"Silva, how about you summon one Ogre and one Salamander to see how they are?" I asked her humbly.

"Okay!" Silva obediently said.

She quickly summoned two large magic circles over the floor of the empty dungeon, from there, an enormous, three-meter-tall, green-skinned mass of muscles wearing bone armor and carrying a giant Axe emerged, looking around curiously but not doing anything in particular. The other magic circle summoned a gigantic beast, perhaps roughly four meters big, it was a covered in red scales and looked like a lizard, with sharp orange eyes, the entire monster's aura was fierce, with a long tail.

"These are the two?" She wondered.

"Yes, those are! Ogre Warrior and Fire Salamander! They look stronger than I had imagined, and big!" I said in surprise, entering Silva's dungeon to inspect the two beasts.

I saw their stats, and although they can't level up or something, they seemed to be brimming with great potential. Their Skills were also not to scoff at. The Ogre Warrior came packed with [Berserk Mode], [All Weapon Usage], [Leadership], and [Barbarian] and these Skills all boosted their power in numbers of large armies and even more while enjoying the thrill of battle. And lastly, the Fire Salamander had things such as [Blazing Breath], [Fire Rejecting Scales], [Fiery Claws], and [Hellfire Jaws], which are all powerful and both offensive and defensive in nature.

"Great, these are quite powerful… For now, use all your MP to summon them, Silva." I said.

"Okay mama!" Silva said, beginning to summon more and more of these two.

Unlike the Barbarian Monkeys cost 100 MP and the Armored Rhinos 400 MP, the Ogre Warrior was 600 MP and the Fire Salamander 900 MP. It was clear that they were very strong if they cost more and more MP than before. Silva already had a lot of MP saved by now, and I quickly decided to transfer her half of my MP to generate even more monsters.

In a few seconds, she was able to summon 120 new summons, 70 Ogre Warriors and 50 Fire Salamanders. She ended with almost no MP, but it quickly began to recover by itself automatically. Over time, she'll be able to reach enough MP to get more to summon even more creatures. These monsters are particularly stronger than before, so they should be an amazing asset! I have to tell Elfina and Floresse about this asap, if I don't tell them, they might end up too surprised. Our army has to know the Ogres Warriors and Fire Salamanders are our allies.

I ran back to the manor of Floresse and explained her and Elfina, who were just waking up as it was 6 AM right now, about my new Summoning Skill. Elfina had already explained I could make familiars made of Chaos, but when I showed her the Ogre and the Salamander I brought out, they were both shocked.

"J-Just how can you summon them?! Aren't I the summoner! It's a bit awful!" Elfina cried childishly.

"Well you're more of a Limited Time Summoner while also being able to bring very strong Summons due to the many limitations you have. Meanwhile, I am fixated to some monsters I can summon, which are not really restricted by much, and I can summon many, but they can't level up and develop like your summons and are made to be mass produced to die in the battlefield quickly after being created." I said to her. Elfina stopped angrily barking at me and sat down to think, suddenly looking as if she was completely in the blue for a few seconds, but swiftly regaining her senses.

"You're right, this works like that… I guess I am the more unique Summoner while you're the one that mass produces them! … I am Quality over Quantity while you're the opposite! Heh, I get it now. After all, I summoned someone of high quality like you that can bring more summons." Elfina said, finally concluding to not annoy me about the most stupid of things.

"Thankfully she understood…" I sighed in relief.

"Isn't it quite curious you acquired such power after the Dark Labyrinth was gone though? Well, I've never seen these monsters before in this dungeon…" Said Floresse. "But still…"

"Hahaha… Maybe? I mean, perhaps I ate the dungeon for all I know. Not like you can do anything about it or take it away from me in any way shape or form, as it is gone." I said with a direct tone of voice, Floresse seemed to have understood at long last.

"I see, well, what a pity…" She sighed. "So how many of these do you have? Five? Or a dozen? Maybe they can be a good help if you command them well-"

"Over 120- no, 150 right now." I said.

"…Eh?"

"Yeah, did you heard me?" I asked.

"I-I did! But 150?! Are you kidding me?! Is that even possible?" Floresse asked in shock.

"Kireina stop joking around with us!" Elfina said.

"You want to see?" I asked. "Open Gate."

FLASH!

Suddenly, a Gate opened, as many more Ogres and Salamanders stepped out, constantly. At the end, the two ladies were going so crazy that they begged me to stop this before I flooded the entire place. The monsters went back to the dungeon after that.

"So?" I asked.

"Y-Yes, we completely understand now… In fact, we should had never underestimated you, to be honest…" Sighed Elfina, feeling overwhelmed by the power of my Summons- well, Silva's summons. But she doesn't mind that I take credit about them, she's too carefree and relaxed to even care about such formalities.

"Heh, I am glad I am finally getting the recognition I deserve." I said happily.

Suddenly, I saw Sol running downstairs with his armor on and his hand holding the handle of his sword.

"Elfina, I saw them! The guards are coming here with the soldiers but… the army of Humans, it is approaching directly towards here from within their territory…! They finally showed up in the horizon." Sol said.

"Ugh?! They're already here?!" Elfina cried, feeling clearly fearful.

"It is time, Elfina, Kireina…" Said Floresse.

"Yeah, let's do it." I was filled with the resolve of obtaining this generous amount of EXP.
