New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 2169: Protos' Battle without Bloodline Boost (1)

After Protos broke through to the Elemental Spirit Emperor Realm, there was an upgrade in his Divine Talent.

The number of Elemental Beasts he could control increased from 10 to 100!

'I was expecting the number to double, but who would have thought it would increase by ten times?'

Ajax was very happy about the upgrade in Protos' Divine Talent and couldn't help but praise it.

'As expected of a Divine Talent! Just breaking through to the Emperor Realm made Protos even more powerful.'

With the number of Elemental Beasts he could control increasing to 100, Ajax's plan to build an Elemental Beast Army had become much easier.

"Protos, are you ready to control more evolved Flaming Monkeys?"

Looking at the remaining 49 unconscious Emperor Realm Flaming Monkeys in the cave, Ajax asked Protos, who excitedly nodded his head.

"Yes, Summoning Master!"

Soon, Ajax injected 5,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature into 40 Emperor Realm Flaming Monkeys and evolved them one by one.

'Control!'

As Ajax evolved them, Protos immediately used his Divine Talent to control them.

In just an hour, 40 more evolved Emperor Realm Flaming Monkeys had joined Protos' Elemental Beast Army.

Even though Protos could now control 100 Fire Elemental Beasts, there were no longer enough Emperor Realm Flaming Monkeys in the Flaming Forest to fill all his slots.

Therefore, Ajax believed that having 50 evolved Flaming Monkeys was good enough for now.

"As for these remaining Flaming Monkeys, let's test your rewards tomorrow."

Ajax looked at the remaining unconscious Flaming Monkeys and decided to leave them for the next day.

His bloodline boost had already disappeared, and Protos' battle prowess had returned to normal.

Without that boost, fighting an evolved Emperor Realm Flaming Monkey on his own would be extremely difficult for Protos.

Moreover, his [Flame Body] was also on cooldown.

Therefore, Ajax decided to let Protos fight the remaining Flaming Monkeys after his abilities had recovered.

"Until then, go back and rest in the Divine Inner World."

"Yes, Summoning Master!"

Protos had been hunting Flaming Monkeys since morning. After resting for only an hour, he had continued hunting for another two hours.

So, Ajax felt that it was enough for the day and decided to resume Protos' training the following day.

'As for me, I should check the other regions in the Fire Terrain.'

Since the number of Flaming Monkeys had greatly decreased, Ajax decided to look for another suitable hunting ground filled with Elemental Beasts and with fewer participants.

The main reason he had chosen the Flaming Forest was that most participants were afraid of the Flaming Monkeys.

After all, these Elemental Beasts would attack in hordes and could even kill Peak Emperor Realm experts.

Considering that almost all the participants were only at the Low-Level or Mid-Level Emperor Realm, they naturally avoided the Flaming Forest.

Thanks to that, Ajax had been able to hunt peacefully during the First Round and continue his experiments during the Second Round.

However, with so many Flaming Monkeys captured and killed, the forest was no longer as suitable for hunting as before.

'I should find another place with plenty of Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts.'

With that thought, Ajax left the cave and began exploring the other regions of the Fire Terrain.

As for resting, with Ajax's Peak Divine Body Cultivation, he didn't really need rest.

Moreover, he had already rested enough on the last day of the First Round.

…..

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, twelve hours had passed.

'Among all the regions in the Fire Terrain, the Lava River is the second-best hunting ground after the Flaming Forest.'

After exploring several regions, Ajax finally selected his next destination.

He returned to the cave, where Protos' Elemental Beast Army was guarding the unconscious Flaming Monkeys.

"Protos, let's begin your training."

Ajax summoned Protos from the Divine Inner World.

"Yes, Summoning Master!"

After resting for twelve hours, Protos was in peak condition, so he nodded before looking at the evolved Emperor Realm Flaming Monkey that was charging towards him with an angry roar.

[Flame Body]!

[Great Fire Blessing]!

Without hesitation, Protos activated both skills, greatly increasing the power of his fire-type attacks.

He then immediately used another skill.

[Heavenly Fire Burst]!

'Boom!'

A powerful burst of flames erupted around Protos, striking the incoming Flaming Monkey and momentarily slowing its charge.

However, the evolved Flaming Monkey refused to retreat.

'Keech! Keech!'

It jumped towards Protos with its sharp claws extended.

Just as the Flaming Monkey's claws were about to reach him, a fiery mirror appeared in front of Protos.

[Infernal Mirror]!

'Boom!'

The Flaming Monkey's attack struck the fiery mirror and was reflected towards it with 150 percent of its original power!

The reflected attack struck the Flaming Monkey, sending it crashing backwards.

'Kacha!'

A small crack appeared on its crystalline body, but the damage began healing almost immediately.

'As expected, its recovery ability is incredible.'

Protos watched the Flaming Monkey recover and prepared for its next attack.

'Keech! Keech!'

The evolved Flaming Monkey charged at him again.

Protos knew that his current battle prowess was not enough to kill it instantly. Therefore, he needed to make the best use of his skills and find an opening.

[Flame Protection]!

[Infernal Mirror]!

A protective layer of flames surrounded Protos, blocking the Flaming Monkey's incoming claws.

'Boom!'

The impact forced Protos to retreat a few steps, but he quickly regained his balance, and the reflected attack also left a crack on the Flaming Monkey's body.

'Wait a second.'

Looking at the incoming enraged Evolved Flaming Monkey, Protos thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

[Infernal Mirror]!

[Infernal Mirror]!

'Boom!'

'Boom!'

No matter how many times the Flaming Monkey attacked him, Protos only used one skill, [Infernal Mirror], to push it away.

With each use, the damage dealt to the Flaming Monkey increased thanks to the Unique Skill: Flame Accumulation.

[Infernal Mirror]!

'Boom!'

When Protos used the skill for the eleventh consecutive time, the 150 percent reflection damage of the [Infernal Mirror] doubled instantly and left the Flaming Monkey severely injured.

'This is my chance.'
