Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~
Chapter 116: Blue Devil and Stingray Dismantling

Ion and the others who had killed the stingray came back proudly. But I'm not letting my guard down yet. Because I don't have the info to level up yet. What this means is...something is approaching from the sky behind Ion.

It'll never learn...this guy.

"Hiyori!"

On my signal, Hiyori beats up Shifukudo. Hiyori beats it up one way or another and that's it. It's the end of the line for Shifukudo. That's where the level up info comes in.

There's no level up for me. My fast chanting skill improved, but I'm not aware of it at the moment. Well, I guess I'll be getting faster. And Puyosuke has leveled up and evolved.

『Puyosuke's level has reached 8. Evolution is possible』

Umm. Well, let's see.

Red Slime.

Blue Slime

Green Slime

Yellow Slime

So there are four evolutionary destinations. But the names are only different in color...what should I do about that?

Red Slime...a red slime that lives in warm regions. A nasty slime that raises its own temperature and causes fire damage and burns to its enemies.

I guess it's fire slime after all. But a slime that burns so much that it sticks to you and won't leave you is just plain harassment. The next slime is a little more difficult to predict.

Blue slime: A blue slime that lives in swamps and other areas with water sources. The normal slime is also blue, but the blue slime is larger. It takes in enemies completely and suffocates them while dealing ice damage.

Hmmm...this is probably the most average slime. I just wonder how big it gets? It can completely cover its enemies...that's a mystery. Let's move on.

Green Slime...a green slime that lives in forests. Its body is made of poison and when it bites an enemy, it inflicts wood damage and poison.

It's completely a wood-based version of Red. So I guess we can expect the next one.

Yellow Slime...a yellow slime that lives in grasslands. A nasty slime that generates electricity inside its body, causing lightning damage and paralysis to its enemies.

It's a slime that paralyzes its enemies and deals lightning damage to them forever. I'm scared!

All slimes are full of harassing elements, but the blue slime is the one I'm worried about. I've learned from today's battle that being big is a big advantage for a slime. I'll go with the Blue Slime here. So, here's the evolution.

The evolved Puyosuke has grown from the size of my palm to the same height as me. It's gotten really big. If I were to be eaten by Puyosuke, I'd probably die. However, it's not big enough to wrap around a large monster. But a stingray would be swallowed completely. Puyosuke, you've become a terrible person.

After the evolution was finished, Ion brought the stingray to me.

"I, I'm sorry! I was so careless..."

Ion apologizes to me. She's so serious! I put my hand on Ion's head.

"You did a great job killing the stingray. Good job"

"Eh? Eh? ...Th, Thank you very much"

"We all get careless and slack. I was careless too and Puyosuke protected me. I think that's how our relationship is"

We have a mutually beneficial relationship. I think that's what our relationship is all about.

"So thank you for today. Isn't that enough?"

Ion looks at me. Did she get what I wanted to say?

"Y, Yes! Thank you very much too!"

"Good. Good answer. Thank you all for your hard work. You must be tired after your first battle along the coast. Shall we eat?"

The summoned beasts shouted in agreement. But first, let's dismantle it.

Stingray: Rarity 4 Ingredient Item Quality E

An ingredient item that is considered to be one of the most delicious stingrays. Be careful, as it gives off a foul odor after a while.

Can you get the stingray as it is? And the Shifukudo didn't drop anything either. This guy can't help himself...he should at least be a poultry.

So I'm going to handle the stingray, but I don't feel like it. I know what it is. I know and that's why I hesitate.

"Are you going to cook this right away?"

Ion asks innocently.

"Y...Yes. If you don't eat it quickly, it will give off a bad smell"

"Eh..."

Ion distanced herself from the stingray. Well, that's right...but the problem isn't there. This smell is ammonia, but it can be removed with water, so there is no problem.

The problem is the internal organs when they are dismantled. It's the way they look. If you dismantle a stingray, which looks like an alien, it's only natural that something terrible will come out. I have a bitter memory of almost throwing up when I saw the old man at the fish shop dismantling it.

It's not something a girl should see. So I told Ion not to look at it and I dismantled the stingray.

