A Summoning Zone was a special zone where the spatial barriers were significantly weaker than other zones. Any creature living in these zones could be summoned and were able to respond to summons from a different world.
The summoner would open up a dinsional passage with a sacrificial rite where an offering or mana was offered up in order to summon the target to the summoners side temporarily. However, this is not to say that only creatures within this zone could be summoned.
In actuality, any creature could be summoned as long as one possessed the na of the target or a personal belonging of the target to use as a dium to summon the target. However, this requires a large amount of mana in order to tear through the dinsional barrier. Furthermore, the summoned target might ask for an offering of sorts.
These zones have existed since ancient tis and despite our attempts at researching them, we havent managed to understand their construct. However, our ancestors have long since managed to attain the coordinates of the summoning zone within Hell. And thus, summoning as an art was born.
Theoretically, anything can be summoned as long as one possessed the coordinates, however, there has always been an unresolved question plaguing the school of summoners: why cant we summon human beings (This includes demihumans such as elves, dwarves, orcs etc.)

Numila had been stumped by my question. Evidently, her subordinates wanted to leave this place as well, but the guardians were simply too terrifying for them. While she maintained her silence, Mo En took the opportunity to crawl up to us like a puppy. He looked up at with a silly grin on his face, all the while maintaining his crawling position.
Theres ample food here, why leave?
Ample foodthats only from your perspective. As the highest power within this prisons system, your livelihood is pretty much guaranteed as long as you dont rouse the other four-stars. However, dont you find it depressing to be constantly surrounded by these bones?
Theres nothing but bones in this maze. Dont you wish to see the outside world?
My first impression of Mo En was, unfathomable. Theres no way soone as powerful as him would be sounmotivated
Truth be told, while it might seem that I was trying my best to invite him, this offer was at best, a probing one. I had already expected him to reject it before I even opened my mouth.
As expected, he nonchalantly rolled his eyes as he glanced over . He continued in blase drawl: I dont find it boring. After all, I have a thod to visit the human world so I dont care about this.
Human world?! Did you just say that you could visit the human world? My heart pounded as a rush of blood blocked out all propriety. Without regard for our difference in status, I imdiately pressed him, Youre really able to visit the human world?
Of course. He nodded his head in a matter-of-fact manner. As he did so, he turned his nose up, thoroughly pleased with himself.
Is that world called the Western Human Realms?
Is there any other human world other than the Western Human Realms? He scratched his head, a look of confusion flashing across his face as he turned to . How do you know that the human world is called the Western Human Realms?
Thats none of your business. I just want to know how did you get there?
Get summoned there of course.
Summon If Im not mistaken, there were a number of occultists in the Western Human Realms. While theres no law against practising the devil arts, this occupation wasnt looked upon favorably. This discrimination coupled with the lack of talent has resulted in their numbers being relatively small.
However, given the vastness of the human population, even a small percentage was a sizeable number.
My nest is built in a summoning zone after all.
Summoning zoneaccording to my inherited mory, as long as one stayed in the summoning zone, there was a chance of being summoned by a summoner in a different world. Naturally, the circumstances of this summoning depended on the strength difference between the two parties.
If the summoned party was significantly weaker than the summoner, the summoned party could be forcibly contracted. If it was the reverse, the success of the summoning ritual depended entirely on the mood of the summoned party.
Long story short, as long as I stayed in his nest, theres a chance I might get summoned to the Western Human Realms!
Mo En, I wish to visit your nest! My eyes practically shone as I exclaid.
Who knew that this midget would end up providing such valuable information to . If I managed to get summoned back to the Western Human Realms, the first thing I would do is find Nicole, check up on her and if
Ah, Im getting ahead of myself here, I still dont know if he will accept my request. If its really not possible, I dont mind seducing his granddaughtersassuming they arent ugly
no problem, but you have to marry my granddaughter.
Sure, no problem. However, let be clear about this, if your granddaughter isnt to my liking, I wont pull any punches.
Mhm, thats fine, my granddaughter is SUPER cute, youll definitely like her. Seeing finally agree made him ecstatic. Two seconds later however, his elation was replaced with confusion as he scratched his head and asked : Werent you opposed to the marriage just a while ago? Why the sudden change of heart?
He agreed!
Leave these matters to the adults, kids like you dont have to know about it. Just go play with so eggs in a corner. Having taken a crucial step in returning to the human world, the heat of the mont ended up getting the better of .
Just as those words left my mouth, my heart sank.
Who was Mo En? He was the leader of 2,000 devils, thats who! He was also a four-star expert and was rumored to have a four-star primal lust demon as his wife! Even his wife was able to crush a million tis over and I actuallywill he change his mind and eat instead?
Oh, well I wont ask then. He reacted blandly or perhaps I should say he didnt react to it at all.
