Worlds’ Apocalypse Online-Chapter 1803: Summoning ritual!
Chapter 1803: Summoning ritual!Translator: La0o9
Twelve of the most powerful Wraiths were standing in a circle around an altar, their hands continuously shifting from one hand seal to another while murmuring something under their breaths.
After about 5 full minutes.
A radiant red light began to glow on top of the altar.
Seeing that, the Wraith shaman immediately reported: 『 Wraith Lord sir, the time is neigh, the void summoning ritual can now be conducted! 』
The Ruler of the Wraith realm slowly stepped down from his throne and walked up to the altar.
The shaman’s expression was grim: 『 Sir, we are using the most potent summoning power we have, so there’s no telling what will appear, you best be prepared for everything 』
The Wraith realm Ruler answered with clear resolution: 「 That is fine, I’ve already made the preparations, in case something goes wrong, I will be using ‘that’ 」
The shaman appeared to realize what he was implying and said with clear joy: 『 Wraith Lord sir, perhaps you’ve… 』
The Wraith realm Ruler didn’t answer and simply nodded his head.
The shaman’s eyebrows became relaxed, then they raised their voice: 『 Everyone, unleash the full extent of your power for this summoning ritual, call upon the most powerful reinforcement possible for us of the Wraith realm from the Boundless Void! 』
The Wraiths’ hands started moving even faster, similar to the incantations they were chanting.
The red glow above the altar gradually became solidified, manifesting into mystical summoning runes.
Invisible fluctuations started to emanate.
These fluctuations completely bypassed the limits of Space-Time and instantly traversed the Boundless Void to reach an unknown location.
After a few moments.
A thin strand of red string began to descend from above and hovered motionlessly above the altar.
The string was radiating an almost smoky red glow.
Observing that, the Wraith realm Ruler swiftly stepped forward and uttered with a resounding tone: 「 Come, the one who summoned you was I! 」
The red string immediately expanded and manifested into a crimson gate of light.
Uuuoooo——-
The gates slowly swung open.
Scorching molten lava surged forward from inside the gates, intensely increasing the temperature around them.
A figure could be seen on the other side of the gates.
「 What… is this place? 」
The figure questioned.
The Wraith realm Ruler answered: 「 This place is one of the six realms of the Samsara, the Wraith realm 」
「 The Samsara? Very well, that truly is a bit interesting 」
After stating that, the figure finally stepped through the gates.
The crimson gates of light instantly vanished.
The summoning ritual was successful!
The figure was now standing on top of the altar, their form was finally revealed———
It was a man with a strict and solemn expression on his face.
He was wearing a set of relatively crude rock armor with flowing magma on top of it, behind which existed a physique composed of layers of flames.
“Huh?”
Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise.
Not too long ago, Barry and I ran into an insane Envoy of the War Sequence near the vicinity of the tomb river that was called Fierceness.
——looks like this was him!
It turns out this War Sequence Envoy had already arrived in the Samsara an extremely long time ago.
「 I am Fierceness of the War Sequence, that you have managed to summon me here is your honor 」
Fierceness’ voice resounded throughout the entire structure.
The Wraith realm Ruler nodded and said: 「 It will be the decisive battle between us and the Apocalypse Sequence tomorrow, I request that you face the battle together with us 」
Fierceness then displayed a cruel grin and said: 「 I think you’re misunderstanding something 」
「 What’s that? 」the Wraith realm Ruler asked.
Fierceness angrily roared: 「 I am the leader of the War Sequence, an entity whose power vastly surpasses even your understanding. Do you really think you can order me around? 」
He raised his hand and then pushed it downwards.
Kruu kruu kuuu kuu kuu———-
A loud grinding noise crackled around them, causing all the relatively weaker Wraiths to be pressed into the ground, unable to move a finger.
Only the most powerful Wraiths who followed the Wraith realm Ruler still managed to stand.
「 So you wish to fight us to the death? 」the Wraith realm Ruler sternly questioned.
Fierceness smirked boastfully and sly stated: 「 Your strength is decent, but you have to fight a battle with the Apocalypse tomorrow, so I assume you all don’t have the will to fight a real battle against me right here and now——- 」
The Wraith realm Ruler grunted: 「 If you don’t wish to aid us, then why answer the summon? Are you here only to cause trouble? 」
「 Cause trouble? No, no, no, do I seem like such a boring person to you? 」
Fierceness wiggled his finger dismissively while displaying a look of pondering.
He then calmly continued:
「 Everyone says that there are many unique treasures within the Samsara—— so bring all of them here, I’ll pick a few of them to take with me and I won’t ruin your pre-battle preparations, otherwise, I’ll kill all of your weak members 」
The Wraith realm Ruler was shocked, and so were the other Wraiths.
Gu Qing Shan was silently observing this from the sidelines and thought to himself: “Taking advantage of the situation, he’s trying to thoroughly extort them…”
Fierceness’ face was now plastered with a boastful grin as he crossed his arms: 「 Rather than leaving me here to wreck the place, it’s better for you to just give me something good and send me off——- remember, don’t try to fool me with some cheap crap! 」
His last statement was a near-blatant threat.
The Wraith realm Ruler stared straight at Fierceness with surfacing killing intent.
