Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

519 Crimson Ring Planet

The Crimson Ring planet was massive, like 7 times of Planet Darvis.

It was a perfect depiction of what galactic society looked like.

Since making their way into the Crimson Ring Planet, Legolas and his companions spent all the time inside the Army Commander's home. It was where the feast was held, and it was built on top the battle arena.

After leaving the battle arena though, they could finally face the planet in it's fullest glory and it was nothing short of beautiful.

It was already nighttime but this planet was illuminated everywhere.

There were floating cities in the skies, including light bridges that led from one city to another. The normal sky vehicles could take a passenger round this massive planet within just 50 minutes, this was the power of technology.

Most of the buildings in sight were massive skyscrapers and weird works of architecture. Here, Mages could do even better work than Earth Elementalists.

Being able to manipulate the arcane powers of nature to harness elements like glass and all kinds of material, the most ridiculous of architecture that architects could never dream of completing on Earth were created.

All these were one of many elements making up this boisterous planet.

Its single most defining feature was the speed shuttles that hovered everywhere in the air, this technological aircraft was everywhere.

Lanes were made through the air to regulate traffic as different shuttles flew through the air.

According to the guard that was assigned to them by the old Commander, red lanes were for public transport, blue lanes for rich guests who could afford personal shuttles, and purple lanes for VIP, they were VIP.

5 individuals accompanied Legolas to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union, an organization that spanned across star fields.

Inside the shuttle, it took all their willpower as warriors to stop Christensen, Blade, and Uranus from screaming like excited kids who saw toys for the first time.

Champion Onana had an amused look on his face as he watched them looking everywhere in fascination while trying hard to hide it.

"Dad! A Dragon, look, it's a dragon!"

"…" Christensen almost palmed his face.

In the end, it was Uranus who exposed them as f*cking bumpkins.

He was not wrong though, once they arrived at the closest city, they saw a real literal Dragon soaring the skies. This Dragon may be of the same size as the Ancient Dragons in Planet Darvis, but its aura was on a whole other level.

"It's a Grade B+ Dragon". Legolas commented.

"That's the Commander's war stead". The guard commented.

"…"

"….."

Silence reigned in the shuttle for the next 3 minutes right until they got to their destination.

Coming down, they saw another aspect of this planet, the streets.

The streets were filled with all kind of creatures. Of course, it was mostly Nak citizens and humans. Humans were literally everywhere in the universe; they were one of the most common and fastest reproducing races.

Apart from the common races, they saw even weirder races. Mostly beasts but with a high amount of intelligence, these were already galactic citizens.

The galactic beasts ranged wildly. From fish that mutated to walk on land to parrots that were giving live performance music concerts on the streets, there were all forms of galactic lives and scene in the streets.

They also saw mutated humanoids that were like Sonia, others with blue skin, some with even red skin, this showed the diversity of the universe.

Looking at all these sights was the only reason why it took them so long to arrive at their destination but finally, they were there.

>MERCENARY UNION<

It was written on a massive signpost that floated in the sky.

The building of the mercenary alliance was a massive skyscraper that towered into the skies, most likely 50 stories tall.

Champion Onana's identity and their relationship with the leader of the city made things so much easier. They left the hordes of other mercenaries that were at the lower floors as they directly made their way to floor 44.

There, they met a human with a tiger head who attended to them.

Despite being on a suit, her head still made her look weird.

"Welcome to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union, what can I do for you?" She asked with a smile that only looked like a snarl to them.

"…"

Champion Onana smiled at her. "We want to create a mercenary group".

"Oh! Coming". She said with a smile before bringing a paper out of a slit in the wall that was beside her counter.

"Take, this is the slip, fill the details inside".

Legolas took the slip before looking through it.

[Mercenary Union Registration Slip:]

[Purpose: New Mercenary Group!]

[Name of Mercenary Commander/Grade/Main Class:]

[Name of Mercenary Vice Commanders/Grade: (at least 3)]

[Number of Mercenaries/Grade Division:]

…

(This part is for mercenary officers only!)

