My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

With the salt seasoning the meat, the taste was extremely good.

Lucas closed his eyes to savor the delicious meat.

Around him, the sound of chewing echoed like a drum of victory. As someone who prepared the meat, the more vigorous the chewing, the more it was a compliment to him.

Although it was just a simple seasoning of salt, Lucas was still proud that his cooking had satisfied.

If his mother were here, she would surely compliment him for doing a good job.

"Thank you for the meal! It's very delicious."

Just then, a soft voice entered his ears, waking him up from his stupor.

Lucas opened his eyes and turned to look, only to see Shelsea staring at him with a smile.

Lucas' heart melted as he responded with a smile of his own.

"There's still more; you guys take seconds."

Shelsea and the others shook their heads. What Lucas had given to them earlier was already very enough to satisfy them.

Such a large piece of meat, normally they would not be able to finish, but since it was the premium meat of Vile Vulture and it was seasoned well, they naturally ended up eating more.

Lucas did not insist and continued to savor the Vile Vulture meat on his hands.

He thought of the Mirage Worm, but since it doesn't like to eat meat, he refrained from summoning it to have a taste of this wonderful Vile Vulture.

Lucas even thought that the Mirage Worm might even appreciate his gestures of not disturbing it from its rest inside the grimoire.

Speaking of the grimoire, Lucas remembered that he had not checked the logs of the grimoire after Spot killed the Vile Vulture.

With a thought, Lucas summoned his grimoire and immediately turned to the first page to read the information, curious of how many points he obtained from the kill.

As an Iron Grade Grimoire user, it should be a lot, right?

[You have killed a Silver Grade-Bronze Star 3, Vile Vulture (100%): You gained 1599.61 XP]

Seeing the amount of experience points he got, Lucas could not help but show a satisfied smile.

He glanced back toward the grade and rank of the Vile Vulture, surprised to see that it was actually quite high.

If Spot had not recently ranked up, Lucas knew that the fight with such a beast would surely not end as easily.

Aside from the Verdant Bloom Vine and the Tri-Colored Finch, which they only killed by luck, this Vile Vulture was actually the first Silver Grade and Bronze Star beast that they had killed.

The Black Winged Hare was also a Bronze Star beast, but in terms of raw strength, it paled in comparison to the current Vile Vulture with a Silver Grade.

Not only was the former more powerful in the same star, it was also more smarter and intelligent.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

For an Iron Star 5, to jump grades and stars to slay a Silver Grade-Bronze Star 3 beast was quite a feat that was unheard of even for Gold Grade grimoire users.

After all, Gold Grade Beasts could only slay Silver Grade Beasts that were four minor stars higher than them. Anything above that and they would be helpless.

As for Spot, with his Iron Star 5 strength, he was able to slay Bronze Star 3 beasts.

Not even counting their grade difference, it was already a cross-rank kill of 8 stars, not to mention the fact that there was a major star difference.

Even until now, Lucas had still not gauged the real extent of Spot's strength.

Every time he thought that he already had it figured out, Spot would just go and shatter his misconceptions.

That was why nowadays he would no longer bother about the trivialities and just allow Spot to gauge the opponent on his own.

If he was willing to fight an enemy, then it could only mean that he was confident in defeating them.

Since then, his life has become easier, and all he needed to worry about was his own safety during a fight.

How to defeat this or that?

Just leave it to Spot. If he could not do it? Then escape!

Such a simple life.

Lucas closed the grimoire and ate the meat in his hand with a smile.

He was getting closer to Bronze Star 1, and by then, he would be able to obtain one of his beasts skills at random. He just hoped that it was not something like Gentle Gaze that could not be properly used during a battle.

Lucas silently prayed.

Meanwhile, upon seeing the grimoire on his hand, the group could not help but take a second look the moment they noticed that it was only an Iron Grade, even lower than theirs.

