“Caw Caw Caw!”
An unpleasant and terrifying cry resounded through the wilderness. This was the voice of the demon forest monsters.
In order to fight for the position of the next successor of the clan, the blue-haired girl led a team to fight against the demon forest monsters, earning herself a bargaining chip to gain a higher position.
However, she did not expect that the clan’s information regarding this place would be so biased. The combat strength of the demon forest monsters far exceeded the capabilities of the troops she brought with her. Her subordinates were all defeated. She herself was only able to escape for a short period of time because of her loyal subordinates’ bloody battles.
However, the warhorses were all captured by the demon forest monsters’ designs. Naturally, she could not successfully escape from the demon forest monsters’ hands by relying on her two legs.
Now that she was surrounded at the bottom of this small hill, which was called ‘No Response’, summoning elemental lifeforms to fight the pursuing demon forest monsters to the death was her final decision.
Demon forest monsters were extremely cruel creatures, especially towards females. She would rather die in battle here than fall into the hands of the demon forest monsters!
“Ga!”
A demon forest monster noticed her and let out an exciting roar. While expressing its joy, it also sent a message to its companion.
The blue-haired girl fell onto the ground in panic, but there was still no movement from the summoning circle beside her.
Tears of unwillingness flowed down her face. Could it be that he had refused to respond to her summoning again?
Could it be that she was destined to die here today?
The excited demon forest monster rushed over with a hideous smile on its face.
She closed her eyes and aimed the dagger at her throat.
“Wah!”
The demon forest monster’s miserable cry suddenly sounded in her ears. A trace of hope suddenly rose in her heart. “He finally responded to my summoning?”
She opened her eyes and looked.
The human-shaped creature that was completely made of water was tall and majestic. It was wearing a black heavy armor made of bluestone. It was holding a giant yellow and blue sword in his hand. A powerful and mysterious wave was moving around his body. It was as powerful as a tsunami!
The demon forest monster that was charging at her had been cut into two by him. He turned around and looked at her.
It was a direct exchange of thoughts. A dignified voice sounded directly in her mind:
“Responding to the summoning, I am asking you, are you my summoner, girl?”
“Woo — ! Quack Quack Quack!”
Before Jon could ask clearly, three more demon forest monsters appeared. They saw their companion who had been killed in front of Jon, and they shouted as they were rushing towards Jon.
“Elemental Leap Wave Slash!”
Jon turned into an elemental stream and rushed towards them. When he passed by them, he slashed out three times consecutively, cutting off their heads.
“Ding! New quest unlocked. Kill demon forest monsters.”
“Ding! Mission completed. Level 7 demon forest monsters killed. Same level fragment + 100 obtained. Aura advanced fragment obtained from target’s body + 4.”
“Ding! Mission completed. Level 7 demon forest monsters killed. Same level fragment + 100 obtained. Aura advanced fragment obtained from target’s body + 4.”
“Ding! Mission completed. Level 7 demon forest monsters killed. Same level fragment + 100 obtained. Aura advanced fragment obtained from target’s body + 4.”
[ Ding, Mission completed. Level 8 demon forest monster killed. Same level fragment obtained + 150 obtained. Aura advanced fragment obtained from target’s body + 5. ]
Alright, it seemed like I would have to get used to the system’s behavior of getting on the train before buying a ticket.
Jon looked around and found that there was no longer any danger, so he returned to the blue-haired girl.
He could not help but praise her first. “Your hair color is really beautiful.”
He then asked, “Then, why did you summon me here? Could it be to deal with these three or four rookies? That might not be worth it.”
Iris was still in a daze. She was a magician who used water-type summoning magic. Logically speaking, she could only summon water elements, ice elements, and other elemental creatures to assist in the battle. However, this powerful and mysterious warrior in front of her, she had never seen or heard of him before.
Jon was clearly on the same level as those demon forest monsters, but he had killed them all in one move. What kind of insane combat power was this?
However, she quickly came back to her senses. “Please help me fight against the demon forest monsters!”
Not only did her mission fail, but she even lost all her personal guards. If she could not turn the situation around now, her life would be over. Not only would she lose the right to fight for the successor, she would also be completely marginalized, then, after the other successors took over, they would probably die from an unknown illness.
“Whoosh!”
Without waiting for Jon’s reply, a spear wrapped in combat aura suddenly rushed out from the forest. It tore through the air and headed straight for his head.
“Elemental Leap Slash!”
Jon did not panic. He transformed into an elemental stream and rushed into the forest where the spear came from. The spear passed through Jon’s body, which had transformed into an elemental stream. It did not cause any damage to him.
After charging into the forest, he saw the enemy that had ambushed him. It was a humanoid monster that was two meters tall. Its entire body was covered in green skin and it carried three spears on its back. It was exactly the same as the one that had ambushed Jon just now.
The virtual screen marked it:
The demon forest monster was level-13.
“I advise you to stay out of that little girl’s business. The implications of this could easily destroy a person. Summon creature!”
After meeting Jon, the green-skinned monster actually spoke in human language.
“Water rock elemental sword!”
Jon was not interested in talking to such an ugly and obviously small character. He immediately took out his water rock elemental sword and slashed at it.
“Ha!”
Seeing that Jon was the first to attack, the green-skinned monster retreated while pulling out the spear on its back. It covered it with combat aura and blocked Jon’s water rock elemental sword.
“Dual sword intent!”
Jon shouted. The sword aura in his hand suddenly doubled and directly cut the green-skinned monster’s spear in half.
“Elemental Spiritual Impact!”
After cutting the opponent’s weapon in half, Jon immediately rushed forward and used spiritual impact to temporarily stun the green-skinned monster. Finally, he chopped off its head with his sword.
“Ding! Mission completed. Level fragment + 300. Successfully extracted combat aura advanced fragment from the target’s body + 10.”
There were a lot of level shard and aura advanced shard obtained from killing this monster called the demon forest monster. Jon began to consider agreeing to the blue-haired girl’s request.
He returned to Iris and communicated with her telepathically, “My name is Jon. I don’t know your name yet.”
After the blue-haired girl answered her name, Jon began to bargain with her, “It’s not impossible for me to help you. It’s just that the Frost Gem you gave me is not enough to make up for the elemental power consumption that I will lose in this battle.”
“I will definitely give you another such gem in the future, and all the spoils of this battle will be yours.” Iris said immediately.
