Chapter 62
Fortunately, Xiu Er now has a perfect solution, Magic he recently acquired.
Golden energy began to gather at the center of the magic circle. To avoid creating an overly powerful monster, Xiu Er chose to directly limit the current power limit of the mecha. (Monster figurine)
A few seconds later.
The energy began to gather and take shape, gradually turning dark red.
To Xiu Er's surprise, a huge figure appeared in the center of the magic circle.
Roar------!!!
A tremendous roar echoed throughout the valley, covering the entire area.
Takuson had just informed the villagers that the Demon Dragon had been destroyed, and the villagers were still thanking him profusely.
Then everyone heard a terrifying roar coming from afar.
The voice carried a subtle sense of pressure, and everyone except Takuson was stunned by it, looking at the villagers' faces filled with fear.
Takuson quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound was coming from.
That's the direction we came from. A new monster has appeared?!
After quickly settling the villagers in, Takuson hurriedly ran back the way he had come.
The Space Gate didn't open, and he immediately realized something was wrong. Could it be that his teacher had personally gone to face that unknown monster?
That sound was terrifying. What kind of monster had appeared?
Takuson moved at high speed across the mountains, and as he got closer to his destination, he saw it. Monster figurine.
In the distance, a tall figure stood there, its features obscured, yet even from afar, one could feel the intense pressure it exuded.
What is that...?
At this moment, only this one thought remained in Takuson's mind...
Episode 40: Monster Creation - Alatreon
"[Surprised] This is really beyond our expectations."
Xiu Er looked at the enormous monster before him and exclaimed in amazement.
The dragon-shaped Monster stood proudly upright, its body covered in ominous, jet-black scales that were all reverse scales. The layers of upside-down scales formed a hard reverse shell that could block any attack and tear apart anything it touched.
Its head has a pair of huge, backward-curving horns that pierce the sky. In Xiu Er's opinion, they are so hard that they can easily pierce through rock walls and sever any target in their path.
Upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that these two giant horns are actually formed by a large number of overlapping smaller horns.
Its well-developed claws and strong limbs, along with its tail covered in sharp scales and bone spikes, are truly captivating, as if a gentle wave of its hand could sweep away all obstacles.
And there were those enormous, sky-covering wings, like the source of darkness in the world, yet within which a glimmer of light shone.
This is Xiu Er's conclusion based on the results of the close-up scan and his feelings.
[Alatreon] Monster Figure
This is Monster that Xiu Er created using [Monster Creation], based on a monster from a game he played in his previous life.
His appearance, personality, and abilities are all identical to the original, except that his strength depends on the "Magic Power" given to him by Xiu Er.
However, due to the nature of Magic, no matter how much this monster resembles the original, it is still just a "Monster".
Looking at the giant dragon before him, Xiu Er couldn't help but admire the Magic of this world.
He actually managed to "create" the monster he imagined in the form of a "Monster".
Its body, tens of meters long, made Xiu Er, who stood in front of it, seem as small as an ant.
The surrounding environment has been greatly changed because the unstable elemental energies from Alatreon's body have gathered at the tip of its reverse scale and then spread to the surrounding environment.
Flames appeared all around, intense heat swept across the entire valley, and a violent gale suddenly appeared, whipping up large amounts of gravel.
Strangely, in addition to the raging fire and fierce winds, the area was also hit by a series of deafening lightning strikes and a biting blizzard.
It seems that the Alatreon, which has only just arrived, has already begun to passively transform this valley into its own Divine Realm.
At this moment, Xiu Er, standing before the Alatreon, was completely unprotected, experiencing the environment ravaged by natural disaster. (Monster figurine)
"Data parsing complete. Compared to the original, the restoration accuracy reaches 80%."
"Because the power limit was actively reduced during the spellcasting, the strength of the [Alatreon] individual did not reach the original expectation."
"It is inferred that individual [Alatreon] will pose a serious threat to the creatures of this world."
In the game's world, Alatreon holds a god-like status, and its harm to the ecological environment is extremely severe.
However, the original Alatreon, knowing its disadvantage, would deliberately choose a sparsely populated area to stay there and rarely leave, so the harm it caused was actually not significant. In fact, it would even actively kill factors that could cause chaos in order to maintain ecological balance.
However, the one that Xiu Er created was essentially just a replica of the Monster created by Magic, and it would not have the harmless personality of the original. Naturally, the Monster fell into the scope of his [Demon Taming Magic] judgment.
The dragon's bright red vertical pupils were fixed on the tiny figure in front of it, its eyes filled with curiosity about this being.
Because at the time of creation, Xiu Er endowed the other party with a complete setting through the abundant information in the database, which caused the Monster, which should only have a mind for killing, to also develop a certain degree of "heart" and "intelligence".
And it was precisely for this reason that the Alatreon before it became curious about its creator.
Because it had never seen this strange life form in the false memories given to it by Xiu Er.
However, Xiu Er had already decided to do something.
After all, if they wait any longer, the surrounding environment will truly become Alatreon's "Divine Realm," an ecosystem where only Alatreon itself can survive.
If left unchecked, the world's ecosystem will suffer devastating damage. Fortunately, Xiu Er does have a way to salvage the situation.
Furthermore, this was Monster he created himself, so he should be the one to handle its aftermath.
Speaking of which, why didn't Xiu Er try to create a [Dragonoid Species] that No Game No Life?
