The summoning he was aiming for didn't use his pure strength or energy brimming inside his body to call upon his master, but it uses his soul force; a very rare and unique form of strength that usually needed a long ti to be replenished.
Any weakening to the soul force for anyone would result in him getting greatly weakened. That was the reason behind his hesitation, but as the system was so confident in helping and protecting him, then he had to give it a shot.
"I will bleed myself, but not for your sake, but for my own summoning. When I give you the signal, then you can have the blood you want," Arthur said as he slowly moved his claw to injure his leg, creating a long gush of fresh red blood oozing out from the wound.
He knew his body would heal spontaneously if not for that sealing power and oppressive force he was subjected to. And he didn't care, as he needed this blood now to do the needed rituals.
Like anything he knew of, he had to use runes to do the summon. "Considering the identity of the person I want to summon, I will use this entire world as a huge rune to call upon him," he muttered before writing down his own na; Arthur, and next to it he wrote another word; Soul!
If at any other ti, he wouldn't take a minute to do it, but now he took five! When he finished, the two words were written largely at the ground, while the system asked in surprise:
"Ding!You used another na than Willy?"
Arthur found this question silly enough to reply upon, as he was quite sure the system was already peeping a lot in his mind and thoughts; finding about his true self wasn't that hard. "I'm ready," he muttered as he wrote the final word; Summon.
"Ding! You didn't write the na of the master!"
"Despite it might seem silly but I don't really know his na. So, I will go with the second best option here."
"Ding! Which is?"
"Picturing his two giant frightening eyes and hope this might work."
"Ding! You use a lot of hope recently in this plan!"
"I know, but at least we have a plan here, right?"
"…"
"Stop wasting ti and take my blood, my body is really at its limits!" Arthur hurried the system despite he wasn't that crushed over yet. He didn't want to be so wasted when fighting these heads of the great dark clans.
The next mont he noticed the disappearance of a large portion of the small lake created by his own blood. "You said five drops, not five cubic ters!" he smirked, trying to cater a joke.
"Ding! A cubic ter is considered a decent drop for the large pillars, don't you think?"
"…"
He went silent while he tried to stop the bleeding using his claw. He didn't wait for long, and even before his system could inform him about the success of the linking process, he already felt a deep rumble within his soul.
"Ding! The linking is complete, you can now summon them by placing your hand over your… pool of blood."
"I know," Arthur said, as he suddenly felt so power entering his body, refreshing up his soul. "Did you know these pillars were so helpful to the soul? Was this the backing you were speaking of?" he asked, and the system mysteriously replied:
"Ding! You will see for yourself soon enough. hurry, the creature is almost summoned, and summoning your master will take much ti that you think."
Arthur knew the system wasn't bluffing, as it was the first ti in his entire life; past and present, to use this thod of summoning. He sighed, as he said:
"I will start the summon first, then bring forth my pillars."
"Ding! Both are fine to , do as you wish but hurry."
Arthur nodded, as he simply moved away his claw from the wound and then placed it in the middle of the three words, while muttering:
"Soul Summon Array… Activate!"
At this mont he paused to picture the eyes of his master. It was said to make the summon easier and raise the odds of its success, one better to experience the feeling he felt with that person.
And currently he was suppressed by similar strength to his master, even if it was much weaker, but this helped him a lot in perfectly picturing the eyes and the pressure they brought upon the world.
The mont he activated the array, he felt like his soul was being drained, dripping drop by drop with each passing mont, with each drop a feeling of weakness started to slash his body heavily, making him shudder!
And just as he was experiencing this weakness that he never had before, he understood why there was such a warning beside this technique; not to be used by weak souls, not to be used ever if there was another option.
"Sigh, I will depend on you then to protect ," Arthur weakily muttered to his system, as he felt his eyelids starting to get so heavy to open.
"Ding! You will help yourself, yourself!"
Arthur was getting into another world at this mont, so he didn't fully understand the hidden anings of the system reply.
However the next mont he felt exactly what the system ant!
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
.
.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
Ninety three explosive sounds erupted suddenly inside his soul without warning! Each explosion created a new fountain where fresh and pure strength started to pour into his dried up soul; rapidly refreshing it again.
In less than a minute, the almost fainted and about to collapse Arthur was revived, with much more energy and vitality than he ever had in his entire life!
"What the hell happened?!!!" he was extrely shocked, not only to bypass and cure the side effects of this summoning technique, but also because the gains he had were unbelievable!
His soul wasn't the only thing benefitted from this, as his entire body and his whole strength got decent upgrades, making him now able to stand, straighten up his arched back, resisting the force subjected over him like it was getting weaker; however his body was the one getting stronger.
"Ding! No ti to explain, focus on the summoning.. When you reach master, hurry and summon the pillars to aid him."
