Netherworld Summoner

Until it was split into two by the sword light, the Beetle Killer's eyes widened in disbelief.

'No way. So you're that strong?'

Then why did you become a borderline OB when I beat up your teammate just now?

If I had known that you were so powerful, I wouldn't have rushed forward. I would have run away!

Moonlight returned her sword to its sheath and silently retreated to You Chu's side, as if she had done something insignificant.

You Chu noticed that the spear that the Beetle killer had sent flying by Moonlight had been thrown aside. He stepped forward and picked it up.

He did not expect the system to help him identify the texture of the spear.

[Black Mountain Iron Mine]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Introduction: Often used to make rock clans, earth attribute spell tablets, or some trap tablets.]

As everyone knew that cards could not be transferred to others, the most valuable things that Summoners could obtain in the alternate space were all kinds of materials.

Some of the special ingredients, related equipment, and card-creating materials on the market were mostly from various alternate spaces. It had been like this since ancient times.

Even if he could not use the materials that the Summoners had obtained from the alternate dimension, he could sell them to the local Summoners in the city.

This was the first time he had obtained his first harvest from a dimensional dungeon so quickly. You Chu picked up the spear happily and carried it on his shoulder. However, he heard a cracking sound.

This spear actually cracked…

It was broken off from the point of impact when the spear was sent flying by Moonlight.

Stunned, You Chu picked up the two broken pieces of the spear and examined them again.

[Black Mountain Iron Mine (Damaged)]

He then looked at the introduction board and added, "The materials have been damaged. It might affect the quality of the cards or increase the failure rate."

Huh? Shouldn't this spear be smelted into raw materials before being used to create cards?

How could the material be damaged when it was broken?

You Chu could only guess that it might be because Moonlight was too strong and the spell energy that was injected into it damaged the material itself.

But in any case, since the system had judged it damaged, there could be no mistake.

You Chu could not help but feel a little dejected.

He could imagine that the value of the damaged materials would definitely be discounted. He didn't know how much this spear was originally worth, nor did he know how much he would lose if it was damaged…

But it felt like he had lost a hundred million.

Although Moonlight didn't quite understand what had happened, she understood that her Summoner didn't seem very happy, so she lowered her head in remorse.

Moonlight: Just admit your mistake. JPG.

"…Alright, it's not your fault." You Chu sighed and put away the broken spear. "But if you encounter such a situation again in the future, try to disarm yourself first. Don't damage the materials…"

"… Well… Of course, I mean when you have absolute confidence in beating the other party…"

Moonlight nodded obediently.

So they continued on their way.

It didn't take them long to discover a new target.

Two Beetle killers this time, looking like a pair.

The two were quite alert.

Perhaps they had long noticed that outsiders had invaded their territory, so they were on high alert for them.

They had noticed You Chu and Moonlight from a distance, and the enemy didn't seem to notice their presence.

It was now or never!

The two Beetle killers quickly exchanged opinions and reached a consensus. One of them raised his spear, while the other unsheathed his sword and sped up to take their heads…

Crack!

Halfway through, one of the Beetle killers suddenly missed a step and lost his balance, falling into the pit with a bang.

"He fell for it." You Chu chuckled and turned around.

Of course, he had already noticed the two fools behind him. Earlier, he had only pretended not to notice and deliberately lure them closer. One of them had indeed fallen into the trap he laid.

Of course, You Chu's trap was not as low as simply digging a pit on the road.

He used this opportunity to test the trap plate [Fallen], which he had refined not long ago. It had the effect of causing an enemy who triggered the trap to fall into a pit.

Trap cards were not a particularly popular classification among Summoners, because such cards, as they were called, were traps that needed to be set up in advance to work.

The use of the trap card would only take effect when the Summoner had set the card in the environment in advance and lured the enemy into the effective range of the trap card and fulfilled the trigger conditions of the card.

'Like a mousetrap.'

Many trap cards looked powerful, but they were not that useful in practice.

First, the trap cards had to be set before they could be used. That was already a bit of a tricky limitation. It meant that the trap's effectiveness might be significantly reduced halfway through the PK—after all, the man wasn't blind and wasn't likely to step on the trap he was watching you set in front of him.

Therefore, the best way to use a trap board was to find a dueling ground in advance, set up a trap, and then think of a way to lure the enemy into this predetermined terrain to fight.

For example, fighting in the field like this was a better opportunity to play the trap cards.

The Beetle Killers weren't very bright, but even with its limited intelligence it realised what was going on –

—I've been set up!

Despicable invader!

But it didn't matter.

"Fall" was a basic trap of [Ordinary] quality, which was relatively common in many dimensions. The Beetle Killer in the Dark Forest had also seen similar traps, and it knew that there was nothing to be afraid of in such a low-level trap.

Wasn't it just a hole?

Watch me jump out!

The pit created by the trap card was about four meters deep. At this depth, it could totally jump out…

But soon it realized something was wrong.

It was just about to jump when it felt that its lower body was sticky and covered in some kind of sticky and thick unknown liquid.

It was even more surprised to find that it was stuck to the liquid. It couldn't even lift its legs, let alone jump out.

Beetle Killers: "???"

What the hell did this despicable invader lay in the pit?

It had to be known that the effect function of any card was sealed in advance. In theory, it was impossible to change it casually.

Take this simple trap card, Pit. After this trap is set, the Summoner can choose to activate it when any enemy steps into the effective range of the trap.

After the trap was activated, it would transform into a deep pit at the feet of the target, catching the enemy off guard.

The entire function process had been set up. It wasn't like summoners could add whatever they wanted to the pit.

In fact, You Chu did not expect that this card was clearly refined according to the exact same card creating formula as the other party. However, for some reason, the trap summoned by the card he refined seemed to be covered in super glue…

One down, one to go.

The fact that its teammate had been tricked further stimulated the remaining Beetle Killer's fighting spirit. It roared angrily and swung its long saber at You Chu's face.

"Activate the spell card 'Fireball'." You Chu immediately shot out a card to counterattack.

This card was a more common card—probably a basic skill for Summoners in all the worlds.

The remaining Beetle Killer did not take this mere fireball seriously. It casually waved its saber and tried to disperse the fireball, but unexpectedly…

SQUEAK!!! It let out a sharp, strange scream.

A flash of light exploded coldly from the dissipating fireball. The charging Beetle Killer fell instantly, howling and clutching at his eyes.

Although he couldn't understand what it was shouting, You Chu could guess that it was probably wailing "my 24K titanium alloy dog eyes" or something.

Both Beetle Killers were confused.

It was fine if there was super glue in the pit, but what the hell was the blinding effect of the Fireball Card!?

'That's ridiculous!'

Was this guy a Summoner summoned from the Netherworld?
