Chapter 15: Strong protector
Lu Fang stood at the edge of the shelter, thinking. He only had seven points left, and he had to decide what to do. The shelter was in danger, and the Liang family might attack soon. The food he had imagined was just a quick fix, but it wouldn't last long. He needed alot of points, so lu fang decidded to go hunting and needed something to protect the shelter.
He thought about the shadow power he wanted to imagine. It would let him hide in shadows and attack from there, but it costs fifteen points. That was too much. He couldn't waste all his points on something that wouldn't protect the shelter.
Then an idea came to him. Instead of getting shadow power, he could summon a shadow soldier. A soldier made of shadows would be strong enough to protect the shelter.
The system quickly answered:-
[A shadow soldier can be summoned for 7 points to last until it is killed].
but that would leave him with no points to protect himself while hunting.
He needed to find a better solution.
Lu Fang thought for a moment and then asked, the system "Can I summon a shadow soldier for just one day?"
The system quickly answered:-
[it can be summoned for 1 point].
The one-day option was perfect. It would give him protection while he was away, and he would still have six points left.
Then the lu fang uses 1 point to imagine ashadow soldier.
The air around him shifted, and a shadow began to form. Slowly, it became a tall figure covered in dark armor. The shadow soldier stood still, waiting for orders. It didn't speak, but its presence was strong.
Li Lan and Li Mei watched from a distance. They didn't know what Lu Fang had been doing, but when they saw the shadow soldier, they were shocked.
"What is that?" Li Mei asked, her voice full of surprise.
Lu Fang turned to them. "This is my ability. It allows me to summon a shadow soldier. It will protect the shelter while I'm gone."
Li Lan blinked. "It's made of shadows?"
Lu Fang nodded. "Yes. It's strong, and it will follow my orders. It won't speak, and it won't move unless I tell it to."
Li Mei stepped forward. "How strong is it?"
Lu Fang looked at the soldier, then back at Mei Ling. "I'm about to find out."
Without saying anything more, Lu Fang walked up to the soldier and punched the shadow as hard as he can. The soldier didn't move. Lu Fang swung his fist at the soldier's chest. The fist hit the armor with a loud noise, but the soldier didn't move.
Then lu fang orders the shadow to attack and the shadow immeadiatly swung its armored fist at Lu Fang, hitting him hard in the chest.
The blow sent Lu Fang flying backward. He hit the ground hard, gasping for air. The shadow soldier stood still, unmoving.
Lu Fang wiped the blood from his lip and slowly got up. "It's strong."
Li Mei and Li Lan stared at the soldier in shock. It had knocked Lu Fang down with just one punch.
"It's peak E-rank," Lu Fang muttered. "It's much stronger than me who is just F-rank."
Li Lan looked at the soldier. "So it's strong as the caption of crimson vanguard?"
Lu Fang nodded. "Yes.and It's strong enough to protect the shelter while I'm gone."
He turned to the shadow soldier. "Stay here and protect the shelter. Don't let anyone get past you."
The soldier didn't move, but it stood still, ready to protect the shelter. Lu Fang turned to the girls.
"I'll be back before nightfall. Stay safe."
With that, he left the shelter and entered the forest ready for whatever came next. He didn't know what monsters were out there, but he was prepared. He had to be.
In the distance, he heard rustling and a low growl. His eyes narrowed as he saw movement in the forest. Something big was coming.
