Sitting cross-legged not far from the tree, Sareth looked up at the small strange fruit on the branch and began to plan.
Foster Father said that the most important thing to summon a demon is the coordinates, followed by the offerings! Sareth recalled Roy's instructions and muttered to himself, If it's in a world with high magic energy, the magic formation used to summon demons will provide coordinates. The repulsive force in a world with high magic energy is relatively small, so even if the offerings are not good enough, or even if there are no offerings, they can attract demons and summon them. This is because demons don't need to pay too much of a price when crossing worlds.
But it's different in a world with low magic energy. In addition to the coordinates, there must be enough offerings. This is because offerings must be used to offset the world repulsive effect. The offerings are actually not dedicated to the demons to be summoned but to the world repulsive effect. Therefore, the living beings of the local worlds are usually used as offerings because these local living beings have the corresponding rules of this world. Gathering them together can weaken and offset the repulsive effect and allow demons to descend.
The stronger the demon, the stronger the repulsive effect they need to offset, so they naturally need more and better offerings … The scythe that Foster Father gave me can use his plague power, which might be convenient for me to obtain offerings. But now that I have this fruit, perhaps I don't need to do it myself … Sareth stared at the fruit and pondered. This is a fruit produced by the Qliphoth. This tree absorbs human blood, so it naturally absorbs a portion of soul power. It can be considered a natural offering. But this bit of power is probably not enough to summon Foster Father. I reckon I have to wait until it's almost ripe …
"It's just a little strange …" Sareth scratched his head and looked around. "This Qliphoth should have been cultivated by that demon lord, and his goal must be this fruit. But … why didn't he send anyone to guard it?"
This was what Sareth found the strangest. The top of the tree was completely empty, and he could not see any demons at all. This made Sareth wonder if he had guessed wrong. Did the demon lord not care about this fruit?
How would he know that it wasn't that he had guessed wrongly, but that he had accidentally barged in!
Urizen had set up an enormous barrier around the canopy where the fruit was. In order to prevent other demons from coveting it, he did not even allow any demons to approach or appear near the canopy. He sat in the Qliphoth and commanded the demons to attack everywhere to collect 'nutrients' for the Qliphoth.
Urizen was very confident in the barrier he had set up, but he did not expect Sareth to barge in.
In fact, the barrier that Sareth had bumped into earlier was a barrier. But he had never encountered such a thing before, so he did not understand it at all. Especially the moment he passed through, the barrier only lasted for a moment, and then it disappeared, so he did not think too much about it.
The reason why Sareth could pass through this barrier without any restrictions was because of the Demon Bible stele in the bag he was carrying on his back …
What exactly is the Demon Bible? In fact, it was a little hard to describe because what really worked was not the stone that carried the inscriptions but the demon characters on it! The language and characters of demons were very unique symbols that could communicate with mysterious power. 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 stele, the first living beings that the Creator created were angels, and then the living beings created were demons. Just like how angels claimed that they were the 'Firstborn of God', demons were the 'Second Sons of God'. Be it angels or demons, they were actually the oldest living beings in the Infinite Worlds. As for the titans, elves, humans, and other races that gradually appeared later, they 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 now came from the two races of angels and demons, not from the elves as in the legends of some worlds … The war between angels and demons had always been known as the 'Eternal War'. The battle between the two sides had lasted for tens of thousands of years, and they had fought back and forth in the Infinite Worlds, naturally causing the mysticism of magic to spread to the Infinite Worlds.
The language and characters 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 these characters and languages. Although the Demon Bible scriptures engraved on the stele recorded the history of ancient times, the combination of those characters formed a wonderful effect.
This effect was the world repulsive effect! The Demon Bible inscriptions that Roy had first obtained had always been used by him as an expulsion incantation. Later, after obtaining more inscriptions, he found that the power of each stele seemed to be similar, and they were all similar to the world repulsive effect. This made Roy realize that he might be able to use the unique power on these steles to solve the repulsive problem he encountered when traveling through the Infinite Worlds.
Obviously, low-level demons did not need these steles because regardless of whether it was a low-magic world or a high-magic world, the repulsive effect on low-level demons would not be too great. But it was completely different for high-rank demons, demon lords, and even demon kings. Roy was not the only one facing this repulsive problem. Similarly, he was not the only demon lord who had discovered the effects of these Demon Bible steles. This was why the Demon Bible steles that Roy obtained and wanted to obtain were all in the hands of some demon lords.
