NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 47: Beast Servant Summoning
Daniels fell silent, which was his response when he heard Aaron's request. His eyes rolled to Aaron's side, watching Elsa thoroughly.
Everyone in this place knew how valuable MP Crystal level 3 was, and its high price made it a rarity in the market. Aaron asked for an item that Daniels and Elsa might find difficult to fulfill.
"Why? Why are you silent?" Aaron asked.
"Nothing. Do you know the MP Crystal and how valuable it is?"
"I know. That's why I asked for it."
"Listen, Lewis. There are a few items I could give you, but as for the MP Crystal, I'd be hard-pressed to give it to you even if you're credited with saving my city," Daniels replied.
Disappointment, that's what Aaron received when his request was rejected by Daniels. Aaron knew how valuable MP Crystals were, but he thought a large group like Dimension Justice must have abundant MP Crystals, no matter the level.
Daniels didn't want to lose his authority and pride. He took out three items that were many people's favorites; the man did not hesitate to give them to Aaron in exchange for MP Crystals.
[List Item:]
[1 Talent Rank S Slip]
[1 Attribute Status Full Booster Lv. 3]
[1 Fire Elemental Beast Full Fragment Lv. 2]
"I think these three items are suitable for you, at least for your current level."
The three items were actually something Daniels wanted to keep for his and Elsa's later needs. Still, Aaron's significant role in defending the northern gate had to be appreciated.
Elsa looked at Daniels, then gave a graceful nod, saying that she didn't mind if Daniels gave the items to Aaron.
Daniels handed them over to Aaron, allowing him to look closely at the details of the three items.
[Item Details:]
[Name: Slip Talent Rank]
[Grade: S]
[Description: Useful for adding extra talents to the user, can be used as a secondary talent. Feature Secondary Talent has been unlocked on the host]

Three system panels appeared before Aaron, explaining the items Daniels had promised him one by one. Isabella and the others approached, curious about the uses of the three items.
"Do you have many of these items?" Aaron asked.
"Sure. If you're willing to change the MP Crystals to these three items, I'll give a fragment beast and a complete attribute status booster to each of your members."
"If you insist on getting the MP Crystals, then unfortunately, I can't give them to you. Do you understand, Lewis?" asked Daniels, speaking softly while gently patting Aaron's right shoulder.
His older age made his demeanor feel like an older brother to Aaron. Aaron glanced to the side. Isabella and the others' faces looked enthusiastic as if they wanted the item so much.
'What should I choose? My desire or the advantage for them?' Aaron asked, feeling a dilemma.
After thinking silently while closing his eyes, Aaron finally decided to take the three items. If he took the MP Crystal, only he would enjoy it, which wouldn't be a good thing.
"Good."
"Can you do me a favor, Elsa?"
"Eh? I thought you were going to give it directly to them."
"The item is in a chest in the warehouse. It's quite a distance to go there."
"Huft!"
Elsa sighed and stepped closer to Isabella, Clara, and Liel. They got fragment beasts with different elements, Liel got a fire element beast, Clara got a water element beast, and Isabella got a wind element beast.
Not only that, the three got a level 3 full attribute status booster as well. Clara couldn't hide her excitement. She would get a servant beast, according to what she had wanted for a long time.
"Can we summon the servant now?" asked Clara, causing many people to focus their attention on her.
Daniels laughed, pleased to see they were happy to have an item gifted to them. The man said clearly that his residence had a room for summoning servants, especially beasts.
He offered to have them perform beast servant summoning at his residence as Daniels guided them. Aaron, as the leader of their party, had no objection.
Daniels and Elsa left first while Aaron and the others followed.
The man said the room for summoning servants was in a different building, with various types of equipment that could make it easier for the host to summon servants.
Arriving at the servant summoning room, a circle with ancient script was on the floor. The building doubles as a library. The second floor is filled with bookshelves and magic records.
Elsa explained the mechanism of summoning servant beasts to Aaron and the others. One of the essential requirements for summoning was a core item.
If it was a servant beast, then a fragment beast was required. If it is a mythological race servant, it requires race blood. And if it's a soul servant, it requires a soul core.
"For the servant itself, the highest rank is the soul servant. Finding a soul core is really difficult. It's lucky if one manages to obtain a soul servant."
"Didn't Lewis have two soul servants? Is it really that hard?" asked Clara, heard by Elsa and Daniels.
