BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101: Mission: Raise to level 3
Should he make them level up?
It seemed it wasn\'t needed for now, so he shook his head. He needed to focus on the real world, as that was the true danger lurks. Instead, he decided to consider leveling up something else.
He reached into his storage ring and pulled out a handful of special grasses, each blade shimmering with an otherworldly glow.
"Feast," Lyerin commanded, tossing the grasses into the air.
The beasts scrambled forward, their massive bodies jostling as they fought to get a taste of the magical flora.
Within moments, the grass had been devoured, and Lyerin watched as a series of notifications appeared before his eyes, each one signaling the activation of a mission.
[ Option 1: Tame the Beasts - Feed the Mana Beasts the special grasses.
[ Option 2: Strengthen the Tribe - Provide the Mana Beasts with clean magical water.
[ Option 3: Solidify Bonds - Ensure the Mana Beasts are properly hydrated to boost their loyalty.
[ Option 4: Empower the Tribe - Guide the Mana Beasts through the process of channeling their newfound strength.
[ Option 5: Fortify the Tribe - Maintain the health and well-being of the Mana Beasts to prepare them for upcoming battles. ]
Lyerin glanced at the missions, his mind already strategizing on how to complete them effectively.
Yet, he had to choose one.
The one who could help him in the real world.
He raised his hand, focusing his mana into the air.
Slowly, the mana formed into the shape of a bowl, translucent and shimmering with energy. With a subtle motion, he filled the bowl with clean magical water, the liquid swirling with faint blue light.
"I\'ll choose the Option one…"
Of course, Lyerin would. If his taming ability back then was strong, he could have made those Eldritch horses level up more back in the real world.
So he would choose this.
Army of Colossal beasts were better after all.
The Mana Beasts watched him with keen interest, their eyes fixated on the water. Lyerin carefully lowered the bowl, allowing them to drink.
They approached cautiously at first, but once they tasted the water, they drank greedily, their roars of satisfaction echoing through the area.
Lyerin couldn\'t help but chuckle at their reaction. "Enjoy it while you can," he muttered under his breath, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
As they drank, another notification appeared before Lyerin\'s eyes.
| Ding!
| Mission Complete: The taming level of your Mana Beasts has reached the Initial Stage of Second Cycle. |
The beasts roared again, this time louder, their voices reverberating across the landscape.
Lyerin could sense their power growing, their bond with him strengthening. But he knew there was more to be done. The system wasn\'t done with him yet.
| Ding!
| New Mission: Give and let the Mana Beasts drink two bowls of water. |
Lyerin smirked. The special grass he had fed them was designed to make them incredibly thirsty the more they drink, and the sign the system, Lgerin was capitalizing on that.
He conjured more bowls of water, each one larger than the last, and placed them before the beasts. They drank with renewed vigor, their eyes wild with need.
One bowl. Two bowls. Three. The missions kept piling up, each one more demanding than the last. But Lyerin was relentless, conjuring water and feeding the beasts until the notifications came in a flurry.
| Ding!
| Mission Complete: Give and let the Mana Beasts drink of bowls of water. |
| Ding!
| Mission Complete: Give and let the Mana Beasts drink four bowls of water.
| Ding!
| Mission Complete: Give and let the Mana Beasts drink five bowls of water. |
The beasts roared in unison, their voices a deafening cacophony of power and pride. Lyerin\'s chest swelled with satisfaction as he watched them grow stronger, their bodies radiating with a new level of energy.
| Ding!
| The taming level of your Mana Beasts has reached the Peak of the Second Cycle. |
But just as he was about to revel in his success, another notification appeared, this one halting his progress.
| Ding!
| The Stonehooves Tribe level is limited. You cannot level up any further.
| The tribe must reach level three first. |
Lyerin frowned, his mind racing. He had been so focused on leveling up the beasts that he hadn\'t considered the tribe\'s overall level. The Stonehooves Tribe was currently at level two, and he needed to push it to level three if he wanted to continue.
He closed his eyes, considering his options. He had three methods to level up, but he had already used two.
The first method was to level up the tribe by completing dungeon missions, ensuring that his Mana Beasts and the girls laid waste to a dungeon. He had set it up so that once they completed one dungeon, they would be transported to another automatically, allowing them to level up continuously.
The second method was to level up his taming ability. He had focused on this because it would be a waste to level up the Mana Beasts in this ruined magical world.
Instead, he wanted them to level up in the real world, where they could prey on Tentatorns and Evolved Fleshers. Now, only one option remained.
Lyerin reached out and touched the tribe\'s statue, causing a list of potential level-up options to appear before him.
| Recommendation 1: Increase the tribe\'s overall strength by expanding its territory.
| Recommendation 2: Recruit additional Mana Beasts and increase the tribe\'s numbers.
| Recommendation 3: Enhance the tribe\'s defensive capabilities by constructing fortified structures.
| Recommendation 4: Develop the tribe\'s magical capabilities by creating a mana reservoir. |
Lyerin scanned the options, his gaze settling on the most important one.
| Ding!
| The Stonehooves Tribe is currently at level two.
| Would you like to raise it to level three? |
Lyerin didn\'t hesitate. "Yes."
As soon as he gave the command, another notification appeared.
| Ding!
| New Mission: Ensure the tribe has the basic necessities: breathable air, drinking and bathing water, food, temperature control, and shelter. |
Lyerin\'s lips curled into a smile.
These missions were straightforward.
However, the first one was problematic. His tribe isn\'t strong enough yet and would likely face a setback, especially since they were targeted by the Hundred Bison Tribe and the Snow Leopard Tribe.
Second, even if he succeeds, where should he put them? He didn\'t want this place to become crowded; it also lacks basic necessities, so they would likely die if he added more people.
Yes, Lyerin could easily do it, but does he need to? Didn\'t he choose the raging brute path because he wanted to invade, not defend?
While the fourth option was laughable—magic capabilities?—he wouldn\'t be able to use them. These beasts rely solely on brute force and cannot use magic right now. Perhaps once they level up to the third cycle, they could do so easily.
So, he had no choice but to prioritize basic necessities first.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin bearing the insignia of the Borgias family.
With the coin in hand, Lyerin looked out at the horizon, with his mind already planning the next steps.
The future of the Stonehooves Tribe was bright, and nothing would stand in his way.
With determination burning in his eyes, Lyerin pocketed the coin and began to prepare for the next phase of his plan.
The tribe would reach level three, and when it did, it would be a force to be reckoned with in this world and beyond. And why? Because he had an idea what would be needed next to reach level four tribe!
It will be…
MAGIC TRIBAL WAR!!
