Chapter 247 - Those Monsters Run From (1/2)
After Evan destroyed the group of mages, not ten minutes later, Nessa's brother arrived. He arrived ahead of the estimated time.
Evan immediately used Mammon's Gaze.

Stage - Two-Pointed Star, Three Flames
Warp - Purple]
<As Nessa said, her brother is powerful. He really could kill everyone here with one single attack. It's a good thing I went for this deal.>
Evan questioned whether it was worth sacrificing many years of his life there for blood magic spells and rapprochement with the vampire race. Against his life expectancy, 100 years was not a critical number, but it was still quite a lot.. Nessa's words about her brother's strength added to Evan's confidence in his decision.
Virion really loved his sister very much and was worried about her. That's why he came here so quickly. He assumed his sister might be in trouble.
In the end, if Evan had chosen to fight on the side of the humans and not agree to Nessa's terms, he would most likely have died. Using the power of a demon, Evan destroyed all the mages in less than five seconds. But, if they were fighting against vampires, their fight would definitely take longer than ten minutes. That meant that before the battle was over, Nessa's brother would have arrived here and killed everyone.
Most likely, even Evan would have died. He might be able to survive if he summoned a stronger demon, but then the sacrifice would be two or three times that, and he would walk away with nothing. Strength has always been the deciding factor that could make any situation change at any moment.
Virion looked like a very handsome middle-aged man. He had smooth, snow-white skin, long, blond hair, and eyes as green as emeralds. He was dressed in a long, red coat and tall boots.
He walked over to Nessa with a slight smile, looked at Evan, and said coldly, ”Who is this?”
Virion didn't understand why Evan was alive and likewise why all the vampires were not injured. From the state of the mines, he guessed that there had been a brutal battle here. He could not believe that no vampire had been harmed. It was impossible.
”His name is Evan, and he's some madman. He sided with us and killed all our enemies with one attack.” Nessa answered honestly.
”Hmm, what did he ask for in return?” Virion didn't like this situation. He considered Evan an extremely suspicious individual.
”He demanded that you give him every blood magic spell you know,” Nessa said shyly.
Virion answered nothing, instead, his 'Warp' swirled. Mana gathered at his hands, and he was about to kill Evan, but Nessa's sudden voice stopped him.
”I used the 'Bloody Agreement,' and he's already held up his end of the bargain.”
Virion's hand instantly stopped. He looked at Nessa and saw her serious face, then he removed his hand.
”Okay, on the other hand, thanks to him, you and the others were able to survive and were not injured in any way. What's more, the operation was successful. I will honor my commitment.”
”I also said he would be our friend,” Nessa added.
Virion frowned. He realized that now he could not attack and kill Evan. Otherwise the scarlet thread would crush Nessa's heart.
”All right, I'll give you the spell books of blood magic.” Said Virion looking at Evan.
Tremble.
He was about to use the spatial ring and hand Evan all the spell books he had, but suddenly goosebumps went all over his body. Virion felt a primal fear of something terrifying and unstoppable.
