Chapter 48 Levelling up, Ambush?

[Your summon 'Hank' has respawned and is now available for summoning.]

A wide grin spread across his face as he read the notification with a contented sigh. "Finally, my only normal summon is back!"

He didn't hesitate, quickly starting the summoning of Hank, his loyal hawk.

Pausing for a moment, Arthur's grin widened mischievously. "Might as well bring Neko back too. Even though she's an arrogant little furball."

"Besides..." He smirked, "having a primordial beast around has its perks."

With a wave of his hand, a glowing summoning circle formed pulsating with power. Seconds later, a majestic hawk burst into existence, its wings flaring as it let out a triumphant screech.

"Hank!" Arthur exclaimed, his joy evident.

The hawk didn't waste a moment, swooping down and circling around Arthur. It landed briefly on his shoulder, pecking at him lightly before launching into the air again and repeating the attack.

"Alright, alright! I missed you too, buddy!" Arthur laughed, ducking to avoid Hank's relentless pecks, his hands raised in surrender.

Waving his hands again, another summoning circle formed. And Neko leapt gracefully into the room.

The white cat stretched lazily, her glowing golden eyes glancing at Arthur and Hank for a brief second before ignoring them.

After summoning them, Arthur headed to the forest to level up.

'I need to level up to level 5 today, I can't slack. I still have that mission that John gave me,' Arthur thought, as he walked towards the gate.

Arthur walked through the village, his summons drawing attention from all directions.

The female players nearby watched with expressions of envy and awe.

"These summons are so damn cute!!" one player squealed, her eyes sparkling.

"I know!" another chimed in, clasping her hands together. "I heard there is a summoning class you can choose later. Once I reach level 5, I will pick Summoner as my class!"

Arthur glanced at Borak who looked hesitant but still followed his orders. Arthur then shifted his gaze and secretly glanced at the level 4 Wild Boar in front of him.

'It's a male Wild Boar, no wonder why he looked hesitant.' Arthur chuckled slightly.

After activating his [Horde Lead (Common] Skill and his [Leader (C-Rank)] Talent, Borak approached the Wild Boar that was eating a weak, tiny corroded rabbit.

Seeing Borak approached, the Wild Boar immediately got aggressive. But his aggression did not last long, as Borak let out a deep growl that seemed to shake the Wild Boar in front of him.

Arthur smirked as he observed. "Oh no, it looks like I just ruined Borak's harem-building dreams. I added a dude to his horde, heh."

Borak growled deeply, asserting dominance through a series of grunts and snorts. The Level 4 Wild Boar resisted initially, but after a tense minute, it succumbed, bowing its head.

"Good work," Arthur said. "This is going to make farming so much faster."

Arthur glanced at Borak, whose posture seemed to sag slightly as he stood beside his only horde member.

'Sorry, bud,' Arthur thought, feeling slightly bad. 'Your harem can wait. My farming can't.'

"Alright, new plan," he said, straightening up. "Lead your new... companion and go hunting. Anything you see—monsters, players... well, only if they attack you first—take them down."

He stomped a hoof, signalling his understanding. The newly subdued wild boar, now under Borak's leadership, followed obediently as the two dashed into the forest.

After seeing Borak dash, Arthur headed deeper into the forest.

"From the news I've been hearing, the next mobs I will be encountering should be the wolves. The weakest are level 4, whilst the strongest are currently unknown... or better put not talked about." Arthur muttered to himself, before heading deeper with Hank scouting ahead just in case.

...

Unbeknownst to Arthur, a group of players were trailing him.

Their movements were careful, their presence cloaked by their leader's B-Rank Talent Camouflage, which made them bypass Hank's C-Rank Talent Scout.

"Hey," one of them whispered, his voice barely audible. "He's heading really deep into the forest. That's wolves' territory, right? Even we will have a tough time if we run into a pack."
