Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 159 Performance Testing



“Haa!”

Aiming at a rushing B-ranked Basilisk, Griffith fired her fast and rapier Level 5 Wind Spear spell and easily burst the head of the monster. She shot a few rounds anew and effectively killed five more Basilisks.

“Take these!”

With a cute voice, Yuki swiftly slashed her hands multiple times and unleashed six sharp Level 4 Wind Blades towards her targets.

Snap! 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘦𝑡

Before her opponents could go near, six Black Treants had been cleanly chopped horizontally into two halves by her blades of sharp wind and collapsed to the sand.

“Yeah!” Griffith and Yuki happily cheered after they had finished testing her buffed strengths in human form.

“Master! Did you see that?!” Yuki raised a hand and waved at me. “My human form is now as strong as my fox’s!”

“Yeah, Yuki!” I shouted since there was quite a distance between us. “I definitely saw that!”

“How about me, Master?!”

“Of course, Griffith! You too!”

After I gave my praises to the girls, I carefully collected their spoils into my Inventory. The Black Treants were useful in many ways. While the Basilisks, though they were utterly inedible, their venom could be used. I also need their blood for their magical irons.

Right now, we were currently at the 59th Floor of the dungeon, and Yuki and Griffith were experimenting with their new bodies by fighting some monsters on this floor.

Their performance in their human form could be compared to their performance yesterday when they slaughtered monsters in their original forms.

They would probably have a hard time if they were to fight in their human forms using the Anthropomorphization extra skill, which halved their Levels.

But with the Personification, Yuki and Griffith were able to use the full extent of their strengths, which greatly increased their performance in real combat even though their original mass was reduced a lot.

Since my familiars were able to fight heartfully in their human forms, their vocabulary of fighting styles could be expanded to an extent, such as learning how to wield weapons or do martial arts.

(Perhaps I should let them choose a weapon of their choice.)

If they happened to have a weapon in hand, they would be able to train their bodies in between monster hunting days like what Sister and I have been practicing. Doing that would increase their stat growth when leveling up, which would eventually make them more powerful.

Surprisingly, even though they had lost their magic cores in their human forms, they were still able to cast magic without incantations. I really envied them for it since me doing voiceless casting only reduces the output.

“Come here, you two.”

Once they stopped in front of me, I gave them a couple of pats and strokes on their heads, which they accepted with pleased expressions. These were their rewards for showing me the effectiveness of the Personification.

Flap.

The lustrous brown wings of Griffith even flapped a few times, which blew up the sand below her. The reason Griffith has wings in her human form is because I gave her the Partial Transformation extra skill of the Celestial Fox.

Partial Transformation allows a polymorphic holder to manifest a trait of one form on a different form, thus giving Griffith the ability to sprout her Griffon wings in her human form.

Griffith could also make her hands into claws, which were frighteningly sharp and durable, making them perfect for making fountains out of throats. With her wings, she looked like an angel, albeit one without pure white wings.

I bestowed the skill upon Griffith since I was well aware that aerial combat was her forte. Due to that, the upper garments of Griffith had always been open back to give way for her wings to grow.

“Good job, girls.”

They had killed quite a lot of monsters on this desert and leveled up by many. If they continue at this pace, they will be able to grow up faster, both physically and mentally.

“By the way, Master, is this the deepest Floor of the dungeon where we could train?”

Czarina asked, who was standing behind me alongside with Inari and Uriel. Then I ceased petting the two and turned away.

By the way, Czarina and Inari did not join the hunt since they would overpower the monsters on the Floor. Moreover, they found the monsters too weak for them, and there was a tendency that they might destroy this Floor if they exerted their full strength.

“To answer your question, this Floor is actually not the deepest part.”

“So why not conquer more Floors, Master?”

“I cannot do that for now.”

“Why though?”

“It is because I have a promise to my sister that we will be conquering this dungeon together.”

When Sister was still here, we used to conquer the dungeon and strengthen ourselves at the same time. Throughout our conquest, Sister and I dove the dungeon and reached the depth of the 60th Floor so far.

Even after she went to the empire to study, the door to the 60th Floor Guardian had never been opened, and I never opened it since my sister was not by my side. Also, I do not want to break my promise to her.

“Oh.” Inari gaped. “Master has a sister? It is my first time hearing anything about Master’s family.”

“Yeah.” Czarina corresponded. “Master said before that he had a family, but I have not heard of any of them.”

“Indeed, I have a sister, although she is currently in a faraway place. I also have a pair of parents and a betrothed partner.”

“Well, it was kind of a surprise that there are many important people that Master has.” Inari quietly murmured.

“Well, how about meeting them someday?”

“Meeting Master’s family?” Yuki pondered with a tilted head.

“Yes, Yuki.”

“Are you sure, Master?” Inari asked. “Are you fine introducing us to your family?”

“Of course I will, since you all are already my family. Besides, I cannot keep your existences secret forever.”

“If that is what Master wants, then we servants have no choice but to follow.”

“Thank you, everyone.” As soon as I said that, we did a group hug, including Uriel.

I had already decided that I would be introducing my familiars to my family as well as fulfilling my promise to introduce my women (not all, of course) to Sophia and my two mothers.

Besides, the dungeon had been filled with more people, so I somehow needed the assistance of my parents for the management. But I need to disclose the dungeon first in order to do that.

As we were in the middle of cuddling, Azrael suddenly called me.
