Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

As Allen explained that to Cecile, he continued testing what he could do together with the Wraith B summon.

[Catalog Skill]

-Doesn't consume Mana

-Unique to each summon, can't be shared between summons

-Storing, removing, and exchanging items can be done quickly by reaching a hand out

-Summons without hands can use voice command, feet, or their weapons to access the Catalog

-Up to 10000 items can be stored

-The cells can expand up to 100 meters, or shrink down to 3 centimeters

-Unused cells can be increased or decreased freely by the summon

-The cells can go from white to colorless at the summon's will

-Once a summon is Deleted, all items in Catalog get transferred to the Grimoire

-Cards inside the Holder have an accessible Catalog to move items into from the Grimoire

-It's possible to put storage items like magic bags into a cell

-Items inside a Catalog can't be used until they're taken out

"So I can put items into a Catalog directly from the Grimoire. That sounds useful, it should help with carrying a lot of items."

(That's useful, but still… Actually, I probably should stop complaining. This means I can drop giant rocks from the air after all. I don't know how much it'll help though.)

He decided to convince himself there were offensive ways to use the Skill too.

The only downside was that a 100 meter big rock falling on a Demon General would do a lot of damage, but it would not work against a Demigod Rank ghost, as rocks had no magic power.

"Anyway, let's try summoning an Angel B next."

"That's good, you can finally summon another Angel summon that isn't Merus."

With Generation's Skill Level going up, he had obtained the Angel B summon.

He had already obtained the Wraith D and Dragon C summons before.

His chest filled with expectation, Allen quickly used Create, Synthesis, and Generation to make an Angel B card as quickly as possible.

Pop

He grabbed the card that appeared in front of him.

"Generation always gives useful summons after all.Wait, hm? A ring?"

"What? Show me. Huh, it's a ring. It looks weird though."

There was no angel pictured on the card, just a ring.

Allen had never seen Merus from above, but his angel's ring probably looked like that.

But the image looked strange, like the pixels were shuffled, or the difference between a PNG and a JPG.

Cecile also noticed that, and looked puzzled at it.

(Let's just try summoning it. Maybe it's just the head of an angel.)

Maybe the perspective was just weird in the card's image.

"Alright, Angel B summon…huh?!"

"What's that! It's so big!!"

Allen and Cecile saw a giant ring floating in the air outside the wall.

Its surface looked coarse, making it clear that it was spinning clockwise.

Some of the beastmen and dragonkin also noticed it, and pointed at the ring with a radius of dozens of meters.

Allen moved closer to the countless weapons that were around ten meters away from him.

(So it's like a ring made of a bunch of weapons, or is it a weapon itself? A summon that is a weapon, huh.)

As Allen calmed down, he realized exactly what the ring in front of him was.

A bunch of weapons were arranged like a ring, spinning in front of him.

There were swords and shields, greatswords, axes and shields, battle axes, spears, halberds, whips, boomerangs, and even shurikens. Weapons from all regions and cultures.

The greatswords and battle axes were the same size as Kurena and Dogora's, so they were not weapons meant for giants.

In a way it was similar to how all the small rocks forming Saturn's rings become visible from close range.

Allen opened the Grimoire and checked the Angel B's page.

Looking through it, he saw it showed the stats of the roughly 100 weapons.

-Appearance of Angel B, sword and shield

[Species] Angel

[Rank] B

[Name] Dark Lightning Sword, Shield of Retribution

[Strength] 1000

[Spiritual Power] 1000

[Blessing] All stats +1000

[Special Skill] Peerless Whip, Whip Handling (7)

[Awakened Skill] Lightning Whip

(So the different weapons give different stats. It seems a single weapons has higher stats than a pair of sword and shield. There's a lot of lightning element Skills too. Hmhmm, they're really good weapons, but their Attack is too low so I can't use them. I wonder if I can use Growth like with other summons. Oh, it worked. I can also use Command.)

Allen tried using Growth on the Angel B summon, and its stats instantly shot up.

Growth would already start at Level 7 on Rank B summons, so he could raise it 2 times.

"Incredible! Using Command and Growth puts them on the level of Divine Artifacts? Wait no, it's even better!"

Allen recalled Divine Artifacts only reached up to 30000 Attack.

"Really? That's amazing."

"Alright! Now I'm the world's best swordsman!"

(And the Skill Level goes higher the more I use Growth too. It seems it's finally time for me to surpass Kurena's skill. Divine Knights mean nothing to me now.)

Those were weapons he had been yearning for for a long time, and there were 100 types of them.

Filled with excitement, he reached out for one of the swords in the ring.

Bump

'This weapon can only be used by summons'

'This weapon can only be used by summons'

'This weapon can only be used by summons'

The Grimoire suddenly appeared in front of him, showing a warning.

Allen reactively pulled his hand back.

"Whaaaaaat…these are summon weapons? Why is that even a thing? Hey Ellie, could you try holding that whip?"

Allen called a Wraith B summon.

'Understood. Like this?'

The Wraith B summon reached for one of the weapons in the ring.

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon'

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon'

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon'

(Hm? For Merus? Why didn't they tell me that from the start on then?)

'I'm so sorry?!'

The Wraith B summon seemed to notice she had tried to do something she was not allowed to, pulling her hand back.

"So that won't work. Then, can you try putting it inside you Catalog?"

(I doubt it'll work though.)

There were 100 weapons floating in the air in front of them, but it seemed not everyone could just use them. Allen still wanted to see if the Wraith B summon could put the weapons in her Catalog though.

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon. It can't be put inside a Catalog'

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon. It can't be put inside a Catalog'

'This weapon can only be used by an Angel A summon. It can't be put inside a Catalog'

'Hawawawa?!'

Allen had already anticipated that outcome.

He still felt bad for startling the Wraith B summon like that though.

"What does this mean? So only Merus can use them?"

"It seems so. Merus should be inside the Earth Labyrinth right now, but considering this timing…"

He thought he would not have much use for the Skill [Catalog], but the timing seemed specific for the Angel B summon, that was a bunch of weapons.

Only the Angel A summon that was Merus could use them though.

Considering all of that, Allen began to get an idea.
