Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

-----

The battle continued within the Poisonous Purple Forest, as the army of Scarlet Crickets began to fall down but the new Scarlet Armored Cricket Generals emerged, which were stronger but also netted even more sweet Experience Points than the rest.

[Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)]

As I was able to see, they were D-Rank+++, the peak of D-Rank! But I was already C-Rank anyways, and the strength of most of my summons was also around C-Rank, with Kireina probably being peak C-Rank based on her strength alone.

The larger and stronger near four-meter-tall bugs that were these Scarlet Cricket Generals had resilient bodies, they were able to take on four of my normal attacks at once, but if I combined them and spent large quantities of Mana like my Excalibur "technique", they were easily decimated.

I went to pick up the glistening items and gold coins dropped by these monsters until I found a new dropped item, it was named [Ability Sphere], and it contained the picture of the Scarlet Cricket General on it…

[Ability Sphere: [Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)]

Absorb this Ability Sphere to gain the essence of the monster [Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)] and attain the random chance to get one of its abilities.

It can also be consumed to obtain Skill Points.

…

Oh, so these items can grant random Skills or Skill Points, similarly to Vampire Overlord's System, I suppose.

Nonetheless, unlike that character, I lack a Skill Tree to concentrate on, so any Skill I can get my hands into is a good thing.

"GRRYAR!"

However, there wasn't even a single second for me to relax and absorb the sphere, as a group of five Scarlet Cricket Generals rushed towards me and showered me with a barrage of crimson-red energy beams unleashed from their super-fast kicking legs.

"Master!"

However, before I could defend myself, evade, or intercept their attacks with my own, Kireina rushed in front of me and used her flesh body as a shield!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Her entire expanding flesh was burnt and splattered, but her flesh continued to expand and drain my mana, making it so her regeneration hastened… Although I didn't particularly like it, she was more or less able to use her own flesh as a shield.

However, I had no time to tell her to not be reckless, as I was quite the reckless man at this point, rushing right towards my enemies and all…

I quickly joined her, as she caught the Generals and weakened them.

Then an idea surged into my head… Why don't I tame these guys?

I quickly told Kireina to use her Illusion Magic, infusing hundreds of mana into it until she finally managed to brainwash these beasts, and then I tamed three of them, the max amount you could tame of a single monster!

"Hahah! Serve my master now, you puny insects!" laughed Kireina, as she enjoyed these beasts tamed by me.

They all became obedient, as I gave them the first order of slaughter the other Generals Kireina got caught within her fleshy tentacles, which they immediately began to crush into pieces with their powerful jaws and kicks!

My other Summons and the Tamed Monsters quickly rushed towards us, defending us by making a circular formation around me, so I was able to relaxedly watch the beasts slaughter their kin.

"Good!" I said, as I quickly fused them together, using 6000 Gold, and then used another 10000 Gold to fuse it over the fused Spider!

[You exchanged 6000 Gold!]

[Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)] + [Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)] + [Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket General (D-Rank+++)] = [Giant Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket Tyrant (D-Grade+++)]

[You exchanged 10000 Gold!]

[Giant Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket Tyrant (D-Grade+++)] + Great Armored Poisonous Flesh Spider (D-Grade+)] = [Giant Scarlet Armored Poisonous Spider Tyrant (C-Grade)]

And there it is! A new member has joined us in the form of a giant spider of over five meters! Its entire body was covered in hard and metallic crimson-red armor, and its gleaming crimson eyes seemed ready to slaughter! Each of its eight legs had blade-like tips made of this metallic exoskeleton, and its last pair of legs were thick and muscular as well, like those of crickets!

"GRRRYSHA!"

The giant Scarlet Spider roared, as I ordered it to obey Cuco and join the battle!

The Scarlet Spider began to slaughter the Generals by using her sharp blade legs and even kicking them with her powerful and muscular hind legs, crushing the beasts from left and right!

Just by watching, I was already earning more and more EXP!

I realized that the Generals were lowering on numbers, so I quickly joined the battle with Kireina so we could slaughter the last of these monsters and get the most EXP possible.

I raised my staff and released several slashes of Sanguine Sword combined with Holy Light Beam and even Phantasmal Fire and Dark Wind, generating spiraling waves of vitality-draining holy light flames and darkness, which engulfed anything it touched and even the trees, causing complete chaos at ever to swing of my staff!

However, using this powerful combination cost a lot of Mana! Thankfully, amongst the item that these armies of monsters dropped, there were also Mana and Vitality Potions, although they only recovered like 200, it was enough, as I had accumulated over 40 and I drank the Mana Potions frantically!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions of yellow-golden flames and darkness ensued at every corner of my sight, while the rest of my summons and my tamed monsters massacred anything before their path!

Soon after, only a bare wasteland was left, and a lot of shiny items spread all around, I sighed in relief as I watched the results of my insane explosion of attacks.

Ding!

[You gained EXP]

[You gained EXP]

[You gained EXP]

[Your Level has increased to Level 36!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 37!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 38!]

[You gained Skill Points]

Level 38 already! Amazing. Two more levels for my next Job change.

As Kireina and everyone else quickly brought me the loot, which I quickly saved in my endless inventory, the earth began to shake!

BOOM!
