Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 187: Ix's Weapon and the Soul Corridor

Returning to the store, I asked Wako to repair my clothes, as she immediately said she would. After that, Ruin-san and the others gave me a lot of the stones I requested as a reward for my help in the quest. I used those stones to make 100 magic stones. Then, a message came on the screen.

Your alchemy level has reached 10. You have acquired Shape Change

What is it? This? I tried it with a stone and it just changed the shape of the stone. If I make it sharp, will it do more damage? It's a mystery.

Despite the unexpected, I successfully finished making 100 magic stones and headed to the Ex Machina battleship with Ix.

First, I check the released compartment. The simulation room and training room have been opened.

The simulation room is a holographic representation of what Ex Machina's weapons look like. Thank goodness for that.

According to the hologram, the energy dagger was a kunai-like weapon with a magic blade. The next energy blade I'm aiming for this time is a sword. The blade of the sword has a magic blade. Finally, the energy gun was a rifle-type gun.

I'm fascinated by guns, but I think I'll go for the energy blade first.

The training room was a place for duels. It was also a place where you could do various things such as shooting training. I used to go out to the field every time I trained, but I think I'll train here from now on. It had all the facilities I needed.

After checking the compartments, we headed to the first factory. First up was the released weapon.

Check again in the simulation room.

The thrusters emit magic power from their backs and can jump high. It doesn't seem to be able to fly.

The radar has an extended range and detects magic power, but whether the detection of magic power is useful is a mystery.

The energy gun sword is a sword and gun in one. It's pretty cool.

The energy blaster is a magic radiator...or flamethrower as I imagine it.

The wire gun has a wire that comes out of its fist and sticks into a wall and you can move around the wall by winding the wire. You see this in movies about thieves.

The anchor hook is a rope with an anchor hook attached that shoots out from your wrist and can be used to hook onto things. If you have a wire gun, I don't think you need one.

The stun gun was just what it sounded like. The stun cable extends from your hip and electrocutes you when you touch the electrode on the end.

The anesthesia needle looks like it's firing a needle. The flare is supposed to brighten up the surroundings and attract monsters.

The energy cutter is an arm that extends from the back and a fast-spinning cutter blade-like thing made of magic power does the cutting.

The energy shotgun looks like something that disperses lasers over a short distance.

I'm curious about the energy gun sword...but for now, let's make a manufacturable energy blade. Ix instructed me to place 200 iron ore and 100 magic stones on the conveyor belt and when I selected the energy blade on the panel, the conveyor belt moved and carried me to the weapon making machine.

Not good, I'm getting excited. And then

Ding!

The energy blade is brought in on the conveyor belt.

Wait a minute...give me back my hopes! What's with this 3-minute microwave cooking thing...I feel like I've been betrayed.

Well, no matter. It's this energy blade. It's carefully packed in its sheath. I'm going to appraise it.

Energy Blade: Ex Machina exclusive weapon Weight 20

This weapon generates a blade of magic power on the blade of the sword and slashes through the enemy. The more energy it consumes, the higher its attack power becomes, and it can generate magic blades all over the sword.

The more energy you consume, the more powerful your attack becomes.

"The energy blade is registered to the machina armament. I will use it"

A blade of magic power is formed on the blade of the sword. I want to use it, but I can't. I'd like to use it too, but I don't think it's possible with Ex Machina's special weapon.

"How does it feel to use it? Ix"

"No problem. I can join the battle at any time"

Is this Ix's way of begging me? Well, I know the feeling. I haven't been able to make her fight for a long time. But I guess I have other things to do now.

I came back to Freetia. And I headed to the Beastmasters Guild. There's something I need to do before I can magic stone summon. I need to check the synthetic summoning.

I found out that the Eagle is used for two types of synthetic summoning. And I had two of them. Rex and Route. I guess I was right.

I summoned Hiyori and Rex. Then their magic stones shine. What!?

When I open my eyes, I find myself in a completely white space. Where am I? What is this place?

This is the Soul Corridor. Master

I turned my head towards the voice and saw Hiyori and Rex.

"Did Hiyori just say that?"

Yes, I did. It's the first time we've talked like this

"That's right. But why"

I think it's because of the title Master has. Do you have any idea why?

I've been thinking about it. Maybe it's the title that Nephi-san gave me! That was given to me after Monshiro and Tsukiyume's synthetic summoning, so it makes sense that it didn't activate at that time. But if I could talk to my summoned beasts, I wanted to talk to them at that time!

