Chapter 255 Summoning The Spirit

Spirits only had the ranks that we knew but, there are kinds.

All kinds have their different 'type'.

Like the water attribute sprites. They have their kind, and they are all called water attribute sprites, even if they are of ice attribute or mist attribute.

Both of them are of water's attribute, so they are water's kind.

But then, ice and mist, specialized in dual properties like ice and normal water, warm water, cold water, healing water, or even destructive water, are the types.

The general spirits can do most of those things on their own, like using normal minor healing spells, small attack spells, or maybe defense spells.

But, most of the time, what a spirit can do is decided from the moment they are summoned to make contact.

For example, when someone calls a spirit for a normal contract, let's say an elf is the one summoning them, then the summoned spirit would be random in all cases.

Though their strength would be based on the strength and energy their summoner has, their ability to 'learn', adapt, and handle the energy summoner has varied.

And that is the reason many elemental summoners get disappointed because they don't have a spirit that can grow any more than it has and can't learn new things even while having more intelligence.

The ability to adapt and learn is a special thing few spirits possess, and summoning such spirits is mostly based on luck.`

Well, what if we can limit the range of summoning?

What if we can narrow down the 'types' from all the kinds we can summon?

Not exactly a specific spirit but, at the very least, a spirit with specific characteristics and intelligence and growth potential.

Summoning a water attribute spirit with healing properties, high intelligence, and the ability to learn, would be better than any random spirit that can use water and ice attributes but isn't friendly or just likes to cause trouble, right?

I can do that... the only problem is, I will cough some blood. Nothing serious, though.

This Solnova spell that can limit these summoning was something she taught me, and one of the things that took me longer to learn.

Like, just the spell took me one month, and then the execution and scripting process took another two months.

Even now, this spell was so complex I need at least a month to finish one of these spells in scripting, and currently only had a few ready.

And I used one of those here to help her get the best baby she could ask for.

And after this much preparation...

The Mana conducting walls, the modified magic circle that gathered the spirit Mana from the surrounding and increased the Mana density, my special Solnova magic circle, this spirit stone filled with dense spirit Mana that will be crucial in summoning.

The special ice cream increased a person's Mana gathering speed as well as attribute affinity, and most importantly... a beautiful witch.

After I put my spell on the Mana gathering magic circle, which was only meant for increasing Mana density, was now shining in rainbow-like colors, almost like the headmaster's eyes.

But this one had far more colors than them, and the glow it gave off was also quite unique than before.

Now, the magic array that was meant for Mana gathering had turned into something that changed the entire atmosphere of the surrounding, and now, the entire room was filled with visible particles of spirit Mana.

The preparations had been completed; I was ready, the summoning stone was ready and the one who will be the one to call the spirit after I activate this... was also ready now.

'You took your damn sweet time savoring that one spoon, dear.' I said as our eyes met and she looked at the glowing magic circle before her.

She was on the other side of the room now. I was in the middle of the magic circle and our grandparents were in the left corner, which was quite a distance away from her.

But they knew what was going on and they had shining, star-filled eyes as they looked at the magic array.

This was amazing, and even my heart was beating faster than before.

This was fun for me, even though she would be the one getting a baby.

Her luck was terrible... and I knew that much because she found someone like me, but, well, I had great luck finding someone like her.

And I would be the one setting things, and I can only hope that my high luck, and the high luck of all the four present here, would overwhelm her terrible luck, and a cute one emerges from this magic circle.

I had done my best. Now, everything was up to her.

And she understood this from my serious eyes and nodded with a delighted smile.

'My darling. Already taking care of this unlucky, old witch. Thanks... for everything, Eon.'

And now she was thanking me... though that 'darling' was quite unexpected.

But, well, why not?

We had been called mates, maybe we had also accepted the reality, so, she can call me anything she likes.

I prefer Rein. Simple, cute, and special.

Nodding my head at her with a smile, I got serious.

'Good luck. Hope you get a wonderful baby~.'

And... she shook her head helplessly at those words.

'Baby... why not~.'

…what?

That old witch smirked at those words, and the way she said this last thing... damn naughty girl.

Shaking my head in denial of those words, I channeled some energy to the stone in my hands and clenched my hand.

