All My Summons Become Divine Girls

The second body entered before the final audit glyph finished writing, and Lucan crossed without falling or losing his balance.

He stepped through the black gap with both feet beneath him, while one raised hand reached toward the pursuit line behind his shoulder.

Lucan’s material body looked almost whole, though a narrow red cut crossed his throat before continuing beneath the collar and widening with each breath.

The cut carried no blood, yet every breath pulled its edges farther apart across the crossing portion of his chest.

Lucan saw Hajin holding Cessy’s wrist, then looked toward Vella’s gold without making any move toward either person while the broken route tugged behind him.

"Keep treating the wounds that belong to her," he said. "Leave the order marks attached until I cut the pursuit."

Vella did not move until Cessy answered for herself, and her gold remained suspended above the branch she could not safely enter.

"He is right about the route," Cessy said, breathing through the pain. "Treat what you can enter without taking its authority."

Lucan turned his raised hand toward the gap, and five black lines appeared between his fingers like narrow cuts in darkness.

The pursuit route widened behind him, revealing pale shapes pressed against the far boundary while hooked tools waited for bodies.

Lucan drew one finger across the five lines, then closed his hand before the waiting shapes could cross the threshold.

The route folded sharply, cutting the pale shapes away from the room while a heavy recoil struck Lucan’s chest and shook the crossing line.

The red cut opened from collarbone to ribs, though Lucan kept his hand raised until the last pursuit line vanished.

Cessy reached for him before remembering that her own arm remained in Hajin’s hand, and the hesitation hurt her face.

Hajin released her wrist only after Aegis held the broken route stable, leaving Cessy free to decide where her body stood.

Lucan wiped the empty edge of his throat with two fingers, then inspected the dark residue left across his skin.

"I severed the order behind me," he said. "The body below may still remember where I went."

Cessy tried to stand, while Vella placed one gold hand beneath her elbow and kept the punishment branches outside the support.

"I am not here to command your healer," Lucan added, while his eyes moved once toward Vella’s Spirit Ring before turning away.

Didi kept five Shards open around the audit seal, though the final glyph burned beneath her frost without completing its outer connection.

"State your purpose before the route chooses one for you," Didi said, holding her bleeding palm above the stone.

Lucan faced her with the exhausted courtesy of someone refusing to kneel, while the broken crossing twisted behind him and dragged at his wounded chest.

"I am here to prevent Cessy from being surrendered for execution," he said. "I am not here to serve your household."

The sentence reached the room cleanly, and Cessy’s expression changed before she could hide what the refusal meant to her.

Hajin noticed the change while keeping his attention on the route, since Lucan’s choice belonged to Cessy rather than to him.

’Lucan chose Cessy, not me, and that distinction matters when every frightened person wants a new ally from the first person who refuses the order.’

Juna rested two fingers against Hajin’s forearm, checking his pulse through the four open Rings beneath his sleeve while the foundation pressure climbed.

"You are carrying too much pressure through one side," she said. "Let Loccy take the foundation before your shoulder remembers the old wound."

Loccy stepped beneath the cracked floor and accepted the room’s weight through both planted legs, while Ferra drove another ceramic wedge into the support.

"The bed stays level," Loccy said, as pale fault lines opened beneath her feet. "Nobody drops into the route today."

Ferra checked the wedge’s angle, then looked from the completed seal toward Lucan’s damaged crossing body while her gauges trembled.

"Your cut closed the pursuit, but it did not close the warrant or remove its landing mark."

"The seal belongs to the Collector’s authority," Lucan replied. "My authorization can cut a pursuit branch, not the original warrant."

The final glyph completed beneath Didi’s frost, and black light spread through the floor before stopping at her frozen jurisdiction.

[ Audit Seal Inscription: Complete ]

[ Authority: Royal Collector, Underworld Registry ]

[ Function: Summons, Lien, Warrant ]

The panel flashed across Hajin’s sight, and the completed circle answered from somewhere far below the foundation while black pressure rose through the stone.

Lucan’s expression tightened before the route behind him collapsed into one black thread that remained connected to his back beneath the widening wound.

"It has the landing mark now," he said. "The Collector can recognize this room without another report."

Cessy leaned against Vella while the healer sealed another red branch, then looked toward Lucan with exhausted disbelief as the route pulled again.

"Lucan falsified the Arc 9 report," Cessy said, staring at the thread behind him. "He hid the growth you reached."

Lucan did not deny it, though the red cut across his chest widened whenever the thread pulled against his material body.

