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

[Herasdan - Moon Demon]

[A dimension demon with a human head and dragon body, capable of manipulating powerful moonlight energy...]

[Summoning method: Sacrifice during a total solar eclipse...]

Not finished yet.

Chu Xiu decisively flipped to the next page.

"Stupid thing!"

"And a total solar eclipse? Why don't you let me go out and check the almanac?"

If you have the time,

You might as well summon another hell demon!

Chu Xiu couldn't understand why the summoning rituals for these dimension demons were so complicated.

Complicated is one thing...

Some even require specific offerings!

And some are so particular, they require specific timing and locations!

Damn it!

No wonder you guys can't make it on Earth!

What about having a vision?

Look at the Dimension Emperor, does he need any offerings? Just recite a spell and you can contact him.

Speaking of the Dimension Emperor, Chu Xiu was taken aback.

It seems like this big shot hasn't established a magical connection with me either.

Oh well~

They're all clueless things.

While Chu Xiu was complaining, he continued to flip through the "directory" given by the Ancient One.

After reading a few pages, drowsiness gradually overwhelmed him.

"Let's see the last page, if it doesn't work, I'll just deceive again, no, summon a few more hell demons."

Ignoring his drowsiness, Chu Xiu turned the ancient book to the next page.

[Sarko - Shadow Demon]

[An evil spirit born in the shadow dimension, possessing powerful shadow magic, summoning shadow soldiers...]

[Summoning method: Arrange with human blood... invoke the true name in the shadows...]

"Wait."

"This one seems doable."

Chu Xiu's drowsiness vanished instantly.

He immediately sat up straight.

In the information about the Shadow Demon, it only mentioned "human blood," and there were no additional requirements.

Unlike some demons that require "virgin blood" or "the blood of a certain direct descendant."

The only problem is the quantity...

The required amount of blood could almost drain several adults.

Chu Xiu thought for a moment.

He felt that organizing a collective blood donation and drawing blood from magicians to summon demons in a place like Kamar-Taj...

This behavior...

The high emotional intelligence way to put it is... not very feasible.

To be more specific, it's just wishful thinking.

"It's just blood, there's plenty in hospitals, if all else fails, just buy some."

"Besides, there's no requirement for fresh blood."

Following the principle of fooling the client if possible, Chu Xiu quickly determined a solution - cash ability.

But he looked at his pocket, which was cleaner than his face.

"Emmmm..."

"Forget it, let's first get some demonic power from old friends."

Chu Xiu shrugged.

He put on the Sling Ring, casually opened a flame portal, and stepped into it.

...

One night passed.

Until the next morning.

The first ray of sunlight fell on the world's fifth highest peak, Mount Makalu.

The perennially frozen snow sparkled in the sunlight, and half of the mountain peak was reflected in golden color.

Except for the summit of Mount Makalu.

It was charred black.

"Cough, cough, pleasant cooperation, next!"

Chu Xiu waved his hand.

The exorcism array engraved on the stone lit up with white light again.

"Scammer!"

"Human!!!"

"I'll remember you!!!!"

Amidst screams and curses.

Another unlucky person was forcibly expelled back to hell.

And this was already the... um, I don't know how many hell demons Chu Xiu had summoned tonight.

The demonic aura on Mount Makalu was so dense that it had almost become substantial!

Forming a dark mist!

The snow on the mountaintop had long been dried by hellfire, revealing blackened stones.

Scorch marks were everywhere!

"Damn it, choking Deadman."

Chu Xiu coughed lightly. He had been in contact with various hell demons all night.

The strong smell of sulfur almost filled his nostrils.

But what he gained from doing this...

Was the demonic power within Chu Xiu's body, which had increased dozens of times, if not more, compared to yesterday!

This rate of growth, in Kamar-Taj, no, in the entire Marvel Universe, could be considered explosive.

Don't forget!

Just three days ago, Chu Xiu was just an ordinary person who had just crossed over!

Completely powerless!

But now...

"I wonder if I can defeat Hulk in my normal state."

This is not Chu Xiu bragging.

He casually took a giant rock from the top of the Macalu Peak and gave it a try.

With a light tap, the rock weighing several tons exploded like a biscuit, turning into powder in an instant.

And this...

is just the display of Chu Xiu's power in his normal state!

If he were to activate his demon transformation, his combat power would increase even further!

"And now I can fully transform into a demon."

Feeling the terrifying power within him, a smile appeared on Chu Xiu's lips.

He didn't know how many demons he had expelled this night.

These randomly summoned demons from hell.

They varied in strength.

But one thing was certain, they were all confused by Chu Xiu's "sacred soul."

It was very easy to sign a contract with them!

And when borrowing power, it was more than half, some even as much as 90%!

They lent all their power to Chu Xiu!

To be honest...

Chu Xiu underestimated the power of the "sacred soul."

To make an inappropriate analogy...

In the eyes of these demons, Chu Xiu felt like an incomparably beautiful person without clothes.

Like Xi Shi or Diao Chan~

A few of the demons had already sensed that something was wrong.

But in the end, they still signed the Fiend's Covenant with Chu Xiu without hesitation.

"For the first time, I feel like a scumbag who deceives honest people, uh, scum."

Thinking back to the demons he had deceived.

Chu Xiu's conscience was slightly touched, feeling a bit emotional.

And then, the next second...

He performed the summoning ritual again.

Hexagram, lit candles, recited vows, his actions were so skilled that it was astonishing.

"Next, please!"

Boom!

The familiar hellfire ignited once again.

But this time, there was no response from the demons inside.

"Hmm?"

Chu Xiu repeated the ritual, but the result was the same.

Silence surrounded him.

Until the last candle burned out.

Chu Xiu still didn't receive any response from any of the demons.

"What's going on?"

"Am I on the blacklist?"

Chu Xiu found it hard to believe.

But at this point, the demonic power within him had already reached its critical point.

The tempering of the demonic power on his body had also reached its limit.

Continuing to acquire more had little meaning.

"Never mind, if I'm blacklisted, then so be it, I don't care~"

"Let's call it a day!"

Chu Xiu clapped his hands.

He turned around and opened a portal, leaving the Macalu Peak.

...

At the same time.

Just as Chu Xiu returned to Kamar-Taj.

Outside the realm of reality, in one of the seven major hell dimensions, known as the "Thin Spirit Prison"...

The Hell Border.

At this moment.

A name!

A name called "Mordo"!

Spread rapidly through the Hell Border like a lit fuse!

Fraudster!

Deceiver!

Shameless scoundrel with a sacred soul!

Mordo's reputation was being passed around among the demons!

The demons, who were known for their cunning and deceit, had to face a reality.

They had been deceived!

And they had been deceived by a human!

A strong sense of contrast gave rise to resentment.

And this boundless resentment eventually converged in one place.

"Mordo!"

"You're dead!"

"We're going to kill you! A thousand times! It's not enough!"