That's because before casting the spell, he subconsciously began to calculate the probability that the Magic could restore the Dragonoid Species setting, and then came to the conclusion that it was almost impossible.
Although the world of Magic is a world of imagination, Xiu Er's rationality led him to believe that this Magic could restore the Dragonoid Species, and therefore, he was unable to create the Dragonoid Species.
"— [The Codex Opening]— [The True Codex]— [Monster Control]—"
Putting aside other thoughts, the most urgent matter at hand is to stop this Alatreon that he created.
However, casting spells has a pre-cast animation, and Alatreon immediately sensed what the other party was about to do, and flames had already gathered in its mouth.
Although Xiu Er never showed any change in expression or uttered any words, and his actions seemed harmless, the Monster's beastly intuition had begun to frantically raise alarms.
Scorching flames spewed from the dragon's mouth, the massive fire lasting for over ten seconds, burning everything in front of it to ashes, except for that golden "sphere".
Surprise appeared in its eyes, but unfortunately, this was its first and only chance to attack.
The flames subsided, giving the Alatreon no time for another attack. A massive golden magic circle appeared beneath the dragon's feet, completely enclosing it.
After all, it is essentially just a Monster in name only. Even if its abilities and habits are 80% replicated, it is not the original version from the game. Faced with this unexpected event, the Monster's already limited intelligence finally became confused.
This chaos is precisely the sign that [Monster Control] has begun.
When Takuson arrived at the valley he had been in, everything around him was no longer the same.
Inexplicably, intense heat and profound cold appeared simultaneously in this place, and the surrounding terrain underwent a dramatic transformation for unknown reasons.
The only thing that remains unchanged is my teacher, Xiu Er, who is still there unharmed.
However, aside from the ground beneath its feet remaining intact, the nearby lava, melted by the intense heat, indicated that it had just been attacked by someone or some monster. (Monster figurine)
Lava, ice, eerie winds in the air, and scorching ground unlike any other, with a burnt smell that only comes from lightning strikes, and raging jets of flame seen on the way there.
Takuson's expression became very serious.
I just saw a huge, terrifying figure, and the terrifying roar I heard earlier was not an illusion.
So, where did that monster go?
As this question arose in his mind, Takuson subconsciously looked at Xiu Er, who was standing on the only intact piece of land in the lava, and some guesses began to form in his mind.
Never mind, none of that matters. Let's go check if the teacher is alright first.
"Teacher! Are you alright?!"
"[Reply] Takuson, my body has not suffered any damage, the assessment result is that I am fine."
Xiu Er turned around and responded to Takuson's words in a very calm manner, while the latter noticed that the other was holding an unidentified Golden Orb that was only the size of Xiu Er's palm.
But he didn't pay much attention to that.
"It's good that you're alright, phew!"
Takuson wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which had broken out due to worry. He couldn't help it; the aura of that giant monster had given him a very dangerous feeling.
This caused him to forget his teacher's strength and subconsciously begin to worry about Xiu Er's safety.
After confirming that there were no problems with Xiu Er, Takuson's worries lessened considerably, but there was something even more important. Monster figurines.
"Teacher, what was that monster just now?!"
Without any restraint, unlike usual, this time Takuson even put his hands on Xiu Er's shoulders.
That look in his eyes seemed to say that if Xiu Er didn't clarify this matter today, he would pester him about it every day.
Facing those eyes as calm as still water, Takuson did not back down in the slightest.
"Teacher, please tell me. I know there are some things I don't need to know, but this time, could you please explain everything to me?"
He knew that his teacher would choose to remain silent about certain things he felt he didn't need to know.
But no matter when, as long as he asked, the other party would answer truthfully, just like this time.
Faced with Takuson's doubts, Xiu Er did not choose to continue to hide it this time, because he always did so. When dealing with Takuson, he would not answer unless asked, but would answer if asked.
So he spoke.
One minute later.
After Xiu Er's simple and easy-to-understand summary, Takuson was finally able to understand why that terrifying figure had suddenly appeared.
"I never imagined that such Magic existed in this world."
Recalling the stories his teacher told, Takuson's impression of Magic changed once again. (Narrative Book Monster Figurine)
"Teacher, do you think this Magic Guidebook might have been written by those wicked Demon?"
"[Rebuttal] Based on the intelligence analysis, the Demon race does not have the probability of engaging in such behavior."
"I see. So what was the creator of this Magic thinking when he created Magic?"
"[Speculation] The probability that an individual's purpose is 'driven by interest' is 95.7%, which is precisely the logic Magic User's behavior."
"To create such malicious Magic out of interest? What a madman."
Takuson looked up at the blue sky, recalling the Magic he had just learned, and sighed unconsciously.
"Magic User is either a genius or a madman."
"Huh? I never knew you viewed Magic User this way, teacher."
Glancing at his apprentice's expression, Xiu Er immediately understood what the misunderstanding was.
"[Supplement] This assessment is based on powerful Magic User; ordinary individuals fall within the normal psychological range."
Now, they have left the valley area that has been completely transformed.
That area was in a state of partial transformation because of Xiu Er's timely intervention.
Fortunately, because of the previous Demon Dragon, there weren't many creatures living in that area to begin with, so the damage caused by the Alatreon didn't escalate.
It's just that, in the future, some terrifying legends might circulate about this place.
The surrounding villages all heard that terrifying roar, and the unfinished [Divine Realm] left in the valley would become the main material for the rise of legends and later events.
