My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Seeing Spot appear in front of him, a visible relief could be seen washing over Lucas' face.

Woof!

Hearing that, Lucas smiled and replied, "Yeah, it's good to see you too, bud."

Spot now looked energetic and was no longer as exhausted as he used to earlier. Although there were still minor wounds around his legs, it was negligible and had already begun to close. It seems that not summoning Spot earlier has been the best choice; otherwise, Spot would have not rested enough and would not be as energetic as he was now.

Woof!

As if realizing that they were in a perilous situation, Spot did not waste any more time as he ran forward.

"Alright, do what you see fit."

Lucas sighed and followed behind him, maintaining a distance of no less than four yards. Just like Spot, he also followed with extra caution, knowing full well that most beasts were active during the night.

Now, back in the bushy area, Spot continued with great speed ahead, with Lucas following behind him.

The next moment, Blood Spikes suddenly rose underneath where Spot was running.

However, instead of getting skewered, Spot dodged the Blood Spike accurately as his claw sharpened and elongated a little as he swiped it toward the Blood-Eyed Mole hiding in the distance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Blood-Eyed Mole barked in pain as blood rose out of it.

Spot did not stop his assault as he continued to attack the Blood-Eyed Mole with all his might.

When the Blood-Eyed Mole died and disintegrated into specks of light, Spot had already begun to run forward once more.

Following behind, Lucas was unable to react to what he just saw.

Spot, in his Gentle Dog form, actually managed to defeat an Iron Grade-Iron Star 1 Blood-Eyed Mole?

Granted that Spot was already at Iron Star 3 right now, it should just be normal for him to defeat those of lower rank than him.

However, the problem about it was that Spot was merely an Unranked Grade, and his Gentle Dog form was not a form suitable for battle.

It was called Gentle Dog for a reason after all, as it was not supposed to fight, much less be good with it.

'Is he being influenced by the Hellhound Manifestation form?' Lucas thought upon seeing that his Gentle Dog could now fight in such a flawless manner.

Considering how ferocious Spot was during its Hellhound form, it would be strange if it did not learn a thing or two while he was at it.

As Spot moved forward brazenly, they encountered more and more Blood-Eyed Mole for some reason.

Earlier, he had only encountered one when he was traversing this area. But now, there were a lot of them all of a sudden.

He did not know it was just some coincidence, but he did not like such coincidences at all.

Fortunately, Spot was already here, so their journey could still be considered smooth, to say the least.

The number of Blood-Eyed Mole they encountered already totaled to eleven. The number of experience points, though, paled in comparison to the effort that Spot put in to kill them.

In total, he only received 12.43 experience points, while his personal kill earlier only awarded him 1.13 experience points.

And to think that he almost died fighting that Blood-Eyed Mole, and the reward was just a meager 1.13 experience points.

Lucas felt like crying as he inspected the logs of his grimoire while Spot led the way forward.

The only good thing about this, though, was that he was now close to ranking up again.

The degree of advancements was staggering, to say the least. However, the amount of danger that he encountered to reach such speed was also appalling.

One could say that it was just balanced, just like how it was supposed to be.

A moment later, Lucas realized that Spot had already stopped.

Recovering his breath a little, Spot began to bark at one branch of the tree.

'So, you've been waiting for me? What a bastard!' Lucas cursed as he saw one of the branches bending down due to the beast's weight.

As if responding to him, the leaves of that branch shook as a beast's head emerged from it.

Staring at Lucas, the beast hissed threateningly as its body began to move.

In such a distance, Lucas could only vaguely tell what kind of beast it was due to the silhouette.

However, that was all that it took for him to discover what kind of beast it was as well.

'Indeed, it's indeed the Grotesque Chimp.'

The Grotesque Chimp was a horrible beast of Iron Grade-Iron Star 6 that dwells in the forests of the Outer Area.

Unlike the others, it usually does not live or be seen in a fixed place. Instead, it could be said it was all over the forest of the outer area. Sometimes such a beast would be sighted in White Stone Cliff, in the Ember Ant's area, and even in the Giant Dark Forest.

