Epic Of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System In The Apocalypse

-----

"GGRRYAAOO…!"

The Giant Thunder Wolf that was about to devour that half-wolf guy began to burn with the use of my Infernal Flare, it was an A-Rank++ monster, so it was fairly strong, but I spammed it Infernal Flare into fireballs until the bastard died grilled alive.

I flew down below as I saw my party quickly finish off the other giant wolves, and then I glanced at the strange people that Ervas had pointed out.

Really, beast-kin?

Beast-kin are popular in most fantasy fiction, they are half-beast and half-human people, sometimes they only have little features such as a tail and ears, or sometimes they are full-on furries with the heads of animals and all…

But these guys were the other kind, those that are still like people but covered in fur or scales in some areas, have tails, and sharp fangs and claws, alongside ears of animals.

I checked the status of the guy I just saved from being eaten as I discovered that his name was Javier Gutierrez, and seemed to have mutated into a Beast-kin through some strange means, but he was a human, at least a former human from earth.

But now… how odd, why did he become a beast-kin out of nowhere?

I asked Gaia but she had no idea either.

"I can detect life forms, but the amount of different phenomena's brought from all these dimensions is way too big, it is very hard for me to understand them… But I would guess that something triggered such a mutation. Although it doesn't seem to be so bad, as it helped him and those with him to survive up until this point," she said.

The beast-kin group glanced at my group with awe and were surprised over some of them.

"Y-Your group… is way stronger, did you use this hologram thing to become stronger? A-Ah, sorry, thank you for helping us out… After transforming, my mind feels way too dizzy so I cannot articulate… words properly," said Javier.

The other people also seemed thankful, as some pointed out if we were also beast-kin, as they saw Kireina and Katrina with butterfly wings and thought they had become butterfly beast-kin, or that Anna had become a squirrel beast-kin… The same with Vudia and the rest.

It would be way too troublesome to reveal that I got a system to summon powerful beings, so I lied.

"More or less, we were just as lucky as you, I managed to tame some monsters too, if you defeat them and force them to obey you, they will become tamed," I said, also answering one of the questions they had over our tamed monsters.

"Amazing… Ah! D-Do you know what's happening?! Is this the apocalypse? Is God finally done with us and has decided to punish us? T-This means that those that didn't go to the heavens are us…!" said Javier.

Ah… Well, if I were religious I would also think the same, bud, but nope…

Well, I might as well go with the flow and act as if I don't know anything.

"I have no idea, I've just been surviving by killing a monster with my family here… I have a strange power that lets me open a portal to inner space, please, get inside, it's safe there!" I said, quickly inviting everyone inside my Inner World after we finished off the wolves that were roaming around, which gave me enough EXP to finally hit the level cap.

Ding!

[Your Level has reached Level 60!]

[You gained Skill Points]

Of course, we also took all the loot and the corpses inside, and then we went in to take a quick break and also to speak with these new people. It was nice to finally find someone.

Javier and his party were naturally amazed by my power.

"T-This is surreal… Am I dreaming? We just… entered into a world…" said Javier.

"This place is so beautiful…"

"And peaceful too!"

"Hahh… I can finally take a break…"

The people began to finally relax, sitting over the grass and bathing in the light of the illusory sun of my inner world.

They were around eight people including Javier, and there were three corpses as well, which I retrieved too, for experiment-sake.

I checked their status to see that they were all indeed Beast-kin, and some of them had special and unique Skills that their beast-kin race had. Their strength was on average B-Rank, while Javier was A-Rank, they were strong right off the bat by just mutating into this beast-kin, but they had a weakness that Javier told me as I invited everyone to take baths, change clothes and also eat with me.

"It seems that the Orb that gives us our animal powers weaken when we use too much Stamina, we can regain stamina by eating monsters and their Orbs, but after fighting too much and using our powers, we weaken again due to the lack of stamina… It brings a lot of power but if we run out of Stamina, we become once more normal people," said Javier.

This was… interesting. I wonder if I can get a Beast Orb as well? I should be able to if I expose myself to the mysterious light that caused a mutation to them…

"It is most likely that the light that mutated them came from the crack that leads to another world's dimension… But telling this to him would only confuse him more. I recommend you convince them to join your group for now and make them grow stronger at your side, they could become useful," said Gaia.

I guess we have to play the Hero Card.

I suppose they don't have anywhere to go either, so they cannot reject my offer.

"I see… Everyone, my group is quite strong, but we believe that before this apocalypse, we are not near as strong, so we really need any help we can get. Would you be able to join our group? We can guard each other's backs as we survive together in this insane world," I said.

Javier and his group discussed things for a bit, although they were nervous, they couldn't really say "no" to me, especially because I saved their lives…

Heh…
