Primordial Soul's Rebirth

//// This chapter is long, but it was needed, so please bear with me. ////

In a room filled with nothing but bookshelves, tables, and paper notes lying on the ground, there were two guys.

One was sitting on the ground with his hand placed over an intricate magic circle. He seemed to be supplying mana to it while the other being in the room just stared at his back.

There was a chandelier hanging above their heads, lighting the whole room, but unlike a normal chandelier that would either be lit up with candles or electric lights, it had some soft blue colored stones on it.

The serine atmosphere matched quite well for the thing they were doing.

After all, they were trying to summon a being, a being with great potential…

But after a while, the being standing behind the man supplying mana to the magic circle couldn't help but question.

"Are you sure this will work?"

A gruff voice filled with uncertainty was heard from that guy as his features became visible.

He was a guy or more precisely a demon, with a large build, around 2.5 meters tall, and six arms attached to his body, all of them looked strong enough to tear apart a whole mountain with ease.

He was wearing a Skirt-like thing below his waist. It was reinforced with some kind of iron while he had armor made of animal hides and bones covering his chest, shoulders, and shin.

Reddish skin, strong body, and commanding presence.

His face held a fearsome expression with his brows always kept frowning.

His mouth filled with sharp teeth and his eyes shone orange in color.

He was an Asura race demon, known for their immense strength, strong body, battle adaptability, and elemental control.

Right now, he was looking at another demon, who was standing in front of a large magic circle, pushing his mana into it without a break.

The question was for that guy, and just as his voice fell, that guy paused.

"It has to. We need a leader right now…"

The man, who had white hair flowing down his back muttered as he started pushing the mana into the circle again.

"But you've been doing the same thing for three days straight now.

Don't you see that everyone else has already left, not believing that this will even work?"

The Asura guy inquired with frustration evident in his voice.

He was known to be patient among the demons, but even he was getting frustrated.

"So, why didn't you leave like others?"

The guy with white hair, who was sitting on the ground, supplying mana to the magic circle moved for the first time, and the moment he did, he was standing right in front of the asura, staring deep into his eyes.

The asura didn't reply, it just stared back into the red eyes of the white-haired man(?).

"Because you still believe that we might succeed, and when that happens, you want to be here…."

The white-haired man(?) spoke with a smile, but just as he smiled, his teeth, which looked like a normal human's, were visible in their full glory…

Now, one could see that although his teeth looked like a human's, there were two long and sharp fangs where the canine teeth were supposed to be.

He had an extremely handsome face which only looked better with his pale complexion.

His deep red eyes glowed with an eerie light, but that only made him look more dashing.

He had long white hair, which looked silky as he had to tuck it behind his long pointy ears.

The white-haired man, or better call him a vampire, just like the asura, was very strong.

Just a wave of his hand made the mana in the air churn.

"What do you want me to do?"

The asura spoke after a long silence.

It is just as the vampire said earlier.

He knew their situation better than anyone else, so he knew how important this was.

Not only him, the others knew as well, but maybe they gave up on waiting….

"Well, I will tell you after they come in."

The vampire, however, just smiled.

"They?"

The asura's frowning face turned a bit confused before his eyes turned sharp.

"Nyxshadow, reveal yourself."

He growled.

There was only one person who could hide even under his perception, and it was….

"Hehe…."

A mischievous chuckle was heard before….

*Fwoosh*

A wave of wind blew, blowing away everything.

Be it books, tables, papers, or the chandelier hanging over their heads, however, the clothes of the asura and the vampire didn't move an inch.

They just stared at the center of all of this, one with a serious frown and one with a permanent smile.

The ones responsible for it didn't have to do it, but they still did it because they wanted to.

"I just found out that even the always-serious Malak is hoping for something positive for the first time!"

The same mischievous voice from before exclaimed in happiness before the wind settled down, revealing the people at the center of the disturbance.

The owner of the naughty voice from before was a small boy, or so he looked.

He was wearing an all-black assassin dress that covered most of his skin, the only parts that could be seen were his palms and face.

On the skin of his palm, there was some intricate runic tattoo; it seemed to be glowing before, but it was dimming down right now.

Those dimming tattoos were probably the reason for his being able to hide his presence from the asura.

