72 – Sky Island (7)
A large number of 1-star monsters were created.
I don’t know the exact number.
I think there are about a thousand of them.
Twenty of them have a cost.
There were four individuals with 3 cost.
‘I was lucky.’
I was very lucky.
For the first time, even a monster with 5 cost was created.
‘It’s good to have 4 costs, but 5 costs…’
I stared blankly at the encyclopedia.
A monster created with 5 cost.
That summoned beast is.

◎Summon
Egg Devil
—
It was an egg devil created with fragments obtained from the special dungeon placed in Room 202.
‘Shall we look at the evolution list first?’
I changed my priorities a bit.
I decided to evolve the egg devil with 5 cost instead of the summons that would take the monster trainer.
‘Because the experience after 2 stars can be satisfied with the soul contained in the lantern.’
I opened the encyclopedia and checked the evolution list.

◎Evolution
[★Egg Devil]
★★Junior Devil
Conditions: Magic Stone 8,950/50
—
There is only one route to 2 stars.
After evolving into a Junior Devil without hesitation.
Immediately, the next evolution list popped up.

—
The turning point is here.
Except for the final form, the gargoyle.
The other five are all 4-star objects with a root.
‘Originally, I wouldn’t have known which individual had pierced up to 5 stars…’
Thanks to the iron rice bowl’s information.
Now I know which route to take to evolve to 5 stars.
Succubus.
Devil.
The options have been narrowed down to two.
It was at that time when I was thinking about two routes that could evolve to 5 stars.
—Master.
“Huh?”
The iron rice bowl sneaks up next to me,
I checked the encyclopedia with tiptoe.
─Are you torn between Devil and Succubus?
As expected, if you pretend, you pretend.
It was a quick-witted iron rice bowl.
And because the voice was so loud, everyone around them stopped what they were doing after hearing Iron Rice Bowl’s question.
“Succubus?! Lee Hyun-seong, are you crazy?”
“Oh no! They say succubuses are dangerous!”
I haven’t decided yet.
Baek So-ah and Seo Han-bit urgently stopped me.
Cha Yu-ra tilted her head as if she didn’t understand why she was doing that, and Kim Young-ji giggled at them and was busy taking the Awakening Stone again.
The iron rice bowl didn’t seem to like the succubus either.
─I recommend Devil.
“Is succubus bad?”
─It’s garbage.
The Iron Rice Bowl answered firmly.
If you look at the information posted on the Internet, it’s not even garbage…
‘Why am I attracted to succubus more?’
I don’t know why.
Feels like your instincts are forcing you to choose a succubus.
‘And I don’t know about succubus, but succubus queens are monsters that range from high to top level. It looks like it can be evolved enough.’
Even if others object.
My heart is leaning towards the succubus.
If you want to rate the route you want now.
The succubus was 8 and the devil was 2.
I was thinking of pressing the succubus pretending it was a mistake.
—Master. Don’t err in judgment.
I heard the cold voice of the iron rice bowl.
I was momentarily intimidated by the iron rice bowl staring at me with a cold expression on my face, so I naturally turned my hand and clicked the devil.
‘… Let’s secretly make a succubus later.’
Swallowing regret.
I watched the evolution process slowly.
I wanted a special evolution like when I evolved the Werewolf King, but the evolution ended without any special details.
‘They said the probability was about 3%.’
At that time, it was simply luck.
‘Then shall we summon it now?’
I want to evolve it to 4 stars in a row, but I don’t have many souls yet, so I decided to end it here.
I decided to put a name on it later.
After checking the list again.

