Demon God?

Richard looked at the huge ritual circle that occupied the entire wide hall, and there was a vague guess in his heart. This is the purpose of Rasputin, to summon the great beings recorded in the Book of Demons?

……

Over the next few days, Novich Rasputchin, who had been following his whereabouts, stopped in the hall like his apprentice, and the wizarding leader began to preside over the ceremony. Richard couldn't go anywhere, and the other party didn't plan to go anywhere.

In the process, what surprises is the energy and willpower of the legendary wizard. As we all know, sleep is a necessary physiological activity of human beings, and even if he does not dare to slack off as an apprentice, he still spends five to six hours of rest every night. However, this common sense seemed to have failed in Rasputin, and for seven days, he kept the circle running, never closing his eyes.

Richard had his own guess about this. With the improvement of the fit with the magic net, the powerful professional has gradually opened up the gap between his own body and ordinary people. It is said that high-ranking knights can train their bodies to the point of being stronger than steel, invulnerable, just like the "superman" in fantasy stories on Earth in the past.

Although wizards do not pay attention to the body, they are far more powerful than ordinary people, and Richard believes that this is due to the fact that their brains have been developed and strengthened to some extent under the influence of magic.

Richard didn't know anything about the ritual itself, and he didn't know what stage it had reached, but he knew that it wasn't going well.

For he sensed Raspuchin's anxiety, which intensified day by day. Probably because it was only the two of them who were together, and despite the fact that the other was wearing a mask and could not see the look on his face, the apprentice could still feel the emotional change in the wizarding leader.

The other party didn't seem to intend to hide it, and this anxiety even began to infect Richard.

Even a legendary wizard from above has unsolvable troubles and uneasiness about the future, just like an ordinary apprentice. Richard thought to himself that everyone is the same.

In this magic tower, everyone wants to climb up, and even the wizard leaders who have reached the top will not stop.

Just as a beggar wants food and shelter all the time in order to survive, and a king thinks about the survival of his country, or how to conquer another country, they have different desires and very similar feelings; In the midst of this, only desire is eternal.

In order to pursue greater power, in order to pursue the truth that goes deep into the roots of the world, this ambition will continue to be maintained, passed on from generation to generation, and will never stop-

This is a common trait of the "wizards" group. It's just that the legendary wizards at the top of the pyramid stand at the forefront of the search for power and truth, and their considerations are more macroscopic and colossal.

Rasputin's purpose is precisely the "Demon God". As a legendary wizard in the psychic realm, he can use the most powerful spirit in the world, but it is not enough, he has set his sights on the supreme being in the spirit realm.

……

One day a week later.

The silence in the hall was broken by a knock on the door. Startled, Richard looked up at the tightly closed iron door. No one can come in without permission. He remembered that when Master Peter sent him, he stood at the door and pleaded.

"Lord Rasputchin, this season's fireside meeting is coming up in three days."

The speaker was an old man with a familiar voice, none other than Master Peter.

…… Fireside meeting, always feel a little familiar?

Richard struggled to think about it before he realized what it meant. The term "fireside meeting" sounds ordinary, even heartwarming, but in fact it is the most important gathering in the entire wizarding tower, and can only be attended by members of the highest authority, Steppenwolf, the five legendary wizards. All the major decisions about the Magic Tower were made in this meeting.

For leaders, perhaps only communication with wizards of the same rank is worth caring about...... Richard glanced quietly at the masked man not far away, but Rasputin didn't respond as if he hadn't heard. Master Peter waited for a moment, and when he received no response, he left the door on his own initiative.

Rasputin, who adhered to secrecy, paid little attention to and interfered with the operation of the school, and rarely responded to his subordinates, and Master Peter was clearly accustomed to his own style.

……

Master Peter leaves, and Richard refocuses his attention on translating words and maintaining spells. But at this time, Rasputin took the initiative to speak.

"Abraham, you've already guessed what this circle is for, right?"

Richard was shocked and replied cautiously.

"Are you...... Are you going to use it to communicate with the Demon God? ”

"Hehe, 'communication' alone can't satisfy me."

The wizard leader chuckled lowly.

"This is the first step towards the highest path, my life's pursuit, and I do not allow failure. So no matter who it is, no matter what kind of power it is, I will use it. ”

The apprentice can hear the resolute will of the other person's words, "If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent". He could even feel a hint of madness in it, a fierce paranoia that would do whatever it takes, even if it costs his life. Puzzled by this, he boldly offered to ask questions for the first time.

"But...... You're already at the top of the wizarding world. ”

"yes, you're right."

Rasputin replied lightly.

"I'm at the top. But ......"

The other party clutched the snake staff made of precious stones and gold, as if he wanted to grasp the power and power in his hands.

"Still mortal."

The air in the hall seemed to freeze at this moment.

…… Wait a minute, what does this phrase mean? Do you want to say, "I'm no longer a human being"? Richard didn't dare to continue to inquire, this already involved the other party's deepest secrets. The more you know, the more danger you have, and the lifelong quest of a legendary wizard is beyond the reach of an apprentice

In the worst-case scenario, you might be ...... The clothes on my back were already completely wet with cold sweat. If the other party really wanted to kill people, he would not have the slightest ability to resist, but Richard still had his own guess. Rasputin wanted to establish some kind of connection with the demon god and move towards transcendence above mortals, which was still a huge risk for the legendary wizard.

Everything about the "Demon God" is hidden on the dark side of history, and no one knows how much danger there is in it. At least until the ceremony was over, Rasputin would not allow anything to happen, and he was safe for the time being.
