Episode 113: Why Don't You Cherish the Present
More? (2)
Now
that I've decided to fight, the question becomes: which cards should I summon?
Since
the summoned cards will affect the capabilities of the cards that drop, I have
to choose them carefully...
Kisshouten
and Kokuanten each copied three skills, totaling six. That means, for this
Trinity Deity, I can potentially obtain nine skills.
The
skills copied will be random—I can't manipulate fate to control the outcome.
That would defeat the purpose of a trial, wouldn't it?—but I want to choose
cards whose resulting skills will be beneficial, regardless of which ones are
copied.
First, let's decide on the six cards that will
comprise the combat team.
Renge is a definite choice, and Eliza, Yuki,
and Mea are also safe picks. For the remaining two... let's go with Dress, who
has overcome her [Clumsy] skill, and Myra, who has been powered up by her
[Spiritual recurrence]. She also has versatile inborn skills thanks to that and
is well-suited for a special type of dungeon boss that copies acquired skills.
That
leaves three cards: Suzuka, Audrey ......, and Hesperides.
I
took out the Hesperides card and looked at its stats.
[Combat Power] 600
[Inborn Skills]
・Daughters
of Twilight: Three nymphs dwelling at the western edge of the world. They are a
single entity/card consisting of Aigle, Erytheia, and Hesperethusa. They appear
simultaneously as multiple individuals, and their combat power is distributed
among them. They are Lost only when all individuals are defeated. Contains
Singer, Farmer, and Maid skills.
(Singer: Contains the skills
necessary for a singer. Includes Singing, Playing Instruments, Dancing, and Precise
Movements.)
(Farmer: Contains the skills
necessary for a farmer. Includes cultivation, farming, livestock raising, and
collective action.)
(Maid: Contains the skills
necessary for a maid. Includes Cooking, Cleaning, Sexual techniques, and Etiquette.)
・Garden
of the Hesperides: Deploys Hera's orchard, said to be where the Hesperides
reside. The Garden of the Hesperides is said to bear golden apples that grant
immortality to those who eat them, and is home to the B-rank monster Ladon, who
guards them. While the golden apples in this garden do not actually grant
immortality, they have a powerful allure that draws in intruders. The apples temporarily grant those who eat
them the 'Knowledge of Survival'. Also, they are very delicious.
・High-Level
Earth Spirit: An earth spirit close to a low-level earth goddess. Simply by
existing, it blesses the earth and promotes plant growth. Contains Terrain
Manipulation and Geological Manipulation.
(Terrain Manipulation: Can
freely alter the surrounding terrain.)
(Geological Manipulation: Can
freely alter the surrounding geology. Can also create small amounts of precious
metals and gems from the earth.)
・Advanced
Auxiliary Magic
[Acquired skills]
・Obedience
・Intermediate-level
Storage: Has an internal space for storing things. Intermediate-level Storage is approximately
ten tatami mats1.
・Simple Temple2:
By drawing a magic circle on the ground, a simplified temple can be formed on
the spot. Within the temple, all stats are improved, continuous recovery is
granted, and the output of some skills is enhanced. Divine/holy attribute
skills have increased effect.
What
I'm hoping for from Hesperides is a copy of [Simple Temple].
[Simple
Temple] is an excellent territory/zone-based skill. Even though Hesperides
already possesses it, I'd like to have it duplicated on one of my
combat-oriented cards, considering I'll most likely never place this card on
the front line.
As
for the other skills, since higher-level deities likely have [Pride of Deity],
it's fine if [Obedience] is copied. And since [Intermediate-level Storage] is a
skill that's difficult to obtain despite its usefulness, it wouldn't hurt to
copy that as well.
Okay, I'll go with these three, including
Hesperides, as the cards to be copied.
"Okay, let's go.”
First,
I summoned the cards to be copied, replaced them with the combat team, equipped
Eliza with Dress, had Renge invoke Kokuanten, and made Mea use [Spiritual recurrence]…
After all the preparations, I was ready to challenge the Boss.
