Almighty Summoner System

"What's happening there?" Ban asked with a frown on his face underneath the Ant Mask.

He was confused at why their two Monsters were fighting against each other. And there was even a dome barrier around Delo and Belle. 

As far as he could see, there was no Beast around them. 

"Come here, Eva," He said as he beckoned for Eva to jump to his shoulder. 

Eva followed his request immediately without asking any questions. She just used this opportunity to rest on his shoulders, to recover at least a little bit of energy. 

Ban then looked over at the squirming snake and its movements finally started to slow down. He guessed that any minute from now, the snake would finally drop dead. He already imagined himself harvesting the Shiny Headed Rattlesnake's parts and selling them to Joana later. As it was an Elite Grade Beast, he should be able to earn more. 

He also hoped that there would be a Beast Core present inside it. 

Ban ignored the squirming snake for now  as he proceeded to walk towards Belle and Delo's location. He was curious about what was happening and he also wanted to ask them why they did not inform him about the snake. 

That was really a dangerous spot he and Eva were in earlier. 

Meanwhile, inside the Dome Barrier that Tori erected, Delo and Belle were tongue tied about the situation they just witnessed. 

They just witnessed first hand how Leon was able to defeat that Beast by using unusual means. 

Of the two of them, Belle was actually the most surprised as she did not expect that the Shiny Headed Snake could be defeated that way. 

It was also listed on their Book of Techniques and she knew that in order to defeat or kill it, one must need to have a weapon capable of penetrating its thick hide first. Aside from that, they would also need to have party of four E-Elite Rank Summoners and Monster to effectively counter its deadly hypnotic skil 

However, she just witnessed something incredible in front of her eyes. She already thought Leon will be killed or at least grievously wounded by that ambush from the snake. But not only Leon escaped it almost unscathed, he even managed to defeat it by only using sand. 

She was elated as she just learned a new thing again, and the most important part, Leon was still alive.

On the other hand, Delo was also shocked by the event that had just transpired. 

'What the hell is happening?' He thought in confusion. 

'Aren't Shiny Headed Rattlesnakes hard to defeat? How did he…?'

'Aren't Shiny Headed Rattlesnakes the equivalent of the Night Worms in the Lagom Forest? I thought even D-Master Rank Summoners or Adventurers were also afraid to face them? How can he…' 

A series of questions appeared inside his head making him even more confused.

"This is not happening… Don't tell me he's already above the D-Master Rank?I can't believe it..." Delo exclaimed in bewilderment. 

He clutched his hair as he could not accept the guess he just made. 

"I'm dead… I'm dead…" He kept repeating the same words over and over again seeing that Leon was already approaching. 

At this point, the Dome Barrier's duration had already ended. Tori was worried about his owner Delo so he went and nudged his feet lightly trying to gain his attention. 

However, Delo just ignored Tori as he continued to mumble some incomprehensible words. 

"No- no! I can still get out of this, he still did not know about what I did yet. But no- if Belle chimes in, he would surely believe her more than I do… hehe I'm finished, I'm finished..." 

Belle saw that her Red Falcon was no longer pinned down by Tori, she instantly went to the Red Falcon's side before and picked it up from the sand.

"Tanya, baby, are you okay?" She said while caressing the weak Red Falcon on her arms. 

Her Red Falcon's, Tanya's right wing has been broken. It could not be helped, she was only an X-Mortal Rank Monster while Tori has already been an E-Elite Rank Monster for more than a year now. 

Even if Tori only focuses on defense, an E-Elite Rank Monster's raw strength could still not be underestimated

Belle cried again seeing the sorry state of her Red Falcon. She glared at Delo and Tori hatefully while spouting some curses towards them, even cursing his first-generation ancestors in the process. 

As she was afraid that Delo and Tori would include her on their plot again, she decided to move away as far as possible, and by that, she ran towards Leon in fast strides with the Red Falcon in her arms. 

"Mr  Leon, are you okay?" Belle said in a soft and cracking voice. It was clear that she still hadn't calmed down as her voice still sounded nervous. 

She wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes before producing a sweet smile to greet Leon. 

"What happened?" Ban asked in confusion. However, because of the voice produced by the Ant Mask, he did not sound confused in Belle's ears but instead, calm. 

Ban could not comprehend what was happening. He saw a dead Beast not far away from them so he thought that they were only trying to protect themselves. 

He knew about Tori's Dome Barrier and he thought that it might be because of that that they weren't able to notify him during that time. It was also possible that they were fighting during that time hence the reason why they could not inform him. 

He already ruled out the possibility that they did it intentionally the moment he saw the dead Beast. 

However, he still wanted to confirm what was happening as he could tell that Belle was somewhat afraid of Delo now, while the latter also seems to have become crazy as he kept on mumbling something while grabbing his hair as he knelt on the hot sand. 

Hearing Leon's question, Belle could not help but tear up again. She did not expect her experience to be like this for her first time going out of the city for a Quest. 

"D- Delo… He-"

She started to cry and just as she was about to disclose everything to Leon, a fast-moving projectile suddenly appeared not far away from her back.