Behind him, the shaman reminded him in a low voice: 『 Sir… we can’t afford casualties… 』
「 I know 」
The Wraith realm Ruler replied with a solemn tone.
He took out a talisman and grunted: 「 Allied friends, come to my aid 」
The talisman flew out and transformed into a bright glowing rune.
At the very next moment, seven people – both men and women – appeared from the sky and landed next to the Wraith realm Ruler.
These people were dressed in a very peculiar way that drew one’s eyes.
They were all wearing black snapback caps, black sunglasses, medical face masks that covered their mouths, black street clothes, and black gloves, thoroughly covering them from head to toe.
——it was impossible to tell what they actually looked like, nor who they were.
“What’s the situation?”
One of the men asked tiredly.
The Wraith realm Ruler explained the situation.
The man immediately jumped from shock and slapped the Wraith realm Ruler, scolding him:
“You blind dolt, do you not know how strong a Sequence Envoy is? Somebody tell him”
Another person among the group walked up and spoke with a female voice: “Those chosen by a Sequence to be its Envoy are none other than the absolute strongest within that Sequence, each of them having earned a unique Title and possessing strength to rival even the scarce Creator Entities within the Boundless Void. Even if you fought him with everything you have, the only outcome would be mutually assured destruction”
The woman chuckled and continued: “It’s useless even if you call us in this situation, it’s best to know where you stand and just give him what he wants”
The Wraith realm Ruler looked at the woman, then at the War Sequence Envoy with an unwilling expression.
“Alright, we’ll accompany him to choose the treasures to prevent him from destroying your world, that’s the best we can do” the woman explained.
Gu Qing Shan continued to silently watch this from the sidelines.
He had a strange expression on his face.
——this woman’s voice, Gu Qing Shan still remembered it.
Back in Void City.
When I was confronted by the Wraith called You Tian Gui, they teleported me to an unfamiliar world in an attempt to kill me.
In the end, I summoned a group of dragons.
After that situation was resolved, a silver dragon came to the bar to explain what would happen next and told me to be careful.
—–It was this woman who did that!
In other words—-
Gu Qing Shan looked back at the group of men and women wearing caps, sunglasses, face masks, and black street clothes.
Yup.
Although they’re trying to hide their identities as best as possible, since I’m a dragon, I can sense the power they emanate without trouble.
—–all of them are dragons!
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the War Sequence Envoy.
——the War Sequence Envoy called Fierceness had already been politely invited off the altar by the dragons, then led into the treasure vault in the back.
“Take your time, your excellency”
“Whoa, I can sense immense power from your excellency, how admirable!”
“Follow me, your excellency, the Wraith race has quite a few forbidden treasures, I’ll introduce them to you one by one”
“Then I’ll show you the treasures that involve money and wealth, they don’t know much about those”
The dragons said one after another.
Fierceness continued to keep up his guard, but his tone was considerably more delighted:
「 Hm, I can see that you bunch know your way around, at least a lot more than that idiot over there 」
He followed the seven dragons into the back area.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze continued to follow them.
Lines of bloody red text was swiftly scrolling across the void of space in front of him:
[The Frost Dragon has unleashed the Shadow Frost Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Lapis Dragon has unleashed the Shadow Blue Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Illusion Demon Dragon has unleashed the Shadow Purple Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Holy Light Dragon has unleashed the Shadow White Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Demon Flame Dragon has unleashed the Shadow Azure Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Silver Dragon has unleashed the Shadow Golden Dragon Origin Hex]
[The Lightning Dragon has unleashed…]
[…]
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Now he understood why Fierceness went insane.
Time slowly passed.
Initially, the sound of lively talking and narration could still be heard from the back.
But then it slowly faded.
Into absolute silence.
A few more moments after that.
The seven dragons walked back out from the back and stood to face the Wraith realm Ruler.
“You won’t take a single slap to heart, would you?” the silver dragon woman asked.
「 Thank you for your aid 」the Wraith realm Ruler respectfully answered.
The silver dragon woman sighed, then patted his shoulder: “That’s right, we manipulate behind the scenes, trip people up, hit below the belt, shout insults and abuse before killing people, but everything we do is to protect our allies, isn’t it?”
「 That is how it should be 」the Wraith realm Ruler lowered his head.
“If there’s nothing else, we’re leaving” the Frost dragon lazily said.
「 Please wait a moment, this humble one still needs your help 」the Wraith realm Ruler said.
“I recall us telling you very clearly in the past. You consecrate us and we’ll protect you, but we will absolutely never interfere with the Samsara’s matters” the silver dragon woman cautiously said.
「 You misunderstand—— I only wish to conduct a true summoning ritual to find us an ally for tomorrow’s decisive battle 」the Wraith realm Ruler explained.
“You wish for us to stand as your support from the sidelines?” the silver dragon asked.
「 Yes, I’m worried that I would be put under unfortunate circumstances like earlier again 」the Wraith realm Ruler said with zero reserve.
The dragons exchanged glances.
“Very well, your usual consecration is indeed very thoughtful, catering to each of us—— conduct your summoning ritual, we will oversee it” the silver dragon woman said.
「 Thank you! 」
The Wraith realm Ruler was ecstatic.