The
moment I stepped out of the safe zone and into their space, the enemy
immediately began to move, as if they had been waiting for me.
Nemain
began summoning her subordinates, Badb started drawing a magic circle on the
ground, and Morrigan stood in front of her sisters as the vanguard.
...Looking at them again, these sisters are
well-balanced with a vanguard, rear guard, and support.
While considering these things, I had Mea begin
summoning a succubus.
Initially,
we observed each other.
The
other side's strategy wouldn't be effective until they had more subordinates,
and Badb's skills were male-specific, so it was understandable that they
weren't moving aggressively.
However,
I didn't need to play along.
We
were both playing a waiting game, but I decided to make some preemptive moves.
『Myra,
Basilisk.』
『Yes!』
At
my command, Myra transformed into a gigantic serpent with a head resembling a
chicken.

The
Basilisks were a dragon that specialized in poison-based status abnormalities.
Their
deadly poison had a superior status ailment effect, partially ignoring
resistance, so it could take effect even on those with high resistance.
Basilisks
were saturated with this deadly poison, capable of poisoning not only those
they attacked, but also those who attacked them.
Furthermore,
the skill [Control Poison with Poison] allowed the Basilisks to heal themselves
with poison. The poison they produced kept them in a state of continuous
recovery, making their life force so robust that they could be considered more
formidable than typical dragon species.
On
the other hand, their offensive capabilities tend to be lower than those of
other dragons, making them endurance fighters who rely on abnormal status
effects and vitality to survive.
When
appearing alone, they would simply be a stubborn and annoying enemy. However,
when paired with other monsters, they would instantly shine, becoming valuable
as debuffers... That's the kind of creature they were.
The
same applied when they appeared as allies, like now.
Myra
twisted her gigantic body, over 40 meters long, and spat a poisonous, dark
green breath from her snout.
The
breath, perhaps derived from blizzard magic, was laced with ice particles that
froze the Dullahans' armor and poisoned the Banshees floating in the air,
sending them crashing to the ground.
The
Basilisk's breath, however, was not effective enough to take down all the
C-ranked Banshees and Dullahans3.
But,
if left alone, it would surely reduce the enemy's life force and hinder the
increase of their subordinates.
In
the meantime, we could steadily increase the number of our own subordinates…
The
enemy made a quick decision.
The
intimidation from Nemain and the others doubled at once, and the poisoned
Dullahans began to move more actively.
They
activated their special skill, [Feast of Destruction, Slaughter, and Victory].
One
of the Banshees, merged with a Dullahan, swooped down at me from the air.
My
shield, Eliza, stood in front of me.
Their
swords collided—and Eliza was blown away.
Fortunately,
due to the difference in skill, she seemed to have deflected most of the force,
but the sight still shocked me.
At
the same time, the logical part of my brain quickly calculated the situation.
For the doubled stat boost, let's consider it
as an offset to the full-sync combat power increase.
Eliza's combat power is 1680, plus half of
Dress's combat power, which is 400, and Dáinsleif, equivalent to 500 combat
power.
On the other hand, the opponents are Banshees
with a maximum combat power of 760, plus half of the Dullahans' combat power,
which is 400… That's a difference of 1420 for each.
Since equipping skills of the same type doesn't
stack, this should have been an evenly matched situation.
However,
the result was an overwhelming defeat in terms of raw power.
Does this confirm that Nemain has copied
[Breakthrough of Limits]?
Even with the copied [Breakthrough of Limits],
the fact that we can't defeat endless waves of lowly enemies equipped with full
gear... this skill is simply broken, even for a Trinity Deity.
No more playing around. It's time for me to use
my trump card too!
『Renge!』
I
felt a silent response to my call.
The
two Renge, Kisshouten and Kokuanten... were enveloped in light and merged into
one.
