Prologue under The Devil's Deal
Essek looked solemn, "Now, let's start summoning, remember, don't be careless, what we are going to summon is a devil after all."
Several men in black robes immediately took their place, standing at every corner of the pentagram, Esseck stood in the summoner's position, and raised the old book in his hand, chanting the mantra that Albert could not understand at all.
The tone of this language is very strange, sometimes high and sometimes low, like a whisper in his ears, or as if a call from a distant void. Even the dark wizards were very unfamiliar with this spell, only Essek knew what he was chanting.
【Great existence from the Purgatory Demon Realm.】
[The red body, the evil eye, surrounded by fire, the extremely evil king with authority]
[I guide you with blood, I sacrifice you with life, and I trade you with soul.]
[In the name of the contract signed by you and my tribe and the ancient times.]
[I pray that you will come to this world.]
The spell was recited three times repeatedly, and as an invisible fluctuation gradually spread, bubbles suddenly appeared on the lake where blood gathered, and slowly turned. The blood flow rotated, forming a huge vortex, which faintly emitted scarlet light in the center of the vortex, as if flames were burning.
Suddenly, a scorching airflow roared out of the vortex, and several black wizards raised their weapons in horror.
"Don't retreat, brothers, the ceremony is not over yet!" Essek scolded loudly.
At this time, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the black hole, followed by a powerful arm, and the smoke-like body immediately surged out. The smoke circled in the air and gathered into a huge and majestic human form.
The upper body is a human, the lower body is a cloud of smoke, the skin is blue, his eyes are two balls of beating flames, the crown on his head is looming, and a pair of golden magic bracelets on his wrist are shining.
"Lan——Lan God?"
"Oh my God, I'm not right, is that the God of Light?"
Several men in black robes screamed in surprise.
That thing does look very much like the legendary Lamp God, and even the tone of his speech is exactly the same.
"I call my righteous gentleman, and I call my evil villain, and I am the Lamp God Pidses. I will keep my oath and fulfill three wishes for you. Now tell me your wish."
Several wizards looked ecstatic and wanted to summon a demon lord, but they didn't expect to summon the God of Lanterns. Can this good thing be encountered?
Essek looked at the ancient book in his hand in disbelief, then at the lamp god in front of him, looking stunned.
This book does mention that the other world summoning technique sometimes summons unexpected things. Even the most secure spell may have deviations, but the Lamp God? How is it possible?
Before he could figure out the principle, a man in black could not wait to shout, "I make a wish-"
Essek almost reflexively raised his wand - Death Finger!
A green light hit the black wizard who wanted to make a wish. The black wizard's expression instantly turned dead gray and fell down dejectedly. The others were not surprised, and even gloated.
The moment he put down his wand, Essek noticed that the "God of Lamp" in front of him showed a sarcastic smile.
He instantly understood what was going on.
"Don't make a wish, that's not a god of lamps! That's pretended to be a devil!"
Hahahaha, the ‘God of Lamp’ laughed harshly, and the entire castle seemed to tremble in the laughter.
His smoke-like body quickly condensed and dissipated, and finally revealed its entity.
It was a huge devil covered with red scales, with horns on his head and red light in his eyes. His evil eyes looked at the people in front of him with disdain.
"Humans, humans, you are always so stupid, arrogant, ignorant, greedy and easy to deceive. Let's say, what do you want to summon me to this world? My patience is very limited."
Esseck tried not to reveal the fear in his heart, "Default Lord, according to the rules, you must satisfy our three wishes in exchange for your freedom. You must not hurt us until the contract is reached. I am right."
The devil sneered, neither otherwise nor admitting.
"So what wish do you want?"
"Magic, powerful magic! Each of us needs powerful magic."
For wizards, magic is naturally what is needed the most.
"Magic? No problem, is there any?"
The wound on Essek's abdomen started to thrive again, as if reminding him.
"An immortal body is hard to kill, and a body that can live forever will also be given to the four of us."
The devil nodded, "No problem, what about the third wish?"
Esseck coughed dryly, "I think you'd better realize these two wishes first."
"Are you sure?"
"It's very certain that I have to be sure that you have the ability to fulfill our wishes before you can continue to make wishes." Esseck seemed to explain, but he thought in his heart that 'The third wish is to let you go from where to where you come from.'
Whether it is a devil or a demon, these monsters from the Purgatory Demon Realm are never easy to talk to. Once they are free, the first thing they usually do is to kill their summoners. He has heard too many such stories.
The devil looked around, glanced around the corpses around him, and suddenly laughed.
“As you wish.”
Red mist flowed out of his body and rushed towards the bodies of the four wizards. Essek was a little surprised. He didn't expect things to go so well. He thought he wanted to fight wits and courage.
Yes, no matter how cunning these devils are, they must obey the power of the law. He would never have thought that he would use his third wish to send him out.
Esseck was quite proud, he was still a little alert, and he was a little resistant to the strange red fog, but when the fog poured into his body, he quickly showed a happy expression.
It's magic! Powerful magic, ah, sweet magic!
He could feel the magic power in his body growing wildly, and the wounds in his abdomen healed quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He greedily absorbed the red fog, and the others were no less than that. The red light flashed in their eyes, and the magic power in his body was stimulating, forming a small magic vortex around him.
This is even more powerful than the magic they have practiced for more than ten years or even decades.
Essek was also addicted to this full of magic power. A strange thing suddenly came from his body, a little itchy, as if countless ants were crawling under his skin. A trace of anxiety arose in his heart, he opened his eyes suddenly, and pulled off the black robe on his body.
At this time, the skin on his body seemed to have become transparent, and even blood vessel tendons and bones could be seen. This made him feel scared, and what made him feel even more scared was that the numb and itchy feeling was gradually turning into a kind of pain like flesh tearing. His spirit was in a daze, and the powerful magic power was eroding his consciousness.
"What are you doing! Stop it."
The devil disagreed: "This is a necessary process for physical transformation. Once you endure it, you will pass. Can you, the fragile humans, not even endure this little pain?"
For a moment, Essek really believed it. He gritted his teeth and wanted to hold on, but the pain soon became unbearable. The scorching pain penetrated from the depths of the bone marrow. His back was torn apart, and a pair of red bone wings grew out of his body. The bone wings swelled on their own, completely out of his control.
"No, this is not right. What are you doing? Stop!"
"Oh, why should I stop? Have you forgotten this? The human body will eventually decay, and only those who are incarnated as the dead can live forever. As for powerful magic, believe me, the magic of a skeleton demon servant is something you will never reach in your life."
A trace of fear flashed in Essek's eyes, he knew what that was.
Bang! A wizard's flesh and blood suddenly exploded, revealing the strange red corpse attached to the bones, but the corpse did not fall down, and the flames in its eyes were still burning.
Bang! Bang! The wizard's flesh and blood exploded one by one, Esseck tried his best to maintain his integrity, but he knew that it was only a matter of time before he was torn apart. Despair aroused the cruelty in his heart, "Only those who participated in the ceremony can make a wish... If I die... the third wish... will never be fulfilled... you will be trapped in the contract...!"
Before he could finish his words, with a bang, his flesh and blood burst open, and the ancient book in his hand fell to the ground.
Four skeleton demon servants surrounded the devil and fell to the ground, like four servants.
The devil laughed wildly, as if answering Esseck's question, and as if he was talking to himself, "Oh, you can rest assured that someone will complete the final contract."
The devil said, suddenly looking at Albert on the ground, and fished the dying man up and raised it in front of him, with a hint of joking and temptation in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
