Chapter 926 Shyvana (7k7 -in-)
One minute after the battle ended, Shogo Taguchi finally climbed up with the help of the wall and moved with difficulty to his two companions to check their breath.
"Huh... the wounds are not in the vital parts..."
Did he show mercy because he was also a summoner? Taguchi Shogo clenched his fists in fear and unwillingness. Damn it, we were both summoners, why was he so strong? !
The sound of orderly footsteps sounded again in the distance, more guards came running over, and a familiar figure flashed to his side.
“Shogo! Are you okay? Who is the enemy?” The chief magician of Farmus, the demon Lazen, looked around and said, “He was able to defeat the three of you and deal with a group of soldiers so quickly, and destroyed the streets like this… a strong wind magician? How dare he cause trouble in the capital!”
His face was dignified, his tone was cold, and he was obviously a little angry. He felt that his prestige as the most powerful magician in the West was being insulted.
But Shogo found it a little funny.
So you haven't gotten rid of control yet?
"...He's the alien you just summoned. He's from Japan like us, but he's incredibly strong."
"Huh?" Lazan was startled: "The alien from another world I just summoned?"
After two seconds of silence, he snorted coldly. Just when Taguchi Shogo thought that Larzan had finally lifted the negative state, he saw Larzan slapping Shogo's shoulder with one hand. A cool feeling spread throughout Shogo's body, making him clear-headed and the pain intensified, causing him to hiss and groan.
"Are you awake?" Lazan said seriously, "I was careless. The enemy actually has the skills of mind control. Maybe he wanted you to sneak attack me, but the summoner's soul is stronger, and it just confused your consciousness.
It’s okay, you’re already okay!”
"..."
Taguchi Shogo was silent for a while, then uttered a Japanese word: "Baga."
Lazan: “Ah?”
By the time more people reminded Lazan of the date and woke him up, it was already evening and an emergency meeting was held in the Farmus Palace.
Facing King Edmalis, Lazan reported: "This is my fault, Your Majesty. According to Shogo's description, the summoner this time has at least two or even three unique skills or special skills, and directly has B+ or even A-level strength. It is far beyond the reach of Shogo and his men. It should have become the foundation of the kingdom, but..."
The king, who was sitting on the throne and looked like a typical king from another world, said, "Even you, Mr. Larzen, were tricked. This time, the summoning from another world was really successful beyond imagination. Isn't there a spell? If you use that thing, Mr. Larzen should still be able to control the other party, right?"
Lazan shook his head and said, "I have tried it after I came back to my senses, but it didn't work. I don't know what kind of unique skill it is that can even break through the control of the spell. Anyway, now... I'm afraid I need the cooperation of General Folgen to send people to help me find him and capture him!"
"The spell is ineffective?" The king was surprised, then nodded and said, "No problem, Folgen, you will fully cooperate with Mr. Lazan from now on!"
"Yes!" the armored general responded.
Lazan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Please believe that this summoner will definitely bring unimaginable rewards to the kingdom!"
A week later.
Lazan shouted angrily, "No trace at all? Where did that guy hide?!"
……
《Confirmed. Acquired the general skill 'Trace Erase'.》
《Confirmed. Acquired the general skill 'Stealth'.》
《Confirmed. Gained the general skill 'Hunting'... Gained the general skill 'Dissection'... Gained the general skill... Skill fusion, gained the unique skill 'Wild Survivor'.》
After leaving the Kingdom of Farmus, Ji Xing headed all the way north. He went into towns when he came across them and traveled through the wilderness when he needed to. He did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, but as long as he didn't want to, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Farmus would not be able to discover him even if they passed by him closest to him.
The mere Kingdom of Farmus was nothing. He was confident that he could defeat the demon Lazen Jixing, who was secretly known as the strongest magician in the Western countries. However, if he could not kill all those who knew about it, it would only bring endless troubles.
The Paladins of the Holy Empire.
