Chapter 3, The Contract

After a simple ownership ceremony, "Dark Red Tears" finally became Enleiko's dagger. However, that ceremony nearly cost Enleiko his life

About two hours later, Enleike finally recovered from his numbness, his mind recalling that incantation, which was indeed quite lengthy! Moreover, it was different from any other incantations he had known.

In any case, now Bertina can concoct the appropriate potion just by taking a glance at Enleiko's wound. Correspondingly, the efficacy of her special detergent has become increasingly remarkable. It is highly effective for both laundry and treating injuries

Seeing the bewildered expressions of the four trial participants, I explained: "The soul contract is an extremely rare form of agreement, as it is almost entirely a one-sided profit contract; therefore, the conditions for signing are exceedingly stringent"

If it were not for that piece of "Moonlight Mirror," none of this would have been possible; if Enleco were not in a state of extreme weakness, none of this would have been possible; if Enleco were a person capable of magic and had cast spells in the usual manner, none of this would have been possible

The sound of the door creaking open startled Enleike, and with a flash of light, the room returned to tranquility

However, the words of that creature dispelled his doubts

Teacher, I implore you, this is a request from my brother and me, as well as from our father, your elder brother, my dear aunt

The golden, elegantly coiled hairstyle appeared particularly striking. Dressed in a ball gown and waving a fan adorned with velvet tassels, her demeanor seemed quite discordant with the atmosphere here, as if she were attending a banquet.

As he watched his companions grow, Enleike, while excited, could not help but feel a tinge of melancholy

The magic circle leading to the demon realm is controlled by the sorcerer positioned at its center. As long as a meditative state is maintained, a life-sustaining barrier can be upheld within the confines of the magic circle

In the Demon Realm, in addition to the harsh environment, there is one thing that makes Enleiko feel apprehensive, which is the legendary demon clan that fled to the Demon Realm due to the defeat in the Radiant War

If it were not for the ancient script above that flickered with a faint light, Enleiko would likely not have seen anything in front of him

It appears that the extent to which students can acquire knowledge through this teaching method is directly proportional to their vitality. Using this approach, it is likely that those barbarians who are least skilled in magic but possess the greatest physical strength would be the most ideal students

"Human, you dare to intrude into the demon realm without permission. Your flesh and blood will become the finest offering to me, and your soul will remain in the demon realm forever, never to be reborn." The words of the smoke penetrated directly into Enleike's mind

As night fell, the temperature plummeted to extreme cold. This chill emanated from the round moon hanging in the sky, where the bluish moonlight instantly froze everything it touched, transforming the once flowing glass-like river into a hard, porous surface in an instant

Hehehe, cough cough cough... Chris was laughing so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. She leaned on the table and coughed repeatedly, saying, "It turns out to be a soul contract. I really didn't expect that. Enleiko, you are truly a very intimidating fellow."

Ever since he learned that Chris's identity is that of a princess, his mind has been in a state of chaos

Kate, Enleiko greeted his friend

With a mix of surprise and skepticism, Enleiko asked, "Can you enable me to use magic?" After all, no matter how advanced Chris's magic was, her understanding of the essence of magic might not surpass that of the gods and demons, who are fundamentally composed of magical power.

With the covert support of the Protoss, humanity actually dared to launch an attack against the true demon race

Thus, by dinner time, the two had become close friends, directly addressing each other by their nicknames. The princess called Bertina "Betty," while Bertina referred to the princess as "Ni." Of course, such terms of endearment were exclusive to the two of them; others, even if they wished to call the princess by her original name "Franny," were not permitted to do so.

However, it was unexpected that the energy emitted by the moon of the demon realm was so immense that the magical energy converted by the "Moonlight Mirror" nearly caused Enleiko to burst apart

"Human? I am not a human. How could you forget your master so quickly?" With a dull, low rumble, a wisp of smoke appeared before him. As the smoke spread, the eternal pain in Enleike's heart resurfaced, as the most successful con artist, that unknown creature, materialized before him

This sound attracted both the wizard Chris, who was conducting experiments in the laboratory, and Jerry, who was sleeping in the room

"So beautiful!" Kate exclaimed. Before her lay a vast expanse of dense jungle, with the surrounding mountains resembling lotus petals that framed the enormous basin in the center

After the battle, a powerful force tore through space, creating numerous different worlds. Most of the demon race was annihilated, with only a small portion escaping into an extremely perilous environment known as the "Demon Realm." Although the gods emerged victorious in the Divine-Demon War, the powers of the gods and demons were relatively equal, and the divine race also paid a significant price. Furthermore, the immense energy collisions during the battle triggered widespread disasters across the world. Although the gods emerged victorious in the Divine-Demon War, the powers of the gods and demons were relatively equal, and the divine race also paid a significant price. Moreover, the immense energy collisions during the battle triggered widespread disasters across the world.

