28.
The beings of Pandemonium, the only sanctuary in the underworld, made contracts with those who possessed dark magic and could use dark sorcery, lending them their power.
In exchange, they took dark magic, which was their staple food, so summoning itself was an enormously energy-consuming task for dark sorcerers.
Especially since I had summoned the King of Pandemonium when I first learned summoning techniques due to my exceptionally strong dark magic, every time I called that guy, almost all my dark magic would drain out and I would inevitably collapse.
Fortunately, most of the time I collapsed after all dangerous situations had ended, so I hadn’t been in any real danger until now.
“What is… that…?”
Theor, who had been fighting the ancient monster for a while, looked at Pandeum with surprised eyes and asked me.
With that personality, he definitely would have told Theor to get out of the way and not interfere, so I smiled awkwardly and said to him.
“It’s a summoned creature that doesn’t listen to me.”
“A summoned creature?”
Theor turned his head sharply to look at me with surprised eyes.
“Yes, I learned summoning along with dark magic… Ah, darkness attribute doesn’t have separate summoning, does it?”
“What is summoning?”
At my words, Theor looked at me with puzzled eyes and asked.
Come to think of it, summoning would be unfamiliar to the nobles here.
However, though different in nature from dark magic but similar in appearance, there was a part in the latter half of the original story where the Dark Sorcerer of this place summoned the King of Monsters, so it wasn’t a completely nonexistent ability here either.
I decided to take this opportunity to explain summoning in detail to Theor, hoping it would be of some help when the Dark Sorcerer appeared later.
Of course, I couldn’t mention the underworld called Pandemonium from my original world, or that the beings living there survived by eating dark magic and made summoning contracts, so I spoke vaguely but in a way that would be easy to understand.
“It’s a summoned creature I happened to get to know, a being that lives by eating my dark magic.”
Of course, he had his own staple food, but the desire to keep eating delicious food is the same for all living beings, so Pandeum also liked eating dark magic, I said, explaining that this was how my contract with Pandeum began.
“Anyway, I give that guy my dark magic as food, and in return, he fights for me.”
“Ah.”
“So don’t worry and just watch. That guy is stronger than anyone else in the world called Pandemonium where he lives. Because he’s the one and only king of Pandemonium.”
At my words, Theor’s eyes widened slightly.
He seemed surprised that I had the ability to summon the King of Pandemonium.
I thought that if I could reveal that I was a possessor much later, I should let Theor know how strong and capable a dark sorcerer I was among dark sorcerers.
With such thoughts, I was watching Pandeum battle the ancient monster.
But something was strange.
With Pandeum’s power, he should be able to subdue that ancient monster instantly and turn it into an ancient monster stone, but for some reason, the battle kept going with him being pushed back.
Theor seemed to notice this too, as he asked me with a worried expression.
“Is he really the strongest king from that Pandemonium place or whatever? At this rate, he’s going to die.”
‘What’s this, is he unable to use his power properly because it’s not my body?’
Without realizing it, I clicked my tongue in annoyance with a “tch,” and helped Pandeum by drawing attack and defense formulas in sequence with my finger that still had blood pooled on it.
Seeing this, Theor also ran toward Pandeum and fought the ancient monster with his long shadow sword.
Pandeum’s expression showed his pride was slightly wounded by me and Theor interfering, but perhaps recognizing that it was too much for him alone, he began to continue the battle in coordination with Theor.
Fortunately, with the combination of me, Theor, and Pandeum, we were able to defeat the ancient monster.
I quickly picked up the golden ancient monster stone left where the ancient monster had fallen and tucked it into my inner pocket rather than my bag.
Theor looked at me doing this, and I smiled as if to say not to worry and told him.
“I’ll sell this separately and split it half and half with you, so don’t worry.”
“Keep it all for yourself, it’s fine.”
[Just where did you summon me, master.]
At that moment, Pandeum, who had folded his massive black wings and landed on the ground, called me with a terrifyingly frowning face.
“Ah, I’ll explain. A lot of things have happened in the meantime.”
[Your appearance has changed.]
“Ah, that, really? Have I gotten prettier since we last met?”
I glanced at Theor and began talking with Pandeum in my mind.
‘I’ve been possessed, I died.’
‘What?’
At the news that my original self had died, Pandeum’s face hardened stiffly.
I told him that my close dark sorcerer friend, who had a contract with Demoheim, Pandeum’s friend and right-hand man, had betrayed me.
I continued, saying that after experiencing death by his hand, when I opened my eyes, I found myself possessed in this body, and fortunately, I could still use the dark magic I possessed, which is how I was able to summon Pandeum like this.
To this, Pandeum said that dark magic is a power that originates from the soul, so even if you die and enter another body, that power doesn’t disappear.