Yuuki Kagurazaka of the Freedom Guild.
Even the Eastern Empire, which lurks behind the undercurrent, would become curious upon hearing the news, or try to test and win over him because of his identity as a summoner.
When they first invaded, Ji Xing wanted to develop at his own pace, collect starlight and become famous in his own way. Giving the Kingdom of Farmus hope of finding him would only delay the spread of his information.
So for the past week, he played hide-and-seek with the Farmus Kingdom while strengthening his physical foundation in addition to his skills and absorbing magic elements.
Speaking of magic essence, it is a special energy in this world. The higher the magic essence content of a creature, the more magic power and physical strength it has, which greatly affects the individual's combat effectiveness.
With the huge advantages of skills, techniques, and experience, Ji Xing can deal the greatest damage with the least consumption, but the more of this stuff the better, and the shortest wooden board needs to be filled.
Judging from the results over the past few days, the increase in magic elements will also help unlock Ji Xing's soul energy, and help him acquire and evolve skills.
When it came to acquiring skills, he still controlled himself and only solidified the necessary ones, because he found that all skills were built around the soul. In other words, the slots in the skill bar were always limited, but there were too many skills to be equipped, so he had to leave two or three slots in case of emergency.
So Ji Xing strolled out of the border of the Kingdom of Farmus and entered another western country.
The Kingdom of Brumund.
This country is very small, but it is located in a strategic transportation location. It is connected to the western countries such as the Kingdom of Farmus in the west, the Kingdom of Ingracia, which has the Adventurers Mutual Aid Guild and the Free Guild headquarters in the north, the famous Holy Empire in the northwest, and a small area in the southeast that is connected to the Monster Paradise, the Great Jura Forest where Rimuru is now building a country. Therefore, it has become a gathering place for adventurers.
Walking on the street, Ji Xing felt like he had traveled into a world like that of "Dungeon and Fighter". Adventurers were gathered in groups of three or five, wearing cloth, plate armor and leather armor, equipped with basically mediocre weapons, and discussing various low-level tasks.
The adventurer level starts from F, and although the upper limit is divided into special S, which is equivalent to the disaster level, even A-level adventurers are very rare, and the vast majority are only at the D, E, and F levels.
Ji Xing, dressed as a Swift Swordsman, stood out in the crowd and was noticed by several groups of adventurers before he had walked far.
The crowd looked at Ji Xing in surprise. One of the teams hesitated and suddenly approached.
This team consists of only three people, two men and one woman. The leader is a young man in his twenties who looks a bit immature. He said with enthusiasm despite his social phobia:
"Hello, are you alone? We are the Klins Adventure Team, the average level of our team members is D, and the team level is D+. We have just received a D-level mission to eliminate a pack of hunting dogs in the northern forest, but the team's main swordsman... has a problem. Can you come with us? Half of the reward will be yours!"
“Hahaha…” Before Ji Xing could reply, a burst of laughter rang out from not far away: “Clins, you haven’t given up yet? I remember that the mission deadline is less than 24 hours. If you fail to complete it, your team will be demoted!”
There was another team over there. The bearded young man in the lead was looking at Ji Xing with disdain and said, "The guy you asked for help this time looks good, but whether he is willing to agree to your unreasonable request is not the only thing. You are so desperate that you don't even ask about his adventurer level?"
Collins turned around and glared at him: "Maago, you won't succeed! Even if there are only three of us, I will definitely complete this mission!"
The other two also cast angry glances, and angry shouts like "despicable" continued to be heard. He explained to Ji Xing again: "Sorry, you don't have to pay attention to them. The Miago team is a D+ team like us, and they are jealous that we finished the last competitive mission before them. Our main swordsman was ambushed by them, and he broke a leg and is recuperating, which is why he is like this now...
If it bothers you, just pretend I never asked!"
Competition between adventurers? Ji Xing's eyes briefly wandered between the two teams, and he smiled slightly and said, "It's just a favor, of course no problem, I hate despicable people the most.
