New Age Of Summoners



"A demon king's heart."

"A piece of Ghastly silver."

.

.

.

"Nightmare fiend's fur."

"100 units of the Nether essence."

Rurbeak nearly said the names of the twelve items in a single breath, making Ajax and the remaining nine old dwarves look at him in a new light.

Even though they knew about all the items that Rurbeak mentioned, they didn't think of using them to upgrade the demonic avatar.

"Young is bound to surpass the Old."

"Young ones these days are born intelligent."

The old grey dwarves commented with mixed emotions; however, they were happy for Rurbeak because he was one of them.

The more he improves his weapon refining skills, the better it is for their world and their race.

"Master, we already have all the items except for the last two items. If you provide me with those two items, I can start the refinement of your demonic avatar."

Seeing the shocked look on Ajax's face, Rurbeak hurriedly informed him.

"Phew…only two items. Good."

Ajax thought about the two items that are unable for the Grey dwarves of this world.

'I can get the Nightmare fiend's fur from the Nightmare fiend I met in the trader's realm.'

Without thinking much, Ajax already found the source of one item.

'As for the other item, I have to search for it in the trader's realm. I hope this nether essence is not as rare as the plant essence; otherwise, I have to waste so much time retrieving the world cores.'

However, Ajax felt it was not a rare item and he could find it with some little effort.

"I will let you know once I find the two items. You better be ready with the remaining items and start the upgradation of my demonic avatar."

"Yes, Master."

After giving his orders, Ajax didn't waste any time as he went back to the trader's realm and started his search for the nether essence.

'Damn it…why is this nether essence so rare just like the plant essence?'

Only after searching the entire low-level and mid-level trader's realm, did Ajax realise how to race the nether essence and cursed his luck.

'It looks like I ran out of my luck these days.'

Ajax shook his head in disappointment.

'Anyway, let's collect the other item.'

Even though it might take some time to find the nether essence, Ajax decided to collect the second item he came for.

'Let's hope he won't ask too many questions and give me the fur.'

With that thought in his head, Ajax sent a message to the nightmare fiend.

Earlier, when they formed a deal, Ajax had added everyone to his friends' list including the Golden Demon Emperor.

'Just because adding someone as friends in the trader's realm doesn't mean they are real friends.'

There was no way Ajax would become friends with the Golden Demon Emperor and the Astral Demon Emperor for multiple reasons.

The reason why he added them to his friends' list was that it was the only way he could communicate with them regarding their deals.

So, there was no way for Ajax to avoid it.

<What? You want my fur?>

Soon, Ajax got a reply from the Nightmare fiend. From his reply, he looked suspicious of Ajax.

<Yes>

<What are you going to do with it?>

<Can I not answer it?>

<No. If you don't answer it, just forget about it>

'...'

Seeing the reply from the nightmare fiend, Ajax was speechless.

'Let it be. I will just inform him.'

Since he only knows one nightmare fiend in the entire universe and no one sells the nightmare fiend's fur in the market.

Therefore, Ajax decided to tell the truth to get the nightmare fiend's fur.

<According to my weapon refiner, your fur can be used to upgrade my demonic avatar. So, can you please send me some fur?>

Even though Ajax felt it was lowly to ask for someone's fur, there was nothing he could do about it.

In order to focus on his things, he had to upgrade the demonic avatar who could retrieve the world cores in his place.

<Really? My fur is useful in upgrading your demonic avatar?>

The nightmare fiend was surprised to hear Ajax's reason for why he wanted his fur.

<Yes>

Ajax had a bitter smile on his face as he replied to the nightmare fiend.

<Let's meet in the mid-level trader's realm in five minutes. Don't worry, I am bringing my fur>

After saying that, the nightmare fiend left the chat.

'Phew…finally, I can get one of the two items.'

Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the last reply from the nightmare fiend.

…..

After five minutes,

"Here."

The nightmare fiend arrived on time and he brought his black fur along with him and gave it to Ajax.

"Thank you. Is there something you want in exchange for the fur?"

Ajax knew that the other party wants something from him. Therefore, before the nightmare fiend could ask him, Ajax himself asked whether the other party wanted something.

"Nothing."

However, to his surprise, the nightmare fiend shook his head and said he didn't want anything.

"However, if it is okay, then can you tell me what are the features of your demonic avatar after it is upgraded?"

After some hesitation, the nightmare fiend asked something simple, making Ajax think, 'Who would have thought he would be interested in the effect of the demonic avatar?'

"Sure."

With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head in agreement.

"Thank you."

The nightmare fiend nodded his head in satisfaction.

He didn't expect that someone would use his fur in refining the artifacts and obviously he was curious about the effect of that aritfact.

So, he gave his fur and asked if he wanted to know about the after-effects of that demonic avatar.

"However, the thing is I still lack one more item to start the refinement for my demonic avatar."

In the next second, Ajax revealed the truth that made the nightmare friend frown.

"What item is it?"

"Nether Essence. If Sir Nightmare can…"

"I have it."

However, before Ajax could finish his words, the nightmare fiend interrupted the words that pleasantly surprised him.
