Chapter 1510 Fooling The Fiend (2/2)
”I know you've been observing me. What do you think? How's my resilience?” Darren asked with a cocky smile.
”Humph!”
The fiend walked up beside him.
”Seeing you like this may mak
as his subordinate or not.
”What's going on? Do we have a deal or not? You only have two choices. You can either kill me and continue being trapped here, or get out with my help and protect me till I improve and return to the land of the Primitive Wilderness. The choice is yours,” Darren said, seemingly growing impatient.
The fiend heaved a huge sigh of defeat, caving in and finally saying, ”I can protect you, but only when my abilities allow it. Once my life is in danger, I will reserve the right to run for safety.”
Darren pretended to have to think it over for a while first. Eventually he agreed, ”Deal. Now swear your loyalty.”
”Damn it!” the fiend cursed angrily. He then swore to protect Rand, the great superior fiend, to the best of his abilities.
This oath was invalid as Darren was of course not this so-called Rand at all. But it did not matter; he was never going to let this fiend survive anyway.
It was not that he didn't need the protection, but in the abyss, oaths might not be effective. He wouldn't take the risk.
”Okay, get ready to let me tear your soul apart.”
”Rand, if you dare cheat me, I will still kill you, even if only a trace of my soul is left. You understand, do you not?”
Judging by his strength, it was true he would not die instantly, even if his soul was torn apart. He felt he would still be able to kill Darren.
”You are too suspicious. Don't worry, I will not put my own life at risk against you,” Darren responded.
”Yes, I don't think you will,” sneered the fiend. As far as he knew, Darren was very weak and would soon die without his protection.