:
Dont tell hes truly a retard
Having settled this issue with Mo En, I turned back to Numila.
Entering the Western Human Realms via the summoning zone isnt guaranteed to work. Without a nad summoning, getting summoned was solely a matter of chance. Thus, my offer still stands. I wont give up on assaulting the exit of this maze. You should give it so thought once you go back. Ask your harpies if they are willing to spend their lives rotting away in this damned maze.
Thats all Ill say for now. Once the ti is right, Ill find you again. In the anti, I hope you will restrain your subordinates and ensure that they wont attack the demonic werewolves and the other races under . After all, we might just beco allies in the near future.
She paused for a mont before finally nodding her head. As she peered at , her eyes belied the complex mix of thoughts and emotions within her.
As the guardian of her clan, she had a mountain of secrets and issues to handle. Her duty was to ensure the survival of her clan but as a creature with wings, she had her own innate desires as well. She wanted to fly underneath the vast boundless skies, bask in the warmth of the sun as she soared through the blue horizon. From the mont she accepted the role as guardian of her clan, her clan had turned into a chain, binding her down.
Theres no way she didnt dream of her own freedom one day. After all, even a shut-in like needed a computer and a LAN cable, let alone this harpy witch who was born to take to the skies.
And so, she left. At the sa ti, the slothful Mo En left as well. The plan was to first hand in my completed quest at the temporary camp of the werewolves and dusas. After which, Ill lead my subordinates to Mo Ens nest.
Without Numilas interference, our trip was an uneventful one. The occasional undead we encountered were swiftly taken care of by Manasha with their souls handed over to .
Throughout the trip, I sat atop Habonas shoulders, mulling over the issue of assaulting the exit point. Mo En was still an unknown but Numilas participation was basically a given by now. The werewolves had agreed to join in once I et their terms and so all that remained were the dusas.
Majosha.
The couple were busy flirting with each other when I called out to her. She imdiately turned around and asked: How may I help you?
Its like this. Im sure you know about that matter I discussed with Numila, and so I wish to ask you, what are you and your sisters reasons for staying here? Is it to protect the clan?
Thats right. We have no males in our clan after all. Furthermore, we dont have the best of reputations and have garnered a lot of enemies over ti. Not only that, our pregnancy period is rather long. Coupled with the fact that this maze doesnt produce food, our numbers havent been able to increase for a long ti. Without the protection of both of us, the others wont be able to hold on for long.
So you know that your reputation is crap as wellspeaking of which, where did this ridiculous custom of eating your husband because youre afraid of him, co from? Isnt that going overboard!
I just wont feel comfortable if I dont tsukkomi this glaring issue!
If, and I an if, I ask you guys to join in assaulting the exit point, would you all agree?
Tsukkomi aside, this matter wasnt one that brooked any sloppiness.
She looked at before turning back to face the mostly recovered Harlow: Harlow, are you going as well?
Yes, Sis just told about the conditions of the deal. Grandpa agreed to Lady Lust Demons deal in exchange for saving . Now that Ive been rescued, its ti for us to fulfill our end of the bargain. During her assault on the exit point, us werewolves will be there as well.
As he said this, a distinct fire could be seen within his eyes. He confidently smiled and said: Besides, Ive always wanted to see the world outside of this prison. Even if I break through to four-stars, I still wont be able to leave this place due to my clan commitnts.
Normally, the issue of leaving without breaking through to four-star is a dead subjectbut now, things are different. Lady Lust Demons appearance has given a chance at a new life. Truth be told, my biggest wish in life is to leave this prison and lead a life in Abaddon!
Harlow, youre so ambitious! Thats what I love about you! Your bravery! The couple entered into their own world once more as Majosha expressed her wholehearted support for him in a slightly submissive way: I feel like Im in love with you all over again!
Haha, its not that great, Im just a little braver than others, hahahaha He flashed an honest smile as he scratched his head shyly.
Well, thats a load off my shoulders. Initially, I was worried about what to do if your relationship ended up falling apart.
By the way, is it really okay to be so loving in front of a 45 year old bachelor like ? Havent you heard that PDAs are a quick route to death?! And, whats that about my gender!
Can you not call Lady Lust Demon. Ive said this multiple tis already, Im a guy.
Guy?
Silly, guy ans male.
Ah, so Lady Lust Demon is a male. He slapped his head in realization. However, a look of confusion returned to his face rely a second later. But I dont sll a males scent on Lady Lust Demon!
I said Im a guy so Im a guy, a potato like you shouldnt worry about all these unnecessary things.
But a scent will never lie
Ive said so already, Im a guy. Just trust on this.
But I trust my nose more
:
I really wanted to slap this stubborn wolf right now but in the face of his adorably stupid and innocent expression, I changed my mind in the end.
Honest people are such a pain sotis
