My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 148 - 148: Encounter

Lucas took a look outside and realized that it was Shelsea and Sylvia, accompanied by some city guards.

Kane then explained the likely scenario why they were here.

Lucas nodded his head in understanding before he went out along with Kane to receive the guests.

Upon seeing that he was fine, Shelsea and Sylvia heaved a sigh of relief.

Shelsea then dismissed the guards before Lucas invited the two of them inside the house as well.

Since he did not have lunch yet, he invited all of them to eat along with him.

Fortunately, Kane offered a beast meat stored inside his Gobbling Toad and they used it for the meal.

Sylvia offered to cook and none of them declined it since they already knew that it was her specialty.

While she was cooking, Lucas showed off his newly contracted Gobbling Toad, earning praises and confusion from Sylvia and Shelsea.

After explaining the change that occurred to it, Shelsea shared her knowledge regarding that matter.

Although it did not differ much from what Kane had shared earlier, what she shared was somewhat a little advanced and had more substance.

For example, she shared that her Blood-Seeking Mouse, after the change that occurred during the contracting process, had its blood-seeking capabilities enhanced.

According to her, the change most likely occurred because her Blood-Seeking Mouse bathed with the blood of her Bloodhound while in the process of getting contracted.

Although it did not evolve successfully after such a change, she confirmed that it has indeed enhanced its blood-seeking abilities. That could be considered as 'half-evolution' as well.

Unfortunately, she also said that not all who experienced the 'half-evolution' had their capabilities increased like her Blood-Seeking Mouse.

Lucas nodded his head in understanding.

He also wondered if his Gobbling Toad has some enhancement that he was not aware of yet.

He already tried the Extra Pocket skill and he knew that it had not been enhanced. The other skill, Quick Leap, he has not tried yet. He hopes that it has some enhancement.

Unfortunately, they could not try it inside the house as the place was very tight.

Like what Kane had suggested, Lucas did not unsummon Shadow right after he was done showing it off.

Taking advantage of the summoning time, he stored all the things that needed to be stored, before placing Shadow under his shirt.

Shadow seemed uncomfortable, as he moved under his shirt, and finally found a place that he could settle in comfortably.

That place was right under his nape. Shadow latched onto his skin with his toes, merely exposing his eyes and nose out of his shirt's collar. Due to his hair and skin color, Shadow was obscured from the public eyes, but he himself has a full view of it.

Lucas also felt strange at first, but he got used to it after a while.

He looked at his grimoire and calculated the amount of Spiritual Energy needed to summon and maintain the summon of Shadow.

With Shadow's current Iron Star 7 rank along with the Reduction Talent of Lucas' Iron Grade Grimoire , he only needs a total of 18 Spiritual Energy to summon and maintain the summoning of Shadow every thirty minutes.

With his current Spiritual Energy reserve, he did not think that he would be able to afford summoning Shadow and Spot at the same time. However, summoning him for at least two hours at a time should not be impossible. Unless during a battle, he did not think that he would summon Shadow for that long, though.

A few minutes later, Sylvia finally served them the meal that she was cooking.

After they ate a hearty meal, Kane and the others left his house.

After they left, Lucas tried feeding Shadow with the Mud-Root Fish that he received from Lucas.

Fortunately, Shadow did not seem like a picky eater. Just like any other Gobbling Toad, Shadow was also fond of eating Mud-Root Fish.

Shadow only ate two Mud-Root Fish before feeling satisfied.

Lucas tried feeding Spot with the fish, but he only glanced at it for a brief second before he ignored it completely.

Lucas did not force Spot and stored the remaining fish inside the Extra Pocket.

He then sat and meditated to recover some Spiritual Energy.

After he filled his Spiritual Energy to the maximum amount, he continued with reading the stack of papers once again.

He sat leisurely in the small courtyard of his small house. Shadow was on his nape, while Spot was sleeping soundly on his lap.

As if no major event had happened this morning, Lucas continued his days like usual.

Meanwhile, a week has passed since the incident in Western Swamp.

After almost a week of

"What I meant is not important. Since you are here, it means that you are fated to encounter me."

The old man moved his eyes from Lucas and looked at the ordinary items below him.

"What do you think? Which one do you fancy?"

Looking at the array of ordinary items below, Lucas could not help but gulp a mouthful of saliva in nervousness.

All the items below looked ordinary.

It was very hard to choose.

The old man looked at him with a smile, showing no signs of intervening with his decision.

Lucas felt the pressure growing inside him.

This was once in a lifetime opportunity, and he knew that fortuitous encounters could not be easily encountered or obtained.

After struggling for a bit, Lucas gritted his teeth and finally pointed at the ordinary rock at the side.

Of all the items available here, only this rock looked extremely ordinary.

The most ordinary, amongst all the ordinary, can also be considered as something special if one looks at it from a different angle.

The old man smiled widely, waiting for Lucas to say that he wanted that rock.

However, before Lucas could say anything, a bark suddenly resounded beside his ears.

Spot had used Soft Bark!
