American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"Shadow?"

Chu Xiu looked towards the shadow of the container.

With a thought,

That shadow immediately twisted.

Gradually solidified.

Finally turned into a soldier wielding dual blades.

The soldier was completely black, except for those dual blades, emitting a barely noticeable cold light.

"Come."

The shadow soldier communicated with Chu Xiu through their thoughts.

A thought.

The other party walked over.

Chu Xiu observed the shadow soldier up close, then reached his hand into it.

The next second, the shadow soldier disappeared, and the shadow transformed into a pitch-black sword, which Chu Xiu drew out.

"So this is your power, Sarko?"

"Indeed, very powerful."

Chu Xiu let go.

The sword instantly disappeared.

Transformed into a shadow and returned to its original position.

"Definitely."

Hearing Chu Xiu praise himself,

The shadow demon nodded in agreement.

It didn't realize that Chu Xiu had already started calling it by its name, but instead, it was very happy.

Because it would soon obtain the power of the demon!

The shadow demon didn't know why a human would possess such pure demonic power, pure enough to almost become the fundamental power of a dimension.

But it knew,

As long as it obtained this power,

It could break through the barrier between two dimensions.

Leading the shadow dimension to devour the hell dimension represented by this demonic power!

Once this happened!

"I will have the opportunity to ascend to the dimension lord!"

The shadow demon was extremely excited.

As if it had already seen the day when it became a dimension lord.

"Human, I have already given you a part of my power."

"Now it's your turn."

The shadow demon spoke.

But the response it received was silence.

"Where is it?"

"Where is the power you gave me?"

Chu Xiu shrugged.

The system prompt had already sounded in his ears.

[Ding!]

[Abnormal energy detected!]

[The exorcism system has successfully purified it for you!]

When this 'ding' sounded,

Chu Xiu knew that he no longer owed the shadow demon anything.

You said your power is inside me, right?

Then call it~

Let's see if it responds.

"I didn't just..."

The shadow demon suddenly froze.

Because it really couldn't sense its own power anymore!

On the body of this human in front of it, there was clearly a large amount of shadow power, but

But it seemed to have nothing to do with it anymore!

"You... You deceived me!?"

The belatedly angry shadow demon erupted, and the shadows of all the objects around it turned into countless terrifying monsters.

At first, Chu Xiu wanted to resist a bit.

To see if he could snatch control of the shadows around him from the shadow demon.

But obviously...

His power was just a tiny bit lacking.

"So you still had a trick up your sleeve, huh?"

Chu Xiu laughed and cursed.

"Hehe~"

"Foolish human!"

"Do you think I would give you all my power!?"

The shadow demon sneered, and all the monsters around them surrounded Chu Xiu.

"I will let you know what kind of consequences there are for deceiving a great dimensional Mephista..."

Before the word 'consequences' could be spoken,

A white light flashed.

Chu Xiu activated the exorcism array he had set up in advance.

System-produced~

As always, powerful.

Only a flash of white light was seen, and all the shadow monsters disappeared in an instant, along with the shadow demon.

"Heh~"

"You think you're the only one who has a trick up your sleeve?"

Chu Xiu clapped his hands.

There was not a trace of the shadow demon's presence around.

It was as if the other party had never appeared.

With the disappearance of the shadow demon, Chu Xiu instantly gained control over the shadows of all the surrounding objects.

"Dimension Mephista, huh?"

"You're not even a dimension lord, how dare you imitate Dormammu and the others?"

Thinking about how the shadow demon referred to itself as Dimension Mephista, Chu Xiu couldn't help but mock it in his heart.

Just then.

The system prompt sounded again.

[Ding!]

[Achievement unlocked: First time banishing a dimension demon!]

[Congratulations on receiving the achievement reward: Title - Heavenly Decree!]

(Entry 1: No need for rituals, your words are the law, speaking the demon's true name completes the summoning)

(Entry 2: The demon summoned by you has the right to refuse to come)

"So that means..."

"I don't need to mess with blood or body parts anymore, those messy sacrifices."

"Just knowing the name is enough?"

Seeing the description of the achievement reward, Chu Xiu's eyes lit up.

No need for sacrifices!

No need for rituals!

Doesn't that mean he can summon whoever he wants?

It wasn't until he saw the content of Entry 2 that Chu Xiu calmed down.

Well~

It's not like he can summon whoever he wants, it still depends on whether the other party is willing to come.

But no matter what...

This is much better than before!

"In that case, even if I can't understand the ancient parchment given by the Ancient One, I can still summon..."

Chu Xiu remembered the parchment given by the Ancient One that recorded the dimension lords.

It was filled with ancient pictographic characters.

Completely incomprehensible.

But now~

It doesn't matter if I can't understand, just knowing the name is enough.

"Oh right, what did the Ancient One call it, Kua... Kua Si?"

"No, no, Kua Ge? Kua Ge Si?"

Chu Xiu muttered to himself.

And just as he blurted out the three words "Kua Ge Si".

Boom!

An inexplicable pressure descended!

Countless tentacles and densely packed eyeballs!

Instantly filled the entire Warehouse!

Boundless terror!

Pressing in from all directions!

"Fuck!"

"I actually summoned it!?"

"I haven't even set up the demon banishing formation yet!"

Just as Chu Xiu was in a panic, preparing to set up the demon banishing ritual.

That terrible pressure disappeared in an instant.

Came fast.

Went fast too.

Those tentacles and eyeballs seemed to be just illusions.

All disappeared, and the Warehouse returned to its original state.

Kua Ge Si didn't appear at all.

"The Ancient One said this guy was sealed."

"It seems to be true."

Chu Xiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Damn, I almost summoned a dimension lord.

And without any preparation...

"I can't randomly call names in the future."

Chu Xiu, still trembling, shook his head and walked towards the exit of the Warehouse.

Just as he took a few steps out of the Warehouse.

"???"

"No, what's going on over there?"

"Where is this strong demonic power coming from?"

Chu Xiu had just stepped out of the Warehouse.

He immediately sensed the aura of demonic power coming from the New York City area.

And some of those auras... were quite familiar!

It seemed...

It seemed like the group of demons he had summoned before!
