Epic of Caterpillar

“Nom, nom! Oooh, delicious! Food is tasty! Meat! Bread! Fruit!”

Aquamarine was stuffing himself with all sorts of food that the girls offered to him. Sandwiches, fruits, cakes, bread, and more. He was able to eat as well, to taste their flavor and everything, and seemed to have some sort of digestive ability now as Aquamarine had yet to complain about being unable to digest like before.

“I can eat! I can eat! T-This is amazing!” Aquamarine couldn’t help but cry. “Mama, I am eating!”

“I know dear.” I said. “Mama is happy that you’re enjoying the experience.”

“Hehehe…! I wanna eat more! Meow!” Aquamarine playful meowed, the girls had their hearts melted, and more food was given to him. Seriously, I had to quickly take away my portion before they were to just give everything to him.

After explaining everyone present how the Ego Weapons worked and showcasing them how Aquamarine could turn into a full body armor over my own body, and also a sharp and beautiful dagger, we moved over to other things, such as Elfina’s new Skill and our discovery over her summoning powers.

We ended leaving it hanging until now, but it appears that those slots cannot be refilled until the summons in there are taken away or used elsewhere, for something else completely. Now the question was how to get rid of these [Stone: I] and [Plant: I] summons that are good for nothing!

Also, apparently I am a [Bug (EX): C] Summon. But what’s with the (EX)? Am I special? Is this why I got the EX between brackets? It feels like I am a Super Rare character in a gacha or something, and Elfina really got lucky by summoning me.

“Hm, maybe destroying the rocks and weed should make your slots free.” Said Floresse.

“Hey, how about you try out Synthetize, Elfina?” I asked.

“S-Synthetize? You want to merge with the rocks and weed?” Asked Elfina with a concerned look in her eyes.

“Look I am not into simply fusing with weird stuff, but it said I could get new powers or skills temporary, so it is worth a shot, right?” I asked, trying to convince her.

“R-Right… Then… [Synthetize]!”

FLASH!

Suddenly, by merely commanding it, the four I Grade Summons glowed brightly, turning into particles of light that then turned into what looked like cards showing their appearance on them and their rank! Wow, cards?! And then, the cards flew towards me, merging with me. My body didn’t changed at all, but I felt something new.

Ding!

[The Summons: [Stone: I] x2 and [Plant: I] x2 have been Synthetized with the user]

[Stats have increased temporarily]

[You temporarily acquired the [Hard Mineral Body] and [Photosynthesis] Skills!]

“Huh?! I even got two Skills out of the blue that I can use temporarily?” I wondered, as I checked my Status.

What with these bonus Stats?! They’re kind of trash!  …Oh well, the Summons are I Rank, you can’t expect so much from goddamn I Rank monsters, that lower than anything I’ve ever thought possible. Nonetheless, they all came with a single Skill of their preference, when fused through Synthesis, I gain temporary access over such Skills and I might even be able to use them… So let’s see them both.

—–

[Hard Mineral Body]

A Signature Skill for the [Stone] Type Family of Summons. It allows the Stone-type Summon to channel the energies and mana in their bodies and cover them in an even harder coverture of minerals. The minerals might range from non-metallic to metallic and highly resistant to physical and even magical blows.

—–

[Photosynthesis]

A Signature Skill for the [Plant] Type Family of Summons. It allows the Plant-type Summon to absorb the energy from the Sunlight and recharge both Health and Mana from the Sunlight. Sunlight can also be gathered previously to acquire more energy to use in the future.

“Oh, this is pretty handy! The stat boosts are kind of trashy, but the Skills I get kind of make up for it, Elfina!” I said. “So wait, what about the slots, are they away or not?”

“Yes… they’re gone! It seems that Synthesis uses the monster fused over the target as the main ingredient, so they disappear after that…!” Elfina said, feeling excited to try out her luck and summon something new.
