We have a level system in place for mankind.

Using the points accumulated by leveling up and pointing the skills of "Manicured Water", Misaki gained the skills of "Manicured Ice".

"For beer's sake, you don't have to choose your skills"

"What are you talking about? You don't just choose 'Ice Manipulation' for beer. Ice manipulation can do a lot of damage to reptile beasts."

I didn't know. Does it matter that reptiles are warm animals?

"Cozillow, where are we going next?

When Kawai says it's his turn next, he's tense.

"Right. Will it be Xiaolong District or Weird Beast District? Which one do you want?

"Which guardian is stronger?

"Wonder if it's the Odd Beast District. I've only confirmed it with signs."

The next day, we headed to Xiaolong District. Go to the Beastman District and head south from there. Entering Xiaolong District, a small bipedal dragon with a height of about 80 cm attacked him.

Watch your nails.

It is a foreign beast called Petyraptol that has attacked me. This guy's nails were sharp enough to easily cleave off human skin and muscles.

I choose the spinning stick as my weapon. Because I can handle it faster than a shadow blade wolf tooth stick.

The petite raptor that attacked me was a dozen herds. It was Kawai and Elena who struggled. Big swords and bows don't seem compatible with petite raptor.

Elena summoned Thor and Agni, spirits. The two spirits began a beam attack on the approaching petit raptor as they circled around Elena in a circle.

The Spirit's Beam Attack dealt lethal damage to Petyraptor.

"That's amazing."

Misaki praised the attacks of the spirits he had first seen.

"These kids' attacks work for little beasts, but they often don't work for big beasts."

Every time you defeat a different beast and absorb something that is the source of the heart stone, the electric beam of Tor and the red flame beam of Agni are gaining some power.

"If we train and raise the spirits, we'll be able to defeat the great beasts, too, won't we?

"I think so. But there's just one problem. When the spirits defeat you, there will be no heart stone left."

Heart stones are needed to replace scarce supplies in surviving towns. Some consumables, such as daily groceries, can no longer be recovered from foreign beast territory already. It was important to collect cardiac stones to create it with 'cardiac stone processing'.

So I didn't really use spirits, but Elena thought it might be a good idea to use spirits if you work in Xiaolong District.

"I can pick a lot of cardiac stones here. You can train your spirits without worrying about heart stones."

"Yeah, I will"

Kawai turned to me.

"Hey, the guardian said he was in the heart of Xiaolong District, but where exactly is he?

"It's Wild Town Cemetery. It's like a forest over there. There's a guardian there."

When we tried to enter the cemetery, we ran into unexpected people.

"Isn't that Misaki? Were you back in Jesuit City?

"Well, what are you after?

What we encountered were Fujiyashi and Ryuzaki.

"Aiming is not good listening. I'm just here to defeat the guardian at the mayor's request."

"Heh, at the mayor's request. What happened to Tazaki City?

"... there are no more interesting guardians in that city. So I just came to Jesuit City."

"What's funny? There's not just no guardian left to win."

"Don't be stupid. I am the strongest man. We're just stopping by before we attack the guardians of Tazaki City."

The strength of the guardian is also different, just as the strength of the alien beast is different in each territory. Assuming the highest-class Seeker is in his 30s, there is a Guardian of Strength who cannot be defeated.

The only way to defeat a guardian like that is to raise the individual level and develop powerful skills. However, getting to a high level makes it harder to level up. If you don't defeat the mighty Beast, you will not level up.

Fujiyashi may have come to defeat the guardians of Jesu City to become stronger. That's what I thought. But Fujiyashi isn't the only one who wants to be strong.

We want to be strong, too, to get the city back from the beasts.

"Mr. Ryuzaki, is it also the mayor's order to defeat the guardians here?

When I asked, Fujiyashi blocked Ryuzaki from trying to nod and answer.

"I'm sorry, but it's the mayor's orders. I'll take down the guardian."

