[ Job specific skill ] modified. The host is now an official [ Summoner: Ancient Abyss Summoner ]."
"Cooool!!!!" Adam can't help but shout after seeing his new skills and said, " Even the uncle skeletons had their own upgrade."
After getting such awesome skills, his hands are getting itchy and wants to try all of them.
" [ Summon: Abyssal silver skeleton ], [ Summon: Ancient Devil Bug ] " Adam directly used his skills making the place within a kilometer to be shrouded by dark mists so thick that the grass on the ground can't even be seen.
From the congested mist, shiny silver skeletons slowly pull their selves from the ground and bugs as big as an adult fist flew straight above Adam forming a well ordered square showing their professionalism as a choreographed group.
Thinking how these creature had gone to rigorous practice to perform this well executed salute, Adam directly praised the system's customer service quality.
To give visual impact on the situation Adam raised his right hand with his palm face down making a command action for a bow. And the bugs and skeleton, trained under strict management, performed what Adam just want to see earning a wide grin from him.
" Uncle skeletons and these little bug brothers are really perfect for concerts and major events as highlights back on Earth." Too bad his not there. He could really earn a lot accepting talent fees for this.
After checking his new abilities, he directly cancel the skill and the skeletons and bugs burst into black smoke returning to the ground. Adam contemplated whether the black smoke are dangerous to the environment and the grass might be damaged.
After waiting for some time, there was no changes to the grass and Adam directly added the black smoke as another visual effect made by the system to receive higher rating.

Adam was very satisfied after seeing his [ status ]. He then focus on the skill [ Contract Summon: Abyss Demons ].
He didn't have the chance to see the effect of special summon last time because each summon can only last for 2 hours. He intended to keep it as an ace but fortunately he didn't have the chance to do so.
Now that contract summon had no time limit it's time to see it's effect.
" [ Contract Summon : Abyss Demons ]." Adam lightly said.
Suddenly a dark red rune circle glows on the ground where Adam stood. Adam only felt a slight chill during the summoning rites then suddenly a mass of blood rises from the ground slowly forming a figure. It slowly solidified and the dark red glowing blood dimmed enabling Adam to see what his first contract summon look likes.
The summon in front of him is a knight kneeling in one knee swearing allegiance
" Demon Knight Arthus.... had seen the [ Lord ]. " the summon said in a very deep and husky voice like the man or creature clad in the dark armor with red blood design on its armor had never spoken for a long time.
" Oh hey there! Welcome to this world which I still don't know too at the moment." Adam said truthfully with the usual casualness.
" Your armor is really nice. There are even smoking visual effect in your body. How did you do that?" he curiously asked.
" Back... to the [ lord ]... Your knight, Arthus.. is an embodiment.. of the darkness of the Abyss. What your seeing my lord... is the intangible form.. of Arthus."
" You're a logia user!" Adam said with his eyes twinkling.
" Lo...gia?" Arthus asked in confusion.
" It's nothing. One of the world's greatest secret that only the God's had knowledge of. You don't have to sweat about it." Adam said keeping the information from a certain pirate world.
" I see... The vision of the [ Lord ]... is not something the lowly Arthus..can touch. The [ Lord ] is mighty..." Adam said full of awe towards his master.
" Geez. Your soar throat is really bad. You want me to boil some herbs for you. There might be one of those inside this garden." Adam said with concern.
" The [ lord ].. doesn't need to trouble.. about Arthus.."
" Well, you can stand up. It's hard talking to you when you're kneeling. " It's quite uncomfortable talking to Arthus like this.
Hearing that the [ lord ] is uncomfortable with his kneeling, Arthus immediately stood up.
Seeing the towering figure in front of Adam, he contemplated whether he should ask Arthus to kneel Again. ' It's more straining to the neck when looking up.'
With his current height 5'7, Arthus stood more than a foot taller than him. It's like the manifestation of the saying ' that there are taller mountains than you' is being showcase in front of Adam.
' Making him kneel down will make me look so unreasonable. To keep my dignity I can only wrong my neck.'
That day made Adam realize that when talking with Arthus, it doesn't matter if you won't look at his face. ' I'm not without manners, it is that not looking at the face of tall people is basic operation'
