Chapter 19: A Summoning From Hell

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Magical Beasts Mountain Range, at the altar.

Copperfield’s body felt weightless. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself next to the ancient altar.

Copperfield looked around. It seemed that there was a magical spell buried in this altar that could only be awakened by Elegy. Being here should not prevent him from experimenting with Elegy’s ability.

After other people awakened their souls, every time their star power rose, they would comprehend a new skill along with the soul they had awakened.

Copperfield only truly experienced the feeling of possessing a soul skill at this moment.

He calmed his heart and sent his soul power into Elegy. There was no music score. Copperfield only followed the undulations of Elegy and instinctively blew out a melody.

Following Copperfield’s playing, a circular formation with a diameter of four meters appeared on the ground in front of Copperfield.

Within the formation, one could faintly hear the neighs of warhorses.

Following the changes in the sounds made by the harmonica, creatures gradually appeared within the formation.

A completely black warhorse appeared in front of Copperfield’s eyes.

A pitch-black long horn grew on the warhorse’s head. Its eyes flickered with a bloody red glow. It wore a slightly tattered outfit. Its four hooves stepped on the ground, causing waves of faint green flame-like energy undulations to rise.

“Hell Warhorse — Midnight.”

So Elegy’s ability was a summoning ability? He had never seen a book that had recorded the appearance of the warhorse in front of him. This warhorse should have come from Hell.

Midnight was nearly three meters long. Just as Copperfield was about to mount it, Midnight docilely bent down and circled the altar twice. Copperfield discovered that Midnight’s speed was extremely fast, it was completely incomparable to the common wind-winged horse in the kingdom. Moreover, it being a creature of hell, unless it died and needed to be summoned again, there was no such thing as endurance on this horse.

After summoning the hell warhorse, Copperfield was just about to continue.

However, he learned from the undulations of Elegy that he could only summon one type of summoned creature at a time. He needed to cancel the summoning before he could summon other creatures of hell again.

Moreover, summoning was only one of the abilities that his soul carried. When Copperfield’s soul power rose, he could still continue to comprehend other soul skills such as Requiem.

After understanding this thoroughly, Copperfield waved his hand, and Midnight immediately turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared before his eyes.

“It’s convenient to cancel the summoning.”

Copperfield shook his head regretfully. If he could summon anything in an instant, then his combat style would become extremely diverse, and his idea of summoning a hell army seemed to have been shattered.

However, this possibility could only be imagined. As he could only summon something by playing Elegy, if he were to run and play while fighting, that would be quite silly, and make him no different from a moving target.

He shook his head and threw this strange idea out of his mind.

Copperfield immediately tried to summon another hell creature. His current power was two-star, and therefore he could summon two kinds of hell creatures.

The sound of the harmonica drifted around the altar.

An armored knight shrouded in black fog appeared from the magical spell.

Hell Knight — Nameless.

The moment the knight stepped out of the Magic Circle, Copperfield felt a death aura from Hell emanating from him.

The knight in front of him was about two meters tall. He held a huge black shield in his left hand and a long battle axe shrouded in black fog in his right. The length of the battle axe was about the same as the height of the knight. In Copperfield’s opinion, such a heavy battle axe should be used by both hands. However, this huge battle axe did not seem to weigh much in the hands of the knight.

The knight’s entire body was tightly wrapped, and there was not a trace of what was happening inside. There were two horns that were twisted like bulls’ horns on the top of the helmet, and black smoke was constantly flowing out of the two long and narrow eyes.

Compared to Midnight, Nameless seemed more like a creature from the depths of Hell. There was not a trace of life in his oppressive appearance.

There was no way to test the fighting strength of the knight around the altar, so Copperfield decided to leave the altar and make further plans in the mountain range.

Outside the illusion of the altar.

“I clearly saw that kid walking over here, where did he disappear to?”

“You must have been lazy. If we don’t find that kid Today, you should know Lord Cavendish’s fury.”

The two guards of the Cavendish Family were in the valley, blaming each other while carefully looking for traces of Copperfield.

After last night’s observation, they could already confirm that the black-robed youth that Lord Ryan had met at the entrance of the tavern was Copperfield.

The thought of the reward tempted them greatly if they were able to capture Copperfield.

Therefore, the two of them didn’t choose to send the news of them seeing Copperfield back first.

After all, these two guards of the Cavendish Family were of high-tier two-star soul power. It should be easy for them to capture just a one-star soul master?

Suddenly, the two of them heard footsteps behind them.

Turning their heads, they saw Copperfield, whom they had been bitterly searching for.

At this moment, Copperfield had just escaped from the illusory altar when he saw the two of them searching for him.

“Hahaha, the brat from the Russell Family, we have finally found you.”

“Yi, this soul power undulation from his body, could it be that he has already broken through to two-star?”

“So what if he has broken through to two-star? He’s just a piece of trash who has awakened a harmonica soul.”

“It’s not like you didn’t see it last night as well. The ability of his soul can at most be used as a support-type soul, as it can dispel some negative effects.”

The two Cavendish Family guards had great joy on their faces.

Copperfield before their eyes was like a source of income that was delivered to their doorstep.

Soon after, the light and shadow behind Copperfield distorted.

A knight covered in black smoke stepped out.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Nameless stood quietly behind Copperfield.

The two guards of the Cavendish Family felt a terrifying oppression.

This oppression didn’t come from the difference in strength.

Instead, it came from the terrifying aura of death that the tall knight in front of them carried.

It stimulated the two people’s purest sense of fear that came from the depths of their souls.

Copperfield waved his hand.

Nameless charged forward.

The heavy armor on his body didn’t seem to affect his ability to move at all.

There weren’t any fancy techniques employed.

It was just a powerful and heavy axe.

The guard who was being targeted by the knight shuddered and instinctively raised the long sword in his hand.

The next moment, the sword broke.

The person had died.
