In order to research and practice more chimera creation, I need to get more bodies.
Not only dugues, but also monsters from different species.
So, yea, the next target after the dugues are the monsters I'm already familiar with, weed dragon and its evolved variants.
Not only that, but I think it's about the time I hunt down the boss monster in that area.
The parent weed dragon.
But obviously there are side effects.
To collect the body parts, I need to sacrifice anybody related loot and since the weed dragons aren't carrying anything like sword and stuff means that I won't get any loot at all.
Body related loot are stuff like parts of their body and things like they wear, like dress, hat or stuff they wield like axes or swords, they can drop.
HOWEVER!
The items drops from the boss monster are extremely valuable…. BUT! So does the corpse if I can harvest it….
….
However, I will straight up waste the corpse with my current knowledge of the chimera crafting.
So, yea, even if I did had that corpse at hand right now, I could not use it right now.
I need to both experiment with the weed dragon bodies as well as understand how chimera creation really works.
So, yea, a lot of work is ahead of me.
First thing first, I went and hunted the weed dragon for my experiments... And honestly, I found some interesting things? Well… More like a giant problem.
Well…. Its bit complicated and I don't really how it works, so I will explain the best of my abilities.
Simply put, what I found out was that the plant monsters kind of cannot be turned into undeads.
Let me explain.
First thing first, I need to explain bit about the necromancy and the necromancer class.
The necromancy is one of the mage classes that is a combination of the summoner and mage.
From what I know based on the NPCs information, the necromancy uses an special element that represent death and control over as well as its symbols.
The symbols of the necromancy is divided into the body, like flesh, bones, soul, blood, corpse and just death.
Necromancy is about manipulating the death as well as manifesting some things related to it.
With necromancy you can take control over the corpse and use it to create an undead monster or you can manifest symbols of the necromancy the same way you create an fire ball, but instead create an ball of flesh or bones.
So honestly speaking, the necromancy isn't element of death but maybe more "Element of corpse"? It sound weird, but the necromancy is all about creating undead using corpse or manifesting things related to the bodies.
Anyway.
The necro element can be used with necromancy to infuse a dead being with fake life A.K.A turning it into undead.
Insects, birds, humans, fishes and other things that are alive can be turned into undead.
Plants can also be turned into undeads.
However, here comes the problem.
I did turned the weed dragon into an undead, however as soon as I did, its body was falling apart.
The undead do normally change into corpse…. Well, into the dead.
Rotten flesh or just get rid of it when making a skeleton.
But the weed dragon body wasn't able to handle any of that or change and straight up this popped up.
[Unable to create undead.]
This was… The first time that kind of message popped up.
The weed dragon body wasn't able to turn into undead.
There was a reaction, but instead of turning into undead, its body got damaged a lot, it suddenly withered and stuff.
I tried again and again, also on the evolved version and here are some results.
The necro energy isn't very good with plants, its straight up poison to them.
Its destroying their bodies, making it physically impossible to turn them into undead?
I guess even if I were so somehow turned it into undead, it would just destroy itself moments later or something.
My guess it's impossible to turn plant type monsters into undeads.
I don't know if all plant monsters can't be turned into undead or is it just weed dragon. Maybe there are plants that can be somehow turned into undeads.
For example, the tree spirits being called dryad.
They are a monster like creatures that are made out of the wood or plants and take on humanoid appearance, right? How would that work if I turned it into undead? Would it worked?
There is also a chance that I'm straight up missing something here I'm not seeing and may end up turning out that it wasn't because the target was a plant type monster.
Still, to confirm anything again, I need materials and a lot of different kinds of materials. So far, the weed dragons are the first plant type monsters I encountered, so yea, I don't know how long it will take me to find another plant type monster.
I also tried making a chimera using plant parts. However, this plan also failed. Both turning them into undead and taking them apart for body parts are both big failures.
So, yea. I don't know why it really works. Maybe turning plants into undead is impossible or something it's just weed dragons problems.
Maybe I need some sort of necromancer class that can control plants or something? Either way, I can forget about using weed dragon bodies.
