Chapter 414 Sareth’s Summoning Formation

Sareth sat down cross-legged not far from the tree, looked up at the strange little fruit on the branch, and began calculating.

Foster Father said that the most important things to summon demons are the coordinates and then the offerings! Sareth recalled Roy’s explanations. In high-magic worlds, the magic formations used to summon demons provide the coordinates, and the repulsive force of high-magic worlds is weaker, so even if the offerings aren’t good enough, or even without offerings, you can attract demons and summon them. This is because demons don’t need to pay too much when passing through to these worlds.

But it’s different for low-magic worlds. In addition to the coordinates, there must be enough offerings because you have to use offerings to offset the world repulsive effect. The offerings are actually not for the demons you want to summon but rather for the world repulsive effect. Therefore, you usually use the creatures of the native worlds as offerings because these native creatures have the corresponding rules of the world in them. By gathering them, you can weaken and offset the repulsive effect, allowing demons to descend.

The stronger the demon, the stronger the repulsive effect required to be offset. Naturally, more and better offerings are needed… The scythe that Foster Father gave me can use his plague power, making it convenient for me to obtain offerings. But with this fruit now, I might not need to do it myself… Sareth stared at the fruit and pondered. This is the fruit produced by the Qliphoth. This tree has sucked human blood, so it has naturally absorbed a portion of their soul power. It’s a natural offering, but this bit of power is probably not enough to summon Foster Father. I guess I’ll have to wait until it’s almost ripe…

It’s just a little strange… Sareth scratched his head and looked around. That demon lord should be the one growing this Qliphoth, and his goal should be this fruit, but… why didn’t he send someone to guard it?

This was what Sareth felt the strangest. The top of the tree was completely empty, and he could not see any demons at all. Sareth was wondering if he had guessed wrongly. Does that demon lord not take this fruit to heart?

How would he know that it was not that he had guessed wrongly, but that he had barged in accidentally!

Urizen had set up an enormous barrier around the tree crown where the fruit was. And in order to prevent other demons from coveting the fruit, he even forbade any demons from approaching or appearing near the tree crown. He himself sat in the tree and commanded the demons to attack everywhere to collect ‘nutrients’ for the tree.

Urizen was very assured about the barrier he had set up, but he did not expect Sareth to break in.

In fact, the thing that Sareth had hit earlier was the barrier. It was just that he had never encountered one before, so he did not understand it at all. Especially the moment he passed through, this sensation of the barrier only lasted for a moment before disappearing, causing him to not think too much about it.

And the reason why he could pass through the barrier without hindrance was because of the Demon Bible stele on his back…

What exactly was the Demon Bible? It was actually a little difficult to describe because what really worked was not the stele carrying the inscription but the demon characters on it! The demon language and characters were very unique symbols that could communicate with mysterious powers. Different characters and different combinations had different effects. It could even be said that it was thanks to demon characters that demons could use all kinds of magic.

According to the contents recorded on the steles, the first living beings created by the Creator were angels and then demons. Just as the angels claimed to be the ‘eldest children of God’, demons were considered the ‘second children of God’. Angels and demons were actually the oldest living beings in the Infinite Worlds. As for titans, elves, humans, and other races, they gradually appeared later and were not as old as angels and demons. Precisely because of this, it could be said that any magic power used in the Infinite Worlds today came from the two races of angels and demons, unlike the legends of certain worlds that said they came from elves… The war between angels and demons had always been known as the ‘Eternal War’, and it had lasted for countless years. They fought back and forth in the Infinite Worlds and naturally caused the mysticism of magic to spread to the Infinite Worlds.

The language and writing of demons were things that were continuously passed down in bloodlines and memories. But not every demon could fully understand the mysterious power contained in the language and writing. Although the Demon Bible scriptures engraved on the steles recorded the history from ancient times, the combination of these characters formed a wonderful effect.

This effect was the world repulsive effect! Roy had used the first Demon Bible inscription that he obtained as the expulsion incantation. After getting more steles, he discovered that the power of each stele was all somewhat similar to the world repulsive effect. This made him realize that he might be able to use the unique power on these steles to solve the problem of the repulsion he encountered when traveling through the Infinite Worlds.

Clearly, low-level demons did not need these steles because, no matter if it was a low-magic world or a high-magic world, the repulsion on them would not be too great. But when it came to high-rank demons, demon lords, or even demon kings, it was entirely different. Roy was not the only one facing this repulsion. Similarly, Roy was not the only demon lord who had discovered the effect of these Demon Bible steles. This was also why the following Demon Bible steles that Roy obtained and wanted were all in the hands of some demon lords.

Sparda was the owner of this Demon Bible stele. But as mentioned earlier, the steles were not important. What was important was the demon characters on them. This was why Sparda hid the stele but did not use any other protective measures.

Due to the different chapters on the steles, the demon characters on them were naturally different. In addition to the world repulsive effect, this stele seemed to have a slight ability to break the spatial effect. This power might not be much in the hands of demon lords because they basically grasped space magic, so this ability of the stele might not be of much use.

But the issue was that Sareth was not a demon lord. If he had not appeared above the tree with this stele on his back, the barrier would have likely blocked him. But coincidentally, he came with this stone tablet, causing a little fellow who could only be regarded as a middle-rank demon to break into the spatial barrier set up by a demon lord…

Sareth was the only one on the top of this massive, empty tree, but because he had too little knowledge, he did not understand how special his current situation was. Instead, he thought that it might be that the demon lord did not value this fruit.
