Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

We returned to reality, first returning Est Oracion to Lily.

"Make sure you thank Est Oracion for all the hard work it did for Lily"

"Eh? Y, Yes! Thank you. Est Oracion"

Est Oracion shines. Maybe now Lily can master Est Oracion. Ah and I have to tell her something.

"The Holy Shining Dragon King said it would be fine, but I used Est Oracion jewel release, so please be careful"

"Yes! Tte, eh!? Lily, you haven't used it yet! I'm sorry! Takuto!"

Hohou. I stretch Lily's cheek.

"Do you have any idea how much trouble I went through? I'm going to make purification pills my staple food"

"Go, Gofuen, yes..."

Good grief...I'm so depressed to think that there will be at least two more times of this. Then Setia asks.

"What do you mean by that analogy? Takuto-sama?"

"Let's hear it after you eat the purification pills. I've gathered the ingredients and I'm going to Noah"

I bowed in the direction of Scathach's mansion and headed for Noah's place. I was able to complete the trial because of Master Scathach.

I went to Noah's place and reported the completion of the quest and the information came.

『You have completed the quest 『Gather Dragonwood』』

『You have completed the special event 『Noah's Dream Ship』』

So Noah's quest is now complete...I'm glad I made it in time.

"Thank you! Now I can complete my best ship ever! Ah, what about the cannons? If you have the money, you can put up to 10 cannons on it"

"Then, max"

"...That's a quick answer"

"I promised Noah that I would help him build his dream ship. If we don't put the maximum on the ship, it won't be accomplished, will it?"

Noah blinks at my words and then smiles.

"That's right! You can leave the rest to me! I'll have it done by tomorrow night, so look forward to it!"

It looks like it was surprisingly last minute.

"Yes. I'm looking forward to it"

With that, I left Noah's house.

When I got back to Liebling, I sent everyone an email telling them that I had completed the quest and logged out.

------------------

After finishing dinner, I went ahead and took a bath to relieve my fatigue. I'm more tired than I expected to be.

I get out of the bath and log into the game. I go to the Battleship training room to check the strength of the evolved Lily. First, I check her abilities.

Star armor seems to be an ability that cloaks the body in light armor and improves defense. It seems to be particularly defensive against magic. It is a very powerful skill.

Star wall is the same as making a wall of light, but it has a greater range and strength than protection. It is likely to be of great help.

With star rain, countless light bullets were launched when Lily flapped her wings. It feels like a light bullet version of feather throwing. Normally strong.

The ark of the covenant is a skill that confines the opponent with a wall of holy light, like a barrier. The difference from warding is that it seems to have the power to block the abilities of enemies of the dark attribute. Lily has become a natural enemy of Nowa and others.

Reverse scale is the same as Koihi's blood awakening. The degree of reinforcement will be most different. Rebirth is said to heal the whole body when it is in a pinch and also strengthen it. So the dragon was using both of these at the same time.

I don't know how to understand star reading. Then let's check it out in training.

"Then let's train for a while"

"Yes! Takuto, you can win, right?"

"Yeah...I'm going to go for it"

"Using Scarlet Ring won't work anymore!"

I bet it will...that's why you're so bullish. Now let's see how strong Lily has become.

Duel

Opponent: Takuto, Lily

Time Limit: 30 minutes

Victory Condition: Unable to fight, time up

Referee: Ion

The duel begins and both of us hold our swords at the ready. Lily and I were in the middle position and we didn't move. That alone is a surprise, but Lily is deliberately showing an opening to invite me to attack.

"...You are not coming at me like you always do?"

''If you think it will always be the same, you are mistaken! Takuto!"

"...I see"

I smile at the sight of Lily saying that. I feel like all the hard work I've put in has paid off. I feel like my training doesn't mean much if I'm going to evolve and get cured.

"Then, I'll go first!"

I close the gap and slash at her and she matches me.

"Star Sword!"

Est Oracion glows and swings, but I slide Est Oracion and try to slash, but Lily is quick to respond. She immediately retracts Est Oracion and throws a one-handed thrust.

"Star Sword!"

Just as she was about to play it, the course of Est Oracion's thrust changed. Is this the effect of star sword? Is this the reason why she was so quick earlier? I barely hit the Scarlet Ring to change the course of the thrust, but Lily gripped my left hand.

“Star Fist!"

Seriously!? Defense, just in time!

Lily's fist changes course unnaturally and I'm blown away. I hit the wall and fall down in a heap. This worked...I had been able to deal with the light sword and light fist because they were straight line attacks and did not change, but the star sword and star fist were not straight line and seemed to change once.

This is why Lily was so quick to retract her sword and why the course of the thrust changed. This is a very tough skill to deal with...after all, I don't even know if they come in a straight line if I´m wary of the change.

"I did it! I beat Takuto!"

"...I'm not done yet"

"Eh?"

I get up. Ah...my stomach hurts. I check my legs and body and it still affects me...I slash at Lily.

"Wawa! Muu!"

Lily is surprised at first, but she responds to my swordsmanship and we continue to exchange sword blows. Ion and the others who were watching this talk.

"Takuto-san and Lily...they seem to be having a good time"

"Lily-oneechan...she's probably stronger than Takuto-oniichan. I can't believe she can deal with Takuto-oniichan's sword"

"Lily's talent has completely blossomed with her evolution...didn't Takuto once say that she could surpass him? I think he told you that one day you will surpass him"

Ion recalls what Farida said to her. In the beginning, Takuto had indeed said that. It seems that today is the time when he said that one day she would be stronger than he was.

"Lily-oneesama is pushing Takuto-sama, isn't she?"

"No, she's not. Lily is getting impatient"

"Eh? Why is she in a hurry? Lily is pushing Takuto..."

