Chapter 187: Ix's Weapon and the Soul Corridor
Returning to the store, I asked Wako to repair my clothes, as she immediately said she would. After that, Ruin-san and the others gave me a lot of the stones I requested as a reward for my help in the quest. I used those stones to make 100 magic stones. Then, a message came on the screen.
Your alchemy level has reached 10. You have acquired Shape Change
What is it? This? I tried it with a stone and it just changed the shape of the stone. If I make it sharp, will it do more damage? It's a mystery.
Despite the unexpected, I successfully finished making 100 magic stones and headed to the Ex Machina battleship with Ix.
First, I check the released compartment. The simulation room and training room have been opened.
The simulation room is a holographic representation of what Ex Machina's weapons look like. Thank goodness for that.
According to the hologram, the energy dagger was a kunai-like weapon with a magic blade. The next energy blade I'm aiming for this time is a sword. The blade of the sword has a magic blade. Finally, the energy gun was a rifle-type gun.
I'm fascinated by guns, but I think I'll go for the energy blade first.
The training room was a place for duels. It was also a place where you could do various things such as shooting training. I used to go out to the field every time I trained, but I think I'll train here from now on. It had all the facilities I needed.
After checking the compartments, we headed to the first factory. First up was the released weapon.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Check again in the simulation room.
The thrusters emit magic power from their backs and can jump high. It doesn't seem to be able to fly.
The radar has an extended range and detects magic power, but whether the detection of magic power is useful is a mystery.
The energy gun sword is a sword and gun in one. It's pretty cool.
The energy blaster is a magic radiator...or flamethrower as I imagine it.
The wire gun has a wire that comes out of its fist and sticks into a wall and you can move around the wall by winding the wire. You see this in movies about thieves.
The anchor hook is a rope with an anchor hook attached that shoots out from your wrist and can be used to hook onto things. If you have a wire gun, I don't think you need one.
The stun gun was just what it sounded like. The stun cable extends from your hip and electrocutes you when you touch the electrode on the end.
The anesthesia needle looks like it's firing a needle. The flare is supposed to brighten up the surroundings and attract monsters.
The energy cutter is an arm that extends from the back and a fast-spinning cutter blade-like thing made of magic power does the cutting.
The energy shotgun looks like something that disperses lasers over a short distance.
I'm curious about the energy gun sword...but for now, let's make a manufacturable energy blade. Ix instructed me to place 200 iron ore and 100 magic stones on the conveyor belt and when I selected the energy blade on the panel, the conveyor belt moved and carried me to the weapon making machine.
Not good, I'm getting excited. And then
Ding!
The energy blade is brought in on the conveyor belt.
Wait a minute...give me back my hopes! What's with this 3-minute microwave cooking thing...I feel like I've been betrayed.
Well, no matter. It's this energy blade. It's carefully packed in its sheath. I'm going to appraise it.
Energy Blade: Ex Machina exclusive weapon Weight 20
This weapon generates a blade of magic power on the blade of the sword and slashes through the enemy. The more energy it consumes, the higher its attack power becomes, and it can generate magic blades all over the sword.
The more energy you consume, the more powerful your attack becomes.
"The energy blade is registered to the machina armament. I will use it"
A blade of magic power is formed on the blade of the sword. I want to use it, but I can't. I'd like to use it too, but I don't think it's possible with Ex Machina's special weapon.
"How does it feel to use it? Ix"
"No problem. I can join the battle at any time"
Is this Ix's way of begging me? Well, I know the feeling. I haven't been able to make her fight for a long time. But I guess I have other things to do now.
I came back to Freetia. And I headed to the Beastmasters Guild. There's something I need to do before I can magic stone summon. I need to check the synthetic summoning.
I found out that the Eagle is used for two types of synthetic summoning. And I had two of them. Rex and Route. I guess I was right.
Hix is three to four meters long. The wings are probably six meters long. It's strong overall, but the most notable skill is its riding skill. As I read in the description, it seems that I can fly on Hix.
So I bought some equipment and got on Hix. It was the same equipment as Liqueur's, but it was for a Lesser Griffon, so of course it was more expensive, but it was a necessary expense.
Let's go on our first adventure in the sky! When I give the signal, its wings flap and its huge body soars into the sky.
Wow! I can see all of Freetia! Ah, I can see Lieblich. But flying around in the sky of the country seems like a bad idea, so I head for the sky of the field.
It's a nice breeze. And Hix, but as I explained, it's almost like running in the sky. This is something I can't get enough of.
While I'm enjoying my walk in the sky, black shadows are heading towards us. I remembered that there are Crows in the sky of Freetia. So let's go with my debut in the sky and Hix's first battle.
"First battle! Let's go! Hix!"
"Peee!"
Hix accelerated and attacked the Crows with a whirlwind. With one blow, the Crows crashed.
And I thought I was going to die too. I thought I was used to accelerating with Liqueur and Darley, but the speed was completely different. I thought the wind pressure on my body would tear me apart.
I looked at my vitality and saw that it was decreasing...looks like I need equipment for aerial combat. Speaking of which, what happens when we fly high?
As a result, I felt like I was suffering from mountain climbing sickness and my vitality was reduced again. It's not safe to go any further, so we head back to Freetia.
After returning safely from my walk in the sky, I said to Hix again.
"I'll look forward to working with you from now on. Hix"
"Pee~"
When I said that, he rubbed his face against mine. I stroked Hix, feeling a hint of Hiyori and Rex in his appearance.
After that, I returned to the Beastmasters Guild to magic stone summon.
