This Summoner Is Too Powerful

[Pop!]

The Wind Element Slime originally wore a cute and innocent expression, but upon noticing the grassman approaching, it immediately turned furious.

BONG~

The grassman threw a grass punch, striking the Wind Element Slime.

But the bouncy force deflected much of its strength.

[Plop plop!]

The Wind Element Slime, on the other hand, forcefully thrust itself, sending the grassman flying far away.

Whoosh~ Thud!

The grassman soared through the air for several seconds before finally crashing into the yellow sand.

"Is this what you call a meaningless collision?"

"Why do I feel it was very significant..."

Li Pu, who was watching, couldn't help but comment.

[Plop plop plop! Plop plop!] xN

However, that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that all the nearby slimes became agitated and began to swarm toward where the grassman was.

"Hurry, retreat!"

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Li Pu quickly called to the grassman.

[Grass! Grass grass!]

When it comes to escaping, the grassman was quite enthusiastic.

So, regardless of how pathetic it looked at the moment, it rushed toward the light gate of the dungeon.

Fortunately, the slimes were relatively slow, and the grassman managed to escape just before being completely surrounded.

Buzz... x2

"This won't do..."

After coming out of the dungeon, Li Pu furrowed his brows.

[Grass!]

The shaken grassman opened a bottle of cola to calm its nerves.

It was close to being beaten to death by the slimes.

If a dignified grassman like itself got done in by slimes, wouldn't that be... well, maybe not a significant dishonor.

As for Li Pu, he started analyzing the situation.

The huge jelly bodies of the slimes were very bouncy, effectively neutralizing blows.

To deal effective damage, perhaps sharp weapons would be the best choice.

Which means he and the grassman need appropriate weapons.

But even the cheapest Summoner/Summoned Beast weapons at the trading station combined cost over a thousand Crystal Coins.

Clearly, the money he had wasn't enough to cover it.

"What about using Small Fireballs?"

Li Pu thought of another approach.

After waiting for some time, assuming the slimes had calmed down, he re-entered the dungeon with the grassman.

The results weren't much better.

Testing revealed that the power of a Small Fireball was enough to severely damage the slimes.

But the problem was it couldn't kill them instantly, and the slimes were widely spaced, allowing him to only hit one at a time.

This method, repeatedly entering and exiting the dungeon to clear the slimes, was inefficient, almost as if exploiting a bug.

"Something's not right."

Just then, Li Pu's gaze inadvertently fell on a pile under a nearby tree.

There were a dozen or so horn blades from knife aphids, leftovers from earlier sacrifices.

Although these horn blades tend to lose their vitality and become ineffective, they still retained sharpness and hardness.

"Here we go."

He walked over, bent down, and picked up a horn blade, swinging it a few times.

It's not perfectly handy, but still usable.

Most crafted weapons are based on magical beast remains.

Thus, this horn blade from a magical beast can definitely inflict effective damage.

This primitive horn blade has its drawbacks compared to enchanted weapons: it won't auto-repair when damaged, and once lost, it's truly gone.

But this was not a problem for Li Pu.

Didn't he have over a dozen on the ground? If necessary, he could lure some knife aphids, essentially having an infinite supply.

Thus, he stored most of the horn blades in his inventory.

Leaving only four of the best-looking ones, two for himself and two for the grassman.

[Grass!]

The grassman, holding two blades, was a bit excited.

However, its usage was basic, merely swinging its arms in circles.

It changed from the "Big Windmill Fist" to the "Big Windmill Blade."

"Come on, let's try again."

In Li Pu's view, this was sufficient.

So he took out the dungeon crystal again and activated the light gate.

Buzz... x2

A few seconds later, the duo reappeared in the dungeon.

"This time, let me go first; watch and learn."

Li Pu limped over with two horn blades.

His previous attempts had given him a rough idea of the slimes' alert range.

If executed properly, he could attract only one slime without agitating the others.

After reaching a distance, he stopped and stood still.

Slowly waiting for the wandering slime to approach him.

Sure enough, within half a minute, one Wind Element Slime noticed Li Pu as it hopped over.

[Plop plop!!]

Invaders in its territory made the Wind Element Slime furious.

It hopped closer, launching a Historical Bomb Shock at Li Pu.

But Li Pu, having already activated Sprint, took a swift limp to cleverly dodge aside.

Whoosh!

The horn blade in his hand sliced down smoothly, his movements appearing skilled.

After all, he had similar experiences as a child; the opponents simply changed from beasts to magical beasts, and the weapon from a stick to a broken blade.

Splurt...

Sure enough, as anticipated, the horn blade sliced through the Wind Element Slime effortlessly.

Its bouncy, jelly-like body was strong against impacts but excessively soft and vulnerable to sharp attacks.

This strike felt as if cutting tofu, offering little resistance.

[Pain pain, plop!]

This caused the Wind Element Slime to cry out in pain.

Unlike other magical beasts bleeding blue, it merely emitted a gust of wind from its wound, messing up Li Pu's hair.

This Wind Element Slime, although only an F-grade 0 Transcend level 30 magical beast, took Li Pu several minutes to subdue.

He wasn't injured, but it was indeed exhausting.

"Alright, now it's your turn to try."

After a brief rest, Li Pu sent the grassman to give it a go.

The summoned creature's growth far exceeded that of humans.

While Li Pu had good foundation and the grassman poor, now at LV25, its physique matched 70-80% of Li Pu's.

Solely relying on one summoned creature, even with the feedback from Grateful grasses, Li Pu knew he'd be surpassed in time.

[Grass grass!]

Grassman: Rest assured, Summoner, I have learned.

Having observed earlier, it was now confident.

[Grass grass grass!]

With a cry, it charged forward.

[Plop plop!]

[Grass!]

The grassman and the slime soon engaged in battle.

Yet, Li Pu observing from the rear found the scene rather speechless.

"... You didn't get the main points, did you?"

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but comment.

The grassman's blade technique remained its familiar "Big Windmill" style.

It managed to mimic one thing: clumsily limping while swinging.

Better not to have learned that.
