Chapter 44: Arran'tel: Abyssal Demon of Depthless Gloom, New Crazy Function!
[Congratulations! You have summoned Arran'tel, the Abyssal Demon of Depthless Gloom- Primeval-rank.]
Aleron saw a shadow cast over him as a figure manifested from liquidy sparks of dark blue, black, and dark green.
'Woah!'
Aleron's eyes sparkled as he looked up and saw an eccentric figure forming three meters away from the balcony's edge.
The exotic aura soon shaped into a two-meter-tall humanoid figure with an octopus-like head, but his dark blue tentacles were formally settled around his neck as they faintly glowed with black patterns.
He wore a black patterned blue suit, held a cane in his left hand, and had a pair of round glasses on his beady dark green eyes that slowly opened.
Upon looking at Aleron, he felt a whole life flashing before his eyes before they settled on a particular emotion-gratefulness.
That gratefulness turned into pure devotion towards this being before him that granted a new meaning to his lost existence.
"My lord, Arran'tel is at your service."
Aleron broadly grinned and nodded, "Welcome to the family."
'Inspect!'
Aleron used his inspection skill and checked out Arran'tel's status while asking, "So, what is your specialty, Tel?"

'So powerful!' Aleron's eyes sparkled. 'I wonder what kind of crazy things he can do?'
"My lord, I shall send you information on my special spells and capabilities, so you can make apt use of me," Arran'tel said with a smile, using his free hand to put it on his chest and bowing slightly as he arrived beside Aleron like a hazy dark blue-ish black mist.
In the next second, Aleron felt a familiar energy in a new way entering him with Arran's intention, which he could clearly read.
'Soul Force!'
Aleron accepted the information package as he learned of Arran's capabilities.
'Damnnn! So he has a herald of demonic creatures that he had evolved based on his unique magic and bloodline....'
'Such crazy spell...'
Aleron's eyes lit up in brilliance as he got an idea.
"Arran, I have a job for you. Can you investigate an ocean for me? Also, make a route to cross it as well."
"Ocean is my territory. If you wish so, my lord, I can pour out an entire ocean if you want to build your territory on it or below it as well," Arran'tel lightly laughed and adjusted his glass, his eyes showing confidence and pride, "Investigating one is just a matter of time and no difficulty for me, my lord."
"Great! Then let's go out of this secret realm. I'll show you that ocean," Aleron grinned.
Arran'tel looked above at this secret realm's sky and nodded before saying, "This world is also filled with mysteries in the ocean and islands. How about I send out one of my most capable subordinates to investigate the water around this island?"
Aleron welcomed that prospect with a laugh, "Awesome, do it."
Arran'tel waved his cane, creating an abyssal whirlpool of strange dark water ten meters away in the sky.
Aleron looked at it and saw a two-meter-long and three-meter-tall anglerfish, with a ghastly dark blue fishing pole projecting from its head two meters away that a hung dreamy blue-ish glowing orb.
However, Aleron could only see the fishing pole briefly before it vanished and the glowing orb just ghastly hung two meters away from it.
Its ten eyes of uneven size and strange slash and curvy patterns on its exotic body of dark blue and dark green colors only highlighted its terrorizing appearance.
This fish actually floated in the air while having a strange wave of dim hazy black waters below it, and arrived before Arran'tel while swimming on it.
"What orders do you have for me, master?"
"Scary but cool!" Aleron was amazed at this creature and inspected it with shiny eyes.
[Insanguis]

"Insanguis, tame all aquatic creatures around the island and investigate the strange source of
magic I am sensing near this island in the depths."
Insanguis nodded as its orb bulb lit up ghastly, "Understood, master."
A second later, the fish strangely dived into the magical water that was just several inches
thick and vanished along with the water.
But it appeared at the edge of the island, right inside the ocean!
"We can go now, my lord," Arran'tel said with a smile.
"Boss!"
Suddenly, the room's door opened and Aleron saw Odar entering.
'This...' Odar was startled upon seeing three dreamy bubbles, each holding a person inside. He
recognized Darzax and Riki, but Enorin was a new one.
"You recovered? Good," Aleron grinned as he looked at Odar.
"Thanks to you, boss."
Odar walked towards Aleron his gaze also landed on Arran'tel and he gulped. Somehow, he
felt that this being with an octopus-like head was the most scary and powerful being so far.
"We are going outside, so come if you want to. I'm going to meet with Rias to tell her that everything is fine before completing some minor tasks I have in mind."
Aleron already knew about everything from Enorin and he was grateful that Rias chose to believe him by telling Enorin and Darzax about Principal Kadita's plan.
"It seems that many things happened while I was recovering in sleep," Odar wryly smiled
while scratching his head.
Aleron pointed his index finger at Odar and sent everything into Odar's mind using his Soul Force, filling up the blanks.
Odar's jaw dropped to the ground as he saw everything, from Aleron entering the academy, sparring briefly, and Ocean Wrath's subjugation to the Akuma possessing Aleron and him
winning.
When he snapped out of his thought, he was already in the Lotusdawn Courtyard, inside the room where Aleron was previously resting.
"Arran'tel, you can show off your aura subtly for the powerhouses to let them know your power," Aleron said with a grin.
Arran'tel smiled and nodded, "Understood, my lord."
He was a Primeval-rank powerhouse and someone who had lived for hundreds of years. Aleron told him briefly about his situation, and that was all he needed to know to serve his
lord to the best of his ability.
"Let's chill here while Rias arrives," Aleron sat down on the sofa chair before taking out his
-comm card.
Rias, who was in contact with Selena to get awareness of the situation at the beach and forest suddenly saw her comm card beeping with Aleron's name and was surprised.
[Rias: Selena, since everything is fine and stabilized, you all can return whenever you want
to.]
[Selena: Alright.]
Rias quickly cut off the call and accepted Aleron's call.
[Aleron: What's up, Rias? I defeated that Akuma, so everything is fine now. I am in the
courtyard and waiting for you. Come soon when you are free.]
[Rias: Y-You...you won?]
Rias's heart skipped a beat before racing faster. 'He won?!'
[Aleron: of course, hahaha! Anyway, I am cutting off the call. Come here when you are free.]
Aleron put away the comm card before putting his focus on the main dish as his eyes shone.
He opened the Gacha Room and looked at the new function that unlocked-[ Banner Pond]
'I wonder what kind of function is this?' Aleron opened it and was met with a bunch of sections and bars.
Gachapi also appeared nearby as its voice echoed.
[Gachapi: Master, this Banner Pond can allow you to create a Limited Banner of your choice
with 10 summons. It costs 10k Gacha Points to create one, and you also need to buy its tickets, but by filling up those brackets to specify what kind of banner and summons you want from it,
it will produce that banner.]
Aleron was stunned into dizziness!
Create a banner of his imagination?!
For real?! This was crazy!
'Are you kidding me?!'
Gachapi tilted its head to the side. [Of course not, Master.]
***
[A/N: Hehe, I'm sure you've understood what we can cook with this. Yes, we can cook limitlessly while I still weave the story for our exotic journey. Anyhow, I will create the first Limited Banner myself to show you its functionality, but for the next one, I shall allow one of
you to cook it!]
[I will announce when I will start this event, how to participate, and how to win later. For now, just enjoy the ride *wink*]
