New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 917: Dark Fire Elemental Spirit

ʼSwooshʼ

Soon, the silhouette materialized into a humanoid shape before looking at Edmond.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the silhouette in the cave, Udo was surprised; however, Edmond raised his eyebrows and there was no surprised look on his face.

”Summoning master, there is someone coming towards the cave.”

In the next second, the blackish red-coloured elemental spirit replied to Edmond in a respectful manner.

Thatʼs right!

It was an elemental spirit and it called Edmond as ʼSummoning masterʼ.

ʼ...ʼ

When he heard those words, Udo was speechless as he looked at Edmond with a surprised look on his face.

”Thanks for informing. You can go back to your duty and continue to keep an eye on my surroundings.”

Edmond looked at Udo but he didnʼt say anything to him; instead, he nodded his head at his elemental spirit as he ordered him to go back to his duty.

”Yes, summoning master.”

Since the elemental spirit knew how powerful his summoning master was, he didnʼt bother to say anything and just dissolved into the ground before disappearing.

”It might be one of the top 10 mercenary squads. Be prepared to kill anyone that comes through the entrance.”

As a mercenary for a few years, Edmond picked up many things and he knew who could track him in such a short time. So, he asked Udo to be careful.

”I will.”

While maintaining the same surprised look on his face, Udo nodded his head at Edmond and focused on the entrance of the cave which was covered by a huge boulder and some bushes.

”Why are you shocked after seeing my elemental spirit? You know I am a summoner, right?”

All of a sudden, Edmond asked Udo with a small laugh.

Even though they were in a tough situation right now, Edmond could not help but laugh at Udo when he saw the surprised look on his face.

”I know that you are a summoner but I donʼt know you are a dual elemental summoner.”

Soon, Udoʼs surprised look replaced with a scoff as he continued saying, ”What can I expect from you? You never even showed me your elemental spirits. Even at the life and death situations, you never used them as though summoning them would decrease your lifespan.”

”Actually, I am not a dual elemental summoner.”

After hearing Udoʼs words, Edmondʼs laugh increased even more as he shook his head and continued saying, ”Donʼt get fooled with the elemental spiritʼs colour. Not all black-coloured elemental spirits will belong to dark or shadow elements.”

”Then?”

”The elemental spirit you have just seen is a fire elemental spirit; however, he mutated after I formed a contract with him and became a dark fire elemental spirit.”

With a slight smile on his face, Edmond replied to Udoʼs question.

”So, how many elemental spirits do you have? Five? I know you will have three official elemental spirits but I wonder how many unofficial elemental spirits you have.”

After hearing Edmondʼs words, Udo felt a little more knowledge about the elemental spirits as he continued asking, ”With your persuasion talents, I will not be surprised even if you have five unofficial elemental spirits.”

Even though Udo and Edmond were close and adventuring for years, Udo didnʼt know anything about Edmondʼs elemental spirits or how many more elemental spirits he had in his spirit consciousness.

Moreover, today is the first day he had seen one of Edmondʼs elemental spirits. So, he became a lot more curious as he asked more questions to Edmond.

”Everyone be careful.”

Just after Udo finished his words, they heard a loud voice from the outside.

”Today is not the time.”

Hearing the voice from the outside, Edmondʼs face turned ugly because he knew who was the owner of the voice. So, he looked at Udo and shook his head.

ʼI doubt you would have answered all my questions even if he didnʼt come.ʼ

Similarly, Udo had recognized the voice and knew who was outside the cave; however, he scoffed at Edmond because Udo was very sure that he would not get any answers from Edmond.

Even when Edmond was almost near a life and death situation, he didnʼt dare to use his elemental spirits or other trump cards. So, Udo didnʼt think Edmond was going to answer his questions even if the Quickthunder mercenary squad didnʼt come.

”The day is very near when you can see all my elemental spirits.”

Despite the fact Udoʼs voice was very low, Edmond was able to hear them as he replied to Udo with a slight smile on his face.

”Yeah yeah. I know and when that day comes, I might not even be alive.”

Udo didnʼt have many expectations because he knew about Edmond for many years. So, if he didnʼt want someone to see his elemental spirits, even if he died, he is not going to summon them.

ʼKeep your voice down. I think you already know who is outside the cave, right?ʼ

Edmond shook his head as he diverted the topic.

ʼOf course, I know. The one who mocked you in front of everyone for having very low cultivation among the top 10 mercenary squads. How could I forget him?ʼ

Soon, Udo smiled as he replied to Edmond.

ʼ...ʼ

Edmond was speechless at Udoʼs words because he was just trying to divert the topic; however, Udo really knew how to annoy him.

ʼIf you continue to annoy me, I am not going to watch your back. Soo, you better be careful when you annoy me.ʼ

Edmond scoffed at Udo as he transmitted his voice to Udo through voice transmission.

ʼHaha...look, who is talking about watching my back. If not for me, you would have already died more than a dozen times. So, you better return the favour; otherwise, I will haunt you to death.ʼ

As for Udo, after hearing Edmondʼs words, he could not help but laugh as he mocked Edmond to watch his back in their future fights.
