21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 503 - 499: Summoning the Soul (Please subscribe, request monthly tickets)

When Yu Chen returned to the room with Hiromi Jounouchi and Misumi Mikoto, it was clear the owner and his daughter, who hosted his wife's soul, had already talked, and both seemed much relieved.

"Doctor Chen Yu, thank you for giving me this opportunity to face my past, thank you." Upon seeing Yu Chen enter, the owner bowed to him, expressing his gratitude.

The recent talk with his wife allowed the owner to finally release the long-held sorrow and frustration in his heart, making him feel much lighter.

The daughter, bearing the mother's soul, also bowed to Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi. "I'm truly grateful to both of you for giving me this chance to have this face-to-face conversation with Heisuke... Thank you so much!"

Even though their long-standing emotional knots had been untied after the conversation, their emotions clearly had not yet settled down.

"You're welcome, as long as you don't mind us meddling," Yu Chen said in response to the owner and his wife's soul. "Settle your emotions. The ritual is about to begin, and if all goes well, you'll be able to see your daughter again soon."

Hearing this, the owner and the soul occupying his daughter's body who had relaxed became tense again, and hastily straightened their attires. Seeing their daughter again after so many years was too meaningful for both of them.

Yu Chen waited until both were ready, then gestured for them to step aside to begin the ritual.

However, just as Misumi Mikoto was setting up the camera to capture the ritual's summoning, she was surprised to find that it was Hiromi Jounouchi, not Yu Chen, standing before the magic circle.

"Don't be surprised. Hiromi's strength is not less than mine. It makes no difference whether she conducts the ritual or I do," Yu Chen noticed his apprentice's astonishment and explained before also stepping aside, prepared to watch Hiromi Jounouchi carry out the summoning.

This was Hiromi Jounouchi's first time leading such a summoning ritual, especially with so many onlookers, which brought considerable pressure. However, she quickly steadied her emotions, reached towards the magic circle on the floor, activated it with her magic power, and began chanting the spell.

Despite a touch of nervousness, for someone of Sub-Legendary, Dragon-descent strength, a soul summoning ritual was hardly difficult, and so Hiromi Jounouchi smoothly guided the entire ritual, calling on the owner's daughter's soul.

But perhaps because the daughter had been dead for too long, Hiromi Jounouchi maintained the ritual without sensing the presence of her soul.

"Mr. Yu Chen, how large is the range of this magic array? Why can't I find the owner's daughter's soul?" Hiromi Jounouchi asked while maintaining the ritual, still having the energy to question Yu Chen.

"Not found? Impossible. I've adjusted this magic array specifically for an expanded sensing range. It covers the entire Tokyo Metropolis. She shouldn't be missing," said Yu Chen, moving beside Hiromi Jounouchi and channeling his own magic power into the magic circle, joining her in manipulating it, trying to locate the owner's daughter.

Seeing this scene, the owner's expression immediately tightened, reminiscent of the powerless feeling he had more than a decade ago as he watched his wife and daughter lying in the hospital bed after a car accident.

It was then that the wife, who was occupying her daughter's body, suddenly spoke up, "Could it be that Minami isn't in Tokyo? When we had the accident, we were visiting relatives, and the location of the accident was quite a distance from Tokyo."

Hearing what the boss's wife had said, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi exchanged glances, realizing this was an issue they had overlooked.

"It seems we have no choice but to increase the magical power output to forcibly expand the magic circle's sensing range," Hiromi Jounouchi, with the power of a giant dragon, naturally had the standard magical strength of a dragon, and this was the most direct method for her to solve the problem.

Yu Chen's idea was different from hers; after a moment of consideration, he said, "Hiromi, you provide the magical power, and I'll adjust the spell structure of the magic circle. Since magnification isn't working, let's use projection."

"Projection? Are you suggesting concentrating the power of the magic circle and then using the moon as a medium to project it, thereby covering a larger area?" Hiromi Jounouchi was naturally aware of this method. Although it would weaken the summoning effects of the ritual, it would indeed be able to maximize the ritual's response range.

Theoretically, as long as the ritual's spellcasters are strong enough, they could even make the ritual's response range cover all places illuminated by moonlight.

And Hiromi Jounouchi was certainly strong enough to meet these criteria. However, her ability to manipulate was not up to adjusting the magic circle during the ritual, "Mr. Chen Yu, can you adjust the magic circle during the ritual?"

"No problem, trust me," Yu Chen said and then reached out to summon his "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," starting to adjust the runes of the magic circle with the help of the power of this Divine Artifact-grade magic book.

Seeing Yu Chen begin his work, Hiromi Jounouchi naturally could not afford to fall short at such a moment. However, instead of summoning "Crimson Hymn," she called upon Xiao Lan, using its power to start pouring magic power into the magic circle at full force.

Watching from the side, Misumi Mikoto felt the formidable strength emanating from both Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, and she truly grasped just how powerful a Necromancer could be. Compared to them, her meager magic power was like the difference between a small stream and a surging river.

Under Misumi Mikoto's watchful eye, the magic runes previously drawn on the ground began to change and shift. She hurriedly filmed the scene with her camera, as this live teaching material was extremely rare and valuable.

Soon, Yu Chen had adjusted the magic circle to its ideal state, and by then, the magical power provided by Hiromi Jounouchi made every single line of the whole magic circle shine as bright as an incandescent lamp, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

The vast magical power flowed through the magic circle, and even Yu Chen felt slightly overwhelmed by the feeling that it was almost beyond his control. The power had reached a Legendary standard.

Faintly feeling it slipping from his grasp, Yu Chen hurriedly directed the magical power towards the moon in the sky, projecting it through the moon as a reflective surface, casting the ritual's power to wherever the moonlight could reach.

Of course, that was just an exaggerated way of putting it. Though Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi had reached Legendary standards by joining forces, their power was still somewhat limited, capable only of expanding the ritual's response range to cover the entire Japan.

In such circumstances, a young girl's soul was finally found by them and appeared within the magic circle.
