Chapter 62: Demon Sebastian 4

Ugh!

Kwang Kwang!

In the basement of the mountain range between the Nair river and the plains of northern Rakan.

Dozens of golems and hundreds of monsters were digging hard.

They were building the underground channels according to Luke’s directions.

The stone golems were punching down the hard rocks. The wood golems and the other monsters were using large shovels and sacks to carry the debris out.

‘Huhuhu! The people would probably be surprised if the underground waterway from the river gets dug like this, right?’

Luke was watching from behind and smiled.

He was going to draw the water and then say that he had found groundwater.

There was one reason for the effort and the excuse he was using.

If the water came up suddenly, people would surely think that it was strange.

The best way to spoof them was to show that water from the ground had naturally been found.

‘If I gain more power in the future, I can put the golems to work openly maybe?’

Luke had no plans to do things secretively like he was currently doing.

But since the trust that his retainers had on him was weak, he didn’t want to reveal his strength.

Whatever was the situation, Luke was trying to solve the water problem, which had been the biggest obstacle for the land, he left the golems and the monsters to work and went to the corner of the mountain.

He looked around to see if anyone was around there and then began to draw a series of magic circles on the ground.

‘Since I have some strength, I can start a new practice.’

New practice.

The same kind of practice that he had done in his days as a warlock.

Summon demons, fight demons and take away the powers of the demons.

He decided to start practicing because he had to build up a little more power for the upcoming war.

“I’ll create a magic circle for summoning and then…”

Luke did dark magic using the sword that was dangling on his waist. He squeezed his hand until his blood flowed out of it.

Normally warlocks use beasts or other humans’ blood to perform a summoning, but Luke and the other warlocks who did Darkness didn’t opt for that.

Luke thought that it was morally wrong to sacrifice another being for their own strength.

‘A wizard’s blood has to be there as an offering when summoning. Sufficient spirit needs to be instilled with mana and Magi.’

Demons normally like blood and one’s spirit.

When Luke’s blood dropped on the Demon Summoning Circle, the glimmering light from the circle began to react almost immediately.

Whhooong!

Once the magic circle disappeared, a dark subspace opened. An ugly demon with a thick muscular body and a huge horn protruding from its head was standing there.

“Kukuk, human! What is it that you want? Whatever is it that you want, you need to give me your soul for it!”

The Demon Volk spoke with a lot of pride to Luke who seemed like a warlock.

Normally, the warlocks fall on to the floor trembling. However, the human in front of him was different.

“What do I want, huh? I want the abilities that you have and your Magi.”

“What?”

At that very moment, Volk had a ridiculous look on his face.

What on earth was the man even thinking asking a demon its abilities and Magic when the demon did nothing wrong?

As he was still confused at what he had been asked, Luke began to show his skill.

Flash!

“Kwaaak!”

Luke used lightning magic, and the Demon Volk screamed out of pain.

“This… this warlock would be too cold for me to even eat!”

With anger clearly showing on his face, he hurried over to Luke with arms wide open.
