Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 217 - Rila

Of course, after the arrival of the two, they only glanced at them for an instant before they resumed what they were doing. Some of them also deliberately asked what happened, including the other customers that were fans of the two.

Their Family Head, Kuys, also acted as if nothing had happened and even inquired them about what had happened even though he was already aware of it. 

And after the two of them left upstairs, that same rise of temperature appeared yet again. The other customers immediately fled after some time and the only people who remained were all members of the Glorious Panda Family. 

"You know what to do!" 

Hearing those, all of them no longer lingered, as just like what the family head said, they already knew what to do. 

And so the massive killing started right after they went out. 

And just before the sun rises, they were all already finished on their task. They only targeted the low to middle ranking members this time, due to the time constraint as well as the fact that the attack was so sudden. 

However, counting all of the targets they killed, there should be around a hundred or so scattered around the city. 

This number might seem a lot, but it was actually just the tip of the iceberg. From the years that they went silent, the Dark Guild was also actually expanding their member counts. 

The 100 or so Dark Guild members only served as their warning. They wanted to convey a message to the upper echelon of the Dark Guild that was residing in the city that they should beware, as the Glorious Panda Family was already aware of their existence. 

No one can hide anymore. They can only wait. 

Especially on the Adventurers Guild as well as the family that runs it. 

They even purposely left dozens of bodies in front of the Adventurers Guild Hall as a weaning and a threat, before disappearing like a smoke. 

After that, each of them returned to their own 'normal' lifestyles. The vendors returned to being vendors, the guards returned to being a guard, those who pretended to be crazy went crazy, those who pretended to be a useless old hag became a useless old hag again. 

They might be acting that way for now, but the moment they were summoned by family head Kuys, they would instantly respond, no questions asked. It was because they respected and admired their Family Head from the bottom of their heart.

Just when Rila thought that there would still be some time before the next 'attack', she was suddenly surprised when the Family Head summoned her to the Kuys Bar. 

And when she thought that the reason was because he wanted her to kill another Dark Guild member, she was surprised yet again when the task given to her was to protect this child named Ban. 

As a senior member, Rila immediately realized the real reason why she was tasked to protect Ban. It was to prevent him from being kidnapped by their enemy and use him as a bargaining chip for the battle to come. 

After Ban left the Kuys Bar, she immediately followed him closely, not daring to lose him in her sight. 

She witnessed him changing to that strange get up before he witnessed him entering Rendal's blacksmith shop. 

Although she was surprised by his actions, she did not interfere with him as her job this time was to protect him and not to meddle with his business. 

And besides, by how powerful their Family Head was, she guessed that he was already aware of his actions. 

And so, she maintained a distance as he followed behind him. 

She was yet again surprised at his battle against those two robbers. For someone his age, Rila admits that he was definitely the most powerful she had seen. Especially after seeing that beautiful red dagger, in which even she herself felt threatened by it. 

'As expected of Family Head's adopted son. He surely has his entire support, even giving him some Skills and even that dangerous dagger!' 

Witnessing how Ban got rid of the two opponents, she started to take a liking to the boy, and admired the Family Head even more for raising such a talent. 

After a while, she witnessed his battle against those bats, and then on his tactics during that fight of the crocodiles. 

His efficient method, timings, precise movements, his Skills, his transforming Ant Monster, his Monster Tattoo and a lot of strange things that Rila herself did not know of. She witnessed all of them in full glory.

At first, she only took a liking to him due to the fact that he already has that kind of prowess while still being at that age, however, that thought of hers did not last that long. 

As time passed by, the more she felt that she was seeing things. 

"Am I actually witnessing the world of a Class S Genius first hand? And here I thought I was already a one time genius by reaching D-Master Rank at a young age of 25, but compared to his talent right now and his battle prowess… Sigh, why was the difference so big?" 

"Family Head, is the real reason why you tasked me to protect him was actually just to broaden my horizon? Sigh, protect my ass… this kid can even come and go as he pleases in the territory of those crocodiles, he doesn't need any protection at all."

"If the Dark Guild really plans on kidnapping this child, then they better send two or three of their upper echelon or else… forget about kidnapping him, even laying a hand on him would still be a question."

Atop the branches, leaning on the trunk, Rila could only sigh in defeat. 

If not for the fact that the Ban was their Family Head's adopted grandson, Rila might have thought of killing him right here and right now. With a talent and genius like that, it would only be a matter of time before he became strong enough to threaten them, which was something she wouldn't allow. Fortunately, Ban was one of them. 

Ban was inside the cave at the moment, Rila no longer knew what was happening inside as Ban sealed the only entrance of the cave with a huge rock.

Rila questioned whether she was still needed here. However, she shook her head a while later, and sat crossed leg atop the branch. Without a Beast Core in her position, she actually started cultivating actively by absorbing the 'Energy' that was present on the air.
