My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

The old bad habit of cursing his mind out that he had been unconsciously hiding deep inside him slowly rose as he saw the shocking scene.

"What the actual f*ckery f*ck is this?"

An Unranked Grade Iron Star 2 Gentle Dog was actually overpowering two Iron Grade Iron Star 3 Ember Soldier Ants?

He had never heard something like this before.

He could have accepted it easily if the Gentle Dog was of a higher grade than the Iron Grade ants, as higher-grade beasts tend to be stronger than beasts of lower grade on the same star rank.

An Unranked Grade Iron Star 2 Gentle Dog killed an Iron Grade Star 1 beast? That he could still accept, as the Gentle Dog has a higher star rank than the Iron Star 1 beasts. In that sense, even if it was of a lower grade, its strength was compensated by being higher in rank, so Lucas thought that it was only normal that it could defeat the Iron Star 1 beasts before.

However, not only were the Ember Soldier Ants of a higher grade than the Gentle Dog, they even had a higher star rank compared to the Gentle Dog.

And this was in a case of two versus one, where the two were known for being able to work together flawlessly well, while the Gentle Dog had just made its fighting debut earlier.

It must be noted that summoners also need to train their beasts. Some beasts were naturally timid, like his father\'s Strong Ape. Some also don\'t have the instinct to fight, so the summoners must train them well if they want to become strong.

The Gentle Dog was actually also like this at this moment. Its way of fighting was very crude and savage-like.

Heck, the reason why it was able to fight right now was solely because during the Hellhound form, its inner ferociousness increased.

When it was fighting with the Iron Star 1 beasts before, it always relied on its brute strength to kill the opponents.

Lucas just did not expect that it would still be the same case while fighting two beasts with a higher grade and star rank than them.

For Lucas, who had always studied and valued the information he received in this world, this was very inconceivable.

However, after thinking about it, the system was also an inconceivable thing. He thought that it seemed pretty normal for the Hellhound Manifestation skill that came from it to be inconceivable as well.

At this moment, the Gentle Dog was still highly active during the fight.

There was no sense of unease from it as it fought the two Ember Soldier Ants. Like before, its way of fighting was still very crude and unpolished.

Lucas knew of this because they were also taught basic martial arts in school as a form of self-defense.

Although the exoskeletons of the two Soldier Ember Ants were very hard, the paw of the Gentle Dog still managed to break through them by smashing them repeatedly.

Not long later, the two Ember Soldier Ants turned into particles of light, turning into Lucas\' experience points.

The Gentle Dog returned to Lucas\' side. It let out its signature low growl as a greeting and as a way to tell Lucas that the job was done.

Lucas nodded and patted the dog\'s head before he turned to look at the information on his grimoire.

[You have killed an Iron Grade-Iron Star 3 Ember Soldier Ant (100%): You have gained 4.64 XP]

[You have killed an Iron Grade-Iron Star 3 Ember Soldier Ant (100%): You have gained 4.64 XP]

Lucas widened his eyes upon seeing the number of experience points he got.

Normally, he would have only received around 3 experience points if he killed an Iron Grade Iron Star 3 beast with his Unranked grimoire. However, since it was considered that he was fighting above his level, he would naturally receive a bonus for doing such feats.

Although this was still pitifully low, compared to the 1.69 experience points he got from the Iron Star 1 creatures earlier, this 4.64 was already pretty massive.

At this moment, the total experience points he had were already at 14.35/100.

Lucas\' mind rapidly calculated, and he estimated that they only need to kill 19 more of such Ember Soldier Ants before he breaks through the 100 xp mark and becomes a full-fledged Iron Star 1 summoner.

Knowing that the Gentle Dog was actually too strong in the Hellhound form changes everything for Lucas.

With this, they can grow bolder during their hunt and target higher-level beasts. With such a set-up, it would surely not take long before he became an Iron Star 1 summoner.

Lucas also wondered about the ceiling of the Hellhound\'s strength.

For now, though, being able to fight a grade higher and a two-star rank above was already beyond belief for him.

Since the Gentle Dog was able to kill the Ember Soldier Ants, a plan has already formed inside Lucas\'s mind.

One thing to note about Ember Soldier Ants was that they were just periphery soldiers of a big colony of Ember Ants.

Aside from the fact that they work in tandem very well and were pretty hard to kill, the reason everyone was advised to get away from them was because of the huge colony behind them.

It was noted that if you saw Ember Soldier Ants, you should always assume that a colony of Ember Ants was nearby and that backup would soon arrive if a battle breaks out and it gets prolonged.

Knowing this, Lucas and the Gentle Dog did not linger in the area any longer.

They moved out and only stopped around a hundred meters away. Lucas left a mark as they retreated. He also memorized the location and marked it on the map as well.

After seeing that the area they were in was now safe, Lucas let the Gentle Dog transform back to its original form and let it rest, even though it was still far from the time limit.

Lucas did so because he also wanted to see if there were any cooldowns if the Gentle Dog reverted to normal form before the time limit was off.

Lucas nodded his head a moment later as he realized that, doing this, the Gentle Dog would only need to rest for two minutes before it could use the skill again.

While they were resting, Lucas also prepared for the plan he had been brewing earlier.

After he was done with the preparation, Lucas and the Gentle Dog set out for another hunt.

As for the target, it was none other than the Ember Soldier Ants themselves.
