Blade Skill Online: With Trash Job ‘Summoner’, Weakest Weapon ‘Bow’, and Rotten Stat ‘Luck’, I Rise

[Gigantic Force, Gigataro!]

The Gigantic Dragon Plant fell to the ground with an extremely loud rumbling sound.

It cried in pain, but the battle wasn’t over yet. Lying down, it sprouted countless tentacles and flung them at me as I was free-falling! I had no way to dodge, and the thick tentacles closed in on me.

But…

“Come, my bow!”

In response to my shout, my ‘Beginner Bow’ spun like a boomerang and flew into my hand.

It was the effect of ‘Use It Properly!’. Thanks to it, I could throw away my bow without worry.

I hurriedly nocked Pontaro and the gang, then released the bowstring!

[Kishashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

“Gugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

Jet-black arrows shot out like lasers, pierced through the center of the swarm of tentacles, and planted themselves into the Dragon Plant’s face.

A scream erupted from the gigantic plant dragon’s mouth, and all the tentacles went haywire!

Alright, time to finish this for real. No longer had any use, I threw my bow in the air to activate ‘Psycho’! It doubled my melee damage for 3 seconds after throwing away my bow!

“Uooooooooooooooooooo!” I clenched my fist as I felt power overflowing my body. Forgot to mention, but I was falling straight toward the Gigantic Dragon Plant’s face!

“Gugagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

“Eat thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!”

Then, an impact sound echoed!

My zero Strength no longer mattered. A punch backed by the momentum of my falling from a height of over 100 meters smashed into the damned dragon’s face!

As ‘Guts’ nullified the recoil damage I took, the Gigantic Dragon Plant released a loud pained cry and—

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Congratulations! You have succeeded in defeating solo Dungeon Boss: Gigantic Dragon Plant!

Yuri, Pontaro, and the rest have obtained a large number of experience points! Pontaro’s level has reached 27, and Yuri’s level has reached 25!

Pontaro’s level has exceeded 25. Race evolution is available!

Yuri has reached level 25. Job evolution is available!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” I roared, celebrating my victory atop the corpse of the Dragon Plant! The sounds of party poppers popping reverberated around the boss room, and Pontaro and the gang vibrated to congratulate me!

Or rather, Pontaro would evolve?! And so would I?! The hell was job evolution, anyway?!

As I was taken by joy and surprise, Miss Message continued her report.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Condition: ‘Kill a boss monster whose level is 10 or more higher than your own with your fist’ cleared!

You have acquired the skill ‘God-Slaying Fist’!

‘God-Slaying Fist’: Activate automatically when punching. Makes the user’s hands ‘invincible’ for 1 second. Nullifies all damage, impacts, and debuffs for 1 second.

Condition: ‘Activate ‘Guts’ skill more than 100 times’ cleared!

‘Guts’ has evolved into ‘Tenacity’!

‘Tenacity’: Upon receiving an attack that may cause death, has a low probability of withstanding with 1 HP. Doubles the next damage dealt to the enemy.

Condition: ‘Solo defeat a boss monster whose level is 10 or more higher than your own’ cleared!

‘Giant Killing’ has evolved into ‘Genocide Killing’!

‘Genocide Killing’: Has a very low probability to double the damage dealt to the enemy. Triples if the enemy’s level is higher than the user’s.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

Two of my skills evolved! Was an evolution festival taking place or something?!

‘Guts’ was now a skill that had a damage-increasing effect in addition to its original effect, whereas ‘Giant Killing’ became a brutal skill that could be activated on monsters of all levels! The damage multiplier also increased significantly from a 10% damage increase to 2x or 3x.

‘God-Slaying Fist’ that I just acquired was quite an interesting skill, too. Simply put, it allowed me to fight barehanded against enemies with swords!

Hmm, fighting barehanded was more appealing now. Maybe I should throw away my bow more frequently going forward! Wahaha!

[World News! Gigantic Dragon Plant has been defeated for the first time single-handedly by Yuri! High-level dungeon: Insectivorous God’s Forest, fastest capture completed!]

Oh, here came the world news!

Hey, you evil beta testers who tricked me with false information?! And you bastards who think that Luck was a rotten stat?! Were you listening to this?!

