Shoujo Grand Summoning

Chapter 1241: Problems, I hope the next time we meet, we wont be enemies

"You…"

Origami looked at Wu Yan who just punched the entity into the distance. He stopped Origami from getting her desired power.

Wu Yan didn't bother with Origami. His focus is on the mysterious entity.

It was covered in mosaics so it was impossible to identify whether it was a male or female, it is not even possible to determine if it is humanoid or something different.

Wu Yan knew about this entity but this is the first time he encountered this entity directly.

The entity floated up as it stared back at Wu Yan.

"You're Phantom, I presume?"

"Phantom?"

The entity made a gesture as if it tilted its head.

"Is Phantom my codename?"

"Hmm? You didn't know?"

Wu Yan mocked the entity.

"Kurumi said you're good at gathering intelligence. You don't even know your own nickname?"

Phantom replied.

"Minor details like this won't appear on my radar…"

"Ah, I see, so it is not as easy to operate in the dark than to move around openly…"

"I don't have time for petty matters…"

Phantom calmly replied. However, Wu Yan can feel its gaze on him.

Phantom isn't wary but it is by no means relaxed.

Anything Wu Yan tries to do will probably fail as Phantom will simply run away.

Phantom seems like it is adept at escaping people.

Wu Yan marked Phantom as an elusive entity. He wanted to subdue it and force answers out of the entity but he dispelled that thought.

Before confirming his methods of capture, Wu Yan didn't want to waste this rare chance.

"I've a question…"

Phantom said.

"How did you spot me?"

Wu Yan chuckled.

"You were talking to Origami in front of me, why are you asking me how I found you?"

"I had a shrouding Reiryoku veil around me…"

Phantom explained.

"This Reiryoku shroud can mask my appearance, voice, and make my presence almost undetectable. I will admit you're powerful but you shouldn't have been able to notice me, right?"

"Reiryoku shroud?"

He caught that point.

"You're a spirit, huh?"

Phantom nodded.

"I am a spirit and I am looking for my partne- create more spirits."

"Create partners, huh?"

Wu Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Why?"

"I cannot answer."

Phantom said.

"Now, I can't answer your questions but I hope you can answer mine."

"That's a bit unfair."

Wu Yan curled his lips. He gave the angry Origami a sideways glance before answering the mysterious entity.

"Indeed, it was hard to spot you but you were talking to Origami, even if you didn't attack, shrouded or did whatever magic spells to hide your presence."

"Origami started talking to herself after getting hurt. By listening in, I could tell she is talking to something real, it wasn't Origami's hallucination from getting hurt."

"Once you deduced the presence of a third party, it was only a matter of maximizing your perception to detect me, is it?"

Phantom analyzed his reaction.

"It was my mistake, I didn't factor in the actions of that child."

"Well, that sounds about right…"

Wu Yan looked at Phantom.

"And then? You're going to answer my question?"

"Question?"

Phantom parroted.

"Why are you creating spirits?"

"And, I have more questions…"

Wu Yan sighed.

"Let's start with that one."

"Sorry, I cannot answer."

Phantom said.

"I have my own goals and wishes."

"Wishes?"

"Does your wish entail harm to spirits?"

Phantom stayed mum.

"I cannot guarantee the spirits' safety but I don't intend my malice towards successful spirits."

Wu Yan stared back at Phantom. The mood became tense as the two individuals stared at one another.

Phantom is the first one to look away. It looked at the gem in Wu Yan's hand.

"That is mine…"

"Yours?"

Wu Yan tossed it into the air with an evil grin.

"Ah, you mean this Sephira Crystal? I thought you were going to give it away? Why should I return it?"

"True."

Phantom said.

"Give it to the child over there, that is my wish."

"Well, I don't mind doing that…"

Wu Yan looked at Origami who stared back with malice and killing intent. He bitterly laughed.

"Giving it to her sounds like a bad idea right now so I am gonna pass on that."

"You're planning on robbing it?"

Phantom turned aggressive.

"That is troubling…"

"You didn't think about how troubling it would be if you gave it to Origami…"

Wu Yan floated an annoyed look.

"You're going to give it anyway, why not give it to me?"

"Do you even need Sephira Crystal with your current powers?"

"I might not need it but some other people might need it."

Wu Yan said.

"Since you're going to give it away, I might as well help you choose the recipient."

"Hmm…"

Phantom relented.

"It seems that will be the case…"

"You agreed?"

Wu Yan laughed.

"Thanks for your largesse."

"I am just not sure I can rob it from you, that's all…"

Phantom turned around.

"Just remember, that Sephira Crystal has restrictions. The resulting spirit will have its powers and strength dependent on the compatibility between the recipient and the gem's powers. Origami is very compatible so I approached her. I hope you can give it to her after solving your own problems."

"I want to see the birth of powerful spirits…"

Phantom turned around.

"You are powerful, those powers you possess scares me. I don't know what you are, what your origins are, but, I don't want to become your enemy. Since the spirits are happy staying with you, even Kurumi's infatuated with you, I think they are in good hands. The spirits who are with you also grew in a significantly divergent manner than my expectations. Truth be told, I am shocked…"

"Granted, I don't know if these deviations are good or bad, I am just going to observe for now."

"Let's hope we don't become enemies in the future."

Phantom faded into nothingness with that last line. Wu Yan couldn't pick up any trace of Phantom's presence or power.

Wu Yan calmly watched as Phantom utilized Lost.