Until I found out what the fuck is going on, plant monsters are off the table.
But that doesn't mean I can't hunt them.
If anything, I think I will enjoy the using the parent weed dragon materials.
So, yea, even though I can't use their bodies for necromancy, I can still use their drops for alchemy.
By the way, I noticed that I could get few new classes.
To be more specifically, 2 uncommon rarity classes.
The first class was a mage class.
[Advance Poison Mage]
And the second classes is [Expert Alchemist].
I unlocked both of these classes after hitting level 100 with both my classes.
This is interesting, but also annoying.
The interesting because I now know a way to unlock access to some new classes.
The annoying because of their rarity.
I don't know if my class can only use common rarity classes, so I may have no option to use these powered up version of my classes.
But I didn't learned them.
Why?
Well I need to focus on my necromancer and tamer classes right now.
Anyway, I went around, looking for that boss monster and honestly it didn't took me long to find it.
(Its here.) – though Phantasia while hiding behind the tree.
(Damn. That is a big bastard.)
(It look very similar to the weed dragon, the base form, but its way fuking bigger.)
(It's even bigger than bear.)
The giaganting weed dragon that was munching on the trees was a monster know as parent weed dragon.
A level 105 monster.
Alongside the giant weed dragon, there were also 5 smaller weed dragons roaming around it and each one was not normal weed dragon, it was an evolved variant.
(Boss monster, huh?)
(Unlike the regular monsters, these fuckers are strong like hell.)
(The bear boss and the rat boss I fought were both strong.)
(However, this boss is level over 100th, it won't be easy.)
(The monsters above level 100 get some sort of power up or something.)
(But so does the players.)
[Phantasia]
[Level 103]
[You have reached level 100.]
[You will get extra reward for leveling up from now on:
-Bonus 2 class point.
-Bonus 4 stat points.
-Bonus 0.5 to all stats.]
(We are around the same level, but what about the power?)
(There is also the fact that guy has also some bodyguards with it just like me and not the base weed dragon form but those evolved variants.)
(Honestly, they would have been a perfect test subjects to test out my new batch of chimeras.)
(But if by even slightest chance somebody sees them, I'm fucked.)
(….)
(Well, it's not like I'm weak.)
(Or should I say, "We are not weak".)
"Come out you bastards."
Phantasia began summoning a small group of undead alongside his rabbits and bear monsters.
The sudden appearance of the monsters instantly got attention of the boss monster that instantly spotted them, alarming the other weed dragons in the process.
(I've been putting every single of my points into [Necro Mastery] or [Taming Mastery] since I need both of these stats for my chimeras.)
(I may not be able to use my chimeras, but I can as well damn use non chimeras monsters to fuck you up.)
"Undeads. You are up first."
"Go."
Phantasia undead dugues began running towards the enemy monsters and in response, the parent weed dragon roared and two of the dandelion dragons open their mouth and spit out a barrage of the magic seed from their mouth.
The seeds flew at the corpse and skeleton monsters, hitting them like bullets and blowing some holes in their bodies.
However, these monsters were just sacrificial pawns and before the parent weed dragon realized, one of its servants was killed.
"?!" – the parent weed dragon looked as suddenly one of its servants was killed.
The boss monster was confused, but when it looked at its servant corpse it realized it had something sticking out from its forehead.
It was crossbow bolt fired by Phantasia.
However, it wasn't the end.
Suddenly a bolt made out of poison cloud flew at the second dandelion dragon, blowing up and covering the monster in the cloud of poison.
The parent weed dragon sense danger and tried to blow away the poison, but then the 3 rabbits appeared from out of the blue and attacked it.
"?!" – parent weed dragon became confused again, now not knowing how the hell these monsters got near it.
The parent weed dragon tired calling its servants to its side.
However, it was impossible.
Phantasia bear and the undead were occupying the clover dragon and the plantain dragons while the other dandelion dragon was being covered in poison.
"What is this?" – asked Phantasia.
"I though you would be hot shit or something since you are a boss."
"But what disappointment."
"This battle will not even last long."
