— Boom!
The stone exploded.
Scattering throughout the entire cave, it's debris bouncing on the wall and ground.
As soon as the laser escaped from Arthur's body, the energy around her disburse, settling down like a once roaring fire.
Meanwhile...
Alaric was standing at the back, observing the whole scene with his Civil planner skill.
'Amazing, right before she fired the shot, the energy was large enough to have done a lot more damage. But it seems like she was able to control it to only hit the rock. Perfect. Just what I needed. She can easily do the same for the boulders.'
He walked forward, rubbing his hand on Arthur's fur.
"Good girl, you did well. As your reward, how about I give you a new name?" He asked.
When he summoned Arthur, she came with the name and hence Alaric assumed his summon was a male.
Seeing that she wasn't, he felt it was only right to give her a name fitting of her gender.
And from the way Arthur was wagging her tail, it showed she was all for it.
Hmm...
He hummed for a while, trying to think of a good name to give the wolf.
"How about Aurora? Yeah, that sounds like a good name, don't you think? Aurora..."
Aurora liked her new name.
[Your summons feels happy because you blessed her with a new name.]
[You have gained +789 Claiming points.]
The system notification should have ended there... But it didn't...
[Congratulations on completing the naming ritual for your summons.]
[Aurora can now continue into her evolution..]
[Guard wolf ~~~ Elder Wolf.]
"Oh? Oh... OH??!"
Alaric was shocked.
Before his very eyes, Aurora was going through her evolution.
A bright light shone around her body, coupled with a massive amount of mana.
It was so much, Alaric had to push himself back, using his arm to protect his face.
After a good amount of surging and swirling; Aurora completed her evolution.
She stepped out of the light. Completely in a new human form. She had long white hair and ears, dressed in a traditional wear that had her back completely exposed and her dress cupped to hold her massive tits.
Her siren blue eyes were seductive and glowing, accompanied by the collar around her neck, adorned with her name, and a blue winged tattoo on her back.
Her beauty was nothing anyone could so easily ignore.
"Wooo, Master can you see this? I look beautiful. No, pretty." Aurora spoke with a smile as she kept scanning her whole body with her eyes.
"Woo indeed. What am I looking at here?"
"Hmph! What do you mean by that? Is the young master not satisfied with my new form?" She pouted.
"Oh no, quite the opposite infact. I'm shocked a wolf can loop beautiful. Feels like something straight out of a manga." Alaric spoke, his hand under his jaw.
"Manga? I don't think I've heard of that before."
"I'm not surprised, you're barely an hour old. In any case— how can I introduce you to Ava without her thinking I went to kidnap a jade beauty?"
Aurora kept spinning around, checking herself out like a kid who was just offered a new toy.
"Meh! I'll worry about that later. For now, let's join them back at the mining ground." Alaric spoke, stretching his hand towards Aurora.
Just as expected... She grabbed it.
....
In less than a few minutes, Alaric and his summon had arrived at the mining ground— he made sure he went with her while she was in her human form.
The shocked expression on everyone's face was more than obvious.
Ava being the only one with a disappointed stare.
"Young master, they looked terrified. I thought you said my human form was beautiful." Aurora whispered in her master's ear, a look of worry hitched on her face.
"Eh, trust me, they aren't looking like this because of you."
That was Alaric's response, before he pointed at one of the workers.
"You there... Were you able to count how many closed paths we have inside this mining ground?!"
"Y-yes! 6 my lord!" The worker responsed, trying to shift out the thoughts that his lord may have kidnapped an innocent woman.
'Six. More than I expected. This should be a jackpot.'
Alaric pointed at the next person, "Ask the construction team if they are done digging the holes I requested."
"Right away, my lord!"
The worker immediately went to do his duty.
"The rest of you get ready, grab your tools and get ready to work like never before!!!"
"Yeahhhh!"
They chanted. Though surprised, they still managed to have a somewhat determined expression on their faces.
One by one that began to spread out around the mining cave, taking each part and continuing their work.
Alaric turned to Aurora, but just before he could say anything...
"I'm sorry if my lord caused any problems. Here take this, it's not much but I hope it would be able to cover whatever mischief my master drew you into. Please tell me where you were abducted from, so I can send the knights to take care of your journey back."
Said Ava, standing in front of Aurora with a sack of money stretched forward.
Aurora was confused, looking at the money and back after her master who Ava had dragged behind her.
Ava gasped a bit.
"It worse than I thought. Did he traumatized you so much that you can barely tell what's happening?" She said with a sympathetic expression.
Then she looked at Alaric— "What did you do to the poor girl?".
Alaric raised his hand up a bit, and —
—Tak!
He smacked Ava on the head.
"Will you stop overreacting? That's my summon Arthur, although she goes by the name Aurora now."
Ava looked back at Aurora.
"Arthur?"
"Hello." Aurora waved with a smile.
"... How? She's human..."
"Long story, definitely not something we can discuss now. For now, we have a lot of work to do, and I need you to supervise the most part... Can I trust you to handle it?"
Alaric uttered as he kept tying pull off his shirt.
"That's not a problem...but..."
"Good." Alaric picked a axe, "Let's get to work then."
