Chapter 12: Second Summoning, Hyorinmaru

Not only was Li Jiayu exasperated by the astonishing words of the Dark Octopus, but many classmates were also left utterly speechless. Some open-minded boys even showed bewildered expressions, muttering, "Oh, so it's not an octopus, but a tentacle monster..."

As for the girls, needless to say, they all looked at the perverted Dark Octopus with strange expressions, even screaming and backing far away, unnaturally covering sensitive areas, feeling chills all over, lacking any sense of security even while clothed.

Actually, they didn't need to worry. While the Dark Octopus was indeed very perverted, it was still fundamentally an octopus, merely possessing a trace of Tentacle Monster bloodline. It wouldn't actively attack humans. Of course, if Li Jiayu needed it to attack humans, its attack methods would be bone-chilling.

"No... not give me... more stockings... underwear... I... I have no strength... no strength, means bad condition..." the Dark Octopus said.

"Damn it! Are you threatening me now?"

Li Jiayu roared through gritted teeth. If he weren't so weak, he would have kicked this embarrassing perverted monster away!

"We... are... equal partners... you... don't give me... treasures, I... will go on strike..."

"You!"

"Strike... even if... even if I unilaterally break the contract... get punished by the contract... I still want fun treasures... for the nice smell... I'd rather die..."

"Then hurry up and die already!"

Li Jiayu was furious, his face almost turning black with anger. To think that in his previous life, he was a legendary summoner who made enemies tremble in fear, commanding even high-level dark creatures like Bone Dragons, Liches, Death Gods, and Headless Horsemen, none daring to disobey.

But now, reborn, the first thing he summoned was such an oddity like a mutated Dark Octopus, and worse, this oddity was so difficult to handle...

However, Li Jiayu quickly adjusted his mindset.

Having experienced too much in his past life, rising and falling greatly, he had actually long since become indifferent to many pointless things. The reason he was angry initially was because the Dark Octopus disobeyed him. It had been a long time since he encountered a summoned creature daring to defy his will. In the past, any summoned beast that dared challenge his dignity, Li Jiayu would utterly destroy them, body and soul!

...But, considering his current low strength, while the Dark Octopus was a high-Tier 1 magical beast, two tiers above him, it was normal for it not to obey him. He could only blame himself for still being too weak.

"Forget it, now is not the time to be petty... Sun Weiwei, Han Xiaoqi, Zhou Jiamin, look..." Li Jiayu sighed, suddenly looking at those girls, his meaning obvious.

"What? How can we do that?"

Several girls who were originally standing close to Li Jiayu took a step back, shaking their heads with flushed faces, expressing absolute refusal:

"Who... who wants to pee on that kind of perverted octopus... Besides, we were already scared peeless earlier, how could we possibly pee again..."

"That's not what I meant!"

Li Jiayu slapped his forehead, speechless:

"How could I possibly ask you to actually pee on it... I'd rather die than do something so perverted! But, to survive, some appropriate sacrifices must be made... So, I'm sorry, some of your... personal items, just pick a few to appease this pervert. No need to take off bras or underwear, it's not easy for you girls either..."

Some boys who feared death also joined in, shouting one after another:

"Compared to life, never mind personal items, I'd even give a finger!"

"Disaster is imminent, what's the point of those personal items!"

"Yeah, the whole class is counting on you! You're just giving up a few unimportant things, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh."

"Don't feel pressured, just think of it as throwing personal items to a dog."

Hearing this, the girls felt immense pressure. They looked at each other, faces strange, unsure what to think. At this moment, the sounds of screams, curses, and fighting reaching their ears grew louder and louder!

"Hm? Have the Red-Crested Beetles already pushed to the third floor?... So fast. At this rate, they'll reach the sixth floor in less than two minutes..."

As Li Jiayu spoke, chaotic footsteps and pushing sounds already echoed from the stairwell and corridors. It was noisy and disorganized. Clearly, students from the lower floors were scared witless and climbing to higher floors, wanting to reach the thirteenth floor to get far away from the Red-Crested Beetles – even knowing it was self-deception, dying a minute later was still better. Maybe if the insects ate their fill and had their fun, they would let them go!

