Thunder and storm intertwined, and the new downpour was even more violent than two months ago.

In a dimly lit villa on the town’s outskirts, all that was left was a magic circle that had been composed.

After taking a deep breath, Byron stood up.

Another great summoning is about to begin, but was it really okay to do this personally?

He covered his head with his hands in pain.

“It’s not right…I should stop now. I can’t ask for more.”

“But ……”

Before starting the new summoning ceremony, he walked through the dark brown door to the villa’s basement.

He sat down and gently stroked the ice coffin, gazing lovingly at the sleeping girl inside.

“My daughter… Eve.” Byron’s tone was heavy and moving.

Yes, the anguish Byron successfully resurrected his beloved daughter – he did not cling to physical reconstruction anymore, but he used alchemy to create a near-perfect body of the magic. 

Along with the forbidden knowledge in “Beyond Bondage”, Byron successfully recalled his daughter’s soul from the outside world and placed it inside this magic puppet body.

Sitting aside, he gently stroked the ice coffin very carefully, while gazing lovingly at the sleeping girl inside.

“What have I done wrong?”

Over the past two months, he thought he had discovered the secret to Beyond the Binding.

In addition, he also succeeds in recalling his daughter’s soul, but to this day, she has not yet woken up.

Could it be that my spell has failed? Impossible.

Although the magic body had no scent of living breath, he could feel the fluctuation of her soul, a rhythm of life.

She was undoubtedly alive, but she just couldn’t wake up from her sleep.

The light in the basement was dim, and the decadent look on the middle-aged man’s face grew solemn and anxious.

An invisible thirst and restlessness made him uncontrollable.

“If I had more knowledge, I wouldn’t have been helpless… As long as there is more knowledge, yes …… Knowledge is either good or evil, and I didn’t do anything wrong.”

He muttered to himself for a long time and once again gently stroked the ice coffin on the side.

“What matters most is you.”

Leaving the basement, he made his way to the villa’s open roof, where Yana was waiting for him.

After the last summoning ceremony, Yana was the only apprentice still in good spirits and didn’t need to go to a nursing home.

Upon seeing him, she became excited, then she lowered her head slightly and crossed two fingers, and with a face full of embarrassment, she shyly asked.

“Teacher, can you pay a little more this time? After all, you know my family situation. There are eight siblings in my family to support.”

“Last time several students were hospitalized, I think the risk of this matter may be relatively high, so can you…… add money.”

Up until this point, Yana did not know that the summoning object was an extraterrestrial god. As a result, she only thought that her classmates were hospitalized due to the ferocity of the evil spirits.

Byron was a little speechless at her request, but her willpower was good enough to be alive and kicking after the ceremony even if she was not strong enough.

As a top wizard, an orthodox aristocrat, money was not a problem at all, he had long accumulated an immense fortune.

“I’ll give you more money this time. Well, it will be twice as much as I paid last time.” Byron said, looking calmly at Yana.

Yana raised both her fists excitedly and shouted with joy.

“Yeah!”

Byron shook his head. Only such worldly people like money.

He recalled the mysterious person he had met by chance at the cafe, such as a real big shot, who would be indifferent to worldly possessions.

“Let the summoning begin.”

The summoning location he chose this time was still on the outskirts of Beland because it was so close to the lawless “wicked land” that even curious investigators would rarely run here.

In this day and age, places outside of cities were still mostly chaotic, and people who wanted to travel from city to city often had to take the relatively safe “outer road”.

Of course, there were other options, such as invisible art or the power of relics, but this option wasn’t available for ordinary people.

Byron once again took out the bloodstained sacrificial knife and stabbed it hard in the palm of his hand.

The feeling of fresh blood flowing was still clear and painful, causing the body to gradually become numb.

Taking a deep breath, Byron gazed at the blood flow and concentrated on reciting the ancient incantation.

“The White Mist Across the Shore, the great existence from the void world.”

“Nameless, an indescribable, obscure, mysterious god.”

“My heart is full of despair and pain, and as an opportunity to untie, I offer you the Ring of Fortune.”

“I will do all the best and all the worst, just to ask you to appear in the world and fulfill the only desire in my heart.”

