The summoner’s path (3)

I quickly cast an umbral bolt to hit it. Once it hit it turned into flames causing the bullheaded monster to cry in fear. The description of the umbral bolt means the Minotaur’s weakness is fire. With this new information, I quickly opened the grimoire and scrolled through the spell list quickly applying filters to search for the right spell before a giant shockwave from the Minotaur struggling to get to me knocked it out of my hands, with it on the floor and the tunnel getting wider there was little time to think with a glance O read one spell name

Umbral flame

‘Using dark magic to make flames by…’

*smash*

Unable to read anymore, I did what came naturally to me. Put my wrists together and gather dark mana by converting the natural mana generated in my body, envisioning a black flame and launching it toward the Minotaur.

Trait-activated: black mage

As the flames hit the narrow entrance it looked as if they climbed the walls towards the exit as it was left undamaged. Building pressure before blowing like a geyser, the Minotaur screamed in what can only be interpreted as pain after a few seconds the noise went away.

Notice

‘Achievement awarded do you want to claim rewards’

Y/N

After seeing the notification I thought it would be an achievement for killing the Minotaur however I doubt I was that lucky, if I did or not why say no to rewards?

Alert

* full recovery

* Title “First of the batch”

Notice

‘You are the first of this batch of wild cards to dual cast(casting different or the same spells with both hands)’

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

After receiving the full recovery I felt for a moment all that was wrong with my body disappeared, it was as if I was in paradise before being dragged back down to reality.

“First of the batch”

‘You have been recognized as a natural at magic as such more gods will have their eyes on you from now on’

Well, having one isn’t bad but having multiple will be… difficult.

“In any case, I can’t stay here forever time to head to scout the area”

Other than the Minotaur and the labyrinth I don’t know much about the area around I need to find the essential food, water, and shelter. This place is good but if it's attacked again it won't last. Picking up the grimoire I head out of the now cave-like entrance being widened by the Minoutar’s attack.

Taking a few moments to observe my surroundings I see the Minotaur's deeply imprinted tracks implying that it was in a hurry as there are no other tracks that deep most are displaced dust while some are shallow prints on stone. Taking this into consideration the only things that he could be rushing towards a water source to put out the fire. For a moment I thought of following the tracks to the water source but I didn't have the confidence I could kill the thing when it came to it. On the other hand, going back to the hellscape I just escaped from with few options I decided to deviate from the Minotaur’s path to avoid him and the hell pit. However, I’m still conflicted on what to do first should I gain the strength to battle or should I try to get food? Water is in the direction of the Minotaur after some deliberation I decided to gather some strength first.

Moving through the maze with only the map as my guide I head toward my first destination

“The Tomb of the Dragon Lord”

Expected reward:

Dragon lord’s corpse

buried treasures

‘The Tomb of the Dragonlord houses the corpse and legacy of a forgotten dragon lord’

I am almost certain they would be buried with something useful. I need strength before I can gather my needs for survival. If the Minotaur is the benchmark then at best I can chase them away at worst I would be dead.

“Either way, I have to get to the tomb…huff huff… jeez this is tiring how did that song go? All you gotta do is walk.”

Hello everyone, The god of chaos is here for some fun Explanations for what? The dragon lord and the current state of the tutorial why? Because you would be lost without me, you simple-minded creatures you.

Chao’s info cards

The Dragonlord

The being itself is a dragon who has transcended past its limits reaching godhood.

Why would a god die?

Often gods die from several things be it a lack of faith from their followers or another god yet there is a way that only the strongest may die from yet you don’t want it.

Why wouldn’t you want a death that only the strongest can achieve?

To keep it simple they would be the last being in the universe before getting recycled into something new.

(I don't know why I wrote this under “Dragon Lord but whatever not writing it down again)

Now that you know what a dragonlord is the update on the tutorial

To keep it brief, although a large number of people were slaughtered in the beginning there are still many people out there battling for survival with both the monsters and each other.

Yet they have discovered a few things such as not all monsters are mindless, many have their civilizations and many are stronger than humans at the moment and they know it. Why tell this?

Because the labyrinth that the fellow you were reading about is labeled by the humans as forbidden. At first, they thought it was safer because the other monsters didn’t follow the reason behind this was the Minotaur as the moment you step into its home he knows where you are at all times which they learned the hard way. Now a human skull hangs around the Minotaur's neck.
