Chapter 157.2 - Operation Crossing The Bridge 2
Simple Summoning CircleCalling forth familiarity using the simple version of the simplified summoning circle. The reason the magic circle looks so eerie is that it is a kind of curse.
SkeletonBasic form of familiarity. The reason for its black color is a curse.
Tuning Wave(Echo) A method for subordination or mutual understanding by tuning one's mana with the other party. It is the basis for spirit magic.
While such an explanation appeared in my mind just like the usual curse's explanation, it felt different to me for some reason. I mean, these three skills were supposed to be a Summoner's skill.
Is this the basic skill for summoner?
Awesome!
In short, the Fool's Cane allowed me to use the basic skill of the vocation of the skull that I fixed on the cane.
It might allow me to learn more skills from the other vocations as I kept using it despite being a shaman, a feature similar to growth type cheat But since my vocation was originally a weak vocation, I didn't think that I would grow into some sort of TUEE character despite all the new skills I got from the cane.
There was also a high possibility that I could only use the basic skill of each vocation, even if for example there was a mastery level of each skill, it was nothing more than how skillfully I used that said skill. In the first place, my experience had told me that I shouldn't expect something easy like growth type cheat since my vocation was the kind of vocation that gave me a new skill after surpassing trial and tribulation.
But of course, it didn't mean that I should just dismiss the effect of basic skills since even if it was basic, it was still a useful skill depending on how I used it.
Kay then, let's try this so-called summoner's power.
===
Yup, these guys are small fries after all.
I led those thirty black skeletons for a field test and as a result, more than half of them were lost against six high zombies.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
GARURU, GAGAGA
KISHAA~
In the end, it was the combination of Rem and Arachne Rem that defeated the zombies.
I'd expected this result to some extent, but I'd never expected for them to be this weak.
Or rather, they're way too weak it seems their inside really isn't Rem.
And as if to affirm my suspicion, Rem the first gave a hand sign as if telling me that I was right.
The black skeleton called with Fool's Cane's summon art was slow and way too fragile. I mean, Rem who accompanied me all the way until this point had reached the point at which she could move way faster than those black skeletons even in her black skeleton form. Well, I couldn't deny the fact that high zombies' power and speed were above the black skeletons, but their movements were too monotonous, defeating them should be fairly simple for the black skeletons.
Another game-like skill huh. Sure enough, Summoner's playstyle was something along the lines of using this Echo in taming weak monsters first and gradually moving on to stronger ones as they gained more masteries of their skills, which in turn increased their combat potential.
Trying this skill on a strong monster might be difficult but it might be possible if I try this skill on high zombies.
It had been a while since I did this kind of experiment since that time when I was experimenting with poison. Arachne Rem was really useful during this kind of experiment.
WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
And then, she captured one of those zombies who raised a death cry in less than thirty minutes.
Since it's more powerful than goma, she wrapped that zombie into a cocoon thread and hung it upside-down on a tree.
Well then, it's experiment time, Hung man-kun.
I was facing the hung-up high zombie, poking Fool's Cane at it.
===
One hour later, the zombie that was hanging upside-down on a tree branch had already transformed into what you might call a "lump of mysterious meat".
,,, Failure huh.
The high zombie's taming attempt failed. It was an utter failure.
I could invoke Echo with no problem. The problem was its effect, it was simply too weak.
Dammit, it doesn't work on such weaklings, I guess taming is pretty much impossible.
Or rather, I was simply unsuitable for this magic. Or else, it might be just how unique mind-type magic was. Since its effects were hardly shown, it was really difficult to gauge the effects of this magic.
If I'd to explain the effect of mind magic, I guess it would be like paint.
The main function of this magic was to paint my enemy's mind with my color. As long as I could paint the majority of my opponent's mind with my color, I would pretty much succeed in turning them into my subordinate.
In short, paint it my color!
If it does not work on high zombie, I guess it won't work on govu either, and I don't think it'll work on red dog and goma either.
Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that there was no monster that I could tame?
Y-You must be kidding me right
Oioioi, this magic can't even tame monsters despite being a skill that is supposed to be able to do so, just what kind of shitty game is this!
