Enhancement Methods (Beginning)
An injured soldier came into the throne room and reported frantically.
We’re still in the meeting. Ren and the others have performed a Level Reset at the hourglass and admitted Tact into the country’s jail so he couldn’t escape for the time being, and then joined us.
They couldn’t hide their astonishment about Glass joining us or the appearance of new land.
The conversation with Glass still continues. It was at that point.
Gaelion had said the monsters would have an increase in activity after each wave.
So the thing about the wave conditions becoming more severe was pointing to this sort of situation!
Ha… An ordinary adventurer would go no further than 40 at best, and even soldiers could only reach 100.
That aside, the citizens might be in danger.
We don’t have the time to choose our personnel.
Rather, if we don’t raise the levels of all the citizens, they’ll die.
At the lowest, 100 is the baseline.
“What should we do about the waves throughout the world?” (Naofumi)
“Kue.” (Fitoria)
“Er, Fitoria-sama said the Vassal’s carriage has the ability to transport and warp, so it can be used to deal with the waves throughout the world.” (Midori)
“….How convenient.” (Naofumi)
“How long until the next wave?” (Naofumi)
“About five days.”
“…. Instruct the Allied Forces and the troops throughout the world to try raise at least one level before the time limit so they don’t die and to protect the people of their country.” (Trash)
“Glass. What will happen with the next wave?” (Naofumi)
“The monsters appearing because of the wave are the other world’s screams when the worlds fuse or so I’ve been told. The monsters’ strength won’t lessen but as long as this world’s Saint weapons and Vassals exist, we can buy time.” (Glass)
“Your world is….” (Naofumi)
“I am…. past being resolved. For example, another world might assimilate while we’re trying to hinder the assimilation with this world…. We might be destroyed by some opposing world in the end. I will…. take advantage of the wave and return though.” (Glass)
“You’re not going to stay in this world and fight?” (Naofumi)
“Because I am a Vassal of that world. Until I accomplish my mission at least.” (Glass)
“I see… by the way, it’s been on my mind but are you going to continually repeat these fights with no end?” (Naofumi)
“I also don’t know the details of that. Just that the spirit of the fan told me. That an end will come eventually for this fight as well. And that even the being pretending to be God has limits.” (Glass)
Next is the issue regarding the Saint Weapons and Vassal weapons.
If we don’t power up all the Saint Weapons and Vassal Weapons, we probably won’t be able to overcome the waves.
Beginning with Raphtalia, they each check their own status and help manuals.
Our weapons had mutual compatibility to convert those processes and operate them.
With this the Four Saints should unlock the parts released by the Vassal weapons.
There’s quite a lot but if we don’t listen and test them all we won’t become stronger so it can’t be helped.
“I suppose I’m first.” (Raphtalia)
“Er, the mallet’s enhancement method written in the manual is weapon synthesis.” (Raphtalia)
“Weapon synthesis….” (Naofumi)
“Apparently it’s about conferring the weapon tree’s most characteristic special ability onto other weapons.” (Raphtalia)

So it won’t go that well….
Or I should say, with this my skill, Reflect Shield, seems like it’s turned into a dead skill but….
Well, it can still be put to practical use so it’s fine?
Ren enhanced his weapon many times and then came to address me.
An image of entrusting a fully enhanced blade to a blacksmith and receiving a famous roguelike weapon comes to mind.
Or rather, did synthesizing to a specific rule turn it into the strongest sword?
Ren showed the transformed sword he was experimenting with.
Oh, there was an incredibly pretty ornament added on the sword. A dragon scale glittered, it looked cool.
Taniko glared with all her heart. She’s angry since he possessed the sword that killed her father, huh.
Let’s not go into why he synthesized together only swords that were effective against dragons.
I see, so the mallet was a vassal weapon with a smithing aspect.
…..I wonder why it chose Raphtalia?
A mallet for Raphtalia…. A hammer, huh.
I wonder if Raphtalia would get angry and change it to a 1 tonne hammer and hit me with it if I went on a date with the villagers.
I’m thinking too much, huh.
Or I should say, it probably fits Raphtalia perfectly, her having a straight-man disposition.
Let’s have Imia’s Uncle make the PikoPiko Hammer and let her copy it. [T/N: Squeaky Hammer]
Then… it probably won’t hurt, and I’ll be careful to never let her turn it into a 1 tonne hammer.
Raphtalia completely suspects me.
It would be bothersome in various ways so I diverted the conversation.
