Chapter 127: Uncovering Mysteries and New Summons
---
After the auction dabi meets with the Raghnall Ferrin the Astral Heaven Academy headmaster in the gates of auction house. Tells let's walk tiger Dabi.
As Dabi strolled along the busy market streets with his siblings, Loira, Nafo, and the headmaster, his mind was full of conflicting emotions.
The headmaster had just handed him 3.2 billion gold, the funds raised from auctioning the Heart of Eternity and Mermaid tears. Dabi, however, felt a strong need to return some of this fortune.
"Headmaster," he said quietly, "Half of heart of eternity money belongs to you. You should take at least a billion back."
The headmaster raised an eyebrow, smiling as he met Dabi's gaze. "Dabi, I sell theHeart of Eternity, and it's you who own it, as I told you you should take half of the auction money.
It belongs to you just as much as it belongs to anyone else. Consider the Dabi's request Raghnall Ferrin take the money gives remaining 2.2 billion gold tells Dabi use it for his growth. Dabi tells I plan to do that sir."
Dabi nodded, feeling the weight of trust in the headmaster's words. They exchanged a respectful handshake before the headmaster turned and disappeared into the crowd.
He looked around for his siblings, who were excitedly buying cotton candy at a nearby stall.
Eli waved him over, grinning as he handed Dabi a piece of pink cotton candy. "Dabi! Try this! It's amazing!"
He took a bite, savoring the sweetness, but his mind soon drifted to memories of the past.
Thoughts of Aunty Nazu filled his mind as he chewed, his gaze unfocused. She had been a pillar in his life, someone who had stepped in when he'd needed it most.
Her warm smile and kind words had helped him through the darkest times after his parents' disappearance.
Back story of Aunty Nazu-
Nazu had moved into the apartment next door just two weeks after the government declared his parents dead.
She'd encouraged him to return to school, taking care of Eli and Mira whenever he was busy.
She had become a central figure in their lives, cooking for them, helping with their schoolwork, and filling the void left by his parents. Discover more stories at empire
Then, without warning, she had vanished. On the eve of Dabi's awakening ceremony, she'd simply left, leaving behind a short note saying she was moving away.
He'd searched for her, tried to contact her, but it was as if she had disappeared from existence. The ache of her absence had lingered, never truly healing.
Now, after all these years, he'd seen her again waking beside a member of the Asterius family during the auction.
She had looked at him as if he were a stranger, not even acknowledging his and siblings presence. And now, on top of it all, the Asterius family was showing an interest in him.
"What is the connection between Nazu and the Asterius family?" Dabi wondered to himself, his brow furrowing. "Why did she leave without a word? And why does she act like she doesn't even know us?"
"Dabi?" Eli tugged at his sleeve, pulling him out of his thoughts. "Are you okay? You look like you're somewhere else."
He forced a smile, patting Eli's shoulder. "I'm fine. Just thinking about some things."
Eli and Mira exchanged glances before Mira piped up, "Let's eat dinner outside! Can we, Dabi?"
He couldn't help but laugh, their enthusiasm washing away his worries for the moment. "Alright, let's find a place then."
They made their way to a nearby fancy restaurant, a rare treat for all of them. They ordered a variety of dishes, indulging in rich flavors and laughing at each other's jokes.
By the time they finished, the day's events had momentarily faded into the background, replaced by the simple joy of being together.
As they walked home under the starlit sky, Eli and Mira, tired from the day's excitement, fell asleep. Dabi carried Eli on his back while Loira and Nafo took turns holding Mira.
Back home, Nafo and Loira carefully placed them into their beds, making sure they were comfortable. Nafo nodded to Dabi before heading off to his own quarters.
Nafo paused before heading to his own room. "I'll need some time to use the flame stone can I use the training room.
It may take me a few days. I am thinking about who will be incharge of Eli and Mirays for that time?"
Dabi nodded. "Take as much time as you need, Mr. Nafo. I'll figure out something for security."
Loira spoke up, smiling at Nafo. "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on things here while you're training."
