Chapter 763 - Crete Island 1 (2/2)

“Humans are the creatures who live in arrogance and then collapse. The same goes for you.”

“Shut. Up, Bargosa!”

“That can’t be done. I don’t remember signing that in the contract.”

“Kuek! You. And. Your. Contract! The. Contract!”

Arsene burst into anger but didn’t forget the contract which gave him the right to order Bargosa.

Arsene thought for a while and hit his jawbone which was stuck and spoke to Bargosa.

“I want to become twice as strong as I was, no thrice as strong. So teach me!”

“You want to win over the man called Luke?”

“Yes, I do! So show me how to get strong!”

At Arsene’s request, Bargosa smiled.

“If he is such a strong enemy, there is no need to fight him.”

“What? There. Is. No. need. To. Fight. Him?”

“Yes, the human lifespan is over 100 years. Some people with excellent skills live past it, but they rarely live over 200 years,”

“What. Are. You. Trying. To say?”

Despite Arsene’s frown growing deeper, Bargosa didn’t stop speaking.

“Just stop paying attention to the outside world, and stay in seclusion for 200 years. After some time, he will be nothing but a skinny skeleton, then you can take him and use him as your toy, how is that?”

“Kul! You. Are. A. realistic. Person!”

“Because that is the kind of advice I can give.”

Shrugging his shoulders Bargosa replied.

Prior to signing his contract with Arsene, he was working as the Demon King’s underman.

At that time, the situation of the Devildom was so confused that the future turned scary, so Bargosa, thinking realistically, distanced himself from the Demon King.

However, Arsene was different from the Demon King whom Bargosa served.

“Seclusion. I. can’t. do that! Right. Now. Luke is. Growing strong. I need. To. Take. Him. Down! And. Take. Down. His. Lover. In front. Of. His. Eyes!”

He was so angry, that his jawbone began to rattle again.

“This is an opponent who beat you twice, I don’t want to recommend you to go and fight.”

Bargosa spoke with a very cold tone, Arsene barely restrained himself from punching the demon.

“You. Might. Be. Realistic. Type. But, would. That. Luke. Stay. Still. Without. Taking me. Down? He. Would. Turn. The continent. Upside. Down. To. Find. My Life. Vessel!”

“But he won’t come to this island. In the past 300 years, the only one who came to this island was that demon.”

“A demon? Came. Here?”

When Arsene was shocked, Bargosa told him about the demon which was spying on him.

Arsene turned more anxious as the story went.

“if. Luke. Was. In. contact. With that. Demon… then. He. Will. Know. Of. This. Place.”

“He won’t. that lower demon is very unlikely to survive my attack.”

“But. Just. In. case!”

Seeing Arsene turn all nervous, Bargosa could imagine what kind of forces Arsene was dealing with.

The fact that this human Luke wasn’t an easy one.

“There is no way to make your power suddenly twice or thrice. No, there is a way, but your abilities are lacking.”

“My. Abilities. Are. Lacking?”

“Yes, so take your Life Vessel and run away. To a place out of his sight.”

Arsene was disappointed with Bargosa’s answer.

But then, a thought entered his mind.

“If. You can’t. then. The. Demon King. Might!”

Arsene laughed frantically.

It was because there was no way he had a sacrifice that could be given to summon a Demon King.

Until then, there were many warlocks who tried to summon the Demon King but seeing that, none of them had succeeded. Arsene guessed that the difficulty of getting it done was high.

But, would it be possible for Arsene who lost all his life force and weakened body to summon it?

In a gentle tone, Bargosa gave him an advice.

“Don’t create bigger problems, Arsene. You don’t have the time or means to do it. Even if you did, where is the offering that you want to give to a Demon King?”

“The. Offering. Is. Right. In Front. Of. You.”

“… are you in your right mind, Arsene?”

Arsene was a Lich who lived for 500 years.

He was also the first one to become the white magic wizard of the 9th circle and the 9th magic circle of the black magic.

But to sacrifice himself?!

Signing a contract with a demon meant that the humans would turn into a slave after death.

Of course, since the contract with Bargosa was done 300 years back, there was an equal relationship between the two.

However, no matter how great Arsene’s power was, there was no way he could hold an equal footing with a Demon King.

“Do you have any idea what it means to be a slave to the demon?”

“I know. But. I. need. To. Take. Down. That, Luke!”

He was willing to the level of selling his soul to the devil.

Bargosa, who looked at it, laughed out loud.

In order to gain strength and eternal life, Arsene who abandoned humanity and turned into a Lich was clearly showing foolish human behavior.
