Chapter 176: City of Flames (1/2)

Pausing at my earlier words, I lowered my head, pondering for a moment. Sending Zanris a curious glance, I turned my attention to Orion still on his knees. Drawing closer, I spoke coldly, ”Do not resist.”

<demonic vassal=””></demonic>

This was totally unnecessary as I already had complete control of Orion due to our verbal contract, but even though he didn't complete his side of his contract didn't mean the contract would vanish. Once he denied his promise, my terms kicked in, but should he call for the wyvern, my control 'could' vanish, allowing him to be free. There were many loopholes in verbal contracts, but they were in a way better than written contracts.

Paling at the massive drain, I bitterly smiled as I activated the Demonic Sacerlege Mantra. Pushing qi back into my body, I looked at my slave with a delectable smile, ”Rise little Orion, and Call your wyvern. I wish to leave.”

Looking up with broken eyes, Orion bitterly nodded. I could see the struggle, but he still raised his arms, ”Come to me, Loris.”

Suddenly the wind began to pick up as I felt a powerful draconic aura begin to radiate out. The hairs on my neck began to rise as I felt a powerful suppressive force upon my body. The skies quickly began to darken as I saw a massive dragon blast through the rubble of ice, landing with a destructive blast.

Pushing my qi out, I smiled as my armor also activated, shielding me from the rubble. Licking my lips, I eyed the massive wyvern staring down at my slave with reverence. Suddenly Dragonsbane began to ring out, to my surprise.

”Huh?”

Opening my eyes, Loris suddenly turned to me as horror filled its eyes. The skies swiftly began to darken as darkness began to flow from the heavens like mist. Showering us in pure darkness that held the appearance of flames.

”Typhoeus?” I whispered as Zanris and Orion crashed into the floor. Blood began to leak from her orifices as they shivered, not daring to look up.

”Form a contract with it, Papa,” the childish voice of Typhoeus sounded as I gasped.

”You truly are a child.... wait, papa?”

”Hmph, dumb dumb, hurry up.” She beckoned with annoyance as I dashed towards Loris with a happy smile as she never dared looked into my eyes. Like an obedient dog, Loris didn't even resist as I place my emblem within her soul.

Falling to my knees, I gasped for air as perspiration ran over my armor like streams. Gazing weakly at Dragonsbane shine with dark light, I spoke, ”So, it was you all this time. That's why Dragansbane felt alive. You are living within it.

”Yes, big bad Zeus seal me long ago, and I had long been forgotten. You are the first being to call upon my name. Typhoeus will now be reborn from this spear. She will follow papa one day.” Typhoeus joyfully shouted, causing me to smile at her cute voice.

”Grow strong, papa, and don't forget to give Typhoeus some souls. Transferring my consciousness into this spear while also turning it into my nature is difficult. Typhoeus needs your help.”

Wiping the sweat from my brow, I tried to rise only to fail. Bitterly laughing, I nodded, ”of course, you can have half all the souls within this prison. It's all yours.”

I had no reason not to trust Typhoeus. She had helped me many times. She was a major help, not to mention I had a familiar feeling as if we were both ones with the darkness. It was like we were brother and sister. Darkness truly is strange.

Watching Dragonsbane shiver, I smiled before it vanished in a flash of light. Opening my eyes wide, I suddenly frowned as everything grew quiet. It all happened in just a second, but as I blinked, Dragonsbane appeared once more.

Hearing a burp, I had a bad feeling as Typhoeus spoke, ”Papa... Typhoeus ate them all... sorry, but you can have the cores. I have no use for them.” she joyfully explain without a hint of guilt.