"I removed the Fragment percentage, the sixth Ring, the Sanctuary conditions, and the wound’s stable resonance."

Hajin felt his jaw tighten while the completed seal pulsed beneath his boots and the old shoulder wound answered beneath the camp floor.

"Why hide the wound instead of hiding the entire event?"

"A complete lie would have triggered another review," Lucan replied. "A damaged record could pass as agent error."

Cessy looked at him sharply, with anger crossing her face before gratitude could find a place beside it while the wound reopened.

"You told them the Collector failed from local contamination."

"The failure began inside the room," Lucan answered. "I left out the name of the local force that caused it."

The Stream carried the exchange across Earth, and the comments arrived beneath the black line tied to Lucan’s body while viewers watched the route.

[ CringeSlayer91: ] the cold demon admitted he forged the report and still refuses to join the hero team

[ NewViewer_02: ] he protected her without becoming good, which is honestly better writing

[ ashley (Mod): ] record the distinction and keep the medical situation visible

Juna leaned close enough for her hair to brush Hajin’s cheek, while one hand remained over his old shoulder wound.

"I like him slightly more now," she whispered. "That is not permission for you to trust him."

"I was planning to distrust him with care," Hajin whispered back, keeping his mouth close to her ear.

Her mouth touched his cheek for one quick breath, then she returned her attention to the broken crossing while Hajin steadied his shoulder.

The small contact steadied him more effectively than the room deserved, though the warrant beneath them continued searching for a route.

Lucan watched the exchange without amusement, then turned toward Cessy while the punishment line around his chest brightened beneath the broken route.

"The order below requires me to bring you back for correction," he said. "I knew that before I crossed."

Cessy’s breathing stopped for half a moment, and Vella’s gold tightened around the safe branch beneath her ribs while Lucan waited.

"You still followed," Cessy said, staring at the wound in his chest.

"The order requires surrender," Lucan replied. "I am refusing that part, not offering safety, forgiveness, or service to this household."

Cessy looked down at the blood on her fingers, then smiled without happiness while the room held space around her answer.

"That is the kindest thing you have said to me in three hundred years."

Vella shifted her gold toward a branch beneath Cessy’s ribs, and the treatment light stayed outside the gray punishment writing.

"Your body is failing along the crossing edge," Vella said. "If you keep standing, I will need to use the safe branches faster."

"Then I will sit," Cessy replied, lowering herself beside the bed. "I am tired of making pain prove my loyalty."

Elina brought a folded blanket without crossing the child’s chosen space, then set it near Cessy’s uninjured hand while keeping her own visible.

The child watched Lucan from beneath her hood, though her face remained hidden while the completed seal searched for her old designation.

Lucan lowered himself to one knee at a distance, keeping both hands visible beneath the black light while the child watched him.

"I did not come to your room by choice," he told the child. "I came to cut the order behind Cessy."

The child did not answer, though her fingers loosened around the blanket and the Sanctuary steadied beneath her skin while the seal searched.

Didi held the completed seal’s outer edge while Hajin kept five Rings open against its pressure and watched the child.

"The mark is finished, and your five Shards cannot deny a completed foreign warrant forever," Hajin said.

"I can hold its route for hours," Didi replied. "The next step requires the person it addresses to remain free inside this room."

Hajin looked toward the child, then kept his voice gentle beneath the distant pulse while the warrant reached across the floor.

"Nothing in this warrant can make her answer."

The child remained silent, and that silence stayed hers while the final thread behind Lucan began to burn through the foundation.

Lucan rose as the black line pulled toward the floor, then faced the completed seal without looking at Hajin while his wound continued opening.

"The Collector will not send another agent first," he said. "The order has changed from observation to recovery."

Aria translated the thread’s frequency beside the finished warrant, adding no prediction beyond what the route already showed while black light filled the room.

[ Incoming Authority: Direct Recovery ]

[ Agent Protection Clause: Revoked ]

[ Crossing Risk: Rising ]

Hajin saw the final line and understood why Cessy had chosen a broken route through the camp instead of waiting beneath the Underworld’s authority.

The old agents had been ordered to keep him alive, while the new order accepted any death that left the Fragment recoverable.

Lucan faced the sealed floor, with his back still connected to the disappearing route while the last black line tightened.

"You have less time than the old report promised."

The black seal pulsed once beneath Didi’s frost, and a distant claw answered from below through the newly completed warrant.

The shared exile had entered a room that no longer contained a safe side for Cessy, Lucan, or the child beneath the bed.