[Mercenary Registration Mission Status:]

[Mercenary Registration Number:]

[Mercenary Grade:]

Legolas looked at the tiger head female. "Is writing my main class compulsory? Is that not a breach of personal warrior information?"

She smiled which again only looked like a snarl. "The mercenary union takes the privacy of our mercenaries very seriously. This is just for our database, be rest assured that no one will have access to your information".

Legolas nodded. "I'll take your word to it".

Taking a pen, he filled the first and second parts of the slip.

[Mercenary Vice Commanders/Grade:]

[Vice Commander: Blade- Grade B!]

[Vice Commander: Christensen- Grade B!]

Legolas paused, he looked at Champion Onana. "Are you?"

"Yes". He chuckled. "I'm a Nak Champion but that does not shackle me, it instead gives me even more freedom since I'm not exactly tied to the Nak Navy".

"I can become part of your mercenary group which I already intend to do".

"I still think fate has a lot more adventures in store for the both of us".

Legolas smiled, that did it, he wrote the last Vice Commander.

[Vice Commander: Onana- Grade B!]

"Dad! What of me?" Uranus nagged.

Legolas chuckled and rubbed the Titan's head. "Keep on working harder, the day you become a Grade B Titan and beat any of your uncles in single combat, you will take their position and become the new Vice Commander".

"Really?"

"Yeah, why would I lie to you? You think I'm a lair?"

Uranus became determined. "Then, I'll work even harder!"

The others chuckled.

[Number of Mercenaries:]

[Grade B: 6]

The others looked at him in surprise, Legolas nodded at them. "Yeah, Sonia and Nagana agreed to become part of the mercenary group for the meantime".

"Apparently, they come from another star field which means they have no hopes of returning home anytime soon, they intend on staying with us".

"That's nice, they're powerful companions". Christensen was happy.

After filling the rest parts of the slip, Legolas handed it back to the tiger head lady. She looked through it before looking back at them.

"The registration fee".

Legolas was surprised. "There's a registration fee? How much?"

Since he didn't create a mercenary group himself and instead worked under others in his previous life, he didn't know much about the creation itself.

"50,000 Galactic Credits only". She replied with a wide smile.

"…" Legolas just looked at her.

"I'll pay". Champion Onana volunteered.

One burden was lifted off Legolas as he thanked Onana. Due to just making his way to galactic society, in here, he was totally broken.

The lady smiled at them the next moment after confirming the money and writing on the slip. "Your registration number is 004, it's unique".

"Do not forget it".

She stamped the slip with a logo of the mercenary union, a black hand holding a massive halberd that was striking across space.

She smiled at them again. "Only one last step remains, the registration mission". She stood up and led them to the mission counter. "To prove your capabilities, you have to complete your first mission before being registered".

"There are 3 current missions available".

"Since you said you have Grade B warriors in your midst, you'll get a Grade B mercenary mission. Of the 3, one is a search and rescue mission for the missing daughter of a wealthy Billionaire of the nearby Crimson Tide Planet".

"The 2nd mission is an escort mission for a renowned merchant group".

"The last mission is a bounty hunting mission, the target is a notorious Grade B Shadow Mage that recently arrived in a distant planet, Planet Azure Curtain".

"Master, I will take and complete the mission on your behalf". Blade volunteered as Uranus also showed his interest.

Legolas did not argue. "Ok, then choose the one that you want".

"I choose the bounty mission".

The tiger head lady nodded with a smile, tore the mission paper out before handing it over to Blade.

They finally left.

…

While Blade left with Uranus to a distant planet to complete the mission, Champion Onana and Christensen went to enjoy the attractions of this planet while Legolas returned alone to the home of the old Commander.

Inside the garden, this old man sat on a rocking chair as he watched the stars in the night sky while smoking a pipe.

"You again?"

Legolas laughed. "Your senses are indeed as sharp as a beast".

He snorted. "You don't flatter for nothing, tell me what you want".

"I have a question".

"Another one?"

"Yes".

"Ugh…" He groaned. "I hope it better be worth my time".

"I hope so too". Legolas came closer and sat beside him before looking at his face. "Do you know of any person called Old Man Gu?"

The old Commander's face twitched.
