Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 458: The Ritual of Summoning Starfall

"Of course I won't give you less in compensation. I can triple the original price." The devil said generously.

"The price doesn't need to change. I want to know how you travel to and from this level of the abyss." Xingluo said lightly.

The demon paused for a moment, and a dangerous aura began to envelop Xingluo. Xingluo was like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize into the sea at any time. Xingluo did not move, and even his aura did not change. Instead, he looked at the other party calmly and said, "I left only to better learn how to make cursed objects. For dark scholars, this is what we are pursuing."

"Give me this cursed object, and I can tell you how to leave, but the prerequisite is that your body can withstand it." The devil spoke slowly, as if he thought Xingluo simply couldn't withstand it.

"Okay, I'll give you this cursed object first. When I leave this plane, I will refine it again according to your requirements." Xingluo said.

The devil stared at Xingluo for a long time before saying, "Okay, come find me when you want to leave."

For demons, their long lifespan determines some of their styles of doing things. They generally don't care much about time. They often wait for years or even decades for something. Compared to humans, the lifespan of demons is comparable to that of dragons. Fortunately, the Divine Flame Crystal did not fall into the abyss, otherwise the abyss would have occupied the main material plane.

The biggest problem with the Divine Flame Crystal is that it consumes vitality. For demons, this is within an acceptable range. It is estimated that after the Divine Flame Crystal is used up, they will still have a lot of life left, and by then the demons will become even more powerful.

Xingluo sighed. He had no idea what this Divine Flame Crystal was, but it actually contained the origin of magic. And was this God's Favored Organization just like the Holy See of Light, unscrupulous in achieving their goals? Xingluo felt that he had too many things to do, but he was far away in the abyss and could not do anything, especially now that he was only a high-level magician. What would happen if he went back? He would just be another cannon fodder.

Xingluo had no plans to leave this level of the abyss immediately. He had just joined the Abyss Society, and this level of the Abyss Society focused on the making of cursed objects. He could get more resources there, read more books, and make some cursed objects in exchange for more resources, and see if there was a way to leave the abyss directly at this level. Although he did not plan to leave immediately before he recovered his strength, it was still necessary for him to master the method of leaving.

Xingluo has no experience in breaking through from a high-level magician to a great magician. He feels that he had made a breakthrough while sleeping before, so he lost some experience and feelings accordingly. He will use this breakthrough to make up for his previous shortcomings.

Just like how Xingluo refined the cursed object, he used the magic amplification mask and scroll to assist him in completing the creation of the cursed object, so he felt that he could use a similar method to help himself break through to the Great Magician.

Xingluo planned to break through to the level of a great magician and then see if he could reach some kind of deal with the high-level demons on this level in exchange for some ways to leave the abyss. He didn't want others to use summoning methods to allow him to go back briefly. Although that was not impossible, after all, he could do it with his mental strength. However, if he summoned a high-level magician, he could only communicate and exchange information at most. His combat effectiveness was seriously insufficient, and it was only temporary. When the summoning ceremony was over, he would still have to return to the abyss.

Xingluo thought about this and felt that this method was not a bad idea. At least he could communicate with the other side. However, he still needed to study the specific method. At present, there was no way to perform this kind of summoning. This method required the other party to know his real name, and according to his mental characteristics, he had to arrange the corresponding magic circle to complete the summoning. In fact, every demon has its ancient heritage, even ordinary demons have it, but the heritage in their blood is too thin, so the strength is not strong. Those high-level demons have many powerful heritages in their blood, and they will slowly become stronger even if they do nothing. Although the fertility of demons is low, their combat effectiveness is indeed good.

A magic circle arranged according to the bloodline and mental characteristics of each demon, combined with the demon's real name, can complete a specific summoning. Of course, some of these summons are the result of countless experiments and research by the wizard, and some are spread by the demons who want to go to the main material plane. After all, some demons don't want to stay in the abyss forever.

Xingluo also learned from the demons, arranging the corresponding summons according to his own mental power and blood power. It would be much easier for him to experiment by himself. After all, he understood his mental power fluctuations and had a lot of blood to experiment with. After several attempts, Xingluo found that as long as he used blood to draw a complex and precise magic array on the ground, this array contained a pentagram, ancient runes and summoning marks. These were the most common summoning arrays, and even a high-level magician could draw them. The central position was reserved for the demon that was about to appear. Of course, this time the summons were his own, and he was not a demon. The ritual also required the lighting of black candles, the burning of specific spices, ambergris and draconian grass, and the placement of certain things that represented him, such as fragments of his clothing, so that he could feel the summons from the main material plane in the abyss.

The spell is also the most critical part of the ritual. The summoner must recite specific spells in an ancient and obscure language. These spells often come from forbidden books or ancient scrolls and require accurate pronunciation and rhythm. Once the spell begins to be chanted, abnormal phenomena may occur in the surrounding environment, such as a sudden drop in temperature, strange sounds, etc. This is the demonic power gradually approaching and affecting the real world, but he only needs to make up a few sentences, or simply use the most common spells. After all, the previous steps have enabled him to sense the summons.

Finally, when the energy reaches its peak, a dark crack will appear in the center of the magic circle, and the summoned demon will slowly walk out of it. This moment is particularly tense, because if it is not properly controlled, the demon may go out of control and pose a fatal threat to everyone present. Therefore, the summoner must concentrate and use strong willpower and control to control the situation and negotiate or reach a deal with the demon. These deals often involve soul exchanges, offering sacrifices, or performing a certain task, but in any case, each summoning is a test and adventure of the summoner's mind and soul limits. However, summoning Xingluo is not so troublesome, after all, he is not a demon who only knows how to kill.
