*Ding! Congratulations on reaching Rank-1.

*Ding! You completed Main Quest-II. you received 500 credits as a reward.

*Ding! You received a new main quest. Check the Quest list for details.

*Ding! You received a new summon, Lightning Panther. Check Familiar’s inventory for details.

*Ding! Your share in the purchases of system-created weapons has been increased to 20%.

”Lightning panther, huh… Cool. Panthers are usually fast and with lightning element, I can finish my enemies quicker.” Mark was obviously high on clouds, not only because he finally step into the path of Elites but also because his share has been increased by 10%.

He became curious about his summons. Since he doesn’t know anything about summoners, he was also excited to learn more about his class like how powerful would be the summons.

Do they possess any unique skills?

Can he only use the summons sent by the system or whether he can catch the summons from the wild?

Can he summon several of them at a time or not? If so, how must ether energy will be consumed?

Most importantly, were those also created by System just like the weapons? Or the system is bringing them from somewhere else?

Several questions were added to his list of unanswered questions that he hasn’t found the answer to yet.

”System, open Familiars inventory,” Mark proceeded to open the list of the familiars that he received until now. A new window opened.

The Familiars inventory looked just the same as normal inventory. However, there were very limited available slots, only five. The remaining slots were locked but were blinking as if they can be unlocked by paying something in return, possibly credits.

Mark didn’t bother with the inventory and focused on the two slots that are filled with two images. One has the image of a sparrow and the other has the image of a panther.

He clicked on sparrow first.

Another window popped up with an illustration of a sparrow where sparkles are dancing all over its body.

Below the image lies its information.

”I guess this can only be used for delivering letters.” Mark couldn’t help but let out a sigh as he was disappointed by its stats. For sure, it can’t be used to attack any beast, or else, considering its vitality, it will die as long as it gets hit.

But then again, it was a summon he received when he didn’t even make a breakthrough. So, he let it slide and kept his hopes on the next summon. After all, the first one is a sparrow and the second is a Panther. Naturally, the latter will be stronger.

Thankfully, the system didn’t disappoint him this time. His face even lit up in satisfaction upon seeing the stats. Then, his eyes fell on the description and immediately his face darkened, taking away all the happiness. However, after that, when he saw the skills, he became normal again. So, overall, it was a mixture of happiness and disappointment.

”The Panther has 1.9 points of strength. So, if it is a 150% attack, then, the overall damage will be almost at the same level as the normal attack of a 3-circle realm beast.

And as for the second skill, if we assumed all the five strikes were landed on the target, then, the overall damage will be the same as a normal attack of a 4-circle realm beast, which is at an advanced stage. But, I might have to wait for a while as my ether energy points are quite low.” Mark quickly calculated the pros and cons of this summon and felt very much satisfied with the second summon. Now, he was looking forward to the future summoning beasts.

Of course, whether at the current stage or in the future, Mark knew that his modern weapons will be more useful to take down the enemy. So, they should be his primary weapon and the summoning beasts should be assisting. The only thing Mark was hoping is that his summons to not get far behind the big weapons and forces him to abandon them.

In his imagination of the destroyed Imperial city, along with the Tanks and Fighter Jets, there were now beasts like dragons and other colossal beasts running amok wild while he was walking amid the dead bodies.

*Clap* ”Okay, now the time is around 1 o’clock. This is the only time where it is safe for me to leave the store and train in the Bloodhill forest. Who knows who will follow me and try to assassinate to take revenge for Song Clan…”

Mark was especially careful with the Song Clan as this major noble clan isn’t just limited to the Song Mansion and its security. The clan was also known to possess several higher realm experts. Moreover, the Supreme Commander General Of The Army who is a seven-circle realm expert is a close relative to Song Yun. What if he or his subordinates take action? There were too many unknowns.

On top of that, he wasn’t confident that things became normal again. Perhaps, if he had met Song Yue, he would have thought a bit differently. But, for now, he will have to go out in secret.

With only five hours left for sunrise, Mark acted quickly.

While everyone in the Imperial city is sleeping except for the patrolling soldiers, two people were moving through narrow alleys and streets like thieves so that they won’t be discovered by anyone.

It took more than three hours for Mark and Allen to reach the edge of the forest. There was a blue barrier over the perimeter stretching for several miles. ”Let’s go, Allen.”

Mark stepped inside the barrier and started to walk forward. The tall and thick trees around aren’t letting the moonlight illuminate the surroundings, making the area full of darkness. With the help of the lamp, Mark’s vision was restricted to only a few meters around.

Thankfully for him, there’s an assistant who can make the job easier for him.

”Allen, scan the place and find the beasts,” Mark ordered the Android while taking out a fully loaded Semi-automatic pistol with a magazine of ten rounds. He actually wanted to use Shotgun but changed his mind at the last minute as he felt the sector-9 was completely safe due to the low strength of the beasts.

*Bang*

He didn’t even walk a hundred meters into the forest and got interrupted by the sound from far away in the silent forest. It was damn familiar to him. ”Someone shot a bullet? Who?”
