Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"Humans?!" Legolas was alarmed.

Christensen's claim was outlandish but Legolas did not put it off, he believed him. After over a month of staying together, their relationship already increased to such a high level that Christensen had full trust in him.

According to the virtual interface, Christensen's favorability of him already increased to the peak of mortals, just short of godly respect.

Godly respect was the respect that humans had for gods. With Christensen's current relationship with him, the prince trusted him more than he ever trusted his parents while they were still alive so Legolas did not doubt him.

The only problem was that this island was an isolated one. Of course, there were superhumans who stumbled here occasionally but it was very rare.

In his previous life, this island only became known like a few years later when the truth of the island's miraculous healing herbs became known.

"Who are these humans?" Legolas was curious and alert.

The only problem was that he didn't make this discovery by himself, he turned to face Christensen. "Are you sure of your claim?"

"Yes, I think I've mastered this tracking something".

"Then, show me".

"Ok".

Christensen led the way as they back-traced into the forest, about a minute later he paused. "See that broken twig, that's the one that I spoke of".

"It looks like it was done by a wild beast but if you look closer you'll see".

Even before Christensen finished speaking, Legolas already went closer to look. Surprisingly, he had to spend more than 30 seconds before he confirmed it.

Legolas frowned. "You're right, it was done by a human but…" Legolas paused in deep thought. "Something is strange".

"Huh?"

"I've never spent more than 10 seconds to identify something like this".

"Besides, when we walked past here, for some reason, my senses seemed hindered to the surroundings and I didn't even pay attention to the broken twig".

"Huh?" Christensen scratched his head.

"Take me to the footprints you saw". Legolas's face was now serious.

"Ahh…, you're just beside one".

Legolas was shocked as he looked down, then he frowned and shook his head. "I can't see any footprint". The next moment he raised his head and glared at Christensen. "Don't tell me you're bluffing with me".

Christensen quickly raised his hands in surrender as Legolas's voice changed. "Wait, let me make it clearer".

The next moment, he bent down and removed some of the dry leaves that were on the floor. After removing about 3 of them, like it was magic, footprints that were completely hidden in the soil previously started materializing.

Not just there but across a region of about 3 or 4 meters.

"1…, 2…, 3 humans!" Legolas was alarmed.

"How did you find the footprints?" Legolas turned to look at Christensen.

The next moment, his virtual interface lit up.

Legolas's eyes literally bulged out of their sockets on seeing this.

"Umm…, master, are you ok?"

"Ahh, yes, I'm fine".

It took a few seconds for Legolas to snap out of the shock that the virtual interface notification gave him. After he did though, his face turned grim.

"We're in danger". Legolas said in a deep voice.

"Ahh…!" Christensen was shocked. "What happened? Where? How?"

"I always told you that you're talented, discovering these tracks are originally not possible for normal superhumans. Due to my training, you were able to unlock a hidden talent of yours which enabled you to see this".

"Wow! Really?"

"Yes, but that's not the focus for now". Legolas's eyes narrowed. "If I'm not mistaken, the Clown Society is after us and they're already in this island".

"Ahh…!"

"That ability to erase tracks and traces from existence is a special Pugilist ability that is exclusive to the Clown Society".

"By injecting their specially trained Pugilists with a serum, they unlock this ability and others, turning them into the ultimate assassins".

"I believe that 3 of them came here and they've seen us already".

"They're probably planning how to take us down right now".

Christensen was alarmed as he finally understood the gravity of their situation, he was not scared this time though, his will for battle was only stimulated.

"Don't underestimate them". Legolas noticed and warned then he smiled. "Do not underestimate them but I also have to admit, you're their bane right now".

"I don't know how they were able to track us all the way from Palm Island but the fact that it took them 2 weeks to come meant they came prepared".

"There's a high chance that we'll be facing more than 3 psychopaths, and if we're even more unlucky, we may be facing a Grade D expert also".

"No, we'll be facing a Grade D expert". Legolas changed his words. "I doubt that old geezer would miss the chance to get back at us for his humiliation".

"Master, so what's the plan?"

Legolas smiled. "You're getting smarter". He gave Christensen a thumb up. "I say we beat them at their own game and hunt them down".

"The fact that they've not attacked us yet likely mean that they intend to ambush and kill us in the night when we are asleep".

"We will hunt them down and attack them before they do".

"This will grant us the initiative so that in the case we cannot win against them, we'll easily have the option of retreating and escaping from the island".

"With the Chefron, they cannot catch us".

"But that beast left to sea last week and has not returned yet, how are you sure that it hasn't deserted us?"

"Because it likes me". Legolas smiled. "Let's follow them".

For the first time, Legolas let someone else do the tracking while he followed. Like Christensen said, indeed, he already mastered tracking and with his talent, their speed of tracking was blistering as they moved through the forest.

Following from behind, Legolas was all smiles as the progress of unlocking this OP talent increased by another 2 points as they moved.

As they moved, Christensen suddenly paused, then he sniffed the air before whispering. "I smell them…, I smell humans".

"…" Legolas was petrified in speechlessness.

He was left even more speechless when the virtual interface lit up.

'Damn, this guy is a walking treasure trove'. Legolas salivated in his mind.

All main NPC characters in Dominator had exclusive talents and abilities that made them iconic, originally, lucky players could get these talents by completing missions that were issued by these NPCs.

Legolas never expected to reap all the benefits just by being Christensen's teacher. 'Teaching is the best profession ever, no one can convince me otherwise'.
