Chapter 14: Chapter14-Summon, Goblin Swordmaster!
"Awooo—"
Piercing howls of agony resonated as the Bronze-ranked Grey Dogs were engulfed in flames.
Under the effects of the Scorching Beam, they began to combust from the inside.
Supported by their almost unbending will to live, time, however, was not on their side.
They were destined to be consumed by the fire, reduced to mere ashes on the ground.
In the midst of this, the Silver Grey Dog King, with its wisdom stat reaching 10, exhibited eyes filled with astonishment.
It clearly hadn't anticipated that the human before it would be so formidable, far surpassing any other humans it had encountered.
What was even more unbelievable was that its revered Dog King Mighty, which made all the other dogs bow before it, seemed to have no effect on this human.
What the Grey Dog King didn't know was that Harrison possessed a treasured artifact called the Soul Cube, rendering him immune to all soul attacks.
Thus, in his presence, the much-touted Dog King Mighty was rendered insignificant.
Under Harrison's Scorching Beam, the monstrous Grey Dogs were one by one reduced to ashes.
Yet, just before one vanished, it unexpectedly burst into a brilliant white light.
As the light gradually faded, it revealed a uniquely designed dagger.
"An equipment drop?" Harrison's face lit up with delight.
For him, there could never be too much gear.
However, recalling that he had only obtained two pieces of equipment in this Red Mist game thus far, he couldn't help but grumble about the game's drop rate.
For an average player, such a drop rate was truly hard to stomach.
Witnessing all its underlings obliterated, the Grey Dog King leapt off the statue, landing soundlessly on the ground.
Harrison took a deep breath, every nerve taut.
From what he remembered, this Grey Dog King's combat wisdom and strategy surpassed even that vexing Skeleton General.
The Grey Dog King before him was craftier.
Its piercing gaze locked onto Harrison, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
And in that instant, the Grey Dog King lunged.
Harrison reacted swiftly, aiming his beam at the Grey Dog King's vulnerable belly.
The dog deftly twisted mid-air, yet the residual heat of the beam still grazed its stomach.
"Awooo—"
It let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The portion of its belly that had been scorched, where once resilient fur lay, now emitted wisps of smoke.
The Grey Dog King rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the burning flames.
But Harrison allowed it no reprieve.
Another, even more intense Scorching Beam enveloped the Grey Dog King.
Lost amidst this inferno, the pain nearly immobilized it.
It wasn't long before the once formidable Grey Dog King began to combust from within.
The flames licked every inch of its skin, and the agony was nearly unbearable.
The Grey Dog King's final cry echoed through the air.
Soon after, a golden radiance burst from its form, merging directly into Harrison.
He had leveled up!
Yet, from the ashes of the Grey Dog King, no items emerged.
At that moment, the system's voice whispered in Harrison's ear.
"Congratulations on leveling up."
"You have reached level 20. Your second talent, [Supreme Summoning], has been unlocked!"
A flicker of emotion passed through Harrison's eyes.
At last, level 20.
Supreme Summoning.
He wondered what surprises this SSS-level talent would bring him.
Harrison took a deep breath, focusing his inner will.
"Summon Goblin!"
In an instant, Fountain Square was enveloped in a blinding brilliance, as if daylight had shattered the night, rendering everything as luminous as midday.
The ground trembled, as though a mysterious power was amassing.
Soon, a vast summoning magic array etched itself onto the ground, each rune shimmering with a cryptic golden glow.
As the magic array took form, a silhouette began to emerge from within.
With the silhouette's appearance, a mystical melody seemed to flow through the air: "Who has awakened me?"
As the dazzling light gradually faded, Harrison finally beheld the true form of the summoned goblin.
He did not have the typical emerald green skin of a common goblin.
Instead, his skin radiated a profound shade of red, reminiscent of flames within molten lava.
Upon this crimson canvas, dark magic patterns as vast as the night sky sprawled; each pattern subtly twinkling, as if narrating an age-old myth.
This goblin appeared to have been blessed by some divine power.
He donned a resplendent golden armor which contrasted starkly against his fiery red skin.
On his back, a weighty greatsword, its fierce aura seemingly poised to tear everything in its path, evoking the image of a wrathful dragon spreading its wings.
Then, the attributes of this goblin revealed themselves before Harrison's eyes.
