Chapter 1767 - 1042: Grandpa Gael

At the brief moment when Leon touched the summoning symbol of the person known as "Slave Knight Gael," the figure appeared before him.

It was an elderly man with a bright red pointed hat hiding most of his face, only revealing a face full of dense white beard, wielding a round shield in one hand and carrying a roughly made great sword over his shoulder.

Honestly speaking, this man didn’t look fashionable or handsome at all, nor did he possess the memorable traits found in other residual shadow characters of the Sain Dungeon. He was like a slightly eccentric old man by the roadside, without anything particularly special.

When Leon first saw Gael, he thought that Curry, who always sold things at Lake Lienia, had come.

So who exactly is this Gael???

No matter, in any case, he’s combat power, I choose to summon, come forth Gael!

Without hesitation, he chose to summon, a fireball thrown by the bottom of the cave demon exploded loudly behind him. He rolled forward several times before barely stopping in the explosion of firelight, while the roar of the wounded demon closed in, attacking from his side!

"They’re truly two mad dogs!"

Leon tightly gripped the half-leaf greatsword and intended to hack towards the side, under these circumstances continuing to defend would only make things more passive. It was better to fight bravely, and maybe he could still have a chance to win.

He was prepared for the impact, the weight of the wounded demon wasn’t large, not even comparable to the giant dragon of a similar size, he shouldn’t be knocked flying when clashing directly.

The demon’s claws came, the half-leaf greatsword swung in a rotating stance, ready for the clash between the two divine weapons.

"Bang—"

A heavy sound accompanied by sparks appeared before Leon’s eyes. He inhaled sharply, his legs reacted instantly, retreating swiftly, turning to face the sneaky bottom of the cave demon that had arrived without notice, as if the wounded demon behind him posed no threat.

In fact, it’s not that the wounded demon posed no threat, but rather a capable assistant emerged to help him fight against the demon.

The slave knight named Gael appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the attack with the round shield on his arm.

"You’re quite capable, old man!"

Leon managed to greet him amidst the clash with the bottom of the cave demon. But thinking casually, he knew most of the assisting residual shadow characters wouldn’t respond, except for Solar who was an exception.

If only Solar were here to help, that would be great, I miss you, brother Suo.

"Hah!"

Gael let out a loud shout, using all the strength of his aged body to thrust forward, not only deflecting the wounded demon’s claws but also making it stumble backward a few steps, revealing his considerable prowess.

Could it be a powerful ally?

However, Leon quickly noticed the other was panting after completing this series of actions.

This is not a good sign, old man, don’t go weak after a few strikes!

"Hah!"

As soon as the worried thought surfaced in Leon’s mind, he saw Gael shout like a berserker, jumping fiercely and thrusting his [Gael’s Greatsword] into the shoulder of the wounded demon. His angry roar merged with the wounded demon’s bellow, the two entwined and rolled away into the distance.

I take back what I said earlier, this old man is a badass.

What he just used must be some sort of combat skill, that posture looked as if he wanted to go down fighting with the enemy, at least Leon wouldn’t dare to use such a move casually.

Looks like a Santa Claus, but turns out Gael is a berserker at heart.

"Now I can relax temporarily."

The recruited wild teammate turned out to be of quality, anyone would burst into laughter.

In Leon’s hands, the half-leaf greatsword swung with unmatched speed considering its weight, making a close match against the not specialized for melee bottom of the cave demon, with sparks flying and the combat situation fiercely intense.

The more he fought, the more he wanted to laugh.

Because after summoning Gael to assist, the bottom of the cave demon’s power didn’t increase, indicating Gael’s appearance didn’t bring boss monster enhancement, which is a good thing!

Generally, only before entering the boss monster’s fighting arena does added manpower cause an enhancement in the boss monster’s strength, while summoned helpers inside the combat arena don’t have this limitation.

It’s unfortunate that when adventurers draw runes for assistance, they can only do so outside the combat arena, only those residual shadow characters chosen by Sain Dungeon have the possibility to be summoned within the arena.

This makes it clear, he should first quickly deal with the bottom of the cave demon before joining Gael to take out the wounded demon!

He glanced back at the situation of the other battlefield.

He saw Gael being bumped into the sky by the wounded demon, only to fall heavily to the ground, looking like his old bones suffered quite a bit, his rising action seemed shaky.

"..."

Can he really hold out until I defeat the bottom of the cave demon?

Leon instantly questioned the thoughts he had held earlier.

The bottom of the cave demon suddenly jumped up, fiercely burning fireball appeared in its hands, then it slammed the fireball down like a dunk.

Leon performed a brilliant dodge using hound step, enduring the surrounding explosive flames, slashing at the side waist of the bottom of the cave demon. The blade flashed past the dry flesh, instantly cutting a gash, though not deep, but given the demon was already skin and bones, this strike made its bones visible.
