We have a level system in place for mankind.

I looked around the Explorer of Ginzan Town. The only thing that has not become a Guardian killer is Mizuse. Only Zombie Ward remains on the south side of the track through the center of Nagata City.

I didn't like Zombies either, so I had to go north.

Well then, let's go north of the station. It was the Great Lizard District in front of the station. "

The alien beast in the Great Lizard District is a monster that makes the lizard bigger. Then guess what, the Guardian would be a giant lizard.

"Find out where the Guardian is."

The guardian of the Great Lizard District appears to be in a large parking lot at the supermarket in front of the station. Judging by the signs, it appears to be as strong as the Guardian of Kusandragon Ward.

Mizuse won't be able to do it. We headed east. On the way, I encountered a large lizard. A large lizard about four meters in length has sharp nails on its feet and sharp teeth on its big mouth.

"You're as big as a crocodile. Be careful."

The moment the river wells raised their voices, the big lizard began to rush. The big lizard approaching with his short legs shaking his long torso is quite scary.

Mizuse ran away screaming.

Leave it to yourself.

Kawai shook his sword, and as he approached the lizard, he shook his head down. The Great Sword caused quite a deep wound, but the Great Lizard didn't die.

He's got a hard head.

A big lizard twisted his body and threw his tail at the river well saying that feeling. The tail was set on the bottom of the river well and it was bounced off.

I rush into the lizard and hit the baton. The big lizard's neck was broken by a spinning blade and stabbed. Hurry up and check the river well.

"Are you okay?

"Oh, I just got a little hit."

A rolling river well rose up to see the part of the stomach that had been beaten with the tail. There are clearly marks and there seems to be internal bleeding.

"It's not okay. Drink your potion."

Misaki looked at the extent of bleeding in the river well and said. The priests were surprised to hear that.

"Do the Kojiro-san have potions?

It seems that few towns have a Weird Territory that typically leaves behind the heart stone of the tree attribute that underlies the potion. The potion is said to be valuable because there are no Weird Beasts left with wood-attributed Heartstones in Ginzan Town of the priests.

"There's a tree district in Jesus City where Trent comes out. Tell me when you get hurt."

I envy you.

Fight the lizard to the east. Leaving the Great Lizard District, the strange beast I encountered was a giant snail. These giant snails, when attacked, close into their shells.

Ishido and Dota hit the huge snail shell with a metal bat. I was using a metal bat instead of a razor blade because I thought it might crush the blade.

"Ha!" "Whoa!" Ah!

Huge snails like a large washing machine spit out something like pink smoke. The two men who were hitting him with a metal bat ran away in a hurry.

This pink smoke is poisonous.

"I can't. I knew I had to use the Flame Manipulation skill."

I've just acquired a new skill, so I can't use a lot of abilities or attacks. For both of us, the most powerful method of attack is' inflammatory manipulation '.

Kojiro-san, I'm going to try Explosive Fire in Flame Manipulation , okay?

"Fine. Try again and again."

I entrusted the giant snails to Ishido and Dota, and I was doing a high-rise sightseeing. They also see Misaki, Elena, and Kawai.

Ishido attacked a giant snail using Explosive Fire . When the exploding flame disappeared, there was a slightly coarse but still a huge snail.

"Sturdy enough."

The priest exhaled. The guardian of the cockroach "Katsuri" district is unlikely to be defeated, so Mizuse also looks in trouble.

At Misaki's suggestion, I tried Flamethrowing instead of Flamethrowing . A flame like that emitted from a flamethrower scorches a giant snail. And after a while, something like water vapor leaked out of the giant snails, and eventually disappeared.

"Did the giant snails steam and die? If you knew it, you could have knocked it down in an easy way."

"If we can defeat them with fire, maybe we can defeat the Guardian."

Mizuse shouted with joy.

We collected gasoline from the cars left on the street and in the parking lot and searched for a guardian. Enter the grounds in a large temple feeling the signs of a Guardian. From the signs of the Guardian, it does not appear to be such a strong Guardian.

"Hey, Kojiro. Snails are insects, aren't they?

"No, they must have been with shellfish, squid, octopuses."

"That's right. It's called starch, so I thought it was a bug."

"What's wrong with that?

"So I wondered what kind of monster the Guardian was."

"I simply thought it was a giant snail... an octopus and squid. But the temple is on land."

I never thought that an octopus or squid would appear on land. But, contrary to expectations, the Guardian was an octopus monster.

"It's no use trying to collect gas."

"Gasoline can be used as fuel, so it's not a waste."

Elena tells me to comfort me. I'm glad to hear that.

The battle against the giant octopus began. We cut off one octopus leg at a time and took down a guardian who couldn't move, with an attack by Mizuse. It seems that it was an attack that pierced the eyes of a giant octopus with the stone spear of "ground manipulation."

The reward for defeating a Guardian is to raise any skill to Max level. Mizuse raised "ground manipulation" to Max, and acquired "lightning manipulation" in the choice of control stone.

Now you've achieved the minimum norm.

When I was relieved, Misaki turned a sharp eye.

"We haven't found the dome to the food area yet."

"Yes, it was."

While training the priests, we investigated all the Weird Territories in Nagata City. Since the eastern neighborhood of the cockroach district was the Giant District, I gave up and investigated the western part of the Great Lizard District to find out that it was a Fisherman's Territory.

The guardian of the Fisherman's Quarter was a shark-headed Fisherman. Elena blessed the fairy with a bursting arrow that exploded where I weakened her with a truncheon.

Elena raised the level of all her skills one by one and gained "Eight Stages Nishiki" by choosing a control stone.

"Finally, Elena pulled it off on an individual level. I have to do my best."

Misaki was a man of words. I defeated Arakuna, the protector of the Great Spider Ward, west of the Mermaid Ward, and raised "Ice Manipulation" to Max Level with the reward of defeating the protector. Then, by selecting the control stone, you can acquire "advanced knowledge (ice) " and use all the abilities and attack moves related to "ice manipulation".

"What are Skill Levels 8 and 9 in Ice Manipulation?

When I ask, Misaki looks subtle.

"Skill level 8 is Absolute Zero. It seems to have the ability to take away all the heat contained in the target. And skill level 9 is [Ice God Summon]. This is the same as the Erasure Vortex in 'Manipulative Darkness'. It's better not to use it as much as possible."

The dome in the food area was found in high school in the Great Spider District.

While everyone entered the dome and the priests were distracted by the transition patterns depicted on the floor, I got the link crystal here and locked it in with the link crystal of Jesus City.

This will allow you to travel between Jesus and Nagata.

"Amazing. If I step in here, can I go to the food area?"

Dota is shining her eyes and looking at the pattern of transition. Ishido looked at me the same way.

"Mr. Kojiro, may I come in?

"No way. Once we get into the food area, we won't be back for five hours. It's late today, so let's do it tomorrow."

Looking at the clock, it is past four in the afternoon. It's time to go back to base.

We hurried back and finished cooking dinner at the school.

"Now that we've done what the prefecture asked us to do, we've finished leveling up. Let's take it slow."

The river stood up and looked at me.

"Wait, did you forget something?

When I tilt my head, the river tries to shake karate chops over my head.

"Wow, what's wrong?

I'll catch up and ask.

"You haven't leveled me up yet. Don't forget."
