Chapter 273: Summoning

"Is that true?"

"He will summon right now?"

"Wait, there's no Arcane Circle and Arcane Stone prepared. How can he start the Bestowal Ceremony?"

"Ahh That's true"

The practitioners were not doubting Ruthren's words but they are just confused about the process of summoning. 

The Arcana Bestowal Ceremony they know is when they hunted humans for their blood and sacrifice them to the Imp gods. 

During the process, a small void will appear at the place where they conducted the ritual to take the blood of the humans. 

After the gods took the blood they offered, they would have 10 seconds to state their wish.

If they wished for Arcana, they would normally receive a weapon or weapons depending on the quality and quantity of the blood they offered. 

If they are not requesting protection, they would probably have plenty of Arcana by now. Unfortunately, every year, they would have to gather a pond of blood to protect them from the Beast Waves. 

This kind of request will cost a lot since the nine imp gods would be sending their protection during the whole duration of the Beast Wave. 

Normally, problems would occur on the last days of the Wave since the protection has already weakened a lot. 

During this time, there would be plenty of deaths in their villages as the stronger Beasts would be able to bypass the protection and enter their village to hunt them 

This is the reason why they are so excited to have proper summoning of Arcana. 

"That's correct. We will do it now"

It is probably the signal as Ayumi entered the Hall bringing a small table at the front. 

Right now, only Stasis is at the center of the platforms waiting for Ruthren's words. 

"Come over here." Ayumi softly said but enough for everyone to hear.

"Yes, Miss Ayumi."

Stasis walked in front and stopped in front of the small table. 

It is covered with a luxurious blue cloth with golden markings at the edges. He can see a small bump at the center being covered but he has no idea what it is.

Nevertheless, it didn't take long before Ayumi removed the cloth and showed the stone in front of everyone. 

"Hmm?"

"A small stone?"

"Wait"

"Is that an Arcane Stone?"

"It's so small though"

That's right, what's hidden on the small table was the Ancient Arcane Stone that Reiji has been carrying with him. 

"What's going on now?" The elders of the three villages couldn't understand what's happening as well. 

Since they heard Ruthren announcing the start of the Bestowal Ceremony, they are expecting that they'll bring them to the place where they set up the Arcane Circle and Arcane Stone to begin with the ceremony.

However, Ayumi just brought a small table and a small stone?

Is he supposed to eat that thing?

"Everyone, the stone you're seeing right now will help us complete the ceremony."

Ruthren started explaining.

"Stasis, do you know the process of summoning?"

"Ahh Yes. I remember that I'll have to pour my Spiritual Energy into the stone until I get a connection to the Arcane World. However, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed that I'll be able to summon an Arcana. It will still depend whether one of the Arcana in that vast world would be attracted and decide to be mine."

"Hmm That's right. Anyway, this stone has limited uses so not everyone can summon their Arcana. You will only have a single attempt so you have to do your best, Stasis"

"Yes, Sir Ruthren."

"Very well, do you want to start now or would you like to take a rest first?"

"It's fine I'll start now."

"Good Everyone, be silent and don't distract his summoning. Go ahead, Stasis."

Ruthren said without waiting for the crowd to reply to his words. 

The young man then stepped forward and placed his two fingers at the small black stone on the table. 

He started pouring his Spiritual Energy into the stone and waited until he connected to the Arcane World.

Everyone watched the man with bated breath as this is their first time witnessing this method of summoning.

After about ten seconds of pouring his spiritual energy, Stasis finally managed to feel the presence of the Arcane World. 

Soon, a bright red light manifested in front of everyone!

"What?! Epic-Rank Arcana!"

The crowd that was blinded by the light recognized the light.

A common rank manifests a white light, a rare rank is a green light, a unique rank is a blue light, an epic rank is a red light, a legendary rank is a purple light and finally, the mythical rank will manifest myriad colors!

Stasis was so grateful at the sight of the Arcana. He almost thought that he would fail to acquire an Arcana.

After all, it took quite a long time for a weapon or object inside the Arcane World to respond to his Spiritual Energy.

On the other hand, Imane can be seen smirking at the sight of the red light

'Hehe It didn't reach the legendary rank! I'm still the best.' The young girl thought as she remained proud of herself. 

However, her only regret was she was unable to get a weapon. What she received instead is an accessory-type Arcana. It wasn't that bad but weapon-type Arcana is still considered the best when it comes to combat. 

Then, she looked at the floating long staff or perhaps spear in front of Stasis!

"Hahaha! You won't be able to use your dual-wielding style anymore!"

Since the man received a spear, he must train with the weapon instead of practicing the Miyazaki Sword Style

However, as the light disappears and Stasis held the weapon, Imane noticed something different with the weapon.

Clank! Clank!

The long weapon wasn't a normal staff or spear!

It can actually be separated into two as Stasis held two swords in his hands!

"What?!"

What kind of luck is this?!

Even Reiji, who had seen Stasis splitting the long staff into two weapons was surprised at the sight. 

"Amazing This method of summoning is incredible! Is it giving what the summoner needs?!"

One of the elders exclaimed which made the others realize the importance of the Arcane Stone in front of them.
