My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Out of the three, he crashed out the Phantom Illusion skill without any question. The illusory copy might be able to confuse the enemy beast, but how long would it last was a question he was not willing to know the answer to.

The Mirage Projection was a good option, too. Being able to create a large illusion to confuse the enemy so that they could escape unscathed. From the description, Lucas could tell that it was very powerful.

However, Lucas ultimately chose to let the Mirage Worm inherit the Unhindered Stealth skill in the end.

He did not forget that Spot was extremely powerful and could fight above his level due to his transformation skill.

Although the Unhindered Stealth skill was not a transformation skill, it at least allowed the Mirage Worm to enter a state to become with the surroundings. During that state, it would not be perceived by the enemies, and it would remain hidden so long as it did not want to be seen by others. In that state, it could also make him and Spot enter stealth and avoid the perceptions of others as well.

He just hoped that this skill would be able to hide them from the beast, though.

The skill itself might be powerful, but the star rank of his Mirage Worm might limit the skill's true capabilities.

As he heard Spot's howl of pain, Lucas no longer wasted any more time and allowed the Mirage Worm to inherit the Unhindered Stealth.

Same as before, the Mirage Worm showed no reaction after Lucas clicked and confirmed the skill of his choices.

Its tiny eyes just glowed with an ancient and profound light before dying down. It was then followed by the worm's ecstatic squirm. Although it does not have a face to show its emotion, Lucas could tell that it was extremely happy from the skill that it just inherited.

Well, it was an escape skill, after all.

Its color and markings did not change compared to before. Its whole body was blue in color, while its underside had white stripes to outline the joints of its countless legs.

The size of the Mirage Worm had visibly grown larger than before. From the previous pinky-size worm, it had now grown to a thumb-size one. Its length, though, did not seem to have increased; it was still around eight centimeters or three inches in length.

Due to that, the Mirage Worm looked like a fat and plump worm that was ready to be harvested.

As if sensing his thoughts, the Mirage Worm's fat body actually trembled as it glared at Lucas pitifully.

Lucas ignored its actions and quickly ordered.

"Quick, use the new skill and get us out of this hellhole!"

His voice was raspy and full of desperation. The pained, indignant, and defiant roars of Spot kept on entering his ears, making him feel as if it were the end of the world.

At this moment, Lucas wished nothing more than to escape the clutch of the beast.

As if sensing his desperate will, the Mirage Worm straightened its fat body as it used its newly inherited skill.

However, right at that moment, a chilling and familiar voice entered Lucas' ears.

"HAHA! I finally found you, Brat! "

Lucas turned his head toward the voice with great difficulty.

A confused expression appeared on his face, not knowing how Asher was also here. The confused expression was then followed by terror as he looked at Asher.

Aside from the vine-like creature that was still wrapped in his arms, Asher had arrived at the scene riding a humongous creature that looked quite menacing and strong.

Although Asher and his beast looked badly injured and seemed to have just gotten out of a battle, Lucas knew that he would not be able to contend with them, especially with the abominable beast still present in the area.

As despair engulfed his mind once more, he suddenly saw Asher's expression turn stiff and chaotically confused.

"WHAT?"

Not only him, another confused roar soon bellowed and shook the surroundings.

Lucas turned and realized that the abominable beast had somehow lost sight of Spot. Lucas realized that it must be the same case for Asher as well.

It was a no-brainer that the Mirage Worm had already finished casting its newly acquired skill. And the effect seemed to be quite good.

Lucas glanced at the Mirage Worm and smiled heartfully, 'Thank you!'

His lips moved, but no sound came out of it.

Although surprised, he did not bother with it.

Feeling that the Mirage Worm seemed to be struggling, Lucas realized that it must have put a stain on it when it made him and Spot enter stealth mode too.

Knowing that he could not waste such precious time any longer, Lucas stood up from his position, picked up the Mirage Worm, and put it above his shoulder.

Lucas then took a glance at where Spot was and realized that he had already transformed back to his Gentle Dog form. His body was battered and bloodied. His appearance was unkempt, and he was barely able to keep himself up. Continue your journey with empire

Now that he was already out of battle, Lucas unsummoned Spot and was successful with it.

After storing Spot inside his grimoire, Lucas did not linger in the area anymore as he slowly dragged his injured body away from this place.

He did not know the duration of the stealth mode yet, so he knew that he must get as far away as possible before the effect dies down.

In the stealth mode, both Asher and even the beast were unable to locate him, even though he was right in front of them the whole time.

The two of them looked around in confusion and anger.

Both their prey had just disappeared right in front of their eyes; how could they not feel anger over such a matter?

After a few seconds of searching and to no avail, the beast, which had probably given up on searching, suddenly turned its head toward Asher.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A grin escaped its goat mouth as its figure disappeared and reappeared right in front of Asher and his beast at the next instant.
