Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Soon, Lin Chen noticed that this area was unusually quiet, except for a few scattered tall, ancient trees.

It was a completely dark swamp shrouded in mist, devoid of any living creatures, not even a single demon that once again rushed out of the swamp to launch a sneak attack. It was practically a dead zone.

As they continued forward, the deeper they went, the larger the swamp became, and the narrower the path became. In some places, it was simply a vast swamp, forcing Garurumon to take a long detour before it could continue its journey.

An hour later, when Lin Chen saw the swamp and puddles divided into different areas again, he knew that he had finally left the swampy area. However, Lin Chen was not happy. Instead, he became more vigilant. He knew that as he walked out of the swamp, he would also encounter the demons living in the dark dimension.

A little over ten minutes later, as Lin Chen, this uninvited guest, stumbled into a small puddle, a creature over ten meters long, with only a snow-white skeleton remaining, devoid of any flesh, resembling a crocodile, rushed out of the swamp. Judging from the aura it emitted, this was clearly a powerful undead creature at the level of a Great General.

This crocodile-bone beast, where its skull should have been for eyes, now had two eerie green flames flickering around it, staring fiercely at the Garurumon in front of it. Its throat, which was clearly leaking air from all sides, let out a loud roar, as if it were threatening Garurumon.

"Although Garurumon isn't a dog and doesn't eat bones, how can you, a skeleton, scare Garurumon? Doesn't it have any dignity?" Lin Chen looked at the scene before him and, who had been slightly nervous, suddenly found it amusing.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's sarcastic remark, Garurumon instantly felt its wolf-like face was completely ruined.

A skeleton, and a skeleton with the strength of a great general at that, even if this is the dark dimension, is not a reason for you to swagger in front of me.

"Aww~~"

Garurumon opened its massive jaws, filled with fangs, and unleashed a wolf-like roar at the crocodile skeleton in front of it.

Amidst the enormous roar, the crocodile skull only caused the two fist-sized will-o'-the-wisps within its skull to tremble slightly, without making any further reaction.

"Garurumon, you're so stupid! This is a skeleton. Your intimidation as a living being won't work on it. It fears attacks from the soul or physical damage. You should go up and break its bones instead of trying to scare it away," BlackGatomon said with a grin, perched on Garurumon.

Garurumon grinned, revealing an embarrassed smile, and charged towards Crocodile Skull, pushing aside its own body.

The crocodile skeleton looked at the Garurumon, which was much smaller than itself, and saw that it not only spat at it but also dared to attack it. Two eerie green flames burned fiercely as it charged toward Garurumon.

Garurumon leaped up, its long body arcing through the air, and landed directly above Crocodile Skull.

Lin Chen originally thought that Garurumon would deliver a fatal blow to Crocodile, but to his surprise, Garurumon did not make any seemingly aggressive moves towards Crocodile Skeleton. With a lithe figure, it lightly touched Crocodile Skeleton's body, and then its entire body rose up again, directly passing over Crocodile Skeleton and moving forward.

Seeing this, Lin Chen and BlackGatomon, who were on Garurumon, were puzzled and turned around to look behind them.

In their eyes, the once intact crocodile skeleton suddenly turned into a pile of broken bones after Garurumon left, along with the two eerie green flames inside the skull.

"......"

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment. It seemed that Garurumon had been with him for a long time and had also mastered the art of pretending to be an IB.

"Click-clack~~"

Continuing forward, from behind a large tree not far ahead, came the sound of bones moving. A snow-white wolf skeleton, exuding the aura of a mid-level warrior, strode nimbly toward Garurumon.

The moment the wolf skeleton saw Garurumon, the two will-o'-the-wisps in the hollow hole in its skull flickered. Although the wolf skeleton showed no expression, Lin Chen, Garurumon, and BlackGatomon all sensed that the wolf skeleton was very curious about Garurumon.

As if it felt that it was meant to be Garurumon, the Wolfmon skeleton did not follow its instincts to attack Garurumon. Instead, it circled Garurumon a few times and then extended its snow-white skeletal forelimbs to Garurumon in a friendly manner.

Lin Chen could imagine that if this wolf skeleton had flesh and blood, it would probably be like a husky right now.

With its tongue sticking out, it had a憨厚可可爱 (simple and honest) look.

Sensing the wolf skeleton's kindness, Garurumon stretched out its forelimbs and placed them on the bones of the wolf skeleton, looking like two good buddies.

After a brief and friendly exchange, Garurumon bid farewell to SkeletonWolf, as it was not a being of this world and needed to find its way back to the Magic Capital.

"Crunch crunch~~"

Not long after saying goodbye to the skeleton wolf, danger was rapidly approaching. Three large, white skeletons resembling lizards rushed out of the swamp, opened their massive bone mouths, and fiercely lunged at Garurumon.

Just as Garurumon was about to make its move, the skeleton wolf suddenly darted out from behind a large tree. Just as the lizard skeleton was about to bite Garurumon, it crashed into the lizard skeleton, knocking it back two or three meters and blocking Garurumon behind it.

"Garurumon, it seems to be protecting you," Lin Chen reminded him. "Be careful, this wolf skeleton is only a mid-level general, while the three giant lizards opposite are high-level generals."

Seeing the wolf skeleton that had knocked them flying, the three lizard skeletons immediately changed their target.

Their attacks on Garurumon are merely an instinctual aversion to living creatures, while the Wolf Beast skeleton provides them with strength, making it far more attractive to them.

Seeing the three lizard skeletons charging towards him, the wolf skeleton realized that he was no match for them and did not want his new good brother to get hurt, so he immediately ran away from Garurumon.

Furthermore, to prevent the lizard skeletons from falling behind and having to turn back to deal with Garurumon, the wolf skeleton would stop in place every so often and wait for the three lizard skeletons to catch up quickly.

However, the wolf skeleton overlooked one problem: this was a swampy area, where there were obviously more lizard skeletons.

Before long, because of the wolf skeleton's excessive arrogance, it was surrounded by six lizard skeletons.

Just as the wolf skeleton was about to give up and thought it might not survive the day, it saw its new buddy running rapidly toward it.

Seeing this, the wolf-beast skeleton put on a fierce expression, preparing to fight alongside Garurumon.

But what was happening before its eyes caused the two eerie green flames in its skull to flicker suddenly, as its skeletal mouth gaped open.

In its line of sight, Garurumon easily broke the deadly situation that had brought the wolf skeleton to its knees, one lizard skeleton with each claw.

The wolf skeleton excitedly ran to Garurumon and jumped around it. Lin Chen felt that the creature in front of him wasn't a wolf, but a husky.

After some communication, the wolf skeleton, with Garurumon's permission, came to the six lizard skeletons and absorbed all their soul embers.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Chen and Garurumon, the two flames in the skull of the skeleton wolf beast became even more intense, its skeleton became even whiter, and its size increased considerably. Its strength successfully reached the level of a Great War General.

After this battle, Lin Chen's team gained another local wolf, and they continued their exploration in the Dark Dimension.
