Chapter 656 (2/2)

Fresh blood dropped on the floor and Hao Ren looked at the summon circle before him. The crooked five pointed star did not stir. “Seems like it failed. It was a whole load of nonsense I tell you.”

Lily showed her fingers as she retorted. “That’s because my skin regenerated before a drop even left the wound!”

Everyone present was stunned as Hao Ren spoke under his breath. Her werewolf constitution actually showed its prowess now!

“Lets try again!” Lily excitedly wagged her tail. “I’ll bite harder!”

Hao Ren went along as they tried again, and it was only to proof that the husky had no control of her regenerative ability. As she bit her finger tip, and before she could pull her fangs out, the wound had sealed itself. This situation left everyone in tickles. Even Nangong Wuyue couldn’t help but take a jab. “Looks like you’ll also face problems in performing a blood pact with someone.”

Lily stared stupidly at her finger before clenching her teeth and turning back to run into the house to get a straw. “Lets try again Mr Landlord! I’ll stick a straw in once I bite, I don’t believe it’ll keep regenerating!”

Cold sweat immediately appeared on Hao Ren’s forehead as he pushed the crazy husky aside asking for volunteers. “Anyone wanna take her place? Or else this husky will stick a straw in her.”

Nangong Sanba looked about before stepping forward with some self-awareness. “Seems like it’s only me then.”

The half-baked demon hunter’s regenerative abilities was not as overpowered as the werewolf and the summoning ritual’s last step was completed. Yet, when the third drop of blood hit the floor, the summoning circle still did not stir. There were no magical aura around, nor any supernatural phenomenon occuring that they could see. And of course. Vivian was still at home.

“Didn’t work?” Lily flipped the grimoire about. “There’s magic in it. It shouldn’t be fake. I heard from Battie that sorcerers back then, as unreliable as they were, will not inscribe a useless spell in a book. Their grimoires were their legacy.”

Y’zaks crossed his arms as he shook his head. “If you were to draw the four other points of the star properly it should probably work… they are all wavy. You think a magical circle can be drawn at whim?”

“Is it because that the ritual requires human blood?” Lily was still studying the girimoire, refusing to believe it was her crooked summoning circle being the cause of failure. “Lets get humans to try this out?”

Hao Ren looked about before something dawned upon him. There was no humans around him!

His place was a veritable zoo of otherworldlings…

“This…” Hao Ren shook his head. “We have everything here but humans.”

“Then forget it.” Lily looked down dejectedly as she passed the grimoire to Hao Ren. “Maybe try this again when we somehow manage to get two packets of human blood from the hospital.”

Hao Ren felt that none of the husky’s suggestions today actually made any sense, but remembering that it was a full moon, he didn’t dare to hope that the husky would be maintaining her logical thought process. He took the grimoire from her and simply flipped a few pages open. “Yeah… the book is real.”

What Hao Ren did not notice that, he was standing right in the center of the circle, and as the grimoire opened, the light of the full moon shone upon the illustration of the ‘Summoning of the Blood King’.

Cold air started forming on the pages of the grimoire as an eerie red glow started eminating from the pages of the grimoire and started spreading.

The summoning ritual did not fail. It was missing an important requirement. The book being on the energy focal point!

And now, the ritual activated.
