These Familiars Are Strange

With the speed of the Fanged Wolves, it wasn't a problem for us to dodge these rocks that were thrown down at us.

But the holes that were created in the ground where we had been before showed just how strong this Kong Gorilla was.

It hadn't held back at all when tossing these stones.

It was clear that this Kong Gorilla wanted us dead.

The real problem wasn't the fact that the Kong Gorilla had noticed us, the real problem was that the other Power Gorillas also noticed us because of the sound that the rocks made when they slammed into the ground. 

As a result, it didn't take long before they all came at us as if they wanted to surround us.

I deeply knitted my brows after seeing this, but then I said, "You can take care of the Kong Gorilla on your own, right?"

Iris was surprised to hear me ask this question, but she quickly gave a nod.

As soon as I saw this, I said, "Then you take care of it, I'll take care of these Power Gorillas."

Iris was once again caught off guard, but she gave another quick nod before summoning out her familiar. 

Her familiar was a hawk that seemed to have electricity running through its feathers.

After summoning this familiar, she also pulled out a sword that didn't seem that big. It seemed like it was made to perfectly fit her height and her size, it seemed like a weapon that was made just for her.

Once she pulled out this weapon, there was a streak of lightning that came from the hawk that was flying above her that seemed to flow through the sword. It was as if the lightning from the hawk was powering the sword with the way that it flowed through the sword.

It was clear that Iris and her familiar weren't weak.

It was hard to imagine just who was behind her with the power that she demonstrated.

Since the Fanged Wolf under her had already been bound to her command, she was able to get it to run around the Kong Gorilla.

The Kong Gorilla had already jumped down to the ground and had picked up rocks to throw at Iris. It was just that with the speed of the Fanged Wolf that she was on, she was able to avoid all of the rocks that were thrown at her.

It seemed like she was a natural with the way that she dodged all of these rocks.

It was hard to imagine that someone like her had been caught by Xiang Yu and the others, but I didn't think too much about it. I had only taken care of Xiang Yu's group because I had caught them by surprise.

If I had to fight them…

Instead of thinking about that, I turned my attention to the Power Gorillas that were approaching.

They grouped up and came at me at the same time, creating what seemed to be a wave of gorillas charging.

This certainly would have been a terrifying scene for anyone else, but I didn't feel any fear facing them. That was because I knew that it would take a single command from me to take down all of these Power Gorillas.

It would only take a single command to make them all freeze, so there was no danger facing them.

But instead of using the power of the Echo Bat like this, I chose to use the power of the Echo Bat in a different way.

"Scatter."

As soon as I gave this order, the Fanged Wolves that were being controlled suddenly split off from the pack. They all headed off in different directions, but they were heading towards the Power Gorilla.

Even though they split off like this, the Power Gorillas didn't seem to react as they continued charging forward.

It seemed like they just wanted to get to the Kong Gorilla to help it, they didn't seem to care about any other distractions.

It seemed that the Kong Gorilla was the linchpin of this group and they couldn't do anything without it.

So they were trying to group up with it before they attacked us.

Still, this just made it easier for me.

While the Power Gorillas were charging forward, I suddenly gave an order.

"Trim the fat."

With that, the Fanged Wolves started picking off Power Gorillas that were at the edges of their group. Even though they were in a large group, that didn't mean that everyone was as safe as the ones in the middle.

The ones that were at the edges were vulnerable to attacks since they were more isolated.

The Fanged Wolves were predators that hunted down different animals, so they had experience picking off these weak links of a pack.

It wasn't that the Power Gorillas were weaker since they were E Rank Monster just like the Fanged Wolves. It was just that since they were in a large group, the momentum of the group didn't allow the Power Gorillas being picked off to fight as they normally would.

They were being carried by the momentum of the pack and couldn't fight properly.

That was why the Fanged Wolves were able to easily pick off several of the Power Gorillas.

Sensing the disturbance at the edges of their pack, the Power Gorillas slowed down their pace and seemed like they wanted to attack the Fanged Wolves.

The moment that they did, the Fanged Wolves disappeared and ran off in the opposite direction of the Kong Gorilla.

The Power Gorillas didn't seem to know what to do when this happened, so they turned back to run to the Kong Gorilla again.

Only the moment that they did, the Fanged Wolves started picking them off again.

It seemed that as long as their attention wasn't on them, the Fanged Wolves would attack them once more.

The Power Gorillas had to keep turning around to defend against the Fanged Wolves, but that didn't matter as more and more of them were being picked off.

"Such amazing control." Iris said as she sneaked a peek back to see what Lin Fan was doing.

She had already seen his amazing ability to control monsters, but to this extent was unexpected.

This really was at a level that she had never heard of before…

"I should tell my mom and dad about this. It would be a waste to let someone like this go unnoticed…"

Then after a moment of silence, she added, "Plus, he saved me…so I should repay him. Only what do I repay him with?..."
