Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

2 weeks later in the Nightmare Beast Island…

The sounds of rustling leaves reverberated in the forest inside the island as a group of 3 powerful Golems pursued a cute yellow Fox, a menacing young Nightmare Beast, and a lazy-looking human warrior.

About 15 to 20 minutes ago, the trio were roaming through the forest looking for prey like usual when they came before this unusual cluster of stones.

Like usual, Lucky was content with lazing around all day and staying in the back where she could sate her curiosity with all that went on at the front.

Legolas was busy analyzing what was up with the stones while like usual, Predator went forward like a brute to probe the unusual looking stones.

“Wait…”

Legolas barely spoke before the rocks sprang up and grabbed the unsuspecting Nightmare Beast. 2 weeks ago, Predator would have surely fell victim and be strangled but now, Predator was able to react.

In the past 2 weeks, Predator experienced the quickest growth.

Not only by fighting, killing, and devouring other beast’s beast cores but Legolas also helped it eat a special Nightmare fruit that increased all its stats.

Instantly after the rocks moved, Predator moved also as it activated both its Scale Defense and Claw Barrage skills.

The attack enabled Predator to shatter some of the stones, but it also angered the Golem monsters as all 3 angered Golems fully awakened.

After they fully awakened, Legolas could finally see their status.

All 3 Golems had almost the same stats.

Once Legolas saw the health points of these golems, his will to fight them deflated as he instantly ordered Predator to run and not fight.

Predator felt extremely unwilling but since it was an order from its master, it had no choice but to run too as Lucky was already miles ahead escaping.

This was how the present scene came about as Legolas escaped with his contracted beast and his pet. He was not just escaping, due to how valuable the beast core of Golems was, Legolas had no intentions to miss this rare opportunity.

As he ran, he observed the forest to find the best windows of opportunity to engage his attack. Just 5 minutes later, one opened up.

On top of a tree, Legolas sighted a mature Nightmare Beast lurking. Nightmare Beasts were the apex predators of the island, and seeing this one, Legolas knew that this was the window of opportunity that he sought.

Roar!

The mature Nightmare Beast was thoroughly angered by the effrontery displayed by this human to even contemplate trying to tame it.

Its hotblooded personality came into play as it jumped down from the tree. As soon as it jumped, Legolas stopped and turned, running straight into the 3 Golems.

Predator instinctively followed its master and a 3-peat battle started. A clash between the camp of the Golems, Legolas’s camp, and the adult Nightmare Beast started as Lucky smoothly retreated into the background.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

After just a few exchanges, the adult Nightmare Beast established himself as the strongest monster around as it beat all 3 Golems at the same time.

The Golem’s headbutt, rock throw, and stone manipulation skills were all deadly but they stood no chance before the sword-like teeth and saber-like claws of this adult Nightmare Beast.

Predator was in the heat of all this action, being tossed around like a dog while Legolas hid behind the 3 Golems whose aggression was now on the adult Nightmare Beast. The battle continued like this for 3 minutes.

In the 4th minute, the first Golem died as it was shattered to pieces. Before the Nightmare Beast could attack again, sword light shone.

With the human stealing its kill, the adult Nightmare Beast was even more angered as all its attention was now focused on Legolas.

Legolas grinned because this was what he wanted, the adult Nightmare Beast was now distracted and he already gave orders telepathically to Predator who executed them without hesitation.

Predator activated both Claw Barrage and Lethal Bite as he pounced on the bigger Nightmare Beast. Originally, this was nowhere enough to kill this monster but having struck a deal with Legolas, Lucky intervened.

Once the embracing glow of the luck glow came, Predator’s normal attacks became lethal. Consecutive critical hits destroyed the Nightmare Beast completely.

The beast died while still not understanding how it died.

“Good job, Predator”.

“You too, Lucky”. Legolas added before Lucky could protest.

The adult Nightmare Beast was all Predator’s as he enthusiastically started feasting on it, devouring its beast core in the process.

Legolas picked up the 3 rock-like beast cores of the Rock Golem, he kept 2 in his hunting bag before throwing one towards Lucky which the cute Fox swallowed.

Seeing no reaction as the Fox jumped to swallow the beast core, Legolas clicked his tongue. “You’re a disciplined fella, I see”.

“Didn’t even flinch when seeing such a valuable beast core up for grabs”.

Legolas got no reply as he spoke but he only smiled. He suddenly looked up as his eyes which were too deep to be those of a 15-year-old glared into the eyes of the Pugilist Criminal who perched hidden on top of a tree.

Once their eyes met, the criminal reacted instantly to escape but in the short time of their eyes meeting, Predator already ran ahead to block his path.

The criminal turned back only to meet Legolas before him, he was cornered, he had nowhere to run as he swallowed his saliva nervously before speaking.

“Y-you can’t live forever; you’ve already angered the Gang Leader”.

“Our brothers that you killed; you’ll pay for their lives a thousandfold”.

“The Gang Leader told me to tell you this”.

“Yeah, I get you”. Legolas casually waved the criminal’s words off. “Listen to me, go meet your boss and tell him that I want a peace meeting in 30 minutes”.

“Tell him that it is about how to escape this island”.

“Also, point of correction, I didn’t kill your brothers, they are all just my temporary captives till I and your Gang Leader come to a consensus, understood?”

“…”

“Understood?”

“Y-yes, Lord Young Nightmare”.

Legolas smiled. “I’m flattered”.
