Once we were finally done with the Coats creation, we unexpectedly earned a lot of EXP and Proficiency. Not only I ended leveling an extra level but also Eric and Alberta. Because their Talents were production-derived, they seem to also be able to earn EXP by creating items.
Everyone immediately started wearing them to make sure we could bear with the monster's flames much better, and without having to rely on rain magic to weaken them enough. Like this, we were all set.
"Wow, they look stylish and all! Amazingly done, Blake, Eric, Alberta!" Alianna said, she was the first one to wear the coat.
"Well, it is certainly alright… Though did you had to keep the head of the bear?!" Asked Clarice, feeling slightly annoyed by it, most likely.
"I-It is stylish too!" Said Alberta.
"I like it!" Patricia said. "Are you serious that I can have it for free? A coat of this quality would usually cost a lot of coins…"
"Sure, you can have it for free." Eric said.
"Yeah, all of you helped hunting them." I said.
"I-I would feel ashamed if I asked you for m-money…" Alberta said.
After everyone had a small break and wore the coats, we moved forward without stopping, quickly advancing across the Cactus Forest, and arriving at our destination, an enormous army of Fiery Grizzlies rushing straight towards us.
They were most likely alerted of our presence after the battle sound and the rain that happened. They all were still wet, and slightly weakened, although the heat of the place was probably easily helping them dry out quickly.
I quickly summoned my Familiars for battle to weaken the bears and distract them. The Fenrirs we were all riding were competent fighters as well and helped everyone get the higher ground and evade attacks while unleashing their blows swiftly.
"Attack! Don't let them escape if they panic! Surround them like we practiced countless times before!" I commanded, many Fenrirs gathered together and surrounded the large group of over fifty bears, Alianna's team began shooting Water and Ice Attribute Spells at them while Alianna herself charged forwards.
"[Deep Water's Thrust]!"
Alianna had improved quite well over this small journey after leveling a lot. Her strength was better and her movements more precise and swift. She was also managing to learn how to use Ki naturally with her weapon techniques without me even teaching her about it.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Her Magic Spear, which seemed rather fancy and probably forged in her Kingdom unleashed a barrage of attacks, hitting two Fiery Grizzlies at the same time and filling the two of them with holes.
Their flames were useless as her coat kept her protected from the fire attribute really well, and her Hammerhead Shark Spirit covered her back, slamming the bears with its gigantic head, tail, or biting them apart mercilessly.
"Charge forwards, my steed!" Laughed Clarice, as Fenrir charged forwards against two bears at once. The Fireballs launched at her were easily intercepted and neutralized by her coat, which she pulled in front like a shield to protect Fenrir as well.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!
"HAAAH! [Gladiator's Strength]! [Skull Smasher]!"
Her entire body unleashed a powerful red and orange colored aura, enhancing her physical strength completely thanks to her Gladiator Talent's buff, and then she used the simple Axe Technique [Skull Smasher] to smash the head of a bear with all her strength.
CLAAAASH!
Her Lion Axe Spirit was very convenient, easily amplifying her power even further. Weapon-type Spirits are as broken as always, but aside from hitting things with their power, they're rather useless and can't do things for the user either. Nonetheless, they're perfect for reckless front-line fighters like her. Clarice has also grown quite well.
Meanwhile, everyone else was doing their best to fight the Grizzlies. Now that we had our Coats, the field was finally evened out and we were capable of holding ourselves much better than before. Spore unleashed his Spore Skills and poisoned, paralyzed, and confused the beasts, while my Vampire Spirits and I gave them their finishing blows when they least expected it.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
My handgun was amazing, now that it was upgraded and temporarily buffed by Alberta's Skills, which she also used on everyone else's weapons (it even works on Weapon-type spirits), it dealt much more damage, and the Freezing Bullets were ideal, instead of taking multiple bullets, the bears died after two bullets in the head, as their entire skull and brain would end up frozen.
Eleanora swiftly sliced the Bears though bodies, covering them on slicing wounds and slowly draining their own Blood to feed herself and at the same time, attack them combining Blood Magic and Blood Edge with it.
Hendrick used needles covered on poisonous and paralyzing toxins, alongside threads created out of poison and blood from the very bears, wrapping their bodies with sharp poisonous threads and overall making their struggle even more painful.
Saphira swiftly covered the battlefield with her phantasmal powers, raising the dead bears into her temporary undead partners and making them beat their former companions, while she sometime possessed one of them to make them stop moving, making them much easier targets.
Lastly, Ruby and Blood, the little Blood Dragon and the Blood Wolf continued their onslaught, attacking the bears in company of the Familiars, easily eliminating anything that slipped past the attacks of everyone else.
Ultimately, and rather swiftly, we finished all fifty of these bears with barely any exhaustion and efficiently. The power of preparation was already very clear, and the EXP of over fifty D Rank monsters was also quite delighting.
Now, the only thing left is the Boss of this area, the last group of Fiery Grizzlies was approaching us rapidly…
"GROOOOOAAAARRRR!"
