I Can Contract Beauties

Miguel smiled at her words.

She’s right. Life should not be easy.

With his and Edith’s strength, killing all of these assailants was no longer a matter of if they could, but how long.

However, if he does so, what good would it lead to?

They would just rely on him over and over again if he kept on saving them time and time again.

For their own personal growth, Miguel did not take action and allowed them to fight.

Except for the servants still cowering in fear behind him, the grimoire summoners, and Murphy, who has already moved to intercept and help fight the over thirty assailants.

At this moment, none of them knew the motives behind their actions.

However, based on what one of them said earlier, they should be coming for Erika, just like those bandits.

And this time, unlike the bandits that only wanted to capture and take them hostage, these assailants want all of them dead.

Albert’s tiger was very fierce. It was quite huge, and it was fighting two assailants at once and was not even at a disadvantage.

Every swipe of its paws brought an irresistible force that forced the assailants back, forcing them to lead more people to besiege it.

The Red Devil member, who transformed into a monkey, kept on jumping agilely from tree to tree as he fought the assailants skillfully. He has the upper hand due to his quick movements, but the assailants were also skilled, and he already has a lot of wounds, just like the tiger.

As the chaotic battle broke out, Miguel stared intently at the six assailants who had not moved yet.

One of the six was the leader who spoke about the contract earlier, and from those words, Miguel guessed that they were hired assassins.

As they knew Erika, he guessed that they must have been hired by the bandit leader to clean up the mess if the operation of Randy and Kram somehow failed, which it did.

At the next moment, one of them suddenly approached the leader in the middle and stated, "We should deal with this as soon as possible. We have already caused such a commotion. Let us settle this before it attracts unwanted attention."

Upon hearing that, the leader observed the situation one more time before nodding his head and saying, "Alright. I did not expect them to find such capable people; they should be mercenaries who saw the flare a few days ago. Anyway, the five of you should be more than enough to finish all of them, right?"

The five people beside him nodded their heads at each other, confirming his words.

Without wasting any more time, the five of them suddenly closed their eyes, and one after the other, they summoned their respective bronze-grade grimoires.

Their contracted beasts materialized in front of them with a streak of light. They waved their hands and ordered all of them to join the chaos.

The addition of these five contracted beasts brought a huge change to the situation in the battle.

If Erika and the others could still hold their candle against the assailants continuous attacks earlier, it could be said that they no longer have a chance to even win now.

Their absolute shield duration was also nearing the limit, and they only managed to kill and defeat just ten assailants combined.

Albert’s tiger, who was besieged by more than five assailants, immediately sensed the danger around it. It leaped back towards Albert, who had now summoned his own absolute shield for his own safety as well.

He looked at the summoned beasts with a grim expression on his face. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Their situation was grim, and he knew that they were now at a major disadvantage. He did not expect the assailants to have five grimoire summoners at all.

The beast they summoned looked quite strong as well.

A determined expression flashed across his face. He let his bronze grimoire float in front of him as he pressed his hands on the first page.

He closed his eyes and chanted his Innate Skill.

The next moment, his tiger actually began to grow bigger.

It doubled in size in an instant as it let out a roar that shook its surroundings.

Everyone turned their heads toward the now-humongous tiger.

The five beasts of the enemy immediately shifted their attention towards it.

With an order from their summoners, the five of them immediately moved to attack it as the five assailants retreated skillfully to join the others.

"Do everything you can to fend them off. My skill only lasts for two minutes," Albert stated as he waved his hands and ordered the humongous to move forward.

His members nodded their heads one after the other.

They no longer held back and used their trump cards one after the other.

Meanwhile, the leader of the assailants looked at the battlefield with a frown on his face. He did not expect that one of them actually had such a powerful Innate Skill.

Looking at the situation, he knew that the five of them would not be enough to deal with it.

He shook his head and sighed. "Forget it."

He waved his hands in the air as he looked at the situation regretfully.

In the end, he still had to make a move.

He closed his eyes for a brief moment as a Silver Grade Grimoire materialized in front of him.

The moment he summoned it, everyone’s attention was immediately attracted to him.

All the summoners, who were sensitive to Grimoire’s summoning energy, looked in his direction as their expression turned to that of a horrified one, especially Albert.

Although it was just a difference of one grade, Albert knew how strong those who had a Silver Grade Grimoire were.

He once saw one of them fight in Blazing City. It was terrific, and due to his fear of encountering them one day, he decided to lay low and become a mercenary in Red Cliff City.

Seeing such a person now made him recall the trauma of that time.

However, at the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise and amazement as he saw a person wearing a draconic mask appear right beside the leader of the assailants who summoned the Silver Grade Grimoire.

"Aiyah, could you not let them play peacefully for a few moments?"