As you could hear and see, I was doing really great! I was gonna go on a rampage at the battle event two days later, so you’d better prepare to get your asses kicked?!

“Alright~, now let’s go back to the town and check out this evolution stuff~.” I said as I jumped off the corpse of the Dragon Plant. It was then that it hit me. “Wait a second, why didn’t this guy disappear even though I already beat him?”

Monsters disappeared in a few seconds after their HP hit zero. But the Dragon Plant was still lying powerlessly on the ground.

Wondering what was going on, I tried to poke its face and…

“Guu, gugau~…”

“Whoa?! It’s still alive?!” I jumped back and readied my bow. But the Gigantic Dragon Plant didn’t move an inch, all it did was groan.

As I was puzzled by such an abnormal situation, Miss Message appeared before my eyes with a ping.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・Summoner-only: A hidden quest has occurred! Let’s feed the Gigantic Dragon Plant!

* Rewards will change depending on the monster’s satisfaction and satiety.

“Unpalatable and too little” → The audacity. Shoot the player with ‘Genocide Seven Lasers’ art.

“Delicious, but too little” or “Unpalatable, but a lot” → Okay, I’ll at least forgive you. Give the player a random highly rare item.

“Super delicious and lots!” → Greatly satisfied! Give the player “???”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Huh?! The fuck is this?!

“This bastard almost burned me to death?! And now you’re telling me to feed it?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

And you, a big guy like you should get your own food!” I yelled at the Dragon Plant, but it just let out a sad cry, “Wuu, wuu,” without moving an inch.

What was up with that ‘wuu, wuu’, huh? Were you a baby or something?

Hey, where did you think you were putting those tentacles on, huh? Quit touching my chest. It got no milk, take back your tentacles.

Haah~~~ guess I got no choice… I’d go back to the town and get some food. Oh, but if I leave the boss room, I might have to redo the boss battle again. Haah, this was so fucking annoying.

“Wonder if I’ve got some food on me,” I opened the menu screen, muttering to myself. But it was at that moment.

Like a bolt out of the blue, an idea struck me. Wait, this dungeon’s name is ‘Insectivorous God’s Forest’, isn’t it?

W-what if…?

“Putting away Pontaro and the gang… Okay, now come out, Jumbo Worms!”

“““Pikyakya~~~!”””

Giant, green caterpillars appeared while raising energetic shrieks. They were a part of the 100 or so Jumbo Worms I’d tamed while rampaging in the forest.

Hahaha, this was still just a guess, but feeding these guys to the Dragon Plant was likely the key to clearing the quest with the ‘Greatly satisfied!’ condition. I mean, common summoners with low Luck apparently had a hard time taming monsters. Clearing the quest with ‘Greatly satisfied!’ condition seemed to be the one that gave the best reward, so it was only natural that it would be hardest to fulfill as well.

It was when I thought so. “Gugaa?!” The Dragon Plant cried in joy as it extended its tentacles to catch the caterpillars!

“Gugagaga~~~~~~!”

“““Giepi~?!”””

…and then meal time began. The Dragon Plant swallowed the caterpillars whole one after another, and in a blink of an eye, it looked lively again.

Wait, so catching the worms and feeding them to it was really the right way to clear the quest?!

“Gugaa~?! Gugagaga~?!” The Dragon Plant raised its voice as though saying, “Hey, is there more~?! I wanna eat more~?!”

With a wry smile, I summoned one batch of caterpillars after another, and the Dragon Plant ate them up with great joy. When it had eaten over 100 jumbo worms.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・You have cleared the hidden quest with great success! The giant boss monster ‘Gigantic Dragon Plant’ has become your friend!

*Giant boss monsters can only be summoned for 10 seconds once every 10 minutes.

Summoning giant boss monsters will not consume summon slots. The giant boss monsters’ levels will be the same as the player own’s.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?! I could now summon it?!

Armor Knight was one thing as it was human-sized, but I thought it was impossible to tame a boss monster over 100 meters in length! Seriously… looked like I’d be having more hands to play at the battle event!

“I’ll be counting on you, Gigataro!”

“Gugaga~~~!”

Gigataro extended his thick tentacles to me and acted spoiled like a baby.