Being an Iron Star 6, it could be said that it was one of the most dangerous beasts one would find in the Outer Area, much like the Cliff Borne Ram. However, compared to the Cliff Borne Ram, the Grotesque Chimp was more dangerous in a sense that it could be anywhere and everywhere it liked with no fixed location.

It could not be traced, proactively hunted, and could only be chanced upon. Your adventure continues at empire

It was also recorded that this beast disliked setting foot in land and had always been seen jumping from one branch to another. Once it saw a prey, it would not attack it immediately but instead try to scare or subject them to horrible things before ultimately killing them.

In short, it liked to torture its victim.

And as luck, or bad luck may have it, Lucas somehow encountered this horrible beast of all people that frequented the dungeon.

Fortunately, Spot was already here.

Although he still did not know if Spot was able to fight it, they could still retreat away from the trees and escape from its maw. If it came to that, Lucas would have no other choice but to return to the Boundary Fog and return to the Safe Area from there, even if it may complicate some things.

However, Spot was not thinking the same.

His body grew tremendously as he assumed his Hellhound Manifestation form.

There were some warrines in his eyes, but most were still filled with battle intent and the desire to fight and even kill the beast that was hiding in the tree branch.

In his Hellhound Manifestation form, it seemed as if Spot did not think too highly of the grotesque beast. Treating it as nothing but a mere fly that it could swat easily.

Perhaps the Hellhound Manifestation form with its unruly nature and enhanced strength just made Spot arrogant, but who cares about arrogance now?

If he could fight and back the arrogance up, would it even matter in the end?

"Go!"

Lucas ordered with an unhurried tone; his pale face, however, betrayed the thought that was lingering in his mind as he made the order.

Hearing his order, Spot did not waste any more time as he jumped toward the beast.

With his strength, it only took him one simple leap to reach the branch where the Grotesque Chimp was perching on. His claws sharpened and elongated in mid-air as he swiped them toward the fiend.

The Grotesque Chimp, sensing the danger from the strike, chose to dodge by jumping toward another branch in a quick manner.

Spot's claws missed their target completely as Grotesque Chimp landed on another branch.

At that moment, Lucas finally saw the full appearance of the Grotesque Chimp. It was an appearance that he would not be able to forget soon.

Although he had already seen its appearance in the images of the documents he read before, seeing it in person still produced the same feeling as seeing it in person.

Its body was shaped like an overgrown infant. It has a massive head, almost twice the size of its body. Two long arms, unusually muscular, could be seen dangling to its side. Its two legs, however, in contrast to its two arms, were quite small and miniature. Its feet that resembled oversize hands gripped the branches tightly, holding it in place.

As the Grotesque Chimp landed in the branch, it turned around and looked at Spot with a chilling killing intent behind its furiously red eyes.

At the next moment, its maw opened wide, into four parts, revealing its hideously lined razor-sharp teeth hidden from within. Like a hideous flower that could devour anything, the Grotesque Chimp released a shrill cry that pierced Lucas and Spot's ears.

Lucas covered his ears as he grimaced in pain.

Spot, however, was a little better. He only shook his head for a moment before he jumped toward the Grotesque Chimp.

Still screaming, the Grotesque Chimp was a split second late and was unable to react to his strike in time.

Spot's claws descended like a sharp knife toward its chest.

Blood flowed out like a fountain. The Grotesque Chimp's eyes widened in anger and rage as one of its arms smashed toward Spot.

Boom!

Spot's fell to the ground with a thud. True to their sizes and looks, the arms of the Grotesque Chimp were indeed strong and heavy. Spot immediately stood up from the ground and once again jumped toward the Grotesque Chimp with his elongated claws.

The Grotesque Chimp responded and met him in mid-air with its two arms smashing toward Spot.

However, at the last second, Spot suddenly paused in mid-air. As it turns out, he did not truly jump but just hopped a little to deceive the chimp.

It was just a feint to make the Grotesque Chimp move.

His plan might be different, but it still achieved the same result. The Grotesque Chimp was still descending down, but Spot had already landed in all four. Stepping to the side, Spot once again lunged toward the Grotesque Chimp.

This time, it was him who had the edge as they met in mid-air.