With everything settled, Dabi retreated to his room, shutting the door behind him as he sank into thought.
His mind replayed the day's events, his thoughts returning to his siblings' safety. Nafo would be occupied with his flame stone absorbing, and he needed a solution.
Then, an idea struck him. "I have the Dimensional Summon skill now, and my Universal Contract ability.
If I can summon a creature with intelligence, I could make a contract with it for protection." The thought sparked excitement within him.
This was the perfect time to test the limits of his power. I will use all my mana to summon, I am sure I can summon someone very powerful.
Dabi gathered his focus, reaching deep into his reserves of mana. His eyes glowed faintly as he channeled energy, concentrating on the spell.
His mana reserves had grown significantly, and he now had over 9,000 mana available.
He poured every ounce of it into the summoning spell, feeling the energy build as a dimensional portal began to shimmer before him.
The portal swirled with vibrant colors, expanding until it filled a portion of the room.
For a moment, he saw only swirling darkness, then two gleaming eyes appeared, peering back at him through the gateway.
A figure emerged, tall and majestic, with a body that combined the strength of a beast with the intelligence of a human.
The creature had yellow clouds covering its body, thick and wild, with a mane that seemed to radiate a faint golden glow.
It had the physique of a warrior, with muscular arms and legs, yet its face had a distinctly like clouds, with a strong arms, but looking like a elemental sprits, and piercing eyes that seemed to examine Dabi with a mix of curiosity and caution.
The creature stood upright, towering over Dabi, yet it showed no signs of aggression. Instead, it observed him in silence, as if waiting.
Dabi took a deep breath, steadying himself. "You've come through my summoning," he said, his voice calm but firm.
"I am Dabi, the Sovereign of Space. I seek a contract with you, one of loyalty and alliance."
The creature's ears perked, and it inclined its head, speaking in a deep, resonant voice.
"I am Clada, of the sprits Clan. We are protectors, guardians of our kin. Why do you seek my loyalty, young summoner?"
Dabi maintained eye contact, knowing this creature, Clada, was no ordinary sprit. "I have family to protect," he said, his voice unwavering.
"My siblings need someone powerful who can ensure their safety in my absence. In return, I offer loyalty and partnership.
You'll have a purpose in our world and, if you wish, the chance to grow stronger alongside me."
Clada seemed to consider this, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "Your mana… it is vast for one so young.
You possess strength, yet your request is not one of conquest but of protection." Clada's gaze softened slightly, as if recognizing something in Dabi's determination.
"Very well, Dabi, Sovereign of Space. I accept your offer. By the rites of my clan, I will serve as a guardian to those you cherish."
Dabi raised his hand, activating his Universal Contract ability. A symbol glowed on his palm, and Clada extended his own clawed hand, pressing it against Dabi's.
The energy between them surged, forming a binding contract that linked their souls.
When the glow faded, Clada nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face. "It is done. Call upon me, and I shall answer."
Dabi felt a sense of relief and gratitude. "Thank you, Clada. Your presence means a lot to me."
With a faint smile, Clada inclined his head. "I shall rest for now. Summoning me used much of your energy, and I, too, require rest. I will remain close, ready to defend your kin."
Dabi tells Clada I also need one guardian more of your kind. I have two siblings I want two guardians to be with them.
Clada tells ok once you recover you mana you can summon again I will help you will the summon.
With my help you can summon another one of my kind. I will also help you convincing the sprit guardian to sing a contract with you.
Dabi nodded, watching as Clada moved to a corner of the room and settled down, his large form exuding an aura of calm strength.
Exhaustion began to overtake Dabi as he realized how much mana he'd expended on the summoning.
But it was worth it. He now had a powerful ally, a guardian who would protect his siblings while he took on the challenges that lay ahead.
Next morning after waking up Dabi sees his mana is only half recovered. Then decide to buy a man's recovery potion from system shop.
After using it. His mana is fully recovered. Clada was floating in the air sleeping in the corner of the room.
Now Dabi is ready to summon again....