At
the same time, the air—no, space itself—began to tremble.
Sensing
an unusually strange aura, the goddesses stared with vigilance.
Soon,
as if emerging from a cocoon, a stunning maiden appeared.
Her
raven hair, streaked with crimson, cascaded down her back. Her form was lush
and feminine, with breasts that spoke of motherhood. Her face, a masterpiece of
nature, bore a striking resemblance to her daughter, Kisshouten.
Her
heavenly attire discarded, Kishimojin appeared as a goddess whose beauty was
almost sinful—— but her flawless features contorted in a mix of pain— yet it
was also tinged with an almost erotic allure.
『U......kuh......!』
『What's
wrong, Renge?!』
『...........
Hu~u. No… it's nothing. I just... almost got a little drunk.』
『That's...』
Are you sure you're okay ......?
『More
importantly, hurry up and give your order. Don't get all worked up over my nice
body.』
『I'm
not getting worked up.』
‘It
seems like she's still the usual Renge,’ I
thought to myself as I gave the order,
『...
Devour them all, Renge.』
『Roger....!』
Renge's
obsidian eyes turned golden and split vertically, like a beast's.
Skill—[Mirror
Image Divinity: Ferocious Spirit of Kishimojin]
A
manifestation of Kishimojin's ferocious spirit, this power embodied her dark
past of abducting and devouring other people's children to nourish her own.
The
effect was to devour all the subordinates
present in the field, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
In
all directions, everywhere, a tear in space—or rather, a 'mouth'—appeared.
The
'mouths' sucked in the subordinates with irresistible force, chewed them up,
swallowed them, and then vanished.
The
area became desolate at once, as the subordinates of both sides had been wiped
out.
But
that was only temporary. The skill [Mirror Image Divinity: Ferocious Spirit of
Kishimojin] does not have the effect of blocking the summoning of new
subordinates, unlike the skill of Selene and her companions.
And
the skill to devour subordinates was a trump card that could only be used once
a day.
Therefore,
the outcome of the battle had to be decided well in advance.
Skill—[Mirror
Image Divinity: Gentle Spirit of Kishimojin]
This
skill had the power to bring forth her own offspring (subordinates), nourished
by the devoured children (subordinates).
A
skill that permitted the summoning of B-rank monsters, Rakshasa
and Rakshasi4, in direct proportion to the number of familiars offered as
sacrifices.
Perhaps
because the summoning process involved a sacrifice, the subordinates that were spawned
were also created in a somewhat special way.

(Insanity-clad: All stats are

• Breakthrough of Limits
The
subordinates produced by Kishimojin have a skill called [Highest-level
dependent body], which allowed them to share the original's growth limit combat
power and one of their parent's acquired skills.
The
skill to be shared was, of course, [Breakthrough of Limits].
A
group of Rakshasa and Rakshasi, with a combat power of over 3,000, emerged from
the cracks in space with birth cries.
Outnumbered
at once, Nemain summoned new subordinates, but they were utterly outmatched.
The
combined combat power of Nemain's summoned subordinates was over 5,000: Banshee
(760 x 2) + Dullahan (800 ÷ 2) + Nemain (1600 x 2); while Morrigan and the rest
had over 6,000. However, due to the overwhelming numbers and the
self-destructive nature of the Rakshasa and Rakshasi, their life force quickly
dwindled.
Convinced
of victory at this sight, I was about to use Fate Manipulation while I still
had the chance, when I suddenly realized,
『Ah,
Oi ! Can
you use Kisshouten's power in your current form?!』
『Oh,
…that's no good!』
Renge
hurriedly undid her transformation.
Kishimojin
disappeared from the scene, as did her subordinates, the Rakshasas and
Rakshasis.
However,
the three sisters had already been fatally wounded, and their life force was on
the verge of depletion.
At
the very last moment, I managed to pull out the Hope Diamond and invoke Fate
Manipulation.