But I have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to register and assess my initial level first, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to carry out the mission with you."
"..." The three people in front of him slowly showed astonishment. Rating? You dressed more senior than anyone else, but you turned out to be a newbie? !
For some reason, Maiago in the distance had an expression as if he had eaten a fly. It took him several seconds to straighten his expression and he laughed and mocked.
Collins's expression was grim for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself, as if it was an illusion, and said, "No problem! You look like a very capable swordsman, you can definitely easily be ranked above D-level!"
"That's it, we'll take you there!" The girls in the team also smiled innocently.
"Thank you very much." Ji Xing said.
He followed the team to the Adventurer's Guild, and gave a smile when passing by the Maago team, but Maago snorted coldly and even made a "kill" gesture on his neck.
The two people behind him looked worried, but they didn't seem to be worried about Collins' team completing the mission.
Ji Xing smiled in his heart: "I just came here to get the identity of an adventurer so that I can travel around the world. Now it seems that the life of adventurers in this world is quite colorful, and there are dangers everywhere."
……
The process of registering an adventurer is very simple.
Ji Xing directly used his real name and filled in his age as 18. He is good at swordsmanship and fighting, and his suitable position in the team is 'main swordsman'.
Then a decadent middle-aged man with untidy beard appeared in front of Ji Xing and his friends: "I am Ji Jisi, the test officer of the Adventurer's Guild. If you want to accept the test, follow me."
"Come on, Mr. Ji Xing." Collins nodded to Ji Xing, and he and his team members made encouraging expressions.
The test was open to the public, and many adventurers came over when they saw the excitement. The Maago team, who had walked into the Adventurer's Guild at some point, also joined the crowd. Quietly, Maago and Collins exchanged glances.
Ji Xing, who was listening to Ji Jisi's introduction of the rules, did not see this scene and nodded: "Don't leave this box and defeat the assessment target?"
"Yes, the level of the assessment target will be gradually increased, starting from level E, and there is no lowest level F. If you are not confident in your own strength and give up the assessment, I will mark you as an F-level adventurer. It's not too late to give up now. If you overestimate your own abilities, you may lose your life!"
"Got it." Ji Xing replied: "Who is my opponent? Is he a human or a monster?"
"It's to summon a monster." Jijis calmly walked to the outside of the venue and signaled the adventurers who were surrounding him to be quiet. "So, are you ready?"
When Ji Xing nodded in response, the magic power in his body rolled and he said in a low voice:
"Come out, hunting dogs!"
A magic circle appeared in front of Ji Xing, and a ferocious greyhound jumped out of it!
This is a common E-level monster, and it is also the target of the mission mentioned by Collins. Although the threat is greater in groups, a single one can easily rip open an ordinary person's stomach.
Once summoned, the human-sized hunting dog rushed towards Ji Xing ferociously, with its sharp claws extended and foul-smelling saliva dripping from its mouth!
Ji Xing drew his sword and swung it.
Most of the adventurers on the periphery only saw a dreamy crescent moon, and then saw the hunting dog's body frozen in mid-air, blood splattering!
bang bang—
The torn body of the hunting dog fell to the ground, and the adventurers gasped softly.
To be able to kill an E-rank monster so quickly and efficiently would be considered outstanding among D-rank adventurers! This guy's clothes are not in vain, it seems that he just didn't do any evaluation before!
At the same time, Klins and Maiago's eyes flashed with secret joy, and Klins' team shouted: "Awesome! Mr. Ji Xing! I knew this would be easy for you!"
"Quiet." The evaluator Ji Jisi emphasized, and looked at Ji Xing in surprise, and said: "Do you want to continue? Now I can directly judge you as a D-level adventurer."
"continue."
Then the evil ghost goblin of e+ appeared.
The D-level Garo then came out.
