Chapter 272 Summoning Of Shadow Demon King



In the sky, Sun could be seen covered in clouds; The light passing through it fell on the one-kilometer area, making it look like there was a day, but the rest of the area, was still filled with darkness. A boy could be seen making a giant circle; he then drew a pentagram inside it. He then used his shadow energy to create a sculpture of the head of a goat-headed demon.

He then took out large candles and placed them around the circle before lighting them up; He then brought out a humanoid beast covered in chains. He struggled constantly, but the boy ignored him and brought him to the center of the circle in front of the skull.

He then started chanting the incantation, "Suscipe, rex daemon, sacrificium meum et Ostende te!" He cut out his thumb and used it to mark the forehead of the creature; he then marked the forehead of the skull. He then looked at the sunlight around him and snapped.

A large amount of shadow energy appeared from his shadow core, creating a Viel that didn't allow sunlight to reach the Demonic Circle directly. He then chanted the incarnation; the skull shook this time, and a violet flame burned inside its eyes. It started shaking its jaws as if it had come alive; The humanoid beast's whole body shook as he looked at it.

He started shaking, trying to escape, but unfortunately, the chains tightened. Rishi took out a potion and fed the humanoid beast. He didn't want it to hurt itself, as the sacrifice should not be wounded; even a slight scratch could lead to failure.

The humanoid beast was not able to think clearly after drinking the potion. Rishi sighed and bowed to the skull, Which resulted in the fire burning. He then fed the beast some meat and alcohol; When the humanoid beast became busy eating, he created a machete and took a deep breath.

The machete swung through the air, making a 'swish' sound; A head fell on the plate before the skull. Rishi looked at it before chanting, "Ad ligandum eos pariter eos coram me!"

He continued chanting; The skull started moving faster; its jaws moved up and down. He carefully placed the body of the creature upside down and started to store his blood in the vessel; The patterns in the vessel started turning red as he fed it more blood.

Rishi kept chanting and started releasing his shadow energy; He controlled it and started filling the body of the humanoid creature in front of him with it. He used beast blood to create multiple tattoos all over his body; the creature's head started shaking.

The lifeless body started levitating; He closed his eyes and started to call the Shadow Demon King. This continued for a while before a strange violet-colored smoke was released from the skull; It started entering the body and head of the corpse.

The corpse started shaking, and the tattoos all over his body turned red. The head of the creature started spinning; It went near the demon skull and blasted it, bathing the skull in blood.

The winds around them started blowing wild; The creatures started crying and moved far away from this place. The clouds increased in the sky, and the sound of thunder shook everyone; A red-colored lightning bolt appeared from the sky and hit the corpse.

The next moment, Rishi felt like he was in the ice realm; he could feel his whole body freezing. A pressure descended that made him kneel; He used his will and somehow stood with his legs shaking. He looked at the corpse and saw it standing on its legs; he could only see a shadow of the figure covered in black smoke.

"Who summoned me?" A voice appeared inside Rishi's head. He looked in front and saw a strange creature with the head of a demon and the body of a humanoid creature.

Rishi greeted him, saying, "It was me; I wanted to make a deal with you."

He heard laughter behind him; A hand colder than a glacier touched his shoulder. "You have such high mastery of the shadow element at this young age." He licked his lips before holding him by the back of his neck and saying, "Let me take this body."

Sweat appeared around his body as he said, "I summoned you; how can you do that to me? Listen, I have a deal for you."

"Haa haa haa ha" A mocking laugh could be heard. The Demon shook his head in pity and said, "I am a demon, not a Genie you have released from a bottle."

Rishi tried to persuade him, but this guy was dense; He was heartless and emotionless. Rishi decided that this guy would not listen like this; he said, "As expected of a demon, you didn't let me down; your race deserves its reputation."

"Let me get some fresh air; it's subbing," said Rishi as his lips curled up. The veil of the shadow element dissipated, and sunlight fell directly on top of the Demon.

"AAH!" he cried in agony as his body started burning. Rishi didn't stop there; he took out a dagger that shone in white light and stabbed the heart of the Demon. The body started burning again before disappearing, leaving behind a shadow struggling to survive.

Rishi looked at the shadow and said, "Let's talk again."

"How dare you! I will kill you." The Demon kept threatening him, but Rishi ignored his threats and showed him the ring given to him by Yakshini.

"How in the world does a lowly human like you possess this ring?" asked the Demon in surprise. Rishi used his shadow to create a lot again; The shadow demon was weak now. It was hard for him even to keep his manifestation; Rishi told him how he had received this ring and who was behind him.

He also told the shadow demon about his master plan and how it could help young shadow demons grow together with humans. The Shadow Demon King thought about it for some time before bargaining with him; He introduced some more terms like the contractor of shadow demons must offer sacrifice to their race. Sacrifices were a fast way for demons to grow stronger.

Rishi added some conditions like the shadow demons would not try to harm their master or corrupt him. It took them an hour to come to a deal; Rishi signed a soul contract with the Demon King; the Demon wanted to form a contract with Rishi, but he rejected it.

The manifestation dissipated the next moment, and Rishi used his sword aura to destroy all signs. Summoning a demon was forbidden; It was often linked with betraying humanity. The Shadow Demon King had given him a strange chain with a circular pendant, a pentagram, and a demon head.

Rishi fell and sighed; The scene of the sacrifice appeared in front of his eyes. He could see the creature's emotions, and no matter how different he was from a human, he felt like he had sacrificed a human.

He was disgusted by it and couldn't believe there existed people who sacrificed many humans for some petty gains. While he was not one to lecture any human about kindness and empathy, he felt that there were some boundaries as a human that one should not cross.

He explored the dungeon before returning to his apartment; His eyes fell on the egg inside an egg container. It was the egg of Drake of Thunder, and he thought a lot before deciding to select it; The reason was because of the potential of this beast.

Drake were wingless creatures with a high amount of dragon bloodline inside them; they were very strong. They had a strong body covered in scales that had very high defense; their physical strength was also top of the charts, but what made them unique was their magic power.

As they had a high amount of dragon blood, they could use dragon breath, a signature skill of dragons. He had used his inspection on it and found out that to hatch it; he needed to feed this egg Dragon Bloodline essence. At first, he was not able to think about what to do.

Dragons were mighty; they were so strong that a drop of their blood could make a beast reach an elite level. Bloodline essence was the purest part of the bloodline. It was minuscule in quantity. Every beast could recover his bloodline after depleting it, but one must wait for months and years to recover bloodline essence.

He was disappointed, but then he thought about it for some time, and his eyes lit up. "Why do I need the blood essence of a dragon? I need the blood essence of the dragon bloodline. I can hunt beasts with the dragon bloodline and extract their bloodline essence."

"It will take time; I should order some now. I don't know about the location of Draconic Beasts right now; even if I know where they are, I am not strong enough to defeat them."
