Chapter 20: Using my talent

If they come for me and I am sure that they will, even if my parents are unwilling, the others would eagerly sacrifice me to either avoid conflict with such big forces or to gain some benefits.

Even if I don\'t reveal the facts, there is a chance that someone can see my status one day. Everyone believed that they had seen every skill out here and they understood much of the world but they were wrong. There is too much out there that they don\'t know or understand.

I am such a case. I can consume the cores of monsters that can\'t be consumed by others. Probably this has to do with my physique, which was never mentioned anywhere. There is a chance that it was classified and restricted to the higher rank awakened.

Then there is my talent, which is Ritualistic Summoning. Except for the introduction, I have no understanding of the talent. If not for that secret and forgotten manual that I found in the library, I wouldn\'t have known how to proceed.

These two are EX-graded which was never mentioned before. Also, the skills I got from slime are EX-graded.

Why are they EX-graded?

Are those skills from the monsters that are unattainable are EX-graded? Is that why they are EX-graded?

Ah, my head hurts, thinking about that. I should deal with them when the time comes. Now I have to deal with my talent.

---

Pushing away all those distracting thoughts, I quickly arranged everything according to the manual that I found about Ritualistic Summonings. There was no mention of what it does. There is a chance that it would summon some powerful and dangerous creature, which could kill me.

So I prepared myself for that. I added some restrictions of my own, which I derived in the past four years. If I wasn\'t satisfied, I wouldn\'t be doing this now. I don\'t have a death wish. Even if the chance of me dying was minuscule, I would still have stopped this from happening.

I already lost one life early and was unable to enjoy it to the fullest, I am not going to lose another life. It\'s not like I have unlimited reincarnations.

I made sure that whatever came through the summoning would be restricted and would be unable to do anything. Even if the creature breaks from the restrictions, I already placed armor around me, and weapon in one hand, and some props in the other hand, which would disrupt or damage the other party.

I am well prepared for whatever happens or at least what I think so. If this fails...no I can\'t have those negative thoughts. In a magical world like this, there is no telling if thoughts can alter things.

Anyway, it\'s time to see what this can do. So I proceed with the Ritual. There was nothing much I needed to do. Take a core in your hands and chant a spell onto it before placing the core at the prescribed position. It was like a start key for an engine to start working.

The materials are fuel, and once it is started, it only stops when the fuel is gone. I have nothing to do after starting the ritual, only have to wait and see what would happen.

I did as it was described.

"Atuva Bi\'raka Sovem Ingi Lors Hir Bost"

I chanted the spell and placed the core as inscribed.

Once I did so, the ritual circles started to light up and as time went on they started to glow brightly, too brightly for my eyes to survive. So I had to close my eyes. Now my other senses are the only way to perceive what is happening around me, which is not as good as my eyes. I should train my other senses soon, or I would lose if I lost sight of the surroundings.

There was no moment, at the time. Except for the circles glowing up brightly, I didn\'t feel anything, but in a second everything changed. The materials that I placed for the ritual were burning at a small pace and started to be consumed at a faster pace, and distortions started to appear in the magic around.

These are telltale signs that something is going to happen and with how these things are going, I have a bad feeling about this.

"Who dares do disturb the sleep of GARUTHAT, the Slumberer?" bellowed the creature in anger. It was not happy to be here at all.

Shit, shit, shit. This isn\'t good. That is a demon. I summoned a demon and by the looks of it, its rank is very high, not just one or two ranks but a lot higher.

What should I do now?

If I leave here now, there is a chance of me escaping but the demon would surely cause havoc once I retreated. There is no guarantee that it won\'t be able to find me later.

If it does what could I do?

At least at the moment, it was restricted. The next time it might not be. I should quickly think of a solution before those restrictions disappear and I am sure that will happen in the next few minutes. The rank of the demon is much higher than I anticipated.

I have never prepared to deal with a creature of this rank. So I should do whatever I can do in the next few minutes or has to make peace with this life.
