2024-10-29 19:42:56Something hurtled towards Eryk's head. It stretched like a long, flexible whip, but its slashes were as painful as swords.
Slap!
Eryk dodged a little too late. The tip of the whip scraped his cheek until it bled. After hitting his cheek, the whip made of plant vines was again drawn into the palm of a person standing covering the end of the alley.
A beautiful girl with waist-length black hair wearing a red qipao (Chinese dress) modified to be more casual and slightly open at the chest blocked Eryk's steps. The pounding of her knee boots made Eryk tremble slightly.
The girl stood with her hands clasped on her waist. Between her body twisted several tendrils of green plants with leaves, each leaf has an eye. The plant tendrils seemed alive and stuck all over the girl's body, loosely coiled and moving.
Eryk needed to see the proper form of the plant vines wrapped around the girl's body. He thought the dozens of eyes that might attack him in the darkness were beasts. But those are the eyes of each leaf attached to the plant's tendrils.
"Shut up there, you assassins!" shouted the girl.
Eryk stuttered. He had already turned around and was ready to jump back onto the roof of a nearby building when the girl called him an assassin. Eryk stood frozen while clutching a box of fried chicken to his chest. White has run away. Its wings flapped in the air soundlessly.
"Put down whatever you're carrying!" said the girl in the red qipao angrily.
Eryk didn't know who the woman who suddenly came and surprised him was. However, Eryk doesn't like being called a killer, and he doesn't like it even more, when he's told to put down his game when he's still hungry.
Eryk assessed the situation. He glanced around, looking for a gap and a platform to escape onto the roof. However, the girl with the vines stepped closer and blocked his movements.
A pair of green plant tendrils extended again and tried to entangle Eryk's body. The plant wrapped around Eryk's upper body, so he accidentally dropped the box of fried chicken.
At the same time, the tendrils of other plants stretched out and snared the box of fried chicken so it wouldn't fall to the ground. The girl with the red qipao approached Eryk from behind and how surprised she was when she found a box of fried chicken left over from the trash.
"What is this? Are you trying to play me? Where did you hide that thing?"
Eryk needed help understanding the situation. Even though his body is snared by the tendrils of plants, he can still freely jump into the air with his parkour skills. Eryk ran using one of the restaurant's walls as a fulcrum, and he flipped in the air several times to escape the vines entangled from his body. Then Eryk landed smoothly behind the girl.
"Fuck!" shouted the girl. "You think you can escape my summoned spirit?"
Eryk, who was kneeling on one knee, was immediately alert. "Summoned spirits?" he muttered.
Eryk's eyes narrowed. He has terrible memories of two men who once tried to kill him with the power of a summoned spirit.
Eryk looked at the long-haired girl. "I don't know what or who you mean. However, you are wrong if you mistake me for a murderer and steal my dinner."
Eryk hissed in annoyance. He didn't like having his dinner routine ruined by little things.
The girl was no less furious. She was sure the figure she was looking for was Eryk. The summoned spirit in the form of plant tendrils still wrapped around the fried chicken box suddenly wrapped around it tightly so that the fried chicken packaging melted into pieces along with the fried chicken.
"Summoner..." Eryk hissed angrily at the girl in front of him. "There's nothing I hate the most besides arrogant and arbitrary summoner groups. The humans down here, at worst, are still better than you summoners."
White, the owl who kept watching from the roof of the building, suddenly shot and dived sharply toward Eryk. The flapping of its wings was followed by the flapping of dozens of other owls that came with it. Their coat color varies; brown, black, golden yellow, grey, or a combination of these colors. They came together, flapping their wings and enveloping Eryk's body. The next second, Eryk's body lifted up.
"Stop!" shouted the girl. "You think you can run away after making such a fuss here?"
The line moved its hand and pointed its palm at Eryk, who flew into the air. From the girl's palms emerged very long thorny plant tendrils to hunt Eryk and the owls.
Before Eryk reached the roof of the building, one of his legs was entangled by the girl's plant tendrils. She pulled hard until Eryk fell again with a thump to the surface of the dark alley. The owls that tried to take him away immediately scattered.
The sudden attack caught Eryk by surprise. He fell to the ground on his back. He had missed his dinner, and now the strange girl in the peculiar dress with the vines surrounded him.
"You refuse to admit it and try to run away?" From under her skirt, the girl took out a knife that flashed sharp. "Then, in exchange, I will take your thieving fingers."
The girl lunged forward. She kept moving with her plant tendrils to attack Eryk, who was still lying in the middle of the alley.
Eryk grabbed the edge of the trash can and jumped on it.
"You're fast too, huh?" quipped the girl. "Are you also a summoner? I see the owls keep following you."
A large tree suddenly appeared from the wall where Eryk was trying to climb. Eryk staggered for balance. The girl laughed, seeing Eryk fall again.
The tree trunk kept sticking out and repeatedly disappearing from the entire surface of the wall where Eryk was trying to stand. Since there was no more foothold, Eryk saw a three-meter drainpipe on the left and then jumped. As soon as his fingers caught the iron. The pipe came off the wall in a burst of brick dust.
Eryk fell, and his side hit the asphalt. Air exploded out of his lungs.
The long-haired girl with plant tendrils on her body brought her face closer to Eryk and grinned.
"Keep him on the ground!" the girl ordered to her vines.
Eryk lay on the asphalt surface with many plants twisting and entangling his body. Eryk really couldn't move, even breathe. He had a lot of trouble. His whole body felt clamped and pulled to the bottom of the earth, leaving only his face on the ground.
"Please don't...."
Eryk resisted, but the girl sat on Eryk's feet and held his arm.
"I thought at first that you were also a summoner, but it turns out that your body is weak and lame. You may be good at running away, but not tough enough to run from me. Tell me, where are your other accomplices?"
Eryk was very short of breath and almost exploded because he was caught in the roots and tendrils of the plant.
"I don't know what you're talking about. You're wrong. I don't understand anything. I'm just a homeless who digs food out of the trash," Eryk said with shortness of breath.
"I witnessed you being chased by a girl in an alley. You lured her to a deserted place. Once you get it, you take the girl's life by killing the summoned spirit! Hand me the summoned spirit you took from her!"
Eric stared in disbelief. He thought of the figure of a man dressed all in black running along the alley and a girl chasing him not long ago. Eryk glanced at his own body. He also wore an all-black outfit.
"You recognized the wrong person!" Eryk hissed at the girl.
The girl in the red qipao didn't care. She stood towering in front of Eryk. Her left hand was raised to the sky and a thorny tendril sprouted from her palm.
"If the tip of this thorn plant penetrates your heart, then you will die in just a second. You better tell me before I can't control my hands and stab your heart."
The plant tendrils began to emerge from her palm. They were ready to jump into Eryk's chest, constantly pounding extraordinarily. Eryk's eyes widened, imagining the speed with which the plant wanted to penetrate his heart.

