Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

It was the evening before the decisive battle, during dinner.With Abigayle by his side, Allen noticed something about the alcohol Rosalina was drinking.

"By the way, does Nestirad ever drink alcohol, eat food, or sleep?"

"Alcohol and food?"

In ancient cultures, getting fierce creatures like the Yamata no Orochi drunk and attacking them while they slept was a common strategy.

"Well, there were times when sacrifices were made, but I’ve heard that it never really worked out. Nestirad does occasionally stop its activities, but the cause is unknown. At the very least, we’ve never been able to restrict its actions through our own efforts."

According to what the warden Abigayle had mentioned several times, the spirit beast Nestirad was like a natural disaster.

(He’s been facing off against Nestirad for about 20 years as the fortress’s chief warden. He probably got detailed information from the previous chief warden. There’s likely no mistake in this information.)

Abigayle, who wasn’t even 40 years old yet, was impressive, though perhaps young for a member of the dragonkin, who were said to live for a thousand years.Perhaps in the divine realm, there was a saying that dragons grow up quickly just like gourds.But he had surely heard the specifics of Nestirad, the disaster of the spiritual disturbance, from his predecessor.

"..."

The companions silently listened to the conversation between Allen and Abigayle.They understood that Allen was making a final effort to gather any remaining information that might help in defeating Nestirad.

"Alcohol doesn't work, sacrifices don't work, and although it does rest, we don’t know the cycle or the reason. So, we’ll have to fight it head-on."

(In the end, the strategy is brute force and a full-frontal assault.)

Allen opened his Grimoire and reviewed his progress.

Allen went over his own stats.

[The 10 places with a [Nest] from a Bird A summon]1 Rodan Village, in the chief's house2 Latash's Magic Academy, in Allen's Army's base3 Rosenheim, in the Queen's palace4 S Rank Dungeon, in Allen's Army's base5 Heavy User Island, in Allen's Army's base6 Divine Realm, in the fort near Boaso7 Divine Realm, in the research facility of the God of Magic Isiris8 Divine Realm, in the Earth Labyrinth9 Divine Realm, in the fort in the Paradise of Primordial Beasts (where the dragonkin and beastmen are hunting for Spirit Stones)10 Divine Realm, in the Divine Arena

(The Blessing of Tsubamen is excellent, but I should keep it to a minimum. I’ll need to exchange more Faith Points with the God of Magic Isiris to get more teleportation destinations in the divine realm, so I don’t need to manage them myself. Having to keep track of the teleportation points while managing the number of cards... It reminds me of my past life.)

Allen organized his cards in preparation for the battle tomorrow.The placement of [Nests] using the Bird A’s summon's Special Skill was limited to one place per card.

The [Nests] could teleport even an army of ten thousand at once, making them some of the most useful Special Skills.

Each of the Bird A summons possessed abilities that could overwhelm even the most talented individuals born once in a generation.

However, the number of Bird A summon cards required to place [Nests] also took up valuable space in his holder.

In his past life as Kenichi, Allen had struggled with the limited slots available for saving teleportation points in the games he played.

The blessing of the Bird summons provided Intelligence and Agility, making them very compatible with Allen’s combat style.Intelligence increased the power of Special Skills when fused with Graham.Agility made it easier for Allen, who had low Endurance, to avoid fatal attacks.

But neglecting other stats like Attack, Strength, and Endurance wasn’t an option.

During the month Shea spent in her trial, Allen focused on his growth.While conquering the Earth Labyrinth, he also assisted the dragonkin in the fortress built to hunt ghosts in the Paradise of Primal Beasts, enhancing his equipment and Skill Experience.

As a result, Allen exchanged 200 billion Faith Points and obtained two Spiritual Power Recovery Rings S.

[New equipment obtained by exchanging 200 billion Faith Points]:Spiritual Power Recovery Ring S: Restores 3% of Spiritual Power per second, two ringsHis Generation skill earned 100 billion Skill Experience Points, finally reaching Skill Level 9 on its first cycleHowever, when the second cycle was unsealed it reset to Skill Level 1.

(There was no new summon unlocked with Generation 2 at first)

[Number of summons unlocked with each cycle of Generation]-8 for the 1st cycle-7 for the 2nd cycle (currently here, about to unlock the 7th)-6 for the 3rd cycle-5 for the 4th cycle-4 for the 5th cycle-3 for the 6th cycle-2 for the 7th cycle-1 for the 8th cycle

(I obtained some strange staff. It looks like the staff a buddhist monk or someone like that would carry.)

Allen looked at the card of the [ - ] A summon, the final creation of the first cycle of Generation.Unlike the sealed S Rank [ - ], this one could be created normally.It was a golden staff named [Gaise Tenjaku].He had given it to Merus, but there was no change in Merus’s stats, and he could not wield it.Since it was still sealed, Allen could check its status in the Grimoire, but further analysis was impossible.

The [ - ] A summon that looks like a golden staff:[Species] -[Rank] A[Name] Gaise Tenjaku[Strength] 30000[Spiritual Power] 10000[Attack] 30000[Endurance] 10000[Agility] 10000[Intelligence] 10000[Luck] 10000[Blessing] All stats +2000[Special Skills] Divine Execution, Staff Wielding (9)[Awakened Skill] All of Nature

(Does this mean the next S-rank summon beast to join will be a monk? Well, I can’t figure out anything more. Alright, next...)

Allen continued checking his summon beasts in preparation for the battle against Nestirad.
