"Allen!"
Just as Allen was studying the book Bair gave him in the library, Penello rushed in.
"Penello, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Mom made some honey cakes today, they taste pretty good, maybe you'd like to try them. "Allen smiled as he pushed a plate of neatly stacked small cakes towards Penello.
"Don't worry about that for now." Penello panted, "Listen to me, I have something to tell you …"
Allen closed the book and directed a teapot to pour a cup of hot black tea for Penello.
Penello took a small sip, calmed down a little, and told Allen what she had just seen and heard.
Just now, Penello took advantage of the night to head towards the territory of the Giant Eight-eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest. She wanted to absorb more souls, but she saw Snape standing in an empty space filled with shadows. But he was not alone, Hagrid was there too. Penello couldn't see the expression on his face, but Hagrid kept nodding his head. Penello hid his figure and quietly approached, listening attentively to what they were talking about.
"You have to pay special attention to the Forbidden Forest, this is also Dumbledore's idea. The centaurs recently told Dumbledore that the situation with the Giant Eight-Eyed Spider is a little strange. "Snape said, his voice cold," You better investigate this thoroughly. "
Snape said, and took a step closer to Hagrid, "Take care of your pet, don't cause trouble. If you see anyone appear in the Forbidden Forest during your night patrol, you must tell me or Dumbledore. "
Snape didn't specifically tell Hagrid to pay attention to Family Harris' people, after all, Hagrid and Family Harris had a good relationship. This hybrid giant didn't know how to hide his expression, so it was easy for others to see through him.
"I see! Don't worry, we'll just keep the Eight-Eyed Spider in your pocket, "Allen comforted as he stroked his smooth chin after listening to Penello's description.
Allen was a man of action. He took Penello and headed straight for the Forbidden Forest.
Allen's movement speed was very fast, and tonight's weather was also very good. The sky was full of dark clouds, and the moon could not be seen. The Forbidden Forest was even darker.
Two black silhouettes shuttled through the Forbidden Forest and soon arrived at the territory of the Giant Eight-Eyed Spider. Wearing H94 uniforms and night vision masks, Allen and Roland were not affected by the darkness at all.
"There are so many of them. It might take a long time to capture all of them." Penello frowned and gripped his wand tightly.
"Don't worry, Penello." Allen grabbed Penello's arm. Then, a strange voice came out of his mouth. He stretched out five fingers and pointed at the empty space in front of him.
Six large hyena-like monsters with rusty red or dark brown short fur appeared in the open space. They looked very powerful. Their backs and other parts were covered with black bone spurs. The stripes on their bodies, teeth, and tongues were all dark black. Two sharp black horns protruded from their cheeks, and their eyes shone with red light.
"These are Hellhounds, one of the lowest creatures among the demons." The Hellhounds that were baring their teeth at Allen lowered their heads after being stared at for a second or two.
Allen turned to Penello and introduced them, "It's not difficult to summon them. It doesn't take much magic power, and you can summon many of them at once. For tracking and hunting, there's nothing more suitable than them. Hellhounds are very efficient hunters. They're best at group tactics, which is to quietly surround their prey. Then, one or two of the Hellhounds will use their flame breath to force the prey to move in the direction of the other Hellhounds. If the prey doesn't escape, the group of Hellhounds will swarm it, and the Hellhounds will relentlessly pursue the escaping prey. Every ten seconds, they can spit out flames to cover a fan-shaped area of about thirty feet. They can also use it while biting, but the power is far inferior to Dragon Breath or Fierce Fire. It's about the same as raging flames. Their biggest weakness is that they are afraid of cold damage, which will bring them double the damage. "
Then Allen ordered a few words in Infernal. The six Hellhounds quietly sneaked up and quietly approached the eight-eyed spiders. Two of them rushed out and began to use their cone-shaped flame breath to force the eight-eyed spiders to move in the direction of the other Hellhounds. If the eight-eyed spiders didn't escape, the six Hellhounds would swarm them. After Allen put the spiders into Penello's small backpack, they persistently pursued the escaping spiders.
Allen and Penello easily followed behind the six Hellhounds, occasionally killing the fish that escaped the net. When the Hellhounds were injured or killed, Allen would cast spells again and summon more to make up for the difference.
"They can't speak or communicate telepathically like your demon-hunting spiders, but they can understand simple orders in Infernal. Before you learn Infernal, you can say a few words in advance. Speaking of Hellhounds, when I was in the first grade, I once saw a three-headed hellhound raised by Hagrid. Some high-level demons would use them to guard the door. Three-headed hellhounds are more advanced than the ones I summoned, but Hagrid's only has a very thin three-headed hellhound bloodline left." Allen explained with a relaxed expression.
"How do I summon them? Is there a limit?" Penello looked at the Hellhounds with interest. It must be very impressive to bring them to carry out a mission.
"This kind of summoning magic must not be used casually. You must be careful." Looking at the progress of the Hellhounds, Allen decided to give Penello some knowledge in this area.
"There are two types of summoning magic. One is a more casual summoning like Bair's. It can summon mid to low-level demons called Otherworld Oath. The maximum number and quality of the summoned creatures depends on the user's strength and mana consumption.
The Otherworld Oath can summon a maximum of six demons, but it can't be used too many times to increase the limit. The specific types and strength of the summoned creatures depend on the user's strength and will. Of course, you must at least have a certain amount of knowledge about demons, and know what they are before you can summon them. "
"The other type of Otherworld Gate doesn't have a limit on the number of demons it can summon. However, for someone like Bair, even if he knows the information, he still needs to communicate beforehand. After that, it can only be decided based on the other party's attitude. Don't try to summon them by force. Otherwise, not only will it fail, it will also be seen as a provocation and an attack. For example, I found that Bair isn't an ordinary pit fiend. He's far more powerful than the average pit fiend. Although he left his … method of contact so that it'll be easier to summon him in the future. I've only just learnt this spell, so I can only summon a few low-level demons as an experiment. "
Allen furrowed his brows at the thought of Bair's strength, and the fact that he was willing to waste his energy on a human Magus competition.
"Besides, the Otherworld Gate can also be used as a key, and it's even safer. You can see the other side from one side, so there's no hidden danger like being stuck in a rock halfway through a teleportation, or being teleported into the deep sea due to an error." Allen knocked out a giant eight-eyed spider that was pouncing from behind, and Penello kept it in his pouch.
"Of course, once a monster is teleported here, it'll have to go through a battle of wills. Otherwise, the devil will likely attack you, because you've forcefully captured it. Even if the summoned devil wants to make a deal with it, it'll still have to go through a devil's contract with it. This is the power of Baator. For example, if you want it to provide you with resources from Baator, it'll have to be fair, even if it's just a bluff. "
With Allen's introduction, this one-sided capture was nearing its end.
The giant eight-eyed spiders brandished their giant pincers, rushing over to counterattack. However, with the tacit cooperation of the hellhounds, it was futile. Their actions even saved the hellhounds time to chase after them.
Very quickly, they were all taken into Penello's pouch, along with the roaring Aragok.
