What are you even wasting so much time on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick’s voice echoed from under the pile, laced with offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat! Don’t you have an ounce of trust in your master?! When I say I can handle something, I can handle it! Just sit back and watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. Do what you want, old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte laughed softly beside him, covering her mouth with her hand as she watched Alex grumble like a scolded child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud shout came from beneath the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is! That’s the one I was looking for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick emerged triumphantly, scroll in hand, eyes gleaming with pride. He unfurled it with the grace of a mad scientist unveiling his next great disaster and began scanning the faded runes and ancient glyphs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s ears perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you find the right one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick nodded slowly, his eyes not leaving the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so. At least... I’m 90 percent sure it’s the right one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the other 10 percent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick’s eyes flicked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... we might accidentally summon a calamity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s breath hitched. She stood up so fast the chair screeched against the floor, and she made a swift move toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grabbed her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where the hell are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte gave him a nervous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just remembered... something important. That needs to be done. Urgently. Somewhere else. You don’t have to mind me. Continue with the summoning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein popped on Alex’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just scared a monster’s gonna pop out and eat you alive, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Preposterous. Didn’t I swear an oath to risk my life for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now’s the perfect time to prove it, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s mouth twitched violently as Alex began dragging her back into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go! I don’t want to die young! And that master of yours looks crazy—a perfect match for you as two crazy people can indeed summon something even more crazy.!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick in the background already started to make the preparations for the summoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte struggled harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear if anything jumps out, I’m throwing you into the summoning circle first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned and whispered, \"Shut it. If a monster does appear, I’ll need a meat shield to act as bait while I escape. You’re perfect for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just say?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex coughed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I meant... I’ll defend you with my life. Just sit back and relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte narrowed her eyes and stared daggers at him, but Alex was already turning away, pretending not to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, turning toward Rick, Alex asked the real question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, are you absolutely sure about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick hesitated a moment too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I’m sure!\" he said with a stiff smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why aren’t you making eye contact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick adjusted his glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have myopia. Can’t see clearly up close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear, if I get turned into a toad, I’m suing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick chuckled and began drawing the summoning circle on the floor, moving with the practiced precision of someone who had done this a hundred times... and maybe messed up fifty of those times. He carved glowing runes around the outer edges and poured strange glowing powder into the grooves. Charlotte watched warily from a corner of the room, arms crossed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, the circle was ready. It pulsed softly with an eerie crimson-blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick stood up, wiping his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it’s ready. Alex, go stand in the center of the circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stepped forward and positioned himself within the glowing ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm yourself,\" Rick said firmly, his tone shifting from eccentric to serious. \"Close your eyes... and pour your mana into the circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded, closed his eyes, and began channeling his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft humming filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes ignited brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lines of light raced through the carved patterns, spiraling inward toward Alex’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte leaned closer, curiosity warring with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the wind picked up inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scrolls scattered across the floor rustled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gritted his teeth as the circle began drawing more mana from him than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... is more intense than I thought.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick watched silently, sweat forming on his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it... steady now... keep it flowing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle erupted in a sudden blaze of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the summoning began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stood at the center of the glowing magic circle, his blood now mixing into the ancient runes carved into the floor. The pulsing light shifted from blue to crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick stepped closer and extended a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex handed it over without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift motion, Rick sliced Alex’s finger with a ceremonial dagger. Blood flowed freely, pulled into the circle by some invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick’s tone turned unusually serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of spirit do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked up, eyes unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one with the highest potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte, who had been watching quietly from the side, narrowed her eyes. Her gaze flickered between the circle, the runes, and the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... isn’t how normal spirit summoning works. Something’s wrong...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could voice her suspicions, her eyelids grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stumbled, trying to speak—but collapsed into unconsciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s ears rang as the system’s voice echoed in his head, tense and alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Host, something is wrong. This magic circle is unleashing enormous amounts of demonic energy. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s heart raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Rick, concern creeping into his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor... what’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick remained silent for a moment, staring at the swirling circle. Then his lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry... but I need to revive my daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice cracked slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t worry... I’ll sacrifice my own life for it. Not yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could move, the dizziness hit him like a hammer. The circle began to surge, a vortex of red and black spinning at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the center of the circle, a figure began to materialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it appeared humanoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Alex noticed the horns—sharp, twisted, and burning with dark energy. The figure’s presence was suffocating, the pressure in the room doubling with each breath it took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick’s eyes shimmered with hope as he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally... I’ve succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only someone with your potential and bloodline could summon a demon of this rank, Alex. I will forever be grateful to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the years I spent mastering rune arts... it’s finally paid off. Now, at last, I have a glimmer of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will bring her back—no matter what it takes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cristine... I’ll revive you no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the academy, alarms began to blare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mages ran through corridors, protective barriers activated, and magical wards flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire campus was alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within the circle, the figure stood fully formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at Rick, face unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... you’re the one who summoned me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick nodded nervously. \"Y-Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t sense anything special from you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why was the future me so afraid of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Rick could respond—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of corrupted darkness erupted from alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swallowed the demonic aura in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from within that abyss, a voice rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarcastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re my summoned spirit or whatever the hell you are, huh? Gotta say... you’re ugly as hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azrael turned sharply, eyes meeting Alex’s as his breath hitched as tremendous pressure hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—who the hell are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s expression didn’t change. His posture relaxed, almost lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t a kind smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of smile that belonged to someone who had faced death...countless times and still survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped to a dead serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? I am your dad ’the devil’ .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein opped on Azrael head as he heard hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes beneath Alex’s feet glowed again—this time reacting to him, not the summoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black aura began to rise around his form, curling like smoke yet humming with suppressed energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azrael narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... So you were the one who summoned me huh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stepped forward, each step making the magic circle quake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah? Well mistake happen sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rick stared in horror as the aura around Alex clashed with the demonic presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte, still unconscious, stirred slightly—her body responding instinctively to the overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azrael frowned deeper, then smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... might actually be interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summoning was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something far more dangerous had been unleashed upon the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how was the Chapter?
