Terrarian Chapter 59 (Patreon)

I took this time to as I was all but sequestered into this lovely log cabin to revamp my combat loadout in all manner of things except for my armor as I really didn't need or want to change it until I dealt with Slime God and could switch to Statigel Armor.

So instead, I upgraded my Space gun into a Magna cannon that instead of shooting a straight laser at something like its previous form, this new magical gun used my mana to send a ring of slower plasma that would collide with its targets. And to further round out my ranged options I finally gave up and did it.

I made the mini shark... Actually, I made like half a dozen as I needed the guns to make other stuff and it was literally an astoundingly easy thing to make as it didn't have all the complicated firing mechanisms a normal gun would. No instead it was a weird weapons system platform I made with some iron bars and then shoved into the gullet of a small dead shark like fish and then the sharks teeth would somehow merge into the gun and become a mini shark that I could carry around and shoot.

Did I think that guns were stupid and weird for a fantasy world? Yes, I most certainly did, and I wasn't and couldn't even rely on them until I could make the stronger ones as I knew damned well that Ais could move and fight at more than a couple hundred mile an hour if she wanted to, so she could cut and block bullets out of the air if the rounds could even pierce her enhanced adventurer body to begin with.

But the majority of time I spent in that cabin I worked at the arduous process of creating a couple enchantments from the Fargo's mod. Because with the Fargo's mod I had a massive list of things call 'enchantments' that were just badges that had whole skills attached to them like normal accessories I could craft did. But these accessories were different as there were literally seventy-six of them and I could combine them all together at some point allowing me to have the effects of all seventy-six of them in a single accessory slot...

To say the least the Calamity mod was the background of my combat strength but my foundation and what will truly make me ascend this world and become invincible was the Fargo's mod as once I reach the endgame item of making the Soul of Eternity that was the combination of literally a couple hundred accessories... Yeah, if I had it now at my current level two strength, I had no doubt I could roll Ottar without issues.

So, in the three days I spent in the cabin I made four enchantments with all the materials I collected that I knew would be useful for a good while anyway.

The Rain Enchantment which made me immune to getting wet... Also summon a small storm cloud above wherever I was looking that would every few seconds strike it with lightning. And apparently most importantly make me float at waist height in water. Granted this enchantment wasn't the greatest but the storm cloud effect was strong, and it was a good practice to make it as I used all premade things made by other people so I could get practice on how the hell to merge the weird objects together to make the enchantment.

The Necro enchantment that would perform some Necromancy on slain enemies and would revive them at a tenth of their natural strength which was a great loss of ability but when I slaughtered dozens of monsters in the dungeon when I called upon a horde or just dealing with the hordes called by the dungeon should I continue the premade tunnel system that would take a lot of pressure off me and it was also easy to make as all it needed was a bunch of stuff crafted out of bones.

The Snow enchantment that would bless all my spells, melee and even ranged attacks with a secondary effect of something called frost burn, basically reverse flames that would give extreme frost bite to whoever hit by me. While also giving me the ability to once every fifteen seconds send an all-consuming flash of icy essence around me that would freeze any enemies that weren't bosses or have special resistances.

And lasty the Wizard enchantment as it only required four robes made out of slightly magical materials. That last enchantment only had a single effect and that was to double the effects of other enchantments which wasn't much now but later when I had seventy plus of the damned things?

So, while Sir Fluffykins got used to riding the Wulfrim drone with its new weapon of choice a mini shark filled with non-lethal confetti rounds. I just enjoyed the screams of agony coming from the Apollo Familia members getting shot all through the nights by my terrorist squirrel and likewise during the day I kept them awake with the sounds of my beating metal in the outdoor anvil until finally at the end of the second day as I was cooking a pizza on the outside fire stove, I heard someone outside the hedge line call to me.

"Uhm Jake you there?" I heard a woman call out to me and after almost three days of only talking to an insane squirrel that wanted me to escalate into making confetti bombs for him to throw at the Apollo Familia I was honestly open to talking to literally. anyone.

"Yup I am here who is speaking?" I asked as I went to spin my pizza around in the stove so the back side of the pizza wouldn't get burnt from the flames in the background.

A heard some hurried whispering before the female voice spoke again and as I pulled the pizza out of the oven, I realized that the voice belonged to Cassandra, Apollo's seer.

"Jake the Apollo Familia has given up. We built a scaffolding to get to the top of the tower and of course there was nothing there... We can't destroy anything to get into your house as the wood blocks explosives and spells. So, we give up." Cassandra spoke tiredly and I paused as I wondered if this was a trick or something, but she continued in her tired voice.

"You have bullied us with great smelling foods, and we have been all but tortured for the last couple days with no sleep being possible to get. So, me and Daphne are calling it quits so we can actually get sleep tonight back in Orario and with us the only Level Two's left in the Familia leaving, the rest of the level ones should follow us." Cassandra finished and then moved away from the hedges, but I saw one shadow standing through the hedges where Cassandra was.

"You know what Jake Barris I cannot tell if this plan was cowardly or just you being merciful... Either way I thank you for saving our lives against that Monster Rex." I heard Daphne Llions, Cassandra's minder typically who kept the erratic girl who was messed with mentally by her prophetic dreams.

And thus, I was left alone for the rest of the night as the Apollo Familia truly just left the site of the Wargame as they threw their hands up in defeat without a single drop of blood being shed... Except for the people shot with exploding confetti and the one idiot who tried to climb the ice tower without any scaffolding only to fall off and break a leg.

"Wonder if Seshat spilled the beans about me leveling up and just what do the gods think of my treatment of Wargames?" I mused as I bit into my pizza, just enjoying the gentle soft noises of the wildlife surrounding my log cabin. Which was a big change from life in Orario.