The spirit stone shattered and turned into fine dust particles and as soon as that happened, a big pure white magic circle, the same as the stone, appeared above our heads.

And now... this was our turn.

The pure white magic circle, which was too complex and different from the ones on the ground, started resonating with the ones on the ground.

The resonation was powerful and almost the entire room, which was made of powerful walls that can even block high magic, started shaking.

I held Asta with both my hands and as this partner weapon of mine was the core of the magic circle on the ground; I used my own energy to solidify the spell and then stabilized this chaotic resonation with the spell above.

And as soon as that happened and the pure white magic circle turned the same color as the one on the ground, Rein knew what she had to do.

Closing her hands, joining both her hands as if praying, she started sending all her Mana into the magic circle above.

And, strangely, as soon as her Mana touched the circle, the magic circle started changing colors and started rotating in the air.

This was strange for a spirit summoning, as the magic circle of summoning doesn't spin like it was doing right now.

The old ones on the other side definitely didn't know what was happening right now but, though rare, I knew this phenomenon.

And this one was a good thing.

The magic circle started sucking her Mana, and she had closed her eyes, so thankfully she didn't see my face.

The two magic circles on the ground and air were resonating and the one that I draw to filter the outcome was doing what it should while the one in the air was being influenced by this.

I was holding it in but, this process was too harsh on both my mind and body.

Even though I knew I would be alright with just one red potion after this was over, the strain was really something horrible.

But I can handle it.

She was enduring the thing on the other side so, I couldn't just hold back right now.

And I knew the feeling of your Mana forcefully being sucked out and… it was no normal feeling.

It was strange... and I knew just how spooky it felt.

I knew it so well I can write a book on just the feeling of your energy being sucked out of you.

And that tingly, weird feeling was something I wasn't too fond of.

So we both were suffering, and the results at the end of suffering are always nice, right?

At least in this situation, the reward was going to be something pretty.

Something amazing and something that will definitely choose to serve such a wonderful master as my 'friend' Rein.

I wanted to cough up the blood that was gathering in my mouth, but I clenched my teeth and waited for the summoning to finish.

And, thankfully, it didn't take that long for the magic circle to suck out enough Mana from her to summon the <Intermediate> ranked spirit.

The Magic circle that gave off this colorful light started changing colors, and slowly a green color started replacing the giant magic circle.

This green was strange, as green as the tree leaves, but... she should have summoned a water spirit, not an earth, nature, or wind spirit of green color, right?

The one coming out of this magic array should be a water spirit and not something else but, I knew there could be more color to a simple elemental spirit.

We can't judge things just from the summoning color of the magic circle and so, we all waited until the creature was here.

She was exhausted from the Mana drain. Her breaths were heavy, but... I couldn't hold back this thing any longer.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahakkk..."

I coughed out a bad amount of blood and I knew the four of them would be worried from just the sheer amount that covered the floor, but I lifted my hand and stopped them.

I was fine for most of the parts, so it was ok.

I was doing this out of my selfishness anyway, so it was all on me.

And grandpa who was ready to just run up to me, stopped as he saw me firmly lifting my hand.

He understood I was ok, or at least I will be fine.

Thankfully, I held out until the summoning was done, and just after I coughed this crimson red blood, the summoning circle, spinning above us, glowing with a blinding light.

And... I knew she saw me like that.

But the light that blinded everyone was too much even for her so, she had no choice but to close her eyes.

The light was pure, bright, powerful, and blinding.

But, well, this one was nothing compared to what I have seen before.

So, I was fine, and I had enough time to clean all this blood and drink the red potion to heal all the damage.

And as the bright green light vanished, and she was able to see me once again, I smiled at her.

And my warm smile at least calmed her sudden wild heart.

She was fine, the four of them standing some distance away were fine and now, after both magic circles on the ground and ceilings had vanished... there was something new with us.

Something actually adorable.

And as mine and all of their eyes fell on this cute little thing... we can't help our warm gazes.

I… no, we had succeeded in summoning a wonderfully adorable being.

My eyes were sparkling while looking at this baby, and everyone else was the same.

But… as we were looking at this being, this little one was also looking at the one who summoned her here with confused eyes.

"Meeeeeoooowww~?"