Without exception, these summons were beheaded by Ji Xing with one sword, and Ji Xing was not allowed to move from beginning to end. The atmosphere of the peripheral adventurers gradually became weird, and Collins's expression changed from surprise to hidden tension.
"Do you want to skip levels?" Jigis, who had collected the body of the wolf, said solemnly, "I think you can go directly to the B-level assessment.
Your opponent is a low-level demon. Although it is only C to C+ in terms of magic power, demons are aggregates of spirits and cannot be harmed by ordinary sword skills. It is up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."
Jixing nodded, “Come on.”
Then a lower-level demon that looked like a sheep with devil wings flew out from the summoning circle, and the surrounding adventurers became restless again!
……
"Great, Mr. Jixing!"
"I didn't expect that you would be directly evaluated as a B-level adventurer. You didn't see the expressions of those guys from Maiago, hahaha..." Ten minutes later, the Klins team that left the Adventurer's Guild surrounded Ji Xing with admiration on their faces.
Ji Xing shook his head modestly, "I thought I could set a higher level, but I didn't expect it would be a bit difficult to deal with a lower-level demon."
"It's already very powerful. After all, it's a demon, and demons are special!" The girl in the team said with longing: "Give me another ten years, and I will be satisfied if I can defeat a lower-level demon."
Collins looked hesitant, and walked a distance before saying, "But for a B-level adventurer like you, the points and money brought by a D-level mission are too little. This is a complete waste of your time. Otherwise..."
"It doesn't matter. We agreed on this, didn't we?" Ji Xing shook his head and looked at him seriously: "As long as you think it's appropriate, let's go and complete your team's mission now."
Collins hesitated for a moment, and the girl beside him nudged him secretly. He smiled and said, "Of course it's suitable. With a great master like you, there's nothing wrong with it. We really need to complete the task to maintain the team's level, so I won't be polite to you this time, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Yes, we will remember your kindness, Mr. Ji Xing!" said another team member.
“The kind that you won’t forget even if you become successful in the future?” Ji Xing smiled and said, “Then… share the mission information with me, and we’ll set off?”
"Ok!"
Having prepared their belongings and dry food long ago, the group of four immediately headed northeast.
Leaving the town in that direction, there is a group of mountains called the 'Red Forest Mountains', which covers an area almost as large as the Kingdom of Brumond. There are many monsters in it, and it is also the main activity area for adventurers here - monsters can bring security risks, but they can also bring precious resources.
Soon they reached the edge of the wilderness. Collins took out a small bottle from his backpack and said, "I wonder if Mr. Ji Xing had any experience walking in the wild before he became an adventurer. Sometimes in the wild, it is not even monsters that threaten our lives, but some common poisonous insects and snakes.
This is our own anti-parasitic drug. Just apply a little on your wrists and ankles, and it will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Oh? I've heard of this, but I've never seen it." Ji Xing took it and opened it, smelling a slight fishy smell. He naturally applied a little on his body as Collins asked, "Well, don't you need to apply it?"
The girl in the team pouted and said coquettishly, "You didn't smell it? We often go to the Red Forest Mountains and always put this kind of medicine on our bodies. Some of it can't be washed off even after taking a shower. I was worried that you would think we were not clean!"
"I see." Ji Xing returned the bottle as if he suddenly realized something. "I wouldn't have put it on if I had known. Being with the three of you is like carrying three bottles of anthelmintic."
"Hahaha, look at what you said, it's not like we're stuck together, what if something happens in the mountains and we're temporarily separated?"
After a brief interlude, the four of them walked into the Red Forest Mountains and headed towards their destination.
On the way, they encountered some low-level, unintelligent and ferocious monsters, all of which were killed by Ji Xing with one sword. When it was evening, they finally arrived at their destination, a valley formed by a series of mountains.
"I've never felt so relaxed walking in this mountain." The girl stretched and said with emotion, "It would be great if you could be as good as Mr. Ji Xing, Captain!"
