Enhancement Methods [Middle][]

"Next, let's continue with large weapons. Midori, you're up." (Naofumi)

"Ah, yes. The Axe's enhancement is... let's see, it seems to be Body Modification." (Midori)

"What's that?" (Naofumi)

"According to the Help, besides weapon bonuses, you can distribute points freely to your own status." (Midori)


So it has nothing to do with weapons. The Vassal Enhancement methods sure are broad.

I confirm my Status with magic.

There it is... around the stats portion.

More specifically, around Defense, Agility, and Magic, an arrow mark appeared.

When I slowly concentrate on it, a window pops up.


'Will you distribute Stat Points?'


I have quite a bit of points saved up. It's like those old games where you can distribute stats to your liking.

This is... can't I increase my attack so that I can fling myself at enemies!?

Thinking that, I try to distribute points into Attack.


But there is no arrow next to the Attack stat...


I fell to my knees, and took on the pose of despair.

Shield... why must you crumble my hopes so?

Thinking about how badly Tact failed to use the Shield when we were beating him up, I realize that I must have been forced into playing on lunatic mode!


It seems that Agility would be useful, but I wonder what I should do.

Ah, it seems resetting is possible.

But like the Cane and Gauntlets, there's a certain cooldown time.

This one is long. It takes three days before you can reset again.


"Is that it?" (Naofumi)

"No... it seems there's something else there." (Midori)

"Eh?" (Naofumi)


When I tried to exit out of the point allocation screen, something resembling a grid work appears.

What is this?

As I thought that, the points I input takes physical shape on the board.

Could it be that I'm supposed to mess with the points on this board? It's a puzzle!

As expected, if I don't make the correct shape with the inputted points, the strengthening won't take effect.


"Father-in-Law!" (Motoyasu)

"What is it, Motoyasu?" (Naofumi)

"I want to distribute all my points en masse, but should I?" (Motoyasu)

"... I can't guarantee that you won't die, but knock yourself out." (Naofumi)


Oh right, I think that in Motoyasu's game knowledge, weapons were but ornaments and status determined everything.
