Elisse and Lylia thought that Arthur was done telling his tale but they noticed that the part where he got his bruise on the back wasn't still mentioned yet.
"And then, after I killed the da... frog. I felt an extreme killing intent behind me and so I ducked and rolled barely avoiding a serpent's tail. But wait there's more! This serpent wasn't just a simple one, this one was a peak Unranked Serpent!"
When Lylia and Elisse heard what Arthur said, they felt their head went numb and stopped functioning. It was Lylia who regained her calm first.
"I'm glad, you managed to escape Art. Fighting a peak Unranked creature while being a level 5 Evolver is already impossible let alone kill it, so it was a good decision to flee."
Arthur tilted his head confused by his mother's words.
"But I did kill it though?" Arthur said as he casually took out the fang of the Unranked Serpent and laid it on top of the table.
"I was hoping that dad could add this to make me a new weap-"
"Impossible! Wha- eh- How!?" Lylia couldn't contain her shock and hit the table. While Elisse had her mouth wide open still not processing what Arthur claimed.
They simply couldn't accept the reality in front of them. A level 5 Evolver killing a peak Unranked creature? Nonsense! If they told other people that Arthur managed to achieve this feat, they would laugh at them and call them crazy.
"I'll explain after you both calmed down."
It took a whole minute before Elisse and Lylia calmed down, but the wild beating of their heart was still there.
Arthur nodded and continued, he told them how he received the bruise on his back and how he took the advantage to formulate a plan in that dire situation.
If the one he fought wasn't arrogant and careless at handling a weaker enemy, Arthur was sure that he would have already died.
"So you won because the opponent was arrogant and got caught defenseless." Elisse concluded.
"Honey, please don't downplay Art's feat. Tell me, if you were at his level would you dare to fight what Arthur had fought?" Lylia reprimanded Elisse, which made the latter shook her head. Her mother was right, if she was in Arthur's shoes she would've already ran away.
"That is all, mom please tell dad that the weapon he gave me got blown to pieces. I need a new one, also please tell him that if possible I want the fang to be added as ingredient when making it. Thank you!" He kissed both of them on the cheek before he went to the bathroom, he needed to wash off and check his Index.
Lylia could only nod and let Arthur take his well deserved rest. She was having a headache on how to tell her husband about Arthur.
. . .
Arthur took his clothes off and headed straight into the bathtub. It was already prepared because this was one of their family routine. Because after one was done washing themselves off, he or she would then prepare the bath for the next person to use. A perfect win-win situation.
He submerged himself and looked at his Index.

"Aren't my stats too high for my current level? And summoner's Domain?" Arthur inquired as he inspected his newly acquired skill.

"Only one effect that is so simple yet so powerful!" Arthur couldn't help but marvel at the effect.
350%! It also didn't specify what, which means that 350% recovery rate for mana, health, stamina and etc.
Now he won't have to worry much about his summons! One of his problems have been solved. If they're badly hurt and didn't died instantly, they would be able to recover in no time!
Next he checked his Hero Summon skill.
[ Hero Summon (EX Tier Skill) Level 5 -

Effect (3) : If a summon is killed while fighting with you, 50% of the summon's stats will transfer to the summoner.
Evolution for this skill is not possible. ]
The more Arthur read the skill's description the more delighted he became. Isn't this skill too overpowered?
The 35% increase in all of his stats when fighting with his summons was already overpowered enough but the Hero Transfer?
Isn't this skill broken? Arthur thought.
The last effect was the only thing that Arthur wasn't happy about. Sure, 50% is huge and will greatly help him advance but at what cost? The life of his summon? No thanks, he wouldn't send them to their deaths just to acquire their stats. He would prefer having them than wish for their stats.
Arthur closed his index and stood up. He cleaned himself and prepared the bath for the next person to use before leaving the bathroom.
"... " He counted to three while covering his little brother before sprinting to his room. He had forgotten the damn towel again!
Arthur's butt didn't escape Elisse and Lylia's eyes. Both of them chuckled at the same time, it wasn't new to them because Arthur often forget to bring a towel when going to the bathroom.
Arthur quickly entered his room and slammed the door.
"Huff... Next time, I'll bring a towel every time with me." He took out some clothes and sat on his bed.
"Lucia, Kent, Eiz, Diz and Nitz." Arthur called and a moment later Lucia and the others appeared in front of him and bowed.
"Is it okay for me to look at your stats?" He asked as he scratched his head.
Index was a person's personal info that contained their core. Arthur felt guilty if he would just suddenly go ahead and look at it without permission.
Yes, they were his summon and he had rights over them but he treated them much more than a summon.
All of them looked at him in a stupefied manner except for Lucia who giggled at Arthur's words.
"Of course you can, master." Lucia chuckled.
"Please." Kent bowed a little.
""It's absolutely fine/okay, master"" Eiz, Diz and Nitz simultaneously said.
Getting their approvals Arthur didn't waste anymore time and went ahead to inspect them.
Kent was a Rare rated summon and he excels in physical combat. His physical stats were only slightly lower than Arthur while his magic and mana stat is below average.
The three were Uncommon rated summon, they are also physical fighters and their stats are not surprisingly the same. Their stats were obviously lower than Kent.
But if you compared one of them to a person with similar level, the one who would have the upper hand would be the former.
If they were summoned after Arthur killed the Unranked Serpent, their stats would obviously be much lower but Arthur's crisis were opportunity to them that is why they have these above the normal stats.
Last but not the least, Lucia.
When Arthur opened her Index, his jaw dropped and he looked at Lucia in shock.

"Holy f*ck..." Arthur cursed.
