Anton stared at the bandit warrior and mage who were kneeling confronted by the three huge Dire Wolves.

“Lord Archmage, please have mercy. We didn’t know that you were with the carriage.”

“You tried to kill my people and I consider them my family. What would you do if someone tried to kill your family?”

Anton could see that the two men realized that they would not be forgiven for what they had done. The warrior stood up and ran towards him while holding a short sword while the mage stood up as well and began casting a spell.

The two bandits realized that it was their end and Anton guessed that they preferred to die fighting. Anton didn’t let them suffer and killed the two men immediately by casting Frozen Orb and the two men exploded. He then checked the bandits’ lair. Anton guessed that the bandits were successful in their banditry looking at the huge amount of treasure in the lair. He commanded one of the Dire Wolves to lead his father and Lucas to the lair and after several minutes, they arrived.

“Are they dead?” Lucas asked when they met up with Anton and he simply nodded.

Anton could see that Lucas was truly furious because when he saw the two Spirit Wolves died because of the mage’s spell, he knew that there was a good chance that Devon would have died if the summons did not block the spell targeting his son and there was a possibility that Anton would not be fast enough to heal Devon.

Anton then wondered how the bandits got the chance to attack them since his father, Lucas, and Devon were all equipped with wands but he knew that playing the blame game was not conducive to the situation. The bandits were dead and their treasure was there for their claiming.

“It was my fault. Devon wanted to test the power of the dire wolves that came from the golden tablets so that’s why we didn’t immediately use the wands. We thought they were just regular weak bandits. I’ve been a mercenary for a long time and I made such a rookie mistake,” Lucas said and Anton could clearly hear the man blaming himself.

“Enough of that. It’s all in the past. Let’s just return to the carriages,” Anders said after he stored all the treasure in the lair in his storage ring that was in a chain around his neck.

Anton commanded the dire wolves to guide his father and Lucas back to the carriage while he flew ahead of them. He wanted to make sure that the carriages were safe. He should have summoned the Grizzly Bear for everyone’s protection before he left to chase the runaway bandits.

When he arrived back at the two carriages, everyone was safe which made Anton relieved. Devon was alert and the three remaining Spirit Wolves were on guard.

Anton dismissed the wolves and when the ladies noticed that he was back, they all exited the carriage to learn what happened.

“Father and Lucas should arrive any minute now. They’re being guarded and guided by the three Dire Wolves that I summoned.”

“Did you find and kill the bandit mage who tried to kill Devon?” Nemina asked grimly which made Devon look ashamed and Anton figured that Devon was blaming his stupid overconfidence that endangered himself and caused his parents to get furious.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“All the bandits are dead,” Anton said and Nemina looked satisfied.

After a few minutes, Lucas and Anton’s father arrived. Anton didn’t dismiss the Dire Wolves and commanded them to scout the area to make sure there was nothing there that could endanger them and the dire wolves immediately left.

“The bandits were rich. They had an extra-large amount of treasure in their lair,” Anders said.

“At least they will not be able to victimize anyone anymore,” Lunelle angrily said.

Everyone was furious with the bandits since they clearly had the strength but instead of using their strength to earn coins legally, they chose to prey on other humans.

They continued their journey and around two in the afternoon, Anders asked Devon to look for a campsite that they could stay in for the rest of the day.

Devon chose a good campsite but it was near the road and even though it was amongst the trees, it was still visible on the road. Everyone got busy preparing their campsite and they set up an elaborate area that they would use to prepare food. Nemina planned to spend the rest of the day cooking so they would have a lot of cooked food prepared in their spatial items.

Colin and Frederic were commandeered by Nemina to help them after they set up the area that they would use for toilet and bathroom purposes. While Anton’s father, Lucas, and Devon rode their Dire Wolves to roam the forest and each one of them was being followed by one Dire Wolf summon of Anton.

Just to be safe, Anton also summoned the Grizzly Bear. It’s also a good chance for the horses to get used to the bear’s presence. Since Anton didn’t command the Grizzly Bear to do anything, it just lay there like a lump.

Anna curiously approached the bear.

“The bear wouldn’t harm me right?” Anna asked his brother.

“It’s just a summon like your Raven and the wolves,” Anton answered.

“Can you command it to follow me?” Anna requested and Anton who was about to enter his Diablo II system to level up his druid character got irritated.

“Fine but don’t bother me until it’s time for me to set up the projector screen. I’m going to meditate.”

Anton commanded the Grizzly Bear to protect everyone and to follow Anna’s command then he entered and sat on a log. Instead of entering his game system, he first observed what Anna would do.

Anna tentatively approached the bear and when it ignored her, she patted the bear’s fur. After a couple of minutes of being ignored, Anna boldly climbed the bear and the huge summons just allowed her to do anything she liked.

Anton’s sister then commanded the bear to go inside the forest but just nearby while she sat on top of the huge monster. When the bear stood up, Anna laughed, which made everyone look at her. It was understandable since the bear was really huge and her sitting on top of it caused her to see everything in the camp.

While the bear was walking toward the forest, Anna suddenly commanded it to destroy a tree, and with one swipe the Grizzly Bear demolished the tree that she pointed at causing a massive noise. After a couple of minutes, Anders, Lucas, and Devon arrived with a worried look on their faces because of the loud noise.

When the men saw Anna sitting on top of the huge Grizzly Bear in front of a destroyed tree, everyone knew that the noise was Anna’s doing.

Anton overheard his father admonishing Anna and commanding her to get down from the bear and with a pout, she commanded the monster to lie down in the ground so she could climb down easier.

Anders then looked around and when he saw Anton, he told his son to tell the bear to follow his command and Anton complied. To Anton and Anna’s astonishment, Anders climbed the Grizzly Bear and commanded it to run deep into the forest while two Dire Wolves followed him, one from the golden tablet and the other dire wolf was Anton’s summon.

Lucas and Devon laughed but suddenly their laughter was cut off when they saw how fast the Grizzly Bear ran. It was actually as fast as the Dire Wolves and the only difference was there was massive noise while the bear was running. A fast-running huge monster was terrifying to behold.
