My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

There was a tense expression on everyone's face.

"My Blood-Seeking Mouse has just detected the presence of a strong beast near us," Shelsea said, her tone somewhat fearful and grave.

Aside from being able to track beasts through their blood, her Blood-Seeking Mouse also has the ability to sense any living being with blood within a two hundred-meter radius around it.

Although it was small and lacking in direct combat ability, the Blood-Seeking Mouse was a beast perfect for scouting or reconnaissance. This was part of the reason why she contracted it in the first place.

Now, her choice was proven to be correct.

Out of habit, she summoned her Blood-Seeking Mouse before she slept and then summoned it once more the moment she woke up earlier.

Last night, it did not detect anything, hence she was able to sleep soundly.

However, just earlier, it detected a living creature, or more precisely, a beast lurking around them.

She hurriedly woke everyone up and was just about to wake Lucas up when she realized that his Gentle Dog had already woken up long ago.

Like her Blood-Seeking Mouse, it seemed to have detected the presence of that lurking beast as well.

Not long later, Lucas opened his eyes and woke up as well.

"Is it strong?" Lucas inquired.

From what he could understand from the Blood-Seeking Mouse's ability, not only could it detect living beings with blood, it could also gauge their strength based on the potency of their blood.

Shelsea nodded her head.

"From the looks of it, it should be the Bronze Star beast I told you guys about yesterday."

They had planned to make a long detour just to avoid that beast; they did not expect that it would come directly to them once morning came.

For a moment, Shelsea felt that her decision of staying here and waiting for the next to proceed further was a bad one.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, if they had indeed proceeded, she knew that they would still have to stop midway because it was already getting dark when they arrived at this place.

In the end, she could only blame their luck for arousing the attention of that Bronze Star beast.

If a fight indeed broke out, they could still defend, but defeating the Bronze Star beast would be unlikely, as they did not have a thorough preparation to face it. And if they could not kill it, then it could only mean a wasted endeavor.

Just a waste of time without gaining any benefit.

And in a worst-case scenario, one of their beasts might even get seriously injured, or even worse, die.

Unfortunately, they don't have any other choice. The beast was already lurking around them; it had clearly noticed them and was now lying in ambush.

She could only grit her teeth and order her Blood-Seeking Mouse to keep track of that beast.

As she turned to look at Lucas, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With him here, it should not be that difficult, right?

She just hopes so.

From the information she learned, this beast seemed to be at least Bronze Star 5. She wondered if his Gentle Dog was strong enough to contend with it.

Before she could think any further, she heard Lucas speak to his Gentle Dog with furrowed brows.

"What do you think? Can you deal with it?"

Woof!

The Gentle Dog replied and leapt away from his lap and then toward the forest.

Seeing that, Shelsea was about to warn that the beast was in that direction, and its strength likely surpassed Bronze Star 5.

However, recalling what Lucas asked and the fact that the Gentle Dog was able to notice the presence of the beast earlier, like her Blood-Seeking Mouse, she ended up swallowing back her words.

She then recalled how easily this seemingly docile Gentle Dog transformed into the ferocity that easily subdued the Vile Vulture that they would not even dare to face.

At the thought of that, a hint of anticipation rose on her face.

Perhaps realizing this, the others were also more or less acting the same.

After a while, a reverberating roar echoed in the surroundings, followed by a series of mini explosions that resounded in everyone's ears.

Their hearts beat rapidly as they waited, wondering what kind of battle was ensuing somewhere they could not see.

After a few minutes, the sound of battle stopped.

As for the result, they could only look at Lucas, waiting for his announcement.

On the other hand, a smile surfaced in Lucas' face.

He looked at them and said, "It looks like we'll be having a feast for breakfast."

After saying that, Lucas closed his eyes as he savored the sensation that coursed through his body.

Without even glancing at this grimoire, he already realized that he had upgraded to Bronze Star 1.

He has already experienced receiving feedback from the grimoire before every time his summoner rank rose a level.

Although he could also feel the enhancement during those times, Lucas realized that they were not as intense as the current feedback that was receiving.

He could clearly feel the massive enhancement of his body.

Perhaps it was due to him advancing a major grade, or even due to his now Iron Grade grimoire, but the degree of enhancement he received seemed to be even more potent than all the enhancements he received so far.

Stay tuned to empire

Lucas relished with the sensation for almost three minutes before it gradually came to a stop.

Although the sensation has ended, Lucas could tell that the strength of his body seemed to have doubled compared to before.

Even if he directly fought an Iron Star 5 beast right now, Lucas might not necessarily lose in a contest of strength.

Lucas was very satisfied with this enhancement.

Spot sauntered toward him with an easy stride. The battle might have taken a few minutes long, but it was clear from Spot's demeanor that he hardly sweated from that battle.

Lucas smiled and patted his head. "Good job, boy!"

"Should we check that beast out?"

The others looked at each other, still shocked at the event that just ensued.

Just like that?

In only a matter of minutes, the Gentle Dog has killed the Bronze Star beast that was lurking to ambush them?

Even though they did not know the exact level of that beast, they were aware that it was probably more formidable than the Vile Vulture from before.

Still, the Gentle Dog was able to slay that beast after a few minutes, indicating just how formidable it was.

'It might really be a Silver Star beast, right?'

This thought surfaced in their minds. Nodding their heads, they followed closely behind Lucas.

They did not think too much about it anymore.

Anyway, Lucas promised a feast, so they were curious what kind of beast they would be having for breakfast this time around.

Shelsea only heard about a Bronze Star beast living in this area but was also unaware of the specifics. She herself was also curious about what kind of beast it was.

Meanwhile, as they walked forward, Lucas summoned his grimoire and saw the lone bronze-colored star situated at the center of the cover.

The astonishing rate of improvement elated him to the core.

He then flipped to the first to see the details of the new log that had just appeared.

At the same time, he was also curious at what kind of skill he would get for advancing a major rank.
