Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"Huh?" He paused, raising his head from the book.

President Dunk inclined his head to look at his personal assistant, it was rare for her to sound this excited. "What?"

"Legolas did it". She repeated.

"Legolas?"

"Yes, he\'s now a Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner!"

President Dunk\'s eyes widened; he finally understood the reason for her excitement as he stood up and turned his back to her.

"Phew!" He released a breath that he never knew he had been holding since.

"He did it". He whispered to himself, feeling complicated.

Picking up the book that he was previously reading through, he placed it up as mechanical tentacles appeared out of the air, holding it in place.

A single scan later, a virtual projection appeared in the air projecting the contents of the book.

President Dunk sighed as he looked at it.

There were lots of notes in the book but the most eye-catching things were the diagrams of strange spherical objects.

There were over a hundred spherical objects projected and they were mostly of green colors but of this hundred, at this moment, 8 were painted red and were blinking ominously, while 3 were pitch-black.

The President\'s assistant remained quiet as he looked at this.

For the past few days, he kept on looking at it.

"Planet Kronic Beam Ring, a victim…" He muttered.

"Planet Cloudy Gaze, lost…, imploded". He muttered softly.

"Planet Tierney Fingers, devoid of life".

He looked at the virtual projection again. "Planet Whimsical Roulette, lost".

"Planet Tickenadon…"

"Planet Gigatumiden…"

He paused, no longer muttering as everything replayed in his head.

Almost every other day, new news came to him.

Not news of victory, but of losses.

Losses upon losses, deaths, planets now devoid of life.

Since the advent of the Beast Coalition and their first public appearance, the situation in the Nak State had kept on spiraling from bad to worse.

More planets were attacked, the Beast Coalition made more ridiculous demands, and even more beasts rampaged across the Nak territories.

Every single day, the situation of the state kept on spiraling downward.

At some point, their temporary allies, the Ackermann State already made the suggestion to go all out and unleash their hidden weapons but President Dunk resisted it, unleashing their hidden weapons meant all-out war.

Till now, President Dunk believed that an external party supported the Beast Coalition which was the only possible explanation for their rapid rise.

It was the only way they could go under their radar while building power for so long, anything else was just not logical.

He held his allies back from doing anything rash because of one person.

The Summoner, Army Commander Legolas.

"He\'s now become a Grade B+ Summoner huh?" He muttered.

"That\'s a week early".

"Is he now ready to direct the mission?"

…

Planet Gogunheim…

It was still night, Planet Gogunheim was still mostly silent but dangerous as cannibalism continued in the forest but a new variable was around again.

At this moment, in another region of this forest, a swamp with tall trees, a figure of a Swamp Frog with humanoid features levitated in the air.

His flight was smooth and effortless.

There were no aggressive mana fluctuations, it seemed natural.

In this part of the forest, there were some infamous beasts called the Vanishing Snakes. These ambush hunters had a rare talent for stealth and staying hidden, they were some of the only beasts that could kill Warpsnares here.

At this moment, this Swamp Frog hunted for a Vanishing Snake.

He had been levitating motionlessly in the air for 15 minutes.

At the 17th minute, one appeared.

The tree leaf barely shook and his eyes darted there.

-----

You have activated special ability: Shademark!

----

The hidden beast suddenly paused, having detected something as his presence faded completely yet the Swamp Frog kept on levitating silently.

About 5 minutes later, the beast moved again.

This time, there were no fluctuations in the forest, Legolas knew only because of the mark that he already left on the body of this beast.

-----

You have activated special ability: Compulsion!

Calculating Intelligence…, please wait…

Calculation complete!

You have compulsed beast: Dark-Wing Eagle!

----

The Vanishing Snake never noticed it but as it moved around the forest, looking for prey to kill, a bunch of predators were already stalking it.

A Dark-Wing Eagle followed it from the skies.

2 Dark Wargs followed him from the ground, including a Stone Porcupine even as they all kept a respectable distance to keep him oblivious to it.

As for the number one culprit of this all, he remained levitating in the skies.

As more time passed, he started noticing changes in the Vanishing Snake.

This beast started feeling on edge, that feeling of being stalked started seeping in, it became anxious yet despite all these, it never left a trace in the forest.

Legolas was impressed. \'Truly deserving of its name\'.

He still continued his experiment though.

-----

You have activated special ability: Partial Telepathy!

----

Instantly after he activated this ability, Legolas started hearing voices.

\'Kill!\' \'Kill!\' \'Kill!\'

\'Enemy!\' \'Enemy!\' \'Enemy!\'

\'Killer!\' \'Killer!\'

\'Hungry!\'

\'Food!\' \'Food!\'

\'Enemy!\'

There were barely coherent thoughts.

This was more than enough proof that despite being Grade B beasts already and despite the fact that this specific Vanishing Snake was a Grade B+ beast, it was yet to gain real sentience, it was just more clever than its mates.

To really read the thoughts and understand the intentions of this beast, he had to focus some more to sieve through the chaotic thought patterns.

Legolas took some time but he managed to finally grasp it.

Clearly, this Vanishing Snake already noticed that something was wrong, it was currently trying to deduce the problem. The only reason why it kept on going was because it had total confidence in its invisibility and stealth.

\'Impressive\'. Legolas was amazed.

That was all that he needed, he finally had a good grasp over the new abilities that he stole and he was absolutely satisfied with them, he no longer hesitated.

Dipping his body in the air, he dove down.

20% of his mana was sucked at once and he briefly broke the sound barrier!

BOOM!

The Vanishing Snake was shocked.

This enemy accelerated too fast for it to even think.

It was doomed!

-----

You have activated special ability: Telekinesis!

----

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Even before Legolas could arrive physically, he already started attacking.

Literal full trees were pulled out of the ground as they flailed in the air under Legolas\' basic control, causing a rampage across this forest.

Every second using telekinesis, Legolas felt a drain in his mental power.

This was the price to pay for telekinesis.

He didn\'t just blindly control things though, he did more than that. In just 2 seconds since he started controlling them, he gained more familiarity as he tore the trees apart with his mental power, forming shrapnels from them.

He hurled these deadly weapons at the Vanishing Snake who hissed in pain.

This beast was injured in no time, yet, it still got no time to think nor react.

Legolas was already here to end its life.

He was here with a Spear, one of the Swamp Frog\'s trademarks.

-----

You have activated special ability: Spear Toss!

----

The Vanishing Snake stood no chance.

BAM!

It died instantly.

Legolas looked at the spear, then at his hand. "So this is what it feels like to be a Grade B+ Summoner…, I feel so powerful".

An hour later, Legolas regrouped with his crew and left Planet Gogunheim.

His training here was over.

…

A few hours later, Planet Nak…

Inside the Presidential Villa of Nak State, at this moment, Legolas was standing before President Dunk again.

The President turned to face him. "Congratulations on becoming a Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner, your growth speed has exceeded my expectations".

Legolas smiled. "Thanks Mr. President".

"So, are you now ready to commence the mission?"

Legolas looked at the President. "I still have one week".

The President was confused. "What?"

"I still have one week from the stipulated time". Legolas repeated.

"You agreed to give me one month to train and improve on myself, the goal is to make myself powerful enough to survive the difficulty of the mission".

"Allow me to continue my training time and be at the strongest state possible".

President Dunk was silent for some time, then he nodded. "Reasonable".

Then he asked. "What is the next focus of your training?"

Legolas took a deep breath. "My bloodline".
