Chapter 118: CH.118 Fusionist

[Brian POV]

After they took down the lava golem, it seemed that Christina’s group decided to return here. Perhaps fighting two golems in a row took a lot out of them.

I made sure to look at the rooms between them and the core room, but there were just a few imps that had spawned by now. Those are nothing to worry about.

 

I looked at Sana. She was looking relieved. 

“Sana, is something wrong?” I asked her. I do have an idea, but better to confirm it anyway.

“It’s just… I was worried. Lava golems are extremely dangerous. I thought Mother and Madam might get seriously hurt or … even … “ She answered.

“Yeah. I understand. But they are fine.” I reassured her.

“But it’s scary. If they didn’t have those summons, they would have died.” Sana said.

“If they didn’t have the summons, they would have retreated.” I told her. At least I think they would have retreated. I would hope so. Not retreating when there is nothing you lose if you do is the best idea when in an unexpected situation. 

… not that I do that. I just go in. But then again, me and Christina have the difference that I have access to over 500 cards while she has two. And even those two cards are mine.

Perhaps I really should give a few cards to everyone with Card Summoner. Something like Red Medicine for healing, a monster or two for attacking and protecting, perhaps a binding spell or trap for, well exactly that. A destruction spell like Hammer Shot might be nice as well, but as it didn’t kill the A-rank monster, it might not be as reliable as I want it to be. And if I go with, what I assume to be, more powerful destructive cards like Raigeki or Dark Hole, well they are either too rare or too self-destructive. Aka. Something I would not hand over to someone else. At least not until I have many, many copies of them. And even then I wouldn’t give Dark Hole to anyone. Unless I want them to kill themselves. But at that point I can just toss them into a Dimensional Fissure or something.

“Welcome back.” I said to Christina as her group walked back to the core room.

“We are ba…” Christina began to say, but she was interrupted.

“Master, did you see our gallant fight?” St. Joan interrupted her as she rushed over to my side.

“Yes, I did. You did great. Please keep up the great work.” I complimented her. But her actions seem suspicious to me, so I had to ask Laura something.

 

(Laura, you didn’t possess her or something, right?) I asked my main suspect in the ‘Why is St. Joan acting strangely’ case.

(No. This has nothing to do with me, Master.) Laura answered with no hesitation.

(Really? That answer makes you seem even more suspicious. Are you sure you didn’t do anything to St. Joan?) I pressured her more.

(Master, I have already told you. I can’t do that. I cannot even command Master’s monsters unless they were summoned by Master, so I literally could not do anything even if I wanted to.) Laura defended herself.

(... then why? Is something else going on?) I wondered.

(I don’t have enough information to answer that.) Laura said. (But this behavior isn’t bad for Master so we should let it go until we can understand it better.) 

(Yeah, sure. Just make sure to keep it in mind.) I told Laura. (And if you come up with an idea, please tell me.)

 

“Brian, about the golem.” Christina began talking to me. I snapped out of my thought as she did.

“Yeah, what about it?” I asked.

“We definitely need some sort of insurance in case another golem like that appears later. Having a golem evolve after it was seemingly defeated could lead to the death of many adventurers.” Christina said.

“Perhaps. I almost came up there to help you when I saw the golem evolve.” I commented. “I could try installing another card or two, but they might not work out as well as we want.”

I know I have at least Fissure and we could potentially use that. But at the same time, if the dungeon can use it without our input, that could kill many more people than some lava golems.

Something like Cold Wave might work as well, but that could also backfire.

“Actually, on second thought, they would most certainly cause more problems than just warning adventurers about golems possibly evolving.” I told Christina.

“I see. I suppose that might be for the best. Adding more features this quickly could lead to the dungeon becoming unstable and going out of control.” Christina said.

“It can go out of control?” I asked, legitimately worried about something like that happening.

“Well, it wouldn’t be able to disobey you, as you are the founder, but it can definitely go against the dungeon master. Do you remember the story I told you about Alexander the guild master?” 

“Yeah, something about him being trapped in a dungeon because the dungeon didn’t like the other dungeon master.” I recalled the story.

“Dungeons will sometimes do things like that. It’s something I’ll have to look out for as the dungeon master.” Christina said.

 

… could that mean? No. Would the dungeon really try it this quickly?

“Could that mean that the lava golem was the dungeon’s way of trying to kill you?” I asked Christina.

“... I suppose it could. But it could also have been a test from the dungeon.” She answered.

“I’ll need to make sure I leave sufficiently powerful monsters with you, so you can deal with any future surprises.” I told her.

“That would be helpful.” She agreed.

Christina and Aneesa decided to take a short nap after their hunt. Christina even leveled up twice, so sleep would help with that as well. Not that two levels cause level-up sickness, but rest is still good.

For me, that meant going through the setlists. I needed to check out for cards I could give to Christina. I think I should go with earth attribute monsters that are humanoid, but sadly there isn’t a lot to choose from. I want earth attribute so it matches with Christina, not that I know for sure if that gives her an advantage, and humanoid so they won’t look too out of place.

Sadly that leaves basically just Amazoness monsters. And I don’t have access to things like Amazoness Queen or the Arc-V era fusions, so they lack the numbers I’d like them to have.

If I had access to The Lost Millennium I could get some Ancient Gears and could use them as her ‘boss monsters’, but I don’t have it yet. But it should be the next main set I open.

I know it’s wrong to wish for something bad to happen so I can swoop in and save the day and claim The Lost Millennium and perhaps even Cybernetic Revolution as rewards, but I low key do want it. As long as no one dies because of it. I still only have one Monster Reborn after all. God. So many cards I want, so few daily tokens. … well I guess 14 is quite many already. But I could always use a few more. But Pot of Greed is only in Legend of Blue-Eyes and Magic Ruler. No, I guess it’s in Dark Beginning 1 as well. But it’s rare or super rare in all those sets. Well, one can always dream of more pack tokens.

 

(Master, how about you fusion summon another monster? Your other toploader polymerization just came off of cooldown.) Laura said to me as I was thinking about random things.

(Sure. I can do that. But I’m not going to face any combat, so isn’t it a bit of a waste?)

(It’s also a waste not to use it on cooldown as Master does have a challenge to summon different fusion monsters. And Master has materials for plenty of different ones.)

(Oh yeah, I didn’t really consider that part. I’ll even get more cards for it. Like the Red-Eyes fusion monster.) I agreed with Laura. I really should summon something. (What do you recommend? I think it should be something on the weaker side as we won’t be doing any fighting.)

(Fusionist. It’s not that strong and most likely wouldn’t be useful in combat. But it seems to be cat-like so it might be nice to pet.) Laura told me.

 

I pulled up Fusionist on my collection.
