749 Why My Glaive?
This time I had to just use a single word and merge my arms with it to form the ball. As eleven arms got absorbed into this ball, the ball was formed.
In the middle of its formation, the other semi-finished ball boomed in such a violent way again, releasing a gush of energy that hit that ball and then stopped it from completing its process.
“You want me to bring you two together?” After ten minutes of watching and without any new thing happening, I got such a feeling.
Without any delay, I moved two thick arms to move the two balls to draw closer from each other.
Before this, anytime I tried to get my arms close to any ball, it would devour the arms without exception.
But right now an exception happened!
The two balls didn’t devour my thick arms and followed the will of mine, came closer, before finally merging together.
A brighter flash of red light erupted, before my two arms got devoured, announcing that the two balls had already returned to their initial violent form.
It meant the balls merged, and now the final ball was here.
“Damn! It’s damn huge!” The final ball appeared after all the light faded away. It was big, much bigger than the balls that formed it.
Even if the two were merged together, it wouldn’t even give size close to it. I got the feeling that the final ball got tripled in size, meaning this was going to be some hellish technique.
As the ball got completed, it started hovering over the ground by one hundred metre, silently waiting in place for other balls to get formed.
“If I used normal balls, this technique might not be stable,” looking at the size of this huge ball and the size of the next unfinished ball I just formed made me think about this.
Things must be similar in the technique to give the desired results, and above all be stable.
It would be disastrous if this technique ended up crashing because I messed up building the basic units of it, then I got no one to blame but myself.
“Sigh, I have to sell a bit more then,” as I reached this conclusion, I had to make sure I got eleven contracts and not just nine or ten.
I had to go all out this time, and I got one chance just to do it. Failure meant I’d have to wait for a longer time, later time, to retry out again.
In other words… There was no room for failure!
I placed more than enough items for sale and then started to work on the four remaining contracts I had.
I got five balls at the end, each was in a huge size, much bigger than any ball I got before.
Yet each one was smaller than the one before it. “Ok, time to buy the rest then,” doing this took more than one hour, and that was enough for most of the auctions to end.
I got enough to purchase seven more contracts, but I only bought six. Getting one or two more wouldn’t make any difference in the end.
Then I resumed making my balls, without any moment of pause.
“Done!” I looked in satisfaction towards the eleven balls I got formed, and they were hovering in such quiet and silence in front of me.
I knew it just needed to write down my name and it would get done. But before I’d do it, I felt something was missing.
“This technique will be linked to my tattoo, or form a new one, or what?” I hesitated to write my name and finish it.
I felt there was a missing piece, a crucial missing piece here.
“Hmm… This technique is used to summon the monster…” I started to think over the entire process once more, “I will call it out, and get control over calling it back. So… What’s missing here?”
I knew on the surface, it didn’t show any missing things. But my hunch kept warning me from fulfilling this technique now.
“Hmm… The only thing missing is the way this technique would link to me… Should I draw a tattoo then or what?”
[Use your glaive!]
Just when I was lost and didn’t know what to do, the voice of my saviour rang in my head.
“Glaive? Which glaive?” I got three glaives in my inventory, “and why?”
It was weird! Why would I use a glaive when I should think about drawing a tattoo?
[Tattoo isn’t going to do you any good! This monster isn’t just a normal thing. You can summon it, but to control it, you’ll need to exert might and enforce a threatening weapon over it to follow your orders, especially the hardest one]
“Which is?” I got curious and wanted to know.
[To get back, get back into the darkness and quit that confined space inside your tattoo. Whoever tasted such life, and coming out to this universe will always fight and resist with all its might to not get back!]
“…”
For sure this wasn’t something I ever considered before. When I thought about it, it actually made quite a lot of sense actually.
“Ok,” even if it was a dark realm monster, one that was sent here to kill me, I still felt little empathy towards it.
It was confined in such a state that it was worth more than death! If I got the chance, I’d try to make a deal with him.
[Don’t! Even if he is sealed and bound by your techniques, his ability is scary! Never do a deal with him, or else you will get the short end of the stick]
“O… Ok…” Damn! This monster… It was damn scary indeed!
I just missed this trivial point and overlooked it. Out of my sympathy I thought about making a deal with it. But thanks to Sith, he reminded me of its deadly ability.
Being in such a position where my life would be threatened, then that monster should rot inside my space for eternity.
“Why my glaive then?”
