376 Do Not Believe in Demons Part 2 (1/2)
”Nailisi, Master might not be happy with what you have done to Jola.” The winged skeleton's voice appeared in Nailisi's mind.
Nailisi was surprised. How can winged skeleton communicate with my soul directly? Even though my soul has evolved into something stronger, the winged skeleton is a grade-7 spirit of the dead. This! This! This!
”What are you afraid of? We are both Master's summoned creatures. I have been able to communicate with you ever since I surmounted grade-6.” The winged skeleton was not as respectful and cautious as before. It obviously showed no fear towards Nailisi.
Nailisi replied angrily, ”Mind your own business and drive your ship!”
Jola saw Nailisi go quiet so he slipped away. Nailisi continued communicating with the winged skeleton.
”Master has his own plans for Jola. Perhaps you didn't do anything wrong this time, but when you do something wrong next time, I will tell Master,” the winged skeleton laughed coldly.
Nailisi was getting anxious and impatient. An ominous look shot from her eyes when she said, ”Would you believe me if I said I would eat your soul?”
”No, my soul is bonded with Master. If Master doesn't die, I'll have the chance of being reborn.” The winged skeleton added, ”Unless you ate Master too. Then, I would die.”
”Do you think I wouldn't dare?”
”If you dare, go ahead and do so. Master is just upstairs with Sika.”
Nailisi was burning in rage. She picked up the plate and bit it. Nailisi chewed up the porcelain plate that was tougher than metal and swallowed it.
”Throwing a tantrum won't help. Anyway, I roughly know everything that you want to do.” The voice of winged skeleton could not be silenced.
Nailisi grit through her teeth, ”So what do you want?”
”That's a good question. I am always in the ship and I cannot leave, so if there's any opportunities for benefits in the future, count me in.”
”The greatest advantage is the ship. Don't feel discontented. Master is already nice enough to you.”
”Of course I know that, but Master has a lot of things to do and cannot take care of me everyday. I am a spirit of the dead and Master is an elemental mage. It will be difficult for me to advance again. Relying on this green spirit, I can slowly evolve. But unfortunately, it won't be much of help for Master.”
”What do you mean?”
”I am now a grade-7 spirit of the dead. The green spirit can provide me with power, but too slowly. I'll need at least another three to five hundred years until I can advance to grade-8. As for grade-9, god knows how long it will take me. If I left this ship, I couldn't even fight against you. So, I hope you can help me.”
”What if I don't?”
”Then I'll tell Jola that he has been tricked.”
Nailisi suddenly laughed and said, ”Soldier, that's not any leverage against me. Anyway, I'll try not to get on this ship in the future. What can you…”
”Even if you don't get on the ship, Master will get on. This ship is the most powerful weapon that Master has. Don't you understand Master yet? If he can't fight someone, running away is the best choice. What other ships would be more suitable than this one for running away?”
”Hmph! I am not asking you what you want me to do. I'll ask this first. What benefit do I get for doing the things that you want me to do for you?” Nailisi was not afraid that the winged skeleton would play tricks on her, as neither her nor the winged skeleton could kill the other. This ship was the winged skeleton's territory, but Nailisi had nothing to be afraid of. She wouldn't work for the winged skeleton unconditionally.
”Benefit? I think the reason you tricked Jola was to get his power and get him to work for you obediently. You are worried that you will become useless when Master surrounds himself with more powerful individuals. Am I right?”
”Hmph.”
”Nailisi, your lineage seems to be great.”
”Of course!” Nailiis replied proudly. Although she was just an imp, her bloodline was rare in the demon dimension. When she was fully grown, even supreme demons would have trouble killing her.
”If I were to give you the coordinates of the demon dimension, could you summon spirits?”
”You! What did you say?” Nailisi was shocked, The coordinates of the demon dimension? She had left the Myers Goddess' Temple for a few years, trailing behind Saleen while constantly looking for related information. However, she could not even find anything about the coordinates of the demon dimension in Raphael's magic tower.
Saleen had obtained a demon suit, but everything related to the coordinates on the suit had disappeared.
Nailisi remained silent for a while before she said, ”Soldier, Master is an elemental mage but doesn't really like summoning spells. The two of us may be his last summoned creatures. Master may be nice to us, but he doesn't have much of an idea on how to help us increase our power. Let me be frank with you. If there are coordinates for the demon dimension, give me a few years' time and I would be able to summon demons and these demons would listen to me. Then, I would be able to form a demon army.”
”You told me all this. Aren't you afraid that I would demand more?”
”I can't hide it from you anyway.” Nailisi could not be bothered.
”I think if I were to tell you the coordinates now, you would go back on your words. I have realized that unless I have Master's contract magic, you won't be afraid of breaking the contract.”
Nailisi's trick had been discovered, but she did not fret. She said, ”What do you want me to do for the coordinates?”
”Do you remember the warship from the Second Dynasty?”
”Mm.”
”I want everything that is left on the ship.”
