Chapter 52: The Elemental Vanguard
Lei Feng stood before five floating figures, arms crossed, brow furrowed in contemplation. They hovered in front of him like colorful lanterns, each exuding a powerful aura… and yet, their appearances seemed almost absurdly cute.
He squinted.
"They're adorable," he muttered. "Too adorable."
One blinked slowly at him—puffy cheeks, glowing elemental body, oversized eyes that radiated warmth and curiosity.
He sighed.
"I mean… they look like mascots, not monsters. Am I supposed to send them into battle like this?"
Just then, his eyes caught a flicker beside each summon—a hovering translucent screen glowing in their respective elemental colors. A line of text pulsed faintly across each one.
> [Non-Combat State]
"Huh?" Lei Feng blinked. "Non-combat state? So this isn't their true form?"
He called out, "System!"
Ding!
A crisp chime echoed in his mind immediately, explaining the situation before he could ask.
