The battle between the 3-star summons and the intermediate monsters naturally ended in victory for the 3-star summons.
In a way, this was expected.
A 3-star summon was originally a living weapon capable of defeating intermediate demons on its own. Moreover, Anna and Theresia were summoned at a level more powerful than others, thanks to leveling up and exclusive ceremonies. If even their combined strength couldn’t subdue the monster, it was safe to say that no one in the testing ground could.
[Kooing!]
“It’s no use.”
Theresia swung her sword at the monster making its final stand. The deadly flames, infused with the fire of the phoenix said to burn anything, engulfed the monster entirely.
This was a creature that had easily withstood the energy blasts of a 1-star summon, yet it began to melt under Theresia’s flames.
Once I confirmed that the monster was vanquished, I immediately recalled the two summons and checked the time.
[18:29]
The time taken was twice as long as I’d anticipated.
“So summoning two doubles the time?”
It felt excessive, but since there was no way to contest it, I sighed lightly and turned my attention to the spot where the monster had fallen.
An unreal sight awaited me: a small pocket watch and an unknown map floated in the air.
“Well, isn’t this a game item…”
The scene resembled an RPG game, where items dropped by a defeated monster floated in midair. I couldn’t help but chuckle internally as I grabbed the two items.
Beep!
As soon as I picked up the watch, a beep sounded from my artifact. I glanced at it, noticing the time had increased significantly—from 18 minutes to a whopping 28 minutes.
“Time… can it be extended?”
Even factoring in the time it took to defeat the monster, the benefit was enormous. If I refrained from summoning altogether and simply hid somewhere, I’d have more time than anyone else right now. This granted me an overwhelming advantage no matter who I encountered.
“If that’s what the watch does…”
Curious about the map’s effect, I unfolded it immediately. Unlike the pocket watch, which activated right away, the map only displayed an image of the island.
“What is this…?”
Suddenly, a red light appeared on the map. Several small red dots clustered together, alongside one large red dot dwarfing the rest.
Instinctively, I touched the large red dot. My body floated into the air.
“Uh—!?”
When I opened my eyes again, I was face-to-face with a massive golem.
“Wh-who are you? Where is Stella Eritz?”
“Ah, what’s this? Are you a summoner?”
For a moment, I feared being crushed underfoot, but thankfully, a summon materialized in front of me.
Summoners couldn’t directly attack other summoners.
Taking a deep breath, I surveyed my surroundings and quickly grasped the situation.
“…This is dangerous.”
An uncountable number of summoners surrounded me on all sides. Shocked by my sudden appearance, they hesitated, but it was only a matter of time before they acted.
I realized I had to escape. While Anna and Theresia excelled in battles against small groups, fighting a large, prepared force was another matter entirely.
“Anna!”
A sudden beam of light burst forth, blinding the girl atop the golem.
It was Holy Brilliance, a move that inflicted searing pain on demonic monsters. To other summons or humans, however, it was merely a dazzling light.
The girl shrieked, unable to open her eyes.
“Master, I’ll get us out of here!”
“Okay.”
Anna appeared, swept me into her arms, and leapt away. The blonde-haired girl, recovering too late, shouted in frustration.
“What are you doing!? After them, now!”
Behind us, I sensed the summoners giving chase. I glanced at the dense forest ahead and smirked.
“Yes, come closer.”
An idea to strike them all at once formed in my mind as I lured them into the forest.

Meanwhile, Dinua and Stella, who had been hiding nearby, cautiously raised their heads.
“That…?”
“It’s Ian!”
Recognizing Ian, Dinua sprang to her feet, ready to follow him, but Stella grabbed her by the back of her collar.
“Hold on, Senior.”
“Why? I need to see Ian!”
“There’s nothing you can do right now without time left,” Stella replied firmly.
She assessed the situation with clarity. Ian was running, which meant his time was limited. So, what could they do?
“Ambush from behind.”
The blonde-haired girl and her group believed Dinua and Stella had disappeared.
All their attention was on Ian. This was the perfect opportunity to strike!
Get More Chapters on Patreon: From now on, FSM Level 2 will become the CN WN Bundle. The price will remain the same which is $10. Also, the price for the KR WN Bundle will also be decreased to $10 to match this bundle.
With this I have gotten rid of the level system. The reason I am doing this, is because I plan to add more chapters to the $5 Patron tiers. Previously the readers got 2 advance chapters when they became a $5 Patron, but now I’ve increased the chapters they will get to at least 5 chapters and more. So the current updated tier system will work like this:
The Individual Tiers ($5) will give you access to 5 chapters or more.
The Bundle Tiers ($10) will give you access to all the chapters of CN or KR webnovels.
The Supreme Patron ($30) will give you access to all the webnovel chapters on Goblinslate.
