Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

Bzzz!

As soon as Legolas was alone again in the gray world, he heaved a sigh of relief as he recovered from all the exertions of the past few days.

Though the power of the gray world did most of the work, he still needed to exert a lot of his attention and power to do so much with the gray world.

Despite the many exertions though, he was satisfied with his discoveries and gains. He was also satisfied with the new Planet main mission that he triggered.

\'Now I see the benefits of reincarnation\'.

\'As an NPC, I am no longer tied to just a single planet. And with the gray world, I am no longer just tied to the storyline of a single planet either\'.

\'My reach is much farther now, I can directly affect a lot more things\'.

He grinned. \'When looked at like this, it seems the gray world was tailor-made just to help me in my quest to discovery the mysteries of this world\'.

\'Though it\'s not direct, spreading my influence and reach will definitely help me in my quest. From a planet, perhaps, I may be able to spread my influence over a whole Star System in the future and perhaps even a Star Cluster\'.

Just the thought of it excited him to no end.

Another fact that excited him apart from the more gray world related benefits was the benefit to his gathering in the form of Edgar. With Edgar\'s addition, his gray world was gradually close to forming the perfect super gathering.

If he could add a Mage in the future, the combo would be complete.

The transaction phase of the gray world gathering would no longer be as monotonous, but would be like a real black market to get exclusive goods.

Knowing the advantages of each of the other 3 main classes in Dominator, Legolas was hyped. The growth rate of the gathering\'s members would undoubtedly skyrocket once they started engaging more in transaction sessions.

Apart from all these benefits and advantages though, the real benefit that Legolas got from this trip which excited him to no end was Warp Prime.

He finally released the restrictions of the gray world.

Bzzz!

The next moment, 2 beasts were teleported to the gray world.

"…" Akela was silent as he curiously observed this world.

As Legolas\' contracted beast, the faint aura of the gray world was not strange to him since it was always connected to Legolas. Despite that, getting to see this world tangibly for the first time left the Emperor Wind Wolf fascinated.

Apart from him though, the other beast was much more docile.

In it\'s base state, a Warpsnare was a simple slime.

"Hehe…" Legolas chuckled as he looked at the unassuming purple slime with tiny pokes and holes for eyes, nose, and mouth that seemed completely harmless.

He picked it up. "Who is a cutey cutey slime?"

"Me!" The Warpsnare cheered.

"Who is a deadly ability-stealing slime?"

"Me!" Warp Prime cheered again excitedly.

"Who is a deadly shape-shifting slime?"

"Me!" "Me!" Warp Prime cheered louder.

In the end, Warp Prime was just 8 years old. Though he was far older than Lucky and Predator, in galactic terms, he was still just a baby Warpsnare.

The reason why he grew such an aggressive and predatory personality was due to the nature of Planet Austere. The hostile environment traumatized and toughened him up, turning him into an aggressive monster just to survive.

During their connection in the contract world, Legolas saw all of Warp Prime\'s life. For a long time, Warp Prime searched for a little bit of comfort.

After all the struggles, after all the battles, after all the killings, the slime sought for some comfort but Planet Austere just didn\'t allow it.

Left with no choice, to survive, it could only keep on fighting and killing and this warped its personality even further.

It was after being contracted to Legolas that all his struggles abated a bit.

No longer feeling solely in charge of his life and survival, no longer under so much threat and with someone to now look up to, Warp Prime reverted to his true nature, just an unassuming slime.

Legolas played with the slime even as Akela kept on exploring the gray world. After some time, he finally paused to think about his next plans.

Due to the time that he spent in Planet Austere, he had to scrap some of his plans since others already became a priority. "I would have loved to get all 4 of my beasts perfect Spirit Beasts companion now but I can\'t rush it".

"Shanks\' swearing in ceremony is in 2 days".

"Not just that, after weeks of development, the National Dominator Tournament is finally coming to an end, I need to monitor the finals".

Having been an avid fan of this tournament in his previous world, at least, even as a reincarnator, Legolas wanted to pay his respects even if it was just for the finals to remind himself that he was inherently still an Earthling.

His decision was not just for that reason though, it was also for his pocket.

"Hehe…" He chuckled as his virtual interface lit up another notification.

After the events of Version 1 to the players and seeing how big of a role he played in destroying the Clown Society, a lot of players were attracted to his faction. They joined without hesitation, increasing his virtual farmland.

Most of these players believed that if Version 2 would also take place in Planet Darvis, he would play a big role and was why they joined his faction.

More than 70% of players in Planet Darvis already joined his faction. To Legolas, this was a ripe field waiting for his sickle to harvest them of their experience points that they had amassed till now.

Before the tournament began, knowing the current purchasing power of the players, he gave a discount that would last throughout the whole tournament.

