Chapter 36: Is This Pet Something a Player Can Summon?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ding! You have entered the Nightmare Dungeon [Valley of the Dead]!”
The notification sound pulled back their thoughts.
Lorne looked over and saw the scene resembling the Dark Abyss. All traces of the battle had disappeared, and everything had changed.
The sky and ground were pitch-black. The white trees were like weathered bones. The poisonous pool on the ground was bubbling, and rotting corpses floated above.
Seeing this, Twinkle Rose and the others silently reduced their sense of smell and followed behind Lorne.
On a hill not far ahead, a large number of monsters appeared. They were undead that had been awakened and were currently wandering aimlessly with heavy swords in their hands.
“It’s different from the Hard Dungeon.”
At the side, Twinkle Rose explained, “The Hard Dungeon requires us to stay in one area and resist the attacks of the monsters. There are a total of ten waves. After killing one wave of monsters, you can obtain 10% of the dungeon’s progress.”
What appeared in front of them was the dark creatures’ base. The way to explore the dungeon was to destroy all the monster camps. It was different from guarding the base.
However, Twinkle Rose knew the characteristics of the monsters ahead. She cautiously unsheathed her sword and said, “Those monsters are Undead Swordsmen. They have high attack power and can use [Sword Charge]. Everyone should pay attention to where they stand, especially you.”
At the end, Twinkle Rose glanced at Super Rich.
Super Rich felt deep malice, but he could not refute it, because his strength was indeed very poor. He might really be killed by an unknown attack in the chaotic battle.
As the beautiful guild leader spoke, Lorne also looked at the attributes of the monsters.

[Undead Swordsman]
Quality: Elite
Level: 10
HP: 1600 / 1600
Physical Attack: 120-150
Defense: 50
Skills: [Heavy Sword Slash], [Sword Charge], [Undead Body], [Berserk Blood]
Introduction: The soldiers who died during the war were reawakened by the evil forces and became terrifying undead. They wandered aimlessly in the valley, resisting all intruders.
————
Even the guards were elite monsters. The Nightmare Dungeon was indeed special.
Moreover, a level 10 elite monster actually had four skills. It was really shocking.
Especially the last two skills, they made the teammates behind Lorne feel fear.
[Undead Body] made it immune to 10% of damage.
[Berserk Blood] increased attack speed by 10-25% and also gave the life leech effect. The lower the health, the higher the buff of this skill.
This kind of monster got stronger and stronger as they fought. It required a lot of skill for the players. If they were not careful, they might be wiped out.
The members could not help but look at Lorne. They all wanted to know what his pets were like.
But at that moment, Twinkle Rose and the others rubbed their eyes in shock.
After Lorne waved his staff, a huge summoning array appeared. In the light, there was a huge bull-headed monster with an axe in its hand and a humanoid monster that looked like a mech. It had two extremely long sickle arms and looked very technological.
“Could that really be a robot?”
Although they were mentally prepared, what Twinkle Rose saw still exceeded her expectations.
One of the knight players in the team almost had his eyes pop out. He was clearly shocked by this scene.
At this moment, the light dissipated, and a powerful minotaur monster appeared before everyone’s eyes. Last night, the Giant Axe Minotaur had appeared before everyone, so everyone could understand.
However, the other Death Scythe Mantis had refreshed everyone’s world view. Its metal shell and sickle-like arms were already astonishing enough, but the most strange thing was its way of moving. It could stand on two legs. It was unbelievable!
“Is this pet something a player can summon?” Several players had such questions.
At that moment, Lorne gave the order to attack. The Death Scythe Mantis collided with a monster.
The undead swordsman also roared. The animosity between a monster and a pet was triggered even from a distance.
It charged forward angrily, the heavy sword in its hand raised high.
However, before it could attack, the Death Scythe Mantis attacked first. Its two sharp blades waved quickly, and several reflected lights instantly blossomed in the air.
[Continuous Slash]!

A series of damage values appeared, dealing 1405 points of damage. With one more attack, he could directly kill this elite monster in front of him.
Clang!
The undead swordsman’s greatsword also struck the body of the Death Scythe Mantis, but the blade only dealt 9 points of damage, as if striking metal.
Clearly, the monster’s damage did not break through its defense.
The Dead Scythe Mantis’s defense was as high as 175 points. It was impossible to break such a defense with just the attack of the undead swordsman.
When the axe of the Giant Axe Minotaur fell, the entire skeleton of the undead swordsman was torn apart, turning into a pile of powder that was blown by the wind.
The entire battle took less than two seconds.
From behind, Twinkle Rose stared in shock at the battle. The undead swordsman, who she had thought to be so powerful, had been slain in a single breath?
How was this possible!
The teammates behind her also looked ahead in shock.
Only ‘Super Rich’ glanced at everyone mockingly, as if saying, ‘See? If you don’t believe in our leader, it’s because you’re shortsighted.’
While everyone was stunned, Lorne was lost in thought.
He wondered if he should create another pet.
The Undead Swordsman was an elite monster with excellent attributes. If he were to use the ‘Blood-soaked Rusted Iron Sword’ in his bag to fuse it, he believed that the final monster would be extremely powerful.
There were also the Undead Heart and the Unknown Light Bone. They seemed to be suitable for the undead creatures.
However, there was only one set of these materials!
If he used it too early, there would be no suitable materials when he encountered rare undead creatures.
With that in mind, he put aside his thoughts and followed his pets deeper into the valley.
