Chapter 59 - Summon
Yuki felt himself get drained of a large quantity of stamina. As he used the crown to create a new summon, Yuki thought about his shadowy friend. Although their time together was short lived, it had engraved itself into Yuki\'s memory. Remembering all that they had gone through brought a smile to Yuki\'s face.
The white glowing flowed out of "King\'s Crown" like water until it began to form a figure. Slowly but surely, the shadowy monster appeared in front of Yuki. Right as it was brought into existence, it kneeled before it\'s king.
"How may I serve you my liege?" the monster asked.
"I\'ll send you outside this dungeon, once that has been done, go find the first dungeon that I cleared and constantly level up there until I tell you to stop," said Yuki.
"What makes you so confident in me?" the new Meurig asked.
"Oh right. I forgot how sad Meurig used to be when we first met," Yuki thought to himself.
Yuki thought for a bit until he could come up with the correct words to say.
"Well it\'s because I believe that you could be one of my most useful allies. Do not disappoint me!" said Yuki.
Catching Meurig off guard, the newly formed monster could do nothing but nod furiously in agreement.
Seeing as how everything was going according to plan, Yuki walked towards the gateway as he needed to set his save point. As he entered the tunnel which led into the next stage, the engravings on the wall began to light up white.
[Stage two: Complete]
[Save point reached]
[If you would like to move to the 3rd stage of the dungeon, please step forward]
[Stage three difficulty: level 7]
"A raid party member would like to exit the dungeon!" Yuki said out loud.
"Which party member would like to exit?" the system asked.
"Summon: Meurig," Yuki replied.
"Save point has been reached, exp will not be taken away once the summon exits. Press \'Confirm\' to finish the process," the system said.
In front of Yuki was a large rectangular blue projection which said "Confirm", beside it was a red projection button which could be pressed to cancel the transitional process. As he had done so previously, Yuki pressed the confirm option. Now teleported outside the dungeon, Meurig instantly set out on his journey to accomplish the goal given to him by his king.
"Okay, that felt good. I can have a new Meurig that won\'t abandon me," said Yuki as he walked through the gateway, unveiling the next stage.
The layout was similar to the previous stages however in this one, large bridges and towers were in place. Stationed at every tower was an archer, under each one were a group of demon guards for a combined total of 5 archers and 50 infantry units.
"What a pain, even if I take out the infantry, getting the arches at the top will take an excruciating amount of time," said Yuki.
[Open inventory]
Just as Yuki reached in to grab a potion, an arrow pierced through his hand, getting stuck in it. As he rived in pain, Yuki continued to try to grab hold of a potion. Each attempt was halted by a fury of arrows from all directions, stabbing through his skin and draining his stamina and health. Before he could be killed off in mere minutes, Yuki\'s brain went into a fight or flight mode allowing him to think of a simple but spectacular idea.
"Serve your king!" Yuki said as he summoned the lich from the 10th stage of the first dungeon.
"How may I be of serve to you my king?" Feliu asked.
"I\'m kind of in a pickle. Do you mind tanking the attacks for me while I grab a potion since you\'re immortal and can only be defeated by the use of a soul damaging item?" Yuki asked.
"It would be the greatest honour to do that," Feliu said as he stood in front of Yuki, taking in all the arrows from the arches. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, the dark red skinned infantry unit began to march towards Feliu. Large-two handed swords in hand, they all began attacking at once. The lich smiled as he was overjoyed to be protecting his king. Even if he would have taken damage from their attacks, Feliu would\'ve accepted the request without a second thought. However it wasn\'t himself who wanted to commit such deeds, the awakened crown forced this obligation onto any monster summoned using it. Their emotions would be manipulated and augmented to fit the user\'s desires.
The large humanoid infantry unit began to push Feliu further and further back. While they couldn\'t do any direct damage to him, it didn\'t mean that they weren\'t capable of causing knock back.
Seeing as the situation was getting even worse, Yuki reached into his inventory hotbar and grabbed a full status recovery potion, along with 3 speed boost and an attack boost potion. Now having drunk all of them at once, Yuki felt fully refreshed and ready for battle.
"You can go back now," Yuki said as Feliu deformed and began to return to the crown. Wasting no time, Yuki placed the crown back into his hotbar and took out his favorite weapon, "Fallen angel of hell". Closing his inventory tab, Yuki glared at the crowd with an evil look which made it seem as if a large after image of him stood behind him. All frozen where they stood, they heard a breeze of wind pass them as Yuki disappeared from their eyesight. Less than a second later, they heard a loud *bang* sound behind them. Yuki had leaped too fast and engraved his feet into the direction which he had hoped to climb on foot.
"I guess over using potions can cause confusion of how your body actually functions," said Yuki as he pulled his feet out of the cylindrical tower walls and landed back on his feet. Eagerly awaiting his revenge, Yuki began to walk on the walls of the tower. Soon the walking turned into running, impatiently eager to do all kinds of horrific actions to the demon archer. Right as Yuki reached the top of the tower, he stood there, allowing the monster a chance to admire the menacing presence of the revenge seeking monster it had created.
"Let the fun begin," said Yuki as he stepped off the battlements of the tower and landed on the keep.
