nThe next day.

nThe dawn light shone from the broken window and lit a good part of the warehouse.

nLin Sheng carefully placed his bag down. He had not done anything yesterday and only focused on memorizing the details of the summoning ritual.

nAfter counter checking a few times, he was finally sure he had perfectly memorized the matrix diagram.

nAs soon as the dream ended, Lin Sheng went to school to ask for a day off before preparing the rest of the materials. He then went straight to the abandoned factory where he had performed his previous rituals.

n

n

nThe factory warehouse had become his permanent ritual spot.

nHe had placed his crows around the area to monitor the perimeter.

nAnd as usual, Lin Sheng pulled out a plastic sheet from his bag and lay it on the ground.

nHe then took out the ritual mixture and lit up the pork fat candle.

nAt the center of the matrix, he put up a flat pan before pouring pure water and all other ingredients into it.

nLin Sheng then got out to find some dried wood to use as firewood.

nHe then poured some petrol on it, and…

n

n

n*Poof.*

nThe light lit up on the thinnest of the wood as they lit up one by one.

nAnd soon, a decent-sized fire lit up underneath the pan.

nLin Sheng had purposely cut a hole in the plastic sheet for ease of the ritual.

nAs the firewood lit up, he then placed part of the ritual mixture onto the fixed positions on the matrix before throwing another part into the pan to boil it.

nThe pig fat candle too exuded an aroma that whetted his appetite.

nLin Sheng followed the diagram as he prepared and put everything in place.

n

n

nAfter simmering in the pan for about half an hour, he started using the gooey broth to finish up the remaining symbols on the matrix.

nThe ‘Elementary Summoning of Otherworlders’ ritual was rather complicated, more so than the ones that Lin Sheng had performed before.

nHe then took another half an hour to complete the matrix, before taking another twenty to countercheck.

nUntil he was sure that everything was as what was in his book did he took a step back and stood before the ritual matrix.

n“Should be fine now.”

nLin Sheng calmed himself down.

n“Ten minutes, the matrix is only effective for ten minutes. If I cannot complete the summoning within that time, the ritual will fail completely, and everything is wasted.”

n

n

nLin Sheng took a deep breath.

nThis was the first time he had got in touch with a ritual that could summon a physical entity.

nThe earlier rituals, be it the Ritual of Sacrifice, or the Beckoning Ritual, was a matrix based on the mind and soul.

nBut this was different.

nHe was about to summon and tether a totally unknown otherworld existence into the plane he is in, and to serve him.

nAfter settling his mind, Lin Sheng started chanting a clear, but bizarre syllables.

nThe syllables were meaningless, and was created to work with the matrix diagram.

nIt was an activator, but also a regulator to ensure stability and balance.

n

n

nA dream-like murmur came out from Lin Sheng’s mouth. The voice was getting stronger and louder as it shook the pan in the middle of the matrix till ripples started appearing.

nThe ripples were soon getting more and more pronounced.

nAnd slowly a green mist appeared on the top of the pig fat oil.

n*Hiss…*

nAnd suddenly, a huge amount of steam shot up from the pan.

nCountless of steam whirled around Lin Sheng. A sensation akin to entering the dream made Lin Sheng subconsciously closed his eyes.

nIn his sight, which should have been pitch black, two light orbs appeared before him, one big one small.

nOne of the orb was red, and another white.

nThe red orb was about the size of an egg, while the white one was the size of a soccer ball.

n“It has begun!” Lin Sheng did not panic. He understood that he had successfully entered the summoning process created by the matrix.

nAnd the two light orbs before him was the two beings that he could summon. What surprised him was that, originally, after activating the ritual, he would need to seek out the rift himself, and within that ten minutes, to bring a being that he likes back from the rift and bind it to him.

nBut just as he had entered this stage, two light orbs had appeared right in front of him without needing him to look for it.

n“The ritual matrix, or rather than occult is more like a fixed program created using some mysterious powers. But not sure why I was presented this two beings to summon without needing to look for them. Well, that works too, save me time and effort.”

nLin Sheng then frowned as he hesitated.

n“Since they would appear before me, that means I should be able to withstand the monster’s requirement and drain, and the book said, the larger the orb, the stronger the being is.

nAnd without any more hesitation, he looked at the larger white orb.

nAs soon as he consciously approached it, a furious roar exploded in his mind.

nCountless of white lights blew up before Lin Sheng’s eyes as if he had been thrown into a storm of flashbangs.

nA pause later, a surge of images, memories and voices came out of Lin Sheng’s mind and entered the white orb before him.

nWhat he did not expect was the images, memories and voices resonated with the white orb.

nAnd an even more blinding light exploded before him.

n“I shall give everything to God.”

nAmid the daze, a massive giant in white plate armor knelt piously on the ground towards the ornate divine statue to pray.

n“Gods do not exist! Only the will in our hearts is eternal!”

nA voice came from the back of the giant.

n“No, I believe God do exist.” The giant said calmly.

n“Just because of Ancellia’s jest?” The voice sounded full of disappointment.

n“But she saw a divine miracle!” The giant rumbled.

n“That is fake, Harsenna.”

n“Even if it just a shred of hope, I will persist!” the giant rumbled again as he stood up.

n“When everything is dragged into the dream, you will be the same as the rest of the Sacred Shield Tyrants. A mere wandering husk.” The voice behind the giant continued, as if it was stating the truth.

n“Then I will kill all of them.” The giant’s voice turned chilly. “I will bear all of their wills and live until the end, to see the final hope!”

nThe voice behind him spoke no more.

n*Hiss…*

nLin Sheng was suddenly yanked out of the memory and the white orb in the darkness before him had totally disappeared.

nAnd it is place, was the white armored warrior he had encountered in Snowgale Fortress. The Sacred Shield Tyrant.

n“This… actually… !?” Lin Sheng never thought that the light orb that he had chosen, was the Sacred Shield Tyrant in the Snowgale Fortress!?

nHe could feel that there were countless of black lines coming out of his body and entering the body of the Sacred Shield Tyrant.

nThis was probably the memory fragments he had absorbed from the tyrant.

nThe latter’s three meter tall, and powerful body floated in the darkness of his sight like a shell that was being filled in by the black lines.

nIt was probably took a minute, or maybe five minutes.

nLin Sheng could feel that all of the memories he had about the Sacred Shield Tyrant was being replicated into the body before him.

nHe could make contact with the latter’s mind, and the latter was like machine bereft of any emotions, consciousness and personality. It would only act on its orders.

nHe suddenly opened his eyes.

nBefore him, a massive three meter tall warrior in white armor stood silently on the ritual matrix.
