The Summoner Is Going Chapter 120 Part2

Translator: Cryus　Editor: Weasalopes

We're standing right in front of the Deva Statue.
I've prepared in every way I can think of.
Sense Magic…
Physical Enchant spells…
And my Tonfas of Torture.
I bet both Deva Statues are going to start moving.
I don't sense any magic coming from them though.

But I sense some magic coming from the door.
It's keeping the door sealed.
I wonder what's causing it.
Oh well.
I guess I'll find out after.

「Unlock!」

I sensed magical energy coming from both statues.

They're coming.
They're here.

Deva King (Gyo)　Lv.2
Deva　Enemy Target　Active
Battle Position: Ground　Fire Attribute

Deva King (Un-Gyo)　Lv.2
Deva　Enemy Target　Active
Battle Position: Ground　Earth Attribute

Wait, I thought they were just Deva Statues.
I guess they're the same thing.
And why the “Deva” in their stats?
Oh well. It doesn't matter.

Their size is the main concern.
Up close, they really do look intimidating.
They're taller than the Mezu by a head.
Their bodies look as tough as the Gozus too.
They really look strong.

Maybe there's no info popup because they aren't event monsters?
If that's the case, then that's good.

《If thou art deceased, then thou shalt undergo the ten trials of the afterlife.》

《If thou art alive, then leave at once.》

《If thou seeketh the scriptures, then prove thyself.》

《If thou stealeth the scriptures, then thou shalt be destroyed.》

《Wilt thou prove thy strength?》

《Wilt thou leave this place?》

《Give us thy answer.》

There's the info popup.
What's this?
I hadn't even responded.
They're attacking me already.

I left the Deva King (Gyo) to my Monster Summons.
I'm taking on the other one.
This one's only one head bigger than the Mezu.
But its head itself is huge.
Which makes it feel a lot bigger.
It may be slightly bigger than the Mezu, but I can't let my guard down.

「Lower DEF!」

The Deva King (Gyo) is right next to me, so I cast the spell on it.
There's a small marker layered on top of its red marker.
I looks like the spell worked.

The Deva King (Un-Gyo) is swinging its weapon down on me.
It's quick.
And it's strong.
But its weapon is the most worrisome.
It looks like a tokko. 1
It's like a double-edged short spear.
But the front tip resembles a sword.
There's a black l.u.s.ter on that tip.
It's as if it was made from Obsidian stones.
I can sense intense magical energy coming from there.

「Lower DEF!」

I managed to avoid its attack and cast the spell on it.
There's a small marker layered over its red marker.

I'm casting my next spell.
Who's having the worse situation now?
It's Jeticho.

It's just as I thought.
He's already lost 30% HP.
I made him fall back and stay close to me.

「Resist Fire!」

Heather is releasing some magical energy towards Jericho.
She cast Physical Enchant: Wind to raise his AGI, allowing him to move even faster.
She's providing support pretty well.
As long as the next spell works in time, it should be fine.
But I have to watch out for the Deva Statue (Um)'s attacks.

I bent down and dodged its horizontal strike.
I took the chance to hit the top of its foot with my tonfa.
I used the other tonfa to strike its kneecap.
A normal opponent would have completely lost control of its legs.
But this monster isn't normal.
It's still walking normally.

「Fire Heal!」

Healing spells tend not to work too well on Jericho.
And potions barely work on him at all.
I know it's completely pointless, even if I doused him in potions.
That's why I have to use healing spells.
He's been a pretty good tank so far, so it's very rare that his HP has fallen this quickly.
The Gyo is also using the same weapon.
Jeticho has caught it, and is trying to stop the statue from swinging the weapon.
But the tip of the tokko burst out in flames.
It looks like a powerful attack.
Volff and Obsidian are attacking it while Jericho is trying to hold off its attacks.
That's good.
Keep at it.

「Delay!」

After I cast the spell on the Gyo, Heather landed on my shoulder.
She's infusing magical energy into me.
My body feels lighter.
That was good.
Now I can focus on the Un-Gyo.
My attack seems to have worked.
Its HP has decreased by about 10%
Wait, only 10%?
That's still good enough for me.
As long as I can see the effects, I'm fine with it.

