55 52 A nasty partner





 We talked all night and in the morning.

 I managed to get the three of them to agree. They asked me to report daily via a team-only newsletter. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's no use.

 I ordered Sylvia and Eco to train for the "Limptofert lap alone" while I was away. However, they don't dive alone; they dive together and one of them fights and the other one watches from the back.

'Isn't that a little too eco-friendly?

 Sylvia had said something like that. It's true that Eco can only use 【Shield Technique】 and 【Recovery Magic】. Even a single demon on the road would take quite a bit of time.

 But the answer is no. If anything, Sylvia, you're tougher than me.

 After this training, I'm sure the two of you will realize the importance of being in the vanguard and the rear guard. Don't forget your original intentions. It would be great if they have grown up by the time I come back.

 Meanwhile, as for Yukari, I've taken a leave of absence.

 It would be counterproductive for ...... to have too little to do too suddenly, so I asked her to do one long-term project. As soon as my 《demolition》 skill reaches the ninth level, I'll probably start actively working steadily and steadily.


 And just like that, we'll be saying goodbye to the girls for a while.

 As I was leaving the mansion, many servants lined up in front of the gate and saw me off with the three of them.
 I'm a little embarrassed, so I say "thank you" to them all before accelerating Seven Stay-O.

 We are now headed to the town of Pejo. From there, we'll go to the port town of Coola and take a boat out to sea. The Aisolois dungeon is located on a small island not far from there.

 I have a little business to attend to in the Asiasporn dungeon on the way, so I'm going to stay overnight in the town of Pehoe today. The next day, I'll be on the move all day and stay another night in Coola. In other words, I'll be taking on Aisolois the day after tomorrow.

 Well.
 In order to share information with my confidant who will be fighting with me for a long time to come, I prepared 《Summoning Spirits》 and summoned it in manner mode.

''(--What do you mean by summoning on a horse, my Second?)

 As soon as he is summoned, Angolmore, the Great Spirit King, appeals to me through telepathic communication.

''I'm going to go f*ck some f*cking powerful enemies now, so share the information.''
"(What! (Is that true?!)

 Angolmore's tension visibly increased. I knew a little bit about it, but this guy is quite a battle fanatic, isn't he?

'' (How. I said he was f*cking strong, but I was wrong.)
(What?)
He's freakin' strong. He's a mess. It's at a level where you could get down on your knees naked if someone could beat you on the first try.
(Ho! I don't need my second-in-command to tell me that! My blood is boiling! (Hahaha!)
"The enemy is the dark wolf. I want to taste this thing.
"(Tame!) Such a formidable foe!
' (Yes.) Half-kill him, tame him, and if you fail, you're back to square one. Repeat this.)
"(How brave!) It is heavenly. But nuh-uh ...... it's going to be a long fight)

 After a lot of talking, we arrived in Pejo.
 We got a place to stay and headed to Asiasparn.

"(What are you headed for?)
I'm going for the goblin mage's horns. Well, to put it simply, prepare for the inner workings.
(...... Hohoho. That's not too shabby.)

 Angolmore read what I was thinking with a sense of unity, and muttered in admiration.

 I crisply collected the goblin mage's horns and headed back to Peho's town.

 While there, I bought up all the high quality potions I could find at Pehoe's potion shop. It was ten million CL. I already had so many high quality potions in my inventory that I couldn't use them all up in my life, but it wouldn't hurt to buy them when you can. Because I will consume it so much from now on that I don't like it.



 The next day.
 In the morning, we drive the Seven Stay O to the port city of Coola.

 Taking advantage of this fairly free time, I spoke to Angolmore who is still in manner mode to share the main information.

''(I'm going to come up with some basic information about the dark wolf now, so read it in unison)''
"(Gyoi)

 Okay, it looks like we're ready to go. For starters, let's first think of the basic skills of the dark wolf.


《Dark Transformation》: it transforms from wolf form to human form and from human form to wolf form. It takes 8 seconds to transform.
Dark Transition: Instantly transmigrate to the location where you are being recorded. However, the destination must be in the shadows.
Dark Summoning: Only in human form. It instantly transposes you to a location that has a record of something else. However, the destination must be a shadow.
Dark Magic: Human only. Unleashes a dark fog that "forces the remaining HP to be reduced to 1" over a wide area in front of you. Takes 3 seconds to prepare.
The Dark Roar: A wolf-only attack. A powerful long-range attack from a distance in front. Preparation time 2 seconds.
Emptiness: Disables attacks when activated. There is no preparation time, 3 seconds to use, and 30 seconds of cool time.

When in wolf form, all physical attacks are disabled, and when in human form, all magic attacks are disabled.


"(What is this?

 Angoldmore let out a cry of surprise.
 What surprised him, probably that thing and that thing.

''(The attack is totally disabled!)'
(Yes.)
"(Forcing your strength to 1? (Is there such a thing as a mysterious magic?!)
"(There is. They use that quite often too.)
(............)

 Even if it was even the great spirit king, he was still immensely disappointed by the quicksand.

