Chapter 463 Vale's Tower Ascension ( 7 )

"Spider Egg?"

Vale muttered in surprise as he saw the result of his Extraction. This was such a rare result of Extraction, so he was momentarily confused.

"Ahhh…" He immediately recalled that he could also extract "things" using his Divine Extraction System. He even had an Extraction Space where he could see all his system collections.

As he thought of checking the Spider Egg inside this Extraction Space, he noticed the Spider Queen started dissipating like a curtain of ash melting into the surroundings.

A Bronze Treasure Chest had also appeared at the bottom of the stairs leading to the seventh floor, similar to the previous ones.

Vale couldn't help but smile at this as he checked his Extraction Space. There, he found the 50 Spider Eggs that were the same size as his fist. They were certainly larger than normal ones.

"Why did they get extracted? Are they some sort of delicacy I must try?" Vale suddenly thought, but he shook his head immediately.

He didn't expect that his first thought was to eat them…

'I must be hungry…'

Vale wryly smiled as he used the Analyze feature of the Extraction Space.

With its help, he realized that those Eggs were containing dead spiders.

[ Dead Silver Recluse Spider ]

However, the Egg Sac and the dead spiders could be used in Alchemy or even in Crafting.

This result also made Vale realize that he probably couldn't extract a living being. Nevertheless, he didn't feel disappointed as he felt that these Spider Eggs could be helpful someday.

 As he thought of moving forward, he remembered one crucial thing…

"Right… I should start the ritual here. It shouldn't take that long." Vale muttered as he pulled out his Grimoire.

The seventh floor or the higher floors might be a better place to start the Grimoire Summoning Ritual since the higher floors had a higher density of otherworldly energy.

However, as he recalled that everyone failed the seventh floor and that the highest record was the eighth floor, he thought of just doing it here.

After all, he might not have a chance of doing it later on due to some reasons that might arise.

"Very well…" Vale muttered to himself. As he slowly recalled the things he had studied about the Summoning Ritual using the Grimoire.

Ever since he obtained this Grimoire, he certainly did his own research about the method to fill its page or to get a contracted being.

He knew that summoning a powerful being would require certain incantations with the help of the embedded powers of the Grimoire.

With a deep breath, he opened his black Grimoire. Its ancient pages had very faint arcane symbols and cryptic writings.

Based on his studies, these symbols would be the ones helping him bind the summoned being.

Soon, Vale stood at the center of the hall, and he began the summoning ritual.

He used the blade of his Stormbringer to cut his left index finger.

Then, He held his hand above the open book, tracing the intricate sigils with his bloodied finger, infusing them with his intent.

The air around him grew heavy as his words echoed through the chamber.

"From the depths of the Ethereal Realm of Abyss, I implore you to answer my call. By the pact of blood and spirit, I summon a creature of power to be bound by my will..."

As the final words left his lips, a surge of the Tower's Mystical Energy filled the room. Then, a seemingly portal materialized before him, oozing with otherworldly energy!

Vale's heart raced as he awaited the arrival of the summoned entity, his eyes fixed on the swirling vortex.

But to his surprise, a shadow of a demonic being emerged from the portal, but he could see its eyes, which were blazing with fury.

It snarled at Vale, its voice dripping with disdain.

"You, mortal? No, you reek of Celestial essence. I will not be shackled to one tainted by their presence."

Then, the shadow of the demon returned to the vortex, and the hall returned to its calm state.

Vale's brow furrowed in confusion… and frustration.

It was his intention to summon a demonic being as he had many questions about them. After all, these beings from the Abyss seemed to be too mysterious.

Of course, Vale could not do this in the outside world since it was prohibited to summon a demonic being.

"Very well… Let's do a normal one." Vale muttered.

He reopened his Grimoire and adjusted his approach. He no longer used his blood, but instead, he cast the Moonlight Curse above him and started his incantation.

"By moonlit glow and starry night, I call upon the Realm of Light. Through ancient words and whispered plea, I summon you, fair one, to me.

From hidden groves and enchanted glades, Where magic thrives and beauty cascades, Come forth, oh fairy, with wings of grace, Bring wisdom true to this mortal's embrace.

I ask you, fairy, to join with me."

Vale couldn't help but smile as he felt that he was really suited to be a Ritual Expert. Although he had only attended a few classes in the Ritual Theory Class, he felt that he really had a talent for it.

'It should be good now, right?'

Then, a soft breeze swept through the chamber, carrying with it the delicate scent of blooming flowers. From the corners of the room, tiny specks of light emerged, twirling and dancing in the air.

As the luminescence intensified, a graceful fairy materialized before Vale, her wings shimmering with iridescent hues.

The fairy regarded Vale with a curious gaze, her voice melodic as she spoke. "You have summoned me when you have a Dark Spirit? What is it that you seek?"

'What?' Vale couldn't immediately answer after the fairy pointed out that he had a Dark Spirit with him.

However, as soon as he heard the second question, he immediately adjusted his mind and replied.

"I seek your aid, noble fairy. I wish to forge a pact, to have your wisdom and magical prowess at my side."
