My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

The meat he bought was from a beast called Silver Cow. The Silver Cow was an Iron Grade-Iron Star 2-5 beast. They were being domesticated and their meat was the most abundant graded beast meat here in Serene City. A kilo of Silver Cow meat cost him 2 Gold Coins. Lucas bought a total of 30 kilograms. Although the grade and rank of the Silver Cow beast was not high, they were easy to find and could be suitable for daily sustenance. Lucas bought it exactly for that purpose. After paying 60 Gold Coins to Amara, Lucas left her store and carried the 30 kilograms of Silver Cow meat. For the current him, carrying 30 kilos of weight won't make him break a sweat even if he carried it for a few hours without pause. After leaving her store, Lucas decided not to linger in the open market area anymore and proceeded to the location of the Dwarf Swine. The Dwarf Swine's location was not that far from Serene City. Lucas had already studied the area around Serene City so he already knew where to go. After hailing a beast taxi and arriving outside of Serene City, Lucas followed the social path and proceeded toward the location. He arrived at the determined area after walking for thirty minutes. After seeing that no one was around, Lucas summoned Shadow and allowed him to hide under his collar after storing the thirty kilograms of Silver Cow meat. Since Shadow was there to save him if something goes awry, Lucas did not summon Spot for the time being. In this area, there could be no strong beast that might threaten his life directly anyway. Aside from Shadow being here, Lucas' self-preservation ability was also quite good already—courtesy to his fatty worm's inherited skill. Arriving at the area, Lucas quickly searched for a Dwarf Swine. According to the information he read from the book earlier, Dwarf Swine beass do not live in groups, and only during mating season can two or more be seen together. Since it was not the mating season yet, Lucas did not think that he would meet two Dwarf Swines together. The book contained almost all he had to know regarding the Dwarf Swines, including how to track them, and how to easily spot their tracks. After a while, Lucas finally found some tracks. However, upon a closer inspection, he realized that the tracks were no longer fresh. Lucas still decided to follow it, though, hoping that he would get lucky. Unfortunately, after following the tracks for a few minutes, he realized that there were other tracks following the same trail. Without having to guess, Lucas knew that there was already another group of summoners tracking the same beast. Lucas soon saw an area with traces of battle. The Dwarf Swine's tracks also stopped from there. Shaking his head in disappointment, Lucas searched for another track to follow. It did not take long for him to find one. This time, the tracks were very fresh and it could be seen that it had just been created around an hour ago at most. Lucas quickly followed the tracks without hesitation. After a while, Lucas finally saw the Dwarf Swine that he was searching for. From its size, he determined that it was already an adult. An Iron Grade-Iron Star 5 Dwarf Swine. With its prominent and sharp looking tusks, Lucas also determined that it was a male. The Dwarf Swine, as its name suggested, was quite a small boar. Of course, this was in comparison to other swine-type beasts. In terms of mundane standards, the Dwarf Swine could be considered quite big. The Dwarf Swine has dark skin with a brown sparsely spread hair. The Dwarf Swine also looked quite muscular. Its upper back in particular was quite muscular to the point that its muscle in that area has already protruded out of proportion from its body. While the Dwarf Swine did not notice him yet, Lucas decided to summon Spot in a secluded corner. The moment Spot appeared, he quickly looked around the area and assessed the situation out of habit. Lucas quickly filled him with the situation. Although Spot could not understand everything he said, Lucas still conveyed the situation very well to him so Spot should have understood it. Spot nodded his head and did not even try to bark, afraid of alerting the unsuspecting Dwarf Swine a few meters away. After seeing the target, Spot did not think too much about it and immediately ran toward it. As he ran forward, Lucas quickly noticed the difference. Unlike before, he could tell that although Spot was still running quickly, his movements and nimbleness had been drastically reduced. 'The side effect of the Ember Fang blood, huh.' This side effect would last for at least a week, depending on the beast. For others, this side effect was quite unacceptable as not all summoners had multiple beasts at their disposal. A week or two with their beast's combat ability and movements drastically reduced would be quite constraining for those kinds of summoners. And one must note that soaking the blood mixture was not a one time thing. So essentially, the side effect would not just last for a week or two. In fact, most of the summoner's who still decided to let their beast soak in the blood mixture were those who do not specialize in speed and agility. Shaking his head, Lucas ignored the rigidness of Spot's movements. Fortunately, he has contracted Shadow and the skill he obtained from the System was just apt for the situation. As Spot ran, the Dwarf Swine beast raised its head and turned toward the direction of Spot. Seeing that a small dog was madly running toward it, the Dwarf Swine beast snorted in displeasure. It turned its body to face Spot. Suddenly, the prominent muscles on its upper back lightly vibrated, as it charged toward Spot with great ferocity. Seeing that, Lucas quickly ordered Shadow to open a gate. Since he and Shadow had already practiced it multiple times before, Lucas was already quite familiar with the skill. Spot had not gone that far when a portal opened in front of him. Even though it could not be seen easily, with Lucas' instruction and after seeing Shadow cast it multiple times before, Spot has also grown familiar toward the Void Opener skill. Understanding Lucas and Shadow's intention, Spot quickly leapt forward and entere the opened void gate. As he did so, his size quickly changed into something massive. Hellhound Manifestation! His massive body slowly disappeared as he entered the gate. At the same moment, an 'exit' gate was also summoned right above the running Dwarf Swine. Before the Dwarf Swine could react, Spot, in his Hellhound Manifestation form, swung his Sharp Claws down with a massive force. Even though he appeared rigid before, in his Hellhound Manifestation form, such side effects seemed to be nonexistent. Splat! Due to the force and sharpness of Spot's Sharp Claw, he actually cleaved right through the Dwarf Swine's head as if it were tofu. The Dwarf Swine's body continued to move and skid forward. A trail of blood was left behind its wake, and when the swine's body stopped skidding and fell to the ground with a thud, its head rolled over beside it as well. Mission: Kill an adult Dwarf Swine beast, completed! Seeing the result and the battle that seemed effortless, Lucas could not help but grin. This time, he did not even summon and let Tony use his Unhindered Stealth skill and the result was already this terrifying. If Tony was taken into account, Lucas did not think anyone would be able to avoid their ambush if they ever did so. The combination of the two was already quite lethal, how much more if he added another one. Just imagine a dangerous beast appearing right in front of you out of thin air, and that beast was also invisible. He just did not think that there was a way anyone could defend against the combination of his three summons combo attack. Feeling happy that his strength had increased once more, Lucas quickly went to inspect the Dwarf Swine beast. According to the book, he must let the blood of the Dwarf Swine beast flow out quickly after it was killed to prevent it from damaging the taste of the meat. Since the Dwarf Swine's head was already decapitated away from its body, a lot of blood has already flowed out of it even before Lucas arrived in front of it. However, just to be said, Lucas still decided to hang the beast upside down and let the blood flow out of it even more. While it was still dripping with blood, Lucas stored its head inside Shadow's Extra Space. At the same time, Lucas quickly calculated the gains he would acquire after selling it to Amara. "Hmm? It could actually be sold for that much?"
