Grace, the white wyvern, lifted her head and breathed out white mist that quickly crystallized into frost.
It engulfed three dire bears, freezing them inside resplendent ice. Grace took several bold steps, swinging her tail with such force that it slammed a dire bear to the ground, killing it instantly.
A dire bear roared at the wyvern, and it glared at the beast, roaring back with greater might before freezing it.
Isaac’s Mammoth Spider moved its eight legs, blurring to the left before launching webs at two dire bears.
The webs weren’t strong enough to stop the bears from moving, just enough to provoke them and gain their attention.
With ravenous eyes, the two bears dashed toward the spider, who quickly climbed a tree and spat a dense amount of webs, covering one dire bear in a web sack before it shot a web string at the other end and drew it upward.
Losing its connection to the ground, the dire bear wasn’t as frightening anymore. The Mammoth pierced it with its sharp, yellow-and-black forelimbs.
While these summons clashed intensely with the dire bears, the Sea King simply held a dire bear in place with one hand.
He looked at the bear for a while before crushing its skull by applying slight pressure to his fingers.
Another lunged at him, over a thousand two hundred pounds, with its mouth wide open and claws ready to sink into its target.
The Sea King’s eye locked on the bear, and with a nonchalant back slap, the dire bear flew backward at greater speed, vanishing into the fog, though they could still hear the sounds of it hitting and breaking down trees.
The Sea King didn’t even consider this a battle worth its attention. And so, it turned its eyes to the golden-armored knights efficiently cutting down the dire bears.
Mountain pulled out his spear from the corpse of the last dire bear and looked around. The battlefield was filled with ice and webs, but they had successfully killed thirty dire bears without casualty.
"Isolde, can you fly up and check how big this forest is? We might not need to leave the forest," Godfrey said, turning to Isolde, who responded with a nod. But just then, the fog came at them as if blown by the wind.
The moment it engulfed them, Godfrey bellowed, "Come together!" He watched as the others tried to get to him, but as they came closer, they grew faint until they vanished from his sight.
Even Mountain and Ballista were gone, lost in the fog, which still moved with speed. With a thought, he retrieved Mountain and Ballista into his soul space.
’What’s this?’
Godfrey frowned. After a while, the fog stopped moving and began to clear up. When it completely cleared up, Godfrey found himself outside Skyline 88.
A crowd of people gathered outside as he saw his mother and Victoria being covered, declared dead, and pushed toward an ambulance.
The sight made Godfrey’s eyes grow wide. He tried to move but discovered he couldn’t, chains of great size held his limbs in place.
That sight... this thing before his eyes was his greatest fear, losing his mother to this world, knowing that the larger masses scorned humanoid summoners.
He might have been oblivious before, but after the joint dungeon, that ignorance was wiped off. The first thing a man did when he saw his summon was point a gun at him.
Though Godfrey hid it deep, he knew, strength was the only way to keep their mouths shut and protect his mother. After hearing "Readjustment Class" a couple of times, he did his research and knew.
Humanoid summoners might also be summoners, but they weren’t accepted because of the series of nationwide massacres a good number of them had committed, beginning with Cain.
’You still couldn’t save her,’ a voice rang in his head.
"It’s a lie," Godfrey muttered.
’Your eyes can see it. You know your fear will come to pass. The world is different from a few students. You can never be like your dad.’
"I’ll never want to die like him!" Godfrey roared as he clawed after the ambulance that drove his mother away.
This was an illusion, he desperately wanted to cling onto that, but all memory of what happened before he got here was covered in a mental fog.
