Chapter 492: The fire spirit bird and the two-headed watchdog
Alright, let's see how everyone evolves. Let's start with Coral. There is one evolution destination.
Chinese Phoenix
It is a famous spirit bird in Chinese mythology. In Japan, it is famous for the Byodoin Phoenix Hall. It also appears on bills. Now, let's see how it is described in the explanation.
Chinese Phoenix
A sacred bird that wears a sacred flame and deals with wind and hermetic arts. Its eggs are believed to have the power of longevity and many people want to have them, but they are only found deep in the mountains where hermits live and it is not easy to encounter them.
I had an image of the phoenix as a sacred bird, but I didn't know that there was a story about its immortality. Let's go to evolution.
Coral is surrounded by the sacred fire and evolves.
『Coral evolves into a Chinese Phoenix』
The evolved Coral grows larger and is covered with a shining flame. Well then, let's take a look at its status.

I wonder if it'll lay eggs on the boulder...that's too bad, but he's getting stronger. When I touched it, the fire was not hot. It was only slightly warm. It's like being warmed by a bonfire.
Next, Addis and Mute, let's evolve together. There is only one place to evolve.
Garm
We've fought in the Yellow Ossa Mountains before. Let's take a look at the description.
Garm
A wolf with flame-like fur. It has a very aggressive personality and will bite without hesitation, even if its opponent is superior. It also specializes in fire and lives in volcanic areas and hot places.
Well, according to legend, Garm was the wolf that bit the Norse god of war, Thule, on his deathbed. That's right, even a superior wolf wouldn't hesitate to bite him. Considering its accomplishments, it would normally be a higher evolution, but in this game, it's not that strong. So let's go with evolution.
Addis and Mute are engulfed in flames and evolve.
『Addis has evolved into Garm』
『Mute has evolved into Garm』
The two take on the same appearance as the Garm I saw before. Now for the customary mofumofu check.
Umm...the fur is a bit moist. It's unexpected, but it's a good thing. Now let's check the status. Since they are probably the same, let's look at Addis only.
Name Addis Red Wolf Lv16 → Garm Lv1

It's got more attack power and less defense than silver wolf. And it's a splendid fire attribute specialization. This is the end of the evolution rush, but the conditions for synthetic summoning have been met.
I'll ask Addis and Mute. There's no need to hide anything from them.
"I want you guys to evolve into Orthros. Let me hear what you two have to say"
Adsis and Mute looked at each other and nodded.
""Gau!""
Then they look straight at me and squeal and then they go around behind me and push me back. Apparently, they want us to go right away. Wait a minute. I haven't dismantled it yet.
When I dismantled it, I got the dragon wood safely. I gave it to Noah. It looks like we can repair it with this. That's good.
I head to the Beastmaster Guild and enter the room of synthetic summoning.
I place the two summoning stones in the magic circle and the corridor of souls is activated. Then Addis and Mute appear in front of me and speak to me.
『No words are needed. Lord. I and Mute are ready』
『Well, we're not going to die and it's not that serious of a synthetic summon~』
Mute is so light. Well, I thought that orthros was the same as lesser hydra, so I didn't have any hesitation either, but I still want to ask.
"Are you two glad I'm the master?"
『Of course. How could I deny it?』
『Big brother Gray will beat us up, right? Even without that, there’s no way we can deny our master who fought so hard for us』
Gray is very firm, isn't he?
『Take it easy, Lord. We were of no use to the Lord』
『We didn't fight in Garm, but I still care about it...that's it』
I guess if I don't let them fight and just level up, I still have this kind of anxiety.
『I see you thought like that...then, I'll have you work a lot harder when you become an orthros』
『Eh? That's too much』
『I hope so. We will surely be of service to the Lord and everyone else with our strength』
Mute is silent. Don't worry. I won't be that hard on you.
"Then, let's do it"
『『Yes!』』
"Synthetic Summoning!"
Addis and Mute return to their summoning stones and when they are sucked into the magic circle, the magic circle overlaps and a giant two-headed wolf is summoned.
『The summoning of Addis and Mute was successful. Orthros has been summoned』
This brings the number of summoned beasts I can summon back to five.
『『Name to us, my Lord!』』
"How about Haberus?"
『I think it's a good name』
『Yes, it is~』
Mute is light...but it's settled. The name, by the way, comes from Cerberus, the English reading of Cerberus and Hades, the god of the underworld, to whom Cerberus is faithful. If this doesn't turn out to be Cerberus, I can't even look at it.
Cerberus is the image of Mute and Hades is the image of Addis. Now let's check the status.

Well, it's strong. He is a dog that represents Greek mythology.
"I'll be counting on you to keep up the good work. Haberus"
『『Leave it to me!』』
That's enough for today. What's that? I seem to have forgotten something...oh well. I saw the girls gutting it out in the back where I was going to bed.
