Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 220 - Eva's Solution, Tria's Body Expansion Skill

Inside the Beast Tattoo, Eva immediately started cultivating. She no longer cared about the outside as she focused herself on the matter at hand. 

Ban told her and Tria earlier about his current predicament of being unable to absorb essence until he completed the mission or until he cured his damaged spine and Energy Core. 

Knowing that, Eva would naturally not sit still and just leave things as it was. She was fully aware of her title, 'First Mate', which allowed Ban to raise his level directly, if Eva somehow managed to surpass him. 

Her plan was simple, cultivate diligently and help raise Ban's level by raising her own. 

Just as Ban instructed, Eva cultivated in an area far away from the Unknown Egg. After all, even though it has already become his contracted Beast, Ban was still afraid that something might go awry. He also instructed Eva that if she felt that something was amiss, she was to inform her directly using their connection. 

Eva also complied as she herself was a little afraid of that Unknown Egg. It was fear due to the latter being stronger than her, but it was fear that came from a deeper level than that. 

In comparison, it was the same feeling how Normal Grade Beasts and Monsters feel innate fear towards her as Queen Candidate of the Demon Ant. 

Naturally, she also informed Ban about this. It was also the reason why he instructed Eva to cultivate far away, just to be safe. 

However, knowing that even Eva who was a Queen Candidate, an equivalent to Quasi Lord Grade or Semi Lord Grade Beast was also afraid of it, Ban was now more certain that the Beast that will hatch from the Egg will be a powerful one. 

Even if its Rank would also start at X-Mortal, its grade would surely be the same or even above that of Eva at the moment, which was the Quasi Lord Grade. With that in mind, Ban was extremely pleased as he basically got a Quasi Lord Grade or Lord Grade Beast for free. 

This thought motivated him to kill Elite Grade F-Apprentice Rank and above Beasts to let the Unknown Egg hatch faster. 

However, his thoughts also came to wonder about how such an Egg appeared in that place? 

Did the Two-Tailed Rats really bring it over there or the Unknown Egg brought the Two-Tailed Rats there? In that case, where did it come from? Ban felt that the Unknown Egg's origin was not as simple as he thought. 

Anyways, there was no use thinking about it now. Although he felt curious about it, he would not really go and trouble himself to investigate the matter. What was important was that the Unknown Egg was already his. He fully trusted the words of the System where it said that any Beast who was contracted through the Blood Contractor Skill would not betray. 

The moment they become contracted with the Blood Contractor Skill, their life was already tied to Ban and no matter what they do, they would no longer be able to free themselves, unless Ban willingly does so. 

After settling Eva down, Ban no longer keeps an eye on her as he orders Tria to transform. Their target location was already set and with Tria's speed, they should be able to reach it earlier than expected. 

"Tria, use Body Expansion!"

Hearing Ban's order, Tria's eyes gleamed before she soared a few meters in front of him. 

A dazzling light suddenly emitted from her small body before it gradually expanded to something that was as big as the Enrage Crocodile from before. 

After a few seconds, the dazzling light slowly retreated as Tria's body was revealed from within. 

Aside from getting bigger, her form did not change that much. However, Ban noticed that her color had changed. From a mixture of blue red and black, it was now entirely black and red. 

The blue color was fully discarded and looking at it now- her size and color, it seems that her race name being Giant Red Dragonfly was true after all.

Her wings in particular have become a dazzling red with some spots of black. If Eva was here, she would surely feel threatened by the sight of this, as the beauty of her wings would only be grade higher than Tria. One must note that Eva was a Quasi Lord, while Tria was only a Normal Grade Beast at the moment.

One should also note that Beasts of Quasi Lord and Lord Grades often wanted to either beautify or uglify themselves depending on preferences along with the increase of their Rank and Grade. Eva was part of the former, while the Lord Grade Beast, Night Worm was part of the latter. 

And for Tria to already have these wings, one could imagine what kind of wings she will boast when she reaches the Lord Grade in the future. 

From the previous size, Tria's has significantly become bigger. True to the sense of her skill name being Body Expansion. 

Her head to the end of her tail easily reached 7 meters, with her wingspan surpassing even that. 

At the center of her forewing and hindwing was a small hollow like part that was formed by Tria's exoskeleton. The cave-in itself was black in color while there was a little red outline signifying the end of the hollow formed from her exoskeleton. There were also two little bumps in front of that hollow, almost like it was placed there purposely.

From what Ban recalled from the knowledge injected to his brain by the System, this hollow was where the rider should sit during flight. While the two little bumps in front of it were where he can hold to not fall during flight. 

Even though Tria soared in the air earlier, after her Body Expansion, her six legs still reached the land beneath. However, it was not a problem for her as she also landed directly the moment the light of transformation disappeared. 

Her wings were spread open, and were even slightly kept, waiting for Ban to hop onboard. 

Tria's now super large eyes gleamed as she urged Ban to board her special express. 

If she could talk right now, she would surely say 'Ride me, Master!'