I asked back with a rather pleased expression if that was how it worked.
‘That’s fortunate to hear. But you, have you gotten weaker since I last saw you?’
At my question, Pandeum immediately contorted his face.
I liked his rather handsome face, but when he frowns like that, he looks like a thug, which is a bit much.
Maybe it’s because the epitome of handsomeness, Theor, is right next to him, but he somehow looks less handsome too.
‘Are you asking because you don’t know? Isn’t it because you summoned me from a different world, master.’
‘Huh? You became weak because I summoned you from a different world?’
‘Of course. This place isn’t the world where I made a contract with you, master, so while summoning is possible, I can’t use even half of half of my power that I could use through my contract with you.’
This is like a bolt from the blue, isn’t it? My eyes widened so much they seemed ready to pop out.
“Is that so? Then what do we do?!”
Without realizing it, I got excited and shouted out loud, causing Theor to look at me in surprise.
‘Ah.’
When I, flustered, looked at Theor with an awkward expression and smiled slightly, Theor’s lips moved as if he was about to say something.
At that moment, Pandeum frowned again and asked me.
‘Why are you asking me that, master.’
He’s getting angry in return, asking why I’m asking him when I’m the one who summoned him here.
At least he had the sense to still communicate through thoughts, which was fortunate.
‘No, first tell me in detail. So does that mean there’s no point in me summoning you?’
‘What do you mean there’s no point in you summoning me.’
‘Right now you’re damn weak. Weak enough that there’s no need to summon you.’
At my blunt words without a filter, Pandeum straightened his face and raised his eyebrows.
Well, it’s the truth.
When I wiggled one eyebrow with a ‘so what’ expression, Theor looked at me puzzledly.
Since we were having a conversation in our heads, to Theor’s eyes, it would just look like Pandeum and I were glaring at each other.
Anyway, I would eventually have to tell Theor my secret too, so I needed to set a date for that soon.
‘Anyway, since you’re the one who summoned me from another world without permission, it can’t be helped.’
‘What, then go back in. Don’t nibble away at my dark magic bit by bit.’
‘However, it’s not that there’s no way to restore my power.’
‘Really? What is it?’
At Pandeum’s words, my eyes naturally widened and I took a step closer to him to ask, when the flustered Pandeum took a step back and raised his hand to stop me from coming closer, saying.
[Talk from there, from there.]
Pandeum also seemed flustered and spoke out loud like I had done earlier.
At this, Theor looked back and forth between us.
I had no choice but to move my lips and speak.
“What, am I going to eat you?”
[Make a second contract with someone who has dark magic in this world.]
When I raised my eyebrows and asked irritably, Pandeum immediately got to the point.
“A second contract?”
[Yes, luckily I’m the strongest king in Pandemonium. Because of that, even if a contractor calls me to this place, I can come without any problem.]
“Oh, right. But that’s not because of you, it’s probably because I’m the strongest among dark sorcerers.”
[No, it’s because I’m the strongest in Pandemonium…]
“So, what’s this second contract with another human?”
Yes, yes. Pandeum, you’re incredibly strong.
I quickly mediated before he could start showing off unnecessarily.
At my question, Pandeum spoke about the method to fully use his power in this place with a quite serious expression.
[It’s exactly as I said. Make a second contract with a being from this place.]
‘But there are no other dark sorcerers here besides me?’
When I raised my eyebrows and spoke, Pandeum looked at Theor.
When I looked at Theor as well, Theor blinked his eyes in confusion at the sudden attention.
[This human has a delicious scent.]
“What?”
When Theor immediately frowned and looked at him at Pandeum’s words, Pandeum looked at him with a sincere expression and said.
[He smells much more delicious than my master. He definitely has dark magic several times better than my master’s.]
“What this person has isn’t dark magic but…”
‘It’s an attribute ability that only exists in this world.’
“It’s called darkness attribute, so it seems roughly similar to dark magic though…”
I spoke to Pandeum while keeping the words Theor shouldn’t hear in my head.
[Then I can eat it. Let’s make a contract, human.]
“No, this suddenly?”
I grabbed Theor’s wrist and hid him behind me to protect him from Pandeum, whose eyes were gleaming with desire toward Theor.
Even though I hid him behind me despite the height difference of about one and a half heads, I couldn’t avoid Pandeum’s glistening gaze toward Theor, but anyway, since I was standing between them, the disaster of Pandeum losing his reason to the delicious scent and stealing Theor’s darkness attribute wouldn’t happen.
Of course, Pandeum licking his lips and smacking them wasn’t exactly safe either.
I spoke seriously to Pandeum.
“Hey hey, no eating, wait, Pandeum.”
