On The Edge

"Ok folks, let's take a short pause."

"Let's recap what we've just witnessed," Marcus said, trying to steady his voice.

"Darven, after an intense battle with the Crimson Berserk Ape, managed to turn the tide with his incredible lightning breath and then transformed into a humanoid form, showing us a whole new level of his power."

"And his finishing move," Elena spoke up, "this 'Valor-Void Sword Art,'—I've never seen anything like it. The speed, the power... It was like he became a bolt of lightning himself."

"Absolutely, Elena. And now he's returning to Alister. This shows just how strong his sense of loyalty is. What we have come to learn from this is that not only are Alister's summons intelligent, they seem to have a genuine high opinion of him, which is why they are so obedient. Unlike other monsters where the summoner constantly needs to establish a sense of dominance to prevent their monsters from acting out of line."
