Chapter 314: Summoner VS Summoner

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thump!

Milk Dipper Solitary has not been dead for long when Hostile Mutilation collapsed to the ground after his HP swiftly reduced to zero.

He had consumed a poison called Zombie Potion. His body would enter into a 25-second invincibility state upon consumption. Skills, apart from normal attacks would be disabled during this time and once the 25 seconds were over, he would die of poison.

Arthur’s underling attempted to save Hostile Mutilation with Resurrection but failed. Death by Zombie Potion could not be resurrected, nor could they run their corpse. A life for a death. Only a Level 90 Light Priest’s Major Purification could cleanse the poison.

Hostile Mutilation chose to temple respawn, causing him to drop by 1 Level.

“Hahaha, good job!” Arthur finally broke into nervous laughter.

Hostile Mutilation did not return, nor was he going to stick around for the ongoing struggle. He logged off at the temple.

It was not that he refused to return, rather, many went to camp outside knowing he respawned at the temple. If he dared to step his foot out, he would be knocked down.

This ass-busting Thief had made a lot of enemies.

“Dark Wing, let’s begin the last battle.”

Arthur gained some confidence after winning the second round. He immediately signed off Alex’s name, ticking the name before handing the Challenge Scroll to Li Yi.

Alex was the person who agreed to dispatch Hostile Mutilation. If it were not for him, Arthur would not consider sending Hostile Mutilation.

Alex who had long fiery red hair, played a Dwarf. His white robe which draped over his body, extended all the way to the floor. His class was rare, it was similar to Pretty Good Mood, the commander of Little Drunk Cat. He was a Contract Summoner!

Curse Priest, Shooting Vagabond, and Contract Summoner were three classes which players deemed the Useless Trio for a long time.

Though useless, there were still experts amongst the Useless Trio classes and Alex was one of them. He too became one of the God-tier players at the later stages of Pantheon.

However, he was not the most famous summoner. Instead, a White Elf chick by the name of Pale Blue Elegance rose to fame overnight after building a contract with Dragon of Windstorms, a Level 90 dungeon boss through four years of sheer determination.

They were different from the captured pets of Archers whose abilities would decrease after capture. Pets seized by Contract Summoners maintained their abilities as they had in the wild. Dragon of Windstorms whose HP peaked as high as 100,000,000, could kill thousands with one Windstorm Breath. Pale Blue Elegance was a legend. There were more than one Dragon of Windstorms in the game but apart from her, there were no other players who owned a Dragon of Windstorms.

Pale Blue Elegance was an Eastern Continent player and from the day she commanded Dragon of Windstorms, she was hailed as the strongest summoner. She herself could not care less of this title but other summoners did not see it the same way.

The No. 1 Summoner expert of the Southern Continent, Alex did not acknowledge her title.

Alex sought after Pale Blue Elegance to battle it out. In the end, it was Alex who, without a Dragon of Windstorms emerged victorious, bringing forth five wins over Pale Blue Elegance. He snatched the strongest summoner title away from her.

Li Yi smiled and did not respond.

The screeching sound of an eagle echoed in the sky. Chen Yang rode a horned griffin and landed on the dragon’s skull.

Li Yi signed off Chen Yang’s game ID before ticking and tossing the Challenge Scroll back. For the third round, he decided upon Chen Yang for the duel.

“Natural Summoner?”

Arthur was gobsmacked for a moment before bursting into a roar of laughter.

It was not only Arthur who chuckled, but the players beneath the dragon bones also joined in too.

Compared to other classes, a Natural Summoner was not a useless class but it was still mediocre. Low ATK, high HP to toughen it out but short range put them in a disadvantage against players fond of guerrillas attacks.

“So, you’re looking down on me?”

Chen Yang curled his lips into a smile, waving his hand to below the dragon bones, provoking shrieks from a bunch of Orc chicks.

Although Chen Yang was lacking in appearance, he was quite popular, especially amongst girls playing Orcs. He often would carry Orc girls to grind levels. There were even a few Orc girls who went after him on their own accord and wanting to repay him with their own bodies.

Of course, Chen Yang has nothing but pure intentions for these Orc girls. As to why he often rendezvoused in bed with them? He just found it hard to reject them.

Alex smiled as he raised the staff in his hand, summoning his summoned beast.

With a fiery red exterior and shaped similar to a crocodile, Alex’s summoned beast was Fire Lord Galaxite!

Galaxite was a Level 20 wild boss. It could be found everywhere in the four continents but Galaxite was not an easy boss to defeat. Hence, not many would go after it even if they were at the same level. They would rather wait until they were a few levels higher before attempting to beat it.

Galaxite summoned by Alex had HP as high as 300,000, exactly the same as when it was a boss in the wild. It was not as though he did not want to level up his pet but a Boss-level pet that was taken in by a contracted summon could not be upgraded. It remained as it was when it was captured.

Seeing Galaxite, Chen Yang froze in terror. He turned to glance at Li Yi. Anyone could tell that this Fatty was growing apprehensive.

“Don’t worry, you can do it. Nobody but you can defeat him. You’re his only weakness.”

