My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 43 Gains

The Shadow Lynx was smashed to the ground with great force. The unexpected arrival of Spot had surprised even it.Lucas did not waste the opportunity and retreated far away from the two, his arms still trembling due to the force that struck it earlier; at the very least, though, his arms were still intact thanks to the Armadon Tonfa's block.

As he retreated, Lucas turned his head to the area of the battle earlier and saw that the other Shadow Lynx was already disintegrating into particles of light. A moment later, the last Shadow Lynx also succumbed to Spot's vicious claws.

The blood and gore slowly disintegrated, restoring the surroundings anew. If there were no marks left, like the indentations on the ground or broken twigs around, one might even realize that a battle had taken place here just moments ago.

Calming his nerves, Lucas nodded at Spot in appreciation before he proceeded to recollect the trip traps he had used earlier. The trip traps had proven to be very useful, and he still needed to use them for the next hunt.

While doing so, Lucas did not forget to give Spot his well-deserved treat. He also allowed him to dismiss his Hellhound Manifestation in order for him to have a rest. Spot was not badly injured, to say the least. There were just some scratches and shallow wounds around his body that had slowly begun to heal even before he reverted to his normal form.

Lucas also obtained some bruises on his arms due to the blunt force he received from blocking the Shadow Lynx strike. However, such bruises were bearable for him, so it was not a problem.

All in all, the battle went well and according to plan, until the unexpected situation where the Shadow Lynx chose to attack him instead, at least.

After retrieving all the trip traps he had set up, Lucas and Spot did not linger in the area any longer. They moved toward another location as Lucas

As he set up the traps, Lucas also decided to educate Spot about them, telling him to be careful and not to trip on any of them. He provided a lot of space in the center for Spot to maneuver, though, so he should be fine. The only areas where he set up the traps were just in the shadowy area where the Shadow Lynxes would most likely blend into.

Learning from his experience, Lucas also set up another batch of trip traps in another area. It was in this area that he planned to watch and observe the battle. In case one of the Shadow Lynx decides to attack him, he would also have his own trips to restrict them.

Lucas then unsummoned Spot as he was already near his time limit. Not wanting to waste some precious minutes, he decided to summon him later, right at the start of the battle.

With his preparations done, Lucas followed the Shadow Lynx trail once again.

Five minutes later, Lucas ran back as quickly as he could.

Dozens of yards behind him, Spot could be seen fighting five Shadow Lynxes as he retreated back in the same direction as Lucas.

"Shit, there's actually five of them!"

Lucas cursed as he ran wildly in front.

The fifth Shadow Lynx was an unexpected surprise for Lucas. He did not see it during his observation earlier, as it actually camouflaged in one of the huge roots of the dark giant tree. He only noticed that particular Shadow Lynx right after he made the noise to gain their attention, and it was already too late for him to stop.

Still, even though there were five of them, everything was still within Lucas' expectations.