Toshibayashi told us that it was a decision.

Fujiyashi took the Ryuzaki men into the cemetery. Originally it was a cemetery surrounded by woods, but trees also grew in the cemetery, which is now like a forest.

Kawai raised his voice after dropping him off afterwards.

"What do we do?

"Let's see what Fujiyashi can do. Turn off the signs as much as possible and follow"

We go after Fujiyashi so they don't notice us. They defeated Petyraptor and similar dinosaur-type alien beasts, so they could chase them without encountering them.

When I came near the center of the cemetery, I saw the Vine Forests relative to one dinosaur. The dinosaur, who would be the guardian, was a bipedal dinosaur about three metres long. It resembles a dinosaur called Dainonics, which inhabited the White Age.

Even so, I don't know if the daynonics I know are accurate because they are what I saw in the movies and drawings. But when I saw the vicious nails and the fangs lining my big mouth, I thought they were mighty enemies.

Attack with the manipulation system.

Fujiyashi ordered Ryuzaki and the others. Ryuzaki and the others use their own skills to attack. There still seems to be a lot of 'manipulative flames'.

The guardian only avoids direct hits, but seems to be taking damage from the explosion. Fujiyashi pulled out a Japanese sword.

Is Fujiyashi using a Japanese sword as a weapon?

Misaki nodded when she heard me talking to myself.

"It seems to be a Rigid Knife called Tontatsu"

A little surprised. Sometimes the knife used by the protagonist in the epoch is set to be the same Tatsuhei. Being fleshy and sturdy, I guess that means it's okay to slaughter as many people as you want.

The guardian was attacked by Ryuzaki, who attacked him. The Ryuzaki men respond desperately.

"Why isn't Fujiyashi attacking?

I asked Misaki wondering.

"Fujiyashi has an analysis. I'm looking for a guardian's weakness now."

It seems to take a little time to analyze.

"Okay, okay. Out of the way!"

Fujiyashi ordered it. Ryuzaki and the others distance themselves from their guardians even though they look unhappy. Fujiyashi stepped forward and went one-on-one with his guardian.

"Ha ah!

He kicked it with the force of digging back into the ground and jumped forward with that recoil. Instead of the speed achieved by saving wasted movements like mine, I approach my guardian with the speed at which I make the most of my rigidity and wave down the blade of Tongtai on my long neck.

A large amount of fluid erupted from the guardian's neck. Fujiyashi, convinced he did a lot of damage, strikes in a row. The guardian began to flee. Fujiyashi seemed to have the strength to just slap a big mouth.

"What? I've never seen a runaway guardian. Was that all that a powerful attack?

Kawai rounds his eyes and watches the battle.

"Fujiyashi has the skills of a muscle boost."

Misaki explained it to me. Kawai was interested in the information.

"Fine. Earn Skill Points when you accumulate them"

Kawai seems to have a 'muscle boost' in his list of skills. It's not on my skills list, so I wondered. However, there are qigong-related skills in my list, so I guess there will be differences due to qualities and so on.

The guardian fluttered and front-footed to the ground. Fujiyashi, who thought it was a chance, put Tongtatsu on the upper level and shook him down on the head of the guardian as he jumped in.

Fujiyashi would have thought this was settled. But the guardian wielded a long tail. That jumped against the flank of the Vine Forest.

"Fujiyashi!"

Ryuzaki took refuge in Fujiyashi and stepped forward to restrain the guardian. Ryuzaki protruded Grave toward his guardian.

"Stop, don't get your hands on me!

Fujiyashi can get up and push Ryuzaki away.

"You lizard bastard!

Fujiyashi laughed loudly as the guardian slashed Metta in Tongtatsu fell.

Afterwards, Fujiyashi, who must have earned the reward of defeating his guardian, looks unhappy. Maybe it wasn't the reward I was expecting.

Looks like the leveling is over and he jumped into a split fountain in the heart of the cemetery and picked a control stone option.
