Chapter 96: Summoning A Battalion

The warm glow of morning light filled the room, and as the trio shared a moment of quiet intimacy over breakfast, Adrian's mind was already contemplating the rewards for his recent success. He glanced at the system interface, a reminder of the mission involving Eve.

"System," he called out mentally, "What about the reward for completing the mission of seducing Eve?"

The system responded with its usual efficiency.

"Host, your mission was completed light night. You received 20,000 SP, a Luck Potion, and one lottery spin in the Skill section. The system already notified you about it during your… vigorous activities."

Adrian raised an eyebrow, leaning back slightly as he recalled the events of the night before. "Wait, it notified me? I must have been so busy with Eve and Sophia that I didn't even notice," he muttered to himself with a smirk.

"Busy? That's an understatement," the system replied with a tone dripping in sarcasm. "You were like a beast. I doubt anyone your mind had anything but sex during your frenzy. What a beast I have as a host."

Adrian chuckled, shaking his head at the system's tone. "Alright, alright, point taken. Claim the rewards now."

The system complied, and the familiar chime echoed in his mind as the SP, Luck Potion, and lottery spin were added to his inventory. Adrian felt a surge of energy from the Luck Potion as he stored it for later use.

Feeling playful, he decided to ask another question. "Hey, system, have I unlocked the army summoning ability now that I reached my first class? I remember reading about it when I chose the Draconian Spellblade."

"Yes, Host, the army summoning feature has been unlocked. You now have the ability to summon a draconic battalion, which scales with your power level."

Adrian's eyes gleamed with interest. "Great. And can you make it look as if I summoned them?"

"Of course. The system can project a grand and intimidating summoning visual effect. It will look as if you've called forth an entire army from thin air," the system confirmed confidently.

Adrian's eyes gleamed with interest as the system confirmed his new ability to summon a draconic battalion. But his excitement quickly turned to suspicion, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Let me guess—it's going to cost me SP to add that flashy summoning effect, right?"

"Precisely, Host. Your brain has leveled up from ant-sized to grasshopper-sized," the system replied with a hint of mockery.

Adrian smirked, his sarcasm quick to follow. "And you? You've grown too. From a small-time money-grubber to... what? A SP-hoarding dragon? At least you've got consistency."

The system remained unfazed, its tone cool as ever. "Touché, Host. Shall we get back to business?"

Adrian chuckled but decided to focus. The army summoning feature was important, and he'd need it soon. So he turned to his personal maid.

"Christine!" he called out.

Moments later, Christine entered, her usual warm smile in place. "Big brother, what do you need?"

"I need you to send a message to everyone—Sophia, Isabella, and Eve. Tell them to meet me in the training ground. I'll be summoning the draconic troops."

Christine nodded, her expression serious as she absorbed the instructions. "Of course, big brother. Right away." With that, she hurried off to deliver the message.

Watching her leave, Adrian sighed, thinking about how much smoother things would be if he had some sort of magical communication system.

"I really need a better way to communicate with everyone," he muttered to himself. "But for now, the focus is on the army and the war with Mortimer."

He pulled up the system interface again, brushing aside his thoughts about communication tools.

"Alright, system. Let's get this army ready. Purchase the draconic battalion for 50,000 SP and 5000 SP for summoning effects as well."

A sense of anticipation coursed through him as he awaited the system's response, knowing this next step would bring him closer to being ready for the confrontation with Mortimer.

Adrian's heart raced with anticipation as he finalized the purchase. The system hummed in his mind, processing the request for the draconic battalion.

While waiting for Christine to gather the others, he stood and stretched, the tension of his earlier excitement ebbing away.

The thought of summoning an army was thrilling, and he was ready to train them to obliterate Baron Mortimer.

The system chimed, cutting through his thoughts.

"Host, the draconic battalion is now ready. They will be summoned upon your command. For your current class and level, all summoned units will begin at Level 20—exactly twice your current level."

Adrian grinned, pleased by the system's efficiency. "Level 20, huh? That's better than I expected. Let’s see if they’re as intimidating as they sound."

The door creaked open, and Christine reappeared, followed by Sophia, Isabella, and Eve. They all looked curious, sensing that something big was about to happen.

Sophia, ever observant, was the first to speak. "Adrian, what’s all this about? You seem excited."

Adrian motioned for them to sit. "Didn't I tell you guys before I can summon my personal army. You’re about to witness their summoning."

Isabella leaned forward, a glint of pride in her eyes. "If it's your army, my son, I’m sure it’ll be powerful."

Christine stood beside him, ever loyal. "Wow Big Brother you are going to summon army,how cool! Is it okay for me to be here?"

Adrian smiled at her, and patted her head," Of course you can be here, you're now part of our family."

He then turned his focus to the others. "You’re all about to see something… special. Stay back and observe. I want to test this."

He took a deep breath, and the system’s voice rang in his head. "Ready, Host? The visual effects will be grand and intimidating, just like you asked."

Adrian’s smirk deepened. "Do it."

The ground darkened slightly, the warm glow of the morning light fading as an ethereal mist began swirling around him.

His heart pounded in his chest as the air thickened with power. A soft rumble, like the growl of a distant storm, filled the ground.

Suddenly, the ground beneath him cracked with a dull thud. Shadows surged from the cracks, and the mist coalesced into spectral forms.

Before their eyes, warriors clad in dark, draconic armor emerged from the shadows—each with glowing eyes that burned like embers. Their helmets bore the unmistakable crest of a dragon, and their weapons gleamed with deadly intent.

The battalion lined up in perfect formation, their movements precise and synchronized, as though they had trained for centuries.

Each warrior exuded an aura of pure strength and loyalty, standing at attention, awaiting Adrian’s command.

"Level 20," the system whispered in his mind. "Twice your current level, as promised."

The women watched, awe-struck by the spectacle. Eve’s usual cool demeanor faltered as she took in the sheer power before her. "Adrian, this… is incredible."

Sophia’s eyes widened as she observed the draconic warriors with fascination. "They’re so… disciplined."

Isabella smiled warmly, clearly impressed. "You’ve outdone yourself, my son. This army will serve you well."

Christine, standing closer to him, looked up at him with admiration. "Big brother, they look amazing. I wish I had magic like big brother."
