Chapter 14: Tug-of-war
On the twelfth day of coming to the Summoner's Island, Xing Tianyu came to say goodbye to the elders.
"Guys, I'm leaving." Xing Tianyu said to the elders who were still in the meeting.
Aurora said, "Aren't you going to summon the Nightmare King with us?" You know, this is your chance to get revenge. β
Xing Tianyu shook his head, "I don't have this interest, and I have more important things to do." β
Seeing Xing Tianyu say this, a few elders were not good at saying anything, although they really wanted to keep Xing Tianyu, after all, this is a Spirit Venerable, but this kind of thing can't be said, we can't say that we are afraid that the Nightmare King wants to ask you for help, a group of old guys said this to an alternate elder, what a shame.
In addition, several people are more or less confident in their respective strengths, so they didn't say anything more.
Seeing Xing Tianyu's departing figure, several elders withdrew their gazes.
"Don't worry, we can deal with the Nightmare King without the Shadow, we all know through the experience of the Shadow before, although the Nightmare King is extremely powerful in the Nightmare Universe, but in the real world, it is obviously only able to possess and fight with those puppets, although its spiritual energy is strong, but it is limited by the load capacity of the body of the puppet it possesses, and it can't exert too much power, so we can definitely deal with it.
So that's it, and we'll begin the summoning tomorrow. Zeus summed up the meeting, "This summoning is very important, although I have great confidence in you, but it is still not to be taken lightly, I ask that all of you be present tomorrow, and show the best of your ability." β
The elders each nodded.
The next day, the Council of Elders left the Summoner's Island and arrived at their predetermined summoning location.
It was a huge, empty, dark, silent underground cavern, with a high top hidden in the deep darkness, barely visible to the top. The walls of the surrounding caves were also hidden in the darkness. In the center of the cave, there stood a dozen burning torches, surrounding the city in a circle, but the dim light only illuminated a small area in the center of the cave, and a few figures in white robes in the firelight.
Several figures stood there softly, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from far and near, and everyone fled to see a tall black figure slowly walking out of the darkness.
Odin frowned and looked around, "I still don't understand why we came to this ghost place to summon. β
Zeus glared at him, "Isn't that obvious?" We can't summon the Nightmare King on the Summoner's Island, it's neither proper nor safe. At least for the average person, it's not safe. In the event of a fight, I'm pretty sure I can deal with the Nightmare King, but I don't want to destroy where we live. β
"But can't we find an open place? It has to be in this dark cave. "Odin obviously doesn't like this kind of dark place.
"Don't be verbose, we don't want people to find out about the existence of the summoner so quickly, now that satellite technology is too advanced, it wouldn't be a good thing if we were disturbed during the summoning ceremony, but it's different here, it's isolated from the world, it's thousands of meters away from the ground, and no matter what happens, it won't spread to the outside." It was the Feathered Serpent who said this, and the cave was the one she had discovered.
Zeus also nodded, "If everyone is here, let's start." Zeus said, glancing at the surrounding darkness, his eyes were like lightning, and he could clearly see that in the surrounding darkness, there were several summoners in black robes, they were the ones who signed up for the Sky Fire Operation, although it was said before, the Sky Fire Operation was not rewarded, but as the so-called near the water was the first to get the moon, once the action was successful, the participants were naturally the most hopeful way to improve their spiritual energy, so there were still people who signed up.
Of course, Zeus didn't plan to rely on these guys to deal with the Nightmare King, they only existed to help and prevent anyone from breaking in.
"Elders, I'm still a little uneasy about this summoning, and I have some bad premonitions. The Nightmare King has lived for so long, there must be something special about him, and perhaps we should think about it in the long run. The witch doctor suddenly said with some concern at this time, but the others didn't pay much attention to it, the witch doctor's personality was always unpredictable, so few people took his words seriously.
Anubis said, "What are you afraid of, don't forget that there are seven of us here, with the combined efforts of the seven of us, what is there to be afraid of, even if it is an otherworldly god, it can be hung up and fought, if you are worried, then summon your retinue first." β
The witch doctor nodded, took out a jar from his pocket, and opened it, only to see a toad floating out of it. The toad swelled like a balloon, instantly becoming more than ten meters long, and then he concocted the same method, summoning a giant snake more than twenty meters long, and a spider the size of a truck. These giant creatures, obviously mutated, look very hideous. The others, however, were unremarkable, as if they were looking at a group of pets.
"Hey, I haven't seen you toad for a few months, and you've gained a lot of weight." Odin went up and slapped the toad on the body, but the toad shrank back in fear.
"Maybe we should be ready too." Anubis said.
"Whatever you want." Odin shook his head, he held out a hand, and a ball of lightning jumped in his hand, "I'm ready at any time." β
However, now that the witch doctor has started, everyone will no longer hesitate, Anubis summoned a huge sand monster (a huge humanoid monster composed of yellow sand and air currents that is more than ten meters high), Zeus summoned four golden warriors wearing golden armor with wings behind their backs, they are magic puppets made of otherworldly metal, not only extremely hard but also extremely resistant to all kinds of magic, Zhu Rong summoned a fire djinn.
The appearance of these monsters immediately surrounded the surrounding space, and it looked amazing, of course, although these monsters seem to be hideous, but for the seven people, they are just a group of cannon fodder, and they really rely on their own powerful psionic energy, magic, and ability.
"Can you summon now?" Zeus said impatiently.
Aurora nodded, and took out the spell they had designed and modified over and over again, this spell was specially designed to summon the Nightmare King.
