The second the blue gate appeared, the magic circle began glowing, emitting red and blue rays toward the gate. Gi-Gyu took a step back toward Baal, who murmured, “Hmm…”

Baal studied the magic circle carefully, while Gi-Gyu looked at it anxiously. They had experimented many times before, but they hadn’t seen any positive results yet. 

Fwoosh!

The gate began vibrating ever so slightly, and no skeletons jumped out like before. 

Baal announced in an excited voice, “Oh! It’s a success!”

Gradually, the light from the gate began gathering in one place and gave birth to something shiny. 

Gi-Gyu murmured, “Wow... We really just created a crystal.” 

The blue crystal forming on the magic circle’s edge even had Baal invested. When had anyone ever seen the stoic Baal look so relieved and interested? 

-I have to admit that Baal always had talent in the field of black magic. That jerk is one of my minions who learned my wisdom correctly.

Lou didn’t sound very happy as he explained, but Gi-Gyu could tell that Lou acknowledged Baal’s talent. 

Fwoosh!

The gate vibrated...
