72 Eden (2/2)
As soon as it appeared, it began rushing toward the four of them. The captain sneered and took out a gun, and fired at the wolf. Dorian focused but he wasn't able to follow the bullet, it looked like following his bullets with his eyes needed a higher perception.
He briefly activated [God's Sight], boosting his Perception to 36. He was able to see the blur of the second bullet, but he still couldn't see it clearly. It looked like he would need a Perception of around 40 to follow bullets with his sight.
Well, it's not like he would be defenseless against bullets, his Perception was enough to clearly follow the muzzle of the gun and the subtle moves of the finger on the trigger. Adding in his quick thinking from his high Intelligence, Dorian was able to trace out the trajectory of the bullets, so he could dodge them. If eh ever let his opponents the time to shoot him.
The four continued firing at the wolf, but after a moment the leader of the four laughed and said \”Boys, stop shooting. We aren't hitting it, it isn't even material. It is an illusion.\”
He aimed his gun at Dorian, followed by the three, and said \”Any last words?\”
Dorian grinned and said \”You are right when you are saying it isn't corporeal, but you are wrong saying its an illusion.\”
Right as he said that, the wolf reached the four and jumped on one of them. The guy ignored the wolf, and kept his gun on Dorian. The next instant, his body fell to the ground, and the wolf took out his spirit from his body.
Taking the spirit out of someone's body forcefully like that wasn't that easy usually, but he was so weak that the wolf didn't have any trouble doing it. The difficulty of doing so depended on the strength of the body, and the strength of the mind. If both were weaker than the wolf, then it could devour them easily.
The Alpha Wolf didn't absorb the spirit right away but instead attacked the other three. They tried shooting at it, but it was to no avail. In under ten seconds, all their bodies fell lifelessly to the ground, and the wolf started absorbing their spirits.
After a moment, Dorian decided to summon Tibo too. Carla was already looking at Dorian like he was a freak for summoning such a powerful monster despite being a newbie, but when she saw Dorian summon the five meters tall Yeti, she felt like she would pass out.
Dorian patted Tibo's leg and said \”Go, you can eat them. Then follow me, and be obedient.\” Tibo nodded and walked over to the corpses.
Dorian turned back toward the pale Carla and said \”I completed my end of the deal. Do yours.\” Carla nodded and asked \”Should we talk around a coffee?\”
Dorian asked \”There are coffees here?\” Carla nodded and said \”Follow me.\” She lead the way and Dorian followed her. After a moment she said \”Thank you.\”
Dorian nodded and said \”Answer my questions later if you want to thank me.\” Carla nodded and asked \”So you are a summoner? I wonder, how did you get so strong in your first world? From what I know, summoners are weak during their first few worlds, because they are alone.\”
Dorian smiled and said \”Yeah, I'm a summoner. And I just got lucky.\” He hadn't corrected her, because making others believe he was a summoner was useful. Others would think that his servants are the only danger, where in reality he is the most dangerous. This could be a strong trump card.
As for Carla, she didn't really buy Dorian's answer. Being lucky wasn't enough here, but she didn't say anything because he was the one who helped her, not the other way around.
As they made their way through the giant paradise like garden, Dorian looked at the different plants with wonder. He knew none of the plants around, they all looked more fantastical than the others. Had anyone ever seen a fifty meters tall flower with seven petals all colored of different colors?
He also saw some other humans around, and this time it was different from back in the Market. This time, there didn't seem to be any limit to the strength of the people here.
At some point, he had seen someone flying in the air, without any mean of transportation, and the danger he felt from this person was stronger than the Cloud Dragon.
