As soon as Vale entered the room and locked the door, he immediately started working.

The room was quite small and was only about 16 square meters. There was also nothing inside as this place isn't meant for people who wanted to relax…

This room is used for practicing various Dark Arts that weren't heavily inclined toward offensive abilities.

This place is used to practice summoning undead, spreading curses, performing rituals, and others…

What Vale came here today was, of course, to summon a friendly spirit hoping that he'll get in contact with Lotus once again… It's even better if Lotus got summoned once again.

Apparently, he learned from Headmaster Jean that Lotus may not have died… She may have just returned to the Spirit World without his knowledge.

Of course, this is just a guess. Headmaster Jean wasn't sure about this since Lotus isn't really in her best shape after losing contact with the Spirit World.

Furthermore, Headmaster Jean doesn't have that much experience with Dark Spirit as well. His knowledge isn't that much better than Vale's since the Spirit World is still quite mysterious to all Arcane Paths.

Unfortunately, Vale already tried summoning a Dark Spirit 10 times but none of them had succeeded.

He repeated the same process during the monthly assessment only to fail continuously.

'Let me try one more time… If it still doesn't work, I'll make some huge changes to the ritual and prayer.' Vale thought as he continued moving to prepare the ritual.

He used the human bone powder to create the Animus Haven Magic Circle which is exactly the same powder he used to summon Lotus before. He had tried changing this ingredient but nothing worked. In the end, he wanted to see if he just have to be stubborn and keep using the same ingredient to get an answer.

After perfecting the magic circle for about 15 minutes, he then started his ritual.

He closed his eyes and clasped his hands as he cleared his mind before saying his prayer.

"Glorius Gates of the Spirit World. Hallowed Maker of the Soul Society. The Nameless Guardian of the Harbingers. I, a devout follower of the Eternal Darkness, wish to open the gates of the World of Spirits… I wish to call for a living spirit residing in your world that wants to befriend me."

After finishing these words, he didn't immediately open his eyes as he tried sensing his connection to the Spirit World.

He can feel the subtle link happening for a few seconds. Unfortunately, this link wouldn't last long as no one is answering him…

'Haa~ It's still the same… I wonder what's wrong.' Vale inwardly sighed as he opened his eyes.

He looked at the human bone powder and confirmed that it was burnt…

This proves that the Spirit World noticed his prayer. However, their answer is obviously a rejection of his request.

'I already tried changing the medium of sacrifice… Black Coil Candle, Scurvy Grass, Polecat Fennel, and some other materials…' Vale mused as he looked at his bag. It has a few bottles of human bone powder but he was hesitating whether he should try and get other expensive materials.

In the end, he just decided to modify his prayer and be a bit more aggressive with his prayer…

He used the bone powder once again but this time, he used two bottles to make a large magic circle… Furthermore, he started modifying his prayer as he considered what to say to attract the attention of the Spirit World's ruler.

Vale sighed as he shifted his attention to the other item in his bag…

It is a book that was disguised as a fantasy … It is The Forbidden Practice of the Unlighted that was left to him by his master…

He read some of its contents and one of the rituals in this book allows him to get an answer from the Spirit World… However, just like all the other contents of the book, this ritual has a backlash. It would consume his life force or in other words, his Vitality.

Vale bit his lips as he decided to open the book and read the ritual once again…

After spending 10 minutes to ensure that everything is perfect, Vale closed the book and hid it inside his bag once again.

He then took a deep breath as he sat cross-legged in front of the Animus Haven Magic Circle.

He then pulled out his prepared knife with his right hand before cutting his left palm.

"Thoeinsi, Zatriin, Posmese" 

Vale spoke with Oardic Language.

His blood dripped at the center of the circle… Then, the blood started spreading to the bone powder turning his white magic circle into a red one.

Vale can even see a faint glow on it even though he wasn't praying yet!

Furthermore, he already felt his connection to the Spirit World just by completing this action!

'This…'

The unusual phenomenon made Vale excited. This only strengthened his resolve to finish the ritual.

Vale clenched his fist as the blood stopped flowing… With his high vitality force, the wound he made will easily close. Furthermore, he triggered his Darkness Manipulation spell to cover his palm.

After taking a deep breath, Vale closed his eyes once again before saying his modified prayer.

"Glorius Gates of the Spirit World. Hallowed Maker of the Soul Society. The Nameless Guardian of the Harbingers. I, Vale Chambers, a devout follower of the Eternal Darkness, wish to open the gates of the World of Spirits… I wish to call for a living spirit residing in your world that wants to befriend me. Bring me the companion I sought for… Grant my wish and my blood offering is yours. Open the gates of the Spirit World or I'll seek help with the Ruler of the Darkness…"

This prayer wasn't forbidden for nothing…

As soon as he completed this prayer, he felt his soul and flesh being sucked into the Magic Circle he created.

It was alarming but he didn't panic.

Then, he felt his life force being taken away and heard an answer from the Spirit World…

Vale realized that another entered his room!

He didn't fail to notice this because his Phantasm State has been active all this time!

As he opened his eyes, he saw a huge Spiritual Being standing in front of him and looking at him coldly.
