Chapter 103: Choosing Monsters
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A large group of monsters slowly approached the cave. There were also special-class monsters among them. There were at least 40 of them.
Everyone thought that they were going to be facing formidable enemies.
Vincent smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have subdued all these monsters.”
“What? You subdued them?”
Chris and the others widened their eyes in shock when they heard what Vincent had said.
Teacher Chris was also surprised. She looked at Vincent.
Although she had long known that Vincent had many superpowers, she did not know that one of the superpowers would actually allow him to control monsters.
That was right, it was control!
It would be different if he was taming the monsters. Even if Vincent had started taming forty monsters in the morning, he would still not be able to tame that many monsters by nightfall.
Moreover, many of the monsters would rather die in battle than submit to humans.
Other than controlling monsters, Teacher Chris could not think of any other way for Vincent to summon so many monsters.
Although everyone trusted Vincent, they were still on guard in order to prevent the monsters from suddenly launching an attack.
Vincent did not say anything. He was relieved when he saw the stability of the monsters.
He knew that it was only normal for his teammates to not let their guard down. He would have done the same if he saw that many monsters and was told that they were all being controlled. He would have been on guard himself too.
Vincent stood up and walked in front of the monsters. Thunder was excited. It jumped on the head of the nearest monster and began to play. Just like a ping-pong ball, it jumped on all the monsters’ heads.
Vincent reached out and touched the nose of the high-class monster in front of him.
“Kill the Civet Cat on your left,” said Vincent softly.
Everyone present could hear him clearly.
The monster nodded at Vincent and turned its head to roar at the Civet Cat.
The Civet Cat was a special-class monster. It was ready to attack after watching the other monster bare its teeth at it.
“Don’t resist, don’t move,” shouted Vincent in a low voice.
The Civet Cat stretched out its claws. However, it immediately stopped after hearing Vincent’s command.
The high-class monster slapped the Civet Cat’s head. Its brain exploded in an instant.
The Civet Cat was killed easily by a high-class monster.
Chris and the others were dumbfounded. The high-class monster killed a special-class monster so easily. It was illogical.
Vincent then looked at another special-class monster, the Rattlesnake.
“Kill yourself.”
“Awoo!”
After it heard Vincent’s command, the Rattlesnake cried out. It sounded like a cat’s meow. It clawed at its own neck and pulled its head off.
Everyone was shocked.
Even if they did not believe Vincent before, after seeing the Rattlesnake kill itself, they had no choice but to believe him.
Based on previous records, the Rattlesnake had never been captured by humans. The Rattlesnake would only self-destruct after they realized that they had been defeated and were unable to escape.
The fact that the Rattlesnake committed suicide under Vincent’s orders was enough to prove that Vincent’s idea was feasible.
Plus, the seven of them would each have a monster that they did not have to worry about as a pet. Their overall combat strength would improve greatly as well.
If they chose good monsters, they could even form a battle team with the monsters. The success rate of their missions would then greatly increase.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. They put away their weapons and went over to Vincent.
When the monsters saw them walking over to Vincent, they all let out a roar and wanted to move.
Vincent gave a cold snort. The monsters all stopped moving instantly. All of them laid on the ground like children who had done something wrong.
Chris was still a little worried. He borrowed a mountain-splitting ax from Avril and swung it at the monster closest to him.
Boom!
The monster’s head was chopped off by Chris.
The monster did not resist from the beginning until the end.
“Vincent! How did you do it?”
Angelina looked at Vincent in disbelief.
Vincent chuckled and did not explain.
Chris returned the mountain-splitting ax to Avril and looked at Vincent with a serious expression.
“What do you plan on doing next?” asked Chris.
Vincent looked at everyone. “Each of you will choose a monster that you like to be your battle partner. When you encounter an unrivaled monster, you will let your pets fight it to give us time to escape.”
“We don’t know what this place is, but one thing is certain. This is a paradise for monsters. We don’t have to care about the consumption of monsters.”
Everyone felt that Vincent’s method was a little cruel. However, on second thought, this was a way to maximize their strength and ensure their own safety.
“If there are no questions, everyone can start choosing their monsters. If there are no suitable monsters, I will go and find more for everyone tomorrow.”
As no one had any objections, Vincent pointed to the monsters lying on the ground.
Chris then spoke up, “I feel that since the monsters are consumables, then we should not choose what we like. We should choose the monsters that we can cooperate with.”
Everyone was quick-witted and immediately understood where Chris was coming from. They agreed unanimously.
In the end, Chris chose a special-class monster, the Ice and Fire Dual-Headed Wolf. Its close combat ability was basically zero, but the damage from its ice and fire attacks was extremely high. It was very suitable for Chris who liked close combat.
Avril chose a special-class monster, the Steel Baboon. Its close combat ability was very strong, and its defense was also high. Other than not being able to use elemental attacks, it did not have any weaknesses. It could even use weapons to fight.
Angelina and Nabil chose two special-class monsters that were of a defense type. The main purpose was to protect the two of them from sneak attacks. At the same time, they could form a defensive front row with other people’s monsters. This would provide a perfect environment for elemental output.
Swire’s choice was much more extreme compared to the others.
He chose the advanced-class monster Iron-Feathered Eagle. His purpose was very simple. He could sit on it and use his psionic pistol to attack as much as he wanted. The most important thing was to save his psionic power consumption.
Due to her superpower, Teacher Chris chose the special-class monster Netherspirit Cat. The monster could perform a dual-assassin explosive combat style with her. It was also convenient for her to support the seven of them.
As for Vincent, he did not have to choose a monster. This was because all the remaining monsters were his.
Although their levels were not very high, he only intended to use them as bait. High-class monsters were of no use at all.
It was already quite late after everyone had chosen their monsters. After fighting for a day, everyone was very tired. They returned to the cave to either cultivate or rest. They went on to do their own things.
Vincent commanded the monsters to guard at night. He sat at the entrance of the cave to cultivate.
