WHIRRRR
The energies now were flowing smoothly. Rather than the five circle stack, it was now going on seven, which increases the efficiency.
The Restoration Circle that was removed, was vanishing, but Zypher saw a detail he did not expect.
A tear can happen to a magic circle once it was overused, or once it is too worn down.
But, this is not a tear, and more of a "cut".
A question appeared in his mind.
Who will do this and why?
Suddenly, three people appeared in his mind.
First, is the dark hooded man. He is so suspicious, and his name, is not even visible. He may be a high-level player with overpowered items, and he is just smurfing, but if it is so, he is a prime suspect as he is a professional.
Second, is the young master Bernard. He has some false sense of superiority, and is so arrogant. His sense of superiority may not want him to have someone better than him, so he sabotaged the next one, but it didn't went off on Irene, but him.
And the third one, for him, is the most suspicious. Striking up a conversation, vanishing inside a few steps, and the last one to enter the room: Irene.
As for the motives, he is currently in his fifth day playing, so what wrongdoings did he do to garner such attention.
He sighed as he cleared his mind.
As for now, he needs the summon. Zypher smiled as he looked at the circle who is now approaching near light speed in the flowing of energies.
Earlier, when he swapped the circles, he saw a record of the summons that was did before in this very circle.
The best summon did here was called the Mechanical Spider Queen.
She has a Dark, Servant and Modular Runes that became the servant of a name he knows of.
One of the seven accounts in his past life that had a legendary Class: The Mechanic - Hollow Lily.
She is the only one that was unaffiliated in his past life, but she is the Queen of her own kingdom, and was a force that even the four main guilds were afraid to touch.
Her power is significantly high, plus her summon that covered all her flaws.
Seeing the nostalgic name, he remembered in his past life that he once met her, and was able to play together in game, but he was swept up in the turmoil of the game, making him unable to return to her.
Then, a small memory came back to him. His face then crumpled, trying to stop his tears, while caressing her name.
"You may have forgotten, or never made a promise this time, but I still remember it clearly."
He but his lip and decided to scroll down.
He saw the names of the three people who went before him.
There, he saw the name of the hooded man.
Ichor.
Well, if he has to fight them, he has to know things about them.
And the name is the primary one.
He then pressed the name of their summons, and while he was at it, a sudden explosion appeared in the room.
"Did I fail?"
This was the first thing he asked.
He has been in the room for almost five minutes now, adding the time he changed the circles.
And the energies were whirring since earlier, but a summon is not going out.
Suddenly, like a pot being filled with water, and boiling, the energies converged at the middle, and created a dazzling scene.
Two entities appeared in the summoning circle.
The two were of different styles, but both of the same structure.
The first one, is a floating eye, that has two wings. One wing is dark like the night, and the other is too bright of a white.
The cornea of the said eye is yellow, while the pupil is a slit like a snake, and is colored red.
[Eye of the All-Father]
- an eye of magic and sophistication. This eye can see everything that is hidden and can even see through lies.
[Form a Contract?]
Zypher was bewildered.
By the looks of it, this eye is of the Dark and Spirit Runes, but having a contract, does that mean that this eye is a triple Rune one?
But, he did not rush, as he looked at the other one.
[Eye of the Unknown One]
- the eye of innovation and wonder. This eye can see through everything, and is powerful enough to create.
The second eye, is a mechanical eye, that has a blue cornea and black pupils.
[Form a Contract?]
Another contract was given unto him, which made Zypher's shock even more deep.
Thinking back, Zypher has to use magic at all times, so the All-Father is the best choice.
But to be able to innovate, and more, he has to pick the Unknown one.
Zypher then shook his head. He racked his brains to weigh one over the other, and choose one.
As his head hurts from the choice, soot from the place fell down that made his eye itch. He rubbed it and was able to get the soot out.
But that was the moment he found his answer.
He then jumped up, and moved towards ghe two eyes. Smilling, he extended his arm.
"I choose..."

BOOOM!
The door opened and Zypher went out of the room.
Ellen, who was just outside, was bewildered as she saw that the energy inside the room was so high that she can't even breathe in.
The others also felt it, and was so scared, even their summons started to feel agitated.
Ellen, composing herself, casted a skill.
"Mana Scan."
As she scanned him, aside from a few stat raises, she did not find anything new.
"What happened inside?"
She asked, curious as to what he had summoned.
Zypher weakly exited, with his head down, and sadness on his face.
"I wasn't able to make the contract."
