Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 242 - Partial Transformation Skill

After another five minutes of flying, Ban, Eva and Tria saw a float of restless Mild Tempered Crocodiles. 

Counting them all, Ban determined that there were a total of 15 of them. So including the leader and the challenger from before, there were a total of 17 of them. 

The Mild Tempered Crocodile only has two Skills being an Elite Grade Beast, they were the skill, Enraged Bite and Death Roll. Enraged Bite was self explanatory while the Death Roll Skill can only be used if they have their target on their mouth. 

By using the Skill, Death Roll, they would be able to kill or weaken their opponents by dismembering them using the force of the roll. They would rapidly roll their body sideways along with the prey on their mouth until the duration of the Skill.

As for the Lord Grade Enraged Crocodile, its third Skill was the Roar, which Ban was able to acquire after using Plunder. 

Although they were all only Elite Grades, Ban did not underestimate them. Even with Eva's help, he estimated that he would only be able to kill at least 4 of them if he used Roar to immobilize them for 30 seconds. 

After the 30 seconds, he would need to escape unless he wanted to kill himself or unless he went all out with the Skill Possession which the last time he used was a few days ago. 

After its upgrades, it can now last for upto 2 hours and has a long cooldown of 3 hours and 30 minutes. However, the problem with this Skill was that he would get a Skill from Eva on random if he used her as the possessor. The last time, he was able to get her Skill, Wrath which was an upgraded version of Enrage. If he got lucky, he would be able to obtain this Skill temporarily, and if he didn't, he might only obtain the Skill Sensor which would be quite disastrous especially if they were in a state of emergency. 

Ban thought for a moment and realized that killing 4 of them was not efficient enough. Atop a tree, looking down below the float of restless crocodiles, Ban thought of possible solutions to his current predicament. 

Killing the crocodile's in one strike each was not a problem. The only problem why it will take too long was due to him storing the dead Beasts inside the Earring. He needs to concentrate during that time so storing them might take most of his remaining time. 

30 seconds for killing 4 Elite Grade Beast was actually quite a feat already, unfortunately, Ban thought it wasn't enough and thought that it was inefficient. 

And due to that, he wasted another 15 minutes just to think of a solution. 

He recalled the Partial Transformation Skill he learned from the Half-Skill Crystal that Kuys gave him. 

He then thought of Tria's wings and thought of something incredible. 

'Will I be able to gain wings and fly if I use it on Tria and her wings?' 

Not wasting any more time, he hurriedly asked the System about it, in which the System replied positively. 

Ban became elated thinking about it. He then prepared himself and Eva as well as their escape route. 

The Royal Guard of Eva was excluded for now as it won't be able to help much on the current situation. 

The plan Ban thought was simple. 

Instead of teaming up with Eva to kill the Mild Tempered Crocodiles, why don't he let Eva go all out and kill them while he concentrates on storing them inside the Dimensional Storage Earring? 

With her Wrath Skill, it was indeed possible to kill at least 10 of them before the 30 second stunned duration would be up. The Wrath Skill also has a duration of 6 minutes after it was upgraded so they won't face the problem of falling short during the battle. Although the cooldown was a long one, a total of 4 hours, it was indeed better than using his Skill Possession at the moment. 

After devising the plan, Ban immediately relayed it to Eva and Tria, in which the two listened carefully. 

Eva would be the attacker, Ban would be the looter while Tria would be their escape vehicle if something goes awry. Tria was the fastest of them so letting her become the escape vehicle was a good move.

Although Ban knew that his plan was not perfect, it was the best that he could think of at the moment. 

With that in mind, Ban no longer wasted any time as he used the skill, Partial Transformation. 

[Partial Transformation!

-Allows the user and their summoned monster to transform into one entity temporarily. 

Only a part of the body can transform.

The body part that will transform will depend on what kind of monster was used along with the Skill. 

Duration: 2 Minutes

Cooldown: 1 Hour

]

After he activated the Skill, he and Tria glowed for a brief moment together before Tria transformed into a streak of light and was absorbed in Ban's back. 

The part that will transform will depend on what kind of Summon was used. For example, using a tiger Monster might lead to the transformation of either the feet or the arms. Tria specialized with her wings so it was a given that the part that will transform will be her wings.

But, Ban has no wings? No problem, it was not exactly Ban's body part that got transformed, it was more like, the body part of the Monster or in his case, the body part of the Beast transformed and was obtained by him. 

Possession and Partial Transformation was entirely different, one allowed Ban to borrow the Skills, while the other one allowed Ban to borrow a body part from his Beasts. 

And unlike Possession where Eva was fully conscious of what was happening outside, the Partial Transformation Skill doesn't allow the Beast to do so. It can be said that they would only see blackness during the duration of the Skill. 

The moment Tria disappeared on Ban's back, he suddenly opened his eyes a while later, as he did not expect a searing pain to accompany the wing transformation.
