Summon System In My Novel - Chapter 42
Liam’s POV:
My grandma’s birthday party has been going smoothly with everyone coming and paying their respect. My great grandfather Almericus is still bragging about my grandma while he is actually bragging about me. This guy is too much of a daughter con. Even his friends are all cons. Some are sister con other are grandson cons. What surprises me the most is one of them is still bragging about his dead sister. I don’t remember writing all of these people or their personalities.
The red and white haired woman is Elyenora of Central Continent Curnow Clan. She is the great elder of the Curnew Clan. This clan is a special clan because they are not blood-related. All of them were adopted by Elyenora Curnow. Elyenora is the only real member of the clans because her clan didn’t survive the last demon’s invasion. She established the clan again and adopted other people to compensate for the lack of numbers. She is a granddaughter con similar to grandpa Almericus. She appeared in the novel in one of the chapters in volume 4 where she fought alongside the novel’s MC against the demons who killed her clan.
Her clan used to keep a key to an ancient cultivator inheritance. The key is a dark-colored ring which would lead to the other 2 keys when activated. Unfortunately, the Curnow clan didn’t know how to activate the ring or what the ring hides. To get the ring, I will have to make a transaction with Elyenora. I just hope that I attracted her attention after saying I want to meet her on a date. I had to say those words because she will leave as soon as the birthday party is over. Also, to get her friendship or at least trust, I want to show her that pervert old man torture. Elyenora is kind of a person who loves these types of things.
I looked around and I could see the trash emperor is talking to the pervert old man to take the crown prince as his disciple. But, the pervert old man looked angry because he won’t get his part of the deal.
While looking around, I noticed the young man who kept following us in the palace and helped Ren and Lucy. From the way he walks, I noticed that he is still injured from the last time. So, I walked toward him.
I stopped in front of him and said: “Hi, how are your injuries? Those elders didn’t care about you or your warning, right? Hehehe”
The young man looked at me with eyes that said he doesn’t want to talk to me. He said: “What injuries? I kicked those bastards ass!! HMPH!! If it wasn’t for me, your people would have been in a tough situation!”
I started to laugh at him saying: “Hahaha You are an unlucky one. Crushed by an array and then beaten up by elders!! Hahaha. Thank you for your help. What is your name?”
The young man smiled as he said: “King Liam, It’s my pleasure to meet you. I am Nip a disciple of Elder Mial from.ahhh”
*BANG!!*
Before Nip could finish his words my great grandfather Almericus punched Nip into the wall and said: ” Little Liam, those old fools don’t believe my daughter is the best! Come and beat their two disciples!!”
R.I.P. Nip, I won’t forget your worthless assistance for me and my people. You are just too unlucky to stay by my side
Then Grandpa Almericus took me to the middle of the birthday party’s dance floor and said loudly: ” We are doing a competition to prove who is the strongest in the youngest generation! Those who are in the first place will have the choice to receive a gift or a request from each of us the 4 great seniors and open invitations to join our sects! Also, the 2nd and 3rd place will receive a small gift and personal invitations to join our sects!! It’s a great opportunity for the young generation!!! Little Liam will be representing my daughter in the competition!! The competition will start in 30 minutes go and prepare yourselves!”
Really? I am representing my grandma? This old man is too much! But, winning this competition might help me in requesting Elyenora to give me the dark ring!! I will do my best to win the competition!! Also, open invitations are very valuable. It means I can make anyone join their sect with the open invitations.
I started to walk back to my grandma and my sister to talk with them about the competition. Then, a young girl pumped into me. I looked at her and shook my head. This is Lady Lydia’s granddaughter! It’s her 4th time pumping into me, stepping on my foot, and walking away when I look at her. What’s wrong with this girl?
Before she could walk away I stood in front of her and said: “Hi!! Are you going to participate in the competition? You might get the 3rd or 2nd place!”
She looked at me with a slightly red face as she said: ” 3rd or 2nd? HMPH!! Does an old woman lover think he can win against me? I am going to get the 1st place!! Wait. If I get the first place, then maybe I can. Keyyaaaaaa” Her face became as red as a tomato with smoke coming out.
She then looked at my great grandfather with stars in her eyes. I don’t know why, but I feel if she wins she will request something very bad from my great grandfather.
“Ughh..” She then stepped on my foot and left to her grandmother. If her grandmother wasn’t my grandma’s friend. I would have crushed this little annoying girl with my foot!!
On my way to meet grandma, I can hear people talking about the competition and then pointing their fingers at me. At the side of the party the emperor and the crown prince were looking at me with hate in their eyes. I looked at them and smirked. In my eyes, these two fools will die as soon as my grandma gives me the green light to do so. It’s only a matter of time before I receive the green light.
When I reach my grandma she looked at me and said: “Are you sure you want to enter the competition? If you don’t want to join, tell me and I will make them stop!!”
I smiled and said: “I have to join and get the first place. I have my own reasons to do so. Also, I want to prove my grandma is the best!! Hehehe”
She smiled and said: ” Don’t tell me you got my papa’s sickness!! Haha”
I took her gift out and said: ” Grandma, I am sorry for saying this late. But, happy birthday!! This is a small gift. I hope you like it!!”
She opened it and smiled saying: “Thank you, it’s very beautiful”
On the side, my sister looked at the gift then looked at me with wide eyes as she said: ” Liam! What about Lily!! Lily wants gifts too!!!” Kurma who was carried by her hand also looked at me with wide eyes looking for his gift.
I took out her gift as I said: ” How can I forget my little sister! This is your gift I hope you like it!! Kurma don’t look at me like this. Ughh Fine, you will get your gift later. ”
After receiving the gift, she opened and said: “Lily love it!! Thank you, big brother!” During the time I spent here, I noticed that Lily refer to herself as a third person when she is very emotional. Usually, she talks normally when we play together.
After a while, 20 young men including me were summoned to a newly built battle ring. I was the youngest of the group. I can see Nip who changed his clothed, Crown Prince, the stupid girl who keeps making me feel chills with her looks, children of nobles from the empire and nearby countries, and the 2 young people who cam with grandpa Almericus.
An old man walked forward and said: ” I am Hamo of Sky Fire Sect! I will be the judge for this competition! There are 20 competitors from the young generations!! There will be 10 fights in the 1st phase, 5 fights in the 2nd phase, and 1 fights for the final phase. The 1st and 2nd phases will be 2 people per fight. However, the final phase will be 5 people free for all. The first 5 ranks will be determined by eliminations. The last one standing is a winner and 1st rank!”
He looked around and then said: “The rules are simple: 1. No killing is allowed! 2. You lose when you get out of the ring. 3. Stop when the other party surrender. 4. No external help is allowed. Those who break the rules will be given a punishment based on their actions. If you kill someone, you will be killed. Remember this is a friendly match. So, don’t go too far while fighting. Is that understood?”
All of us nodded our heads.
He then said: ” For the 1st battle, it’s going to be Jesper Von Rynald against Gale of Frozen Sea Breeze Sect!”
