Chapter 20: The Crucible of Endurance — Dioki’s Harsh Baptism

Dan stood before the gathered novices on the sprawling open grounds of Kuma Academy, where a colossal rune-etched circle shimmered faintly beneath the spring sun. His gaze swept across the restless sea of students, their faces flushed with anticipation and dread alike.

“There’s going to be a hunting expedition shortly,” Dan announced with a commanding tone, his voice cutting through the murmurs like a blade through silk. “You’ll spend an entire week tracking and battling those alien beasts that have plagued our world for centuries. A seasoned instructor will accompany you, ensuring your safety—but understand this clearly: the students who return with the most Dioki cores will be handsomely rewarded.”

He paused, allowing the weight of the challenge to settle on the eager faces before him.

“And two weeks after your return, you will face your second summoning ritual. The number of cores you harvest from this hunt will directly

  • Chapter 221: Ryan’s True Power (Bonus)

    Summoned Celestial Divine Beast – Chapter 221: Ryan’s True Power (Bonus) The cave trembled with a deafening roar as Sphinx and Ryan’s allies braced themselves. Above them, the colossal form of Nidhogg descended with terrifying grace, scales glinting like molten metal under the dim light. The dragon exhaled a scorching breath that rippled through the air, forcing the alien to retreat several meters in a sudden, panicked motion. Each step she took left scorched marks on the jagged floor of the cavern, evidence of the sheer force Nidhogg wielded. Dust and fragments of stone floated in the air like embers from an untamed fire, making the atmosphere thick with tension and heat. Ryan’s lips curved into a faint, confident smile, the kind that made it clear he bore no doubt about the battle ahead. “Sorry for making you wait. Let me handle the rest,” he said, his voice calm yet carrying a weight that silenced even the lingering echoes of Nidhogg’s roa

  • Chapter 220: Ryan’s Arrival

    Summoned Celestial Divine Beast – Chapter 220: Ryan’s Arrival The cavern trembled under the weight of chaos as the dust cloud thickened, swirling like a living storm, suffocating the edges of vision for everyone present. Every student’s muscles tensed instinctively, their bodies coiled as though ready to snap like springs. The alien—no, the creature that had been clawing its way through their defenses—was unlike anything they had faced. Each movement was measured, lethal, and unpredictable, a predatory elegance that seemed to mock the fragile order of their formation. The air itself felt charged, thick with the raw, undulating presence of Dioki, and even those attuned to the energy could sense its subtle, eerie whispers, like invisible currents brushing against the skin, promising both salvation and annihilation. From within that storm of dust and debris, the alien emerged once more, its appearance more terrifying than

  • C219: Chaollete vs Queen

    Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts C219: Chaollete vs Queen The air between them crackled with tension, thick enough to taste. Chaollete Ashley’s gaze lingered on her own left arm, where the remnants of the impact still burned with the ghost of pain. Her mind raced as she tried to process what had just happened. The alien—the one known as the Queen—had sacrificed her left arm, not as a display of brute force, but as a calculated shield against Chaollete’s most devastating strike. The arm, though encased in her symbiote flesh, remained unhealed, the regenerative properties of her Dioki seemingly refusing to touch it. It was as if the Queen had intentionally abandoned that limb, leaving it to ruin while focusing the alien’s arcane energy elsewhere. Chaollete’s eyes narrowed, observing every movement, every subtle shift in her opponent’s stance. Is the Queen’s regenerative ability inherently limited? Or is she channeling it selectively, perhaps conserving it for internal de

  • C218: The ‘Queen’ of Aliens (Bonus)

    Summoned Celestial Divine Beast C218: The ‘Queen’ of Aliens (Bonus) The cavern shook faintly under the weight of dust and energy, yet amidst the trembling silence, a singular figure began to emerge from the thick haze. Yin Zhen’s eyes narrowed, the familiar prickle of tension climbing up his spine as he tried to make sense of the figure that slowly took form. There was a strange elegance to her movements, as if the dust itself bowed around her, separating to allow her silhouette to take shape in the center of the chaos. Selena, Risa, and Sasha had arrived just in time, each stepping cautiously over debris-strewn ground, drawn by the unmistakable presence of what could only be called the queen of the alien faction. Her early twenties seemed almost deceptively gentle, with long, straight hair falling gracefully over her shoulders and a soft, almost fragile face that seemed to belong in a completely different world. It was no wonder Dikkleus had admired her from afar; there was a cha

  • C217: Dryad (Bonus)

    Summoned Celestial Divine BeastC217: Dryad (Bonus)"Ughhh!" Ryan ground his teeth as sweat poured down his face, his body trembling with exhaustion. "Have I absorbed enough Dioki yet?" he muttered under his strained breath, the edges of his lips cracking from dry tension. His hands, slick with both exertion and faint streaks of dried blood, hovered over the glowing cores as if willing them to yield more power simply by his insistence. Each core pulsed faintly, almost mockingly, as he swallowed one after another, feeling the Dioki ripple through his body like electric fire racing through veins that were already screaming in protest. He formed two contracts, each intricately woven with precise calculations and deliberate care, all while his mind screamed at him to stop before his body inevitably betrayed him. But he could not—he could not afford to hesitate, not now. After consuming several hundred cores, Ryan finally felt the Dioki surge reach the threshold ne

  • C216: Dispel

    Summoned Celestial Divine Beast C216: Dispel The cave’s silence was suffocating, yet Selena could feel every whisper of the past events lingering in the air. Dust swirled around her boots as she stepped lightly, scanning the shadows cast by the jagged walls, her familiar senses straining for any trace of life or movement. “There doesn’t seem to be anyone left here,” she murmured, the words tasting hollow as they left her lips. The air carried the metallic tang of blood, mixed with the faint, acrid scent of alien Dioki mutations, a reminder of the horrors that had unfolded before her arrival. Her mind replayed the grim tableau she had seen earlier: the man they were meant to rescue, now cold and lifeless. Death had arrived silently, yet with absolute inevitability. Selena’s heart clenched slightly at the memory, but there was no time for grief. The urgency of their mission pressed against her chest like a physical weight, demanding action over emotion. Her familiars, ethereal forms
