Chapter 606 Good Harvest



-----

The clouds were completely dark, and the entire sky stopped bathing the Cactus forest with sun. Rain started pouring down endlessly as it started to weaken the Fiery Grizzlies almost instantly. The entire area, which had large and dense quantities of fire attribute mana, which strengthened the Fiery Grizzlies a lot, was quickly drown into water.

The Fiery Grizzlies weren't immune to water either, and they immediately sensed their bodies growing colder and colder. For fire attribute monsters, going cold might be fatal as their very bodies require these high quantities of heat to properly function!

Of course, for such strong D+ Rank Monsters as these, it is not fatal… but it will weaken them very, very severely!

"Everyone! NOW!" I roared, as the Fiery Grizzlies felt the weakest and panicked, the rest of the students jumped into battle, led by Clarice.

"They're weakened now! While the Rain lasts, crush them all!" Clarice jumped into battle while riding a Fenrir, swinging her axe around and attacking.

The other students also joined and started fighting. At the end we still had to weaken the before fighting them head-on. I suppose that bet we had might end up being canceled in that case.

"Swamp Man, come out now! It is all wet just like you love it! Proliferate and expand around!" Laughed Elianna, summoning her gigantic Swamp Man who feed on the water.

"GRUOOOHHH!"

The mass of seaweed and other plants in the shape of a man quickly began growing larger and larger. His endless vines trapped several Fiery Grizzlies within its own body and started crushing them and slowly draining them of their blood and life energy.

"I don't really like fighting while its raining, but there's no helping it anyways!" Arthuria said, swinging her powerful holy sword and unleashing devastating slashing attacks made of light aura, which easily sliced apart the arms of a Fiery Grizzlies mercilessly.

SLASH! SLAAASH!

Her fighting style was the most interesting. It seemed she came from a family of knights that specialize on something named "Holy Sword Arts" and utilize it to slay demons and monsters. Seeing her movements and techniques helped me make my own techniques in the future, as I needed to practice more sword techniques of this caliber if I ever want to properly utilize the Holy Sword of Light Skill I have.

"GRAAAH…! GRUOOHH!"

The Fiery Grizzlies were surprisingly quite the cowards once things didn't went their way. The monsters immediately turned their backs on us and started running four legged, trying to get as far as they could from us and the rain.

However, we weren't going to let this happen at all. Elianna and Eric worked together using their Spirits, as large quantities of vines, branches, and seaweed surged from the ground, grabbing all the bears, and dragging them towards us.

Meanwhile, I used my Abyssal Blood-sucking Vines to drag them near us, weakening them and then shooting them several times with Freezing Bullets, which left frozen spots over all their bodies, weakening them even further.

I also noticed the giggling Ashen using his Squid's special magical powers to manipulate space and drag the bears towards us.

"[Gravity Attraction]!"

FLUOOOSH!

It was the simple ability to pull things or targets towards him, but it would not always be good, even less for someone so weak as him, who specializes at magic alone. He can only properly use this once he's surrounded by many physical fighters and tanks. It seemed interesting though, I might end up implementing this spell he uses with my own Demon Eye of Gravity, though that's a trump card I won't use right now.

"Kill them! Don't let any alive!" I commanded, as everyone continued the massacre of Fiery Grizzlies mercilessly.

It wasn't anything exciting anymore once there wasn't much of a challenge at slashing them away. Though most of the students were still struggling and many were being hurt even as the Fiery Grizzlies were weakened. They were just too weak, it was frustrating, but ultimately, everything ended in under half an hour.

Ding!

[You and your Party have [Fiery Grizzlies (D+ Rank)] x64!]

[You earned 1600000 EXP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 40 to Level 41!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You earned bonus skill points and stat points!]

[You earned bonus skill proficiency!]

[Your Tamed Monster [Ruby] has reached Level 12!]

[Your Tamed Monster [Blood] has reached Level 40!]

"Raar!"

"Woof!"

"Ohh, Ruby you've finally hit level 12, leveling for you has become quite hard now that you're a dragon, huh?" I laughed.

"Raar…" Ruby sighed.

"And Blood, you're now max level, finally." I sighed. "Being old really made you level up super slow. But now it should be possible to evolve you soon."

"Woof!" Blood seemed thrilled about that, wagging his red-colored tail.

"My little Blood is finally evolving! Yaaay!" Eleanora celebrated, giving Blood head pats. "Who is a good boy? Who is a good boy?!"

"Woof! Awoo~!" Blood was Eleanora's beloved pet more than mine.

Ah, and about me, I almost hit Level 42, I am only off a few thousand EXP more, what a pity. If the rest of the Grizzlies, which I've counted with the Huginn and Falcos I sent might be around a hundred more, and with the demons included… I might actually reach max level today.

"Phew, we're finally done and the rain stopped too…" Sighed Eric. "It seems it wasn't going to last for too long!"

"Yeah, but it has also weakened the entire area, and it might last for a few more hours as well. The other Fiery Grizzlies should also be very weakened by now." I said. "Now, let's quickly make the coats using the Grizzlies fur and skin!"

"Oh, yeah, right away!" Eric nodded.

"B-Blake, can you dismantle them like y-you did back in the dungeon?" Alberta wondered.

"Yeah, leave it to me." I nodded, quickly storing all the bear corpses inside of my inventory and then dismantling them into several other "items".

"Here." I quickly brought them out, over twenty enormous pieces of pelt, ready for the manufacturing of coats.

"A-Alright! L-Let's show everyone the power of the Sewing Club!" Alberta seemed overly excited.