It's trying to stab me.
That's the kind of attack I should watch out for.
But it's also my best chance.
I'm striking its weapon arm with my tonfa.
I'm crushing its groin with my other tonfa.
Now that I'm up close, I'm using a leg sweep.

It's not moving.
I'm pretty sure that was the leg I struck before.
It's a tough one indeed.

This time, it's making another swing.
I'm dodging sideways.
I'm hitting its wrist downwards with my tonfa.
It's still not letting go of the tokko.

「Lower Offense!」

This spell worked on it too,
It's coming at me with another thrust.
Not this again.
It's making a downward swing.
And now a horizontal swing.
Then a thrust.
It's becoming repet.i.tive.
Isn't it going to change its pattern a little?

I strike another blow at its writ.
I'm adding another knee strike.
Coupled with an elbow strike.

Using a cross strike has allowed me to break its wrist.
It's letting go of the tokko.
Finally.
I kick the tokko some distance away, and face off squarely against the Un-Gyo.

「Delay!」

This spell is working too.
It seems to be going well
But its movements have changed too.
It's raising its leg and stomping on the ground.
Again.
And again.
Just like a sumo wrestler.

It's switching between offense and defense.
I'm closing in on the monster.
It's reacting to my movements.
It's lowering its waist and charging straight at me.
Just like a face-off during a sumo match.

Heather is shooting a Wind Blade at the monster.
I'm kicking it.
I'm using an ankle sweep.
I used enough momentum to make it work.
This monster is really heavy though.
My leg is starting to feel numb.

I wish it were just a sumo match, because it would've ended there.
This monster still has a lot of HP.
I'm feeling a shiver run down my spine.
Is it fear?
Or is it joy?
Probably both.

The Gyo and Jericho are still in the middle of their endurance contest.
I don't have much to worry about on his side.
With Volff and Obsidian attacking them, I'm sure it'll end eventually.
In fact, its HP has already dropped by about 60%.

What about this Un-Gyo?
It'll depend on me.
Obviously.

Right.
It doesn't matter how I fight it.
Or what I use against it.
Weapons, spells, and my martial arts moves.
I'm beginning to enjoy this.
Oh no.

I'm sure I'm making an evil smile right now.

I'm pretty sure about it.

I'm sure I look like a monster now.

Without a doubt, I'm enjoying making it suffer.

I think that was a pretty good fight
Even after it fell, it still put up a fight.
Its hands were broken, but It started using what remained of its arms instead.
At the very end, it tried using only headb.u.t.ts.
Obviously, I didn't dare to take its attacks head on.
I avoided them.
More accurately, I countered its attacks by pounding its head with my tonfas from the side.
I had to repeat it 3 times before it stopped moving.

That's one of the two Deva Kings. It disappeared.
Along with its tokko.
No.
It reverted to its original form.

At first, it was just a normal Deva Statue.
It's like the battle never happened.

《If thou art dead, then there is no salvation for thee.》

《If thou art alive, then there is naught but avarice.》

《If thou indulgest in thy sins, then there is no path for you in the cycle of transmigration.》

《Once again, we ask thee of your sins.》

《Once again, we preach the truth to thee.》

《Once again, we shalt ask thee.》

It's finally over, I guess?
It looks like it.
I'm really tired.
But it feels good.

That's a lot of level ups.
I didn't defeat a lot of monsters, but I was up against a strong one.
I guess it was worth it.
I'm looking forward to my next monster summon.

Oops.
What should I do about my stat increase?
I'll add 1 point to INT.

I'll increase my SPI next.

《You have gained 2 Bonus Points. You currently have a total of 12 Bonus Points.》

But…
This wasn't all.

《Your Monster Summon『Jericho』has leveled up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Jericho did most of the work this time.
I'm glad he leveled up.
It's going to be really helpful.

His SPI has been increased.
That's rare.
I'm adding 1 point to his AGI.
Judging from this fight, it's a good move, right?

I wonder if Jericho will get his cla.s.s change soon, too.
He's been leveling up quickly because we've been fighting tough monsters.
I'm not complaining though.

The last event monster I fought dropped some items too.
I'm looking forward to this one.
But it looks strange.
Here it is.
