23 contract with the devil (2/2)
Sant looked at Balkan and his eyes became bright, looked like two fireflies in the dark and began to speak.
”Shut up Balkan, we both know that you are the son of a demon soldier with a lower beast of the underworld, you will never be accepted by either side, you have no lineage or purity, you are the garbage of hell and the underworld.”
”you... how dare you!”
”serve this boy and you'll see. I'll give you a whole battalion at your disposal, you'll be a general, you'll be the beloved as the guardian beast of your battalion.”
The demon began to be enchanted by the words of the Arcanum, a demon general and a guardian beast, two outposts that he will certainly never be able to reach, because he is a hybrid he is denied on both sides.
”and surely if you serve him from the beginning you will be able to evolve, imagine your power after evolving two, no, three times, imagine you returning to the underworld and eating alive all those who laughed at your offspring.”
The devil no longer had a look of hate, he looked at Sant as a child looks at the candy salesman when he gave him a free candy.
”I...”
”imagine you coming back and kicking your father's ass who abandoned you at the gates of hell and made you wander the deep plane”
Merlin who was watching this exchange could no longer believe that Sant was the good guy in history, he could only imagine Sant as the devil in history and Balkan as the human offering his soul to the devil.
”here, eat this little devil and strengthen yourself.”
Sant took his family and offered it to the devil.
”master ?”
The devil was drooling, because the demon in front of him seemed to have a very weak lineage inside his body and he felt that if he started it he would be able to stay one step closer to his first evolution.
”Give it to me”.
He tried to take it, but it was blocked by the orb to which he's confined.
”Sign the devil's contract and not only him, but all my vassals with demonic lineage will belong to you and so, you will become the second in command of my forces, just below me”.
”All right, I'll sign it.”
For Merlin all that talk could not seem more lying, as a family could become a general or even the second in command.
”quickly Merlin uses the skill of the staff, my magic will soon vanish and he will become lucid again.”
”Yes”
Balkan's eyes seemed a little cloudy and he didn't seem to be sure of his actions, but he still blindly followed the orders given by Sant.
'Damn, the 20 seconds of the ability are fading and if he regains consciousness using that ability again it will be impossible.'
”hey demon accepts to become my servant now and until the end of his life?”
”I..., I...”
The devil seemed to be regaining consciousness and because of this he was beginning to doubt the words spoken to him.
”Don't forget Balkan, kick your father's ass”.
”I... I accept”
As soon as Balkan accepted the contract a silver metal collar appeared on his neck and an invocation ring formed around Merlin's index finger.
”What ?, no! you motherfuckers tricked me, this spell that the dog king cast on me was very sneaky”.
”Quiet slave, now that everything is in its proper place I go to the city, you Merlin return to the kingdom and with your minions vest wood for me, moreover seek out Silver Lake, my kingdom needs water.”
Then Sant rode on a wolf that was nearby and ran in one direction, Merlin and his new slave stood there wondering what was the direction of the kingdom, since he only managed to escape by using a random teleportation skill.
