Chapter 789: A Deal from the Abyss
No one will end well in trading with demons, and there has never been a shortage of mages in history who think they can control demons, and there are even high-ranking people who hire mages to summon succubi in order to satisfy their own desires, but the end result of these people is a miserable end for being devoured by demons.
Claire is a slave, but after receiving the gem and starting to learn magic, she has also read descriptions of demons in many magic books, they are the embodiment of chaos, hatred, pain, fear, The spreaders of despair and death, who may have been summoned to the present world by the mages at first, will show their submission, but behind the surrender, they will rack their brains to plot countless conspiracies, plotting against their masters all the time, no matter how much kindness they give, no matter how much they try to establish feelings and trust with them, but in the end they are meaningless in the face of these absolutely disorderly existences!
Demons can never be trusted!
Claire's diary stolen from the cultist praised the demon as a great being who could do anything, and perhaps people would see the same thing differently depending on their position.
In that caseββ
When the demon proposed a deal, Claire did not happily agree or refuse mercilessly, but cautiously asked the question, what can the other party give herself, and what she needs to repay the other party!
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and Claire knows it all these days, especially these days.
"I thought you demons liked fools. β
"Then answer me quickly, what can you give me in your so-called deal, and what is the price I pay?"
Clair paused, and then quietly put on the recently learned spell shield for herself. After stopping the activation of power, he still cautiously held the gem in his hand, and as long as the demon had any suspicious behavior, then he would immediately give it a thunderous blow.
"The price?" Even though the other party offered seemingly good terms, Claire still looked calm.
Devour the souls of mortals! To be honest, this condition does not seem to be excessive, and it can even be said that it has nothing to do with Claire's half a dime, this city is a living meat grinder and hell in his eyes, I don't know how many slaves die every day, I was born in this city since I was a child, I don't know how many days I hate and curse this place and wish for the complete destruction of this city, if the demon really just wants to devour the souls of the people here. Claire was happy to see it.
Is it really that simple?
Claire asked in an unceremonious questioning tone, "Don't take me for a fool, if you want to devour souls, there are so many fallen souls in this world, why did you choose me?"
"Who is it?"
In an instant, a hideous look flashed on Claire's face, this is his enemy, the biggest enemy is even more hateful than Gelket, who killed Longa, that is the hatred that makes him feel incomprehensible when he kills him, and this beast in human skin enslaves countless slaves on the entire continent, I don't know how many people have been separated from each other because of him. If Philipus is devoured by demons after his death, to Claire to all who hate him. This is the most suitable way to die for this scumbag.
"Is Phillips special?" Claire struggled to keep her composure, but still gritted her teeth at the mention of Philiples' name.
"My power?" Claire glanced at the gem in her hand, "β It's the power of this stone, right?"
Claire fell silent and fell into thought, she really hated everything in this city, and she really wanted this city to be destroyed under the bewitchment of the demon just now, but should everyone in this city die? Although this city is depraved and hated, what about those slaves like herself. What about the slave fighters who are still fighting in the arena, do they deserve to die too?
Claire only showed a hesitant look for a few seconds, and the powerful will in the abyss began a new bewitchment, as a consciousness body that did not know that it had existed in this world for thousands of years, the consciousness from the abyss simply broke through Claire's spiritual defense.
For the consciousness of the abyss, although this boy holds a gem with great power, he has always been a minor child, suffering may have forged a strong will in his short life, but too hasty time has not yet built a good brain for him to think logically, and driven by pain and hatred, any demon in the abyss who is good at demagoguery can easily break through his mental defenses, stir his mind, reshape his personality, and distort his reason and personality. Let him be a servant at his own send.
"I can make this deal with you, but I don't trust you~ demon!" Eventually, Claire took a deep breath and said as if she had let go.
"Listen to your tone, to be honest, it really doesn't look like a demon!" Claire was a little surprised by the words of the demon in front of her, which seemed to be different from the rumored chaotic demon.
Claire couldn't help but shake her head: "This sentence is still like a little demon." But is this how you demons have always spoken out without any scruples?"
"Okay. Claire nodded with satisfaction: "Then from now on we can cooperate, and then as you promised, you will teach me magic and give me your power!"
ββββββ
Claire was silent for a moment, and the demon seemed unable to come to her world for some reason. You need to use the gems in your hands to enter this world, and activating the power of gems is very simple, and only one thought of your own is enough. Although there may be some sequelae, as long as the amount of use is well controlled, and the power does not act on itself, but on external objects, then the impact on oneself will be very small. It's just that I have to think deeply about one thing, if I expand the so-called space blockade like this, will the other party's power directly turn around and do it to myself after coming to the present world, this is really a problem.
"You are very smart and know how to read people's hearts!"
The demon thought of what he thought almost every time, and Claire had to be more wary of the other party, but this time she didn't know that the other party was from the heart. Or is it just trying to numb yourself. Clenching the gem in his hand, the only thing the boy could be sure of was that the power of the gem made the demon scruples, and it was very, very scruples.
After thinking for a moment, Claire held the blue gem between her two fingers and asked, "Do you know where this gem came from?"
The demons don't know the origin of this gem, is it something that belongs to the gods?
"What is the Origin?" Claire frowned, as if the gem had a lot of origin.
"The source of power to create the worldββ" Claire was stunned for a while.
However, it was only a brief moment of shock, and Claire did not forget one thing, as the demon said, this power did not belong to her, nor was it something she could control. Claire believed that neither she nor Lunga had activated a tiny fraction of the gem's full power.
"Well, in that caseββ" calmed her mind, Claire had activated the gem with her mind.
In an instant, the consciousness from the abyss felt the blockade from the surrounding space suddenly disappear, and the negative feelings accumulated in the city continued to pour into his body, and the meeting point was formed almost instantly, opening a passage from the present world to the abyss.
What a joy it is!
More and more black slime matter in the void was squeezed out and fused with the butterfly, and gradually more and more black slime finally formed a humanoid shape, slowly standing up in front of Claire. (To be continued.) )
