"You know the rules of the Coil, young magus," said the old man. "A summoner cannot call forth serpents that are stronger than them."
"Even if I provide a large quantity of sacrifice?" Adam pressed.
Considering the situation unfolding in Blackshore, he was desperate for options that could increase his strength in the short time that he had.
However, the old man adamantly refused. "Rules of the Coil cannot be broken. Not by man, beast, or spirit."
Seeing the youth's shoulders slouch in disappointment, Lord White asked, "These enemies you are about to face. Just how strong could they possibly be?"
"Rank 3 - Mana Vortex Magi," Adam smiled bitterly.
Lord White snorted in ridicule, "You need help to deal with a mere bunch of Mana Vortex insects? Perhaps, I might have overestimated your abilities."
"My Lord…" Adam couldn't help but protest, "I fear there will be several Rank 3 Magi that I'd have to go up against. They're more than I can handle in my current state."
