The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Second Contract

The guide was posted.

Because the map reward image was so strange, people rushed in to watch.

“Whoa, boss-level player! You cleared this dungeon in under three hours? What did you use- some forbidden spell?”

“I officially call you the god of the strategy group.”

“Perfect timing. I haven’t cleared this dungeon yet. I’m going to try it now.”

“Legend, please accept my respect.”

“Do you sell Silver-tier fruit? I buy long-term.”

Joanna looked at her points shooting up and felt great.

In the past, she almost never touched these points unless she had no other choice. Even then, she would only exchange a little for Starcoins to buy dungeon supplies when the team was truly short on resources.

But these new points were different. They were proof that her skill had been recognized. They would be useful later.

Naturally, she had no intention of spending them now.

“Nighthowl, let’s go back to the villa,” Joanna said.

“Okay!” Nighthowl replied.

Nighthowl looked at Joanna, his eyes bright. He caught a very pleasant scent from her. As he moved closer to her, his arm wrapped around her waist without him noticing. It felt like he wanted to cling to her.

He really wanted to cuddle.

Joanna looked at him in surprise. For a moment, Nighthowl looked just like a puppy asking for

snacks.

Were her affinity points too strong now? Was that why her contracted target was becoming even closer to her?

She reached out and gently rubbed his furry ears, soothing him as she said, “I can’t release affinity right now. I need to contract a second beast.”

Finished

Thinking of how siblings sometimes compete for attention, and knowing Nighthowl was innocent rather than foolish, she explained again, “A summoner has to contract one beast every ten levels. That’s how I grow in different directions and get stronger,” Joanna said.

“I need strength to take the SAT. And I need strength to survive in this world.”

Right now, Summoners in the Space Alliance usually follow one of two paths.

The first path was like Joanna’s. They used summoning circles to summon contracted beasts. If a contracted beast died, it was gone forever. But the strength gained from training them could be returned to the Summoner.

The second path focused on numbers. Those summoners treated summoned beasts like expendable units. They could summon endlessly.

But that required learning many summoning skills.

Each class could only learn a limited number of skills.

Joanna didn’t want to waste her slots on things like Summon Goblin, Skeleton Warrior, or Elven Archer.

If she did that, she would have no real combat power later on. Winning by numbers alone would make her an easy target for assassins,

She wanted to be strong herself. She wanted to train elite companions and stack attributes until she became even stronger than her own summoned beasts.

Of course, at her current level, she would need at least ten summoned beasts just to match Nighthowl’s attributes.

But one day, she would do it.

Wouldn’t she?

Nighthowl didn’t like the idea of sharing his summoner with anyone else. But when he thought of Maverick, a sense of urgency rose in his chest.

Maverick was very strong, even though he showed no hostility toward Joanna.

But there were many powerful beings like that in this world.

If Joanna ever angered one of them, Nighthowl alone might not be enough to protect her.

And she could get hurt.

So summoning more contracted companions and growing stronger was the right path.

Finished

Besides, in his memories, it seemed normal for a bonded companion to be linked to multiple partners. She was outstanding. It made sense that more people would love her and protect her.

Nighthowl nodded.

“Don’t worry. If the new contracted companion doesn’t behave, I’ll help train him,” he said.

By “train,” he meant beating sense into them.

Definitely not venting personal feelings.

That’s what he told himself.

Joanna patted his furry ears again. Then she began setting up the circle.

This time, she was much more skilled. The next step was bloodletting.

The circle activated.

A system voice rang out.

“Bloodcall Circle activated. Do you wish to consume your Affinity Attribute to summon a compatible contract beast?”

“Yes,” Joanna answered.

“Please enter the amount of affinity points to consume.”

Joanna looked at her affinity points. They had already reached 1,000.

It was terrifying.
