Chapter 367 - Volume 3
Chapter 146 – Rock Garurumon
The Rock Shadow Beast which had its front paws on Carglise’s chest did not continue its attack, and it instead looked up at Brendel with its head that was formed with sharp jagged rocks. The latter nodded and the magical creature retreated instantly.
“That Rock Panther seems like it’s almost as strong as the Obsidian Panthers now. Why is it so strong all of a sudden?” Carglise rubbed his chest and asked.
Brendel nodded and agreed with the assessment. It was strong for an Iron-ranked monster because it was an Elemental Spirit. This meant that it could nullify half the damage from a physical attack. Its agility was also a tier higher than the older version. The overall prowess of this summon was actually higher than the Obsidian Panther, or it would not have taken down Carglise in a single swoop.
The Black Wolf was next. Since it was strengthened by the Earth Element, Carglise would not be a match against it. He got Kodan to test the creature. The results were easy to predict.
The Black Wolf was defeated.
Its offensive strength was slightly weaker than a Silver-ranker, but its defensive capabilities were high enough that it could shrug off Kodan’s normal strikes.
Brendel could not help but narrow his eyes in consideration. The summoned wolf was stronger than the normal Black Wolves found in this Dark Forest. There was the possibility where his Nest system could be upgraded if he found more equipment related to it.
“It feels like there’s some kind of powerful Mana Distortion right now,” Rono said, “and in the first place, the Dark Forest isn’t a place where communication magic works well. Even the wizards that came with us had to rely on the artifact we brought in order to communicate with the outside world.”
“If that’s the case we should leave her behind. Bringing a child with us will slow us down.” Elman replied with a little impatience.
“Viscount Elman,” Faena creased her brows as she spoke, “how can you utter those words when you’re a Kirrlutz’s noble! Leaving a child behind?”
Elman was surprised and looked at Faena and Rono; both their faces had disapproval written on their faces. He changed his tone: “I apologize, that was a shameful display.”
Faena wanted to speak again, but she was interrupted by a voice that came out from nowhere—
“Hehe, the three of you still have the mood to quarrel when danger is right in front of your faces. How interesting.”
The abrupt voice echoed within the forest, causing the surroundings to suddenly turn silent.
