944 Soul Talent 1 (1/2)
When Dyon was in the process of taking out the soul contract, before anyone could see what happened, Elder Nove's hand shot forward at blinding speeds, destroying the parchment.
Dyon's eyes sharpened at this action. He could very clearly see Elder Nove's actions. However, he was surprised to find that even if he wanted, he couldn't have dodged him.
In that moment, Dyon's brain went into overdrive. Just why would Elder Nova destroy the parchment and so blatantly? In fact, from the looks of it, his power far surpassed Elder Rhode, or else he would have noticed Elder Nova's actions…
Elder Nova stepped forward, hiding Dyon's awkward position as though nothing had happened and taking out another parchment paper from his own ring.
When Dyon saw the type of parchment paper it was, he immediately understood.
'Is the hate of the soul really so deeply ingrained in this quadrant that they don't even allow the use of soul contracts?' At that moment, Dyon was very thankful. Although he wasn't afraid of the experts of this quadrant, if he so blatantly incurred their wrath, his mission would basically come to an end before it even began.
”Let's sign a blood contract then.” Elder Nova said with a smile. He was confident in Dyon to understand the meaning of his actions. Or, more accurately, he was testing Dyon. If this young man couldn't understand, he wasn't worth helping at all.
”Good.” The red robed elder's eyes gleamed, clearly confident in his victory, completely unaware of the fact that his long-time ”rival” had surpassed him by more than a thousand times over, long ago.
Elder Nova sent a casual glance back toward Dyon. Seeing that he was standing calmly, with his hands clasped behind his back, Elder Nova nodded in satisfaction. However, he also began to wonder just who Dyon truly was. By all logic, a true member of the Jafari family should understand the taboo of soul related cultivation and treasures here… Unless, Patriarch Bol purposefully hid it from his son. After all, for Dyon to show up here alone, he clearly didn't have the full support of the Jafari family.
'Unless… Is the Jafari family already here?' Elder Nova's brows slightly tightened. But, in the end, he couldn't figure out the truth and could only let it be.
After the two parties worked out the contract and dripped their blood onto it, the brown parchment paper turned a bright shade of red before burning into nothingness. With that, the contract was complete.

”Asyna, why the fuck did you drag me out here? You know Lilith told us to not move around so much.”
A girl with an adorably round face, partially covered with bangs and cutely bob cut hair. While her hair was a glistening brunette, her eyes were large and a mesmerizing shade of blue. She exuded a doll-like air that made anyone who saw her have the instinct to protect her. It made everyone completely forget her foul language.
