Chapter 50: Doing the Impossible! (1/2)

”Are you willing to pay the price?”

Kevin was someone who could be considered as having seen everything that the world has to offer. Having been alive for the last several thousands of years, one could say that Kevin was an experienced Spirit. But this was the first time that he heard such words.

Back then, whenever humans desired for his service or wanted him to be their Blessed Artifact. All of them would be incredibly respectful to him. But this man, this person who had transcended time and space to go back to the past was obviously not a simple man.

Kevin couldn't look at him as if he was an ordinary human.

In other words, he had to seriously contemplate Calvin's offer for Calvin really had the capability to help him escape this nightmare of a place.

”Can you let me see the contract first?” Kevin scratched his cheek. He felt that it was somewhat shameful for him to be doubtful against an ordinary human like Calvin. But since he was going to be Calvin's Blessed Artifact, some formalities were required like the existence and signing of a contract.

”What contract?” Calvin turned to look at Kevin in confusion.

”What?” Kevin also stared at him, ”You don't have a contract for me to sign?”

”Yeah, why do I need something like that?”

”You...”

Kevin facepalmed.

”How else are you going to make sure that I am not going to betray you?”

”Oh, that? I trust that you won't do that.”

Kevin was speechless.

Was this guy really a centenarian Apex Predator at the Writer Profession who traveled through time and space to rectify his mistakes in the past? Why was he being so carefree? Will he not really bind me with a contract? Kevin couldn't understand Calvin's train of thought.

Calvin could see the confusion on Kevin's face.

”I understand why you are so confused. But I don't really intend on making you sign a contract. It's because I trust you, this may be the first time that we met but you can say that I've already trusted you ever since I laid my eyes on you.”

Calvin stared right at Kevin.

His eyes radiating sincerity that Kevin couldn't possibly deny.

But when he heard Calvin's words, Kevin felt a shiver down his spine.

”Fuck off! I may be an androgynous spirit, but I don't swing that way!”

”Hahaha...” Calvin lightly chuckled, ”All right, I'll stop. So, what about it? Are you willing to be my Blessed Artifact?”

”Heh...” Kevin revealed a smirk, ”If you can release me from this nightmare without making me sign a soul-binding contract, then do you really think that I won't agree? There's no better deal than that!”

”You're agreeing? All right!” Calvin made a fist-pumping gesture.

”All right, then let's go and make that grand formation that we need to let you escape from this place. Are you sure that you can place an illusion that encompasses the entire Mount Spirit Sword Asylum without it being detected by Fivecent?”

”If you can't, then I can help you.” Calvin lifted a cheeky smile.

Kevin fumed.

”Of course, I can! Who do you think I am? I lived for several thousands of years, lived through countless epochs, and saw the downfall of innumerable kingdoms and empires...”

”Do you really think that I can't do something as simple as an illusion? I also know quite a bit of Runecrafting myself, so don't think that you're so magnificent because you know a thing or two about Runecrafting!” He couldn't help but rebuke Calvin when he saw the cheeky smile on Calvin's face.

”All right, calm down. I admit that you're that good. I'll go ahead and make the paper that we need for the grand formation.” Calvin didn't tarry any longer.

He took out his small notebook and tore a page from it.

Afterwards, he bit his uninjured left cheek and spat a mouthful of blood on his left palm.

He then smeared that blood on the paper that he was holding on his right hand.

”W-W-Wait, stop!”
