Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

One week later…

The Landmark Construction Company fully showed its competence as construction works continued without abating in Legolas' plot of land.

Originally, building construction normally took months since most construction processes took time to solidify and harden enough to become safe for use but things were not exactly of the same standards in Planet Darvis.

With the introduction of Elementalists, mostly Earth Elementalists, construction work became a lot easier since more elements became controllable.

Like now, Legolas' flagship mansion was already taking shape.

The building's foundation was already erected as every day, it rose a few meters higher. From the skies, Legolas watched everything with a brilliant smile on his face as he envisioned the final state of his organization's headquarters.

----

After his recent breakthrough to the Grade C realm, his base control level when fusing with his beasts increased by an order of magnitude.

His fusion with any of his contracted beasts was now better than before.

Fused with Bran, Legolas was able to watch everything about the construction work from a vantage point in the skies and was why he was able to easily picture the final state.

'Contracting them was the right decision'.

'The cream on top the cherry is that I won't be paying a dime for all these'.

He smiled in satisfaction.

The fact that he won't be paying a dime became all the more crazy when the truth became known that the approximate budget for this gigantic construction was 11 billion Darvis Credits!

This was a humungous amount of credits!

When the construction was over, it would officially take the accolade of the biggest headquarters of any organization in Planet Darvis.

The only problem was that Legolas still didn't have a name for his organization. He felt troubled. 'What do I call it?'

'Welp, perhaps I need to look for inspiration'.

As Legolas watched from the skies at the construction work in a satisfied manner, he suddenly made a decision. "I think it's finally time to explore".

At this stage of the construction, his input and personal supervision was not as needed as before. With Christensen acting as a stand-in for him, Legolas got all the luxury in the world to act as carefreely as he wanted.

'Making Christensen my student was really a genius move on my part'.

Also, preparations for the swearing-in ceremony were already ramping up. Not just that, the National Dominator tournament for players in Planet Darvis was finally about to start in just a day from now.

The main battle of Version 1 already came to an end, but it was after all these were done that the sequel to Version 1 will finally be over.

During the time while all these happened, Legolas intended to be productive.

'After my breakthrough, I have a lot of things to take care of to maximize my potentials as a Grade C Summoner'.

'When the time is right, I need to take all my contracted beasts to the Spirit Plane to have a proper trip to fish for compatible Spirit Beasts'.

'Also, since Bran already became a Void Lord ahead of time, I need to visit the Void Dimension with him to start preparations on building his Void army'.

'Akela also needs help to build his Wolf Empire in the Beast plane'.

'Lastly, I need to take up my 4th contracted beast'.

Legolas' eyes shone as he thought of the last part. Taking on new contracted beasts was always something that excited summoners. To them, it was a memorable experience like they were adopting new kids.

'The only problem is I don't have a specific candidate in mind'.

'I have no choice but to take it as it comes then'.

With that, Legolas finally descended from the skies. He told his 2 students his intentions before getting prepared to leave, in a few minutes, he was done.

"Bran, do it".

Without hesitation, the Void Raven triggered his Special Ability.

Bzzz!

Through his authority and connection to the Void Dimension as a Void Lord, Bran was able to tear a hole in space to create a unique teleportation portal.

Unlike other teleportation portals, the portal that opened was filled with bright golden lights that made it seem like it was a portal that led to heaven.

Bran did not hesitate, the Void Raven directed one last look at his master before diving in as he was sucked in instantly.

"Here goes nothing…" Legolas also jumped in.

They were gone in an instant.

…

Bzzz!

It took some time for Legolas' eyes to acclimatize to his new surroundings. When they finally did, he was finally able to see his immediate surroundings.

The Void Dimension was thick.

This was Legolas' first impression immediately.

All around him was a thick covering like clouds. The thick covering was mostly golden, making him feel like he was floating in a world comprised of golden clouds. Golden clouds were predominant but they were not the sole color here.

Far away, Legolas could already see greyish blue thick coverings.

At this moment, Legolas was surprised as the golden clouds seemed to press against his skin and suppress him in a way that left him slightly suffocated.

'So, this is the Void Dimension?' Legolas was amazed.

In his previous life, despite not being privileged enough to get a contracted beast with Void bloodline like Bran, he was privileged enough to be tormented by the prideful taunts of lucky players who won the lottery.

As he observed curiously, his virtual interface suddenly lit up a notification.

-----

You have entered a hostile Dimension: Void Dimension!

Your overall base stats have been suppressed by 50%!

You have a contracted beast with Void Bloodline!

Calculating suppression deduction…, please wait…

Calculation complete!

Your overall base stats have been suppressed by 20%!

…

[Bran has triggered bloodline state: Home Sweet Home!]

[Congratulations! Bran has unlocked multiple Void Dimension-Exclusive bloodline bonuses!]

----

"Wow!" Legolas was surprised as he looked at Bran.

To his surprise, his contracted beast was far different from the Bran that he knew here. At this moment, the golden stripes surrounding Bran's black body seemed to have been stimulated as they glowed brighter than ever before.

Not only did they glow, as they glowed, they also radiated power.

Bzzz!

Legolas was taken aback as spatial fluctuations took place around the Void Raven. This was not natural, Bran seemed to be awakening strange powers and he also seemed to be preparing for a fight.

"A fight?"

-----

Warning! You have attracted the attention of a local Void Warlord!

----

"Intruders!" It first came softly.

"WHO…?!" Then the voice reverberated like thunder.

"WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO DORONION'S TERRITORY?!"

"…" Legolas gulped as he felt the multiple powerful presences.

Whoosh!

In just a few seconds, multiple Void Beasts warped from deep inside their territory as they surrounded Legolas in no time.

Most of these beasts were totally different from anything that Legolas knew before, most had deformed monstrous shapes, while others were more basic like mutated Void Lizards and Void Crows.

One common fact about them was that they all floated in this world.

At their lead was the most powerful of them all, the one who spoke. This was a surprisingly small reptilian void monster who stood upright like a human, but his long and arrow-head tail gave away it's identity as a menacing monster.

It had the head of a Crocodile with menacing rows of teeth stored in it.

This Void monster was not floating alone, it rode a Void monster that looked like a bloated golden Bug. This gigantic monster opened its humungous mouth, exposing the saber-sharp and long rows of teeth that adorned it.

Both the Reptilian void monster and it's Bug mount were Grade C Void Monsters!

He demanded again. "WHO ARE YOU?"

"HOW DARE YOU INVADE DORONION'S TERRITORY?"

It spoke in a strange language but surprisingly, Legolas was able to understand it. He was puzzled. 'Is this because of my connection to Bran?'

'Maybe I should try speaking to placate it'.

He coughed. "Ahem…, I mean no harm Lord Doronion".

"I didn't come to invade your territory; I only came here by coincidence".

Doronion's Reptilian face turned into a fearsome frown the next moment; Legolas' heart skipped a beat. 'Did I say something wrong?'

The Void Reptile glared at them even as the atmosphere turned tense.

'Bran, do something'.

Doronion finally spoke again. "THEY'RE INSULTING US!"

"LET'S KILL THEM!"

"Huh?" Legolas was flabbergasted. 'What logic is that?'

Unfortunately, the Void Monsters didn't listen to him.

"KILL!!!"

They roared and charged at him.
