Chapter 157 - 148 - Devil Soul Summon Magic

The words instantly caused everything to go quiet. Everyone's eyes went wide as they stared in disbelief at Kritos.

It wasn't just them who were staring in shock. Suddenly, a violent wind whipped down from mid-air in the shape of a gigantic illusory hand. The hand reached down to grab the shocked Kritos, wrenching him up toward a huge cave on the Mountain.

At the same time, an ancient voice, filled with wrath and even pain, echoed out throughout the Agastya Clan.

"Clan Grand Priest, my son has proven innocent. So, From now on, if anyone breathes even half a word of this matter, don't blame me for flipping out!"

The voice was filled with an intensely domineering air as it rumbled out in all directions. The gigantic wind hand dragged Kritos into a spacious cave, then slammed him violently onto the ground. When he landed, however, the power dissipated so that, although he tumbled a bit, he wasn't hurt at all.

His eyes rolled around, and his brain spun in circles. Inwardly, he was worried that his cover might be blown. However, after reminding himself that this was an illusory world, he felt a bit more at ease. Dusting himself off, he stood up and looked around.

This cave was so simple that it couldn't possibly be any more simple. It was large but only contained a single stone bed. Sitting cross-legged on top of the bed was a middle-aged man.

He was the Head of the Agastya Clan!

Next to him was an oil lamp that flickered brightly, completely illuminating the entire cave. If you looked closely, you would be able to see that the wick of the lamp was, shockingly, a phoenix, shrunken down so small that it was roughly the size of a finger!

The oil lamp was not crafted from bronze, but rather, was made of a shrunken down golden dragon. This appeared to be a real golden dragon, its mouth open, its whiskers undulating, as if the entire dragon had been transformed into an oil lamp!

With a dragon as the lamp and a phoenix as the wick, were an object like this to be revealed in the Sincromas World, it would cause a huge commotion throughout all the lands of Sincromas World. It might even cause shock among the starry skies.

The man sitting on the stone bed had handsome features. It was obvious that when he was young, he had been even more dashing. Right now, his expression was dignified, and he wore a long gray robe. Currently, he was frowning a bit helplessly at Kritos.

Seeing Kritos's response caused Paswa to give an exasperated chortle. "Do you know anything about fear? Isn't there anyone you're afraid of? Quit pulling this kind of crap with me!

"Fine. For the time being, don't go near that old man Peak. And keep a low profile, too. Prasui, stop fooling around so much! You're not a kid any more. Got it?!?!" The more he spoke, the more angry he seemed. However, when he looked at his son, he couldn't help but sigh. His gaze softened, and his anger passed.

"Very well," he said, his tone warm. "I want you to demonstrate the Ancient Summon magic I've passed on to you. Go ahead, show it off."

Kritos swallowed hard. He was actually very nervous at the moment, so nervous that he couldn't control himself. As far back as he could remember, he had never felt such nervousness. As he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his own father.

The good memories of his father. He didn't even know if he is fine or not.

"What's wrong?" asked Paswa, frowning.

"I… I forgot," replied Kritos, bracing himself. There was really nothing he could do. Prasu's memories really did not contain any Summon magic.

Paswa stared at Kritos for a very long time before sighing again. His eyes flickered with disappointment.

"Prasu, you can't be like this…." As he spoke, he waved his finger through the air, causing the spiritual energy in the area to condense together. It formed into countless magical symbols in front of him, which then transformed into a jade slip that came to hover in front of Kritos.

"This is the Devil Soul Summon magic . Go gain enlightenment regarding it. Go." As Paswa stared at him, Kritos's heart began to beat rapidly. He thought about his identity, and all the good fortune that was available within this Agastya Clan. How could he ever have imagined that he would receive some so quickly?

He took the jade slip, then bowed his head and clasped hands.

After emerging from the cave, he looked off into the sky toward the place bestowed to him.

Although he was not sure if he can really able to use summon magic. Kritos still yearn to try it.

Besides, he heard in the Dwivedi Clan that summoning magic was hard to obtain. 

Even if he can only learn and comprehend this magic technique, it will be a big gain from him.

"I have to stay away from the wife of this body. She would certainly attempt to kill me."

As far he remembers, she was a mid-rank Chakra Soul Realm cultivator, one level higher than him.

"System, can I also obtain SP from killing monsters in this world?" 

[Ding…]

[No…]

Kritos received a direct rejection from the System. 

However, Kritos has already anticipated this response as it is impossible to obtain SP for killing illusory monsters. He just wanted to try his luck.

"Is it possible to use the innate trait of this body?"

He had guessed that it may be possible after noticing in his status screen, but he still want to confirm it.

[Ding…]

[Yes, In this world with the host current body, the host can easily perform those two innate traits.]

A smile blossomed on Kritos's face as he heard System's pleasant voice.