Daniels pointed ahead at Aaron, wondering about the truth of Clara's words. Aaron couldn't help but think that Clara had said something completely true.
'If he's already got a soul servant, then his power is probably stronger than mine,' Daniels said.
Elsa tried to be calm. She slowly guided Isabella and the others to perform the servant contract. The servant menu panel appeared before Isabella and Liel but not Clara.
The servant feature was still locked because her level was at level 34.
Aaron realized Clara's concern. He took the EXP crystals and gave them to Clara, ten EXP crystals level 5. That was enough to make Clara level up to level 36 and unlock the servant menu feature.
[DING! Congratulations on leveling up]
[Level 37]
[DING! Congratulations on being promoted to the second tier as an Intermediate Mage]
[DING! Servant feature unlocked]
[Hosts can add new servants, increase servant levels, or terminate servant contracts]
[Servant Talent Rank cannot be increased]
"Thank you," Clara said, feeling helped by Aaron.
Aaron nodded. Now, three people lined up in front of the circular floor with ancient script carved on it. Elsa saw Aaron outside the circle.
"Don't you want to summon a servant beast?" asked Elsa.
"I've had enough of my soul servants."
"Okay."
Elsa showed how to add servants by pressing the Add Servant menu and then pressing another menu, Beast Servant. Isabella, Liel, and Clara did exactly as Elsa had taught them.
[Beast Servant selected]
[Servant Contract]
[Required items:]
[10 Elemental Beast Fragments]
[MP amounted to 5000]
Elsa asked the three women to take the elemental beast fragments that had been given earlier, then placed the items in a small circle before them, which amounted to ten circles. They only needed to put them in one and not mix them with each other.
[Confirmation of item availability for the Beast Servant Contract Ritual?]
[Yes] [No]
"You can press the Yes menu!"
Isabella and the others did exactly as Elsa instructed. Another panel appeared to detect the presence of items according to the requirements of the beast servant contract.
[Scanning items for beast servant contract ritual:]
[10 Elemental Beast Fragments Detected]
[Total 5000 MP detected]
[Beast Servant Contract Ritual requirements met!]
[Initiating Contract Ritual]
[MP -5000]
The small circle where they placed the beast fragments began to glow brightly with different colors, taking the shape of a towering pillar.
Isabella felt her energy seemed to be absorbed into the small circle, according to the amount of MP needed to perform the servant contract.
Daniels stepped closer to Aaron, accompanying the young man while watching the process of summoning servants.
He was amazed that Aaron already had a soul servant, something he couldn't even do.
The man asked where Aaron could get the core of one's soul. Aaron obviously couldn't answer because it would reveal his true identity.
"I got it from a hidden artifact in the Dark Pillar."
"Hidden artifact, huh? I had expected it; there must be a soul core in there."
The light in the small circle grew thicker and burned. Isabella and the others were asked to withstand the turbulent power of the servant beast.
Elsa said that the shape of the servant beast was now formed following the elemental characteristics of the fragment.
"Will they be okay?" asked Aaron.
"Calm down. It went better than I expected."
Slowly, the three women could see the shape of the servant beast based on what the elemental beast fragment wanted.
The light faded. Isabella got a wolf beast with a blue-white fur color pattern, Clara got a whale beast with energy lines on its body, and Liel got a phoenix beast with bright flames.
[Servant]
[DING! Congratulations on establishing a servant contract]
[Number of Servant: 1]
[Name: Wolf of the Northern Mountains]
[Talent: -]
[Talent Rank:-]
[Servant Level: 1]
[CP +5000]
"I got it!" said Isabella, unable to hide her happiness.
She walked over to the wolf, already her beast servant, rubbing the beast being tame towards its master. Elsa smiled, then applauded their success.
"Beast Servant has its own level. Every 10 levels up, its body shape will change to become more beautiful, its ability will also become stronger."
"How do we increase the servant's level?" asked Clara.
"By using Beast Elixir. Many supply stores sell it."
Isabella carried her wolf beast servant, then stepped back to show it to Aaron. Aaron smiled, about to rub the wolf's head.
But, instead, the wolf acted aggressively, almost biting Aaron's hand. Aaron was startled.
"Haha! It's only tame towards its master; don't think of it like a pet, Lewis."
"Oh, I understand. I'm not used to beast servants yet."
