These Familiars Are Strange

"Are you sure that you want to do this? It'll take a while to do all of this." Iris said with a strange look on her face as she looked at the scene in front of us.

Wang Rong didn't say anything, but it was obvious by the look on his face that he agreed with what Iris said.

But even with the two of them looking at me like this, I didn't back down as I said, "This is the best way to clear this dungeon. You just have to trust me on this, I know what I'm doing."

The two of them still had looks of doubt on their faces, but they didn't say anything else in the end.

Instead, they turned to face all of the Abyss Demons and sand people that were in front of us.

The place that I had brought us was the place where it all began.

Well, it wasn't exactly the place where it all began since this was the second battlefield that we found.

The first one had already been settled, so there was nothing that we could have done if we went over to the first one. Instead, we came to this second one where the fight between the Abyss Demons and sand people were still ongoing.

It was here that I told the two of them that I wanted to slaughter the Abyss Demons.

Though they agreed to see this through, both Iris and Wang Rong couldn't help looking at me with one last look of doubt.

Wang Rong even asked one more time, "Boss, are you sure about this? It doesn't seem like doing this will be any help."

But I just said, "I already said that we're doing this, are you afraid or something?"

A faint bitter smile appeared on Wang Rong's face when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else as he turned forward once more.

Since I was even going as far as teasing him like this, the last trace of doubt that was on his mind disappeared. And it wasn't just him, it was the same for Iris who turned forward again to face the Abyss Demons.

Both of them dashed forward and jumped into the battle.

Though it wasn't as if they jumped right into the battle.

Instead, they started dancing around the edges of the battle and used their mobility to take down the Abyss Demons while remaining outside of the main fray.

Even if we were strong, that didn't mean that we would be able to charge into the main lines of the Abyss Demons without any hesitation. This was a battlefield, there were just too many Abyss Demons in the first place.

Even if the Abyss Demons didn't pose a threat, it was a matter of running out of stamina eventually.

So it was better to rely on the sand people to distract the Abyss Demons and pick them off like this.

With each Abyss Demon that they took down, it really seemed like Iris and Wang Rong were becoming sharper and sharper. It seemed that they were becoming more and more familiar with the way that the Abyss Demons acted, which made it easier to take them down.

Though in the first place, these Abyss Demons were nothing more than NPCs to begin with.

They had a predictable pattern, so it was easy to dodge their attacks and take them down.

But it still took time since there were just so many of them…

Or at least that was what I had thought at first until I suddenly thought of something.

I woke the Astral White Tiger that had gone back to napping.

When it came out, it didn't seem that excited about being woken up. Then it seemed even less excited about what I wanted it to do.

Only the Astral White Tiger didn't have a choice in this matter since I was giving it an order.

So the Astral White Tiger opened its mouth and spat out the sand once more.

It was just that the way that the Astral White Tiger did this made it seem like it had no motivation at all. It even looked at me as if it was saying…

"You can do this yourself."

Since I was the Astral White Tiger's master, I was actually able to control the Astral White Tiger's power and use the sand. But the way that the Astral White Tiger did this really filled me with a strange feeling.

Still, I directed the sand that the Astral White Tiger released to surround the Abyss Demons.

But by doing this…

"What is happening?" I couldn't help saying in a surprised voice as I watched the sand people in front of me.

All of them seemed to have been invigorated by something when the sandstorm appeared. It was as if they were filled with energy and power as they attacked the Abyss Demons in front of them.

When their attacks landed on the Abyss Demons, they did much more damage than they did before.

It seemed the sand people had been buffed to the point where they were far stronger than the Abyss Demons individually now.

"Is there this kind of effect from this sand?" I couldn't help asking as I looked at the sandstorm that I had raised.

I knew that this sand was one that was filled with pure elemental energy, but I certainly didn't expect this kind of effect…

Still, it didn't seem like a bad thing.

Since it made the sand people stronger, this meant that it was even easier for us to accomplish our goal.

I even added in the power of illusions to this and it didn't take long before the Abyss Demons started falling left and right. It really seemed like it was only a matter of time before all of the Abyss Demons were taken down.

But that was exactly what I wanted to see.

After taking down these Abyss Demons, it would be time for…
