98. Master
Shiira’s pet, Blue Bird, was one-star, but it was actually one of the most shunned summons. Its combat power was weaker than the most common one-star pet, Wolfdog.
‘In this world where you have to go to the battlefield and fight right now, garbage that is worse than Gyereuk… … .’
However, that was the standard for people in another world. I knew the potential of her minions.
“It’s a date with Ian alone. long time no see?”
“It’s not like that, so focus.”
“It’s just to make you feel.”
Shira pouted her lips and complained. But up to that point, she summoned my summons without taking any action.
Now it has grown considerably, revealing a blue bird as big as the palm of her hand.
The beeping, beeping blue bird settled on Shiira’s shoulder as it was, and she quietly followed me in that state.
“Understand? Do nothing.”
“Because you know.”
Saying that, she leaned back and silently watched my summons fighting. Indeed, as a one-star pet, the experience table was small, and not long after, the blue bird began to grow in size.
─Beep-!
The blue bird, who had been crying like that, looked down at his enlarged body again and flapped his wings to see if he felt better.
Shira, who was hit by a wing, burst out laughing as if it was tickling hahaha.
‘I knew it.’
Seeing this, I realized that my prediction was correct. The guess is that if you bring a party member into the Infinite Dungeon, all the experience will be given priority to the party member.
I couldn’t figure out why. There could be several reasons.
Considering that everyone who can enter the Infinite Dungeon like me has high-grade summons, and therefore only the characters that are important in the original work, it may be to prevent the act of taking advantage of them.
‘That’s not what’s important.’
If it is a system in which even the experience points I will receive are concentrated on children, and thus my growth is blocked. I had to use it backwards.
Her pet, Blue Bird, acquires a buff skill when it reaches level 10.
An overwhelming performance buff that raises the level of other summons as much as your level.
─Beep!
Watching the growing bluebird once again, I accelerated the hunt. Well, it’s a one-star summoned beast. Raising it to level 10 was not that difficult.

If you ask why mankind fights with demons forever, I will point to their innate nature for now.
For demons and demons, killing and eating humans is an instinct, and they were faithful to that instinct.
Just as cows and pigs suddenly start talking to humans, there is no reason not to eat them, demons also hunted humans.
In other words, it meant that demons were more intelligent than humans and were able to talk to each other.
[Fellowship, request.]
“… Am I finally crazy?”
The absolute defense line of the West ruled by the Duke of Terra. There, two demons appeared.
What did the duke do? As usual. Gather summoners and subdue demons. But today was different. The demons were the first to try to talk.
– Summoner, don’t trust me. Demons are evil beings, so you don’t know what kind of heart they hold… .
Food-!
[With this, is it done?]
The demons, who were listening to the conversation between the duke and his summons, grabbed each other’s arms and pulled them together. Two pairs of arms are flying in the sky, and blood starts dripping from the shoulders of demons.
Seeing the demons who lost their fighting power in an instant, the duke put down his tension and decided to have a conversation.
“The demons are the first to speak… What is this?”
[I want to talk to the ruler over there.]
“I am the plenipotentiary representative of the western provinces. You can talk to me.”
[No, higher than that.]
[Hwawawa King! Bring the Emperor!]
The ant-faced demon who was quietly shutting his mouth next to him screamed in love. In response, some summoners were startled and attacked, but the demons only distorted their expressions as if they were in a bad mood after being beaten, but they did not dare to counterattack.
Realizing that they really wanted to talk, the duke wondered if the demons had a good heart by now, but that wasn’t a bad thing.
“… wait a moment.”
With that said, Duke Terra ordered the summoner with the fastest feet to bring the crystal ball. A communication crystal ball connected directly to the Imperial Family.
The duke, who was handed the crystal ball brought from the castle before a few minutes passed, tried to connect with the emperor as it was.
─What’s going on?
Like one of the few direct lines, he succeeded in connecting with the emperor soon after. As the enemy was in front of him, he knelt down and was unable to take the courtesy, and the duke had a conversation with the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the demons are coming.”
—Is it an invasion? Send support there.
“That’s not it. The demons, the demons are requesting a conversation.”
─… … The demons are trying to talk?
“I think you should see it.”
The duke said so and lit the place where the demons were with the crystal ball. After cutting off his limbs and seeing the demons with burn marks all over his body, the emperor nodded as if he had something to say.
It was a very small movement, but it was a movement that could be captured by the eyes of the demons.
[Emperor, we want to have a conversation.]
[Give it up! Give it up! Give me your neck!]
[This is a message from the Demon Lord that he will not invade the human realm for the next several decades if we grant our condition.]
─… Duke, as you said.
The emperor nodded and ordered the demons to tell them the conditions. Seeing the small movement, the demons smiled and talked with unbelievably disgusting expressions.
