Chapter 240: The Spirit of Vengeance (Part 1)
"Deal, do you know who my last trade partner was?"
"Mephisto, it should be him. Among the Hell Lords, he is the only one who likes to drive the Warriors in the human world. Say, do you have the eye of judgment? ”
"You know, so what are you? Is he the same devil as he is? An Eastern devil? ”
"No, no, I'm not one of those hellish things, am I? I am an authentic human being. A human magician. I only occasionally trade with creatures from other planes. ”
"I've been a Combatant for a while. But I've never met a human mage. ”
"That's natural. There are still quite a few mages in this world. But there aren't many people who dare to come face to face with you. You may not know how famous the Men of Arms are in the world. You have never been exposed to the deeper inner world, not because it does not exist. It's because it's avoiding you. After all, that thing inside you...... Sometimes it's not obedient. And by its standards, there are simply too few sinless people in this world. Honestly, there are very few mages who dare to come face to face with it. ”
"Do you know what it is? I simply can't control it a lot of the time. And it cannot endure any criminal acts, and there is only one way for him to be punished, which is death. ”
"Vengeful Spirit, that's the name. I don't know much about hell. One thing is for sure, though, it's out of your control. You have no power in your own right, you are just a vehicle for its appearance in the world. And the carrier has a lifespan. So, do you want to change everything?"
"What do I have to give?" As someone who has made a deal with the devil, Carter knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
"Work for me."
"Hehe, I'm working for a demon king right now. It looks like the boss is earned by changing to a human one. However, as an adult, I know that human beings are more terrible than the devil in many cases. So, you need to be a little more sincere. ”
"I have given my sincerity. I can help you with that thing inside you. And let you retain its power. In exchange, you worked for me for two hundred years. ”
"Do you know what 200 years is?"
"Two hundred years is fleeting relative to eternal life. Do you know? The spirit of vengeance is immortal. But you won't be its eternal host. I don't know what's going on. But I know of no knight who will live more than a hundred years. Again, you are only carriers, not power. ”
"One hundred years." Carter tried to make a counteroffer.
"It's a one-of-a-kind deal, so we don't accept counteroffers."
"As far as I know, I'm also the only one of the Troopers in existence, so why do you think I have no room for counter-offering."
"There are only two mages in this world who can solve your problems, and one is me. The other one is my friend. So you don't have a choice. ”
"No, I have a choice. I choose to continue serving the Demon King. Maybe my next mission is to hunt you down. In that case, even serving the Demon King will make me happy. ”
"You won't, like you won't pay back the debt you collected today to your boss. Am I right? Carter. ”
Lin Xuan's words hit the deepest secret in Carter's heart. He knew that Mephisto valued the deal very much. So it was intended to withhold this debt and use it as a bargaining chip to get out of Mephisto's control. He's not stupid, he's working under a demon king like Mephisto, and if he can get a good death, the sun really has to come out of the west. That's why he has the adventure he has today. He never wanted to give the contract back to Mephisto. He's going to betray his boss tonight. But now the mysterious wizard in front of him had shattered his plan in such a positive tone, which made him a little frightened.
Carter, who was in a state of agitation, only felt a hot power gushing out of his body. At this moment, the spirit of revenge actually wanted to forcibly appear.
It's just that Lin Xuan's movements are faster. I saw that with a wave of his right hand, countless flashing runes appeared in midair. Then it quickly sank into Carter's body. in a perspective that is invisible to others. These runes quickly combined into a complete sealing system. forcibly suppressed the vengeful spirit that wanted to appear.
"It's going to be dark soon. You need to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Carter stroked his body in horror and found that he had turned back into a human form. It was the first time he had successfully resisted the appearance of that thing. The image of the wizard in front of him in his heart has undoubtedly risen a lot.
"What did you do?"
"I only sealed it temporarily. But it won't last. I don't know much about this hellish stuff. So you need to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
By this time, however, the last rays of the sun's brilliance had passed. Carter only felt that the Saint Van Gonza Pact on his body began to emit some kind of scorching temperature.
"It's time." Carter took out the contract.
“@¥¥%%…… & amp; ……”
Carter read out the words on the contract in a language that Lin Xuan didn't understand, probably in the language of some kind of devil in hell.
Lin Xuan instantly felt that something in the souls of everyone in the entire town was ignited. Everyone's bodies were reduced to ashes in that instant. And in the ashes that flew in the sky, some numb souls flew out. It was sealed in a contract. The whole process doesn't seem to be quite the same as the movies Lin Xuan has seen.
Carter uttered the last of the ancient, words themselves with some kind of magical power. The contract quickly ignited some kind of dark blue flame in his hand. The souls of the sky also dissipated. Of course, in Lin Xuan's perception, they left this world and entered an unknown world.
"I will have a new assignment soon. So, what needs to be done. Are we going to sign a contract? ”
"No, there is no need for any contract. You just have to say, you agree. ”
"Okay, I agree."
Lin Xuan's right hand ignited a miserable green flame. Slowly stretched out to Carter's chest.
"It's going to be painful, be prepared."
Carter only felt a magma energy glad to have broken into his body. At the same time, his body responded quickly, and it didn't go through his own brain at all.
It was the purest power of darkness. It gushes out of an unknown corner of its body. It collided with the energy that invaded his body. Carter only felt as if a grenade had exploded in his body. At that moment, Carter passed out in the truth. But the abilities given to him by the Troopers kept him awake.
For Lin Xuan, it was a completely different experience. He didn't care about Carter's experience, and he couldn't die anyway. What he has to do is find the demon in Carter's body and erase its will. Only in this way can Carter perfectly inherit the power of the vengeful spirit.
