Chapter 104: Summoning Part 1

"Kazuma! You are out at long last!" Maple said and helped Anya stood up.

"Sorry that I left the two of you alone suffering the force that the door is giving to all of you," I said and cast Healing Flame to them, one of the skills of Suzaku that I inherited from the blessings.

"You learned a new skill?" Maple looked at my new power and was amazed to see her wounds being healed whenever the red flame passes her wounds and scratches.

"Something like that, but I also have to endure a lot to get it before I can use it. I almost got killed when trying to get it," I explained.

"But you managed stepfather so that must mean you have beaten the enemy," Anya said.

"Not really, there are still three enemies left and the guardian said that I am not qualified to challenge the remaining enemies because I am not strong enough. Anyway, enough of that. How is the situation on the surface? Do you have any news with them?"

"Yes. I have sent a shikigami spell to monitor the surface earlier and I have already seen countless demons and demonic beasts around the place and it's getting troublesome. We would be easily overwhelmed by them if we bother to appear before them. We are doomed."

I frowned hearing this.

"Stay positive. This is not the first time I fought against countless demons and that is not the last time. We will survive this onslaught. So let's go and fight them. There is no point hiding here. We will push on and fight!"

"But Kazuma, demons are not some monsters you can easily kill! They are creatures with powerful magic skills and can even manipulate dark powers! I am not the same as you who has monstrous abilities to take on the enemies like the demons! Besides, Anya is with us! We would not be able to properly fight!"

Anya's eyebrows furrowed when she heard this.

"Sis Maple, I may be a child but I am also a dragon child. I can handle a demonic beast or two if I wanted to. Don't underestimate me, sis."

"Anya is right. She is not just a little kid we need to protect. She can fight on her own without any problem. I don't think she will be a burden either. You are strong Maple, it's just that you are not able to control it. Don't worry about that! You can unleash your full power here!" I encouraged Maple.

As I encourage Maple to fight, a demonic beast in the form of a boar appeared charging towards us.

"An enemy!" Maple shouted and was about to take out her sword but I attacked first without waiting for Maple's action.

I have plenty of magic spells that I managed to earn after my battle against Suzaku and Byakko. After I passed out and entered my consciousness where the sprout of the Ygdrassil resides, all of the unknown spells that I received from the Celestial Beasts after getting the inheritance all came to my mind allowing me to learn them and use them properly once the time is right.

Now, one of those times is definitely now, seeing the charging boar, I grinned and slam my hands together.

"Lord of the skies! Deliver the judgment to the fallen entities below that taint the Earth! Come forth! Divine Lightning!"

A yellow magic circle with 3 rotating circles appeared above the boar and with a snap, a bolt of huge lightning fell down the circle and roasted the boar to ashes.

"Wha?" Maple was stunned.

Even I was stunned. A powerful magic spell like that did not even take too much mana on my body but I felt like it was similar to those spells I frequently use that has explosive firepower but with insane mana consumption too. This magic is currently one of the basic magic spells that I got from Byakko. The other magic spells that have bigger mana consumption is not yet used yet so if this magic spell is considered as the basic one, then does that mean that the ultimate spells that I learned can be devastating if needed to be?

"Now is our chance to get out of here, stepfather. We are now sure that the demonic beasts will also attack here so we are not safe here either. Let's go outside."

Maple has no choice but to agree. She nodded and steel herself. I think she has some sort of fear from the demons based on her reactions when the demons are mentioned but I don't have time to inquire about her on the cause so I will just keep myself silent.

Since we need to get out of here fast, we need a ride out of here. I call Kon in my mind and managed to reconnect to my familiars.

"Master! What is going on? Why did we disconnect for a few hours from you? We can't contact you at all!" Yuri's voice echoed in my head.

"Master, did something happen that caused us to be unable to get out earlier?" Yuto's voice also emerged.

"Not really, it is just that the restrictions from the area I was in earlier prevent me from any kind of outside help even from my familiars that is why you all are stuck in that."

"Master, are you already out of that place? The barrier that seems to stop us from getting out already disappeared from here. I hope you are fine in there," Inari-sama chimed in.

"I am already out of that area so you all can now get out whenever you please. However, I need to get Kon outside right now. We have an emergency situation and I need him to get out of here as fast as possible. Inari-sama, is he available right now?"

"He can be of service anytime. He already informed us about the demons and to think that they are here again which means you all needed to get out as soon as possible. If only I can be summoned already, I can be of help against the threat of the demons," Inari-sama said.

Then, something came back to me. If the Sprout of Ygdrassil can increase my mana, then does that mean I have a probability to summon her? Also, from what the knowledge that came in, the Sprout of Ygdrassil can give me infinite mana as long as there is still mana left in me. In that case, can I really get her out now?

"Inari-sama! Prepare for a bit, I will try summoning you!"