The students in Li Jiayu's class were startled, horrified. The fire was already singeing their eyebrows! Just one ordinary Scythe Beetle and one Scythe Beetle King were so terrifying; wouldn't the dozens of massive Red-Crested Beetles be even more dangerous?

The only one who could give them a slight sense of security was Li Jiayu, but unfortunately, he had lost at least 300 milliliters of blood and couldn't recover quickly. His combat power was likely insufficient. Thus, the only remaining reliance was that octopus!

Although they couldn't understand how this octopus appeared, nor could they comprehend how such a perverted octopus could exist in the world, with the apocalypse upon them, the girls couldn't be bothered to think too much. They hesitated for less than three seconds, then decided survival was paramount. Compared to life, a girl's modesty meant nothing. Taking a deep breath resolutely, they deftly threw over earrings, pendants, hairpins, jackets, and the like. One girl even blushed furiously, fumbled inside her bra, took out a thick breast pad, and threw it over too, leaving the nearby male students dumbfounded – Damn, always thought she was a buxom bombshell, at least 36E... didn't expect it was false advertising, her real size was only 32B! Classmates for a year, you deceived us so badly!

"Li Jiayu... I... although I can't take off my underwear... I got my period today..." Han Xiaoqi walked up to Li Jiayu, nervously fidgeting with the corner of her clothes, finally mustering the courage to speak after a long pause.

"Oh, so what if your period came? You're not thinking of giving your bloody sanitary pad to this dead pervert too, are you?"

"If you need it... it's not impossible. Although you're a guy, I've always thought of you as a sister. Giving you a sanitary pad isn't stressful for me."

"Who the hell needs that thing! Get it straight! How could I, Li Jiayu, want that kind of stuff? The one who wants it is the Dark Octopus!"

Li Jiayu was stunned, momentarily speechless before roaring exasperatedly:

"Even if the sanitary pad could greatly increase the Dark Octopus's combat power, no! It's too perverted! I can't accept it! My integrity hasn't completely hit rock bottom yet!"

"But... my sanitary pad is useless anyway. With disaster looming, who cares about perverted or not? The stronger it is, the more hope we have of surviving... What's a small sacrifice..."

"Mm, makes sense... but still no! I, Li Jiayu, hate heavy tastes! Besides, the Dark Octopus isn't the only thing I can rely on; it's not our main combat force. Your sanitary pad can at most increase its combat power by ten percent, which is useless against dozens of Red-Crested Beetles!"

Li Jiayu said, flatly refusing Han Xiaoqi's kind offer. Han Xiaoqi blushing furiously withdrew her hand from her underwear... Mm, her fingertips were indeed red...

"Lots... lots of fun treasures... enough... I... satisfied... I... will protect... these... pretty females... who gave me fun treasures..."

At this moment, the Dark Octopus happily waved its tentacles. Stuck to its head was a pair of white silk panties and two black breast pads. Its tentacle suction cups were adorned with numerous stockings, hairpins, pendants, and even a bottle of women's perfume!

Li Jiayu covered his face, feeling utterly ashamed of his summoned beast. After mourning silently for a second, he gritted his teeth, his face regaining a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice:

"There's still the second summoning... The corpse of the King-level Scythe Beetle definitely won't disappoint me. Let's begin now!"

Hand seals flew again, the incantation chanted once more. Sprinkling blood from the wound on his elbow onto the Scythe Beetle King's corpse, suddenly, an even more profound, ice-white magic circle materialized around Li Jiayu!

Simultaneously, pale blue radiance erupted, illuminating the entire classroom as brightly as the midday sun, making it hard to open one's eyes. Countless streams of energy lightning danced wildly like silver snakes, whipping people's clothes about!

This scene was far more imposing than when summoning the Dark Octopus!

"Ding ding ding..."

Accompanied by a clear sword cry, a chilling aura suddenly permeated the entire classroom. In an instant, it froze people until goosebumps rose, teeth chattered, and breath turned into white mist. The temperature must have dropped to at least minus ten degrees Celsius!

What on earth could instantly lower the temperature by over thirty degrees?

An ancient-looking blue sword hilt slowly emerged from the magic circle. Li Jiayu's heart stirred, and he exclaimed in pleasant surprise:

"It's a weapon! It really is a magic weapon... Hyorinmaru? The sword's name is Hyorinmaru?"
