My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 103 Plans And Schemes



The cold fog enveloping him dissipated as Lucas emerged out of the Boundary Fog.

The shivers caused by the cold fog lingered over him for a bit, but his mind and body returned to calmness as he saw Asher and the bird beast battling in the distance.

At first, Lucas truly had no intention of being embraced by the terrifying Boundary Fog once again. Although he harbored some speculations about its effect, they were still just mere speculations he had made after one experience, and he has no concrete evidence to support his claims.

To him, the Boundary fog represents mysteries and the unknown. Though the researchers and scholars had been constantly delving deep into their understandings of the dungeons, the mysteries of the Boundary Fog were something they had not uncovered yet, at least none that he was aware of.

If not for the pressing matter at hand, Lucas would have not dared to let the fog envelope him willingly.

It was just that for the sake of his plans—to have a plan B—he could only endure.

Now that he had resolved to take action on Asher, Lucas knew that he could not do it halfheartedly. Allowing himself to be embraced by the Boundary Fog was just a contingency that he did not even know if it would fully work.

In any case, he hoped that if he somehow failed with his plan, the dungeon would be able to send him out earlier than expected after being embraced by the fog for more than thirty minutes. If not, then he could only hope that he succeeds with his plan.

He was also not idle when the Boundary Fog tentacles embraced him. At that time, he also tried to recover as much Spiritual Energy as possible. However, due to his fear toward the fog, he was not able to concentrate in his meditation, and his total Spiritual Energy has only reached thirty-five—including what was left from before—after he emerged from the fog.

His meditation allowed him to recover less than twenty Spiritual Energy but Lucas knew that this was more than enough.

He went out of the Boundary Fog as he did not dare enter it for too long, and besides, Asher and the bird beast's battle had already reached the area where he was meditating.

At this moment, the Mirage Worm was already summoned back inside the grimoire to let it rest for a little bit.

Seeing the battle in the distance, Lucas inwardly cursed, feeling just how powerful Asher and that vine were.

At this moment, Asher fought along with his vines.

He waved his hands in the air akin to a mage in the books he had read before. Wherever he waved, vines would rise to either shield or assault the bird beast.

Although Lucas knew that this was the skill of the vine beast itself, he still could not help but marvel at Asher's strength, but in truth, he knew that it was the vine itself that was terrifying.

As if feeling his gaze, Asher turned to look at him.

"Help me kill this one, or else the both of us will truly perish inside this dungeon!"Asher shouted, his voice sounding a little desperate.

At this point, he was truly in a desperate situation. However, his plea was still to deceive Lucas. His plan was to lure him over, or at least, keep him at bay so that he would not lose sight of him once more.

The disappearing skill Lucas showed before was indeed extraordinary. Even the perception of his Verdant Bloom Vine was obscured and would not be able to detect him.

Hearing his plea, Lucas remained unmoved and merely observed with a still.

He was not a fool and would not believe in such schemes.

Looking at the battle, one of the two would perish sooner or later.

The two of them were already grievously injured, so no matter which of the two died, it was a great outcome for Lucas. He hoped that Asher would be killed by the beast, though, but from the looks of it, it seems that the bird beast would perish first.

The vine beast was actually very strong.

Lucas kept a safe distance while he observed the battle in silence.

Asher had tried to lead the battle toward him multiple times, but the cautious Lucas did not simply sit idly and would also move away after seeing through Asher's intention.

With that, Asher could only curse, as he vowed to rip Lucas to a thousand pieces after he was done dealing with the persistent bird beast.

Speaking of the bird beast, it was truly persistent.

Asher was able to tell that it was of a lower rank compared to his Verdant Bloom Vine, but its grade was a little higher. With their injuries, it was extremely hard to slay it in a short period of time, and with his caution toward the goat beast that might enter at any given moment, Asher did not want to spend all his energy with the bird beast, at least not until he killed Lucas.

The most troublesome aspect of the bird beast was its speed and its tough body. Even after a few strikes, it was still able to stand up and assault Asher with powerful blows.

It was fortunate that it doesn't have any elemental skills; otherwise, there was a high chance that the bird beast would be able to defeat him and his Verdant Bloom Vine.

At this moment, Asher was also biding his time.

As he battled, the Verdant Bloom Vine kept on healing his injuries.

The twenty-four limit was far from over; he did not believe that he would not be able to recover his strength and kill the bird beast within twenty-four hours.

What he relied on the most was also his Verdant Bloom Vine.

After being helped by that person, his Verdant Bloom Vine was no longer an ordinary vine that it once was.

As he bided his time, his only concern was Lucas and the goat beast outside.

He was afraid that the goat beast would come inside all of a sudden, and he was also afraid that Lucas would sneak out of the gate and get himself killed by the goat beast that was waiting outside.

Although Lucas' death was what he desired the most at this moment, he still preferred doing it himself.

Hence, he kept an eye on Lucas.

When he saw that Lucas moved closer to the safe area, he intercepted and brought the battle to make him stop, not allowing him to leave.

Meanwhile, as he observed the battle for a longer time, Lucas realized that something was amiss.

'Damn it! Why is that bastard getting more and more energetic?'

Although the battle still seemed fierce and chaotic, Lucas was able to observe that Asher was dominating the tempo of the battle. His movements were calculated, and the bird beast was no longer able to hit him with lethal strikes, even when it used multiple skills to bombard Asher.

'Is he recovering?'

As he thought of that, a shiver could not help but rush through Lucas' veins.

Although he knew that the bird beast's death was inevitable, he did not want it to happen like this.

At least he wanted the two of them to go with the mutual destruction path, with one side losing and one side winning with just a slight margin.

However, with how things were developing, Asher would soon emerge victorious with a clear advantage.

'No, this can't happen. I need to do something,' Lucas immediately set his plans to motion.

Although this was not the perfect time to strike yet, he knew that he must do something to disrupt the situation.

Summoning his grimoire, Lucas pressed his hands on the second page and third page simultaneously as he summoned Spot and the Mirage Worm one after the other.

Seeing his actions, instead of being alarmed, Asher instead felt a little elated inside.

At least, harboring thoughts of attacking, Lucas would not leave. He only needs a little bit more time; his Spiritual Energy would be able to recover a little bit, and he would then be able to use his charge skill to move toward Lucas and kill him directly.

The bird beast in front of him was also about to die; however, to avoid startling the prey that was Lucas, he planned to seize the opportunity to kill the prey itself before dealing with the bait.

Asher raised his hands wrapped in vines to block the beak of the bird beast. The force sent him flying a few meters away, his arms shaking from the impact, but Asher stood his ground and was able to recover his footing after a few steps.

Steadying his ground, his body was enveloped by a soft light, sending warm torrents of healing energy all over his body, his Spiritual Energy recovering by a small margin.

As he felt the Spiritual Energy entering his body, Asher could not help but smile unconsciously.

Finally enough!

The bird beast flapped its wing and lunged toward him with extreme speed.

However, Asher did not pay it any attention, merely raising his palm as if intending to block the incoming strike with such a pose. His head, though, had turned to where Lucas was just standing earlier.

There, he saw Lucas staring at him with a worry and frown on his face. Even from afar, Asher could tell that the brat was nervous.

And he should be!

Just as Asher was about to use his charge skill to charge toward Lucas, he suddenly noticed something different.

Something was missing!

A moment later, Asher realized what was missing, but it was already too late.

'WHERE ARE HIS BEASTS!?'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

All of a sudden, he felt a shocking might descending toward him.
