Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

After a good night’s rest, Legolas woke up very early in the morning.

Today was the last day to rescue Leo that he gave to Christensen and he was finally ready to go rescue the Frost Wolf.

Legolas woke up around 4 in the morning when it was already dark.

He went to check on Lucky with no hopes and like expected, the freaking Star Fox was still having a nap and the strange thing was that Lucky never shrank in size despite not eating for the past few days.

“Sigh, whatever day you decide to wake up, I hope it was worth the wait”.

Again, Legolas had no choice but to carry Lucky in the airbag. After that, he sneaked out of the inn before mounting Predator who was already awake.

Together, they sneaked out of the shelter without alerting a single soul.

…

10 minutes later, Legolas and Predator arrived back at the Blue Forest.

Legolas gave Predator some basic strict instructions before he allowed him to go deep inside the forest. Predator grumbled but he obeyed.

Just 5 minutes in, they encountered their first enemy, a Barbarian Baboon. This huge monkey that was bigger than its counterparts shouted incoherent words before attacking the Nightmare Beast once they met.

Predator could not avoid the battle so he had no choice but to fight. Just a few seconds in though, the superior between both beasts became evident.

Despite being a Grade E beast also, the Baboon stood no chance as an angry Predator completely thrashed it before tearing it to pieces.

After feasting on its flesh and beast core, the journey continued. 30 minutes later, they finally arrived back at the den of thorns where Leo hid.

It took them an additional 30 minutes to navigate from the den of thorns to the cave where Leo hid. Once they got there though, Legolas frowned as his sharp perception allowed him to detect traces that were not there before.

He walked closer to the entrance of the cave where he saw the pawprints of another beast. “A Lizard?”

“Predator, be on the lookout for any intruder”. Legolas instructed Predator fast before kneeling down close to the pawprints to try deducing the variant of lizard that intruded here.

Preparing ahead was one of the greatest trademarks of great Summoners. If Legolas could know the variant of intruder that he was about to face, he would be better prepared to deal with it when the battle finally started.

Even with his knowledge as a game developer, zoologist, and summoner, it took him more than a minute to know its variant. “A Draconic Blue-scale Lizard!”

Legolas directed a worried look inside the cave but he soon heaved a sigh of relief, he could still feel Leo’s cold aura emanating from the cave.

…

A few minutes later, a huge Draconic Blue-scale Lizard walked towards the cave entrance as it made strange taunting and growling sounds.

It was a Lizard but this beast was not just as huge as Predator, but it also had such thick scales that made it look like a Rhinoceros with impenetrable defense.

In their hideout behind a thick cluster of grass, Predator’s blood already started boiling hot as its tongue wagged and salivated excitedly but Legolas patted its head. “Easy boy…, easy”.

“Growl!” The Draconic Lizard growled again and scraped the cave entrance with its sharp claws, this was when a reaction finally came from Leo.

“Awoo!” The Wolf’s cry of defiance reverberated loudly.

“Growl!”

The Draconic Lizard growled again before charging in.

A few seconds later, a loud crashing sound reverberated followed by dozens of impact sounds as it seemed like 2 Behemoths were engrossed in a battle.

This was when Legolas finally came out of his hideout with Predator and his basic alloy sword in his hand. Silently, they made their entrance into the cave.

The walls of the cave were surrounded with blue crystals which Legolas soon identified as mana crystals; he was astonished.

“No wonder Leo came inside here to hide; mana crystals are great resources to recover mana and to also recover from physical injuries”.

“Damn, I never expected another benefit in this form”.

As the sounds of impact from the battle continued, Legolas urged Predator to move in faster. A few seconds later, the space in the cave opened up and this was where the 2 massive beasts were embroiled in battle.

A wave of cold hit him as Legolas was exposed to this open space.

A part of the space inside the cave was filled with ice as the massive Wolf roared while battling and releasing more frost. As for the Draconic Blue-scale Lizard, this powerhouse was a fire-breathing monster.

Leo was not in as bad a state as Legolas expected. The mana crystals helped it a lot, its only problem was still the corruption that it suffered.

The Draconic Blue-scale Lizard was a powerful opponent, Leo was already losing and even with Predator, Legolas was not sure of winning.

Predator may be a Nightmare Beast with infinite potential but it was still young. This scenario was like placing a young Lion with infinite talent against a mature male Alpha Lion, the outcome of a battle was clear as noonday.

To win, the only thing that Legolas could think of was curing Leo. Leo was not just a Frost Wolf; he was a Golden bloodline Frost Wolf worthy of royalty.

Leo was the cream of the crop of Frost Wolves, if its corrupted status was undone, with Predator, they could tear this Lizard who was probably old enough to be their grandfather to bits and pieces.

This was where Legolas’s huge knowledge came into play again.

Corrupted beasts were products of a lot of reasons. But in Leo’s case, Legolas already guessed that it was from taking a pill.𝒪𝐕𝐥𝐞xt.𝗰𝑶𝐌

Apart from fighting, killing, and evolving the normal way, most spoilt brats like Christensen wanted their contracted beasts to grow faster and the only option that they could resort to was through pills.

For a pill as complicated as this to work, it needed to thoroughly agree with the beast’s DNA. Once there is an incompatibility, corruption is a great possibility.

How to undo corruption was a myth in the current Planet Darvis but who was Legolas? He was a reincarnator who came with future knowledge.

“Predator, join the fight!”

“Roar!” The already impatient Predator jumped in enthusiastically.

With another beast suddenly joining, the Draconic Lizard’s momentum was stalled and this was what enabled Legolas to start concocting another pill.

He already had the intention of curing Leo which made him prepare the materials ahead of time, so he simply brought his schedule forward.

Legolas lit up a fire and started working. 10 minutes later, a brand-new potion was available as Legolas poured it all into a needle injection.

He turned to the ongoing battle, grabbed his sword, and jumped into the fray. The intensity rattled Legolas instantly but Predator was on his side.

“Roar!”

It seemed like he was about to go attack the Lizard also, but at the last moment, he rapidly changed direction and dashed towards Leo.

He succeeded in injecting it but Leo reacted instinctively as it used its huge paws to smack the human away like a bug. Legolas coughed blood as he felt a few of his bones breaking, he groaned in pain even as Predator roared angrily.

Leo was about to follow up the attack to kill him but it soon paused as changes went on inside its body which lasted only a few seconds.

Leo’s eyes that glowed a menacing red finally turned blue again.

Its tongue wagged the next moment as it looked at Legolas, its savior with pure joy radiating from its eyes.

Legolas coughed and grabbed his abdomen. “Rejoice later dude, finish off that Lizard bastard first”.

Well, an unshackled Leo was simply a beast!

“Awoo!” “Roar!”

This time, when the Frost Wolf and the Nightmare Beast went in, they went in with the intent to cooperate and the Draconic Lizard no longer stood a chance.

Its thick scales were breached in just 2 minutes and that spelled its end. The Draconic Lizard tried to escape but it was already too late, it breathed its last after Leo froze its hind legs and Predator dealt the finishing blow with a Dark Arrow.

Predator climbed on top of the dead Lizard, raised its head proudly, and roared.

“Yeah, bask in the attention but remember to share the food, you didn’t kill it alone remember?” Legolas reminded as he attended to his injuries.

Surprisingly, Leo simply ignored the food and walked closer to Legolas before licking his face affectionately with its tongue.

Predator was unconcerned as it enjoyed the feast.
