Strange Bug Battle Pets (Two-in-One)

"It looks somewhat similar to Gamembig..."

Roy quickly remembered.

"I've heard people mention Gamembig too, but the two are completely different."

Magus corrected him.

"That requires you to create stone sculptures yourself and refine all kinds of puppets. You could say it's a game exclusively for alchemists.

But the Bug Fighting Association is an activity in which many Spellcasters from the Wizarding World—and even beyond it—participate. It is also a mysterious ritual that has been passed down for a long time.

Those who possess this token can communicate with Sacred Scarab God Vanjion's divine kingdom and perform certain special rituals or challenges, thereby obtaining summonable vessels."

"You mean it's like how those mages travel through the Elemental Planes and gain the recognition of ancient beings!"

Roy's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Exactly!"

Magus said.

"But during the initial stage, you can only obtain a Level 1 one at most...

Powerful strange bugs have to be cultivated personally, raised through Raising Gu, battle, and nurturing!"

He then began explaining it in greater detail.

This was indeed somewhat similar to obtaining an Elemental Summoning creature.

At least for Level 0 apprentices and Level 1 Wizards, there was a vast range of choices, along with many possible developmental paths.

"Then what is the price?

What price must one bear to join this Bug Fighting Association...

Or rather, what obligations must one fulfill?"

As a Wizard who upheld Equivalent Exchange as his maxim, Roy quickly asked another question.

"Raising such a strange bug battle pet also means shouldering the responsibility of caring for and nurturing it.

Anyone who possesses a strange bug from that divine kingdom is considered to have 'joined the association.'

In the future, they may have to bear ties with the Bug Fighting Association and its other 'Bug Fighters,'
