Chapter 106: Chapter 106 - Summoning the Enhanced Juggernaut
2/5
---
At this very moment—
What shocked Alise, Kaguya, Laila, and the others even more...
Inside the massive summoning magic circle cast by Raven, emerged a colossal monster.
It had two arms and two legs.
Its height reached nearly 5 meters, and its body length spanned over 20 meters.
There wasn't a trace of muscle on its frame.
Its entire body was covered in armor-like plating that resembled angular, crystalline mech armor.
From its waist extended a long, needle-like, hardened tail, at least 7 meters in length.
Its protruding head resembled the skull of a beast, with empty eye sockets glowing ominously crimson.
This was—
The Catastrophe, Juggernaut.
Its title: The Destroyer.
Estimated potential: Level 9.
It was different from the usual black Juggernauts summoned by the Dungeon.
This one, summoned by Raven's magic, had a vivid crimson red color.
A symbol of dread and nightmare.
This was its attack mode, which massively boosted its strength and speed.
But this version of Juggernaut had an additional transformation granted by summoning magic.
It could switch forms mid-battle.
Its alternate form—
Gold-colored.
This signified an extreme increase in durability and defense.
Of course...
In defense mode, it not only gained magic reflection, but also physical reflection.
It could also devour other monsters to enhance its own abilities—just like a regular Destroyer.
For example—
Devour a Hellhound's magic stone? It gains flame breath permanently.
Devour a Skull Sheep's magic stone? It gains bone spike eruption.
And so on.
The difference between it and the regular kind was as stark as between a Goliath and a Black Goliath.
The black Juggernaut was considered an aberrant species of monster.
But this crimson Destroyer, with potential at Level 9, was undoubtedly a reinforced aberrant type.
If given the chance to land a surprise attack—
Even the Loki Familia might not escape total annihilation.
In short—
Its power was immeasurable. It had no known upper limit.
…
After downing a high-grade Mind Recovery Potion,
Raven exhaled deeply.
He raised his head, looking up at the monster before him with utter satisfaction.
This was what a true summoner should be capable of.
Indeed—
The Juggernaut he summoned was absolutely loyal.
There was no risk of rebellion.
To Raven, the Juggernaut was like his own pet.
It could understand his words and obey his commands.
If he told it to kill someone—it would kill.
No hesitation.
"—So? What do you think?"
"How's this new companion of mine?"
Raven chuckled softly, casting his gaze toward the members of the Justice Girl Squad.
"Alise, Kaguya, Laila—you don't seem too excited?"
"Relax. It only listens to my commands. It won't go on a rampage or harm innocent adventurers."
"I can control it completely."
He smiled with confidence, implying that this beast was destined to become a Dungeon-killing weapon…
And maybe even...
His personal mount.
Talk about style.
Compared to the beast tamers of the Ganesha Familia, Raven was in a whole different league.
A dream even someone like Jarrah could never hope to reach.
…
Hearing this—
The ten members of the Astraea Familia finally eased up a little.
"A monster, huh?"
"Can I test its strength?" asked Lagunares, a glint of interest flashing in her eyes as she tightened her fist.
To be honest—
Every adventurer instinctively rejects monsters.
And for a Level 9 like Lagunares, she wouldn't allow any being—human or monster—to surpass her.
Even the Black Dragon was a target she wished to challenge.
Raven thought for a moment, then said,
"Fine, but if you're going to fight, let's find a place deeper in the Dungeon."
This Juggernaut, summoned through magic—
Had no magic stone inside.
It only looked vulnerable.
But in reality—it was truly invincible.
To defeat this Level 9 Destroyer—
There were only two options:
Knock out the summoner.
Or...
Possess a completely overwhelming power—
One strong enough to instant-kill the Juggernaut even after it enters defense mode.
With the current adventurer population in Orario?
That was virtually impossible.
Only the legendary Black Dragon might stand a chance.
"Raven-sama…"
"Why summon a monster instead of a person this time?" Meteria asked softly, her eyes filled with curiosity after recovering from her shock.
"I never said my summoning magic was limited to humans."
"This creature is called Juggernaut—or simply, the Destroyer."
Though Alise and the others had previously seen it during a surprise attack, they had no idea what it was called.
"Alright. Time to activate it."
With that said—
Raven focused.
And silently—
He released the shackles of consciousness restraining the beast's mind.