Eryk tried to defend his life by all means, but his strength was too weak when he was snared so tightly by the plant's tendrils.The strange girl with plant tendrils all over her body was still sitting at Eryk's feet. She failed to stick the tip of a thorn into Eryk's heart. She instead took out a dagger and wanted to cut Eryk's fingers which were stretched on the asphalt surface.Eryk couldn't see White anywhere. Sometimes the owl came to help him. More often than not, he suddenly disappears when Eryk is in a desperate situation.

When Eryk stepped onto one of the roofs of the next building, he didn't pay much attention because it was dark. Someone suddenly hit him with a baseball bat, causing Eryk to fall.White flew above him without a sound. He could only see Eryk rolling on the roof of the building. Footsteps were rushing up the fire escape not far from where Eryk fell.The sound of the footsteps made Eryk immediately alert. When he tried to get up, a group of men dressed in all black came after him.Eryk struggled to swing his legs to stand up and run. However, his toes felt sunk in the holes in his shoes. Something was blocking Eryk's movement. He became stiff and not as flexible as usual.The place where he stood was sheltered by the shadow. However, he could see through the streaks of light from the surrounding buildings. Several men lined up near the wall and surrounded it.

The Last Chosen Summoner 6| Trap at Grandpa's House
Eryk woke up screaming. Sweat was starting to dry on his forehead, and his arms were getting goosebumps. He could see his breath under the layer of awning stretched between the branches above him. As it sat, the tree creaked, and the nest in which it lay shook slightly. The white owl rushed away from Eryk's hand."Coincidence," Eryk muttered. "This must be just a coincidence.""What is it?" White asked. He landed from the branch above Eryk's head and approached him beside the young man.Eryk closed his eyes and imagined a gold ring with a distinctive symbol on the finger of the pale man who had attacked him."Tell me, White. How can I come back here? Wasn't the last time I was attacked on the sidewalk in the middle of Rockwool City?""Yeah, you passed out after a bunch of guys threw you from a great height. My friends and I tried to catch you and land you on the pavement. But after that, you screamed like crazy, and you passed out again.""Not!" Eric shook his head. "That's not how it
The Last Chosen Summoner 7| The Red Coat Suspect
The sound of an emergency alarm and a police car siren blared simultaneously, making Eryk's head feel like it was going to explode. Suddenly he forgot how to get out of there because he panicked and was confused.Eryk's hands and clothes were covered in his uncle's blood. He ran towards the door, but some people with galloping footsteps came closer. Erick backed away in fright. He looked the other way and saw a white curtain swinging like a pale ghost. Eryk pushed aside the curtains and found the door leading to the balcony slightly ajar.Eryk opened the sliding glass door wider. The wind immediately hit his body. He heard a noise from the balcony. When he stepped outside, Eryk caught someone just jumping from there."Who is that?" thought Eric.Just as he was preparing to jump from the second floor and hunt down the person who had just escaped, he heard the door to his uncle's study open with a bang. Several bodyguards were standing there with guns and radios in their hands. Eryk cou

