Redo! Last Chance for a Dying World!

Chapter 194: Passion

After hearing the young man out, Geth decided to give him a chance. The advance of the party halted.

"Now!"

He yelled toward the front line. Sindri dropped her guard and jumped to the side.

Zolis and Jack sidestepped, allowing multiple wolves to rush through. After counting ten streaks of fur darting by, they mended the broken front line.

Aside from the vanguard, the others were standing back watching the proceedings. Geth cast his eyes toward Peter and found he was already invoking the Taming Cards.

Before the Direwolves had a chance to turn on the front line, chambers of light were already forming around them.

Geth had to admit that he was impressed by the speed. Peter's new Talent increased his chances of success, thus increasing the power and speed at which the cages formed.

The Class that Peter had chosen was called Evoker. It was a Class that primarily focused on quickly raising and boosting the abilities of Tames.

The requirements were enough Strength to control the beasts and enough Wisdom to impose his will upon them without faltering.

It was the perfect Class!

The sight was impressive. Instead of just forming a cage, blinding golden chains rose from the Formations in an attempt to entangle the thrashing beasts.

Three wolves were soon rendered immobile. 

The others managed to dodge or destroy the chains. This caused a slight backlash, forcing Peter's concentration to falter.

The cages weakened. It was only a brief moment, but two of the Direwolves managed to burst out.

Arrows and spells soon tore through the escaped wolves. With twelve people and Tames attacking the two, they barely enjoyed a second of freedom.

Peter regained his composure and poured his Mana into the Formations once again. It was a slightly different process from a typical Taming cast.

In the case of an Evoker, the Formations were powered by the caster instead of the card. This allowed them to be much sturdier but also left room for external influence.

If the Evoker was attacked or became distracted, the Formations could weaken until they were just like any other taming circle.

While Geth was waiting to see the effects of Peter's new abilities, he casually walked around collecting Monster Cores.

This was also the main reason he sealed off the entrance. It was highly likely that the surrounding enemies would forego their initial plans of ambush if they saw the scattered cores.

The cowards would more likely collect them all and make off with the loot. There was no way in hell Geth would allow some riff-raff to take his loot unchallenged!

The taming process didn't take long. Two more Direwolves broke out.

Unsurprisingly, they were dealt with quickly and without remorse. The other six wolves erupted into beautiful particles of light that flowed into the Taming Cards in Peter's possession.

The young man dropped to his knees, his entire person soaked with sweat.

He looked down at the cards in his hands in disbelief. He had actually done it!

The pride swelling up within him even affected the other party members. Everyone shared in his sense of achievement.

'Another effect of an Evoker. It's one of the aspects that makes them such good Summoners.'

Right on queue, Albus' voice ruined the moment. Even if he was a bit perturbed, Geth wanted to know more. 

'Summoners?'

'There are multiple Summoner Classes. The Evoker isn't specialized in taming.

The Evoker Class is more suited to raising Tames and buffing them in battle. Evokers tend to be highly passionate, and this intensity can easily carry over to others in their surrounding.

Tames raised by an Evoker will likely receive more Skills or bonus Attributes than their counterparts. Other Summoners may be more adept at successfully taming creatures or can summon many at once.'

"I see..."

Geth mumbled and looked at their youngest party member. He was quickly reminded of how everyone's fighting spirits were raised when he had moved to the front line.

'Was that effect not part of the Skill?'

He would ask about it later. For now, they needed to keep pressing onward.

It was pertinent that they find a place to set up camp in the coming hours. Even if they were fighting 16v5 battles, they had already been going non-stop for more than 40 hours.

There had never been any pause between setting up the locations for the earlier Direwolf ambushes. They had even been found out when the patrols hadn't returned before the day was over.

It allowed Geth to Tame his Direwolf and a couple more, but they had to hurry to the Dungeon before that convoy didn't return.

After traveling through the night, they had set up the illusion and faced the Weary Wolf without a break.

Since then, they had been fighting in the bottleneck from the time Zolis' weapon turned into an axe and were still going long after it had become a hammer again.

A proper rest was long overdue.

Geth glanced around at his compatriots. Even though they didn't show it, he could tell they were experiencing fatigue.

*Sigh*

'This wouldn't have been a problem before.'

His original plans were to seal the cave and set up camp in the plain. The surrounding enemies put a stop to that plan.

He was confident in killing most and escaping, but he wasn't optimistic about everyone living through the ordeal without their second Class.

Killing a small army of Humans at this stage of the game was different from fighting monsters. There was no telling what strange Skills such a large group had picked up.

Geth helped Peter up and settled everyone back into Formation.

"Blaze. How many more?"

"We should be down to the last 1500."

Geth nodded.

"Alright, everyone, listen up! We only have to kill the front row three hundred more times, and we can set up camp! Get your asses in gear!"

Everyone's backs straightened when they heard that. Zolis even glanced back and shook her hips before looking at Sindri.

"Why don't you come put our asses in gear?"

Geth's palm instantly flew to his forehead.
