A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 26: Technique

Technique

Helena's face turned sour. In a disbelieving tone, she asked" How?"

"The human summoners started using their powers for evil and all sort of wickedness. There were so many marauders, rapists, bandits, fun killers, and so on which then formed into societies like brotherhoods and covens. Although good ones that had the safety and positive progression of the kingdoms in mind came up too. But they were overpowered and destroyed. Only few of them exist now and they are silent. They no longer come to the aid of people or races that are in distress or difficult or dangerous situations" Sylla said.

Helena became sad.

Sylla saw this and gave a smile. She had achieved the result she wanted.

She only wanted Helena to know that although her race was powerful, it was her race that brought about disorder in all the lands and submerged them in the sea of disaster.

Not very long, the sour expression on her face disappeared. It vanished because she believed the good would always overcome evil. She believed it wouldn't happen now but later in future, a place in time, where a set of people would come from and bathe the lands with the blood of the dark ones to appease the resentful souls and cleanse away the aura and presence of evil on the lands with their blood.

She looked at Sylla who was still in the bathtub and gave a cute smile. Then she asked "Although I have read somewhere about these entities. I want you to tell me a bit about them since you have knowledge of them"

"Okay. According to what the Three Heavens Emperor recorded in his book, there's a universe that overlaps with ours. But it exists on another plane of existence. In this universe, there are tens of thousands of worlds in which all forms of entities inhabit. These entities are like spirits as they exists in the incorporeal form, like a ghost. Their numbers are so large they number in tens of billions in each of these worlds. That's why no amount of summoning can reduce their population number. Secondly, these spiritual entities are like us too. They come from different spiritual tribes and each of these tribes have their own forms. That is, every entity from a particular tribe have the same form. No two tribe are the same in appearance. They don't even share the slightest similarity. So there are many different forms as there are vast numbers of tribes. Thirdly, these spiritual entities have different levels of power. For example, two elemental spirits of fire from two different tribes would have different forms and different levels of power. One may produce fire as hot as the fire at the heart of a furnace while the other may produce fire as hot as the temperature at the centre of the sun" Sylla replied

Helena's soul shook in astonishment and her mind in awe.

She had just come to realize that these spiritual entities also have tribes they are from and no two spirits of the same ability have the same level of power. One could be way more powerful than the other.

"What a marvel. There are many things to learn about this world" she uttered inwardly.

Then her eyes glittered in elation when a realization struck her.

Her eyes glowed because she felt she was gradually understanding the mysteries of the Caleandrian universe or Caleandrian dimension. And in this understanding may lie the secret to use spirit vision, which is an ability to see into the spirit world of the Caleandrians. So she thought.

When she recollected herself, she asked "So how's it that you know about all these? Is it through the book that the three Heavens Emperor recorded his stuff in? How did you get it?" she asked in a curious tone.

She felt Sylla must have gone for adventure at some dangerous, remote places and then discovered the book in a ruined ancient site in one of her adventurous exploration.

She would then use their relationship to ask for the book so she could read though it.

She was ready to do anything to activate spirit vision.

"Yes, I know all these through what the Three Heavens Emperor recorded in his book. But the book we have don't have the entire information he revealed to the whole world. It's only a truncated copy providing knowledge about the spirit entities. Nothing too spectacular about it. It was our seventh royal chief that got us the book, and that was like ten million years ago." Sylla replied in a disinterested tone.

Helena became filled with disappointment. But she concealed it from Sylla.

Then she sat back in the bathtub and leaned on Sylla who had a happy smile on her face.

Sylla carried a hand and placed it on one of Helena's breast. Then she began to press it while her other hand curled around Helena's flat belly.

"Finally, she accepts to be mine." Sylla whispered in one of Helena's ear and laughed softly.

Helena who had begun to moan as her breast was fondled smiled at what Sylla said and resumed moaning. The electrifying sensations she felt at her breast that was being caressed caused her to feel like she was on the clouds. The feeling was great.

Then Sylla kissed Helena on the cheek. With her tongue out, she licked Helena's cheek down to her slender, delicate neck. This simple action caused Helena to shake, but softly.

As Sylla was playing with Helena's melons, Helena said after a while "Sylla, I have some questions on the Three Heavens emperor."

Sylla stopped what she was doing. Then she said. "Alright. Roll it away. Anything for you baby"

"The book your race got, does it have information on how the Three Heavens Emperor was able to do this? I mean how he discovered the path to humans rise to power? " Helena asked.

"Yes, it was said in the book that he was able to achieve this through what he called 'Spirit Projection'" Sylla replied.

"Okayy. What's that? What's spirit projection?" Helena asked.

"Okay, the body has three bodies. The physical body, the soul body and spirit body. So in the book, spirit projection which is also called 'out-of-body travel' is described as detaching one's spirit body, which is a ghost-like replica of one, from the body. By doing this, one phases from the physical to the spiritual. In this form, one would exist in the other plane of existence, which is the plane the Caleandrian universe, an enormously vast place exists in. Through spirit projection, the Three Heavens Emperor discovered the universe of this entities and was able to learn about them, their powers, their nearly innumerable myriad tribes and how they could give their powers." Sylla replied.

Wow!

Helena's eyes sparkled.

No matter what they did, she was still proud of the human race. Just through this means, they were able to gain eternal powers and immense destructive abilities.

Then she asked "Is he the only one to have achieved astral projection?"

"No. He gave the spirit projection technique out before he died. Then people who got it and understood the technique used it. But later, the technique was lost to time. And every other person who knew and mastered the technique are now dead. You know, chaos fountained when thousands of dark societies came up and wreaked mayhem everywhere. They went to many of these sites that were established by the people that knew the spirit projection technique and slew them when they marauded the sites. They looted tens of thousands of years accumulations of magical books and resources. So in their raids, they destroyed the sites and the people there. Also, they wanted the technique but they never got their hands on it" Sylla replied.

Wickedness! Evil!

Helena shook her head. The human race was really something. Sometimes she would be proud she was from the race, other times, she would be unhappy because she was from the race. It's like they brought great shame to her.

Then she asked in an perplexed tone "Isn't the Three Heavens Emperor supposed to live forever? How did he die?"

Sylla laughed, then she said. "Well, maybe he got tired of living. He wasn't killed in the storm of chaos. He died a natural death. Besides, no amount of summoner would be able to eradicate him. He knew a lot of astonishing techniques. One of them is the banishment technique, which when deployed, could force the spiritual entities back to their universe making the summoner an ordinary mortal again and easily killed. He is still the strongest summoner as he was the one who invented all the techniques summoners now use. His book, which contains thousands of mighty summoning spells, have long been buried by him in an unknown location. No one has been able to find out where it was buried since nine hundred and seventy four septillion years ago. But it would be revealed to the one destined to bring back order to our worlds. That's what I heard anyways."

Chosen one?

That's a mighty title. A name that attracts vast hordes of bastards. She thought.