“Brother Yi, are you sure?”

“Are you afraid of losing?”

“Nope, but I’m afraid of you losing.”

“Just go according to what I have taught you.”

“Er...”

Chen Yang was private-messaging Li Yi as he walked up to the arena, breaking out in cold sweat. He raised the staff in his hand and summoned a hot-tempered Fire Elf.

Li Yi gave him a Tier 1 Equipment set and since then, Fatty improved drastically and stepped into the ranks of top players. The Fire Elf he summoned has quite high HP, up to 30,000. It was still a long way from Galaxite but stood higher than main tank classes of the same level.

Alex did not wear a Tier 1 equipment set but donned a body of purple-colored equipment. His attributes would already place him higher than Chen Yang.

“All in on Alex to win!”

Arthur placed a bet in Southern Continent’s biggest banker.

“The odds are 1: 0.2, you sure?”

The odds of 1: 0.2 odds meant that a bet of 10,000 Gold Coins would see only 2,000 Gold Coins in return. However, if it was a loss, all 10,000 Gold Coins would be gone.

“30 million cash as well as funds that can be withdrawn from the guild. All in!” There was confidence in Arthur’s tone.

He had high hopes for Alex. Before he and Alex were acquainted, Arthur had battled with him a few times and he lost every single time.

Arthur had even asked Alex if he was a closed beta player. The result left him flabbergasted as not only was Alex not a closed beta player, he never came in contact with online games prior to playing King of Pantheon.

Maniac, genius, mad dog, stubborn ass... This was what Arthur thought of Alex.

For the sake of contracting a boss pet, he could keep going day and night and would not stop until he reached his goal. For the sake of a rare skill tome, he camped out a boss for more than a year. During this period, he would not do anything else nor engage with anyone. He focused solely on doing one thing.

For someone with strong willpower, contracting a Boss-level pet did not come as a surprise.

The shady banker beneath the dragon bones was at it again. This time, the numbers on people betting on Alex surpassed Chen Yang by a huge margin. It could be seen from the odds that it would take 5 Chen Yang to go against 1 Alex.

“10 million cash, including funds that could be withdrawn from Shattered Frost City’s coffers! All in!” Li Yi was in high spirits. Who would miss out on a 1 against 5 odd?

Li Yi did not just place the bets by himself, he even called all his friends to bet. He spread this message over in the world channel to call all players to bet with him.

“What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to win some money? Let’s bankrupt the banker!”

Following Li Yi’s urging, many players immediately switched targets and bet on Chen Yang to win. Among them was the most generous buyer, Brother Windcloud Nine.

Brother Windcloud Nine betted a hundred million during Li Yi and Arthur’s first fight. Although the odds were pretty low, he still earned 50 million. He betted 20 million on Milk Dipper Solitary in the second round but that tanked. He was thinking who to bet next when he saw Li Yi’s hollers in the world channel, filling him with raging emotions.

“200 million Gold Coins on Tall and Mighty to win!”

That set the record for the largest bet placed in King of Pantheon.

Alex’s face sunk. He saw the messages posted by Li Yi in the world channel. He could also hear the crowd beneath the dragon bones yelling to bet on Tall and Mighty.

Tall and Mighty, second in command of the Little Drunk Cat Guild. He had quite a mouth on him. His PK and commanding abilities were found to be mediocre. He was quite popular and has ambiguous relationships with at least ten female Orc players.

This was the intel on Chen Yang prepared by Arthur for Alex. He was able to calm himself down then.

“Go!”

Alex pointed his staff at Chen Yang. Galaxite roared at the top of its lungs before spewing a fireball at Chen Yang.

“Go, Fire Elf!”

Chen Yang too made his move. He did not use Fire Elf against Galaxite, instead, it went to attack Alex.

A Summoner possessed no ATK abilities. The only attack move they had was called Soul Staff Technique, with a shooting range of 30 yards. Even with 2,000 INT, the damage dealt on target would only be around 100.

Soul Staff Technique was the most useless skill in King of Pantheon.

Summoned beasts were all of a Summoner’s fighting force. Summoned beasts may be powerful but that did not mean the same for the attributes of a Summoner.

Chen Yang was at Level 58 with 3,900 HP while Alex was at Level 60, with 4,100 HP.

Forget the pet, it was all about attacking the owner!

This was what Chen Yang and Alex thought.

Fire Elf was running slow, its SPD was similar to a regular player walking while on the other hand, Galaxite was speeding down and in a blink of an eye, it was taking a bite out of Chen Yang.

Tst—

Flames were dancing beneath Chen Yang’s feet and engulfed his entire body. Galaxite’s ATK had a burning element. Fatty unlucky, coming in contact with it at first strike.

-50 damage ticks were blinking on top of his head. Although the HP reduced was not much, Chen Yang would not be able to stay alive for long if it kept up. He immediately fled with Dwarf’s innate ability, Instant Slip-Away.

“Statue Mode!” Chen Yang became a short little statue, removing that scorching effect off him.

On the other side, Fire Elf has caught up to Alex and threw a Fire Fist on him.

“Wham!”