[Give out the warrior.]
[Kill! Awesome hero!! Kill me!]
[Shut up, you can’t talk.]
[Hey! I can’t hit it because I don’t have an arm!]
Watching the demons quarreling with each other, the emperor thought about the conditions the demons were talking about.
Brave, is it Noah Melie or Ian Clarke? Either way, it was a hand that could not be easily discarded.
So the king asked again.
─How long?
[Right Now.]
[right now! Kill me right now!}
-That would be impossible. As you all know, I’m the only one who can subdue a hero’s force. Right now, I’m tied to the imperial family.
[Was the hero that strong?]
[I don’t know, Moola- The great hero this time is also a dragon, right? deal?]
After hearing the story of the demons, the emperor realized that they didn’t know much about warriors. If so, you can use it.
After completing the calculations in his head, the emperor made an agreement with the demons.
-Come back in a week. Then I’ll bring you the warrior’s head.
“… … your majesty?”
[good night. I’ll come back in a week.]
[Warrior! neck! A warrior’s neck!]
-Isn’t there a promise? That promise that if you kill the hero, you will not invade for decades.
[We don’t lie. human.]
[Inaan! stupid! Silly!]
[Even a little bit.]
The demons left behind those words and disappeared. It was the first time since I was born. Just watching the wounded demons in front of you.
“… Your Majesty, please explain. You’re making an agreement with the demons-.”
—Duke, didn’t you hear what they were saying? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t invade for the next few decades? It’s time for you and your children to enjoy peace.
“That’s why – I don’t think it should be.”
-Everyone has an idea, trust me.
“… All right.”
The moment the story was finished, the crystal ball’s light went out and communication was terminated. The duke quietly looked down at the crystal ball and remembered the emperor’s face.
The emperor is obviously a great saint who sacrifices himself for the sake of mankind, but somehow he could not shake off his uneasiness.
“Go back.”
But the duke quietly bit the army.

“Fufu, this body- Awakening!”
Shira, who enjoyed a date with Ian in the Infinite Dungeon all day, returned with a shiny face and started bragging in front of the party.
In particular, he showed off a blue bird that grew from a small chick the size of a chick to the size of an eagle, and he couldn’t help but say that it was all thanks to Ian’s love that this blue bird grew so much.
Stella hated seeing her so happy. I wanted to smash her smile somehow.
However, for an aristocratic Young lady who grew up not knowing how to resent others all her life, even doing things that others hate was difficult.
“It is forbidden to summon pets inside the academy. Don’t you even know?”
“yes? it’s okay! What are you going to get penalized for?”
The words squeezing her hair out did not work for Shiira. 5 Academy seats, even more so for a talented woman who can ignore the penalty points due to her grades and the strength of her family.
When her smile did not disappear, the arrow went to the person who made her laugh this time.
“What is that? Is it that important?”
“You can see it.”
“You can see… Can’t you see?”
Seeing Stella’s blunt answer, Ian ordered her to summon my summoned beast.
It’s been less than a minute since my mouth said that summoning pets was banned inside the academy, but Stella summoned Ifrit as if she had no memory of that.
“… … Ifrit.”
—Heh, hey. Curvy little boy. Did I say that if you bully our Stella, I’ll roast it?
As soon as Ifrit, the king of the spirits of fire, appeared, he began to spit flames at Ian.
Ian, who slowly retreated back and avoided the flames, looked at Shira as it was, and ordered her to use her skill.
“Use your skills against Ifrit.”
“skill?”
“okay.”
“I don’t know how to write?”
“… … Order the bluebird to grant it.”
“Well… Blue bird, give it to that red-haired girl!”
-Who’s hitting!
Whether or not Ifrit shouted, the blue bird flapped its wings with a beeping sound and used her skills as it was.
As he reached level 10, his instinctively realized abilities were exhibited, and the blue bird, which was as big as an eagle, began to shrink as if it had just been summoned.
“ah! Ian’s love!”
Seeing my summons shrink, Shira, who was so mournful, stared at the shameless prostitute who stole her love.
And it stopped.
“… What is that?”
“Ifrit… ?”
Shiira said, Ian’s love.
As Ian said, the level of the blue bird was transferred to Ifrit.
Whoops!
The master of fire descends on the earth.
Level 2 (+10) Ifrit used to feel the available spirit power when she was in the spirit realm.
– Fire.
Saying so, she reached out towards the sun, and a strong flare came down from the sun.
It was a far cry from reaching the Earth, but it was no surprise that her power reached the universe.
Ifrit felt the power close to omnipotence and looked at Ian.
─… … stellar.
“Ifrit… you… .”
-Can’t I marry him?
And I really wanted to have Ian, who was endowed with such a miraculous power.
