Bab 42: Chapter 043 - The Unbelievable Removal Match
"May I ask who you are?" Johnsan didn't rush to answer his question.
"I am the only summoning art instructor in the Scarlet Narrows, the Summoning Imperial Master Grue#Mania." The old man mouthed, his eyes fixed on the five aliens without letting go.
"Greetings mentor." Johnsan gave him a respectful salute, then stood up straight and said nonchalantly, "I don't just have this kind of summoned beast, I also have a more powerful one. The whole process is complicated, I can't quite figure it out myself, so I think you, mentor, can clear up the confusion for me."
"Hmm?" Gru retracted his gaze from the alien, his glittering eyes looking to Johnsan, and said, "What kind of magical beast did you put out for me to see?"
Johnsan looked to an open clearing in the stone chamber, and with a thought, the massive black dragon alien appeared in the middle of the chamber.
Gru was a bit careless at first, and he couldn't help but blush as soon as the black dragon alien came out.
"Huh!" Gelu stood up and scrutinized the Black Dragon Alien, saying under his breath, "That's really strange, how come I've never seen this kind of strange magical beast before, like a black dragon, but not quite the same."
As he spoke, Grue released his summoned beast.
Repression and panic filled Johnsan's mind, and he could barely catch his breath as he looked at the beasts that had suddenly appeared beside the black dragon alien.
It was a dragon, a real red dragon.
Long tail dragging on the ground, its body length of fifty to sixty meters, high is reached more than seventy meters, body covered with red dragon scales, strong limbs as climbing the sky giant columns like a stable press on the ground, claw tip flashes with cold light.
The two thick giant horns on top of his head formed a terrifying arc, his huge red eyes were like burning fireballs, and as he breathed, a large amount of black smoke and sparks spewed out down his nostrils.
Sensing a powerful threat, the black dragon alien turned its head to look at the red dragon, which was larger in size than it, and a dull, low roar came out of its mouth, and a fishy, stinking gust of wind blew up in the stone room at once.
The red dragon wasn't willing to show weakness either, it instinctively opened its huge mouth, a dazzling hot flame spewing erratically from its mouth, its red eyes filled with violence.
Grue hurriedly used his spiritual power to pacify the red dragon, its huge open mouth then slowly closed.Johnsan also commanded the black dragon alien to turn its head and be quiet.
"I've never seen a magical beast with such a strange appearance like yours either, but I can feel how powerful it is, the black dragon is a bit weaker than my red dragon, but I have a feeling that this ninth level magical beast of yours is not inferior to my red dragon summoning beast."
Gelu's eyes retracted from the alien black dragon and looked at Johnsan and asked, "How is it that this magical beast is so similar in appearance to your other summoned beasts, and how is it that there is such a big difference in body size? You're just a Grand Summoner, how did you summon it?"
Johnsan blinked and repeated what he'd told Aldrich and the others, but added a few statements he'd thought of later.
"At that time I thought that peculiar multi-clawed monster was dead, who knew that the spiritual connection with it was still unbroken, as if its soul still existed. At that time, somehow, my eyes saw these magical beasts that I had summoned from the edge of the Sunset Moon Mountain Range, and I felt a loud bang in my head, and when I looked again, this magical beast appeared in the body of that black dragon, and after devouring the black dragon's magical crystals, it turned into what it is now."
"You summoned these magical beasts from the Falling Moon Mountain Range?" Grue's eyes went to the five aliens.
"Yes, there were a total of ten such hatchlings encountered at the time, and by a fluke they were all summoned at once. One died a few days ago while sparring in the forest, and now there are nine more." Johnsan replied without thinking.
"There are still magical beasts in this world that parasitize and grow inside other magical beasts? And can parasitize again with its soul, and can change its form with the summoner's will?" Gelu muttered, his brows furrowing.
Johnsan didn't say a word and looked at him respectfully.
Gru inquired again about what the multi-clawed monster looked like, and Johnsan depicted it in a nutshell.
Only after a long time did Grue say, "Perhaps that peculiar magical beast egg ran into the black dragon body in the form of soul parasitism, and your eyes saw your original summoned beast, and then this peculiar magical beast turned into this unorthodox appearance according to your idea. But there are so many strange and bizarre things in this world that there's no way I can be able to explain it."
"How big is your mental space?" Gru couldn't figure that one out, so he just didn't think about it now.
"It's huge, I can't feel the edges."
Grue's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh out loud as he said, "Good, very good, you're going to be a great summoner."
Johnsan smiled coyly when he realized.
"But ...," Gru's words changed, "you'll have to survive the removal match in three days to count."
"The delisting contest?" Johnsan asked with a start, "What delisting match."
Gru's eyes dimmed and he sighed, "Whenever newcomers come to the Scarlet Narrows, the worst corresponding number of those newcomers' relative professions will be drawn to form a squad to fight a battle against the squad formed by your newcomers, and it will only end when that side is completely killed. This is the Removal Tournament."
Johnsan was a bit surprised to hear this and couldn't help but ask, ''Isn't the Scarlet Narrow Valley for humans to train some experts out? From the ten-man elimination tournament in the forest outside the Narrow Valley to the current elimination tournament, how many people must have died? Moreover, they are all still elites. Mentor, I'm a little confused, why is this?"
