I Summoned a Max Level Demon by Myself

Episode 53

“An incident will happen there.”

Originally, it should have been a bizarre forest intended only for the training of new chicks.

Should I say that it just happened?

When the freshmen are practicing in the forest, an incident occurs.

“Anyway, we’re leaving for the Forest of Blood in ten days. For the time being, I’ll be busy just preparing.”

Even though I thought I prepared well, there were a lot of things to do.

I get greedy, so I put my hands on this and that.

“Basically, take care of what you need first… … . I have to do what I can get my hands on first.”

maintenance of equipment.

It was necessary not only to simply pack commercially available equipment, but also to use them as materials to make them useful items for me.

《Would you like to grant dark magic to the dagger?》

don’t say

Right now, in front of me, there are well over a hundred daggers piled up.

Picking up one of them and using Alchemy – Dark Magic Transmutation, a derived skill from the Dark Magic class – to try to transform equipment.

《You have obtained the Dagger of the Black Snake.》

《Grade: B》

《Option 1: Attribute Damage (Fire) + 23》

《Option 2: Increase Penetration Damage (Small)》

“Sheesh, is that a joke?”

trash man.

Looking at the options for the completed item, I clicked my tongue and tossed it roughly.

“I need to make it again.”

“oh? is it a failure I think it went pretty well.”

“It’s not really a failure. The item itself has been properly completed.”

I just don’t like the options.

“I think I’ve said it before, but I can’t decide the type of effect granted.”

“A long time ago, what blacksmith did that? Only the god of fire knows the most important level of perfection of a sharpened sword.”

“I don’t know about that musty maxim, but most importantly, it’s just pure luck.”

Most of the options for items produced with production enhancement skills must be left to chance.

The type of option, value, rank, all of these are probabilities, and there are skills and contents that help with it to some extent.

‘Because I can’t find it at this point… … .’

It’s still too early.

Fortunately, the necessary materials are cheap, and all I need is my willpower, grit, and mana in the end.

“Then you can keep screaming until it floats.”

turn until

At least one option is worth picking up.

I’m ignorant, but sometimes I have to use this method.

“But it’s a bit of a waste to throw that away.”

Emily tilted her head as she picked up the ‘failure’ I had thrown away and examined it.

“In your sister’s eyes, this one you threw away looks pretty good too, doesn’t it?”

“Do not be ridiculous. Who will throw it away?”

Of course I have no intention of giving up.

The dagger used as a material is a training item sold by the academy’s blacksmith class.

In short, buying things made by students in bulk.

“I’ll collect the failed works later and sell them in moderation.”

The words are a failure, but to the end, that is my standard.

It didn’t pass my standards, but if you look at it normally, it’s a luxury enough.

“If you sell it through a suitable supplier, you can get about 15 times the original price.”

In other words, it also serves as both a business and a business to make money.

“There are no gaps enough to be steady.”

“Never take a loss is my motto.”

Above all else, wasting all your money is a laughing stock.

Bankruptcy is not the only thing in Xi’an’s workshop.

If you spend 1 gold coin, return 10 coins. Even a usurer should be a person who can lose money.

So, let’s get back to work.

《Attempt to synthesize.》

《Attempt to synthesize.》

《Synthesis… … .》

Now, he doesn’t even pay attention to the message and only repeats synthesis.

An extremely personal jinx that has nothing to do with game strategy or knowledge.

one of my own thoughts.

‘Empty your head when you leave everything to luck.’

Hands in motion and brains in ignorance.

‘Ah, you have to give up worldly desires to lose what you want.’

bath sensor.

It won’t open if you wish.

If you empty your head and turn it, it drops.

In addition, I exploded while broadcasting while insisting on such a jinx.

No one who can’t

“oh? He looks like he will soon realize something.”

“… … shut up!”

Deny it, you devil.

In any case, it was around the time when I repeated synthesis only, checked quickly, threw it, picked up a new item, and attempted synthesis.

Even if I roughly counted the failed attempts thrown back, I would have exceeded 90.

《You have obtained the Dagger of the Black Snake.》

《B Rank》

《Option 1: Guard Lv.2》

《Option 2: Trace Capture Lv.4》

It seems that I am the one who will become ‘Xian’ now.

Actually, I was prepared to stay up all night.

“This might be useful.”

What I wanted was to acquire an option that gave the effect of the skill.

The effect of the skill can be used only by holding the equipment to which it is granted.

‘Surprisingly, the skill option is useful in the beginning.’

The range of the status increase is not very important for options that are added at the beginning.

It is more effective to change resistance to a dedicated item instead.

But skills are useful.

Skills that are difficult to acquire at the present time or that are too expensive to take points can be benefited by giving options to equipment like this.

“Are you done?”

“The second effect is useful.”

Well, the first option doesn’t do much. However, since the second is satisfactory, the first criterion is cleared.

“Now I am writing this here.”

《Ore of Despair》

A rare catalyst that adds options to items.

It was obtained as a reward from a recent dungeon incident.

write this

《Do you want to use Ore of Despair?》

《The first option of the item will be reapplied.》

It’s a gamble as to what will be added, but if it’s an A-rank skill, it’ll be useful no matter what.

《You have obtained the Dagger of the Black Snake.》

《B Rank》

《Option 1: Intimidation of the Sword Lv.3》

《Option 2: Trace Capture Lv.4》

Worth it.

“Sword Intimidation is an optional skill that only applies to sword-type equipment… … . If you use equipment with this attached.”

You’d better show me an example.

I put the thought of holding the completed dagger in my hand and wielding it appropriately.

From noble mtl dot com

If you are conscious of writing, the skill will naturally manifest itself.