◎Summon
★★★Devil
—
Excellent 3-star.
Summoned the Devil.
Pat-!
From the encyclopedia, a black light that was darker than ever shot out and hit the ground.
The iron rice bowl narrowed his brow as he watched the devil slowly revealing himself.
The iron rice bowl turned its head toward me and asked in a cold voice.
─·······Master. Why is it female?
“How do I know that…”
The number of summons this time was also a female monster.
···It was never intended.
***
A Devil that has not yet been given a name.
That bastard… No, I slowly took in her appearance.
Her wings and horns were her characteristics.
First of all, the wings.
A pair sprouts from the back, but they are small enough to be suspected of being decorative. Maybe it’s impossible to fly.
One horn in the center of the forehead.
Two, one on each side of the crown.
It has a total of three horns.
‘Is that armor you’re wearing?’
The design is a bit embarrassing to call it armor.
What is that…? It seemed to be an armor called ‘bikini armor’.
Next, the basic appearance.
─The pink cap has been increased to three… It is believed to be an omen of disaster to come.
As the rice cooker says.
He had pink hair and irises, and he was about the same height as me.
‘Even though it’s a female chain, it’s tall.’
The appearance itself was so alluring that even a succubus wouldn’t bow down at all.
It was a summoned beast with a maturity that was not felt in kkaebi and iron rice bowls.
‘…Maybe I made a good choice.’
It wasn’t because of his handsome appearance that I thought that way.
To be honest.
Until now, summoned beasts had the feeling that a screw was missing somewhere.
But if you look at that demon…
It seemed certain that he had the serious and heavy personality he wanted so much.
‘I also needed summons with a heavy atmosphere, but that kind of personality is finally emerging.’
The summoned devil looked around us all the way.
Then, when she saw Kim Young-ji, her body trembled.
─···Am I mistaken?
Devil muttered softly and turned her head.
And the moment when we finally make eye contact with me.
─Meet the Demon God!!!
I got down on one knee and saluted loudly.
It was a neutral voice that did not match the face.
I didn’t pay much attention to the title.
I guess you call a being that serves like a devil a demon lord or demon god.
Anyway.
I was worried that he might have a rebellious side because he was a demon, but it was a useless concern.
‘I’m the most angular among summoned beasts so far?’
He looked like a dignified yet loyal general.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Devil raised his head slightly and asked me a question.
─Demon Lord! I want to ask if I can swear an oath of allegiance!
“Oath of allegiance?”
─Yes! I have a special oath of my own!
“Uh… Yes, do as you like.”
Let’s give permission,
Devil can’t stand up properly.
His quadrupedal gait quickly crawled across his floor and stopped in front of me.
─Chung!!! Castle!!!
Then he started licking my shoes voraciously.
···Crazy, what is this?
I wonder if I wasn’t the only one surprised.
The iron rice bowl rushed in and kicked Devil in the head.
—Master. That’s considered crazy. We recommend immediate incineration.
“Huh? No, but incineration is a bit…”
It was a very angry expression.
Kaebi, who was watching this, ran to the place where the flying devil was.
─Hey newcomer! Wanna die?
Then he grabbed Devil by the hair and began to slap him mercilessly.
Devil groaned in delight.
“Ah…”
An automatic sigh came out.
This time, it seemed that the missing screw was born.
─Master, do what you are doing. I will educate you like a short-haired boy.
“…Don’t kill me.”
─It would be more comfortable to die.
The iron rice bowl dragged the devil along with the kkaebi with a solemn face and moved to the corner.
For some reason, it was like a senior disciplining a junior.
···I’ll take care of it.
I decided to stop caring and create another 3-cost monster.
***
Two horn rabbits.
Small Turtle.
Bone monkey.
There are a total of four 3-cost monsters like this.
There are three Monster Trainer Awakening Stones in your hand, so you should reserve one for now.
‘Bone monkey evolved into a skeleton. …He’ll have to take the necromancer later.’
After a brief thought.
Summoned Horn Rabbit and Small Turtle.
─Kyuwoo.
─Eom.
A cute looking rabbit and turtle look up at me.
From Noble mtl dot com
It felt like my heart was being healed.
After patting their heads, I handed them the Awakening Stone one by one. The summoned servants took the Awakening Stone without showing any reluctance.
“Right. You eat well.”
Praise was added for sympathy.
─Kyum!
─Um!
Are you glad you received the compliment?
The summoned beasts rubbed their bodies against my legs and trembled with charms.
Please let them stay the same even if they evolve.
With a deep longing.
For evolution, Horn Rabbit and Small Turtle were brought back into the encyclopedia.
And when I was going to look at the list of evolutions.
─Demon Lord! I’ll take the chair colonel!
After escaping from the iron rice bowl and the kkaebi, the devil hurriedly ran to her and lay on her hands on the floor.
A devil who pats her own back and looks up at me with mad eyes.
He really isn’t normal…
It was an unprecedented number of summons with missing screws.
‘…Still, loyalty seems to be outstanding.’
I was contemplating whether to sit on this or not.
─A vulgar pink lid. You will not be allowed contact with the Master for the time being.
─Follow me!
The iron rice bowl and the kkaebi came over and grabbed the devil by the horns and dragged him back to the corner.
Yes, play with each other…
I thought it would speed up if I cared about it, so I tried to ignore it and proceeded with the evolution of the 3-cost monsters in order.
Because the route was thought out in advance.
I evolved to 2 stars without much trouble, and ran right up to 3 stars in a row.
‘I like these guys because they have a simple route.’
Rabbit Man.
Rabbit Woman.
Pocket Turtle.
All finished evolving into 3-star monsters.
Tonam.
Tosun.
Kobuk.
After naming them in order, I summoned them again.
The appearance of Tonam and Tosun did not change much.
The horns are gone.
A rabbit wearing a neat suit and walking on two legs.
If you take off your suit and lay it down, there is nothing much different from a normal rabbit.
Tortoise is much smaller than Small Turtle.
Befitting the name Pocket Turtle.
It was small enough to fit in a pocket.
‘Ah. Pocket didn’t mean that.’
The inside of the pocket turtle’s shell is similar to a subspace pouch.
That’s why it’s called Pocket Turtle.
Anyway.
Looking at the other party, it seems that they have almost all of the Awakening Stones.
Now we have decided to move to the fourth island.
To train monsters.
