My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Seeing Spot leap toward the abomination without fear, Lucas could not help but worry.

No matter how Spot showed his talents and strengths during the past few days, he just could not see how he would be able to defeat the mixture of a beast that has targeted them.

From the initial clash earlier, and by how it sent Spot flying and how easily it neutralized his Soft Bark skill, Lucas determined that the beast was around peak Bronze Star in strength and a possibility of it being a Silver Star. It's grade did not seem to be low either. It must be at Silver Grade at the very least.

Although he would have expected his assumption to be wrong again, Lucas felt as he realized that he was right this time around.

As Spot leapt forward and met the talons of the amalgamation of beasts in mid-air.

Sparks flew in the air as Spot's body was sent flying backwards once more. His huge figure smashed into a tree, breaking its trunk and making it fall.

Spot stood up once more. He shook his body, and the force of impact seemed to have little to no effect on him.

From the looks of it, his furs had lessened the impact he just received.

Spot used Soft Bark once more while leaping forward.

Rage was apparent in his eyes. There was no fear toward the strong, just endless fighting spirit and rage that could shake a person's soul.

Unfortunately, the thing he was fighting was no person at all.

The Soft Bark was ineffective and had served little to no purpose.

Spot did not give up easily, as he pounced forward with great ferocity.

The amalgamation of a beast lets out a bellow of its own.

All this time, it has not moved a single inch from its position, signifying how strong it was.

As Spot leapt and landed in front of it, he suddenly used Gentle Gaze, planning to memorize the beast and attack after creating an opening.

However, as ineffective as the Soft Bark was, the Gentle Gaze could hardly do anything to the beast as well.

Instead of being mesmerized, it has only made its goat eyes tremble a little.

This little bit of trembling ignited both Lucas and Spot's hope. Spot did not waste the opportunity and immediately slashed toward it with his Sharp Claws.

The amalgamation of beasts, however, reacted swiftly and blocked his attack at the last second.

Enraged, the beast let out an ear-piercing bellow.

Spot, that was right in front of it, took the full brunt of the roar. From Spot's expression, Lucas guessed that the roar was also actually a skill, just like Soft Bark.

Spot staggered backwards for a little bit before he pounced forward relentlessly. However, his claws were once blocked narrowly; he turned to his primitive form of battle.

Bite!

Spot opened his mouth wide enough to fit the head of the goat headed by the beast. However, obviously much faster, the goat beast was able to evade it one more time. Using its horn, it headbutted Spot, making him fall and stagger a few meters back once more.

Seeing Spot being so helpless in front of the goat-headed beast, Lucas could not help but feel dread all over his mind.

Since his battle with Asher's beasts, this was the first time that Spot had struggled with his opponent. This time, the struggle was even more apparent as Spot was like a child in front of the beast.

The gap in strength was just simply too wide that it felt like it was just playing around with Spot.

Lucas could also see that the beast was just playing around. Ever since it arrived, it had only attacked proactively once. After that one proactive attack, the beast had only been defending itself from Spot's attacks and counterattacking casually in the most opportune time.

Aside from being strong and of a higher rank, the beast seemed to be well-experienced in battle too.

Lucas gritted his teeth upon seeing the situation of Spot.

'Think! I need to think of a solution!'

Escape had crossed his mind since earlier. However, the speed that the beast had showcased made it impossible for him to run and escape.

The beast's speed was so dreadful that it would be able to deflect or block Spot's attack even at an extremely close distance.

Helpless!

Both he and Spot were helpless against the current foe.

Lucas tried using Gentle Gaze on the beast, but it did not even cause the goat's eyelash to tremble. In fact, the goat-headed amalgamation did not even turn to look at him. As if the skill he had just thrown was nothing but a drop of water in a great ocean.

The only solace he had at this moment was the fact that the beast doesn't seem to have the intention of killing them.

Its goat head revealed a cruel and playful smile.

Its head was still facing the relentlessly attacking Spot, but its eyes had already turned toward Lucas, who was standing in the distance.

Lucas felt terror grip the bottom of his heart upon seeing the beast's action.

Before he could make a single sound, the beast suddenly dissapeared from his eyes.

At the next moment, it had already appeared before him, and its horse-like hooves were raised as it kicked him squarely in the chest.

Although a little late to react, Lucas tried to evade the strike.

However, even before his mind could process what was going on, the kick had already landed on his chest.

An immense force assaulted his chest. Before his figure could shoot out like a released arrow, Lucas had already coughed a mouthful of blood as he felt the dreaded force invade his body.

His mind jolted in pain, and the next thing he noticed, his back had already smashed to a tree nearby. His figure fell to the ground with a thud. His mind was blank, and he seemed to be out of it.

Spot's enraged roar resounded in the surroundings.

Even though it was not laid with Soft Bark skill, the roar still shook the surroundings a great deal.

Pouring all his emotions into that roar, even the goat-headed beast turned to look at Spot curiously.

With a step, the goat-headed beast was already before Spot.

Enraged by the fact that its master was injured, Spot returned to his old ways as he trashed around with all his might.

His paws kept on swinging toward the beast, his eyes kept on using Gentle Gaze, and his fangs tried to sink themselves in the body of the beast multiple times but to no avail. His growl was always laced with Soft Bark.

The flurry of attacks was desperate and full of rage.

However, all of them were infectious towards the goat-headed beast. And from the looks of it, it was slowly getting bored from the plaything in front of him.

The goat-headed beast finally released a goat-like sound.

The goat sound it released was not as imposing and loud as the previous roar it let out. However, although not loud, Spot still trashed around in pain as the high-pitched 'meee' sound entered his ears without warning.

Spot howled in pain as he tried to cover his ears with his massive paws. The sound would not be isolated by such an action, though.

The goat was even amused by his actions.

Using its talon-like hands, the goat beast suddenly lifted Spot's head.

With injuries now all over his body, Spot no longer looked as imposing and grand compared to when Lucas first saw him.

The goat beast might not have proactively attacked him, but its presence and counterattacks were so lethal that each has injured Spot.

From all of his wounds, the headbutt seemed to be the one who had done the most damage. At this moment, Spot's forehead has become a little caved.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Lucas woke up from his daze upon hearing Spot's agonizing wails.

It pained him too much hearing his beast suffer such torture.

Yes, the goat beast was indeed trying to torture Spot. giving him wounds from time to time, one slash at a time, as Spot kept on pouncing toward the beast to attack with all his might.

Hatred flashed across Lucas' eyes.

His mind ignored the pain all over his body as he tried to come up with a solution to the current predicament.

If normal ways were not enough, then he should turn to something not normal.

His eyes were still staring at the desperate battle, but his attention was now grabbed by the wheel that had appeared in front of him.

The System was the one who had made Spot into the glorious beast that he was today.

Hoping that the System would once again defy logic, Lucas summoned its interface and saw what he could do.

As his gaze landed on the wheel-like interface and at the grayed-out columns that indicated they were unusable, Lucas' hope crumbled to the bottom of the abyss.

In the end, even the system has abandoned him.

However, as if thinking of something, Lucas' eyes suddenly lit up.

'Summon... I need to contract another summon!'

This was the only way.

If Spot was not enough to defeat the beast, then he would send another one.

As long as he could contract another beast, the System would once again awaken and give him an opportunity for Bloodline Detection. A powerful skill was a guarantee.

This time, Lucas no longer thought about his plans for his second beast.

This time, he was desperate enough to contract anything that he could find. Even if the level was high and there was a risk of backlash, Lucas no longer cared as long as they could get out of the current situation.

And at this time, at the corner of his eyes, Lucas saw something move.