"Haha, if I were that good, you wouldn't be able to be my team members." Collins joked with her, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Then he pointed forward and said, "According to the records, the target hunting dog group lives in that valley, Mr. Ji Xing.
Hmm... How about we just be lazy and steal to the end? After all, they are a pack of hounds. You can kill them one by one with your sword, and we will have to use some tricks. Then we might even become a burden to you... Hahaha, am I being too pushy? Sorry."
"It's okay." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Help others to the end. Meeting is fate. But there is one thing I don't understand. This place is no longer considered the outer periphery of the mountain range. Caravans usually don't pass through this kind of place. Why is it necessary to clear out the hunting dogs that live here?"
"Uh..." Klins paused, shook his head and said, "I really don't know. The Adventurer's Association sometimes issues such tasks. It may also be... to train low-level adventurers."
"In that case, it seems that our behavior is even more excessive," the girl laughed.
"It's all Maiago's fault!"
They changed the subject and started to criticize Mai Ago and the others. Ji Xing nodded in understanding and said to them, "Then I'll go over. The ear is the quest item, right?"
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work!"
"We will hide behind this tree for now and won't cause any trouble for you!"
They watched Ji Xing walk into the valley with an apologetic and grateful look on their faces, and their original expressions suddenly changed into indifference.
“Huh…” The girl let out a long breath, and her innocent and lovely appearance in front of Ji Xing turned a little cold. She said, “Karl, you really can’t say a word! If it weren’t for Collins and I joking around and cooperating well, he would have discovered your unnatural acting skills long ago!”
The burly man who had little presence in the three-man team snorted, "Who knew that Collins would just stop a B-level guy with a casual move? Who wouldn't be nervous if it was him?! Do you think your acting is natural? It's just that the guy is not very old, and he just pretends to be mature so I didn't see through him!"
"You actually said that about me..."
"Alright." Collins interrupted the quarrel and said, "I made a mistake in my judgment. I felt that guy was about C-level, which is equivalent to us. But B-level is better. He can cause more damage to that thing!"
The other two looked at each other and nodded in agreement. The girl smiled again and said, "As long as we kill that thing, we will become the most famous adventurer team in Brumond! Countless wealth and fame will belong to us!"
"And us." A voice came from not far away. It was the Miago team: "How is it, is the bait taken?"
Collins smiled slightly and was about to answer when suddenly a roar was heard in the distance and the flames of the explosion lit up the evening sky!
……
No conspiracy could be hidden from Ji Xing, he had known that the two teams were up to something. But when he walked into the valley and confirmed the goals of the two teams, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
The pillar of flame was cut open by his sword, and the raging fire burned his robes.
What appeared in his eyes was a dragon!
A ferocious dragon crawling on the ground!
The scales shining with metallic luster reflected orange-red light under the flames. A pair of ferocious horns stood on the huge head. The strong and powerful limbs tore the ground beneath their feet. Wisps of fire spewed out from their heavy nostrils.
This is a fire dragon.
It is not too closely related to the only four dragon species and the most powerful life forms in the world. The other dragons in this world are just monsters born from some dragon factors leaked from them, but some high-level existences among them are also powerful lives that can bring disaster and fear to people!
Standing at the top of them is the Dragon King who possesses the wisdom to control his clan, and below him are the elemental dragons of the four attributes of earth, wind, water, and fire.
When a Flame Dragon reaches adulthood, it has the chance to grow into an A+ Disaster Level life! That's the same level as an unawakened Demon King like Clayman!
The flaming dragon in front of him was not yet an adult. Its width and wingspan were only seven or eight meters, and its length was only fifteen or sixteen meters, but the aura it exuded had reached the A- to A-level.
But its condition doesn't seem to be very good.
Its right wing was torn in half by something unknown, and the dried blood on it looked extremely hideous. It probably had lost the ability to fly.
Its left eye had even gone blind and turned into a bloody hole, and there was even a faint stench of decay coming from beneath its body.
