My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Sometime later, the group finished eating their breakfast with the Crimson Monitor Lizard now in their respective stomachs.

Shelsea's group was elated as even though they had the capability to hunt Bronze Star beast, they actually only consumed one meal worth of meat and sold the rest to the market.

Every month, being able to hunt five Bronze Star beasts would already be considered as profit and such an amount would already be their limit.

With one meal for each successful hunt, this meant that they were only able to consume high-end meat five times in a single month.

However, ever since they accompanied Lucas, this had already been the second time they tasted wonderful meat from high ranking beasts without any cost.

For that, everyone was extremely grateful to Lucas.

High end meat were truly luxurious items for them.

Feeling guilty, Kane and Darren even helped Lucas clean the Crimson Monitor Lizard. Kane even offered to store all his items inside his Gobbling Toad, saying that he doesn't want Lucas to tire himself out by carrying such heavy loads.

Lucas declined his offer, though.

As they say, do not put your eggs all in one basket.

If he put all his belongings inside Kane's Gobbling Toad, if something happened to it, won't he suffer terrible loss?

That would be a bad idea.

The reason he was willing to let them eat the meat even knowing that they could fetch for a high price was because he still had the items in his bag to sell once they arrived at Serene City.

Adding the crimson scales he got earlier, his leather bag became even fuller and heavier.

With Lucas' recent strength enhancement, though, such an increase in weight and size was not a problem.

After packing, the group proceeded forward without any delay.

If they were fast with it, Shelsea estimated that they should be able to return near the city this evening.

The closer they were to the city, the safer it was, hence, she said that it would be safe even if they travel during the night.

Lucas just nodded his head and followed her arrangement.

With Lucas' strength, Shelsea became bolder with her approach.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After receiving the permission from Lucas, she decided to increase their traveling speed, reducing the amount of time they rested and decided not to avoid all the beasts they encountered.

Due to that, Spot ended up battling with four more beasts, one was a Bronze Grade-Bronze Star 1 while the rest were Iron Grades with ranks ranging from Iron Star 8 to Iron Star 9.

Lucas gained a total of 582.03 experience points, increasing his current total points to 838.94 from the previous 141.91.

He just ranked up to Bronze Star 1 earlier, and not even a day had passed and he was close to ranking up again.

The way of higher grade grimoire and cross ranking kills was indeed the fastest path to become stronger.

Unfortunately, beasts like that were rare, especially the more closer they got to Serene City.

After eating their lunch, Lucas and the others had not encountered any more beasts.

Dusk was fast approaching.

In a vantage point of view, Lucas followed Shelsea's fingers and soon saw infrastructures that could only be made by humans.

"Let's take a short rest and continue the rest of the journey. By this distance, we should be able to reach the gates of Serene City after four hours of continuous traveling."

She turned to Lucas and inquired, "What do you think?"

Lucas nodded his head, "Fine by me."

Ever since Lucas showcased his strength, Shelsea has been factoring his opinions everytime she made a decision.

Even though it was clear that Lucas was a few years younger than Shelsea, she still valued his opinion a great deal. After all, in terms of strength, all of them combined would not be able to defeat the domineering Gentle Dog.

Since it did not conflict with his interest, Lucas agreed to most of her arrangement as well, making both of them happy, and not offending any of them.

And in fact, he had even gotten closer to most of them.

Kane in particular showed a lot of interest, asking various questions about his way of training for him to become that strong.

Lucas honestly replied that he was doing the classic 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and 10 kilometer run daily combination before he was sent here by the dungeon.

Unfortunately, Kane and the others did not seem to believe it according to their reactions.

They did not press any further regarding that issue, thinking that it involved deeper secrets.

While they rested, Sylvia took her items and began cooking for the group.

With the four beasts that Lucas killed earlier, it could be said that they had an abundance of meat and food right now.

Today's menu was stew made from the tender meat of Flamecrest Boar.

Even before the meat was cooked, the aroma of the stew had already wafted in everyone's noses, making them salivate and anticipate the taste of the aromatic stew.

Lucas looked forward to it as well.

Spot, sitting on his lap was the same. His eyes were glued toward the huge pot, as if afraid that it would fly away and escape if he got distracted for a second.

More than thirty minutes later, the stew was finally cooked.

Taking bowls from Kane's Gobbling Toad, Sylvia began to serve everyone their fair share of the aromatic stew.

Of course, Spot has his own share. His bowl was even bigger compared to the rest of them.

Sylvia knew that it was due to this Gentle Dog that they were able to taste such wonderful meat. She thought that it was only natural that he would get a bigger share.

No one objected to it, either.

None of them had the courage to do so, and none of them had that kind of attitude either.

The surroundings were already dark, but the embers Sylvia used to cook the stew had still not been put off, providing illumination that barely allowed everyone to see near them.

Now that they were done having dinner, the group prepared to move out and continue the rest of the journey.

Just four hours more and they would finally be able to return to Serene City.

However, just as they were about to move out, a commotion at the distance suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

All of them turned their heads at once, their eyes showing complex emotions as they stared at the fire lamp that was gradually drawing near.
