One Black Dragon was summoned by Zhu, which was capable of shattering even the barrier of Derek. That was enough to show how strong it was. And at the moment, there were tens of those Dragons that could be seen flying in the sky. 

"One dragon was summoned by that guy. And there are tens of them in this world? Could it be that we are actually in the world of Summons?" Salazar asked grimly. 

"If that's the case, even if you learn to be a Summoner, you can't summon anyone since we're already inside this world. How will we leave then?" 

Lucifer glanced back at Salazar. "You shouldn't worry so fast. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But first, we need to find out more about this world and learn the art of summoning."

Even though he acted calm, even he was slightly concerned. Was there even a way back? If he was actually in the world of Summons, the Summoning Circles weren't going to work. He couldn't leave this place. 

He rubbed his chin as he started walking, lost in thought. 

Jenilia and Salazar followed behind him. 

After walking without aim for over ten minutes, Lucifer finally stopped. "I think we might have a way."

"What way?" Salazar asked. 

"Even if we can't use Summoning Circles, we can still use them. If a summoner from our world uses a summoning circle, that circle will appear around a beast here. We can use that circle to go back."

"Will it work?"

"It's worth trying. Better than giving up."

"Sigh, even if it can work, that still looks like a tall mountain to climb. That Dragon was a strong beast. And we just saw tens of those. Just think how many weaker beasts should be here. For this plan to work, we need to be near the beast that's about to be summoned."

"Even if there are a hundred thousand beasts spread throughout this place, then finding that one beast at the right time should be hard. If only we could see the future," Salazar muttered, sighing. 

Lucifer didn't answer directly. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but it was one of the options. It was too soon to make any plans about how they could achieve it. At least they had a goal now.

The three of them were standing in a plane arena which was surrounded by a forest from all sides. The red trees and their green leaves gave this entire place a creepy look. 

The ground, which was covered in a light red shade of grass, also supported the bodies that were spread throughout. The bodies had stopped falling from the sky a long time ago. 

Lucifer looked all around him, seemingly disappointed. "The beasts that I had stolen didn't come. And I also feel that they are dead now. The insect I left inside them was also destroyed."

"So they didn't appear in this world?" Salazar asked. 

"I believe they did. But that's the thing. Since they were the Summoned Beasts, the summoning circle probably worked differently for them. I'm not concerned about that. What I'm concerned about is who killed them?" Lucifer muttered.

"Whoever or whatever killed them made sure to kill the parasites too as if it knew what was inside them," he added. 

"It must be another beast who can see through the skin? Maybe the beast saw what was inside them and killed the parasites?"

"Probably? But I don't know why; I have a feeling that it wasn't that simple," Lucifer answered as he started flying up. He used his winds to help the others fly up as well. 

"Shouldn't we walk instead?" Jenilia finally spoke after a long time as she found them flying. 

"And why is that?" Salazar asked. "We can see more of our surroundings from the sky."

"I know. But the surroundings can also see us," Jenilia replied. "Did you forget? That Dragon was the strongest Beast of Captain Zhu. And there were tens of those beasts. If these beasts decide to attack us, can we stay safe? We don't know much about this world. We should avoid conflict as much as possible."

"I can understand what you're trying to say. I don't want conflict either. Those Dragons can shatter my strongest barrier too. But we need to have an aerial view if we don't want to spend our entire life searching for directions," Lucifer explained. 

"Also, we must take at least that much risk. In any case, it's better than walking and not as dangerous either. The true danger would be stepping inside that Forest without knowing what might be inside. Maybe a beast stronger than those Dragons is there?"

After the three of them reached a hundred feet above the ground, they got a better view of the surroundings. 

As they looked around, they noticed the beautiful nature in this world. The forest that surrounded the arena wasn't that long. It was only one kilometer long. 

Outside the forest was where the true beauty of this world started. 

A beautiful river existed in the land that had the crystal clear water that was sparkling because of light. 

Many beasts were drinking water from the river, making it appear safe for consumption. As for the Beasts, some of them were Dark Dragons. There was also a beast that appeared to be similar to a rhino, but it was three times the size of an ordinary rhino. 

A trail of ants was walking parallel to the river with fruits on their backs. The red ants were three feet tall, unlike ordinary ants. There appeared to be hundreds of such ants, each carrying a fruit. 

All these ants were entering a hole in the ground. 

What stunned Lucifer even more, was that he could see tens of crystal snakes swimming in the water. The snakes were the same as the ones used by Zhu.

It was clear that Zhu received a great beast, but it was also clear that the beast wasn't that rare. If these beasts were so common here, then what was a rare beast? If that was the average level of beasts here, what was the peak? Just how did this world work?

"This place... It is so big..." Salazar muttered, amazed. There was a forest, a twenty meter wide river, multiple ponds, and mountains in the distance. He couldn't help but appreciate the nature in its entirety. 

Lucifer shifted his gaze from the snakes in the water and onto the mountains. The mountain range in the back was white, covered in snow. 

Based on the heights, the mountains didn't look anything special but there was something special on them.
