Almighty Summoner System

Ban was not aware of what had happened in that unknown and strange realm. 

At this moment, he was still riding at the back of Tria comfortably as they moved towards their next target location. 

He did not give her the Purmi Fruit yet as there was a suitable time for everything. And according to the System, the Purmi Fruits effects have a chance to last longer when the Beast or the Monster who consumed it were not disturbed during the process. 

Ban still needed her for travel so it was not the time for her to consume it yet. 

Unlike before where Tria moved at an extreme speed, she was actually moving with just  a decent speed at the moment. 

Ban has already learned his lesson earlier. There were a lot of treasures here in the Death Swamp that were only waiting for the right people to claim it. He does not want to miss such treasures just because he could not see them due to Tria\'s extreme traveling speed. 

Hence, he ordered Tria to purposely slow down so that he could look around for those \'treasures\'. 

Unfortunately, he could only grumble on his luck as he realized that they had already arrived at their target location without spotting any \'treasures\' along the way. 

Ban sighed heavily as he focused his gaze on the area in front of them. 

The area in front of them was one that was full of withered trees. 

If one was not familiar with this location, they might find the place eerie as the place was really quite spooky with the withered trees that looked as if they would grab anyone at the next moment. 

However, Ban was not afraid of it. It was because the tree in here was actually not what they seemed to be. 

They looked withered or looked as if they had already dried for a couple of years, but in fact, they were actually quite healthy. 

These particular trees are called Cursed Trees. They earned their name not because they were really cursed but because they looked like they were cursed. 

Anyways, they were not Ban\'s target at the moment. At least, not the Cursed Trees that were in front of him. 

Ban patted Tria lightly and understanding his intentions, Tria immediately lowered her altitude before they stabilized at five meters above the ground. 

She continued forward, this time, more slowly as per Ban\'s instructions. 

The target this time was a Beast called Drainer Fox. According to the knowledge provided by the System, the Drainer Fox has the size of a normal pig. Mostly, they are orange in color and some have a tinge of yellow on their underbelly. 

They were a furry Beast, especially their tail that resembles that of a painting brush. 

They were a very aggressive Beast that would attack humans on sight, especially the lower rank ones. 

According to the System, Drainer Fox can only reach up to E-Elite Rank, despite being a Lord Grade Beast. 

Every Drainer Fox started as an F-Apprentice Rank and climbed all the way to E-Elite Rank after they consumed enough black-colored bugs or other foods that had the same effect.

Reaching Quasi D-Master Rank was possible, but the chance was extremely thin, hence Ban was confident that if there were any Drainer Fox around here, its strength would only be E-Elite Rank at most.

Drainer Fox also liked to move and hunt alone, the main reason why Ban chose this Beast as the next target. 

They loved eating black-colored bugs that mostly reside on the Cursed Trees. 

The information came from Mr. Nian again, but this time, Mr. Nian was not particularly sure if the Beast was still present here. 

After all, they were only spotted here due to them hunting the black-colored bugs from the trunks of the Cursed Trees. 

So if for some reason the bugs died out, then there was a high chance that the Drainer Fox would move away as well to search for another place with black-colored bugs. 

However, after observing around and still discovering the presence of the bugs, Ban was instantly relieved as it seems that his time here would not be wasted.

And he felt elated that after two minutes of searching, he finally spotted their target. 

At this moment, the fox was digging under a huge Cursed Tree. Based on its actions, it must be digging the nest of black-colored bugs from there on the ground.

The fox did not pay attention to its surroundings as it was confident that the Cursed Tree area only had him and the black-colored bugs.

The fox had its back facing towards Ban. 

They were still far away from the Beast so it still hadn\'t noticed them yet. Ban was only able to spot it due to its color being orange, while the surrounding trees and the surroundings only had the gray and old-like color. 

Ban was not haughty enough to appear right in front of the Lord Grade E-Elite Rank Drainer Fox.

Both of them might be on the same rank but Ban still doesn\'t want to overestimate himself.

If there was Eva, he might even look down on these kinds of Beasts due to his confidence in Eva and to her strength and Skills that have proven to be useful time and time again. 

Unfortunately, she was cultivating at the moment and he doesn\'t want to disturb her either.

Hence, he could only fight this Lord Grade E-Elite Rank on his own. 

If anyone heard of this, they might not believe it even if it was Kuys himself who said it. After all, who was so insane that they even want to fight a Lord Grade Beast on E-Elite Rank solo? Did that person have a death wish? He was even daring enough to fight with a Lord Grade Beast? Truly nuts! 

Of course, it\'s not that Ban was not confident in defeating the fox. After all, he has the knowledge about the fox\'s weaknesses and Skills, as long as he plays his cards right, then it\'s not impossible to kill the Lord Grade Drainer Fox at all. 

Of course, necessary permission was also needed. He ordered Tria to descend to the ground before he checked the cooldowns of his skills.

Ban nodded his head after seeing that all of them were available for use. He instructed Tria to stay put and be alert at all times. In case a worse scenario happened, he instructed her to rescue him immediately. 

Tria was his backup plan.

He then removed the Noble Moth Cloak and the Ant Mask for the time being as their effects might become a problem this time as he planned to sneak behind the fox before delivering a blow like an assassin. 

He did not remove the others as they were also one of his backup plans if ever he failed on his assissination attempt. 

In fact, the Noble Moth Cloak and the Ant Mask were also the same. He stored them inside the Dimensional Storage Earring so that he could wear them again immediately in case something goes wrong.

After setting everything up, Ban no longer hesitated as he slowly approached the Lord Grade Beast who was still busy digging for its food, not knowing that it would actually become a food itself a moment later.
