Chapter 405 - The Bloody Summoning Part 2
[Bonus Kana 1/5]
As Grendal finished speaking, a massive magic circle appeared in the air. The screams of those below could be heard. Only those with high enough power were able to keep the blood inside them from being pulled out. But those who were not could not resist turning themselves into bloodless husks as the blood was drained from their body. This spell that Grendal activated did not care for age. Young and old alike, if they were too weak, the power of the magic circle drained them of their blood.
As for Kana and her family, they stood in their front yard and looked up at the sky that acted as a river of blood flowing up towards the heavens. "It seems our feelings were correct."
"Mm… but for some reason, this magic circle looks familiar." Kana fell into deep thought as she tried to remember where she saw it before. Only after a few minutes did it hit her. "Ahh! Gates Of Hell!"
"Your summoning spell?" Creige asked.
"Yeah, it was when I first summoned Big Sister. I have only ever used it once, and at that time, I summoned Big Sister from it. Our summoning pact was only recently broken due to me entering the city of the dead. But if I am right, then whoever created this spell is an idiot. Anyway, I should go deal with this…" Kana said as she flew up into the air.
"Kana, be careful." Creige sent Kana off with a smile. He was not worried for her safety because he knew she would not put herself in danger anymore now that she had her babies.
"Mm… I will be back. Girls behave for your Handsome Papa." Kana was going out for two reasons. The main reason was that whoever was behind this was probably the same person who tried to get that woman to kidnap her child, and second, she didn't want her Big Sister being summoned to the realm of gods disturbing her work. That is, if this magic circle was strong enough to summon her.
"Bye bye, mama!" "See you soon!" "Be careful, mama!" The three girls yelled out. You could see the worry on their faces.
Kana passed the barrier protecting her property and frowned when she felt her blood rolling in her body. "It is indeed a strong suction."
She looked around to see hundreds of bodies lay in the street, completely drained of blood. But she also saw thousands of blue barriers over people's properties as well. "Well, first, let's cut off the power source, shall we?" Kana waved her hand and imagined a large barrier that surrounded the entire district. Once she had a good image, she spoke softly: "Creation Magic: Rival Barrier!"
A large green barrier spread out just under the bloody red barrier that surrounded the district. Kana created this spell in order to not only negate the effects of the spell that was draining people of their blood but also in the hopes that the healing properties of the barrier would help those husks that still had some life left in them to be revived. Kana watched as thousands of green glowing balls fell from the barrier. Each one flying towards a dried out husk. After a few seconds of the green lights hitting these husks. The bodies that should have been dead were slowly beginning to revive. The dried out skin that was stuck to their bones seemed to have gained new life as they began to inflate. Soon one of the people who had just died slowly stood up and looked around in confusion.
Let out a sigh of relief, Kana turned and flew up towards the ceiling of the barrier, passed through the green barrier she made, and was met with a bloody wall. "Now then… Time to go say hi to whoever made this place. "
Right above the blood barrier, Grendal felt something was wrong and looked at this magic circle that was slowly dimming. "What!? What is going on!?"
"Haha! Grendal, it looks like your plan was foiled before it was even able to do anything!" Hoollon yelled out.
"No! No! This can't be! My plan was flawless!" Grendal stamped his feet in mid air. He couldn't understand how his plan failed!
*Shatter!*
A loud cracking sound could be heard from the barrier. Grendal turned and looked at the figure who had just broken a hole in his barrier and rose up into the sky. He trembled slightly seeing this person. "Th-The Goddess of Death!"
"Are you the one who is causing me such a headache? " Kana asked as she flew over to the huge group of people standing in the air. Her wings flapped slowly as she did.
"Ahhh! It was you! It was you who ruined my plans! Fine! I do not know how strong the summon will be, but it should still be enough to destroy you all!" Grendal's mind was not thinking correctly as he waved his hand, causing the magic circle to glow brightly and begin to spin.
As the magic circle began to slow down, a bloody red ball formed at its center before suddenly popping, revealing a figure standing in the middle of the magic circle. Hoollon and the rest of the high gods, along with Kana and Grendal, all stared at the figure in surprise. It was short, stood on two legs, held its head up high in the sky with a proud aura. It was slightly plump and covered in black and purple feathers. It flapped its wings and opened its mouth and let out the mightiest… "Begawk!"
Kana's mouth began to water as she saw the plump figure in the middle of the magic circle. She could already picture it being roasted over an open fire. "Chicken!"
