New Age Of Summoners

　　In the mutated Bronze demon world,

　　There is a huge castle in that world and inside that castle, a bronze demon king in black robes was sitting cross-legged.

　　’During this trip, I have to capture at least a dozen elemental spirits.’

　　With an evil smile, the bronze demon king muttered to himself, ’The demand of the enslaved elemental spirits is growing day by day. If everything goes like that, I might become the sixth demon emperor with my own territory.’

　　When the bronze demon king thought about it, he could not help but become excited.

　　Currently, he only owns a single smaller world. He amassed by selling the elemental spirits over the past few years, he was almost as rich as the five demon emperors.

　　Even with such wealth, the bronze demon king didn’t dare to own a normal demon world and continued to nurture his bronze demon world and enslaved more and more elemental spirits.

　　He was just waiting for a perfect opportunity to become the six demon emperors of the Demon cluster that was filled with demon worlds.

　　’Even though the demon emperors knew that I have been keeping the rare elemental spirits that have the potential to become the elemental spirit emperors, they will not act until I show my thirst for power.’

　　’At the time, I will not even have the time to defend myself before getting killed by them. Therefore, I should only act when I am confident in becoming the sixth demon emperor in a single go.’

　　The bronze demons belong to the weakest class of the demon race and the current five demon emperors of the demon cluster would not accept a bronze demon becoming the six demon emperors and sitting with them.

　　So, he was careful with every single one of his actions. 

　　...

　　In some random place.

　　’Swoosh’

　　A small portal opened as Ajax walked out of it and checked his surroundings.

　　’Huh? This bronze demon world is completely different from the bronze demon worlds I visited previously.’

　　It was not Ajax’s first time visiting a Bronze demon world. 

　　In the past, he had destroyed more than a dozen bronze demon worlds; however, none of them looked like the current one.

　　The surroundings were full of trees and weird plants. 

　　Overall, it seemed like the currently bronze demon world was filled with life energy and demonic energy, unlike the previous bronze demon world which was completely barren and filled with only demonic energy.

　　”Is it because of the mutation?”

　　From the information given by the system, Ajax knew the reason why the bronze demon king of this world was able to enslave the elemental spirits.

　　It was because the bronze demon king and this world both were mutated for some unknown reason.

　　’Anyway, I have to finish the mission soon and prepare for the auction in the trader’s realm.’

　　Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the changes in the bronze demon world.

　　’I wonder if the bronze demon king has entered the elemental spirit world connected to this world?’

　　According to the system, if he destroyed the bronze demon world, the elemental spirit world connected to it also gets destroyed. 

　　Not only that, even if he killed the bronze demon king, the elemental spirit world would be destroyed.

　　That’s the reason why Ajax waited to build his strength because even a slight mistake would destroy the elemental spirit world.

　　’Now, not only did my spirit consciousness form become a lot stronger but if I focus, I can even use my skills and cultivation techniques in my spirit consciousness form.’

　　Previously when he had to drop a single drop of his blood on the world core of the Purple stone world, Ajax learned that he could bleed even in his spirit consciousness form.

　　After that, whenever he had time in the last few days, Ajax trained in his spirit consciousness form to use the skills and the cultivation techniques and learned he could successfully execute them.

　　’However, I can only use them multiple times before my spirit consciousness returns to my body.’

　　Ajax muttered the limitations of such ability and decided to finish the mission in a single go.

　　At the same time, he hoped that the bronze demon king would enter the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form. So that he could sever the connection between the bronze demon king and the elemental spirit world.

　　’As for the connection between the bronze demon world and the elemental spirit world, let’s not worry about it for now.’

　　The main problem at hand was the connection of the bronze demon king with the elemental spirit world. As long as he takes care of that, he could slowly take care of the second problem.

　　’Let’s find out whether the bronze demon king entered the elemental spirit world or not.’

　　’Dragon wings.’

　　With that thought in his mind, Ajax flew towards the huge castle with his new skill ’Dragon wings’.

　　Of course, he killed all the bronze demons along the way the moment they saw him.

　　’Swoosh’

　　When he reached closer to the castle, Ajax stopped flying and slowly walked toward it.

　　”No guards?”

　　Ajax frowned when he saw there was not a single bronze demon guarding the huge castle.

　　’Looks like the bronze demon king was confident that no one would enter the world.’

　　Ajax revealed a slight smile and muttered, ’But, you have no idea that I can directly open a portal directly into this world.’

　　When he received this mission, the system also gave the world ticket that could open the portal to the mutated bronze demon world.

　　And the bronze demon king was confident that no one would dare to invade his world despite being a smaller world because it was surrounded by more than 10 normal-grade demon worlds. 

　　’Let’s enter.’

　　Ajax jumped the huge wall and entered the castle.

　　”Intruder…intruder.”

　　However, the moment Ajax’s feet touch the ground a loud voice resounded in the entire bronze demon world.
