Chapter 1620: You’re Mine Now
——
“I see, so at least there will be more Demonic Weapons… that’s nice, I’ll collect them all~” Elayne said with a cute, motherly smile, although the demon detected a certain cruelty behind her words as well. “I won’t even give you the sweet release of death, you’re going to work for me now.”
“T-This is ridiculous…! T-This cannot be happening…! T-This is impossible…! It cannot be happening! I AM A DEMON! NOOOO!
The Demon kept screaming in disbelief, although to no avail, he could do nothing but watch as Elayne swung the scythe and shattered the barrier and the crystal protected by it with a single swing.
CRAAASH!
As she thought, the barrier could repel Life, Light, and Nature elements, and most other elements too, but it was weak against what made it, Demonic Power or Nether.
The crystal exploded into countless tiny pieces, containing intense quantities of crystalized nether and demonic energy, highly dangerous even in this state, so she rapidly stored it all inside her inventory. This was some interesting loot, materials like these were both dangerous but powerful.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Owl Bears had been mostly dealt by the rest of the team, who resulted to be much stronger than the Lich ever imagined… who was a nameless Lich that never introduced himself or something, which to Elayne was quite the pity.
“Now tell me, Demon, what is your true name?”
“I am Querlax, the 73rd Demon of the Goetia… Warrior of Bloodshed!”
“I see, your appearance did look like a scarred, red-skinned demon warrior with muscular arms and horns and all of that, but you’re quite plain compared to the bigger shots we’ve fought before, huh? I suppose you’re similar to that guy, Hellberos.”
“Y-You know Hellberos?! I am nothing compared to that bastard! He used to be among the top ten! But he mysteriously vanished from Hell long ago… some say he was sealed by a Warlock inside a Grimoire.”
“Yeah, something like that.”
As Elayne nodded, she imbued spirit power into the scythe and used her Synthesis to rapidly transform the weapon into something even more crazy.
FLAAASH!
“W-What are you- AAAGGGH!”
Querlax screamed in agony as his entire weapon vessel transformed, not only absorbing a lot of Element-less Spirits, but also Multi-Color Yggdranium alloy, and Rainbow Spirit Stones.
His new form resembled almost the same as before, a black scythe with a horned skull at the tip, but it now had several jewels embedded into it, mostly red or purple, despite the materials having been others.
“And done, I’ve given you a little upgrade, and now you’re similar to Morpheus here, but of course much weaker, but this is a start!”
Elayne smiled happily and cutely, as the scythe floated in midair, realizing that he could now float at will! The demon tried to escape but naturally, he couldn’t even do that, only think about it. The chains had only become stronger now, as if fusing with his soul.
“T-This can’t be…! I’ve become your contracted… spirit?! But I’m a demon!”
“Yeah, yeah, irrelevant details,” Elayne shrugged. “You see, demons are very special beings, you’re not completely physical, right? You’re more like ethereal or something, your souls are also your physical bodies. You always need vessels to exert power in the mortal world, or in the physical plane, even in here you need one and this is a very spiritual realm. So I thought, aren’t they technically spirits? So I imbued spirit materials into your vessel and gave you enough spirituality to create a contract with you, a forced, permanent contract, forever. You’re mine now, forever. Understood? I’ll repeat it a third time, forever.”
“Y-YOU MONSTER!!!”
As the demon complained and cried like a baby, Elayne heard the World’s Voice resonating within her very being.
[You have successfully evolved and contracted the Demonic Spirit Weapon: [Demonic Phantasmal Spirit Scythe of Bloodshed: Querlax (Tier 4)]!]
[The Demonic Spirit Weapon [Demonic Phantasmal Spirit Scythe of Bloodshed: Querlax (Tier 4)] has developed the following Abilities: [Spiritual Demonic Specter] [Soul-Eating Demonic Flames] [Minor Demonic Authority of Bloodshed] [Demonic Frenzy] [Infernal Explosion]!]
[These Abilities have been linked with you, and you can now freely use them, giving you power over the Element of Demons without being one.]
[An unprecedented event! The {Laws of Hell} have noticed you have contracted a Demon, granting you the automatic Title of [Demonic Warlock]!]
[Title: {Demonic Warlock}: Can speak, contract, and summon demons as long as you have a Demonic Grimoire and Offerings. Contracted Demons become 25% stronger.]
Elayne was surprised by what she heard, her eyes widening as she realized this was nothing ordinary at all!
Although all the demonic abilities were sweet and all of that, she couldn’t help but wonder what that “Demonic Warlock” Title event meant, and even more…
What the hell was the “Laws of Hell”, it somewhat felt similar to the “Will of Heaven”, but they were clearly still very different, only confusing her further.
While the “Will of Heaven” certainly had a personality, the “Laws of Hell” seem like some sort of, well, laws, impartial and that simply trigger automatically after doing something in specific.
“Okay, we’re pretty much done here then…” Elayne nodded, storing the bones of the Lich, which were made of a hard black nether steel of some sort, and also its big core, which she planned to absorb to grow stronger, something she had done with other cores from other undead, especially the generals, she can instantly purify them, so no nether or miasma could harm her. “We should get back with everyone else for now. Querlax, remain silent until I ask you to speak, okay?”
“…” Querlax didn’t respond to her, but the red eyes in the scythe glared at her slightly angrily… it seemed that the simplest of requests worked just fine. He was now completely to her mercy.
Elayne walked back to her family and friends, who greeted her with relieved smiles, it seemed the job here was finally done, and it was already getting dark too, so it was time to go back to the nearby village.