Keying.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but the blade of the dagger trembled slightly and it felt like crying.

《Sword coercion skill is manifested.》

First option.

As soon as the effect of the skill appeared, something like an invisible wave spread around.

“Oh oh! Is it a force that interferes with the mind?”

“Similar.”

The learning class is the Auror class.

Among them, it is a passive skill that can be taken by training to the level of a higher class.

“If you confront an enemy while this skill is activated, you will receive a penalty on your movement due to the enemy’s coercion with a certain probability.”

In the case of magic, casting speed is reduced.

In the case of Aura skills, accuracy rate reduction or critical rate reduction.

To be honest, the enemy is scared and makes mistakes.

It is a skill that shows such an effect.

“So that’s it. If a strong person stares at you, you won’t be able to move.”

“Isn’t that a false metaphor?”

Like a frog facing its natural enemy.

It is a skill that reproduces such an effect.

“Although it doesn’t have a strong coercion effect.”

The effectiveness and success rate of intimidation-type skills depend on the skill level of the caster’s aura-type skills.

“Still, this is useful enough.”

If there are at least 3 enemies, even if I use it, I can see the effect.

In the first place, if I, as a wizard, had to pull out and use a dagger, I would have said everything.

Just in case, it was judged that it would be more useful to embed a series of options that lead to gaps in the opponent rather than the power of the weapon.

“And the second option… … This is a really tough skill.”

second skill.

Actually, this is a skill that makes no sense.

At the time of the game, when it was known that this could be attached to the weapon at the beginning of the game, it was an option that everyone was anxious to turn and attach to the weapon somehow.

“Emily, throw a pebble slowly enough.”

It is better to show rather than explain.

As I ordered, Emily threw demon energy into a suitable stone and threw it.

Stones slowly flying in a parabolic arc.

I was conscious of it with my gaze.

《The effect of the skill is activated.》

The dagger trembles.

I didn’t force myself to go against the movement that seemed to get out of my hands at any moment.

“This is how you write it.”

threw

“oh? So it wouldn’t fit.”

said Emily, as if she did not understand my behavior.

That’s because it seemed to have been roughly thrown, regardless of the trajectory of the flying stones.

Even more so, hitting flying objects is never an easy task.

“I know when I see it.”

When you are confident, there is a reason for everything.

The tip of the dagger that left my hand swayed and changed its trajectory.

From the name of the skill, tracking capture.

“The effect, of course, is to chase after the target object.”

in writing.

Originally, it is an accuracy correction skill, but when it is attached to a weapon that can be thrown, it takes on a strange effect.

No matter where you throw it, it flies towards the target object.

The dagger, which had changed its trajectory so unnaturally, was accurately hit at the falling stone.

Taang!

A dagger that smashes rocks with a sound.

What’s even more amazing is that the dagger that hit the object like that returns to my grasp, flying backwards and round as if being retrieved.

“… … Assuming that it chases after you, why is it coming back?”

“well?”

I’m not kidding, I don’t even know why he’s coming back.

It was like this even in gaming days.

‘Because it’s a buggy skill.’

The original throw cannot be used again until the dagger is retrieved once thrown.

That’s right, you can’t pick them up one by one during battle.

“When a dagger that is thrown has a tracking skill attached to it, it becomes strange.”

come back

The thrown dagger hits the object and returns to its owner’s grasp.

It’s not a salmon coming home.

“I don’t know what a skill is.”

An effect that makes even the devil bewildered.

“With this, you can keep enemies in check at mid-range without consuming mana or unleash a blow that can take your life.”

Not to mention, the dagger is automatically retrieved, so at least as long as the dagger isn’t completely destroyed, you can throw it as many times as you like.

Above all, throwing a dagger is a physical damage judgment.

The tactic of using only magic damage to catch the opponent off guard and then using it to catch them off guard is a trick itself.

I smiled bitterly and thought as I caressed the hilt of the returned dagger.

‘It’s a buggy skill after all.’

Later, during the developer’s interview, there was a rumor about this skill.

Originally, tracking and capturing was planned to be applied only to weapons with low accuracy, such as two-handed swords and hammers.

Due to a bug, it also stuck to things like daggers and arrows.

The recovered effect was also not intended, but it came out unintentionally due to overlapping limitations of the game system at the time.

A patch was considered, but it was widely used, and it wasn’t to the extent that it broke the foundation of the game’s balance.

This is a fairly common occurrence in the history of gaming.

‘Also, buggy skills should be used regularly!’

However, I can’t believe that even the effect that is like a bug is reproduced.

‘… … I don’t know whether to be happy or embarrassed about this.’

The question about this world goes deep.

If my activities become easier, there will be no need to complain.

* * *

There were no problems with material preparation.

The next issue is personnel.

Solitary action is not permitted in this outside exercise.

Form a team of at least 3 people.

In short, I need two more friends to act like me.

At the time of the game, it was possible to immediately select a moderately favorable person, but now such convenient options do not appear.

You have to go around on your own feet and talk to them to match their intentions.

“What~ Don’t worry! I am confident that I can seduce anyone just by talking to them!”

(Hmm… that would be nice.)

“what? that tone?”

That’s right, I’m different from ‘Xian’ at the time of the game.

A genius no one can doubt.

It is strong and has the ability to be expected in any situation of survival in the forest.

In short, when it comes to gaming, the number one recruiting target!

I am not the only person who is worthy of being recruited after making the utmost effort.

Waiting for me must be countless party requests.

And then, confidently, I stepped out.

… … After only half a day.

“Uh, why?”

I lost my self-confidence lying face down on the table in the rest area.

The reason is plainly stated.

Because most of my motives were avoiding me.
