.

"And that's the gut.... No, skinning first before that. According to the textbook, it's quite good as a protective material."

Then I hang it for about 30 minutes and peel off the auga.

You've just gotten used to stripping the material so many times, there's no such thing as the first time you stripped the material from the water bear already in that hand, and you're smoothly peeling it from the orga. As for this neighborhood, I guess it's a big thing Elk taught me when we raided the Oak settlement.

"Uh, so the gut... the liver is on the pill, the lungs are on the alchemy material, oh, and is it usable when the bone is forged?... Bones, hey. No, I've been through all this, and I think you should do it."

Consider the hassle of cutting bones and meat from nearly 5m orga......

"Do you want to put it behind you for now? Keep it in the mysteries and it won't lose its freshness."

That's what I came to the conclusion.

"I took most of the material I could take, so it's the last stone of the demon."

Remove the demon stone from the heart. Exactly like a giant orga, its demonic stone had quite a size.

"... well. Guess which one uses this demon stone. As it stands, Seto and Death Size both remember skills one at a time."

"Gru."

I agree, Seto nodding in the wind. Check the rest of the monsters in the mistering as you see how it goes.

"What's left are Sprigan and Emerald Wolf? There's just a good number of Emerald Wolves, so there's no need to split them up. Then I guess it would be nice to split one organ at a time and one sprigan at a time.... What do we do?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Seto tilting his neck at Ray's question. I guess it doesn't matter either because there is no guarantee that you will definitely remember your skills even if you absorb one of the demon stones into Ceto or Death Size. Having so decided, Ray makes the decision almost intuitively.

"So Death Size is the Demon Stone of Auga, and Seto is the Demon Stone of Sprigan. Do you mind?

"Gru!"

Naturally, Seto just rings and agrees. Watching how it goes, Ray throws the Orga Demon Stone he had into the sky, flashing in a death-size, transverse giraffe.

The demon stone cut into two pieces in the air disappeared as if it were Kasumi...

[Death Size mastered 'Power Slash Lv.1' skills]

Announcements echo in the back of my brain.

"Is that a power slash? From the name, it doesn't seem like a long-range move like a flying slash... now, what kind of performance?

Ray approaching a tree growing nearby with a grin.

And wiggle the death size......

"Power slash!

Activate your skills while swinging down the Death Size!

Slash!

The swung blade had turned the trunk of the tree into two pieces with little resistance.... Yes. It wasn't magic. It was a death-sized blade.

As a result, Ray also turns his gaze to the trunk of the cut tree with a surprising look on his face.

What's there is still an incision that would be more accurate in describing it as slashed than slashed.

"I see, the skill to increase the power of a single blow? However, rather than sharply slashing and tearing, does it have the effect of forcefully slapping through with force, as the skill name suggests? … that sounds like a pretty good skill."

Ray nodding satisfactorily. Anyway, the skills Death Size has acquired so far are ineffective corrosion if the opponent is not equipped with metal, flying slashes for ranged attacks, or magic shields for defense. The skill of power thrashing, which is purely a blow's power, was the kind of skill you would definitely want if you tried laying it on.

"When this happens, you can expect Sprigan's Demon Stone to be used for Seto."

"Gru."

Ray, who was hurried by Seto earlier by himself, splits it between meat and bone behind him. The orga in the process of dismantling goes straight back to mystering and takes out Sprigan's body. Its size exceeds that of an auga by about 6m. Not to mention that unlike the auga that had its neck amputated, it has not been amputated except before the wrist of the left hand, so its size stands out more.

"Erm... Sprigan, Sprigan..."

I'm going to go over the textbooks whining, Ray...

"No, you don't."

There was also the effect of a rare monster, some of the textbooks did not contain any information about the sprigan.

"Uh, when this happens, you can't even dismantle it in a detour. For now, when it comes to stripping materials, I will buy more advanced books later… should I just peel off my skin?"

Exhale, use the knife and peel off the skin of the sprigan. Regardless of the size, the procedure goes smoothly because it is not so different from the previous auga. Then, in about 30 minutes, the skin of the sprigan is safely peeled, and the gut kind that seems to be available for the material is left intact and the demon stone is removed from the heart.

"Well. Sprigan's Demon Stone, but what skills do you remember, right? It would be a skill to be able to change the size that is also characteristic of the sprigan without difficulty."

Ray thinks of Seto, who is about 4m long in the back of his brain.

Indeed, if it were nearly twice as big as it is now, the original Griffon's physical abilities would make it overwhelming. But given that there's no reason to show Seto in that state to others, there's also a subtle element of trouble.

"In the end, I'll have to try. Seto."

"Grr!"

Seto brilliantly swallows that demonic stone thrown by him with a couché, and swallows it as it is. And...