When I dismantled it, it looked just like the real thing...I wanted to cry...I had hoped that it might not look real because it was a game, but I was betrayed...this game is not for all ages! I want to scream.

Throw away the internal organs into the sea! I didn't see anything.

Okay, now I'm going to handle the rest of the meat. The flesh of the stingray is pink and is said to be the best of all rays. After boiling, it turns white and actually tastes more like white meat. It does not have much flavor and is slightly sweet. It goes well with soy sauce. Let's eat it as sashimi with fish sauce.

Here's the finished product.

Stingray Sashimi: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E+

Effect: 20% fullness recovery, 2 hours increase in agility (large)

A stingray is dismembered and made into sashimi. Seasoned with fish sauce.

The better the ingredients, the better the effect. However, I'd rather not dismantle a stingray.

At least I can open my eyes to Ion and hope she's okay. We ate dinner together.

Afterwards, while we were fishing, Ion laid down on my lap.

"There's no one here today, so...let me be spoiled"

"Ah"

Lily and Koihi are always spoiled without a care, but Ion and Setia basically only spoil when we´re alone. For Ion, fishing time may be one of the few chances to be pampered.

I caught a lot of horse mackerels while holding Ion on my lap. It was just as the old man at the fish shop had said.

After a fun day of fishing, we went to find the Big Hermit Crabs. The members were Ion, Setia, Yuuga, Airy and Puyosuke. I chose Airy because I thought I could hunt with him.

Yuuga found one immediately. So let's hunt it. I know the strategy, so I feel comfortable.

I'll start with the first attack.

"Atmosphere!"

"Fire!"

"Water Blade!

Setia's fire magic has too much firepower to match Koihi, but that's my call, you have to train your skills when you can.

The starting damage is less than last time, but as expected, the Big Hermit Crab shrinks into a shell. This is where Puyosuke's help comes in.

While Puyosuke approaches the Big Hermit Crab, Ion throws projectiles and Setia alternates between wind and fire magic. I also level up my wind magic. I have a feeling that a new spell will be released at 20. I'll aim for it here.

When Puyosuke approaches, I stop raising my skills. It then enters the shell and latches on to the Big Hermit Crab's body. At the same time, it takes damage. Success. The physical attack doesn't work on Puyosuke. In fact, if the crab pinches him with its scissors, Puyosuke will split and multiply. I guess it's a natural enemy of the Big Hermit Crab.

"Poison!"

"Vine Bind!"

After that, I'll poison it with Poison and Setia will bind it with Bind.

The damage from the poison and Puyosuke´s aid will cause it to come out of the shell, but it will be restrained and unable to move. Since it's bound with its face exposed, Ion and Yuuga can attack without hesitation. That was the end.

It was a much smarter hunt, wasn't it? Thanks to Setia and Puyosuke.

The information about leveling up comes. As usual, I didn't level up, but my wind magic leveled up just as I had hoped and the info came.

『The level of wind magic has reached 20. 【Wind Barrier】 and 【Downburst】 have been acquired』

I guess Wind Barrier is a wind shield spell. And Downburst is a natural phenomenon in reality. It must have been a kind of downdraft and if it hits the ground, it would cause a gust over a wide area.

I looked at the sky and accidentally spotted a Shifukudo. Please feel unlucky that I found it.

"Downburst!"

A magic circle was drawn in the sky above me and in the next instant, Shifukudo crashed to the ground due to the fierce downward airflow. To top it all off, a gust of wind sent it rolling across the ground. Pathetic.

Well, this proves that Downburst is effective against flying enemies. The downside is that it takes a long time to chant, probably because it's a powerful spell. I also tried to use Wind Barrier, but it was a spell that created a wall of gusts of wind around me. I guess the chanting time is shorter than Earth Wall. It might be a pretty useful magic.

Now, when I dismantled the Big Hermit Crab that I had left behind, I got Hermit Crab Scissors Legs and Hermit Crab Shells. No water-based stone. Hmmm, I got them by mining when I was hunting Desnia. I guess I can't get them for sure. Nevertheless, everyone's level has improved, so I'm satisfied and ready to go home.

Author note:

As I mentioned in the text, there are many problems with disassembling stingrays. I regretted doing the research. Researching it is at your own risk. It is not recommended by me, of course.
