Reincarnated With A Summoning System

The entrance to the Demon dungeon here in Munan is down on the ground level, between two massive trees, surrounded by guards. They bow politely when they see the Princess and her group coming, opening the gates to let them through without any hassles or questions.

"We keep it under guard because for some reason, the Demon Dungeons all over the world open in more than one location. They're not all interconnected, but they've often got five or six different exits." Paige explains.

"We thought that was a unique feature of the ones in the Northern Region of the Central Continent. It's interesting that it happened here too, I wonder if it's a result of the way Demon Magic interacted with the Dungeon spell, or a previous attempt to escape the time loop?"

"Nobody really knows, except maybe the Demon King, but he's not likely to tell anyone. But this one is level 270 near the entrance, which is a good bit higher than I am, so my Summons will struggle a bit. I hear from the rumors that yours are stronger though, so we should be fine." Mary shrugs.

"You'll see once we get inside, just try not to freak out. I'll call out the everything and we can test how fast we can level up inside a massive dungeon that won't be easily cleared."

They step inside the Dungeon and find themselves inside a Forest, standing next to a black stone pyramid with steps up the two visible sides. It doesn't come to a peak, instead there's a temple built at the top, and roads run off into the jungle from the base of the stairs.

Scattered through the trees is a lively looking society, houses, businesses and everything, only the demons aren't living normal lives, they're just wandering around or standing in groups, driven insane by the Dungeon spell.

The Wrath Demons closest to the entrance notice they have visitors and charge just as Cain starts calling his summons. Lamia Scourge Casters and Wrath Bringers to start, that quickly engage the first group. Their strength impresses Paige, but Mary is more interested in Cyrene.

"When you said you had a Demonic summoned Companion, did you mean Cyrene? She looks so real though."

"Cyrene isn't a summon. I made her into a Lamia to break a curse of blindness from the Oracle class. My Demonic Companion is named Vala, a Legendary Wrath Demon. As you learn more Summoning forms, your Companions will rank up in quality, though once you get further along into the Lord tree you'll be able to make them all Epic, no matter how few forms you know for their category."

With the first group taken care of, Cain calls all the copies of Kone, then they call all their summons, filling the area around the Pyramid Temple with Summons.

"Alright, everyone fan out. Travel in pairs of Supporters for additional strength. Go, have fun and I'll see you later." Cain instructs, sending hundreds of Dragons and Drakes flying off into the jungle.

"That's crazy. Let's see, new forms, oh there she is. A Beast Lord named Kone." Mary calls her and gets Kone plus one copy of Su, but no additional Drakes.

"Did I do something wrong? You get so many?"

"It's my skills. Cloning for the second Companion, then Appointed Companion that made Kone herself my companion and let them summon all those extra Drakes. She will still have a lot of Epic Quality Turtles, even without all the extra buffs that I get."

Mary instructs her Supporters to call the same Snapping Turtle Kin tanks and smiles at the assembled force before sending them all out in one group to start clearing the forests around the main encampment at this entrance to the Demon Dungeon. That leaves the comparatively few summons that Cain and Mary have from their base skills waiting around, but Cain still has to summon his top two tiers of defenders.

"The Lord tree gives you a pair of summons that start as a base Epic Summon." Cain explains, calling for the Oath Breakers to join the assembled forces.

"And then, having every single Puppet Master Skill lets you call on a single Legendary Summon. Carnage, why don't you come out and play?" Cain calls Carnage, then transforms himself into a Demon Progenitor to triple all the demons he has called.

He can hear the Echoes laughing in his mind, they're still in Niman Territory, harassing villages and small towns, and suddenly the number of demons in their ongoing contest tripled. The town they're attacking is utterly terrified, and they're about to crush it into gooey rock dust. Just a little added bonus to Cain for actually doing a dungeon for once.

"The Form that triples all the Demonic Summons numbers is an Exclusive Skill from a random roll. As you can see, it's a lot of fun. Demons let's go play with your crazy Kinfolk."

The Demons rush out into the village, the gigantic axes of the Demons known as Carnage sweeping wide paths through the defenders, killing weaker packs of Demons in a single strike.

"To the North, you will find something big. There's a Legendary Demon there on par with Carnage, but a different kind of Demon." Cyrene declares, pointing in the desired direction.

"You heard the lady, clean up here and we're going boss hunting." Paige cheers, too far away to help with the battle in any meaningful way, but enjoying the show.

There is a minor problem though, Cain doesn't have any healers summoned and handy, so he has to call back one pair of Kone Clones to take over the duty that Vala's area heals usually do. That's bound to slow down their clear rate a little bit, but the Drakes and Turtles can fight just as well where he is as they could in the woods.

"I didn't really get to see what was going on last time. But this is crazy." Cyrene breathes, watching the lopsided massacre as Carnage and the newly arrived Drakes rampage through the demon village.

"How large is your Experience bonus area of effect? The amount of incoming experience is crazy." Mary asks, and Cain actually checks the description for the first time in a long time.

"With the bonus to the skill for being a Lord Commander, it's 50 meters per level, so over ten Kilometers now. None of the summons are that far out yet, and I'll instruct them to try to keep in range, since we've got such a great modifier going today."

"You could shift forms and call out the Heavenly Host, Legendary Summons that Summon is just broken, especially when tripled." Misha suggests.

"But they'd be tripping all over each other in the forest, most of what they summon are ground troops, and that works much better on an open field." Cain points out with a smile for the memory of the last time he saw that in action.

"Have I ever mentioned that I'm glad you're on my side?" Cyrene teases them, climbing up Cain to get a better view just as they hear a roar from the far east side of the Village. That must be the Boss Monster that Cyrene predicted.
