An Extra’s POV

"There, there, little egg."

Rey caressed the small object in his hand, whispering to it as he watched Ater approach him.

"You better grow to be big and strong so you can prove your big bro Ater wrong, okay?"

Ater chuckled as he heard Rey say this. He had an air of ease around him, nearly shrugging aside all the events that had transpired.

The Magic Circle was long gone, and since the task was complete, it was time to return home.

"Shall we leave now, Master?" Ater asked with a sparkling smile on his face.

"No."

"E-eh…?"

Ater's surprise at his Master's words caused his handsome and calm face to display hints of nervousness.

Somehow, he already knew what was on Rey's mind.

"I'm going to try again!" Rey declared, snorting out steam from his nose.

"B-but Master… you said you'd try one at a time."

Ater's complaints fell on deaf ears. Rey's determined face made it clear that he wanted to have another Absolute Familiar.

"How have I been inadequate, Master? I'll try to be better, so let us just stop for today…" He pleaded even more.

However, Rey shook his head as he maintained his stone-cold face.

"I can only pray for something special to come out of that egg. But, I also need something I can use now."

Since his [Absolute Dominion] allowed him to make as many Familiars as he wanted, as long as he could handle them, he wanted to give it another try.

"But Master, excessive summoning causes space to experience an imbalance. It might not be safe to use a Summon Skill of such a scale again"

Rey shook his head again and raised it in determination.

"My [Absolute Spatial Domain] tells me that this space can handle at least one more Summoning. If I manipulate the space around me, I can make it handle two or even three more!"

Rey's stern demeanor shattered apart as a wide smile crept on his face. He seemed to be the very personification of evil as he grinned with bloodshot eyes.

His desperation was palpable.
