Chapter 194: Summoning The Abyss Dragon



Alister closed his eyes, focusing on the dark quartz summoning conduit cradled in his hands. He channeled his mana into it, feeling the surge of power coursing through him.

The conduit responded, absorbing his energy until it glowed with an ominous black and red hue. With a deep breath, he directed his will toward the massive, now-closed stone doors before him.

A beam of dark energy shot forth, striking the stone surface. The impact vibrated through the air as the conduit unleashed its power.

[Summoning processing....]

[The player should begin bringing necessary memories to the surface...]

Alister's thoughts then drifted to the moments he had spent with Mar'Garet, recalling her loyalty and spirit. Memories of her training with the spear and their shared spars flashed vividly in his mind, including some light-hearted moments of laughter, and the moment he left her to protect dragonkind in his stead. Remembering the forced smile she had on her face now made him feel slightly guilty, driving him to push harder against the conduit.

Alzuring, standing at a respectful distance, watched in fascination.

As the beam of energy subsided, the stone doors began to shimmer, a soft golden glow emanating from the cracks. Alister held his breath.

But slowly, that golden light shifted to a fiery red, pulsing so intensely that it forced Alister to shield his eyes this time. An unsettling dark aura surrounded the doors, causing a chill to go down his spine.

The doors slowly creaked open, revealing an abyss beyond. For a moment, the sight reminded Alister of something, but the moment he thought he knew what it was, he would forget it.

From the darkness, footsteps echoed softly-an approach that sounded too delicate to belong to a creature of great size, like a dragon.

Alister's thoughts raced, 'She must still be in her combat form.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As the footsteps grew nearer, flashes of a woman emerged from the depths. Clad in white and black worn-out battle gear, she held a spear in her right hand, walking forward with the grace of a seasoned warrior.

Suddenly, the system flashed a notification.

[Congratulations to the player for summoning the Abyss Dragon Mar' Garet Von Abyss-Void (SS rank).]

Seeing this, Alister's thoughts raced, 'A dragon? I thought she was a drake... like Cinder?' 'Did she evolve?'

Suddenly, another notification flashed.

[Notice! The summoned dragon possesses three titles!]

Alister narrowed his eyes, his expression hardening as he gazed at her coldly, unflinching in the face of her power.

Alzuring, who had been watching, now raised his own aura. The space around his massive body rippled with raw blue mana, a violent pulse of authority that made the air tremble.

His voice thundered, filled with fury. "You dare raise your aura in the presence of a member of the royal bloodline? That is a sin worthy of death! You are a disgrace to all dragonkind!"

The sheer force of Alzuring's presence caused the ground to shake, but Mar'Garet wasn't the least bit fazed. She had seen worse, far worse, so she simply ignored him, her cold eyes locked

onto Alister.

Her voice was cold as she spoke, her spear still pointed toward him.

"Look..."

"...I don't know what you think you're up to, but I will not tolerate you impersonating my lord. It's an insult I would gladly kill you for, but I have no time to waste on such a trivial

effort."

She lowered her spear slightly but did not relax her guard. "Now, I'll be removing myself from this place. I must return to the duty my true lord entrusted to me," she said, turning as if ready to leave through the summoning doors without another word.

As Mar'Garet turned to leave, the system flashed another notification.

[System Notice: Quest Issued!]

Quest Title: Restore the Lost Bond

Mar'Garet does not recognize you due to your altered appearance and aura. In her mind, you are not the Lord she once pledged loyalty to. To regain her trust, you must make her realize it is truly you, her Lord. Remind her of the bond you once shared and prove your identity.

Objective: Make Mar'Garet pledge her loyalty once more.

Reward: Random Class-Exclusive Skill

Alister's thoughts churned as he processed the new quest. He smiled slightly as he suddenly realized how to go about this.

As Mar'Garet strode forward with unwavering confidence, her dark armor glinting ominously under the red glow from the doors, Alister suddenly spoke up, his voice cutting through the

tension like a blade.

"Look at you," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "What a rebellious disciple you turned out to be. Can't even follow your lord's last orders to you."