His skin color was grey, but with his cute face, child-like body, and silver eyes filled with mischievous light, the boy looked like a cute little boy instead of the bloodthirsty demon he was.

However, he was not alone. He was hiding with another person, a lady with grey hair and cold red eyes standing beside him.

So, when he revealed himself, the lady was revealed as well.

The lady, right now, was staring at the vampire and the asura with her cold, red eyes without saying a word.

However, none of them seemed to mind it, as they knew that her eyes were always like that.

"Didn't you guys say that you were going back?"

The asura, who was called Malak by Nyxshadow—the stealth demon or an Umbryss—questioned with a frown.

"We did, but-"

However, before Nyxshadow, or as people close to him called him, Nyx, could reply, someone else did.

"Didn't you say that this summoning would never succeed?"

The lady, wearing a grey gown and fitting her body perfectly, spoke as she stared right into Malak's eyes.

The lady was beautiful, to say the least, and her cold and emotionless face didn't diminish her beauty, rather, it amplified it.

She was a human, but unlike a normal human, she was a necromancer.

Just like the other three here, she was a demon army general.

And she had the power to support the general position.

The mere fact that she was the general in the demon army, even though she was a human, spoke a lot about her power and personality.

What the lady didn't notice was that the moment she cut Nyx's words, Nyx's eyes had turned lifeless, losing all the light inside of them, and he was staring at her right now.

Nyx's right hand slowly started inching toward his waist, where a shining black and ominous-looking dagger was hanging.

But before he could reach it, his eyes snapped toward the lady's shadow, and he saw two red eyes, filled with killing intent, staring at him.

Those eyes looked at him as if daring him to take out that dagger and attack, but Nyx wasn't a fool.

He blinked his eyes, and the next instant, they were gone, but by now, the light in his lifeless eyes was slowly returning.

"...."

Malak turned his eyes toward the lady and then stared at her.

He didn't say anything, and neither did the lady.

Her question meant one thing.

'You were the one who was against the summoning, saying that it would never work but now you're accepting that you believe in the summoning, so why does it matter if we went out and came back again?'

And Malak didn't have an answer to that.

"Are we having a staring competition?!"

Nyx, whose eyes had returned to their bright and happy state, looked at the scene happening and started jumping on his spot.

He was excited about the fact that a fight could break out at any moment.

But he was ignored.

He was just like that, finding fun in every situation, though his fun was not something that others would consider fun.

At least not his victims...

The lady, ignoring Nyx's comment, stared back at Malak. Both Malak and the lady had never been on good terms for some unknown reason.

No one knew the reason...

Well, other than the lady, Malak, and maybe the vampire, at least.

Unknowingly, the temperature of the room started to heat up.

"Hey, hey, guys. Calm down!"

But before anything happened, the vampire stepped between them.

"Come on, Morven.

You know that he hates it when someone stares into his eyes, so why are you doing it?

Just leave the topic."

The vampire uttered those words with a smile as he stood between Morven, the human lady, and Malak.

"Valerius…."

Morvan muttered the vampire's name and stared into his eyes with the same cold look.

But not for long...

*Step*

She took a step back.

Malak was different, and Valerius was different; she knew that.

She won't forget who Valerius was, no matter how much he smiles.

Valerius's smile widened before he turned toward Malak.

"Let's get to the summoning now that they are here."

Valerius beamed as he looked into Malak's eyes.

"All right."

Malak nodded his head with a single word.

"Yeah! Tell us what we have to do!"

Nyx also chimed in with a huge smile on his face before he turned toward Morvan.

"Please don't cut my words next time, big sister Mor."

Nyx still had the same bright and mischievous smile on his face, but his silver eyes had now turned dead again.

However, before Morvan could say something, Nyx was right in front of her, staring into her cold eyes with his dead eyes as he added.

"Keep your pets in control as well."

He muttered those words, and his smile, for the first time, left his face.

Morvan wasn't affected by any of those; she didn't even blink her eyes and just nodded her head.

She side-stepped and moved toward the magic circle, just like Malak and Valerius.

Nyx stared at Movan's back with the same dead eyes before the mischievous light returned to those silver eyes of his along with the wide smile as he started skipping toward the magic circle with a smile as well.
