Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~

Allen said he had asked for permission first.

'I see. That's not something I can decide so easily, the Beast God Garm should agree first…'

"So you're saying I have to defeat you to make you my partner, right?"

Allen jumped on his feet with his sword on hand.

"Wait, Allen?!"

Cecile shouted at him, realizing how everyone was getting tense there.

'What are you trying to say?'

Luvanka crossed his two sets of arms, glaring at Allen.

"Lord Albahar already agreed, so why should someone else agree to it now?"

Allen wondered why the Beast God had to be involved now.

(He might resent me if I force him to become my summon, but I don't have time for this.)

Allen's party was really busy in the divine realm. Some were in the Earth Labyrinth, others were training in various Temples, and he still had to complete Isiris' quest for Cecile. Luvanka would also have more information about the Paradise of Primordial Beasts. There were so many things to do, and Allen wanted to go through everything quickly.

Having Luvanka would also give them more Sacred Beads, which likely enhanced Strength, Attack, Endurance, and Agility. At least seeing what the other S Rank summons gave. Those Sacred Beads would help a lot with fighting Nestiad, and those still training.

'I have no intention of helping humans.'

"That's alright, think of it as helping me instead."

'So you want me to think of it as helping you as a beastman?'

Hearing Shea, Luvanka seemed less averse to the idea.

(It feels like he doesn't want to, without a reason. That's so mean after how Albahar helped us. Though I think there's a lot of beastmen who venerate Luvanka, so he's important too.)

"I'll be direct. We need your help, so I'd really appreciate your cooperation."

Allen let go of his sword and bowed, trying to convince him that way, asking for help. In the past, Luvanka had lived in Albahar, hunting monsters to keep beastmen safe. He had once been a beastman himself, but after making a pact with Garm, he was turned into a Sacred Beast. At least that was the story Merus told.

'I see. Hmm, then let me ask you a question.'

"Alright, go ahead."

'What are you trying to gain with the help of my power?'

"That's a really broad question."

'I want to know your resolve.'

Luvanka crossed his arms more tightly, emphasizing his muscular chest.

(I see, it's like with Kuwatoro. I have to answer correctly then.)

"I want to adventure through the world!"

'Huh? Adventure…through the world?'

Allen announced loudly, showing his desire, but Luvanka looked confused.

"But the Demon King keeps getting in the way. I need your help to adventure through the Paradise of Primordial Beasts, and to defeat the Demon King."

'I see.. So the solution to everything was right here all along, Hahahahah!!'

Luvanka began laughing loudly. Helping Allen fulfill his ambitions would also solve all the issues with the beastmen and his own position.

(Now he's laughing? He looked so angry earlier though.)

"Of course, I plan on going on more adventures after vanquishing the Demon King. I'll be counting on your help when that time comes as well."

Allen's eyes twinkled like an excited child as he spoke of his dreams. It was like his voice was digging itself into the minds of everyone there.

'I see. It seems my hesitation was foolish in the end…'

"So you'll help us then?"

'Right, I'm the one who should be replying. I'll help you.'

(Hm? Somehow he looks like a lost person or child. But I should focus now.)

Allen decided to take out his Sacred Beast Stone from his Grimoire before Luvanka changed his mind. That was the item he used to turn Sacred Beasts into his summons.

"Alright, become my summon."

'I, the Sacred Beast Luvanka, will help you.'

Saying that, Luvanka's body turned to light and vanished inside the Sacred Beast Stone.

'Sacred Beast Luvanka has been accepted. Analysis to turn him into a summon underway…analysis complete. Beast S summon unsealed. As the Sacred Beast was encountered in good shape, it can be summoned without the use of Sacred Bead Pints.'

"Alright! I did it!!"

(It's been a while since I got an S Rank summon.)

2 months had passed since Graham became his Wraith S summon in Shandar. Allen quickly checked his stats to see what had changed.

-10 more Levels since last time -Blessings added to stats list (separate from Blessings from Gods) -If a stronger Blessing overrides a weaker one, only the stronger one is displayed (ie. Resistances vs Immunity) -Only 1 summon can be under Growth Level 9, so there's always at least 1 summon card of each one -There's an increased number of Bird summons for the Earth labyrinth, and Wraith summons for communication -Since the holder has a limit of 90, Merus is constantly Deleting and Creating Bird and Wraith summons in the Earth Labyrinth, Creating Fish summons for buffs in between

(Nice nice, S Rank summons always give me a lot of stats from their Blessing.)

[Species] Beast [Rank] S [Name] Luvanka [Strength] 50000 [Mana] 40000 [Attack] 50000 [Endurance] 40000 [Agility] 40000 [Intelligence] 40000 [Luck] 40000 [Blessings] Strength +5000, Attack +5000, Extra Strength Regeneration (1% per second) [Special Skills] Hell Hit, Hundred Crack Fist, (being analyzed), Roar, Beast Blood [Awakened Skills] Mythical Beast Mode, Sacred Bead Creation, (Sealed)

(Oh wow, there's so many things I have to test now. He seems to be mostly a frontliner from his Skills though. Also, Extra Strength Regeneration sounds like a really good buff. Now I don't have to worry about my Strength while I'm in the divine realm. I just need Extra Spiritual Power Regeneration and it'll be perfect!)

There were many things about Luvanka that made Allen curious, but his Blessings caught Allen's eyes the most. Now he could passively regenerate his Strength at all times. He had recently obtained Spiritual Power regeneration rings, but not even that could satiate his greed.

"Come out for a bit."

'Okay.'

Allen took Luvanka's card and summoned him.

"Ohhhhh!!"

There were loud voices from the beastmen, and the room began to creak.

"Hmm, you're really big now, about 30 meters I'd say."

The room was enormous, but the Beast S summon [Luvanka] was 30 meters tall and could not fit in, and he had to sit down before his head broke the ceiling.

As a Sacred Beast, Luvanka had been 10 meters tall, but was much bigger now. He had darkish brown fur, with a silver stripe on his back. His bulging muscles were clearly visible even with all the fur, and there was a second set of arms growing from his shoulders.

(I see. Hundred Crack Fist. That sounds like a multi-hit Skill, I knew Beast summons were good to fight.)

"Hey, Allen, stop that already. Everyone is watching."

Allen's excitement would not stop as he looked at his new S Rank summon, but Cecile dragged his mind back to reality.
