Chapter 244 - Fire And Wings (1/2)
”He has the title of Baron, and he also evolved once? How strong is he?” Asked Evan.
”My brother is in the - Two-Pointed Star stage without flames, but he can easily fight three mages who have one flame each and defeat each of them. None of you are his adversary, when my brother gets here, it will be, of course.” Proclaimed Nessa.
”That does sound formidable, however, apparently, your brother won't make it in time. I doubt the vampires will last long without your support, but even if you were with them, it wouldn't make a difference. You need help, and I will give it to you. My condition will be that your brother provides me with as many blood magic spells as possible. I don't need anything else.” Evan said calmly.
”Okay, if you help us, I'm sure your brother will provide you with enough blood magic spells.” Said Nessa..
”The only question left to decide is, how can I trust you? If you betray me, I could easily kill you, however your brother will not let me do that. What do you say? Should I kill you right here and now?”
Evan understood that Nessa had no reason to keep her word. She could have taken advantage of Evan and just betrayed him, nothing was stopping her from doing that.
Nessa understood that as well. Her spatial ring glowed, and a parchment scroll appeared in her hands.
”This is the scroll of the spell, the Bloody Agreement. We can use it to make sure we each keep our part of the bargain.” Nessa said calmly.
”How does it work?”
”We leave drops of our blood on this spell, then activate the scroll. Then, we each say our terms, after which the agreement is made. If one of us doesn't fulfill the oath, he or she will die instantly.”
”Hmm, how much does your brother care about you?” Evan said coldly.
Evan will get his reward not from Nessa but her brother. That means that if Nessa's brother doesn't care about her, he'll just let her die and kill Evan in addition to it.
Nessa frowned and said grudgingly, ”All vampires hold their bonds very dear, especially family bonds, trust me. If that's what it takes, my brother will destroy an entire town for me.”
Evan stared at Nessa intently. He was trying to figure out if the girl was lying or not.
Evan nodded and said, ”Okay, I agree.”
The next moment Evan bit his finger, and his drop of blood fell on the scroll. Nessa did the same, then activated the spell scroll.
A magical red circle appeared above the scroll, from which a scarlet thread flew out. It penetrated Nessa's heart and Evan's heart. They were joined, and now it was time to make their vows.
Nessa began first, ”I am Nessa Emerton, I swear that if this man helps me protect my comrades and kill my enemies, he will receive many spells of blood magic from my brother and be our friend.”
She decided to do just that so that Evan would have no doubts about the purity of her intentions. Now, if Nessa chooses to betray Evan, she will receive a death sentence. In that case, once the pact is fulfilled, neither Nessa nor her brother will be able to attack Evan.
Evan nodded, ”I am Evan Lynch, I swear that I will destroy all of Nessa Emerton's enemies in these mines.”
After they said their vows, the scarlet thread split in two and wrapped tightly around their hearts. If either of them broke their vows, the thread would constrict and instantly crush their hearts.
”Great, now it's time to go back. You must attack the group of mages from behind, they must not escape me. Moreover, you must warn your comrades not to attack me or come close to me. Otherwise, they will all be burned to the ground.” Said Evan.
