Chapter 39: Summoning Realm Creatures

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“So what if you have lost your summoning scripture? You can still summon realm creatures,” said the mysterious voice.

“Not everyone can communicate with the realm creatures. Besides, they require a lot of offerings. With my current situation and what has happened to the Li family, I won’t have enough resources.”

“Haha, do you really think you have nothing to offer? What about the city itself?”

Li Dong’s eyes widened.

“This happened before already. A person lost his summoning scripture and all his wealth. However, he was very cunning and did not give up. After summoning creatures from the realm, he pointed to the city and said, ‘There are your offerings.’ It was because of his existence that countless cities were destroyed. He also became famous and received rewards from countless countries. Then, he was able to live a carefree life. This person was known as the ‘Patriarch of the Dark Sky’. He is ranked ninth on the wanted list. Do you want to become such a person?”

The mysterious voice was full of temptation.

“Can I?”

Li Dong’s heart was breathing rapidly.

“What do I need to do?”

“Your aptitude is not good enough. I’m afraid you can’t even summon a level 20 realm creature, but there are other ways. You can borrow others’ spiritual power. They must be related to you by blood and be at a decent level.”

“Why are you helping me? What is your purpose?”

Li Dong composed himself and asked.

“I also want to kill Luo Chen. However, I’m unable to take action. Therefore, I seek your help!”

A shadow suddenly appeared in the room. He was wearing a wide, black hat. His face could not be seen. On the back of his black cloak, the word “God” was written on it.

…

When Luo Chen returned home, the party had ended. He heaved a sigh of relief.

“Dad, I’m back.”

“Where did you go? I’ve already arranged a marriage for you. How could you keep your future wife waiting?”

Ye Gan walked out shakily with a smile on his face.

“How could you? You didn’t even discuss it with me! I don’t want to wed an ugly woman!” said Luo Chen shamelessly.

“It’s not my fault that you weren’t here. Anyway, you can trust your father’s judgment. You’ll definitely be satisfied. She’s beautiful.”

“Fine! I wonder who’s lucky enough to be my fiancée.”

Luo Chen had probably never seen his own reflection before.

Anyway, he walked towards his room nervously. He drank some monkey’s wine on the way in an attempt to calm himself.

Just as he pushed open the door, he was shocked.

“Pfft!”

Luo Chen spat out the monkey’s wine and stuttered, “P… p… princess?”

It was Princess Phoenix from the restaurant. 

“What are you doing here?”

Luo Chen appeared to be very uneasy.

“Have you forgotten that you asked me to be your girlfriend? Are you going back on your words?” 

The princess sounded upset.

“Don’t beat around the bush! What’s your goal?”

“I just want to borrow your pet so I can hunt for treasures in the ocean. It’s summer now but there’s a place that was frozen overnight at the Thousand-island Lake. I’m sure there’s something hidden there.”

“Thousand-island Lake? Isn’t that the largest freshwater lake in this country? There are many wild summoned beasts there. It’s necessary to bring pets that handle water well if you want to explore the place.”

However, not many summoners have bonded with marine pets. After all, most of the battles occur on land. It would be a waste of a slot in the summoning scripture.

Luo Chen had the mermaid, black tortoise, and queen ant that would all perform well in water. This was the reason why Princess Phoenix looked for him.

“What will I get in return if I help you?” asked Luo Chen.

“I’ll split the treasure equally!” replied the princess immediately.

“Okay, let’s go!”

The treasure of the frozen lake was very well known. Luo Chen was afraid that someone would beat them to it.

Little did he know, he would be in danger the moment he stepped out of his house.

…

The Li family’s mansion.

The head of the Li family was lying in a pool of blood. His eyes were wide open. He did not expect his own son would kill him. 

‘Clap clap clap…’

An applause could be heard coming from the dark.

“This is how it should be. I admire you. Let the blood sacrifice begin!”

Li Dong nodded his head and drew a formation on the ground with his father’s blood. After that, he shouted, “Show yourself! I’m willing to offer you a soul!”

A black hole suddenly appeared and sucked the head of the Li family’s soul.

“Why have you summoned me?” asked a deep voice.

Then, a huge demon crawled out from the black hole. It had large wings made of bones on its back and a long horn. There were also spikes all over its body. Additionally, the demon had long and thin claws. 

Just based on appearance, one could tell that this demon was strong.

“Demon Lord! I need your help to get rid of a person named Luo Chen. I’ll sacrifice all the living beings in this city!”

Li Dong had a murderous look in his eyes.

“Where is this person?”

“He’s still in this city. You just need to kill everyone and my revenge will be completed!”

Li Dong sounded like he had gone insane.

“Very well. I’ll do as you say!”

The demon flapped its wings and went to the center of the city.

Everyone raised their heads and was shocked to see the demon.

“A demon! I think it’s level 60!”

“Are we going to die?”

“Who did this?”
