905 Greed Part 2 (1/2)

Nailisi was emotional when she received the fully-restored Twelve Notes of Purgatory. The weapon was only second to her Gray Memory. After it had been fully restored, the dimensions in the Twelve Notes of Purgatory would be expanded to a terrifying extent. She had never heard of any other equipment that contained such a massive space.

The Twelve Notes of Purgatory formed a complex structure, which was bonded together by very tight links. Six of them were elemental purgatories while the other six were rule purgatories. The Grandmaster was upset with the demon's greed and took away the weapon's spirit, as a form of compensation to himself.

That meant that Nailisi would have to control the equipment on her own in the future, but it also meant that others would not be able to snatch it away from her. The Grandmaster had utilized a loophole in the rules and Nailisi did not mind him doing so, but she could never take it lying down that the 12 powerful weapon's spirits had been taken away.

After taking over the Twelve Notes of Purgatory, Nailisi decided to mark it with her own Spiritual Imprint. She would have marked it with a Soul Brand if she was of appropriate grade as that would be safer.

After putting away the Twelve Notes of Purgatory, Nailisi did not bother checking its interior. Instead, she quickly shouted, ”Grandmaster!”

That time around, there was no laughter in the graveyard because the Grandmaster's expression was clearly a terrifying one. If Nailisi dared to make another request, the Grandmaster would kill her immediately.

”I do not request for anymore equipment. I do have four subordinates who are demons that have signed soul bonds with me though. They are weak. I hope that you can find a way to boost their powers.”

”Only four demons?”

”Of course. If the Grandmaster is willing, you can supply some equipment for my demon army too. There are only about 50,000 demons.”

The Grandmaster wished he could slap himself. He should not have asked that unnecessary question, but since he already did, he had to do something about it.

When the conversation ended, the souls in the graveyard began to cheer again.

”Demons! I love demons the most! They are loyal to their masters, and cruel to their enemies!” One of the fellows shouted.

”I love demons too! With great life power, they are the best bodyguards.”

”Demons can train in magic too. What an incredible species!”

”Yes, demons are born fighters and they are intelligent too.”

”Shut up!” Grandmaster shouted furiously. The graveyard became silent immediately. He was really angry. The rest no longer dared to tease him, for fear that he would just leave on the spot. ”Your slaves are not your weapons. A demon army of a few tens of thousands? Find a way on your own.”

The Grandmaster tried to twist his words so that he would not have to help Nailisi anymore. That was not fitting of his status, but strictly speaking, he was not going against the contract.

”Oh, Grandmaster, but I realized that there were supposed to be quite a few divine crystals in this equipment of mine. Where have they gone to?” Nailisi did not fear the Grandmaster at all. According to the rules of the contract, Nailisi and her Master were absolutely safe, as long as they had yet to depart.

”Divine crystals?”

”Grandmaster!”

”What have you done…” Even Aragorn had stepped out from his tombstone and was glaring at Grandmaster.

”They are not real divine crystals.” A colorful divine crystal appeared in the Grandmaster's hands and he showed it for everyone to see. Most of the souls saw it and felt that it was not of impressive quality and returned it back to their tombstones. They were of much lower grades compared to the four leaders, so it was not ideal for them to leave their tombstones for a long time. Only Aragorn remained, and he continued staring at Grandmaster.

”General, this is not considered as a divine crystal, right?”

”It is, to me!” Nailisi refused to relent. To think that the Grandmaster was trying to weasel his way out from her request. It might sound like a demon army of a few tens of thousands might need a lot of equipment, but in actual fact, very few demons were over grade-7 so most of them only required equipment of very low grades. To the Grandmaster, such equipment was almost like trash.

Nailisi was upset. She was determined to make the Grandmaster pay for that. No matter how stingy a person might be, he must be prepared to pay a heavy price when he encountered a greedy demon.

The Grandmaster held the divine crystal awkwardly. It was true that he had promised to help Saleen repair and make equipment, but they never mentioned that Saleen must supply the necessary materials either. Being caught red-handed by Nailisi for trying to steal the divine crystals was rather embarrassing.

By right, Nailisi should not have done so since he has already provided her with so many high-quality materials, but Nailisi was a demon, a greedy demon that was not going to give in an inch to the Grandmaster.

”There is no point for you to keep this fake divine crystal. I will exchange it with materials that can replenish mental strength for you.” Grandmaster spoke slowly. The way he looked at Nailisi was a thousand times scarier than the Angel of Fear.

Nailisi was slightly terrified but she refused to give in and there was no way she could take back her words anyway. She continued, ”Grandmaster, it's ok if you don't wish to make the equipment for my demon army. If you leave out any equipment for the four creatures bonded to me, don't regret if the effect of the contract wears off though.”

”I know the rules of the contract very well!” The Grandmaster was infuriated by the demon. He did not bother to change his tone nor look at Aragorn.