With Spot's strength, they initially thought that his grimoire was at least at Silver Grade like Shelsea and Spot's grade to be at Silver or even Gold Grade.

However, contrary to their expectations, his grimoire was actually just an Iron Grade.

For a moment, they even thought that they were just hallucinating after eating too much Vile Vulture meat.

However, they stared intently, and the iron-like color of his grimoire still did not change.

As the realization dawned on them, they could not help but suck a cold breath of air.

As an Iron Grade Grimoire user, it meant that he could only contract Bronze Grade beasts at most. But the strength showcased by Spot earlier was not something a Bronze Grade beast could achieve. Find your next read on empire

After all, most of their beasts were of the Bronze Grade, but they were not nearly as powerful and domineering as Spot.

They considered another possibility, that maybe they were just very high level, with their strength reaching the Silver Star rank or above.

However, upon taking a closer look and seeing the color of the stars that decorated his grimoire, the group could not help but rub their eyes just to make sure that what they were seeing was real.

Doesn't have a high grade and doesn't have a high rank.

Then how the hell did Spot defeat the Vile Vulture so easily?

This question would remain a mystery to them for the time to come.

As even if they asked, Lucas would not tell them his deepest secret.

As afraid of offending him and shattering the delicate balance they had formed, the group refrained from asking about it as well.

'Are the summoners outside of Serene City this powerful?'

They could not help but think of such an idea.

Anyway, Lucas was not an enemy, so they should not worry about it any further.

In fact, they should even feel happy about gaining a powerful ally.

When they thought of it like that, they indeed felt safer.

Their journey back to Serene City should no longer be filled with danger.

The only thing they needed to worry about was the Vile Vulture that would appear and rob them of their hunts out of nowhere. However, with Lucas by their side, this problem should no longer be considered a problem, right?

Some time later, the group packed their things as they prepared to move.

With their agenda here being done, it was now time to return to Serene City and enjoy some leisure days.

With Shelsea on the lead, Lucas and the others followed closely behind, staying alert in their surroundings.

Since it was costly to maintain summoning their beasts all the time, the group canceled their summoning right after they were done eating.

As for Lucas having Spot in a summoning state ever since they met him, they did not think too much about it, as it would only hurt their brain.

In fact, they had been baffled by this since earlier as well.

Part of the reason why they thought they were high-leveled was due to the fact that Lucas could afford summoning his contracted beast all the time.

This was because when a summoner reached the Silver Grade, their Spiritual Energy speed would be enhanced, and even if they don't meditate, they would still be able to gain Spiritual Energy as if they were in a state of meditation.

However, ever since knowing that Lucas was only an Iron Grade-Iron Star 9 summoner, and yet his summon was still able to defeat a Silver Grade Bronze Star Vile Vulture, they no longer thought about his summoning as something strange.

To not hurt their brains, they just attributed such capabilities to the humans on the other side of Serene City.

Perhaps they had already advanced so much that summoning their beasts all the time was no longer a problem even in low levels?

They could not wait to ask Lucas about it; unfortunately, their relationships were not close enough to ask such questions yet.

In the future, maybe.

What they did not know was that even Lucas himself was unaware that they had technology like that.

If they did, would he even feel happy after obtaining his first Grimoire talent?

Speaking of his grimoire talent, Lucas could not help but ponder about his next course of action upon arriving at Serene City.

For starters, he must solidify his information regarding the surrounding areas. Search around and see if there were any paths toward the other part of human civilization that he was familiar with.

While doing that, he hoped to enter an unconquered dungeon so that he could allow the System to 'devour' them to allow him to increase his strength at the fundamental level.

Fortunately, the people in Serene City no longer conquered dungeons, but the problem was that there were no longer any dungeons near Serene City, so to enter one, an intense search and time must be needed and allocated first.

Some time later, the group decided to take a rest.

Seeing the opportunity, Lucas asked about the dungeon situation in Serene City in detail.
