Chapter 335

It takes a few hours to cover everything that will be necessary knowledge for Daisy, but she quickly understands about the nature of the system and her limited ability to interact with it.

Her inventory is a whole four slots, so she can’t actually carry much, but it’s better than nothing. At least she can equip and unequip her clothing, which resets it to perfectly clean. That alone is a wonder to Daisy, and she has declared it the world’s most useful function.

Cain also granted her Misha’s Tailoring skill, to see if it would activate a system in a Puppet with a soul, but no such luck. He will have to try again, using a soul that already had a system interface to see what happens.

She can accept the skill though, unlike the premade puppets, and Cain considers what else she might need to know. He can add two more Skills to her Puppet body for now, so he could round it out with enchanting and something else. Or maybe he could grant her a useful spell? That seems like a good idea.

With Misha’s input, they decide on adding the Dark Enchantress ability [Random Enchantment] which should add low level bonuses to items that she makes, as well as the Forest Keeper Aura [Natural Growth] that Cain learned from a transfer he recorded on the way in. It doesn’t only work on people, it also heals damaged plants around the caster.

Daisy was overjoyed at these new skills, not only because they let her live her dream life making high quality and pretty clothes, but also because she could now be helpful if anyone was injured.

It’s not a large amount of healing, though they could increase it by giving Daisy equipment with healing bonuses on it, but it’s enough that any scrapes or cuts she might get will heal in seconds, a great benefit to any craftsperson.

The fact that the wilted flowers arranged in a vase near her hammock perked back up when she approached into range of her aura sent Daisy into a fit of joyful laughter. “Look, just being around me makes the flowers prettier now. I think I like this system that your world has.”

“It’s your world now too. But get some sleep, or do you not need it as a Puppet? I’m not sure how that works for a Puppet with a soul.”

“I’m not sure. I know I’m not sleepy yet, but I just got to this world. I could stay up all night and see when I get tired?” Daisy suggests and Cain nods his agreement. 

“We’ll leave you here with a bit of work to do tomorrow morning while we go to the dungeon then. Don’t wander too far, since I don’t know what areas of the castle are off limits to visitors, and I don’t want to get everyone in trouble. We already had a problem with the Queen, I couldn’t fix her problem as well as she hoped.”

Misha makes her up a sewing kit in one of the makeup bags that they bought in Torguga, since the Bunny only has four inventory slots, and then passes her two types of cloth for whatever they’ve arranged for her to make tomorrow.

If she were crafting from a recipe, she could just use the skill and the item would form from the materials, but to make a unique item or one whose recipe you don’t know, you have to actually cut and sew everything, which is what Daisy will be doing all day tomorrow.

For Today’s visit to the Dungeon, they’re again joined by Mary and Princess Paige, who are both eager to see how much of a power level they can get with two Puppet Masters in the same group.

Cain decides that it’s more efficient to just start with the Heavenly Hosts active and a full dose of Seraphim, but he does take the time to teach Mary a wide variety of Plague Demons first. They’re strong, durable, and as a bonus, a number of them can summon. She can’t use the Epic Plague Mothers yet, but there is a Plague Spreader that summons small plague spawns in large numbers, which is even better for their current goals.

The summons have just cleared the first of the villages, and the group is headed for the forest to the North to have them clear the same area as last run when they hear not one but two ear splitting howls at the same time. Both the Obsession and the Wrath Demon Bosses have found the Seraphim armies at the same time.

Cain isn’t concerned about it at first, then his keen sense for magic manipulation detect a disturbance in the flow around him, coming directly for Mary. Cain launches himself at the point of disturbance, spear first, just as the Legendary Obsession Demon arrives.

The strike drives the creature’s claws wide of their mark, and the Puppet Master collapses, body deeply gouged but intact, her head attached by the merest of threads.

Cain forces the Demon back while Misha resurrects and then heals their fallen member, canceling one of his summons to pull a set of Seraphim Inquisitors into himself for additional stats.

“Misha, explain to her how Merger works. This guy is tough, but she shouldn’t have gotten one shotted like that.” Cain calls and the demon sneers at him, attacking with six armed fury in retaliation for foiling his plan to cut the Puppet Master into Pieces that couldn’t be resurrected.

It hasn’t yet realized that Cain is the true threat here, it simply recognized the Puppet Master Class, and the fact it was being targeted by Summons, so it attacked the target that would be the most likely to end the threat.

With the Merged Seraphim Inquisitors and the additional range of his spear, Cain is holding his own against the five meter tall, but lanky demon. The number of arms is concerning, but he is a small target, so it is hard to effectively use them all at once, and Cain has forced it away from the rest of the group where it might be a major problem.

A few seconds later, one of the Ancient Quality Seraphim arrives alone, its armies sent forward to clear the dungeon while it assists Cain. Two on one, the Obsession Demon no longer stands a chance, and the flurry of bladed attacks, combined with Holy Light begins to make quick work of the Legendary Assassin type demon.
