Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 175 - Robbery?

Four guys with a moderate build approached them with unfriendly gazes. Following behind them or beside them was each of their summons, equally emitting dangerous growls as they stared at Ban and Emilia. 

The area they were in right now can somewhat be called an abandoned alley. Away from the eyes of the people and a perfect place for an ambush. 

When Ban thought about it now, he could not help but shake his head

He got careless. 

He was so immersed by their conversation that he somehow ignored the direction they were going. And now, they arrived at this perfect ambush spot. 

And as expected, just like what the author of that book said, 

'Dating a beauty is really wonderful, however, one must be careful of the accompanying dangers as well. For example, just prepare to bump into arrogant young masters that somehow have a crush on the girl you were dating and now that he saw both of you together, you now need to die. A friendly reminder, before dating a beautiful girl, you must be sure that you'll be able to protect yourself and her during such times when these tribulations called 'young masters' appeared.' 

These guys may not look like a young master but they definitely look troublesome.

Emilia immediately sensed the danger and she immediately took a dagger from god knows where. She held Ban's hand and moved him behind her as if to protect him from the approaching people. 

Each of the four people also drew out their weapons to protect themselves as their summons went in front of them taking battle stances. 

"Haha, we got lucky, Step-bro, look at that kid's Storage Pouch that was filled to the brim, there must be valuable resources stored in there!" One of them said while licking his upper lips. 

"I told you this is a perfect spot, didn't I? In just one day, we have already managed to rob items that are worth more than 1,000 Gold Coins," the guy with a scar on his chest said proudly. 

"Haha, shut up, Scar-chest, if it wasn't for me, you would not even dare to come here!" The leader, Step-bro said with a laugh. 

After saying that, Step-bro then turned towards the last member who was beside him. 

"Brok, you're the one who sold the items from that shabby shop right? How much exactly did we earn?" 

"Just 35 Gold Coins short of reaching 1000!" Brok said while throwing a bulging pouch full of Gold Coins towards the air. 

Seeing that, the others could not help but emit greedy gazes. 

The four of them talked as if Ban and Emilia were not there. 

Seeing that, Ban wanted to immediately run while they were busy talking. 

However, he saw that even though Emilia was putting up a brave front, she was actually shaking a little due to fear. And it also looked like she doesn't have the plan to run either 

"Ban, be alert! I don't know how they managed to enter the city but they definitely are from the Dark Guild. I can't be mistaken!" She said with a nervous yet full of hatred voice. 

Ban recalled the story that was told by Boss Mario and realized the reason for her deep hatred towards the Dark Guild. 

"Let's run!" Ban suddenly said. 

"We can run, but can we really escape? There are four of them and one of their Summon is even a mount-type summon." 

"Don't worry, just stay behind me at all times, I'll protect you. Although I'm not an adventurer, I'm still an E-Elite Rank Summoner, you know. And even though my monkey is not a combat-type monster that doesn't have any combat skills, it still knows how to fight!" 

"Sigh, alright! But you don't have to protect me, I'm a combat-type summoner after all, how can I let you fight for me?" 

As he said that, a beautiful dagger suddenly materialized in his hands. To avoid suspicion, Ban even deliberately tried to act as if he took it from his Storage Pouch. 

"Are you sure? You just awakened a few days ago right? You must know that the moment a Summoner joins the Dark Guild, their strength would immediately be boosted to the second rank, F-Apprentice Rank due to the ceremony that they will undergo!" Emilia said. 

Ban just smiled after hearing her. He just discovered that Emilia really wasn't cold, just like what she shows in the Keys Bar. 

She's very talkative and now, holding that dagger in her delicate hands, she looked very fierce yet cute at the same time paired with that serious expression on her beautiful face. 

"Hey, get serious, if things get worse, you can just leave me behind and then ask for help if you manage to. Sigh, forget it. Just don't fight and try to escape if they get distracted, alright?" Emilia said with a worried tone. 

Her Server Monkey has already landed in front of her, with its thin arms and body, it bravely glared at the four Dark Guild members not far away from them. 

"Alright, alright! Jeez, I'm also a Summoner you know?" Ban said with a light tone. 

He raised the beautiful dagger up in the air as if on a battle stance as Eva jumped down from his head. 