[Seto mastered the skills of 'Resizing Lv.1']

The announcement went to the back of my brain.

"As expected, huh? Seto, try your resizing skills quickly."

"Grrrrrr!"

Nodding at Ray's words, Seto rings high. And the next moment......

"... what?

Ceto, who was in front of Ray, did change size, that is, its size. However, the size changes from 2m to 1m in length. I mean, it was shrinking to about half the size.

"Kru?"

Seto himself doesn't seem to really understand what happened, and suddenly he feels like the things around him have grown and is leaning his little neck.

Ray thinks in his heart about why this happened while watching how Seto is doing like that.

(shrinks, you say? I just thought it was something that was gonna get really big... that's an unexpected result. But why is it smaller... No, wait. Right. Skills acquired by absorbing Sprigan's Demon Stone are resized. I mean, that's definitely the result of the sprigan. I mean, I thought the smaller sprigan was the body, but actually that bigger one was the body of the sprigan, smaller using the special ability of the race to resize it...?

With a general anticipation of why Seto used his resizing skills to get smaller, Ray strokes Seto's head, who has rubbed his head worryingly as he inadvertently exhales.

"Klulululu?"

Because of her shrinking body length, she opens her mouth with a grin even though the squeal is somewhat adorable.

"Never mind. I'm just a little confused.... If you think about it, it's not quite convenient to say you can be smaller. Sneaking up when you're hiding from your enemies... is a little hard when you have 1m"

"Klulululu!"

It's okay, Seto just rings high.

"All right, you can go back."

"Klu!"

It rang briefly into Ray's voice and in the next moment its body was back to a 2m over griffon as usual.

"Uh, that was just a little unexpected. Just don't worry, as I said earlier, if it were small, it would be convenient to use. … but not where others are, like the whole city or any other adventurer"

"Gru."

"Okay. Then it's the last monster. Rank C Monster Emerald Wolf. It's a very high ranking monster, so you can probably acquire skills."

Whimpering, first remove the body of the first emerald wolf from Mystering. Emerald, just attached to the name. Its fangs have a deep green color, and it also looks as if the gemstone emerald is taking the form of a fang as it is.

But naturally these fangs are not made of gems. It was a common theory that Emerald Wolf's fangs and their magic were made together.

"According to the textbook... you're a fang first. Whether it's as a catalyst for alchemy, a blacksmith hitting weapon store protective equipment, it seems to be a pretty usable material for pharmacists. Fur after that. This one seems to be in high demand at protective equipment stores and clothing stores. And the gut... is the liver, tongue, and eyeball handling the material? After that, the heart... no."

The book says the heart will also buy it as a material, but as a precaution, the Demon Stone remained embedded.

"Well, Emerald Wolf has quite a few, so I guess I'll do it that way when it comes to the heart"

The tentacles to the right of the crusade proof site are first cut, furrowed as they are accustomed to, the guts removed and the liver sold as material stored in the mistering. After that, he cuts off his head and then folds it fundamentally, careful not to break his emerald-colored fangs along the way, and at the same time cuts out his tongue and takes out his eyeballs, which are as beautiful as his fangs. They are placed in storage containers like liver and stored in mysteries.

Note that the meat of Emerald Wolf, a rank C monster, can naturally also be bought as fairly elegant meat due to its high magic power. But for Ray, he rarely sells off the monster's meat because it's the perception that it's Ceto's bait.

Or I might have sold it before it rotted if it weren't for mystering. But if I kept it in the mysteries, I wouldn't have to worry about it rotting, and I didn't have the option of selling it any more than staying fresh at any time.

"Well, let's start with Seto."

"Gru."

Seto, who was listening to Ray, looks up and throws an emerald wolf demon stone at him there. As usual, you can swallow it with couch...

[Seto mastered the skills of 'Tornado Lv.1']

The announcement echoed behind Ray and Seto's brains.

"Tornado, hey. No, I can't even think about it because I did use wind magic. Seto, try it."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

When Seto's squeal echoed around him, only one tornado, about 1 m high, was present a little further away at the next moment.

"... I don't know what to say, subtly soggy"

"Gru......"

"Oh, no. I'm not blaming Seto. Lv.1 what is it and this stuff...... no wait? A tornado. Hmm, this might work pretty well."

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and grins as he strokes Seto's head tilting his little neck all the time.

"Do you want to give Death Size Demon Stone Absorption a try when it comes to a paragraph? Maybe this tornado is a pretty good skill."

Speaking so to Seto, he again removes one emerald wolf from the mystering and handles it as quickly as he did earlier. And throwing demon stones and cutting them at death size...

[Death Size mastered the skills of 'Wind Hand Lv.1']

It sounded like an announcement to the back of my brain.
