Chapter 369: Steel Giant and Grimoire Production
Check the evolution destination of Kurogane. Apparently there is only one.
Steel Golem
Steel is steel. My image of steel is blades and stainless steel, but what kind of golem will it be? Let's look at the description.
Steel Golem
Golem of steel. It is resistant to heat and can transform its body at will. Its shooting attack using electromagnetic force and rotation is extremely powerful.
What...isn't an electromagnetic rocket punch a railgun? Oh man...I can't stop getting excited. Let's evolve it and see.
When Kurogane shines silver, evolution begins. When it was finished, there was a golem with a body like the blade of a slightly enlarged sword. So this is a steel golem! It's a beautiful golem. Then comes the information.
『Kurogane has evolved into a Steel Golem. He has acquired the electromagnetic skill』
『Iron Wall skill has evolved into Solid skill』
I can't find the element of Kurogane's name anymore, but I don't care about that! Let's check the status.

I still think he's getting a lot stronger. Let's check it out. First, let's take a look at the new special move of Kurogane!
Kurogane enters the rocket punch position. Kurogane's wrist rotates and as a bolt of lightning strikes him, he fires a rocket punch. The rocket punch becomes a huge arrow of light, destroying the targeted rock. Railgun rocket punch...I doubt if any monster is safe from this.
Next, check out Kurogane's transformation skills. Kurogane turned his hand into a sword and spikes came out from all over his body. This is a powerful skill, both offensively and defensively. It seems to have a much different use than Puyosuke.
Next, let's wait. It's time for Kurogane´s light ray. I gave Kurogane the light ray instruction and it fired a ray from its eye. I was impressed by the railgun rocket punch, but I was also impressed by this one. The power of the ray seems to be there. It is probably better than the laser of light magic.
Furthermore, the steel golem's amazing performance was discovered. The legs of the black steel golem floated and moved smoothly. It seemed to be the ability of electromagnetic skill. It was great that the golem's greatest weakness, its movement speed, was covered. However, the normal attack is still slow.
Finally, I tried the steel wire beam and when Kurogane thrust out his arm, the steel wire shot out with great force, piercing the target rock. I had an image of steel wire as binding and slashing, but in Kurogane's case, it was completely a shooting weapon.
Once the confirmation was over, I returned to Liebling and reported the completion of the hydra's subjugation after recovering Ix.
"Thank you! You´re as strong as the rumors say. Well then, here is your reward"
Lisha-san gave me a water tree sapling.
Water Tree Sapling: Rarity 9, Material, Quality A
When grown, it becomes a water tree. Water tree continue to produce abundant water as long as it does not wither, so be careful to plant it in the right place or you will be in trouble.
Rarity 9! I guess that's how important a water tree is. Well, being able to secure a water source is like being able to create one oasis in the Sandwall Desert. It is understandable that the rarity is so high.
But looking at the description, does that mean that if I plant it normally, it will flood or something like that?
"Takuto-sama! Takuto-sama! Please give me the water tree sapling as soon as possible"
"Yes, yes"
Setia is also accompanying this time. She seems to be concerned about Lisha-san.
"You are the elf whom Takuto-sama contracted, aren't you? I am Lisha, a half elf"
"I am Setia, Takuto-sama's elf. I've come to make sure that Takuto-sama is not delirious"
That's why you accompanied me!? Then Lisha-san laughs.
"Some of the elves burn with jealousy like Setia. I am a little relieved"
"I am not jealous. I'm just checking on Takuto-sama's relatives"
"Am I all right?"
"It seems to be all right for the present"
So far? Setia is tough. But after that, the two of them got along perfectly. Mainly because of the bad-mouthing of the elves in the council. Well, there's nothing better than getting along.
After that, Lisha-san guided us to a store where we could have hydra skins made into leather. We went into grimoire making at the library.
I could get the basic shape of the book made by handing over the materials. So I gave the hydra leather and bagasse paper and they gave me a book right away.
The book was made of blue genuine leather and looked like an antique, probably because it was made of hydra leather. This is a grimoire, right?
Next, I add my blood to the magic ink. Now the ink is ready. All that was left was to write the words, but here I was told something important.
"The material of the grimoire affects its rarity and the quality varies depending on the thoughts put into the letters. The letters are automatically converted into magic letters and cannot be rewritten, so please think carefully before writing"
I can't rewrite...what kind of things should I write...
"Ji~..."
"...Setia? Shall we go back to Liebling?"
"I don't want to. I have the right to watch what Takuto-sama writes"
There is no such thing! I forced Setia to return. Originally, the story was that I wanted to see Lisha-san. I won't let her complain.
After thinking for a while, I finally put magic ink on Finist's brush to write a sentence and the infos came. I haven't done anything yet!
『We are pleased to announce that the admin quest 『Island Stealing Battle』will be held』
Don't come to me with an announcement at this time...or should I say, thank goodness it didn't come while I was writing.
I calm down and write down the names of Lily and the others first. I also wrote the name of the summoned beasts before synthetic summoning.
And finally, I write a sentence.
I wish that I can have adventures with everyone forever.
This is my wish that has never changed. Many things will happen in the future. But I still want to have adventures with everyone. It is so much fun to be with everyone.
The golden letters on the wall turn into unknown words and shine with a dazzling light. And then comes the infos.
『You have succeeded in producing a grimoire. Please enter the name of the grimoire』
A name...I decided on a name from the text I wrote. I appraise it.
Famille: Rarity 8, Grimoire, Quality B+
Weight: 10 Durability: 100 Magic Power: 30
Effect: Chantless, simultaneous chanting, light attribute magic effect up (extreme), fire attribute magic effect up (extreme), water attribute magic effect up (large), blessing of stars
A blue grimoire with the power of the sun, stars and water. It can be used simultaneously with another magic without the need to cast a spell. Furthermore, it can fly around the user and can use both hands at will. It is a very important weapon for mages.
Famille means family in French. The French word was chosen because grimoire, which is often used in grimoires, is French.
The effect of Famille is unbeatable for its rarity. Maybe the light and fire are the effects of the Finist's feather, and the water and star blessings are the hydra.
The grimoire was explained to me and I learned how to use it. I found it surprisingly difficult. First, I hold the grimoire in my hand and when I release the grimoire, it floats in the air.
Then the grimoire moves freely in the air according to my will. It's fun, but I have to direct the grimoire during the battle, so it's a lot of work.
I can't use the all-important magic here, so I'll use it when I get back to Liebling. Finally, I called out to Lisha-san and returned to Liebling.
