It wasn't anything bad. It just showed him a passive skill he had no idea existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Status: Recovery Mode – Passive Healing Active]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon gave another mental command as he didn't want to mutter something odd in the room in the presence of others. \"Condition of my summons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summons Condition: Fenrir (Guarding), Cerbe (Ground Sweeping), Skylar (Recovery Cycle), Aquila (With Arielle), Luton (Storage Mode)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hush of the room pressed against Damien's ears like water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was still, but his thoughts buzzed—quiet, heavy, unfinished. Arielle sat beside him, chin resting on her knuckles, her legs crossed and foot bouncing lightly against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said something,\" she said, her voice soft but not hesitant. \"Before you passed out. Something about a sixth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien didn't answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the ceiling, wooden beams reinforced with enchanted steel. The shadows cast from the lanterns danced slightly across the stone-trimmed walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien could hear the distant hum of protective magic runes running across the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" he said eventually, barely above a whisper. \"I did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When no elaboration came, her brow furrowed faintly. \"Sixth what, Damien?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally turned to look at her, red eyes dulled from exhaustion but still alert. \"I'll show you soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned. \"That's not an answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the only one I can give right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arielle exhaled through her nose, clearly debating whether to press the issue. Then she stood. \"You're always like this. Cagey, mysterious, annoyingly calm while half-dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked faintly. \"It's worked so far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she reached the door, she paused. \"Rest. You look like death. I'm going to check on Lyone. He's been trying to come stay by your side, but I told him you'd want him fed more than hovered over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien nodded. \"Tell him not to finish the food without me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arielle raised an eyebrow. \"You're not in any condition to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, his stomach rumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brrrrrr...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arielle blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien blinked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That was Willor,\" he said, deadpan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander, seated on the bed across the room, chuckled. \"If I wasn't halfway crippled, I'd throw something at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arielle covered her mouth as she laughed. \"I'll have a hot plate sent up for the both of you. And something for Luyon too, if it promises not to eat the cooks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luton's picky,\" Damien said. \"He only eats threats, monsters, and occasionally thieves or small time criminals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comforting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved once, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she stepped out. \"Don't die while I'm gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door clicked shut behind her, and silence returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Willor set down a steaming mug on the windowsill beside his bed. He was already wrapped in clean bandages, shirtless under a fur-lined coat, his expression more relaxed than Damien had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's sharp,\" Willor said, voice even. \"And loyal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Damien replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien looked up. \"Is that a question or a judgment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor shrugged. \"Just observation. You don't talk much. But you watch her. Closely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's the kind of person you watch,\" Damien said after a pause. \"Not because you don't trust her. But because people like her… they get caught between things. People. Choices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor leaned back, eyes heavy. \"I had someone like that once. Years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn't wait for me to come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a beat of silence. \"You spent too much time getting milk, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More silence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Willor was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien had gone silent too. He was silently regretting that statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\" He finally muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be,\" Willor muttered. \"It made me better. Colder, but better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both sat quietly for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor pulled a fresh tray of roasted meat, dried vegetables, and soft-baked bread toward him and set a plate down between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat. You'll heal faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien accepted a share of the food, tearing into the meat without ceremony. Every bite sent pulses of warmth back into his sore limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long was I out again?\" Damien asked again. He'd obviously forgotten that the commander had answered the same question from him minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighteen hours. You collapsed on Fenrir's back at the ridge and scared the hell out of the Dunters who saw you pass out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are they now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scattered. Dead ones being honored. Survivors resting or prepping to move out. Most left you alone. They're not sure what you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien didn't respond. He chewed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor leaned against the window frame. \"They say you didn't just fight those things on the other end before you came to help our side. You tore through them. Alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't,\" Damien corrected. \"I had my summons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still. You led them. That fusion demon... it would've killed all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You held it off long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor chuckled darkly. \"We both know that wasn't going to last. I was seconds from going under when you arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien looked at him. \"Then it was good timing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more minutes passed before the commander finally stood, wincing as his leg protested beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm done for the night. Try not to break the furniture in your sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien smirked. \"No promises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willor pulled the blanket up to his chest and exhaled. \"Wake me if the walls explode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only if I'm awake to notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair enough.\" Commander Willor chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the commander was asleep, soft snoring filling the upper air of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien leaned back in his bed again, his plate now empty, his limbs aching in that dull, overused way that always followed massive essence expenditure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sleep didn't come right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had been quiet since the last update, but the weight of it lingered at the back of his mind like a pulse just beneath the surface of his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six Summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slot still free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't show him anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No preview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could feel it… curled deep within his summoning core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a gut feeling that it just might be more powerful compared to his current ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about this summon slot felt odd compared to the others. Not just a beast. Not a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something more… mythic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't fear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to be ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned on his side, let out a long breath, and finally, as the lanterns flickered lower and the night sky rolled over Greshan, he slept.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-05T19:28:51.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","223c6096209a04b365a85a5e1cea62e6ee3ee360cfd3acef071e2560ac9dcd06","sss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--chapter-364","sss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--chapter-362",548,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-ranked-awakening-i-can-only-summon-mythical--cover.jpg"]