Ribina's question is valid. Lily is currently trying to break Takuto somehow by speeding up her attack, but Takuto is not broken.

"I don't think that Lily-oneesama would be in a hurry now without a reason"

"Lily is probably looking into the future. The reason why she is able to respond to the attack of Takuto is because of this and the effect of super sense. And Takuto is aware of it and is measuring the ability of the skill"

"Does it mean that Lily sees the future when she is attacked by Takuto-san and tries to do something before he attacks her?"

"I think so...she's not used to her skills, so this is not an option for her. Lily now has so much faith in the future. The fact that she hit Takuto and the fact that she is able to respond to Takuto's attacks, has made her do so...Takuto is going to set her up"

I get ready, Lily's attack is avoided and I go on the offensive.

""Acceleration!""

"!!? Star Sword!"

Lily also deals with acceleration's acceleration. But acceleration's acceleration is faster!

"Star Armor!"

Lily clenches her guard. That's the only way. Acceleration breaks off and Lily immediately pops the Scarlet Ring into the air. Payback!

"Body Blow!"

"!!? Star Wall!"

My body blow is blocked by star wall and the star wall disappears. No good...

"Release!"

Scarlet Ring returns to my hand. I used Famille to stock up on appose with delay magic.

I slash at Lily and she hurriedly defends herself. My attack, Lily, will be on your future!

『Illusion』

My attack is transparent and a completely different slash catches Lily.

"Time's up! Lily is the winner!"

Scarlet Ring stops just before it hits Lily. I guess the extra star armor made it stick...and then comes the infos.

『Your swift skill level has reached 20. Swift skill has evolved into Shukuchi skill』

Oh! I learned Shukuchi! But a loss is a loss.

"Lily...you win. You did well"

"Eh......ya, yay! I did it! Ion-chan! I beat Takuto!"

It was worse than I thought. The combo of super sense and star reading is unbelievable. My feints were ineffective due to super sense and all my attacks were detected. Furthermore, the fact that she knew my move by star reading was also a big problem. Lily must have seen the future before the first attack. It was my fault for not checking all the moves.

More importantly, Lily did not have many big swing attacks this time. She was thinking about what she was going to do next when she did...I guess my job was done.

"I guess Lily is out of my training now"

"Yay! ......Eh?"

"It's not eh, is it? I thought we originally agreed to stay together until you got stronger"

"I think that's what I thought, but...Ion-cha~n!"

Lily asks Ion for help.

"I haven't beaten Takuto-san yet. Please train me"

"I haven't either!"

"You two are cheating!"

I say so, but if you two evolve, you'll probably graduate.

"Lily wants to fight Takuto too!"

"You should really fight Ix more than me. I'm sure you'd have a good match"

Action prediction and star reading battles are moderately interesting.

"Master...please don't push Lily. I'd rather train with you"

"No, thank you. Ix is graduating too, so you can train with other graduates"

""Muu~""

I can't do it even if you're upset. Then, Farida comes.

"Takuto...were you serious in the fight just now?"

"Of course I was serious, okay?"

"I heard from Setia that Takuto knocked out a big bull?"

It is true that I did not use rune magic. The actuality that I couldn't use it...Lily was fused to hear that.

"That's right! Takuto wasn't really fighting! So"

"Lily must understand best that I was fighting for real, right?"

"U...b, but~"

You're not ready for it.

"I don't say don't fight at all, so try training with Ix for a while. You should be able to learn a lot from each other"

"Umm...I understand"

Then I get a text message from Nao. I went to Nao's store for the first time.

"Sorry to bother you"

"Welcome, Takuto-san"

When I looked around the store, I found a lot of silver accessories. It looks like they are showing each other.

"There are a lot of silver accessories..."

"Because ingots were sold during the zombie event. Thanks to that, my skill level skyrocketed"

Ah...I got ingots too. That's the reason...

"So what's your request?"

"Actually, I want you to make me a silver ring out of it"

Nao-san was surprised when I offered her a diamond.

"Isn't it a diamond!? That? A silver ring with a diamond?"

Well, she'll know...

"I changed my class and needed it for a special condition. I'd appreciate it if you don't mention it too much"

"So that's what you mean! Well, leave it to me! I'll do my best to make you a nice ring!"

Oh? Her reaction was strange, wasn't it? When I asked her about it, she gave me a girlish answer.

"An engagement ring is every girl's dream. Besides, when I look at Lily and her friends, they don't look like NPCs and I still want them to be happy"

Pressure...no, I guess that's what giving an engagement ring means.

"Do you have any design requests?"

"Emm...do you know Lily as a dragon?"

"Yes. It's a beautiful dragon, isn't it? Is that what you're designing?"

"Please. Let me add three more things. A regular silver ring, a dragonized form of Ion and a nature-inspired one"

Nao-san laughed at me. Just by ordering the design, it is obvious who the gift is for. Then Nao-san made a suggestion.

"The silver ring is for Takuto-san, isn't it? How about using an emblem for it?"

It is indeed a special ring. Plain would be terrible...it looks like it should have a name or something, but there are too many of them. The Liebling emblem would be more appropriate.

"I'd like that, please"

"I understand! About the time, I can make a silver ring immediately, but please give me some time for a diamond ring. I already have a design in mind, but I've never worn diamonds before and I'm nervous about an engagement ring"

"I understand. I'm fine with the time. But please keep this a secret. I'm not good at it"

"Huhu...I understand. I will let you know by email when it is finished. The diamonds have already been processed, so I should be able to deliver two of them tomorrow night"

Surprisingly fast. I asked her about it and she said it's because she's used to using only silver every day.

The money was paid later and the ring request was done.

I'm tired today, so I'll log out now and get ready for tomorrow.