According
to the principle, 14 Garnets should be needed for a definite drop, but since
there was no time to adjust the number, I used slightly more than 20 Garnets
and threw them in all at once.
The
result was————
『T-
that was a close call...』
『Phew,
that was a close one!』
Where
the three sisters had been, there were now three cards.
I
plopped down, limp and weak.
If I had failed the drop on this one, it would
have been no joke...
Mea
and the others brought the cards of the three sisters to me as I was feeling
weak.
I
took them and checked their stats.

So Nemain is the only one who copied
[Breakthrough of Limits]. And, as I suspected, Kokuanten wasn't eligible for
copying.
Well, it can't be helped. If the other cards
had also copied [Breakthrough of Limits], we wouldn't have won so easily, and
even as it is, the skills are quite good… Though, [Pride of Deity] is a bit of
a concern.
While
I was checking the cards, Mea and the others started chatting excitedly with me,
"Renge's new skill is insane, isn't it?!
Being able to not only kill subordinates but also summon them is just unfair,
right?!"
"It's amazing. I was actually a little bit
scared."
Kishimojin's
skill was definitely a bit frightening.
It
was more like witnessing the savage side of deities.
So that was a top B-rank skill... almost an
A-rank skill, huh...
"Huh? Renge, you seem a bit unwell."
Then,
Mea noticed Renge's condition.
Certainly,
normally she would be all puffed up here, boasting in front of Mea.
“Ah... I'm a bit tired. It's really hard when
your spiritual level changes at the beginning."
“Aa- I can relate. The first time I used the
[Spiritual recurrence], it was hard for me too."
I see, so the transformation into Kishimojin
drains her spiritual energy, just like [Spiritual recurrence].
That means her transformation probably doesn't
last very long, especially while she's still getting used to it.
When
Renge just learned the [Spiritual recurrence], her transformation time was also
short, and then it gradually increased to the maximum of one hour.
Oh, speaking of [Spiritual recurrence]...
"Myra, you did a great job today."
"Yes! I am honored!"
The
Basilisk's poison forced the opponent to play their trump card early.
While we could have achieved the same result with Renge's Kokuanten, it was
strategically significant that we could force our opponent to reveal their hand
without using a limited-use skill.
Myra
had been consistently excellent.
Since
learning the four types of [Spiritual recurrence], she had been exceptionally
active, as if compensating for past frustrations, showcasing a level of
performance that exceeded all expectations.
From
tanking to buffing, debuffing, scouting, and mobility, Myra was now becoming
the next most versatile all-rounder after Eliza.
However,
there seemed to be someone who was jealous of Myra's active role...
『Mugghuggh......
isn't that a little strange? Why
is this recently powered-up fellow playing a bigger role than I, who just got a
new weapon?』
Suzuka
sent a resentful look at Myra through the Card Gear's vision.
Everyone
looked at her.
"...What are you talking about, Suzuka?
You've been playing an important role in our usual dungeon attacks."
In
fact, during our usual dungeon explorations, Suzuka, wielding the Daitōren, absolutely
dominated the dungeon monsters.
The Daitōren was an excellent
magic item that granted its user the unique skill of divine power.
These
include Psychokinesis for unconventional combat, Heavenly Ears to pick up
sounds throughout the area, Perception of Evil Intent (Other Mind Power) to
detect malice and prevent surprise attacks, Psychometry to recognize traps, and
the ability to inflict damage on spirit monsters... These skills alone provide
her with most of the abilities necessary to conquer a dungeon.
Empowered
by the Daitōren, Suzuka was effortlessly defeating C-rank enemies, making them
seem like insignificant prey.
Due
to her remarkable performance, she had earned the respect of her comrades and
had even been given the nicknames 'Suzuka the Sweeper'
and 'The Unstoppable Monster Slayer Suzuka.'
Moreover,
considering how much we've accommodated her jealousy by making the Daitōren
practically exclusive to her use... I wondered what she's complaining about.
