135: Chapter 86 Lola 135: Chapter 86 Lola Leon put down the tools in his hands and gazed at the huge Magic Pattern Formation congealed on the smooth floor like wax, a sense of accomplishment welling up within him.
The Array drawn on the ground with specialized materials and instruments was truly beautiful.
“This time you won’t teach me the spell?”
“There’s no need, you only have to serve as the base point for the Netti Card summoning ceremony, allowing the Spiritual Body to anchor in reality, thus avoiding the fate of plunging into the Dead Sea.
The use of the spell is mainly for calling the summoned entity and forging the contract to compel it.”
Lola chuckled, “Of course, if you really want to summon me as your servant, you can try that.
But I can’t guarantee the consequences, oh~”
“With you saying that, how could I dare to try,” Leon got up.
Raising his hands, he clasped the golden Netti Card between his palms, struck a gesture resembling a variant of the “Yin Seal” from his past life as directed, and held it before his face.
He glanced at the Magic Array in front of him.
…Why does this feel eerily like a Heroic Spirit summoning?
Miss Lora would definitely be considered a Caster.
Too bad I don’t have the ability to be her Master.
Dispelling the whimsical musings from his past life from his mind, Leon closed his eyes, silently concentrating, “I’m ready.”
Leon didn’t need to do anything; the true conductor of this magic ceremony was the Miss Mage within him, his actual role was merely that of a symbolic “ornament” during the casting process.
In essence, what followed was Miss Lola summoning herself.
Radiance suddenly burst forth from the interlocking Arrays, the Magic Power from the surrounding environment was rapidly gathered by the ceremony, flowing towards the core of the Summoning Technique.
The ground trembled ever so slightly.
Brilliant patches of light bloomed from the tall tower windows.
Within the semi-transparent crystal card in Leon’s hand, a white glow gathered in dazzling splendor, outlining patterns…
Though his tightly closed eyes shut out his vision, the astonishing brightness beneath his eyelids still revealed a red translucence.
The solidifying Magic Power not only stirred the air around but allowed Leon to hear a sound like a rolling flame from within the Array before him.
The influence on the Magic Element inside him blurred Leon’s consciousness.
…A hazy voice echoed in his ears…
It was as if thousands of prayers were traversing the barrier of time and space.
Countless men and women.
An ageless and youthful chorus of chanters sounded like an unending ensemble…
He felt as if there were an unbearably bright orb in his mind…
growing more blinding…
His perception of time was stretched to an extreme.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
…A fiery whirlwind spread outward.
The sensation of the crystal card in his hands had long since vanished.
The suddenly dissipating pressure lightened Leon’s body, and his dazed consciousness was sharply awakened.
Instinctively opening his eyes, he beheld everything in front of him once more.
Golden halos of Magic Power dispersed through the air.
Snow-white hair as pure as the driven snow fluttered down in the dissipating magical breeze.
Eyes that shone like the sun, golden and regal.
A cloak of white and gold like an elegant gown, with deep blue crystal jewels adorning the chest of the robe.
Lola gently stroked the familiar Scepter in her arms, a beautifully ornamented, long-handled gold wand, leaning against the maiden’s arm.
(In Lorelette Language) “I didn’t expect even this to materialize.”
She marveled at the ingenious Magic Technique designed by Aphrodite.
Now it seemed that the card was definitely strong enough to contain her soul.
Leon looked somewhat stunned at the girl standing in the center of the Array, probing, “You…
you are Miss Lola, aren’t you?”
Lola looked up, a faint smile on her face: “Indeed, it’s me.” (In Felu Language)
While stunned by her beauty, Leon couldn’t help but scrutinize the silver-haired, white-robed maiden before him.
Although they hadn’t been together long since they woke up, it was primarily a one-sided observation by Miss Mage.
But now, for the first time and in the truest sense, he was face-to-face with her.
However, although Leon knew that appearance didn’t necessarily reveal her actual age, she indeed looked much younger than the Purple Robed Lady.
It’s hard to say who was older between the two.
Struggling to suppress the urge to ask about her real age in life, Leon spoke, “Does this count as you being resurrected now?”
Lola blinked, neither affirming nor denying, “That depends on how you define living.
My sensations are no different from those alive, but fundamentally, this body is still constructed by the Netti Card’s Magic Power and is not truly flesh.”
After speaking, Miss Mage lifted her hand and transformed the Magic Wand into dissipating particles of light, stepping away from the ceremony array and walking down.
Leon hurriedly followed her steps.
“I now constantly require power from the ley lines connected to this tower, and to avoid causing irreversible damage to the ley line, I cannot appear through the Netti Card for too long.”
“What will be your state once you end your appearance?
Will your soul be trapped in that card?” Leon asked.
“The Netti Card can anchor my soul, but its binding power over me is weak.
If the activation of this card ends, I can still return to your body.
Conversely, by reactivating the card from the ley line, I can also continue to respond to the summons and appear using the ley line’s power.”
Lola pushed open the door to the Mage Workshop and walked in.
“I see, you can move between my body and the card.”
Following behind Lola, Leon’s thoughts began to drift as he voiced the perplexity that had long been sprouting in his heart, “In that case, why did you first appear in this hunter young man’s body?
You’re so powerful, why didn’t you possess someone stronger?”
