Chapter 113: Plan on Closing The Rift

The demons gathered in the rift are so many that my hair is rising just looking at them. The number of demons on the rift is just too hard to count that comparing it to the Shibuya Scramble Square, it was just a far cry. The demons have not noticed us yet so we are still safe but I don't feel like we are safe.

"Sh*t, these demons were all gathered here! This is the first time I have seen this many in my life! It's not even comparable to the demon invasion in Tokyo!" Godou said as he looked on the rift.

I frowned when I saw it, but I am not troubled a bit. After obtaining the Seed of Ygdrassil, I often find myself able to be calm rather than panicking on the inside. I no longer felt that way after that and even the direst situation including earlier was not really a problem for me. If you add this timing though, it is still not enough to trigger my fear, or rather, it is not enough to move me.

"We have to revise our plan. We can't just show up unannounced and also charge in proving that we exist and hiding somewhere. Going in solo operation is a suicide that is why we shouldn't separate from each other. We can't let the demons just outnumber us," Tsukoyomi said.

"Why not we fire AOE magic to them? That way, we will be able to thin out their numbers significantly?" Zan suggested.

"No, these demons are clearly able to detect magic. I can see one of them, near the very entrance of the rift, is a shaman which is able to see the flow of mana in the air. If we did use magic to them using that method, we are just going to die once all demons come crashing to us," Moonlight said as she disagrees with Zan's suggestion.

"You are right. I guess I am too hasty, I didn't think too much on it," Zan apologizes and scratches his head as he continues to observe, " But then, how would we be able to take them all out? Even Yaya's Mr. Teddy will not be able to fight and obliterate them all!"

Hearing that, I decided to interject.

"We don't need to take them all out and kill them all. If my assumption is correct, those demons are weaklings but some of them are very strong so killing them all is not easy. From what I heard earlier, they seemed to be trying to summon some things using the rift down below. Since that seems to be still on the process, we can assume that the demons have yet to summon whatever they are trying to summon over here. We can still stop them and foiling their plans might be the only way like stopping their invasion but that has a low chance. Sealing that rift might be the key to stop whatever they are trying to summon from being released."

"But how do we do that?" Voltaire asked.

"I don't have any sealing magic that can help with this situation and even if I have one, with that big rift on the ground being a gargantuan one, I doubt I can even seal it, moreover, force it to close," Tsugimoto said with a disappointed face. I just realized now that Tsugimoto's spells are all related to sealing and binding since most of his spells involve using chains and locks. It wouldn't be a surprise if he has some sealing spells but to reveal that he has no ability to seal it is really disappointing.

"Then what should we do? No one of us except Tsugimoto is able to master Sealing Magic a lot since we have our own specialties?" Rena said with a despaired look.

I sighed and decided to say it although this would really take a lot of toll to me if I perform this particular spell I got from the memories of the father of Anya.

"I have a spell with me here that can at least force the rift close but it will take a lot of toll to my body as I need a lot of blood as a catalyst for this spell to work. It will be worse for me if I ran out of blood once I am in the middle of using the spell."

"A spell enough to seal that rift? Moreover, it needs blood as a catalyst? Why I have not heard of that before?" Moonlight sank in deep thought.

Blue chimed to the conversation. " Kazuma, are you thinking of using THAT spell? Are you kidding? Do you want to die?!"

"No. If this was the only way for the rift to be forcefully close, then I will do it."

"Stop spouting bullsh*t Kazuma. You already know that that spell needs a lot of blood and I did not mean a wound's amount of blood, but a LOT! It might not be an exaggeration to say that it might need all of your blood just to perform it!"

"There is no choice. Unless you can give me an alternative to close that rift. If you do, I won't be using that spell."

"Urgh... unfortunately, due to the rift's size, these spells are not enough to close that. But are you really sure to do that? There is no point for you to do it."

"Who else will be? I am the only one who can do it since I am the only one who knows this spell. I doubt Anya knows this either since her father did not even tell her this."

"You really like to play it hero don't you?"

"Not really, I just wanted this to be over quick so that I can go home."

"Then how the heck would you plan on solving the blood problem?! That is going to take almost all of your blood! You won't be dying on the demon's onslaught but will die in blood loss! You will still die!"

"At least I have a chance. But if I die, then that's it. I will either go to hell first or if by a miracle, will go to heaven."

"You insane motherf*cker, I will beat you up until you are black and blue if you don't come back alive. Don't go dying on this mission. You just barely walked the path of being a magician."

I did not respond to Blue. Honestly, I only have a 1% chance of surviving upon using this spell. It was more like suited for a dragon since the dragons don't have to worry about bloodless due to their excessive amount of blood in their veins. Just using it would only cause them to lose a prick of blood. It is so different when it comes to a human. A prick of blood for a dragon is equal to all the blood flowing in a human's circulatory system.

But dying for me is just not something I fear. I am always prepared to die anytime so that I won't have any regrets once it comes crashing down on you. Honestly, I am always quite sure that death will always be behind me, waiting for the time my life is ripe enough to be reaped. And I think today would be the day I will be using my own life just to save people I barely know. But hey, at least I would be able to save lives, not just rot away unnoticed by anyone.

"You are the Chat Killer right? Kazuma, if I remember it right. Can you tell me what this rift sealing spell you are talking about?" Tsukoyomi asked.

"It's the Blood Call: The Emptiness Lock"

When Tsugimoto heard this, he quickly approached me and grabbed my shoulders.

"Are you out of your mind?! Are you planning to die?!"

Voltaire and the others furrowed their brows due to Tsugimoto's behavior all of a sudden.

"What's with you? You don't act that much before," Rena looked at Tsugimoto with a puzzled look.

"You all don't understand. Blood Call: The Emptiness Lock is considered as Black Magic spell and instead of mana, it uses a different catalyst to be used which for example, in this spell, it needed a lot of blood of the user just to activate it. And not just a small amount of blood. From what I heard, this spell needs to use a lot of blood that the users who use this spell would either die after casting or will die in the middle of the spell usage due to blood loss. So far, only one survived from the people who used it and turned into a vegetative state."

"Then..." everyone looked at me with a frown.

"Kazuma. You don't need to do this. There is no need to sacrifice. You just only started," Voltaire said with a strict tone on his voice.

"Nah, it's alright. It is not a big thing and I am making sure that I won't kick the bucket yet. So rest assured. Just let me do it," I nonchalantly said.

Just as I said that I was immediately punched by Godou. It hurts a lot but it didn't really do much to me. It just leaves a sting in my face but other than that, nothing. I just found out Godou's punch is very weak unless he uses magic.

"Damn you Kazuma. We already said that no one would be dying and you did not oppose that and now you will try to sacrifice yourself?! Isn't that just selfish?"

"So what do you propose, leave the rift open and help them summon the god they are trying to summon? We would be suffering too many losses if that happens. And I don't want that to occur. If you have an alternative to close the rift, I will be glad to stop my method but if there isn't any of them, then there is no other choice," I said.

"Then, what about the blood? Are you saying you will die if you use it due to blood loss?" Moonlight looked at me with a concerned stare.

I was about to say something when all of my familiars appeared on my back even though I didn't summon them, they just appeared without me calling them.

"There is no need for the master to bear the burden alone. We will help him alleviate the burden of the magic spell. Master is not going to die and we will make sure the spell will also work without endangering his life. Let's just make sure we survive the demons," Inari said.

When they saw Inari, everyone was stunned except for Maple and Anya who have already witnessed me summoning her.

"INARI-SAMA?!"
