These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 94: Dungeon break (6)

In the end, I led the way while they all followed me.

Of course, I had the orcs spread out in a formation so that they would be protected, but it didn’t seem like they were keen to have these orcs around them.

It seemed that they were afraid to have the orcs around them like this.

But that could be understood.

The only one that didn’t seem bothered was the old man that spoke up earlier.

In fact, it seemed like he was in his element with the way that he walked right beside me. He didn’t seem to be afraid of the fact that we were inside of a dungeon break zone at all or the fact that we were surrounded by monsters.

The way that he walked was almost as if he was on a stroll in a park or something.

Was it because this old man had nerves of steel or was it because of something else?

While we were walking, he even came over to me and asked, "How are you controlling these monsters? I’ve seen many summoners in the past and I’ve seen people with controlling abilities, but I’ve never seen one that has an ability like yours."

I slightly knitted my brows when he asked this question, but eventually I said, "This is the ability that my familiar has, I don’t know how it works either."

The old man narrowed his eyes to look at the Echo Bat on my shoulder before saying, "Is that so? It doesn’t seem that special at all."

With a simple nod, I said, "That’s what I’ve been told, but it’s my partner."

As if he approved of this, the old man said, "That’s a good attitude to have. Many people nowadays completely forget that we are who we are because the beasts that we summoned agreed to the first contract. We shouldn’t forget that they are our equals who we have formed a contract with."

With a sigh, the old man continued by saying, "The kids these days all forget that and take their familiars for granted. It isn’t what it’s like in my days."

An awkward smile appeared on my face when I heard the old man complaining like this.

But it did help to ease the tension that was in our group hearing this old man complain like this.

The others slowly relaxed as well since they were infected by the old man’s casual mood.

Not to mention that nothing happened as we made our way out of this place, which allowed them to think that everything would be fine.

The orcs that came out to attack us were even turned into allies with my ability, but that also drew more attention from the old man who was amazed that I was able to do this.

It seemed like the old man really had been through a lot with all the stories that he had.

But it certainly was a boon to have him with us keeping our spirits up.

That was until…

"Boom!"

There was a large explosion that came from in front of us.

I immediately raised my hand for everyone to stop, but they had already stopped.

That was because they felt the pressure that was coming from in front of them.

Even if they didn’t want to stop, they would have no choice but to stop when being pressured by whatever was there like this. It was as if the gravity around had suddenly increased, pushing them all into the ground.

For the younger and older ones, this even made it harder for them to breathe.

For me who had been through a few dungeons now, I knew exactly what this was.

This was either an Elite Monster or a Boss Monster that was in front of us.

But the pressure of this monster was strange…it was much stronger than anything that I’ve ever encountered…

It was a monster that was clearly above C Rank, which was what the Fishman Chief was at.

It might even be an A Rank Monster…

That was far beyond anything that I was able to handle right now.

Even if I had become stronger, A Rank Monsters were in a completely different category.

"Roar!"

With this roar, there were a bunch of orcs that suddenly appeared, but the one that was the most eye catching was a giant one that was in the center of this group of orcs. This was an orc that was much bigger than the rest of the orcs and had a special defining feature.

There was a crown on the head of this orc.

There was no doubt that this giant orc was the leader of this group of orcs.

At the same time, since there was this crown on its head, this orc was most likely an Orc King.

An Orc King was a monster that was at least B Rank, but there was something different about this one. This Orc King seemed like it was much stronger than the Fishman Chief who was a C Rank Monster.

If I had to guess, this Orc King was most likely a mutated one that had reached A Rank.

It really didn’t make sense how there was an A Rank Monster here out of all places…but there was no time to wonder how this happened.

If we stayed here, there was no doubt that we would all be dead.

So the best idea was to take my mom and brother, while leaving the rest behind…

Only there was a part of me that was hesitating.

In the end, I just couldn’t do it.

I couldn’t abandon them.

I took out the Summoning Flute and called out the two Fanged Wolves before saying to them, "Listen to his and her instructions."

The Fanged Wolves nodded before moving over to my mother and brother’s side.

I quickly snapped in front of their faces to pull them out of their daze before saying, "Take the Fanged Wolves and leave with the others. I’ll stay here and hold them back."