[An ancient being from the world of Elandor]
[Ancient Relic, King of Dreams, Dream Eater in the Survival and Center of the Earth]
[I call to you in the name of revenge, I will hunt you in the name of humanity, and I will call on you in the name of summoner]
[In the name of the 10,000-year-old feud between you and my clan]
"I command you to appear before us and others]
This spell was a forcible summoning spell, and the reason why they used the forcible summoning spell was that they did not expect to be able to lure and deceive a Sakadum, and secondly, they were confident in their respective strengths.
The so-called powerful summoning spell is to forcibly establish a connection with a target, and then forcibly drag the other party to your side, to use such a summoning technique, you must have far more spiritual power than the other party.
At this time, the powerful spiritual energy in the seven people's bodies was all injected into the huge spiritual power vortex, and they used the most powerful summoning magic circle, and the vortex formed was like a crazy suction channel, theoretically even if it was a god from another world, it could be forcibly dragged to it.
However, although the vortex was formed, nothing was summoned, but a voice rang out from the vortex.
"Who's calling me?" The voice pierced through the distant time and space, but it was extremely clear, and there was obviously a playful and mocking tone in the voice.
Several people looked at each other, and despite being so experienced in summoning, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"Are you the Nightmare King?" Aurora asked tentatively.
"Nonsense, who else can match your spell but me, I'm curious to see who is so bold as to dare to summon me." The voice continued to come out of the whirlpool.
Several people looked at each other, and Zhu Rong said, "We summoned you to chat with you, you come over first." β
"Fart, are you a fool for me? Tell me first, what's the matter with me? β
Aurora said in an unusually gentle voice, "Mr. Nightmare King, we would like to ask you something. β
"Oh, I wonder what you want to consult?"
Aurora's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Are you a Sakadum?" β
"Hmph, it seems that you know a lot about asking such a question, but it is not so easy for you to find me, do you think I do not know what you vile human beings have done to my people? I have to say, you are even more stupid than I thought, and if you dare to call me by name, you dare to force the summoning of me, a Sakadum! β
"Don't talk nonsense with him, this guy won't accept the call, let's use the forced summon."
There are usually two kinds of summoning, one is to use various lies and sacrifices to induce the summoned subject to accept the summon, but if the summoned object refuses, then you can use the forced summoning method, of course, doing so requires strong psionic energy and a small risk.
Ordinary summoning only requires opening a door to entice the other party to walk in through the door, while forced summoning is like throwing a rope over it, wrapping it around the other party, and forcibly dragging the other party over.
However, the seven people believed that the spiritual energy was strong, but they didn't think there would be anything wrong, and at the signal of Zeus, several people increased the output of spiritual energy at the same time, and the seven powerful spiritual energy condensed together and extended to the creature on the other side of the passage.
"In the name of I, Zeus and the Presbyterian Church of Summoners, Lord of NightmaresβI command you to appear before us."
But the vortex didn't move.
Zeus shouted again, "In the name of I, Zeus and the Presbyterian Council of Summoners, I command you to appear before us!" β
However, the other side still did not move, and their powerful psionic dragging was as if the truck wanted to drag a mountain, and there was no response.
"In my name Zeus and the Presbyterian Church of Summoners, I command you to ββ!"
"That's enough, I won't listen to your orders. Is this what you're capable of? What a disappointment to me, to be so ridiculous in your attempt to forcibly summon me, you stupid human summoners, who have lurked in this bottomless abyss for so long, now let you see the summoning art of the Sakadomes! β
A strange and inexplicable voice suddenly sounded, and several people knew the Sakadum script, but they couldn't understand the meaning of the text.
"Damn, why can't I hear what it's saying? Is it the sakadom script? Zeus asked.
"It should be some kind of high-level spell, damn it, this ritual must be interrupted quickly." The witch doctor shouted that he wanted to unconnect the psionic energy alone, but the ritual was initiated by seven people, and he couldn't break it alone.
While the others were still hesitating, Zeus was the first to make a decision, "Break the connection!" "But it was too late.
The strange and inexplicable voice suddenly disappeared, and then a spell came - "In the name of my Therran-Eloska, I command you lowly human beings to appear before me!" β
As the voice sounded, the spiritual energy vortex suddenly reversed wildly, and the original outward pull slowly turned into a powerful suction.
At this moment, everyone's faces changed.
"Damn! He wants to drag us through! Aurora shouted.
"Nonsense, do you think we can't see it yet!" Zhu Rong shouted, frantically outputting spiritual energy, trying to save the situation.
"It can't be! With the strength of the seven of us, no one can ... Zeus said in disbelief, "It's impossible." β
Aurora was equally incredulous, "I've never heard of anything like it when it reverses the summoning spell!" β
"It's the Sakadum, the race that invented summoning, you name it! Damn, I knew there was going to be a problem with this. The witch doctor said with a sad face.
The summoners around who were in charge of standing guard also saw that something was wrong.
"Elder, what are we going to do?"
"Don't come here! Stay away from us! Odin shouted, and several people frantically output spiritual power, holding on to the opposing forces, consuming each other's strength like a tug-of-war.
This battle lasted for more than ten seconds, and the huge suction finally made several elders exhaust their strength, and the huge vortex absorbed them and their pets and summoned servants one after another, and the summoners who stood guard wanted to escape, but they were also pulled by the huge suction of the vortex, and they flew towards the vortex involuntarily, this power lasted for dozens of seconds, until the last thing also disappeared into the spiritual vortex. The vortex vanished suddenly, and there was silence all around, as if nothing had happened.