As
we tilted our heads in confusion, Suzuka said with a frustrated look on her
face,
『That's
right! But somehow, I feel like I'm not being depicted enough! It feels like my
moments of glory are being completely cut out, Master!』
Good grief... I wondered what she was going to
say.
"What nonsense are you saying... This
isn't a manga or a light novel, you know? Right? Renge?"
I
turned to Renge, seeking her agreement, but contrary to my expectations, she
was giving Suzuka a sympathetic look.
"...Don't worry. I think, probably, there
will be a boost soon."
『…Really?
I'll believe you, you little brat.』
"Since Dress and Myra got boosts, you're
probably next in line, considering the cycle."
...What on earth are you talking about?
Oh oh, I need to collect the Disappointment Box
now.
Well, I doubt anything good besides the conquer
reward is inside anyway.
Thinking
like that, I opened the Disappointment Box...
"Oh...!?"
Surprisingly,
there was a rare bite in the Disappointment Box.
" This is...?"
A short spear... I guess?
It
was about one meter long. Its tip was fashioned into a simple knife-like blade,
while the shaft was intricately carved with images of leaves, a wolf, a horse,
and a snake, seamlessly interwoven.
I
initially judged it to be a spear because of the pointed tip, but upon closer
inspection, it had a unique construction, gradually thickening towards the
opposite end, and the section where the bottom should have been was a hollow...
or rather, shaped like some kind of vessel.
『Hmm,
isn't this a staff rather than a spear?』
"Ah, a staff, huh."
I see, that makes more sense.
『The
design features a wolf, a horse, a snake, and... aconite?
That's quite a combination.』
"Mmm, I wonder what this item is derived
from."
『Well...
it feels like it might be from a deity symbolizing magic or death.』
While
Athena and I were discussing the staff, I noticed Mea, who usually doesn't get
involved in these kinds of discussions, had come closer and was peering at the
staff.
"...What's wrong, Mea? Did you notice
something?"
"Ah, Master. I think, maybe, this... might
be my key item?"
"Really?!"
To
think that Mea also had another [Spiritual recurrence]...
How fortunate to get it at this moment—no,
wait!
I
rushed to check the number of Garnets used.
There's no way such good fortune could happen
by chance! If it wasn't a coincidence, then...!
I
looked into the pouch on my waist, and there they were: all the Garnets were
shattered.
As I thought, the excess good luck from using
too many Garnets had gone to the Disappointment Box...
…No, that's also strange.
Just
like how using the Hope Diamond prevents the Garnets from shattering, any
excess good luck would remain unused.
If it were Luck Manipulation, that's one
thing... But with Fate Manipulation, which can control all good luck energy,
the excess doesn't automatically flow somewhere else.
That's why I boldly threw in all the Garnets I
had.
Yet, all the Garnets shattered, which means...
“It was used.”
The will residing within Renge automatically
allocated that amount of good luck to the drop.
Why Mea's key item...? Does that mean I'll need
it from now on?
Or...... did they try to get something else and
failed?
『Eh...
that's the boost?! 』
While
I was lost in thought, Suzuka's somewhat askew remark echoed through the shrine
grounds.
[TIPS] Multiple Spiritual Recurrence
Cards
with two or more [Spiritual recurrence] can maintain their transformed state
for a longer duration and switch between different forms within that time.
The
relationship between the transformation time of [Spiritual recurrence] and its
'charging' is similar to the special move/attack gauge in fighting games.
Unlike
individuals with a single [Spiritual recurrence] ability, those with multiple
[Spiritual recurrence] have multiple 'transformation gauges'. Although they can transform as long as a
single gauge is full, the time required to fill each gauge is the same (if it
takes one day to fill a single gauge, it would take Myra four days to fill all
four), and they cannot select only one gauge and leave the remaining three
(once they transform, they use all the gauges).
