Chapter 679: Who Are They?
“What do you think they’re doing in Monsters World?”
While we were watching the group of humans whom we found in Monsters World, Randy asks me that question. I guess I never told him about summoners from the past.
“We summoners can make a contract with monsters in this world like how tamer does. But we can’t use the same magic in our world. The biggest difference is portal, I guess. Summoners can summon their familiars wherever they are, but tamers can only call their familiars when they’re close. If they are summoners, they should be here to make a contract with a monster. And tamers should be looking for a lot of monsters and get the summoner to return them back to our world.
“There’s also Pear-y Fruit. That fruit helps us summoners so we can get more than one familiars. We can get an extra familiars to make a contract with when we advance to the next level. But we can use it only twice. After that, we need to eat another Pear-y Fruit. I already have four familiars and will be able to make a contract with a new monster once I reached master level. But Pear-y Fruits are rare in our world and not in this world. So if they are from our world, and they are summoners, they can only have one familiar,” I explained.
“Oh, I see. But there’s no young people among the group. I don’t think they are here to make a contract,” Randy guessed.
There are ten people in the group. And we still don’t know if they are members of the cult or maybe they are from this world. Maybe they just look like human but they are actually monsters. Or maybe they are descendant of summoners from our world who left our world and decided to live here. We don’t know yet.
We can’t tell until we investigate even further.
.....
“Summoners in recent years, until before I introduce them how a summoner should be, at least to our allies only, are cruel toward their monsters. Because it’s totally random. If we get something we don’t like, we will kill that monster so we can have an open spot for a familiar. We do it until we get a summon that we like. My guess is that if they are summoners, they are looking for powerful monster to make a contract with. And they will kill their own monster first. So it doesn’t matter if they are young or old,” I explained.
“I see. If they are summoners, you might be right. On that note, did you try to kill your monster?” Randy asked.
“In my past life. Back then, it was just Blobby the Black Slime. Victoria’s consciousness wasn’t there yet. So I tried to kill it over and over again, but I failed,” I said.
“Hearing about you trying to kill me doesn’t feel good at all. Let’s change the subject. Are we just going to watch over them without doing anything?” Victoria asked.
Not just Randy and I. The werewolves who learned sneaking skills were also trying to get close to that group. And I told them to just watch their moves and listen to what they say if possible.
“”Yes.””
Both Randy and I replied at the same time.
Randy then explained, “We have no idea why they are here and how they are here. If they came through portal, we need to be careful if they have monsters that can duplicate themselves like you. But if they use some sort of transportation, that means capturing that Professor alone is not enough to stop them from inventing something new. But if we can damage their transportation those people won’t be able to return.”
If they are summoners, they can easily go back to our world. And what if they have tamers as well? Those tamers can easily tame as many monsters as they want in this world before returning to our world. That is dangerous.
Why is tamers rarer than summoners? I don’t think we have many tamers in our rank. And the tamers we have mostly make a contract with a werewolf, elf, and angels after I introduce them. Though those species are still good because they can still grow. But the tamers still need an even stronger monster.
Maybe not just stronger. Maybe just useful for one trick as well. Like that summoner who have a mole as his familiar. That is good.
But I heard that having too many monsters is too big of a burden for tamers. But I don’t know because there are no tamers I know who have tried to tame too many monsters.
“Roy, I need you to check the surrounding to see if there are any transportation device for them to come here. I don’t think they have walked too far in this unknown world. If so, they must have left that thing somewhere. I’ll stalk them a bit longer,” Randy suggested.
“Then I have a suggestion to you. You remember Spot, right? I introduce you to him before. And I think you had a spar with him as well. He can use camouflage along with someone he’s touching. With him wrapping your waist or wherever you want, the have less chance of finding you,” I said
“Alright. That’s good. Please call him right away.
I contacted Sonia to ask Spot if he’s free and I got immediate response. So I opened a very small portal where the small-sized Spot enter and quickly wrapped his body around Randy’s waist.
“If you want, you can ask him to take you anywhere. He can still use his camouflage skill when he’s huge as well,” I said.
“I’ll do that. Spot, turn big enough so I alone can ride,” Randy said.
Spot then turns a bit bigger and just enough for Randy to sit on top of him. And they fly before Spot use camouflage to make them invisible.
“...if Spot is a broomstick that would be great,” Victoria suddenly said.
“I think Spot being a living creature is much greater than if he’s a broomstick. Why would you think that he’d be great as a broomstick?”
I still don’t get Victoria’s reference. Her world is confusing as usual. Can their broomstick shoot breath attack?
I summoned Ray and we move around to see anything in the surrounding. If those people are wind mages, I also need to check further area.
Using Ray’s speed, we checked the surrounding in one hour. But we didn’t find anything. Our guess is that they are summoners indeed. Or at least one of them.
If there’s only one summoner there, and the other nine are tamers, it will be bad. Though if the monsters they encountered prove to be too much for them, that would be great. They die, and they can’t get any report back to where they from. If they’re from the cult.
But what if they are inhabitant of this world? Like my other guess, summoners in the past move to this world and these people are their descendant. Will it be easy to get them to join us?
Though I don’t think they would like to join us fighting the cult even if we explain things to them. Why would they enter danger when they are living peacefuly? But they can only call it living peacefully here if they are strong enough to face monsters here. The monsters in this world are far stronger than the same monsters in our world after all.
“There’s nothing at all. But maybe there are some further away from here. And we can’t tell yet if their summoner have eaten Pear-y Fruit or not. So maybe they have more than one familiar already. What should we do?” I asked Randy after reporting him that I found nothing.
“It’s better if we can get close to them. But seeing that this is Monsters World, those people should be on guard at all time. We can’t get too close easily and try listening to them. And if they found another human can come to this world, their summoner might return back to our world right away to give report if they are part of the cult. We can’t show ourselves to them yet,” Randy said.
So, we can only see from afar. Until suddenly, a werewolf running in the air to where we are flying. He keeps kicking the air near us so he can stay in the air, so I told Spot to get bigger for him to stand.
“My King! Please let me approach them and see what they will do. I will act as a wild wolf and see if they are going to make a contract with me or not. If you find a chance, you can capture them all easily,” the werewolf said.
“You mean testing them if they can make you their familiar? Are you sure?” I asked.
“I’m sure. After all, even if I ended up becoming their pet, you will kill the summoner and free me right away. I have nothing to be afraid of,” he said.
I looked at Randy and he nodded in agreement. We both think that what this werewolf said is the best plan we can think of. And maybe I should try to remember every single werewolf that I lead.
“Alright. If you’re sure about it, then let’s do your plan. If there’s a fight, think of surviving first before killing them. I won’t help you right away. I’ll watch first before making action,” I said.
“I will do as you say. Wish me luck, my King,” he jumped from Spot’s back.
He’s smart that he didn’t run toward those people right away. He landed a bit far from them before transforming into his wolf form and approach those humans.
