Chapter 55: A succinct introduction

I looked at the rotating hexagonal prism in the blank room as I could feel my heart that wasn't physically in this space start pounding. I heard the bland voice that called out the greeting in my head as I looked away from the smaller three rooms and replied, "What, err, who are you and where am I?"

[I am...well, that is not consequential at the moment. You are in an isolated space where we can converse for the next minute. There is still a matter you have to finish before we can start the next phase of plans]

I absorbed the words ringing out as I thought and asked, "What matter do I have to take care of first?"

[The being plaguing the lands you call the United Federation. Its death would spell the dissolution of the enemy's plans, the regaining of control, and the beginning of our retaliation]

Enemies? Retaliation? My non existent heart was beating rapidly as I thought about all of this and asked one more thing before the scene in front of me disappeared. "Why did you pull me into this space?"

The voice was quiet for a second before the static reply came out, [Besides telling you of the next direction you need to hurry to, it is to prepare you for the addition to the system of power that will occur with the death of the last major beast. You hold the most essence currently, so you will be the most affected. The next point to keep in mind is that the real fight will not be fought here, do not become complacent because of the level of strength of your current enemies.]

The words rang out clearly, and I could even feel a semblance of emotion from the static tone near the end. I was about to speak once more but the scene began fading from my sight. The voice rang out for the last time

[Be sure to save the reckless child]

I opened my eyes once more, this time finding myself on the skies of the battlefield. The ground beneath me was still filled with thick smoke and burning rocks, with much of the beast horde decimated

I placed my hand on my chest to feel my actual body as I recalled the sensation of not having any limbs or body in the blank space a moment ago. I had to wrap up and hurry to the United Federation to take down another one of these beasts, and after that...I should be able to get more answers

Retaliation...my blood felt like it was boiling as I thought of the possibility of getting back against the enemies that tormented us so much. To get there though, there was still another beast to take care of!

Before finishing the battle and cleaning up the thousands of beasts that were now without a leader, I pulled out the skill book I placed in my ring and read the description

The skill was [Summon Virulent Abomination- A horrid monstrosity that only leaves destruction at its wake stands by your side]

The skill was one of the very few summon skills I had come across, and I was excited to see just what type of beast would come out of a rank S skill.

I looked to the thousands of panicking beasts below me as I watched the golden skill book become absorbed into my body and I casted [Summon Virulent Abomination] for the first time

A large malachite runic circle appeared and began expanding in the sky, releasing a flash of blinding green light as a terrible beast appeared.

It had a thick layer of visible muscles wrapping all over its large body. Dark green wings that looked similarly to a bat ruptured out of its back as pus leaked out.

It looked like a very muscly, fat, and bloated humanoid that was more than five meters large. It stood imposingly in the air, the large and grotesque wings keeping it afloat as it howled out

ROAR!

The thundering shout that seemed to scream an arrival blasted throughout the battlefield. I looked at this piece of work as I let out a command in my thoughts, and the beast disappeared from my sight

It had reached the groups of beasts on the ground in an instant, its large wings leaving gusts of wind and rotten smell.

BOOM!

It landed with a tremendous impact that bloodied all the beast nearby as it continued moving at a speed even faster than my current speed while using [Flight].

It jumped into the middle of the next group of thousands of beasts as its body contracted...before an eruption of toxic green gas pervedaded outwards for an area of more than ten meters, melting away anything standing into puddles of pus no matter what rank they were

The grotesque summon continued to move across the battlefield unhindered as it ripped apart any groups of monsters standing in its way. It was so fast and efficient that the clear rate I had when taking down beasts before then could not even compare

It didn't matter if the beasts were rank C or A, when its noxious gas spread out from its body or it spun around using its wings as blades, everything fell down

I looked at this horrible beast as it spread its terror across the battlefield and...I wanted another one.

I was shocked at the power and strength of these two rank S skills I had just gained. The first one caused a literal f.u.c.k.i.n.g volcanic eruption that decimated anything within an area of twenty five meters, and this lovable poisonous summon continued to rip apart any monsters it came across as if they were paper

I could only summon one, but my heart was palpitating at the idea of summoning things just as terrifying and just watching them do all the work

I shook myself out of my dreams as I flew down towards the defense line where the hunters were still taking care of the remaining beasts and lent my aid. When I was close enough to the ground I could hear the shouts of cheering and happiness as skills continued to fly in the air

A woman on a black eagle had the brightest smile on her face as the beast she stood on flew down to help the hunters below.

A man whose body coiled with lightning was swinging around a large hammer as boisterous laughs came out from him

I looked at all of this as I rained down more skills to take care of any remaining stragglers near the defense line as I let my newly gained summon continue its rampage behind us on the beasts that were currently running away

It was decimating them with such ease that I wondered how it would fare if we fought against another one of these rank S beasts right now.

I didn't have too much time on hand, so after I saw the crowds of monsters thinning out and the hunters below breathing easy, I went towards Elizabeth to relay a message.

I couldn't afford to revel in the victory right now, and had to begin rushing to the United Federation in an instant

I was wondering about this reckless hunter that gained the recognition of whoever that being was and whether they had anything closely similar to my power.
