Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 62 - Powering Up!



-----

After we quickly picked up everything, I took out my portable house and we took a very quick break inside, I mostly wanted to assess all the items I got and absorb anything that could benefit me immediately, such as Soul Spheres and Ability Spheres, and then I will probably change Jobs.

The big corpse of the giant Boss was butchered by Kireina, and this time not completely eaten by her, the flesh of this creature was poisonous, but Ervas purified it through Antidote, and then Kireina made a fire with my Phantasmal Fire and began to cut the monster meat into large pieces, beginning to roast it while sprinkling salt and pepper over it.

The flesh of the creature, when detoxified looked just like beef, and it wasn't at all some disgusting bug meat, so I was expectant to try it out (and even if it were bug meat, I would have boiled it and see if it tasted like crab).

As usual, the large carapace was left to upgrade my equipment, as the equipment of summons grew stronger as they leveled up and as the summoner grew strong, so for now they didn't need any particular help in this regard.

The scarlet red exoskeleton of the Boss seemed incredibly sturdy, and it held within its Fire Attribute properties according to Appraisal.

I left the item with Anna for the moment as I glanced at the pile of items, a lot of gold and jewels, which were all assimilated into Gold in my Status. There were also a few Hero Feathers dropped, and a lot of Dropped Items named "Monster Parts" which were monster parts of the monster that emerge independently from the corpse itself, kind of like MMORPG games.

The Dropped Items that were Monster Parts came in all sizes and colors, from their Eyes, Blade Jaws, Legs, and even the torso, all of them were mostly food with their meat and the exoskeleton can be used as materials to enhance equipment or create it, so I saved most of them.

Aside from all of that, I quickly absorbed around 52 Soul Spheres of varied Attributes, and then a few Ability Spheres which had a very low drop chance, but that I got, nonetheless.

Aside from getting a nice amount of bonus Stats, I got new Skills too, which all looked rather "meh", but that could possibly get good or may be fused, if there is even such a function that I can do manually.

Ding!

[You gained +300 Vitality, +200 Mana, +450 Strength, +250 Magic, and +150 Dexterity]

Ding!

[You learned the [Power Jump (D)], [Scarlet Exoskeleton (D)], and [Flare Kick (D)] Skills!]

Wait… No, although they're D-Rank… These Skills are not bad!

I mean, I know I am more of a long-ranged attacker, but these Skills are nice, and having more flexibility is not bad either. Okay, I take back all I said previously, I might use these ones.

[Power Jump (D)]

By infusing Mana into the muscles of your legs, you're capable of jumping 10 times as fast and high. Grants the ability to Double Jump in midair. The intensity of the Jump increases as the Skill Grade does.

[Scarlet Exoskeleton (D)]

By using Mana, you can coat parts of your body with a chitinous Scarlet Exoskeleton, providing an increase in physical defense, resistance to Fire Attribute Attacks, and shockwave absorption. Does not constantly drain Mana upon utilization, but if shattered, more Mana is needed to regenerate, shattered pieces turn into mana particles.

[Flare Kick (D)]

Use Mana to summon flames over your legs, which do not damage, but enhance your leg's speed while giving them the Fire Attribute Property to your kicks, which can be used in conjunction with Power Jump to unleash powerful blazing kicks or waves of fire. Constantly drains mana upon activation.

These Skills are indeed useful! I actually needed more variety like this.

I quickly activate the Scarlet Exoskeleton Skill, as from my hand's red chitinous layers of exoskeleton begin to grow all the way into my arms, torso, legs, and foot.

"Ungh…" I said, it was a bit stiff, and it didn't help well with movement, I don't have to cover myself completely with it, but only in certain areas.

"Oh! Master looks so good! Is that an armor skill?" asked Anna.

"He looks straight out of a Final Fantasy Game," said Ervas.

"It does look like armor?" I asked.

"Yeah! It even has decorations, papa!" said Vudia, as she showed me a mirror, I really did look like a knight, and if I cover my face with it…

The chitinous exoskeleton covers my face and turns into a helmet-like shape!

Even my hands grow exoskeleton claws, it is not half bad.

And because it is not actual metal, it is very light yet just as resistant it seems.

Kireina quickly entered the house while bringing a plate with grilled meat slices for us to try out.

"Oh, master, you look so good with it! Like my valiant knight~! Oh! Will you protect this damsel in distress~? Fufu," laughed Kireina, teasing me a bit.

"I might protect you a little bit," I laughed, as the exoskeleton quickly turned into particles of mana that dissipated into the air.

"I see, so it doesn't leave the armor… I thought we would get an unlimited source of materials," sighed Anna.

"Don't worry, with the loot we got recently, that's enough for a whole battalion, but I doubt we'll be using it all anyways," said Kireina while shrugging, as she offered us all some meat.

"Indeed… Nom… Oh?!" Anna exclaimed, as she tasted the meat, it seemed to be good.

"Nom… Uwah! It is juicy!" said Vudia.

"Hm… It tastes better than the supermarket frozen meat we got stocked," said Ervas.

Kireina also gave some of the meat to Cuco, who devoured it as if his life depended on it.

I guess I should give it a try too.

I bit the meat as I took a large chunk… After being grilled, it was incredibly tender.

And… it was filled with juices, tasteful to the brim.

My entire mouth was filled with a party of flavors, Kireina seemed to have added oregano and soy sauce to it too, it was amazing…

Isn't this… way better than even Wagyu Beef?

Damn…
