Zai is too obsessed with becoming stronger.
It is precisely because of this that the devil has an opportunity to take advantage.
As a half-green with not very good talents, in order to become stronger, he had to find another way, he chose summoning.
A profession that relies on summoning unknown creatures and using external forces to gain respect.
There are many kinds of summoners, who can often rely on energy or sacrifices to summon creatures from other worlds. There are also many kinds of contracts, similar to master-servant or public contracts.
Little guys like Zai's age can already summon skeleton warriors or ordinary ferocious beasts when they summon for the first time.
But God seemed to have played a little joke on Zai, and misfortune became the butler floating above him. Under the guidance of his teacher, Zai tried to summon for the first time, but the creature he summoned was an extremely weak slime.
Slime is a jelly-like or semi-liquid monster with an opaque or translucent body that can change shape and split or merge.
In this dangerous alien world, slimes are undoubtedly useless and weak creatures like cockroaches.
Although slimes have the possibility of evolution, compared with ordinary creatures, this kind of evolution is too illusory.
The specific situation is like a tone-deaf guy challenging a singer. The outcome has been predicted before the competition even begins.
Zai looked at the slime in front of him that he had summoned with his eyes dull. Although the shaman next to him admired Zai's persistence, he could only shake his head and choose to leave after seeing this scene.
My father was standing right beside me, and even though he was trying to control himself extremely well, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
As the patriarch of the greenskin clan, his future heir is a complete waste, which is a shame for the family.
What’s even more terrifying is that a patriarch without an heir will lose a certain amount of control.
Everyone left, only Zai was standing there in a daze, looking at the cheerful slime in despair. As a creature from another world, it was so curious about everything.
The noisy sound made Zai's eyes slowly turn red. He looked at the slime in front of him and slowly raised his huge fist. Although he was not a strong warrior, as a member of the greenskin legion, he was born with a physique that was several times stronger than humans.
There was a loud bang.
The disaster brutally blasted the slime into pieces.
Killing the summoned beast personally also brought some backlash to Zai. He lay on the ground wailing in pain, his body covered in green plasma.
All the previous anger was completely vented at this moment.
But unlike a spring that irrigates food, this is more like a flood full of destructive meaning, destroying everything in sight in its terrifying rage.
Slime is dead.
But this did not stop Zai from continuing to summon. The disappointment of his father and the shaman were like two sharp blades piercing into his body. He half-knelt on the ground, gambled everything, and recited the summoning words again.
But the previous summoning had consumed all the sacrifices, and the only thing that Zai could sacrifice was the slime and... himself!
That’s right!
As a sacrifice in the summoning ceremony, the slime is too weak, and Zai must sacrifice half of his own life before he can finally summon the terrifying existence in the hidden world.
At the moment of summoning, the slime's body was swallowed up by an evil force, but this was just a drop in the bucket compared to the summoning.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful suction force directly attached to Zai's body. He could intuitively feel that his vitality was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
In the face of fear, thoughts returned to the brain, and Zai tried to stop all this from happening. Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. When everything was summoned, it had already fallen into an uncontrollable disaster.
The jet-black hair turned gray, the delicate skin became wrinkled, and even the relatively strong physique instantly became like a dead tree, weak to an extreme.
Zai tried to call for help, but after opening his mouth, the sound that came out was no longer a strong sound, but an old voice like an old woman or a crow.
Zai's vision became cloudy. In just a moment, he turned from a young man into a shaky and dying man who was about to enter a tomb.
Zai no longer had any expectations. Just when he was ready to die, a strange voice appeared at the edge of his ear.
It was a voice that was hard to describe, full of temptation and ridicule.
It seemed that every note was like a pale, corpse-spotted arm trying to grab Zai's body and pull it into endless chaos.
"Let me see, you ridiculous little fellow. Didn't your parents tell you that there is a tiny chance that you might summon an unpredictable existence? If I hadn't let you off the hook, you would have turned into a pile of white powder by now."
Two scarlet eyes appeared in Zai's cloudy eyes. The other party looked down at Zai as if he was looking at an ant, and continued: "Tell me, stupid guy, what is the purpose of doing this? Of course, your time is limited. You'd better be able to explain all this within one minute, because you only have one minute left in your life. No, now you only have 55 seconds."
The sound of fooling around resounded around, and Zai realized that he had summoned an extraordinary guy. Although Zai's strength was low, just like a beast that could predict disasters, as a member of the greenskin legion, he was born with the ability to perceive.
In his not-so-long life journey, the most powerful being Zai encountered was his father. It was precisely because of his father's strength that he was able to defend the safety of his people and ensure normal hunting.
But even when comparing such a powerful father with the existence in front of him, the only word Zai could think of was "insignificant".
It's like a low shrub compared to the towering trees in the forest. It's a kind of existence that you need to look up to.
Zai knew that the other party was not playing tricks on him. Just as the terrifying summoned creature described, it had less than a minute left to live.
Zai could feel his hair falling out one by one and his teeth decaying. He summoned a warrior who was countless times stronger than the slime as he wished, but the price he paid was his own life.
At this moment of life and death, Zai's fear was actually weakened a lot. He raised his head with all his strength, and at the last moment of his life, he expressed his long-cherished wish.
"I want to be strong... even if it means... sacrificing my life!"
