Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

-----

The Elders looked at Xijun with utter surprise. Their faces were dumbfounded, showing expressions of surprise and awe. She was not showing any power and they felt betrayed. Deep down some of them simply began to think differently. I could hear the whispers of their minds, a bit, as I had the power of Telepathy and other mind-related powers that the Ability Spheres of the Slarkobs gave to me.

But even then, this world's power suppressed part of it, so I could only partially hear their thoughts, hence they felt like little whispers I could sometimes catch, and sometimes I could not. However, I was more than capable of discerning the emotions in their faces and also in their minds. The power of Slarkobs over the mind was amazing, and as I had inherited it, I was able to see through the emotions of their minds and see different colors behind their heads.

The Elders seemed to begin to think she had tricked them. That she wasn't actually strong but had sued a technique that was some kind of illusory domain that actually had no power on it other than showing an illusion, and Xijun's unwillingness to show more of her power and prove to them she's strong reinforced this theory in their minds.

They began to believe she might not really be that strong and that she tricked them! Yes, she was perhaps as strong as a 100-value energy user, and perhaps she knocked two guards with ease, but so what? Even their juniors seem to be able to do this, so it wasn't so big of a deal.

In this way, they thought she was indeed talented and deserving of joining them, but that she wasn't as incredible as she made herself up to be.

"She's lying! She lied to us! She used some kind of illusory power… I know! She's not as strong as she made up herself to be!"

Suddenly, one of the new recruits of the sects, a blonde man with aquamarine eyes and a cheeky smile, who exuded an aura of light, looked at Xijun with a cocky smile.

The Elders looked at the boy as some of the other disciples began to talk as well. They seemed to be envious of her and wanted to push her down as much as they could while they could, wanting to grasp this opportunity to make her seem worse than she actually was.

Bastards.

"She's indeed not as incredible as I had thought…"

"Well, last week two 100's were also recruited, not so incredible."

"Indeed, but she might have some kind of power over illusions…"

"Perhaps she's a witch of some sort?

"She's not showing her true power, maybe she doesn't have such power then!"

"What a disappointment…"

The people immediately began to judge her harshly. I wanted to beat them all to a pulp.

"You-"

"Stop… Gustav, I don't care." Said Xijun, shrugging it off.

"Huh? Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, I am weak after all." She said while nodding.

"Indeed, I am weak, so that's why I want to join a sect and grow stronger." Said Xijun.

Everyone fell silent.

She actually accepted it!

"Huh? Y-You accept it?" asked the blonde guy.

"Yes? Why wouldn't I be self aware of my own weakness?" asked Xijun.

"…"

The elders looked at her with strange expressions.

"Well… We'll see how strong you truly are…"

"Now, free the strongest divine beast we have."

"Let's see how strong she is."

"Indeed!"

"Summon it!"

FLASH!

Xijun who was in the battlefield of the arena stood up there, looking at a formation suddenly materialize a large figure, a gigantic beast…

It had the shape of a T-Rex, but it was of a smaller size, of around 5 meters, and it had a less rough skin, but hard scales nonetheless.

It had spikes around its body, metallic spikes. And it also had a sharp jaw.

"T-That's… a Tyrant Wyrm?!"

"You're using such a strong beast against her, Elders?"

"S-She's gonna die!"

"She's weak, she admitted it! Don't kill her now…"

"I wouldn't want to see such a disgusting scene."

The people of this world were a bit considerate I guess, but in the wrong way, they saw that seeing her being killed would be disgusting, but not actually wrong? Wait, do people get killed in these tests? Is that fine by them?

This society is really fucked up when you compare it to Earth… Suddenly, modern Earth before the apocalypse looks like heaven…

"That is a Tyrant Wyrm… a powerful God-Realm Divine Beast!"

"I am impressed to be able to see one myself…"

"They're so strong…"

"It's very presence creates an aura of pressure, it feels as if they air had gotten very thin out of nowhere, and the gravity has gotten heavier…

"This is one of my tamed beasts. If you can defeat it or at least last a minute, you'll pass this test." Said one of the elders. Their personalities had suddenly turned from passive and gentle to frustrated and angered at Xijun, they felt like they wanted to kill her now.

"Really now?" I sighed.

We had battled even stronger things that these, this one seems like a baby of the T-Rexes we killed. Perhaps the pups we usually spared and didn't killed because we pitied them…

"Sure." Said Xijun, she even smiled faintly.

Everyone looked at her with disbelief.

The giant T-Rex looked down at her, as it suddenly felt a slight presence.

An aura of oceans emerged from her faintly, as water was summoned around Xijun in small quantities.

"Consecutive Water Bullet."

The small mass of water suddenly began to separate itself, firing small, fist-sized bullets of water at high speeds, bathing the entire T-Rex with them!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GROAR!"

The T-Rex wasn't killed instantly though, its scales somehow were blocking the hits barely, although some began to be blown away. I see, Xijun also pitied the beast, after all it looked to be a pup, she didn't wanted to kill it.
