Chapter 345: Contract

Lochan and other former vassals of the Deathwill Kingdom lifted their eyes, gazing at Alex with profound shock. Before they noticed, Alex had changed significantly; his aura was much different than before.

Lochan smiled, closing his eyes as if having no interest in Alex's offer, "You have taken your own path. I have never heard about existence with black wings."

Others nodded, staring at Alex with slight fear.

They felt like Alex's potential heavily outmatched Elias Deathwill. They couldn't help but feel disappointed, for they wouldn't be able to see that man's fall.

Alex's offer gave some hope for them, though.

Alex chuckled, raising his hand, "Elias Deathwill wants to wield all sinful energies. He's plotting to absorb those energies at the perfect time."

He didn't add that Alex could see through Elias Deathwill's plot already. Even if there were still some unknowns behind, Alex nearly had a whole picture of Elias' plan.

He wouldn't allow this man to achieve his feat. Instead, he would help his wives turn those sins into their own power, similar to what he did with 'Wrath'.

"I wield Wrath, and I can give you enough power to fight against his loyal dogs… I will take care of Elias Deathwill myself," Alex whispered; his voice was akin to sunshine falling onto those hungry demons.

They thought that Alex could read their thoughts for a second. And even if that was the case, they couldn't care. They would gladly sacrifice their lives if they could leave that prison and fight against Elias Deathwill's loyal dogs.

It was better than being imprisoned in prison.

However, they didn't know Alex also wielded the antagonist's mana. He needed proper research about this energy.

His main goal was to find the antagonists' realm and respawn points. To achieve all of it, Alex needed those people.

They weren't really siding with the antagonists. Their hatred for Elias Deathwill pushed them to become the antagonists.

And as Alex held them in prison for a long time, they all wanted a second chance…

They wanted to see their families and more!

"My offer is simple…" Alex clicked on his system, promptly writing a contract.

All red eyes behind bars shimmered with anticipation.

"Master is making big moves, right?" Erin asked after Alex entered the office. She promptly shut her lips tight, for Alex kissed her.

She then sat down on the sofa, waiting for his words.

Alex smiled, comfortably leaning down on his office chair, "I more or less know about Elias Deathwill's plan. He wields Seven Sins Sword, a treasure that helps him temper people's souls.

Through it, he formed high-quality vessels tightly bonded to him, then strengthened himself through sins.

And now, he's struggling to keep one of his vessels safe, for hungry demons also have their eyes on him and his power.

I will soon be able to find and clash with him, so I must prepare for it," Alex said, his eyes piercing through Erin.

She mistook his gaze for something else. But the truth was that Alex wanted to see through Erin's creation. She wasn't similar to his new commanders, her creation much more unique…

He already learned what Elias Deathwill used to give life to Erin. Those treasures stemmed from high realms. Elias fought desperately for them with his life on the line.

So what was unique within Erin?

How was she connected to the sins?

Alex wanted to know… but he couldn't tell. Perhaps, that was because he only wielded Wrath to perfection.

He didn't know, yet he knew that Erin would never leave his side, "How is the progress?"

"Ah! Yes!" Erin belatedly replied, growing flustered in the blink of an eye. She fixed her hair while opening her system.

She was in charge of two types of research, Wrath Intent and Black Feathers.

Erin rattled off, "Master's bloodrunes have evolved worldwide, even those Master has provided to the kingdoms' alliance. They became Black Feathers of Epic Grade. I'm sure everyone from the alliance has already tasted their boost.

Black Feathers work differently than bloodrunes. They use Master's blood as a base, then absorb foreign blood to boost themselves. This makes production far easier! I have already filed blood banks per stat.

Wrath Intent is no longer limited only to Elias Deathwill. It is still hard to properly increase its output for servants without consciousness, though." Erin concluded.

Alex nodded, giving his idea, "There's a simple solution. Commanders will become real existences like you with their evolution path.

I will use the soul grave-keeper as inspiration and limit the skeleton monsters only to their instincts. They will be ravenous bastards whose hatred will grow against tougher enemies simply because they won't be able to gobble them up in one go."

"I see!" Erin nodded, agreeing with her master.

Their talk continued for a while, then finished with a deep kiss that prompted Erin to work harder for her master.

Although Alex lost many skills in his evolution, his shared skills with his beloved remain the same. Perhaps, those would evolve as the girls delved more into their sins with his help.

Alex's swordsmanship had the same concept; to cut through everything. Wrath significantly increased his chances of achieving such a feat, and his Fallen Eyes' allowed him to see through other people's souls and concepts easier.

Thus, it was a perfect combination.

Wrath Mana increased Alex's all skills. His Fallen's Fury was similar to Stella's tornado, which would form sharp black wind blades around him.

Eldritch Touch was the most lethal skill, however. He could coat everything with that skill, and it would leave skill on his enemies' bodies and souls.

And his enemies would have a hard time erasing that scar, for Alex's new race was simply too powerful.

Since Stella could share her bloodline with Alex, and he could get the dullahan's characteristics through the legendary sword, Alex believed that there was much more evolution awaiting him.

He couldn't wait to see his girls progress with sins as well. Heart Duo, Luxuria's Sexy Nutrients, and Husband's Command.

Those skills surely had more evolution as well!

'Luxuria… Is that the Fallen Goddess' name?' Alex pondered for a second before dropping the topic. He wouldn't get an answer to his question, even if he squeezed all his brain juices!

And even though it was a time to relax, Alex also had a burden on his chest, "Will you accept an invitation to my birthday party, Olivia?"

It was time to relax, yet he couldn't help but get stressed.
