My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 53 Iron Star 3

Lucas circled the cluster of decaying grass once more, carefully scanning the area, and confirmed that this was the only spot that seemed out of place.'Is this a beast nest?' Lucas thought.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that it should not be the case.

In the school database, he had never seen a beast with a nest or habitat like this.

One must note that once a dungeon was conquered, everything inside of it would essentially be at a standstill. No further advancements would be given to the creatures, and their sole purpose would only be to bring experience points to the hunters.

Procreation would no longer even be a thing. The eggs would remain eggs and the younglings would remain younglings. Adult beasts will assume a rank, and all of the same species will have the same rank. If they die, another beast of the same rank and species would just respawn somewhere else inside the dungeon.

With that, there should no longer be any beast that was left undocumented by the early hunters that remained hidden until now. Gathering data has always been a strong suit of humans, after all, so Lucas was quite confident in that regard.

In a place where evolution and growth were capped, there was no reason for a new and unheard nest to be present at all.

'A man-made one?'

This was what Lucas thought after crossing his previous idea.

'That should be it,' Lucas was more or less sure about this now.

He crouched down and observed the tied stalks. There was no way that a beast could do such a sophisticated and complicated task—at least, not the beasts of the school-regulated dungeon.

Confirming that it was indeed man-made, Lucas pondered what its purpose was.

'A trap, perhaps?'

He nodded his head, as that was indeed a possibility. Lucas was suddenly curious about how it worked. If proven to be effective, he would one day try such traps too.

Crouching down, Lucas pointed his flashlight and tried to discern what was underneath it through the gaps. Unfortunately, he could not discern anything. The decaying grass stalks were just pretty dense underneath, not allowing the lights of his flashlight to come through easily.

In the end, Lucas decided to give up.

Spot seemed to be disheartened that they were unable to discover the mystery of the trap, though. But there was nothing that he could do about it. It's not that he could spoil the trap of someone just because of his curiosity, right?

Seeing the Spot appearing downhearted and looking at him with Gentle Gaze, Lucas could only roll his eyes before saying, "Alright. Don't sulk too much. I'll

With such strength, Lucas reckoned that he would now be able to fare better if he were to fight a Shadow Lynx one on one again. As for winning over the beast, Lucas did not want to overestimate himself that much.

'Humility. Humility.'

It was just a pity that he had failed to receive a grimoire page once more.

'Better luck next time, I guess.'

Now that he was done with his goal, Lucas thought that it was finally time to exit the dungeon and rest in his soft, makeshift bed.
