66: Return

Return

"EVERYONE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR COMMANDER REALM ELEMENTAL SPIRIT STONES", as the summoner king said that, 5 stones appeared in front of everyone making them excited.1

'HEY BOY, I AM INJECTING A SMALL ORB FILLED WITH VERY RICH ESSENCE OF NATURE MIXED WITH MY POWER AND A MYSTERIOUS TECHNIQUE INTO YOUR BODY AND ALSO THE FINAL REWARD IS MY BLESSING IS ALREADY IMPLANTED ON YOU', the summoner king's gruff voice sounded in Ajax's ears.

As soon as he felt something enter into his body, a series of system notifications rung in his head.

'Ding,

Summoner king blessed you with his protection, please check its uses in the user interface.

'Ding,

Some mysterious energy orb is entering into the host's body

'Ding,

Do you want to use it?

'No', he silently rejected it, since there are others here which will make him target if he suddenly leveled up to peak elite soldier realm.

'Respected summoner king, how can I use the blessing', Ajax silently asked.

'It will be automatically used, so you don't need to worry', the gruff voice replied impatiently.

"OK THEN, YOUNG ONES, MY PROJECTION'S TIME IS UP. I HOPE WE WILL MEET YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. NOW GO", as soon as he said go, a portal appeared below them and swallowed all the six participants.

"WHICH SUMMONING MASTER'S INHERITANCE DID THAT KID GOT. HE CAN ALREADY CONTRACT AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WITHOUT EVEN REACHING 15 YEARS AGE", the summoning king muttered after all the participants were swallowed into the portal.

"I HOPE HE DOESN'T FALL BEFORE REACHING HIS FULL POTENTIAL….sigh", he sighed.

...…

In front of the Inheritance ground entrance,

Suddenly a portal appeared throwing six people out of it and disappeared without a trace.

"Captain, look Ajax and brother Paulin came out", the always-excited Lewis shouted loudly in Edmond's ear, pointing his finger in the direction of six people.

"I know, I know. I am not blind", Edmond slapped Lewis on his head as he replied.

"Grand Elder Lin, Princess Daphne is returned safe and sound from the inheritance ground", a young man in the soldier attire informed Grandpa Lin at the return of their young princess.

"Ok, alert everyone to get ready. I don't want any ambushes to happen when we return to royal capital", Old man Lin ordered the young men.

"Yes, Grand Elder Lin", the young men rushed back quickly to alert everyone.

After ordering him, the old man Lin walked towards the entrance.

The six young participants stood up from the ground and removed the dust on their clothes and walked towards their respective camps.

"Brother Paulin and Ajax, how did it go?", Lewis asked them, as soon as they met with Edmond and others.

"Although we didn't get any inheritance, we got something invaluable from the inheritance ground", Paulin acted mysteriously and didn't reveal the thing that quickly. In his heart, he was relieved to see both Lewis and Jeff are fine.

"Brother Paulin, stop acting mysterious and say quickly", Lewis started pestering Paulin continuously.

"Hey Lewis, stop bothering your senior brother", now Udo smacked Lewis.

"Ok ok", as he said that, his gaze landed on Ajax.

"Also, not him", Edmond came from behind and continued, "You guys may be tired, let's go back to our residence and fresh up first, we will continue after that", Edmond soon left with his mercenary squad.

No one remained there, as soon as their young elite member returned to their camp, they quickly left.

…..

As soon as they entered their residence, all went to fresh up and relax.

….

Next day morning,

The Hazegrove mercenary squad members sat in the main hall.

"Lewis and jeff, what happened to you both, why didn't you make it to the final phase", Paulin asked both of them.

"Those damned cursed step", Lewis cursed at the steps as he continued, "I was unable to cross after reaching 499th step, but I set my foot on that step mustering all the strength I had which blasted me out of the inheritance ground via a portal", Lewis gritted his teeth and replied.

"Same with me", Jeff Keenaxe replied shortly after that.

"Now, it's your turn to explain what is the mysterious thing you got in the inheritance ground", Lewis asked curiously.

"I will not say", Lewis disappointed at Paulin's words but the next sentence made his eyes shine, "But I can show you".

As soon as Paulin finished his words, a white and blue colored transparent being appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone meet my contracted elemental spirit, Glacious. He is a dual elemental spirit", Paulin introduced his elemental spirit to everyone.

Except for Ajax, everyone including Edmond and Udo was also shocked.

"Paulin but you said, you didn't get any inheritance yesterday, but", before Edmond can finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted, "The elemental spirits are not considered as an inheritance because the final six participants got a contracted elemental spirit each for themselves, including me"
