Chapter 21 - Continuation of Seance

The next day, I began to study the art of seances. First, I read the grimoire of seances. However, since seances were written on the principle of seizing the spirits of death, the question was how to replace them with demons.

"Demons and spirits of death are the same kind of spirits, so why don't we try the same approach for a start?"

That was Crocell's opinion.

"But what about the relic?"

I think we need a relic that has something to do with spirits, like the two-handed sword that Nene used.

"I'm sure that the grimoire 'Goetia' would be a good alternative." "Oh, really ......?" "The Goetia is more than just a grimoire. It also acts as a link between the summoner and the demon."

I see. Originally, a grimoire is only meant to be an instruction manual for learning magic. If you learn the contents of a grimoire perfectly, you won't need a grimoire anymore. However, in the case of the Goetia, the Goetia itself has magic power in it. I didn't realize that it had a role to play in connecting the summoner to the demon.

"So let's replace the relic with the Goetia and perform a seance."

Draw a magic circle for the seance and place the "Goetia" on top of it. The page of Crocell is open.

"I command thee strictly in the name of Norman. I summon thee, and thou shalt dwell in my body quickly. Fill me with your knowledge and power. Thou shalt fulfill all my wishes faithfully within the limits of thy authority. Come--49th, Crocell!"

Instantly, Crocell disappeared from my sight.

" Huh?"

I thought to myself.

"Uh......!"

I felt something strange happen to my body. I remember how painful it was to have a hot foreign object enter my body when I had a part of Aim in my body. It's not the same this time. The pain was hundreds of times more intense than last time.

" Ma... Master! Are you okay?"

When Orobas saw me on my knees, he rushed over to me in a panic.

"Blaargh"

I vomited blood. A lump of blood was spit out of my mouth. My eyes are filled with tears, my hands are sweating, and my legs are cramping.

If this doesn't stop, I'm going to die. ...... As I collapsed on the floor, the thought suddenly crossed my mind.

"Maaasteeeeer! Remember what you did when Aim entered your body, pleeeeease!"

I heard Orobus screaming. Yes, I remember how I overcame that pain when a part of Aim was in my body. I gathered the magic that was scattered all over my body into one spot. At the same time, I closed my eyes and tried to feel the magic.

"Uuh......!"

A huge amount of magic power was flowing through my entire body like a murky stream. Feeling the power of the magic, I feel a kind of nausea again. It's impossible to gather this much magic power in one place!

But if I fail to do so, I will die. I'm not ready to die yet! I’m not ready, because I haven't mastered the magic yet!

I clenched my teeth and tried to control the magic flowing through my body. The moment I lose consciousness is probably the moment I will die. Will my consciousness fall first, or will I be able to control my magic power first? The battle was going on inside my body.

"Masteeeeeeer! Try your best, pleeeease!"