The bullet shot towards Eryk's head. He saw it very clearly. But, there is something strange. When the bullet headed toward him, the atmosphere suddenly slowed until finally, the time seemed to stop completely.The two police officers in front of Eryk were like a picture in the action films where they did slow motion. The two police officers were surrounded by large amounts of white, brown and black pigeons.Eryk could even see the birds stop in a floating position. They don't move at all like a statue. One of the birds' claws was even seen penetrating the skin of the police officer. The blood that dripped from the scratch wound also froze and stopped flowing.Everything is like an illusion. While the air around Eryk feels empty. There is no sound, no wind, and everything is meaningless.The bullet stopped about one inch in front of Eryk's forehead. When Eryk moved his hands quickly to protect the head from bullets as if the world had ended right then and there. All the last moments l

Eryk rolled to the side to avoid the attack of a windstorm fired by a man in the red coat. The wind storm hit one of the walls of the building, making it crack.Eryk's heart beat fast. If he is late in avoiding, maybe his life won't be helped for the second time."You can't run away from me. Submit your summon spirit!""I'm not a summoner!" shouted Eryk. "I don't have any summon spirit."In the second attack, Eryk can avoid it even faster. The corner of his eyes caught something familiar to the man in the red coat. When his sleeves were injected, Eryk saw a tattoo there. The tattoo image is the same as the carving of a man in black in his dream.A dragon without a tail!The man in the red coat does not like failure. He became angry and began to exert his bigger strength. Both hands began to create a stronger vortex, manifesting black clouds above his head. It felt like the storm would come right away from the man's hands.Eryk can't fight him. He cannot protect himself even he's weapo

Alyssa Harris walked down an aisle in knee-high boots whose soles echoed softly. Her short skirt swayed as she walked. Her hair fell perfectly down to her waist. She walked with her head held high like a professional capital. On her chest was a pretty striking black rose brooch.Alyssa stopped in front of a door at the end of the hall. The door was closed with a large carved rose in the center. At the entrance's top is a nameplate that says the principal.After knocking on the door three times, Alyssa started to turn the knob and opened it. She stepped into the cool, rose-scented room, carefully keeping her composure under control.Alyssa turned around after closing the door. She was greeted with an attack of flying needles that shot toward her. Alyssa swiftly dodged and avoided the arrows.

He was unprepared for the sudden change of situation and place. When he realized he had moved and was now in the middle of a sea of electronic waste and used cars.Eryk didn't know that the Rockwool landfill also had a particular area for storing electronic waste and used cars. Only this time, Eryk knows the place. He saw mountains of household trash on the far side of where he was. So Eryk is sure that he has returned to Rockwool."Ow!" His arm was scratched when he fell on a pile of old and rusty iron.The same crow is still following Eryk. He perched on a pile of washing machine waste of all sizes and types.Eryk was annoyed to see the crow. He immediately jumped to catch it when the crow was off guard.

After the main prize was given, which was won by Eryk, suddenly, the vast, boundless field has now turned into a city. The town's appearance resembles the cities on levels one and two.Eryk and the other participants realized that the field they had just seen was a floating island where the arena matches were usually held.Lizard immediately ran away as fast as his foot could take it. But, the testers seem to let it be."Why did you let him when you found out he was cheating?" Rosemary shouted at the level three examiner through the loudspeaker before her."According to the rules we have explained," replied the examiner. "The only rule in the land of shadows is to deal with summoners who kill each other. The examiners and organizers will not take any action concerning theft and other crimes. But, because now you are still in the level three area. Even though the match is over, I still give the same rules."Rosemary suddenly grinned and glanced at Eryk. They both nodded their heads at e

Returning to the centre of the competition arena was much more troublesome and difficult than leaving it to seek the outer limits of the field. Eryk got lost several times and walked too far. However, they started to find summoners running last and slowing down."We are getting closer to the centre of the arena. In a moment, the centre of the field should be visible.""Hey, Young Man!" said the turtle summoner who strolled. He rides his turtle. "Why did you return to the centre of the arena? Did you find the limit? You should have crossed that line to survive.""Sorry, Old Man, it seems we failed to find the outer boundary of this field. Too vast and impossible. We haven't even reached it after an hour of running.""Gosh, if you guys who are as strong and as good as this can't even find it, what about my turtle who strolls and me?

White asked.Eryk opened his gift box and got a giant clam shell made of crystal."I don't know if this thing can be of any use? How about you?" replied Eryk.White opened her gift box and showed a pen made of goose down. The cell has solid toxic ink."Oh, I got some golden hairclips here.

If it is true that this land of shadows upholds rule and justice."Their conversation was cut short by an announcement."Participants, we have a little surprise for you on this wild night. The competition will be carried out earlier than the actual schedule."The two summoned spirits, Eryk and Rosemary, were surprised to hear the sound from the loudspeaker. Even though they are sure that a new competition will be held tomorrow morning. Suddenly the schedule was accelerated tonight, and they had no preparation."Testing at level two this time is a bit different. You don't need to come to the arena. We'll do it out in the open."Eryk and the summoners on the second floor also clearly heard the announcement. They all started scattering out of the house and their respective comfortable places.The summoners gathered in the plaza and filled the streets with panicked faces. They need clarification.Midnight and they were f