Sparda was the owner of this Demon Bible stele, but it was still the same as before. The stele was not important. What was important was the demon characters on it. This was why Sparda hid the stele but did not impose any other protective measures.
Due to the different chapters of this stele, the demon characters on it were naturally different. In addition to the world repulsive effect, this stele also seemed to have the ability to break through the spatial effect. This power might not be much for a demon lord because demon lords basically grasped spatial magic power, so this ability of the stele might not be of much use.
But the problem was that Sareth was not a demon lord. If he had not appeared above the treetop with this stele on his back, he might have also been blocked outside the barrier. But coincidentally, he had come with this stele on his back, causing him, a little fellow who could only be considered a middle-rank demon, to barge into a spatial barrier set up by a demon lord …
Sareth was the only one on the top of such a large empty tree. But because he was too inexperienced, he did not understand how special his current situation was. Instead, he thought that the demon lord (referring to Urizen) did not value this fruit.
Since you don't value it, it's easy for me! While thinking this, Sareth picked up Executioner and drew a huge circle around the branch with the fruit as the center.
"I've finished drawing the circle. Next is to carve the magic formation. Let me think, what did Mother Julia teach me …" Sareth muttered to himself.
Oh, no, I still need an inner circle! Thinking of this, Sareth quickly drew a smaller circle inside the large circle.
"Hmm, that's right. When the time comes, the demon characters have to be engraved in this circle!" Sareth nodded in satisfaction and came to the inner circle with his scythe. "Next is to draw the pentagram. Mother Julia said that the position of the offering must be in the center of the pentagram, so I have to use the position of this fruit as a symmetrical line … In addition, I have to pay attention to the direction of the lines when drawing the pentagram. The starting point of the first stroke, drawing to the left is in the proper order, and drawing to the right is in the inverse order. The pentagram in the proper order represents closure, but I want to summon Foster Father here now, so I have to draw it in the inverse order. After all, the pentagram in the inverse order represents opening …"
After drawing, Sareth leaned against his scythe and stared at the pentagram he had drawn for a few times before nodding in satisfaction. "Not bad. My drawing is quite standard …"
Next, Sareth began to engrave demon characters in the circle. "Hmm … What's the first symbol of a standard summoning formation? Oh, right, it's' lead '! "
Sareth engraved the first demon character and continued. "The second symbol is' potential '!
"The third symbol is' pray '!
"The fourth symbol is' place '!"
…
One by one, Sareth engraved demon characters in the magic formation according to the summoning formation pattern in his memory. In fact, he did not know much about the meaning and functions of these demon characters. As a Child of Taboo, he did not inherit any memories from his demon father, Kha-Beleth. Moreover, under the guidance of Roy and the others over the years, he could only reach a half-baked understanding.
It was the same even if Roy gave him the Translation Konjac. The Translation Konjac did not have the ability to parse demon characters, so to put it bluntly, this little guy was actually illiterate in demonology …
After spending most of the day, Sareth was finally almost done. He took a deep breath, squatted down, and pressed his hand on the pattern of the magic formation.
Next, I'll input magic power to test it! As long as there's no problem with the drawing, the magic formation will resonate, and these patterns will be fixed and won't be easily destroyed … Sareth was a little excited. After all, it was his first time drawing a magic formation.
The test result was pretty good. Although it was his first time drawing, Sareth still completed the summoning formation.
Next, I just need to wait for this fruit to ripen, and then I can use it as an offering to activate the summoning formation! Sareth said happily.
However, not long after, he suddenly realized that it would take a long time for the fruit to ripen. Wasn't it too boring to wait alone in such an empty place?
Why don't I go see Nero first? I wonder if his hand has recovered … I can also ask about Dante and the others … Sareth thought.
With this thought in mind, Sareth carried the Demon Bible stele on his back, spread his flame wings, and flew away from the canopy. This time, he encountered the obstruction again, but he quickly passed through it.
What's going on with this feeling? Sareth was a little confused as he reached out and touched the spot. Am I hallucinating?
Forget it, I don't care … Sareth could not figure it out after touching it for a long time, so he simply ignored it and flew away.
He came and left quietly. With a wave of his sleeve, he left a magic formation …
