Chapter 570 The Secret To Summoning More
A hundred Shadow Guards were now arranged in front of me, all of them prepared and ready to face against a thousand Shadow Devourers.
Alright! This is going to be an epic fight! I better fly up to get a good view of this since this would be the very first time I get to watch a large group of my Shadow Guards fighting against a larger group of enemies!
Now go my Shadow Guards! Let me see the epic battle of the day!!
A hundred balls of light appeared in the air which resulted in a hundred [Laser] spells being fired off simultaneously, the beams of light piercing through the horde of Shadow Devourers with absolute precision..
It was even positioned in such a way that each beam of light will pierce through more than one Shadow Devourer, effectively killing several of them with just a single beam.
A few seconds passed and the thousand strong Shadow Devourer army disintegrated.
…
…
Correct me if I’m wrong but…. Did they just wipe out ten times their number in just a few seconds?
And they all did it without moving from their spot?
But… But… What about the epic clash between two armies? You know, the scene where two groups would run towards each other and the clash in the middle instead of using long range attacks for the most dramatic effect?
Everyone was just alternating between staring at the space where the Shadow Devourers had been and my Shadow Guards.
All of my Shadow Guards turned back to me and bowed in unison, “It is done, Master.”
…
Ok, that was pretty cool.
I didn’t think they would actually just kill all of them with a single attack but I guess that really goes to show that they’re just better than those lousy Shadow Devourers.
Fuckface blinked a few times, as though thinking that it was all just an illusion before slowly turning to me.
“What… What was that?” He mumbled.
I tilted my head at him, “I defeated a thousand enemies. What else? So are you going to let me do whatever I want with you now?”
He shifted his gaze to my small army of Shadow Guards but I decided to call them back into my shadow so all of them disappeared save for Eins.
Fuckface continued to look confused for a while more before suddenly letting out a laugh, “Hahahaha! I understand now! Those were illusions weren’t they?! Hahaha! You thought you could fool me?! I will have you know–“
I went up and punched him in the face, the satisfying crack of his head caving in reverberated around the hall before he was launched towards the wall.
Of course, that wasn’t his real body so it dissipated after a while.
The wall at the end of the hall then slid up, revealing a flight of stairs that led downwards.
“Let’s go before he tries to do anything else,” I suggested, bringing the other two Rejmars out of their stupors.
They started to run beside me to keep up with Olgar being the first to question me.
“What… What was that just now, Aster?! Did you just summon an entire army out of nowhere?!”
“Ahahaha~ That was just a trick, a one time thing really. I’m glad it worked though!” I lied.
Gwen did a nice follow up for me, “It’s one of her skills, please keep quiet about it.”
The two of them probably decided that it didn’t matter as long as we managed to escape and asked no other questions.
We started to descend down the stairs and I knew immediately this was one of the stairs that would lead to a different floor in the Dungeon.
When we reached the bottom, I found that it was a safe zone which meant that the next room was a Dungeon boss room.
The weird thing was that there was a wooden barricade in front of the boss room’s entrance, which kind of told me that Fuckface might actually be hiding inside this room.
I immediately turned to my Rejmar companions, “Go, get out of here. Before he does something to stop us from leaving again.”
Thorn frowned at me, “Why are you speaking as though you’re staying behind?”
“Because I am. I’m not leaving until I deal with that guy.”
“What?! Why?! This isn’t even your fight?”
“I suppose he just pissed me off a little and I don’t like leaving things unfinished,” I half lied.
That was one part of the truth. The other part was that I want to see if I could get a Dungeon clear reward especially if this was the final floor of the Dungeon.
Hey, since I’m already here, might as well right?
Olgar took a step towards me, “In that case, this is also my fight too! My party is still missing and that bastard no doubt still has them locked up somewhere! I’m going to save them!”
I made a face at him, “No offence guys… But I’m going to say that you’ll be more helpful to us if you were to go out of the Dungeon and tell someone what is going on here.”
Olgar looked like he wanted to argue but Gwen stepped in, “I’m afraid I will have to agree with Aster on this. You saw how strong Aster is, we’ll be fine on our own. It’s better that we have someone outside letting others know what is happening here.”
I also chimed in, “My party should be outside as well, they will be able to help you if you were to explain what is going on. Look for a Wrunch butler named Sebastian, he will be able to help.”
“Why can’t we all just escape together and come hunt that bastard once we gather a sizable force?” Thorn asked.
I gave him a pointed look, “And allow this guy to escape while we’re outside? Right now we have him trapped and I definitely don’t want to give him the opportunity to escape. I’ll finish him off right now.”
That was also only half true.
Fuckface now knows that I could potentially summon an army on my own and I would very much like to deal with him before he can spread this knowledge around. I’d rather Thorn and Olgar not be here so that I could make full use of my abilities and deal with less questions later.
I’d hate it if I had to silence them later on…
The two Rejmars seemed unconvinced but they didn’t have anything to protest against me so they grudgingly accepted my suggestion.
Both of them climbed up the stairs that would bring them out of the Dungeon, leaving Gwen, Eins and myself behind to face the boss room.
I turned to Gwen, “I know I said that, but I would also prefer it if you didn’t put yourself in danger either.”
Gwen bowed, “Young Mistress. I am a maid of the Nilm Family, turning my back on you when I should be protecting you with my life is something that is simply unacceptable.”
I already expected her to say something like that so I just accepted her help for the upcoming fight.
Both of us turned to the wooden barricade and I blasted it apart with a quick cast of [Fire Blast].
Behind the wall was a very irate and furious Rejmar with a bald head glaring straight at us.

The fact that I could see his stats meant that this must be the real guy and not a summon or a substitute.
He immediately pointed a finger at me, “You!! You bitch!! You ruined everything!! How… How are you able to summon so many Shadow Summons?!! This should not have been possible!! I studied and researched for years! Decades! Before I found a way to circumvent the limitations!! Something no one else has ever done!! Yet you just come along and screw everything up for me!!”
I tilted my head at him, “Oh, hello to you too. Is this like your final bastion or something? I was expecting you to have like a few thousand more Shadow Devourers here waiting to attack me.”
“You ruined everything!! How can the Gods allow this?! How did you even manage to create the perfect Shadow Summon?!!”
I shrugged, “I dunno… Maybe I’m just better than you?”
“Arrrghhh!!” He let out a frustrated roar and three Shadow Devourers dropped down from the ceiling above him to lunge towards me.
I didn’t even need to say anything for Eins, Zwei and Drei to appear in front of me and instantly decapitate those three monsters.
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!! This cannot be happening!! This is unfair! How?! How?!!”
I smiled, “Do you really want to know?”
He paused and stared at me.
My smile got a bit wider, “Do you really want to know the secret to how I did this?”
He suddenly stopped and stared at me, “H… How? How did you do this?”
I pointed a finger at myself, “Because I did a hundred push ups, a hundred sit ups, a hundred squats and a ten kilometre run everyday while I was young.”
Hey, it was taking every bit of self control I needed to not burst out laughing after I said that.
While he was just staring at me with a dumbfounded expression on his face, Eins moved forward and struck him across the back of his head, knocking him out.
Only reason I didn’t kill him was because I don’t know if the Rejmars would prefer to have this guy captured alive for his crimes or not. Well, not my problem now.
I was just about to turn back to exit the boss room when a loud roar came from inside.
Oh what now?!