Gelu was silent and raised his head in the middle of the day before saying, ''You don't need to worry about that for now, think about the removal match three days later. I'm not sure about the other professions, but on our summoner side, you're here, so naturally I have to draw the worst one out to fight you. Darcy is my pick, he's a summoner with a level 7 magical beast and eight level 6 magical beasts. If you were to fight alone, you would definitely win, but this is a group battle, and once a weak Summoner is approached by the enemy, then the outcome would be hard to predict."
"One rank seven magical beast and eight rank six magical beasts?" Johnsan's eyes went straight at once, and he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Yes." Gelu affirmatively denied his suspicions and said, "One is a level seven magical beast, the Xuan Shui Yin Snake, and needless to say for the level six, on our Summoner's side, he's one of the worst."
This is too ...
Johnsan's mind is in a whirl.
"Put away your magical beasts and go down for a good rest first." Gelu patted his shoulder as if to comfort him and said, "It will start in three days."
Saying that, Grue retrieved his red dragon, and seeing Johnsan's tightly furrowed brow also retrieve his magical beast, he sighed in his heart and called out to the outside, "Gourry, come in here for a moment."
Outside the stone cave, a gray-robed middle-aged man with a simple face walked in at the sound of the voice and respectfully said to Grue, "Mentor."
"Take him down and arrange a stone room, if he doesn't understand anything you help him out." Grue instructed Gourry who came in.
Johnsan gathered himself and bowed to Grue before following Gourry out.
Still in this same row of stone chambers as well, Johnsan followed Gourry into one, but it was about as simple as Grue's room.
Gourry laughed nervously and said in a muffled, thunderous voice, "You'll live here, all the houses here are more or less the same, if there's anything you don't understand ask, I've been here for many years."
"Has anyone been out here?" Johnsan asked, opening his mouth as he invited him to sit in the stone chair.
Gourry shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"No?" Johnsan, a little taken aback, asked, "How many years have you been here?"
Gourry pondered for a while and replied, "Thirty-four years, I've heard people say that it seems like someone went out more than ten years ago, but I can't be sure. This place is too chaotic, there are often people challenging fights without any reason, I don't know how many people have died, who can remember who."
"Who's in charge here?" Johnsan asked as his right hand unconsciously stroked the lapis lazuli tabletop.
"Mr. Donald, the only Sacred Domain Wizard in the Scarlet Narrows." Gourry had respect on his face, but Johnsan still caught a hint of awe in his eyes.
Holy realm powerhouses! Legend has it that you can move mountains and fill in the sea with terror, a Holy Realm powerhouse.
Johnsan's brain jutted out and his pupils tightened momentarily.
"Most of the people who have reached that realm are in pursuit of even greater power and the pinnacle, and simply won't pay attention to the mundane things of the world, and no one is sure how many Saint Domain powerhouses there are in the entire continent. This Scarlet Narrow Valley talker is actually a Saint Domain Magician!"
Johnsan couldn't help but feel incredulous.
"By the way, there is a red rocky hillside at the southern end of the Narrow Valley, where Mr. Donald lives, and it's also a forbidden place in the Scarlet Narrow Valley, so you don't want to go there, but there's also a black-clad guard outside, so you can't enter even if you want to."
"Well, thank you." Johnsan half-heartedly calmed down, and when he looked outside to see how late it was getting, he smiled, "I haven't slept well in a few days, so I'd like to get some rest."
Gourry smiled back understandingly and said, "I live next door to you, so if there's anything you want to ask me, you can ask me. By the way, there's a switch here at the door, if you press it a stone door will close so you can get some rest."
Johnsan nodded with a smile and rose to escort him out, reaching out to press a hand against a protruding stone on the stone wall, and there was a rumbling sound from the top of the cavern as the stone door fell away, blocking out all light.
The stone cavern, however, was not dim, with several bright magic crystals set into the walls, and Johnsan sighed and lay down on the bed.
Johnsan hadn't slept peacefully since he stepped into the forest, that is, he didn't have the energy to think about the weird blood-colored Narrows at this time, releasing two aliens to guard the doorway, and laying down to fall into a deep sleep in no time.
After drifting off to sleep for who knows how long, Johnsan then woke up and looked out the skylight to see that it was a clear yellow color outside, but it was already dawn.
Getting up and stretching his back, Johnsan didn't rush to go out, from his neck he unlocked eighteen spatial rings, Johnsan took out the black sharp blade and stabbed his finger, recognizing the owner of the spatial rings with a drop of blood. At this time, seeing some light smoke coming out of the black sharp blade, instantly corroded by his own blood out of a gap, Johnsan could not help but let out a bitter smile.
The feeling made him a little uncomfortable, as if he wasn't a normal human being.
After exploring the spatial rings separately, Johnsan was overjoyed. Of the eighteen spatial rings, almost every one of them contained some strange and bizarre things, such as magic crystal cards, high-level magical beast cores, some herbs that Johnsan couldn't recognize, and even some peculiar armors and blades, and so on.
Eighteen space rings could not be worn by two hands, Johnsan still hung back to his neck tucked under his clothes, when he heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Johnsan, are you awake?"
Hearing Robin's voice coming from outside, Johnsan was busy retrieving the alien to open the stone door, and saw Robin standing outside with the trio and the blonde teenager, Burundi.