Every day, Legolas received virtual notifications like this as the players tried last-ditch efforts to increase their combat power and perform better in the tournament. Now, it was already the finals.

Though this meant that majority of the players were already eliminated and would no longer patronize him, he also recognized that this was an opportunity.

Legolas\' eyes shone as he remembered the elixirs that he didn\'t get to use.

He made a decision.

Legolas grinned in satisfaction as through his NPC interface tab, he finally navigated to the server where the individual finals battle was being broadcasted.

He settled on his throne in the gray world and watched.

"Oh…" He suddenly remembered something.

With a wave of his hand, a bag of popcorn materialized on his hand, he smiled in satisfaction and adjusted himself on his throne.

…

[Individual Battle Final!]

[Player #Valkyrie vs #Ghost Sentry!]

"It\'s been a long ride over the weeks but here we are man, at the official finals of the National Dominator Tournament".

"Our 2 heroes who made it here already etched their names in the echelons of history in Dominator, they have bossed their battles through the weeks, defeating countless opponents and achieving clutch victories".

"Valkyrie, a perfect hero of the ages, unmatched in battle…"

As the invited commentator for the final introduced both opponents, behind the battle arena stage, Ghost Sentry took a deep breath as he made his last preparations before stepping into the battle arena.

It still felt like a dream to him but to his shock, after grinding hard for so many months, he not only fulfilled his dream to become a pro player but he also made it to the individual final of the very first National Dominator tournament.

At this moment, he felt overwhelmed.

Of course, proven veterans like the Sword God and Berserker God were still much stronger than him but to these experts, the team tournament was much more important since they had a club to represent.

Both of these game Gods were already eliminated a week ago, Raining Sword\'s full focus was on the team final but shockingly, the Blue Autumn Team suffered a shock defeat in the semifinals, being knocked out of the tournament.

The team who knocked them out, Team Glory was a new team to the professional scene, they were the true darkhorse of the tournament.

They would be fighting against the Fish Trout team in the final tomorrow.

Having suffered a team heartbreak already, this final was Ghost Sentry\'s last chance to truly prove himself. Getting to this stage of the tournament, to many, he already proved himself but he was ambitious, he wanted more.

"I must win this final!" He declared.

As soon as their names were called out, he stood up and got prepared to leave but as a ritual of his, he checked his faction shop one last time.

"Huh? New items?" He was surprised.

[Special Good: Reflex Elixir!]

[Price: 10,000 Experience Points!]

[Special Good: Battle Instinct Elixir!]

[Price: 10,000 Experience Points!]

Due to the time limit since they were already called out, he could not read the full effects of this so-called elixirs but he did not waste time, he bought them.

If there was one thing that Ghost Sentry had learned, it was that Legolas never cheated them, his goods were always worth the price.

After this last purchase, he entered the battle arena.

He could feel his opponent\'s energy from afar, Valkyrie with his long spear was energetic and pumped. His opponent\'s energy left him feeling challenged, his blood burned hotter as he prepared for battle.

A second later, their clash started!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Ghost Sentry and Valkyrie were caught in a stalemate.

As one of the players in Team Glory, to Ghost Sentry, this was not just a personal battle but was a grudge battle also to take revenge on behalf of his team.

Knowing what was at stake, both players gave their all.

The atmosphere in the spectator stands was fiery as the fans yelled at the top of their voices, supporting the player from their team. Both players beat each other up till their health points went below 10%, dropping to red.

This was when a tiny difference in ability would matter.

Valkyrie charged forward with his spear as he seemed to become the envoy of a goddess. Having lost grip of his sword, Ghost Sentry felt lost even as his blood pumped faster as his opponent charged towards him.

The thought of losing briefly flashed through his mind but he vehemently rejected it, this was when he remembered something.

[You have ingested Special Elixir: Battle Instinct Elixir!]

Bzzz!

Instantly, Ghost Sentry changed.

For a moment, Valkyrie was shocked as his opponent seemed to turn into a fearsome and fearless predator. The sudden new battle instincts that he gained felt foreign to Ghost Sentry but he had no trouble channeling it in battle.

Just before the spear could hit, Ghost Sentry twisted to an impossible angle, dodging the stab by the skin of his teeth.

With one hand, he grabbed the spear and with the other hand, he used his opponent\'s momentum against him, slamming him to the ground with force.

Bam!

Before Valkyrie could react, Ghost Sentry raised the spear higher and stabbed. Valkyrie didn\'t even see it coming, he died to his own spear.

[Winner: Ghost Sentry!]

Fans of the Blue Autumn team went crazy!

"Sentry!" "Sentry!" "Sentry!"

The victory was indeed a memorable and bombastic one.