Unknown to Byron, the gray mist slowly emerged faintly, and soon, a white mist gushed out of it noticeably.

Yana was also preparing for the battle from the other side. She closed her eyes and blocked her ears. She didn’t want to hear or see it at all.

But she was still under tremendous pressure, a little bug-like her could only shiver.

——

Once again, Shen Yi emerged from the gray mist.

This time, he knew who the summoner was, and he used the “shadow mask” beforehand to transform into Byron.

Standing on top of the weird and complicated magic circle Shen Yi looked around the surroundings calmly. This time it was a dark room and was much smaller than the summoning places he had visited a few times before.

Byron stood not far away, staring at him with a face full of nervousness.

As Shen Yi had become accustomed to being summoned, he did not feel nervous.

He just stood silent and stared at Byron straight in the eye, waiting for him to speak first.

As if knowing his thought, Byron explained immediately. “Master of everything, the White Mist across the Shore, your power is truly extraordinary, but I am too shallow to understand it all.”

In other words, what Byron meant was that I did bring my daughter back to life through “Beyond the Binding”, but I wasn’t able to truly awaken her up.

Shen Yi was silent for a long time, ‘it’s perfectly normal for you to can’t understand. After all, what I read to you is just a normal “Xiaoyouyou” to ward you off.’

It was strange to be able to comprehend the extraordinary power from it!

“Do you want more?” he asked indifferently.

Once again, Byron’s mind re-emerged with emotionless messages, a question from the God of the World, and just a message made him feel the pressure.

The look on Byron’s face was ugly, but when he thought of his daughter, who hadn’t woken up, he admitted his greed.

“Yes, I do want to ask for more, for your great and fascinating knowledge.”

Shen Yi sighed, he had to find a way to become stronger because sooner or later he wouldn’t be able to cope with it.

This time Shen Yi came up with a new idea instead of giving “knowledge” directly.

Before he came, he wrote down plans in his notebook.

After being summoned, the man decided to explore the area to find out more useful information.

Without a word, he left the spell formation, and Byron stood where he was, unobstructed.

Because Byron’s vision was full of white mists, he did not realize that the “God of the World” body was circling past him.

Shen Yi walked up to Yana, the girl in front of him bowed her head in fear, closed her eyes, and covered her ears.

He secretly took out his cell phone and took a picture of Byron and Yana each.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yi said, “Your wish will naturally come true, as long as you offer a proper sacrifice.”

Byron let out a sigh of relief and immediately replied, “I will naturally offer sacrifices that will satisfy you.”

Without hesitation, he took out a silver ring from his pocket.

This mysterious relic was the “Ring of Fortune”, a distortion level, which would bring good luck when worn during the day and bad luck when worn at night.

In addition to its effect, it also had a side effect, so there was no further cost associated with it.

Although it was only a “distorted-level” mysterious relic, there weren’t many mysterious relics with a controllable cost like this, and it was very valuable.

Still, Byron was a little nervous about his sacrifice because it was far less valuable than forbidden knowledge, and wondered if it would be recognized.

Because if he accidentally outraged the God of the world, the consequences would be unimaginable and he dared not even think about it.

Shen Yi did not know the effect of the ring but he still decided to take it.

It seems to be silver lucky for him. He already could not afford to pay next month’s utility bills. If he really can’t, he could sell it for money.

Of course, Shen was just thinking and didn’t really plan to sell it. After all, this ring must be an extraordinary item.

That being the case… I’ll just throw another article to fool him.

Which one to recite this time?

***

At this moment, no one knew that the ice coffin in the basement opened without warning.

Lying in the ice-coffin was a beautiful young girl as if she had been carefully carved by a star god. Under the light white veil, the skin was smooth and white, unlike ordinary people, and the delicate features had a sense of transcendental beauty so that anyone who sees her would appreciate beauty, not desire it.

Byron had yet to understand the profound knowledge of the soul, even if he could bring the deceased back to the body, he hadn’t masterd the way to revive the consciousness of the deceased.

The white mist surrounded the ice coffin and the sleeping girl slowly opened her eyes.

Stimulated by the cold her body came back to life and revived from eternal sleep.
