"Cut the veil! After that, we will release them, "said Black Widow."No!" shouted Barbro. "He can't come back."Eryk sighed and walked slowly toward the runes drawn on the floor's surface."There is no other choice," Eryk said. "That's the only way."Eryk glanced at the Joker, who was still standing, and looked down. The woman's eyes opened again, and anger seemed to wrestle on her face."If he returns, then we will all die," Barbro said while giving a look to beg Joker to do something. Barbro looks like a child at that time. He was really scared.While Sam is still hiding behind the door. He peeked and eavesdropped on everything that happened in there with fear. The mice went around Sam's foot. Sam also did not want to sacrifice the mice to get caught in the deadly spider web.Black also said, "You can't do it, Eryk. You can't call Venom back again to this world. Isn't he your nightmare all this time? The pale-handed man you always tell me? Why do you want to invite your demons to co
Eryk gawked, so surprised. His body suddenly shivered. And on the sidelines of that, Eryk could hear someone roaring.‘Who?' thought Eryk. ‘Who will cry over my failure and Alyssa's departure at times like this? Even the only Alyssa family–Evan Harris's, was gone. I was supposed to lament my stupidity until I had to sacrifice Alyssa.'Eryk looked back. He saw Black Widow kneel while screaming in anger. The woman's hand gripped her long tangled hair. Suddenly, the spider's net was jumping from her palm in all directions. The woman's anger was very clear from the emergence of the spider's nets in all orders uncontrolled.While Lizard continued to stare at the place where the portal was previously. He shook his head in disbelief."No! Impossible. It must be mistaken. ""Why!?" shouted Black Widow. "Why did she do that and jump into the portal? I should! Not that girl.""So that Venom cannot return, of course," Joker said flatly. "Without Owl Soul, there is nothing you will be able to do
Even though he grumbled, Lizard still did what Black Widow ordered. The lizard summoner started moving his summoned spirits around Eryk's feet. So, like it or not, Eryk had to move if he didn't want to be eaten up by the poisonous lizards.Behind him, Barbro also met a similar fate. He was surrounded by huge spiders that kept pushing and pushing him to follow Eryk.The two of them were forced towards the side door. If one of them fights, then the others also become victims. There was no option for the two to escape alone. There's no way out.'At least Sam and Joker seem to have escaped,' thought Barbro.Eryk thought they would be sent out into the main corridor. But instead, he and Barbro were led further inside behind that side door. There was a small windowless room. The room was only lit by a dim, yellow bulb.There was nothing in the small room. Eryk wondered what the purpose of the destroyer summoners was in bringing him there."Don't go anywhere," Lizard said, grinning and looki
"Just try it if you're that curious," muttered Barbro with an indifferent face.It seemed that Barbro was no longer able to explain.'Let Eryk experience it for himself and prove it if he is capable,' thought Barbro.Eryk turned away from Barbro. He sat on the floor in the middle of the room, closing his eyes as if meditating. Eryk never imagined his life would change if he entered Alice's world.A few months ago, he was just a nerdy college student with no friends. He was even shunned by his family. However, who would have thought that he was currently a summoned spirit handler?Until a few days ago, Eryk had not been able to summon the summoned spirits of several different types of birds. Only White and Black are always with him. But, at least now, Eryk can call flocks of raven and owl spirits with his own will and awareness.'Of course, I can also turn myself into the bird itself,' thought Eryk. 'I just need to try with willpower. I don't know how, but I'll still try!'Eryk sat dow
"Eryk?" This time Barbro's voice was calmer and quieter.The whirlwind slowly died down. Barbro knelt in place while enduring the excruciating pain in his back from being thrown against the wall. After the wind had cleared entirely, Barbro did not see Eryk anywhere. But he saw a white owl."White? is it you? Where's Eryk?""What do you mean, Barbro?" The white owl spoke but let out an Eryk sound. "I was here from earlier.""You…Eryk?""Yes! It's me, Eryk Wayland!"Barbro jerked backward and sat down. He was utterly gawked and opened his eyes wide."Impossible! You… did it? You managed to turn into an owl just like your summoned spirit?""It seems that your concept is wrong about 'changing,'" said Eryk, somewhat disappointed. "No wonder neither can transform into your respective summoned spirit forms. I didn't turn into an owl, although it looked like I did. I am still me–a human being. Only White replaced my physical role. But I'm still here–in this owl's body. Oh, I hope you understa
Eryk started to panic when Black and the other night bird spirits began to land on the tomb. Black and the others each perched on a tombstone made of black marble.Eriyk landed. But he wondered how to return to being human. Eryk tried to concentrate hard like he did when he wanted to turn himself into a bird.Something seemed to be pulled out of his chest. Surprisingly, suddenly he fell to his knees, and in front of him, White was already flying low near Eryk."Wow, it turned out to be much easier than when I turned me into a bird," said Eryk. "It's not as painful this time either.""From now on, you just need to call me and consider what changes you want. Then, I will come to you. Remember, I am a spirit, not an ordinary bird."Eryk let out a very, very deep breath. It didn't take long for his body to return to its weight and weight. He felt awkward. Eryk looked down at his body to ensure he was back to being an ordinary young man."So, what is this place?" Eryk looked at the bird sp
Eryk started to speak loudly enough for his voice to be heard by all the summoned spirits gathered."Hi, guys!" greeted Eryk carefully and awkwardly. "Thank you, guys, for coming."All the night birds summon spirits only stared at Eryk with flat looks. Black smoke seemed to evaporate from all over their bodies every time Eryk looked at them. It was as if those invisible black smokes were a part of their life and every breath they took. Seeing that terrible scene, Eryk suddenly felt goosebumps.'I can't do this,' thought Eryk. "Or White and Black will laugh at me."Eryk started to straighten up and straighten his dirty and wrinkled clothes. He took a deep breath and then took turns looking closely at the night bird-summoned spirits."My name is Eryk Wayland, son of Elisabeth Wayland. I'm a bird summoner. And this is my mother's grave."The tomb was utterly silent. None of the birds gave any response or reaction. As if they all thought Eryk was never there.Eryk's confidence suddenly fe
"Please, spare us!" asked the spirit of a mockingbird. "We all had a difficult time during the black summer and after. We also lost our loved ones. And with the power of our remnants, we could finally seal Venom in the land of the dead. If we opened it again, he would return to the human world. The risk is too great compared to just helping a human girl."Eryk looked irritated. "She's not just a human girl."An old grey owl approached Eryk. "She is indeed a summoner and even the granddaughter of Evan Harris. She should have known what she had done. She has enough capability to be aware of her choices and the consequences she has to accept.""Please, end this meeting and spare us. We will help you no matter what, but not to open a portal to the land of the dead," said another.Eryk was powerless. He couldn't force the spirits to summon the night birds he had gathered. Attempts to convince failed. He turned to White desperately. And, White replied with a soft shake of the head."I under