She glared at the four Dark Guild members' monsters calmly as if everything was under her control. 

Using the System and the book of techniques, he has already identified the name and the weakness of the Monster of the enemy. 

The only thing that he needs to look out now was that transformation thing that Delo used before. However, Belle stated before that only members who are E-Elite Rank and above are the only ones who possess those kinds of 'stones.'

And looking at the four of them, none of them haven't reached that rank yet. And in truth, even their Summons only has the upper limit of F-Apprentice Rank and it was even forcibly raised, according to the System. 

That was why Ban wasn't worried at all. He only wanted to escape with Emilia before as he doesn't want to reveal his F-Apprentice strength yet. 

But seeing that Emilia doesn't have any intention of escaping, he also could only stay. 

Hearing their conversation, the leader of the pack, Step-bro, suddenly frowned. 

"You certainly know a lot, girl!" 

"Change of plan, eliminate them immediately! We can't allow them to report us or else the plan might get affected!" 

A fierce and ruthless expression suddenly surfaced on the face of the other three Dark Guild members as they stared at the duo. 

Before, they were only planning to rob them of their things to earn extra money. None of them expected that the girl was actually able to recognize them at first glance. 

"Attack!" 

Step-bro yelled and pointed the short sword on his hand towards Ban and Emilia. 

"Scratch Attack!" He yelled again and in an instant, the monster below him ran at an extreme speed towards Ban and Emilia. 

The other three also did not wait as they each launched their own attack towards them. 

"Swipe!" 

"Tail Whip!"

"Head Smash!" 

Emilia also did not wait for their monster to arrive as she said in a soft but equally fierce voice. 

"Transform!" 

The Server Monkey in front of her suddenly emitted a silver light. 

Ban was very familiar with that kind of light. Every time Eva transforms from her normal form to her combat form, she would always emit that kind of light as well, although just in different colors. 

And as expected, the moment the silver light died down, an entirely new Server Monkey was presented in front of them.

From its long and thin arm, it was now very muscular. It now looked more like a small gorilla than a small monkey. 

Roar!

It's eyes were bloodshot as it smashed its chest madly. 

"Hmmp! Ripped them to pieces!" Emilia coldy said as she gazed at the four approaching Beast. 

Swoosh! 

The gorilla's body jumped forward and arrived in front of one of the enemy monsters in an instant. 

Boom! 

Using its massive and muscular arms, it punched the head of that Monster to the ground with great force. 

"Shit, her Monster has actually finished its first evolution, no wonder she's so confident in confronting us. Everyone be careful!" Step-bro suddenly said. 

Like a mad titan, the gorilla moved at an extreme speed towards another monster again. This time, it was the monster of Scar-chest, a dog-like monster that has a tail full of spikes.

"Tail Whip!" 

Scar-chest hurriedly said seeing the gorilla approaching his monster. 

His monster, the spike dog, followed his order and immediately spun its body to attack the gorilla with the tail whip skill.

However, the gorilla easily evaded it and immediately punched the stomach of the dog monster, causing it to hurriedly retreat in panic and fear. 

However, it suddenly realized that the punch of the gorilla does not seem to hurt so much.

"That must be a skill that heavily strains its body, the longer the battle, the slower and the weaker it will become. Just hold out everyone, after its transformation subsided, it will be our turn to attack!" Scar-chest said after careful observation.

The other three immediately nodded their heads as they just tried to toy around the transformed gorilla. They would bait it to attack and then immediately retreat to expend its energy easily. 

Emilia bit her lower lip as what Scar-chest said was actually the truth. Her monster was not a combat-type monster in the first place and it only managed to transform like that due to a unique skill it learned after it evolved while observing one of Kuys' summons. 

The Skill only lasted for 30 seconds and the strength it brought was not even that great. And after the 30 seconds ended, her gorilla would immediately feel fatigue all over its body and it would then slowly revert back to its normal appearance. 

Seeing the situation, the four Dark Guild members suddenly laughed so hard that they even clutched their stomachs.

They were now celebrating their victory, they somehow forgot that Emilia was not alone. 

At this moment, two silhouettes could be seen creeping towards them in a silent manner.
