Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

As I distracted the heads with the aid of Eleanora, I summoned a Huginn and quickly made it fly towards the rest of my party, who were still trying to figure out what to do. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say the entire monster's aura intimidated them so much their very minds seemed in shambles. It was a desperate situation.

"CRAAH!"

Huginn flew towards Erika, sitting over her head and peeking it with its beak until she suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Ah! A-A bird that Blake Summoned?!" She asked, looking at Huginn.

Quickly, I infused my voice into Huginn, and used the [Voice Mimicry] Skill he possessed to transfer my voice into the crow. Erika quickly heard my voice through the bird.

"Erika, calm down. Quickly go help the rest to snap back to reality, I'll need all of your help right now!"

"Eh? Ah! R-Right!"

It was understandable that they would panic to such an extent, but there was no time to just sit around. Erika quickly ran towards the rest of the group, Elizabeth, Chris, and Eric, who were all snapped back to reality by the [Intimidation] Status Effect they had when Erika smacked their heads with a ruthless karate chop. Her wooden hands surely hurt when they hit them.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

"Hey, snap out of it!"

"Ah!"

"Eh?!"

"W-Wha…?!"

The [Intimidation] Status effect inflicted them some sort of mental paralysis and confusion, but now that such a thing was gone by the surprise attack of Erika, the trio went back to normal. The four immediately saw me fighting alongside Eleanora, as a second head suddenly fell into the floor. However, more heads tried to devour us, we were jumping on their noses constantly, barely managing to escape from the sure death of being snapped by those enormous jaws.

As I did that, I multi-tasked, infusing my voice into Huginn and talking with everybody. Explanations over why Huginn could do this were unnecessary and they thankfully did not asked for it. My plan was simple though, I wanted them all to aid Elizabeth into readying her strongest Exorcism spell and then blast the Hydra completely.

"What? So you want me to kill that thing? Even with two Exorcisms which is my limit I don't think I would be able to!" Elizabeth was slowly beginning to panic again.

"You can!" I said through Huginn. "As long as Erika, Chris, and Eric aid you with their magic."

"H-How can we do that?" Asked Eric.

"Eric, remember the time I taught you that Spell?" I asked him.

"Eh? You mean the Magic Connection- Wait, that's it!" Eric, who was the smartest despite being cowardly, immediately realized what I had in mind.

Around a week ago I had taught Eric a special Spell nobody else could learn due to their lack of attention. Eric also had amazing photographic memory, so he was the chosen one to carry this spell's knowledge. It was named Magic Connection, and it was something I always used with others to form powerful Ritual Magic, a combination of many magician's magic together into an enormously strong spell to take down powerful and big foes.

My plan was to let Eric conjure this Spell and then create a Ritual Magic Circle in the floor, channeling the power of the four kids together, they should be able to form what I've called [Yggdrasil's Cannon] by channeling the power of Eric's Nature and Life Magic with the Holy Light Magic of Elizabeth.

"You want me to use [Yggdrasil's Cannon]?! That's nuts! I can't… I just can't!" Eric said while panicking.

"You couldn't do it alone due to your lack of Mana, but with everyone else, it is possible! Eric, for once in your life, gain some courage and do it!" I roared back at him. "If we don't do this, we are doomed!"

"Ah…!"

Eric's eyes quickly were shocked, as they lost a bit of their light.

For a moment, he fell silent, as he suddenly felt the hand of his friend, Chris, over his shoulder.

And then, Erika and Elizabeth's hands over his shoulders.

"Come on Eric, let's do it." Chris said.

"We'll support you." Erika said.

"Blake is not someone that would say such things without having them planned beforehand, let's trust him." Elizabeth added.

"Then…?" I asked.

If it was up to me, I would do it myself. But currently I am busy dealing with the heads. Eleanora and I are the strongest here, and we have saved up our energy the most. If we don't distract the heads, everyone is just going to get eaten before they can conjure anything.

"Okay, I'll try, don't blame me if it goes badly!" Eric cried.

"It won't." I said. "I've already calculated it."

Eric immediately grabbed a staff he had been gifted by his parents, made out of what was called Lesser Yggdrasil Wood. It was unknown if it was actually the Yggdrasil Tree itself, but there are a few Spirit Trees out there named Yggdrasil as well, one of them is "lesser Yggdrasil". When I touched the staff itself, I immediately felt a mystical and spiritual connection back then.

This staff was a perfect catalyst for the [Yggdrasil Cannon] Spell, a powerful Tier 5 Spell capable of decimating anything Undead. However, the spell can only be used with a catalyst, and this staff itself was good enough! Eric didn't know where did his uncle and aunt got this for him, as they kept it a secret, but seeing how one of his ancestors could had visited the real tree, this might be a family relic for all we know.

Eric hit the floor, as an enormous magic circle began to quickly construct itself. The staff channeled mystical and ancient spiritual powers within the circle, slowly building it up in mere seconds. The rest of the children stayed with him, joining him by infusing their Mana and elements. Erika used her Priest Dolls for Holy Light Element, while Chris infused his Mana for the most part, which was still useful.

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, the power of all four of them began to slowly connect, as Eric nervously chanted the incantation, a sudden sapling emerged out of the ground, growing larger and larger into a young tree, and then, an adult one. The tree slowly shaped itself into a cannon-like appearance, as the four kids were amazed by what they were seeing.

The innate spiritual powers Eric held within his Spirit Orb activated, as his vines shone bright gold, entangling the cannon made of wood and changing its power and shape, making it stronger and more compact…

Enormous quantities of Mana and Spiritual Essence gathered together, as Eleanora and I swiftly ran away from the range of the attack, the cannon quickly shone brightly, as if it were a star itself, the power of Exorcism conjured by Elizabeth merged with Eric's affinities, forming a truly wondrous magical spell.

All four of them quickly gathered their resolve, opening their eyes once more. Threads of spiritual and magical essence flowed into Eric and the ever-growing tree. All four of them synchronized their voices.

"Ritual Magic: [Yggdrasil Cannon]!!!"

FLAAAAAAAAASSSSHHH!!!

It was as if the entire world suddenly turned completely white.
