Chapter 6

Well, I managed to make the Catastrophic Dragon my partner, but one problem after another arises.

How am I supposed to take this massive body with me?

Getting it through the door... that’s physically impossible, right?

I’ve heard that familiars can be summoned through magic, so there must be some space where they can be summoned.

I considered sending it back there temporarily, but since I finally have a partner, I want to act together.

“...What should I do... I’m at a loss.”

As I muttered this, the Catastrophic Dragon suddenly began to glow and was enveloped in steam.

Before I could wonder what was happening, the steam cleared to reveal a small dragon with black scales and crimson eyes, flapping its wings cutely.

“Kyu!!”

A surprisingly adorable chirp, completely different from the fierce roar it had just let out.

How adorable. Something inside me feels like it’s waking up.

Phew, I need to calm myself down...

At this size, it can easily pass through the door.

By the way, what about the Catastrophic Dragon’s status as a familiar?

If it retains the floor boss’s status, it will be an unparalleled combat asset. In that case, I would be overshadowed, wouldn’t I?

I don’t know what it is, so let’s check.

It seems I can freely view my familiar’s status at will.

I’m confused about where to start, but let’s start here.

The Catastrophic Dragon is a girl. That’s the first surprise. But I feel like we can get along well as girls.

Next, there are two sets of stats displayed.

The ones in the thick frame are the Catastrophic Dragon’s original stats.

The ones not framed are my base stats plus the adjustment values of the Catastrophic Dragon and the adjustments from the Holy Sorceress’s blessing.

Even if a familiar is originally strong, their base stats are limited by the owner’s stats. I don’t know the exact reason.

However, because of this, the attack power has decreased.

Still, even with the adjustments, the attack power is over 150,000.

I think that’s more than enough. The only thing I’m a bit unhappy about is that my negative adjustments have been nullified by the title. I wanted to have the same attack power as this one...

Regarding the skills, it’s too much trouble to point out everything.

Let’s just say that the skills of the Catastrophic Dragon and I have combined, and that’s it.

By the way, I also learned the Catastrophic Dragon’s skills. It’s a power of the title "Master of the Catastrophic Dragon."

Title "Master of the Catastrophic Dragon"

Condition: Become the master of the Catastrophic Dragon

Power: Can learn the skills of the familiar

───────────────

Thanks to learning the skills, my adjustment values have also increased.

Well, even with the Catastrophic Dragon’s adjustment values, my magic and spirit power have increased, so my attack power hasn’t dropped from 1, which is still negative!

Well, still the same bug-level attack power!!

I’m envious of the "weakening effect is nullified" in the Catastrophic Dragon’s title...

I’m feeling a bit empty myself.

I’ll just have to decide not to care.

There’s one last thing I need to decide.

The name of this one.

"Catastrophic Dragon" is too long, so a name is needed. The status only has the individual name and no name.

Well, the Catastrophic Dragon.

The meaning is scary, but she’s a girl. A cute name would be better, right?

“...I’ve decided. Let’s call her Tart. I changed the 'Catastrophic' part to make it a cute name. How does that sound?”

“Kyu Kyu!!”

Tart seems happy, so I’m relieved.

Then, let’s move forward with our new companion, Tart.
