Almighty Summoner System

Belle heaves a sigh of relief after realizing that Leon actually cared for her. Her heart fluttered as she slowly forgot the fear she was feeling earlier. 

"Good luck, Mr. Leon!" Belle cheered before she distanced herself even further away, afraid that some stray attacks might hit her. 

Ban heard her but chose to not respond.

Seeing the blast that occurred earlier, he suddenly got an idea on what to do with the next one. 

However, it was not the time for that yet as Delo had already closed in on him.

Delo was an F-Apprentice Rank Summoner before he consumed the Mad Stone. 

However, Ban estimated that he might be as strong as an E-Elite Rank by now. And unlike before where he always retreats while letting only Tori confront him, Delo actually charged in himself this time. 

His movements were erratic as he charged at Ban like a wild Beast. 

This was actually Ban's first time fighting a fellow Summoner as he mostly fought Beasts and normal animals while training with his gramps before. 

However, with the way that Delo Was charging in, Ban thought that he was no different from Beast or those animals he fought before. 

Delo arrived in front of Ban and immediately attacked him with a swipe of his arm. Ban just realized that his fingernails had actually grown longer. 

He was surprised a bit but fortunately, he was able to react in time and was able to dodge it, with the fingernails barely missing his chest.

Well, not that he would get wounded with it anyway as he got the Noble Moth Cloak protecting his chest. 

It was just an instinctual dodge, but if Ban could decide again, he would still choose the same action. After all, he does not want to overly rely on the protection provided by the Ant Mask and the Noble Moth Cloak, and if he could dodge it, then he would dodge it.

Delo followed it with another swipe, not letting Ban take a breather.  He attacked him relentlessly and Ban could only retreat as he dodge them all. 

However, Ban realized that he should not do it this way. After all, he only got less than two minutes left for the duration of the Wrath State. 

The Wrath State allowed him to have the same strength of an E-Elite, in other sense, it was the same as that of the Mad Stone but unlike the Mad Stone, he does not lose reason when he was on the Wrath State. 

He just felt hot all over his body, almost like he took drugs that boosted his energy level before the fight.

As he was afraid of the time running out, Ban decided to block Delo's attack instead of dodging it. 

He did not waste any more time as he wrapped his arm with the cloak before lifting it up to block the incoming attack. 

The sound of metal colliding metal echoed as Delo's fingernail struck the Noble Moth Cloak. 

Delo paused for a second due to that sudden block. 

Ban's eyes glowed seeing that momentary pause. He did not waste that opportunity as he immediately kicked Delo's balls without pity. 

Delo's body flew a meter but just like what Ban had anticipated, it was not enough to finish him.

And so, he immediately dashed towards Delo again. He separated the Twin Baton and held each one with his two hands. 

Boom! Boom!...

With his expertise in the weapon, Ban managed to hit Delo multiple times without it being able to react. 

He maneuvered around Delo's darkened body while attacking every vital part. 

Delo's knee buckled after Ban struck it while rolling in the sands. He kept on changing position while attacking so the Darkened Delo could only receive his attacks without complaint. 

Just as Ban was about to finish the combination of attacks, he was suddenly interrupted by Dark Tori. 

Dark Glass Whip!

A black and glass-like whip smashed towards Ban who was attacking Delo with a barrage of strike from the Twin Baton.

The whip was as thick as Belle's arm and it has great length compared to his Twin Baton whip version being merged together. 

Boom!

Ban immediately jumped backwards to avoid that attack. Unlike the attack from Delo, he does not dare to block Dark Tori's attack. After all, his strength could now be compared to a Quasi D-Master Rank after being affected by the Mad Stone. 

Suddenly, Dark Tori paused again and another Dark Barrier Blast was now created above his mouth, ready to fire at any given time. 

Seeing that, Ban immediately prepared himself again as he positioned his body sideways while waiting for Dark Tori to release the ball. 

Swoosh!

Seeing that his target was stationary, Dark Tori immediately shot the Dark Barrier Blast straight to him. 

Ban smiled upon seeing that, as he firmly gripped the Twin Baton with his two hands. 

The moment the Dark Barrier Blast arrived a meter away from him, Ban immediately swung the Twin Baton. Just like earlier, he was able to successfully deflect the Dark Barrier Blast away from him using the Twin Baton made from the Rubber Snake.

However, unlike before where Ban only deflected the Dark Barrier Blast without care, he actually adjusted the angle of his swing to let the trajectory of his strike aiming towards Delo.

With his familiarity with the Baton, it was no problem for Ban hitting it at any angle he wanted.

Boom!

Just as expected, the Dark Barrier Blast was blasted away by Ban towards Delo. 

Ban smiled at his successful plan, but a moment later, his smile immediately subsided.

Delo was actually only wounded a little. Not because of his sturdy body but because of the fact that Dark Tori saved him again with his Dome Barrier Skill.

However, unlike before, the barrier was no longer transparent and it now instead has a black and sinister color. 

It was another improved version of Tori's skill. The part of the Dome Barrier where the Dark Barrier Blast landed now has a huge gaping hole on it. 

The Dark Barrier Blast's power was really strong as aside from breaking the Dome Barrier, it also managed to wound Delo's arms, although just a little.

  Ban frowned at that as he could not help but be mad at the situation. 

"Sigh! Even though you're already in that tortured state, you're still thinking of protecting your owner, huh!" Ban said as he looked at the pitiful Barrier Turtle who's tears was still falling even though they were in the middle of a fight.