It seems you have an idea

"Yes. I think the condition is synthetic summoning"

Maybe so. I think it's a place where we can tell our feelings to Master

Hiyori said so and I will talk again.

"Don't you two hate synthetic summoning?"

I don't like it because it kills us. I want to continue adventuring with Master and the others. Moreover you have raised me so well. You believed in my evolutionary potential as a chick who couldn't do anything. You forgave me even when I got on your head...I want to help such a strong and kind Master. If you need to use synthetic summoning to do that, I'll take it"

Hiyori...that's what I was thinking...I remember Hiyori and our adventures so far. At first, she was a chick, always riding on my head, flapping her wings as hard as she could.

When she became a Hawk, she helped a lot against the enemies in the sky and the backup from the sky. Battles with strong enemies such as Wolfman, Wood Golem and Astaroth.

Then, she saved me from the attack of Shifukudo. I really owe a lot to Hiyori. You could say we are comrades-in-arms.

The same goes for me. I knew I was going to have to do a synthetic summoning. And I know that Lord is suffering from it. As I evolved, Lord allowed me to fight with him. It is my pride to have fought with Lord against Astaroth. If I can be of more use to Lord than I already am, then I want it

Rex...you've noticed my complacency, too?

I didn't have a long relationship with Rex. Still, I'm just grateful to Rex for stopping Astaroth's demons and for fighting Astaroth until the end.

"I'm glad I got to talk to you both. I wish I could have talked to Monshiro and Tsukiyume"

I knew Master would say that

Yes. Hiyori. Take care of Lord. I entrust you with my power

I accept. I hereby swear that I will help Lord as much as Rex did

You promised? Then, my Lord. Synthetic summon

"Ah...the days I spent adventuring with you two are my pride and joy. I swear I'll never forget them"

The two of them laugh.

Our spirits will always be with you, Master (Lord)

"Synthetic Summon!"

They turn into magic stones and we return to the synthesis summoning room. Then the two magic stones are sucked into the magic circle and the magic circles overlap to create a new magic circle.

A tornado then erupts from the new magic circle and a new summoned creature appears. A legendary creature with the upper body of a hawk and wings and the lower body of a lion. A Griffon was born. But it seems that it is no ordinary griffon.

Lesser Griffon...a young form of the legendary creature called the eagle-lion. Even though it is a child, the way it flaps its wings and flies through the sky is truly worthy of the king of birds and beasts. It can be mounted and flies with its summoner across the battlefield.

Let's decide on a name right away. It's Hiyori and Rex, so let's name it after those two...

"Your name is Hix!"

"Pee!"

The Lesser Griffon gives a yell.

This brings the total number of summoned beasts I can summon to 5.

Hix is three to four meters long. The wings are probably six meters long. It's strong overall, but the most notable skill is its riding skill. As I read in the description, it seems that I can fly on Hix.

So I bought some equipment and got on Hix. It was the same equipment as Liqueur's, but it was for a Lesser Griffon, so of course it was more expensive, but it was a necessary expense.

Let's go on our first adventure in the sky! When I give the signal, its wings flap and its huge body soars into the sky.

Wow! I can see all of Freetia! Ah, I can see Lieblich. But flying around in the sky of the country seems like a bad idea, so I head for the sky of the field.

It's a nice breeze. And Hix, but as I explained, it's almost like running in the sky. This is something I can't get enough of.

While I'm enjoying my walk in the sky, black shadows are heading towards us. I remembered that there are Crows in the sky of Freetia. So let's go with my debut in the sky and Hix's first battle.

"First battle! Let's go! Hix!"

"Peee!"

Hix accelerated and attacked the Crows with a whirlwind. With one blow, the Crows crashed.

And I thought I was going to die too. I thought I was used to accelerating with Liqueur and Darley, but the speed was completely different. I thought the wind pressure on my body would tear me apart.

I looked at my vitality and saw that it was decreasing...looks like I need equipment for aerial combat. Speaking of which, what happens when we fly high?

As a result, I felt like I was suffering from mountain climbing sickness and my vitality was reduced again. It's not safe to go any further, so we head back to Freetia.

After returning safely from my walk in the sky, I said to Hix again.

"I'll look forward to working with you from now on. Hix"

"Pee~"

When I said that, he rubbed his face against mine. I stroked Hix, feeling a hint of Hiyori and Rex in his appearance.

After that, I returned to the Beastmasters Guild to magic stone summon.
