Chapter 428 : The Fourth Spirit Summoning
Chapter 428 : The Fourth Spirit Summoning
The next day, in the morning.After resting for the whole day yesterday, the fatigue Janna had accumulated from the 【Transfiguration Trial】 was finally swept away, and her mental state also became unusually refreshed.
Making use of the morning, Janna went once again to the package storage of White Coral Academy, retrieving a tightly wrapped parcel sent from “Watermarsh Auction House & Jarvis Roland.”
This parcel was precisely the supreme Elemental Essence that Jarvis Roland had promised Janna earlier—once the Watermarsh Auction House acquired such a treasure, he would sell it to her at a specially discounted price.
In fact, when Janna left the Watermarsh Wizard Gathering Place previously, Jarvis Roland had already gifted her with an entire set of supreme Elemental Essences.
Among those supreme Elemental Essences were even the rare Light and Dark Elemental Essences.
However, since the corresponding 【Elemental Planes】 of Light and Dark were exceptionally high-level planes, if Janna wanted to summon elemental creatures from there to form a contract with her, she would at least need to master the 【Advanced Spirit Summoning】 Ritual.
And at White Coral Academy, high-level wizard knowledge was generally not taught to outsiders.
Aside from the Light and Dark Elemental Essences, Janna had already fed the Water, Fire, and Plant Elemental Essences to her contracted creatures. In the end, the only ones remaining in her possession were the Wind and Earth Elemental Essences··
"Hu一—"
As Janna stepped out of the package storage’s door, a cold wind mixed with snow struck her face “mercilessly,” making her cheeks sting as if pierced by needles.
Yet at that moment, Janna didn’t bother to put on her Wizard Hood, but instead directly cast the 【Psychology Invisibility】 Witchcraft, reducing her presence as much as possible.
Today, she finally understood why so many people had come looking for her in the past few days—the root cause lay in the recent newspaper headlines.
Although Turin Wizard Gathering Place and the Elemental Soul Wizard Gathering Place were far apart, the speed of news spread far exceeded Janna’s expectations.
The news that Janna had won the championship in the 【Andrew-Gamp Transfiguration Trial】 had been published in the local newspapers of Turin Wizard Gathering Place almost the very same day.
Because of this, when Janna appeared at White Coral Academy this morning, greetings from other apprentices came surging at her like waves, even causing “traffic congestion” in the academy.
Thus, what should have been a five-minute walk ended up taking her half an hour. By the time she returned to her dormitory, it was already past nine—
"Looks like I’ll have to lower my appearances outside for a while."
Removing her Wizard Robe and placing the parcel on the workbench, Janna also tidied up her slightly messy hair. Then, she went to the refrigerator, took out a slice of honey bread and black coffee, and counted that as her breakfast.
"It’s about time to begin."
After finishing her simple breakfast, Janna quickly retrieved all the ritual materials for 【Spirit Summoning】 from the 【Thorn Bracelet】 and skillfully completed the entire setup.
"The quality of this Elemental Essence looks pretty good."
Once the ritual was arranged, Janna unwrapped the parcel from Jarvis Roland and saw inside a supreme Ice Elemental Essence sealed tightly, radiating chilling frost.
A few days ago, before returning to Turin Wizard Gathering Place, Janna had already thought carefully about which elemental spirit she would summon this time with the 【Spirit Summoning】 Ritual.
At first, she had wanted to summon an Earth Elemental Spirit. After all, as a Summoning-type apprentice, Janna’s Constitution was always relatively weak, while the Earth Elemental Spirit’s defensive power rivaled that of Guardian-type apprentices, providing her excellent protection.
However, the 【Stellar Guardian】 Witchcraft gifted by Professor Uta had already compensated for her defensive shortcomings.
So later, she considered summoning a Wind Elemental Spirit. After all, her flying speed had always been slow when she transformed into 【Butterfly Wing Form】, which was another weak point.
But ever since she had mastered the 【Oak Dryad Form】, the issue of flight speed had also been resolved.
In the end, Janna decided to summon an elemental spirit capable of maintaining combat ability even under extreme environments—especially in extreme cold.
Back when she was in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm belonging to the Rose Family, Janna had realized that none of her contracted creatures possessed the ability to fight long-term in freezing environments.
Even 【Thundercloud】, with its dual Water and Lightning elements, could not withstand the low temperatures of extreme cold.
Thus, to ensure she could fight normally in freezing conditions, Janna decided to use the supreme Ice Elemental Essence to summon an Ice Elemental Spirit··
"Hu一" Once everything was ready, Janna took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Next, she placed the Spiritual Candle in the center of the round mirror. As its flame flickered to life, Janna decisively used the sterilized Mithril Short Knife to gently cut a three-centimeter wound in the palm of her left hand, letting crimson blood drops roll down onto the Silver Mirror.
Drip drip—drip drip—
Blood droplets rolled down, sliding across the mirror’s surface. Seeing the crimson already covering the mirror, Janna quickly picked up the Supreme Ice Elemental Essence and gripped it tightly in her palm.
“Great Lord of the Spirit Realm, You are the Ruler of the Vast Astral Realm. Please hear my will and bestow Your boundless might—Spirit Realm’s Gate, open!”
With the final chant, the candle flames surged higher.
As Janna recited the Mykethan incantation in an exceptionally solemn voice, the molten wax streamed swiftly down the candle, mingling with Janna’s fresh blood.
“Spirit Phase Travel一—”
Once the round mirror successfully connected with the Spirit Realm, Janna, already well-versed in the ritual process, swiftly activated the 【Spirit Phase Travel】 talent.
Hum一—
As the talent activated, the light upon the round mirror suddenly flared. Along with the familiar sensation of weightlessness, dazzling rainbow-colored brilliance reflected constantly within Janna’s pupils.
What followed immediately was the buzzing whispers in her ears, quickly devouring Janna’s Soul Vision, plunging her into a silent darkness.
“Success.”
Opening her eyes again, seeing before her an entirely silver-white world covered in snow and ice, Janna, knowing the ritual had succeeded, finally allowed herself to relax·—
