When Ryu returned to Nial who had exerted the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique, they flew back to the teleportation circle together. The two of them returned to the Orion Shelter via a simple teleportation. Afterward, Nial went over to the renewed and expanded isolation room where he stayed with Ryu for a short while.

It was about time for Nial to summon another Devil, Dexter, the Shadowmancer! Nial accessed the spatial ring he had been given by the Royal Princess and he retrieved all Origin crystals. They were spread out neatly and could be accessed only moments later. Their mana was drained rapidly by the darkness domain that spread through the entire isolated room.

The pure Mana was absorbed almost instantly and it was converted into highly potent dark energy within seconds. That way, it took Nial only two minutes to retrieve all Origin crystals from his own spatial rings and the spatial ring given by the Royal Princess. After that, it was about time for him to clean up the mess of empty Origin crystals to make some space for the humongous black Gate that manifested not long after everything was cleaned up.

Nial had already sent Kaeldur a mental reminder to return and guide him in the summoning process of the Shadowmancer. He wanted to summon Dexter specifically but didn\'t know how to call for a specific energy fluctuation, to begin with. Nial didn\'t even know the individual energy fluctuation of Shadowmancer Dexter, to begin with. Thus he could only use his tremendous amount of dark energy to materialize the darkness Gate, a humongous arced Gate that was overflowing with energy.

Chilling winds surged around the humongous Gate that rattled a bit with the desire to open up and give a beast the chance to emerge on the other side. However, Nial controlled the arced Gate neatly and kept it tightly shut.

He had been a little bit worried before, which didn\'t seem to be a problem anymore after Kaeldur told him that Hoert, the Devourer of Universes, would not be able to influence him again, not for now at least. Even if he didn\'t know how Kaeldur could be so sure about that, the Devil\'s words dispersed Nial\'s worry and it allowed him to control the Awakening of the Prymal technique much better than ever before.

In fact, it was not as if he had used it often, to begin with. But even if that would have been the case, Nial was quite comfortable using the ability right now.

He closed his eyes and smoothly inserted more and more dark energy inside the darkness Gate. He had more than enough dark energy inside his body and was hidden within the darkness domain, either way. If that was not enough, Nial could access the hidden storage of dark energy within his Heart of Darkness.

That wouldn\'t be much of a problem either.

It would be more confusing if Nial were to lack dark energy. His entire body seemed to store dark energy, and every single cell in his body missing was infused with the potent form of energy. It was quite intriguing but not enough to shock Nial. He was quite familiar with that sensation of his entire body overflowing with energy.

While Nial inserted more dark energy inside the arced darkness Gate, Kaeldur emerged in the isolated room. The Devil used his Essence to access the arced darkness Gate and take control of the energy that flooded the Gate. He altered it lightly to make sure that the desired monstrosity would emerge from within the Gate. Hours passed in the blink of an eye and it was only then that a big change occurred.

Without warning, Kaeldur stepped back. He merged with Nial\'s darkness domain where he began to travel through to enter his body to return to a safe spot, Nial\'s Heart of Darkness.

[Dexter doesn\'t really like the other Devils, so you will have to take control of him first before allowing him to meet up with us!] Kaeldur said all of a sudden.

Nial could hardly prevent his expression of satisfaction from crumbling when he realized what Kaeldur said. He shook his head in denial and finished up the summoning process while inwardly cursing the first Devil he had encountered. Kaeldur was a very knowledgeable and talented individual but he was also good at avoiding trouble by saving his skin and pushing it onto others.

\'At least he finished guiding me to my target,\' Nial thought as the dark energy within the arced darkness Gate found something. It reached out to the target and pulled it back through the door by sheer force.

The surrounding area began to tremor wildly as tremendously thick and dense air overflowing with darkness emerged from within the arced Gate. In an instance, the entire isolated room was filled with chilling darkness. The temperature in the room dropped below zero within seconds, which caused Nial to frown deeply.

He created a suctioning force all over his darkness domain and forcefully absorbed the darkness that flooded his room. Nial didn\'t spare the slightest bit of darkness until he found an alien mass of shadows and darkness that he couldn\'t absorb as easily as the rest.

[How about you stop touching me all over my body?] A hoarse voice rang through Nial\'s mind. Someone he had never heard in his mind started to talk to him through mental transmission all of a sudden, and Nial knew instantaneously whom he was talking to.

"Shadowmancer Dexter, I welcome you to Jundra, the Origin of the Universe. We don\'t know each other, but our paths are interconnected much more than you may think at this moment!" Nial greeted the Devil, blabbering something he had prepared to say beforehand, only to realize that he was talking gibberish.

[I know that you have the Godly Fragment of that piece of shit inside you, otherwise, how would you be able to unseal me from the Everlasting Ice of the Antarcilan?] The hoarse voice that belonged to the Shadowmancer asked without bothering to return the greeting, his voice filled with frustration and disgust.

[Why did you unseal me? I sensed Kaeldur\'s Essence for a moment but I cannot see or sense him anywhere close.] Dexter, the Shadowmancer didn\'t seem to like the current situation and was annoyed. Nonetheless, he was talking a lot.

Nial was not sure if that was a good thing or not, but it was certainly better than getting attacked all of a sudden.

"Kaeldur is inside my Heart of Darkness. You can consider it a Sanctuary for my Devils. They can regain their strength much faster while residing inside the Heart of Darkness since my Darkness Essence is also accumulating inside it!" Nial explained as neatly as possible in the current situation.

The arced Gate of Darkness dispersed slowly while releasing an excessive amount of dark energy. Nial\'s darkness domain naturally retracted the dark energy which required a mere second.

[Heart of Darkness? That is something this piece of shit didn\'t possess…So what are you planning to do with me? I cannot disobey your commands either way. If you die, I will die as well now that you\'ve unsealed me…So what is it that you want?] Dexter bombarded Nial with questions without even thinking of taking on a form.

The Shadowmancer was currently just a mass of compressed darkness and materialized shadows. Visualizing this didn\'t really allow Nial to figure out anything about Dexter, except that his eyes were somewhere hidden within the mass of darkness and shadows.

"I just want you to kill a bunch of beasts."

[That\'s it? You bastard…]