It displayed its dragon power and murderous intent towards Ji Xing who came in front of it, but it could not conceal its extremely bad and weak condition.
Ji Xing put the sword back into the scabbard with his backhand.
"I see."
On the other side, Klins and his six companions formed a small team and were quietly approaching the valley.
Their target was exactly this injured Fiery Dragon! The story goes back to a dozen days ago, when they were hunting in the Red Forest Mountains, they happened to see a battle. The two sides of the battle were the Flame Dragon, the overlord of the mountains, and a group of B-level inverted rock bats.
The Flame Dragon demonstrated its dominant position, and its flames burned the strange bats into charcoal, but those bats also caused considerable damage to the Flame Dragon, so much so that the overlord did not dare to return to the center of the mountains for the time being, and could only live in this valley.
Originally, even if the Flame Dragon was injured, they did not dare to do anything rash, but it was also the Flame Dragon's bad luck. It didn't know that there were some poisonous clam monsters living in the lake in this valley. When cleaning the wound, the injury was made worse, which exceeded its ability to heal itself!
The opportunity was rare, and a few days after confirmation, they took action.
But they still underestimated a nearly A-level monster, and the team suffered heavy losses. Even their captain lost a leg forever and retired from the ranks of adventurers in disgrace.
Before they quit, the captain advised them to give up, but the six of them were unwilling to do so. How could they give up when things had come to this point?
So they started looking for 'cannon fodder'.
On the one hand, he wanted to make sure whether the Flame Dragon's injuries had improved over the past few days, and on the other hand, he was also trying to poison the Flame Dragon!
The 'anthelmintic' that Collins gave Ji Xing was a mixture of rock bat body fluid and something highly toxic.
The former will make the Flame Dragon lock on to Ji Xing, and the latter... if the Flame Dragon swallows Ji Xing in anger, the success rate will at least increase by two times!
This plan had been going smoothly so far, except for the fact that Ji Xing was unexpectedly a B-level warrior, until they turned the corner and brought Ji Xing and the Flame Dragon into their frontal view.
"Varied……"
"Why……"
At this moment, they felt like they had entered a dream, because what they saw was something that was absolutely impossible to happen!
The ferocious and hideous flame dragon was lying on the ground, and it seemed to be obedient and let Ji Xing gently stroke its head with his right hand.
Is this a flaming dragon?
Or a hunting dog?!
An indescribable panic enveloped them and they knew something was wrong, but the next moment, Ji Xing turned around and looked at them.
The pupils were tinted with gold.
The roar of a dragon resounded in their minds!
Unique skill, Dragon Slayer, activated!
The extremely powerful pressure caused four of them to lose consciousness due to their eyes rolling back. Only Collins and Maiago were left, and they also knelt on the ground.
They actually hoped to faint, because they immediately heard something that frightened them even more: "Your injuries are unlikely to heal on your own, and will only get worse. Are you willing to be my mount? If you are willing, I will give you a name, and the subsequent evolution will hopefully allow you to recover."
What is he saying?
He wants to name the Flame Dragon?
Naming an A-rank monster? !
In this world, a monster's name can represent something extraordinary.
When naming a monster, the namer will naturally take the upper hand to establish a soul connection, and use his or her own magic to drive the named monster to evolve.
The more powerful the monster is, the more dangerous it is to name it, and it may even put your life in danger.
They had never heard of naming such a dominant life form, so perhaps only the legendary demon kings could do it? Was he crazy?
No, who is he?!
As the two were in shock, the Flame Dragon rubbed Ji Xing's palm with its wounded head.
Ji Xing shook his head and said, "It will be a bit difficult, but you are a dragon, so it will be no problem."
"Well, it seems you agree."
He pondered for a moment, took two steps back, looked at the flaming dragon again, and said with a smile: "Then... from now on, you will be called Shyvana."
hum-
The words fell suddenly.
The surging and terrifying magic light rises!
