Reincarnated With A Summoning System

Chapter 103 - 103

Cain calls all the rest of the summons the moment he enters the dungeon and the party forms ranks behind him.

"Impressive Summoned Army." Ghaz nods, petting the head of a Lamia.

"For the new arrivals, we're going to be here all day. We've got an experience buff in effect and want to get close to level 80 before it wears off." Cain explains and they nod. Limited time group experience buffs come up as system quest rewards now and then.

5 levels seems insane, but the Dwarven Earth Mages have called nearly 2 dozen small Earth Golems to bolster their numbers, so it might be possible. If not in one day, over the next few days.

This won't be an easy day though. The demons are all level 90 and epic quality. Cain records the forms for the first batch, all new to him, and sends forth the Wrath Bringers to get things started.

Even with all the buffs they get from the party, the Wrath Bringers have a hard time going toe to toe with these demons, being staggered by their blows and sometimes even knocked back. On the other hand, The Mages are all enjoying the fight immensely, the abundance of mana Totems lets them spam their best damage abilities over and over without running out of mana or using potions.

The fight is like pulling five boss monsters at once, it takes them nearly ten minutes to eliminate the single group, but they've almost done it when a patrol catches sight of them.

"Finish the first group. I'll send tanks to hold the others for now." Cain calls, diverting four of the eight Wrath Bringers to deal with the four Succubus patrol.

Their whips are beyond troublesome, sneaking past the tanks every few strikes to snap at party members. Even the webs of the Bodyguard spiders barely slow them before being torn apart. They're not as poison resistant as the first group though, and the damage is building up, bringing them down in short order.

"The experience here is amazing. How big did you say that experience bonus was?" Ghaz asks between swings of his two handed axe.

"Not sure. Bonus just said greatly increases party experience gained." Cain calls back, putting more Arrows into a dying Demon. That's the description he saw on a quest reward offered by the Hall, so it should be a believable cover story.

"Will, I'm glad you let us come along. I've already leveled up once. Didn't think I'd get there for a few weeks yet." Morgan laughs.

"You hear that Nathaniel? You woman is getting strong to take care of her Healer." Cixelcid teases, causing Nathaniel to release a long suffering sigh.

There's no time to retort though, they've attracted another group and the Clerics have their hands full with an area damage fire spell.

Every Demon they meet here is entirely new to Cain's record, adding to the total count for Vala's next upgrade, but many aren't Golem Forms he can use. Instead they're listed as [Commander] or [Epic] type Golem summons. A few of the very strongest even came up as [Demon Noble] types and Cain has no idea what ability will be able to use them.

At level 80 he's supposed to get an upgrade to his Supporters, so maybe level 90 or 100 he will get access to new classes of Golems?

As the day wears on and the day inside the dungeon starts to fade to night, Cain has managed to find 223 out of the 250 Demon types needed to upgrade Vala. But it's time to go, they've had two meals in the dungeon already and everyone is exhausted. Just a few packs and they'll be back at the exit.

But the Demon Raid isn't going to let them leave so easily. From the shadows near the gate an Incubus Night Stalker watches their approach, noting how the archer in an Incubus leather jacket gives the orders. If he can take that one out with a single strike it should break the group.

The massive raiding party has started fighting the final group of Elite Gatekeepers, a form of Balrog with strong defensive magical skills. As he watches and waits a flame circle hits the group, surely doing heavy damage. That's his cue. The Night Stalker isn't a durable Demon, he's likely to only get one chance at this before they kill him, but he's going to make his sacrifice worth it.

[Critical Strike]

[Back Attack Bonus]

[Ignore Armor]

716 Damage Dealt.

The strike brings Cain to his knees and he fires a multi shot of lightning Arrows in desperation. As the Arrows hit his attacker, webs fired by the Dread Spiders cocoon the Demon and Cain records the new form out of habit.

[Warning 23hp remaining] flashes across his screen before the healing ticks and then the spells start flooding in.

"Something almost brought Cain down in one strike? How is that even possible?" Kone gasps.

"Well, he is a ranged class." Morgan shrugs, used to surprise attacks dealing heavy damage.

"No, you don't understand, he's got like 800 hit points." Kone says and everyone except the summons stops what they're doing to look at her.

"He's got what now?" Shovel Face asks.

"She's right, that hit did over 700 damage. I don't know what sort of Demon that was, but I hope we never see one again." Cain says, getting to his feet.

He checks his logs to see what it was

[Legendary Supporter Recorded: Incubus Night Stalker]

"My identification skill says it was a Legendary quality Demon. I've never seen one, but I don't think they're going to be a regular thing. We will have to do a better job of our lookout though, I would hate to lose anyone.

With that they hurry out into Graska, not relaxing until Cain exits, making that everyone out safely.

The spiders are all over him, as if apologizing profusely and he pats their heads in consolation. "Not your fault, you can't intercept every attack."

It doesn't seem to reassure them, but Cain dismisses them anyhow, the Graska city guards likely wouldn't appreciate poisonous spider Kin in the city scaring the locals.. Even if they are friendly summons.
