Chapter 48: 48. Cheaty.
"I wonder where you acquire such marvelous creatures." Paul says looking at cactuar kicking up dust in the coliseum running like a madman.
Luckily these guys don't need any equipment so I'm free from that besides the initial 10,000 valis payment. Each of course.
"Perhaps we should invite you to the next Monster Feria to show them off." Paul suggests.
"Ah, I would rather not. People would probably bother me to find out where they came from. Sadly they are part of my magic, which is costing me a small fortune I might add. 160,000 just to use my own magic." I shake my head.
"Quit whining." Rose says from the side signing the papers from the guild to certify my new summons for city use. "At least I got them to approve of those living armors of yours as equipment."
"Much appreciated." I tell her. "With how expensive it is though, no wonder there are so few tamers. Just registering the creature would cost them days or weeks of work in the dungeon."
"Most people who want to be tamers join the Ganesha familia. You however are a odd case." Rose says clipping her pen to he clipboard.
I just shrug before desummoning cactuar and tonberry.
We head back to the guild and I get the identification items for the two and sign some papers before heading home to grab my armor and weapons.
I summon the knights before we once more head off to the dungeon. As soon as we make it to the lizardmen I feel a noticable difference in the warmth flowing into my body. If before it was a couple of drops, now it's like a stream of excellia flowing into my body.
We directly skip past the lizardmen and head for the killer ants to start the slaughter.
The difference is huge.
I'm already cheating getting exp from the knights which is basically like 13x more exp, but then on top of that 15x more exp. I'm basically gathering excellia 28x faster than a normal adventurer.
An hour in, the world freezes around me and I find myself in the reward area.
"Finally using the items I gave you properly huh? Congratulations on getting a stat to level up to level 3." The god says as three more cards appear in front of me.
The first silhouette stops on what appears to be a black and white cat in a crown, on top of a large pink creature.
"Cait Sith, from final fantasy." The card explodes and more items and memories fill my ring and mind.
This time there was no pain from the information.
The next card stops on a blonde haired man with a green cloak and a crown on his head.
"King Albert, from legend of the dragoon." Once more it bursts into light, and I'm satisfied with this one as it should give me another dragoon spirit. I only feel a small sting of pain from the memory absorbtion.
The final one stops on a red dog lion thing.
"Red XIII, from final fantasy." the god says before the final card bursts and I find myself back in the dungeon mid combat.
I do a quick scour of my ring and find myself the wind dragoon spirit, which i quickly absorb. Then 2 more purple exp materia.
Digging into my arm i pull out ice and earth which is weird before putting in the 2 exp plus materia. The stream of excellia increases and I can feel it. An extra 10x exp rate. 38x the experience.
It was like a small river of excellia pushing into my body at this point.
3 hours later I started to feel pain and grit my teeth. About 20 minutes after that the world freezes once more when the pain hits the max.
"Congratulations on reaching maximum stats at level 2." The god says.
Ah crap.
The three cards pop up as once more I feel a bit of dread.
The first one starts to rotate and comes to a halt on a woman with long black hair, she was holding a rapier and had on black armor.
"Rose, from legend of the dragoon." The voice says as the card explodes.
I feel more pain in my body but suffer through it with gritted teeth. That is the final dragoon spirit.
The next one is a simple looking man in a vest that looks like a teacher.
"Cid Kramer, from final fantasy." The voice says as the card explodes. The pain once more increases.
Finally there was the last card, this one showed a man in black armor and was kind of elderly
"Gaffgarion, from final fantasy tactics." that card explodes and the pain in my body is almost mind numbing.
The world starts to move again and I find myself in the dungeon.
"Retreat!" I call out and the knights instantly notice my plight and surround me.
I activate teleport and with a pop we all appear in the bedroom of the house.
"Hel!" I call out luckily my body isn't exploding but it is wriggling oddly.
I hear hurried footsteps and Hel pushes the door open as the knights are helping me get my armor off.
"I need another status update." I tell her much to her shock.
She bites her finger and puts a drop of blood on my back. "What are my stats at." I groan out.
"3500 each, you broke the limit once more." Hel says.
"Level me up." I tell her quickly.
"You can choose a level up skill, which one do you want." There was a small selection but I picked. "Chantless casting please."
I feel her touch my back and then a burst of relief on my body making me sigh happily as the pressure vanishes.
She grabs some paper and records my status before passing it over to me.
Sure enough there were quite a few changes which I was satisfied with looking at the page.