''It's okay to nullify it. What's scary is that this instant death level attack is a wide range. What's even more frightening is that after the dark magic, they use a 'heavy-handed' attack.
"(Then you should recover ...... immediately. You've been buying a lot of potions for that.)
"(No, you don't want an immediate recovery. Better to recover when it's safe to do so.)
(Why?)
'(Because after dark magic, it's either dark summoning or wand arts attacks. If it's the former, priority is on blocking, if it's the latter, priority is on evading.)
"(Wait. Cane technique? I'm not listening to you.
"(I'm going to come to mind)

 The skills of the dark wolf aren't the only ones I've seen in the past. This time, I'll share my behavioral patterns as well. These are the behavioral patterns of the dark wolf that I've learned hundreds of times over and over again.


(1) a lunge, (2) a body hit or claw, (3) a bite, or (4) a dark transition.
 (3) Bite, then dark roar, then dark transition, then (1) lunge or (5) dark transformation.
 (4) Dark transition -> (1) rush or (5) dark transformation
  (5) Dark Transformation -> Dark Magic -> Dark Transition -> (6) Dark Summoning
 If the attack succeeds, go to the dark transition → dark roar → (1) lunge / if the attack fails, go to the dark transition → dark transformation → (6) dark summoning
  (6) Summon Darkness, transfer the Shadow Staff or the Spear of Black Flame to your hand.
   Shadow Wand -> "Wand Technique Mode" (repeating dark magic and [Wand Technique] attacks until it goes down)
   Black Flame Spear -> "Strongest Mode" (repeated dark transition and [spear technique] attack) until it goes down
    After they go down -> Dark Transformation -> (1) Forward

Wand Jutsu Mode: The shadow staff is used to perform numerous attacks. As a characteristic of the shadow staff, even if the shadow is attacked, it is a damage judgment.
Strongest Mode: Shifts from shadow to shadow while attacking with the Black Flame Spear. Every time he wields the Black Flaming Spear, a powerful black flame will erupt.

All of the above action patterns will be randomly added to the "Imaginary Shadow" state.



' (...... a monster, is it not?)
(So that's what I'm saying.)

 He is a dark wolf that makes even the Great Spirit King a monster. His strength is still exorbitant.

 His status is not that high, but some players even said that he was the strongest of all the Mevion monsters. The secret of its strength is its troublesome attacks. Especially the [Wand Technique] combo from the [Dark Magic] is particularly egregious. Oh no, I'd love to tame it in this life as well.

''(I'll tell you something important. The first move of the wolf type is always a rush, and the first move of the humanoid type is dark magic or dark summoning.)
(Mmm, that's what happens.)
I don't know if I need to share this with you because it's already ingrained in my body, but I just wanted to let you know.

 There are about 11 points to consider when confronting the dark wolf.

1. avoid dark magic as much as possible. If you receive a potion, don't use it immediately, but rather secure it before applying it.
2. Do not receive dark magic while in Wand Technique Mode.
3.
4. see the shadow of the dark wolf to detect the imaginary state. If there is no shadow, the imaginary state is confirmed.
5The shadow is fixed in place by setting up a fire beforehand.
6. In the humanoid form, use the Flying Wheel Archery and Dragon King Swordsmanship to gain damage.
7. In the wolf form, use the combined techniques of the Flying Wheel Archery and the Lightning Archery for damage.
8. use the Kakugyo Kenjutsu to deal with the human form when it approaches you. Aim for the legs and you'll get knockback, or trigger a critical strike to take them down. 9.
9. when approached by the wolf form, use the Kakugyo Kenjutsu and the Ichinokata to counter with a combination of the Angular Swordsmanship and the Thunderbolt. Activating a critical strike will knock back the attack.
10. Take advantage of the invincibility of the Transformation.
11. If the "Tame" fails, it's more time efficient to use a potion on the dark wolf.

''(What is this ...... using a potion on the dark wolf? (And what's the invincibility of the transformation?)
(Tame is a skill that can be used when the demon's HP is less than 20% remaining, but the fact that the demon's HP is reduced by 80% or more of its full capacity is a condition for Tame to be activated. (Hence, it's more efficient to use a potion to heal the dark wolf to its full capacity and then remove 80% of its HP again rather than waiting for it to recover naturally.

 You can kill it off and wait for it to spawn again, but there's no guarantee that it will appear again in this world, so recovering it with potions would be a more reliable method.

(By the way, the transformation skill has the characteristic of being invincible until the transformation is complete. It's about 8 seconds. What would you do without making use of this time?
"(I don't know. My Second's knowledge captures the abyss of this world: ......)

 This one is mainly for emergency evasion.

 Basically, he fights by alternating between "Spiritual Possession" and "Transformation" so that he doesn't lose his buffs.

 With "Spiritual Possession" 9-dan, he has 450% of all stats, 310 seconds of possession time, and 250 seconds of cool time.
 《Transformation》 9-dan, 360% of all stats, 420 seconds of transformation time, 230 seconds of cool time.

 In other words, you can use Transformation ahead of time from the time 230 seconds have passed in the possession state after transforming. It's worth remembering that there is such a use for this, in case you were wondering.


''(We're about to arrive)'

 The port city of Coola came into view ahead.

 I suddenly realize. The hand holding the reins of Seven Stay O is shaking.

 It's ...... a warrior's shake. Every cell in my body is excited at the thought of the deadly battle that will continue for weeks to come.

 How long will it take to get tamed?

 I've been quietly spending the night before the decisive battle, wishing to the dark wolf of this world that I hadn't yet seen, that I would be tamed as soon as possible.