Since the sorceress Chris learned that Enleco was the disciple of her arch-enemy, the sorcerer Victor, she arranged for Enleco to come to this place for training

When Bertina intended to treat Enleco's injuries, the sorceress Chris halted her actions and informed her that for Enleco, who had made a pact with the demon clan, Bertina's light healing magic was the most lethal.

Returning below, I could only see two ladies who had already prepared breakfast waiting there

Yes

Enleike finally let out a long sigh, for he had just escaped the greatest crisis of his life, although he was unaware of the true extent of the cost he had incurred

Bertina, who came in to visit Enrico, clearly did not notice his earlier actions. Upon seeing that Enrico had already woken up, Bertina was very pleased and took Enrico to have dinner together

In the following half day, Kate closely followed the princess, perhaps this is a habit of his as a knight

Upon hearing about the options, Enleike was certainly pleased; having choices means that conditions can be negotiated, and being able to negotiate conditions equates to having a chance at survival

The creature Most observed Enleco's expression of confusion and continued: "The use of magic is the control of elements through mental power. In the demon realm, the amplification of the moonlight allows your mental power to freely manipulate the elements. However, in the absence of such amplification, the people of this world can only control a limited number of elements through the gathering of mental power. This is also the reason why you are unable to use magic. Nevertheless, there are methods in this world that can amplify mental power—such as the divine-demon pact, the book contract, and magic circles"

Although Kate was a good friend and once reminded Chris to summon Enleiko back, not long after, Kate was severely injured during a training session personally conducted by Chris, falling into a coma for several days. As a result, she was unable to act on her intentions. However, even if she were to wake up, it is likely that Kate would no longer have the courage to do so

What lies before me is akin to a drowning person who, upon seeing a lifeline, knows that it is only slightly better than despair, yet will seize it without hesitation

The next day, after Kate and the others dragged Enleiko out of the magic circle, a single sentence from Jerry pushed the already physically shattered Enleiko to the brink of mental collapse once again: "Archmage Chris wants to speak with you."

Of course, Kate is not worried that Chris would harm the current king, but if the prince and princess were to be harmed or imprisoned this time, and the already frail king were to suffer any misfortune, her own mad teacher would naturally be the only heir to the throne.

Everyone knows that the effect has arrived

Enleco has a vast amount of knowledge to learn every day, and the arrangement and application of magic circles are indeed much more challenging than the ordinary use of magic

After several thousand years, the world finally stabilized, and humanity rebuilt civilization, becoming the masters of this world. However, due to the loss of faith, barbarism and bloodshed filled this period of history

Enleiko was unaware that, imperceptibly, a portion of magical power gradually merged into his body, circulating through his blood and meridians in an endless loop. This was something he had not anticipated, nor had Chris.

Her in-depth research in the field of magic circles is among the best; otherwise, she would not have been able to create a magic circle capable of communicating with the demon realm

Thinking of Chris's terror, Enleiko felt a shiver run through his body. It would be safer to clarify its intentions.

Due to the passage of time, the bare rock walls of the distant mountains are covered with lush vegetation, while the forest below is filled with tall and straight giant trees. Most of the trees here are significantly taller than those growing elsewhere, with dozens of towering ancient trees standing majestically like cranes among chickens deep within the dark green jungle

Seeing that the demon clan quickly deduced the truth of the matter and even accurately guessed the role assignments, Enleike felt nothing but fear.

Looking at Enleike, whose eyes sparkled with stars, the creature Most did not hesitate to pour a bucket of cold water over him: "I have no extra power to offer you"

Fear, an uncontrollable fear

A circle of dark red ribbing is wrapped around the handle of the knife. According to Chris, this knife possesses great power

The divine beings cherish the light, while the demonic beings favor the darkness. The two originally had no disputes.

Enleco then noticed that the peculiar mountains surrounding him all displayed smooth, even arcs facing his direction. The entire basin covers an area of several thousand hectares.

Do you know? This is the final battlefield of the Glorious Campaign. It was right at the position where we are standing now that the God Master unleashed the ultimate magic, decisively defeating all the demon clans and leaving behind this basin. Jerry stood by like a commentator.

When the moonlight mirror completely vanished into the air, with a thunderous roar, Enleike fainted.

Loneliness, a feeling that can drain the very soul of a person

Although everyone has completely different thoughts in their hearts, it is certain that they will leave here early tomorrow morning to embark on a new journey

Looking at Enleiko, who was stunned, Chris revealed a mischievous smile and said, "Dear little Enleiko, the crime of waking me up yesterday is quite serious. If you do not sign a contract that satisfies me..."

Kate suddenly thought of another critical matter. As the Long Princess, Chris should be the third in line for succession after the princes and princesses.

For the first time, Enleco, who possessed magical power, was uncertain whether to feel joy or concern. The overwhelming magical energy was carelessly wasted by Enleco, and now he could effortlessly and continuously cast Fireball and Lightning Bolt.

Completed, completed, there's no way out, this time it is truly a task with no hope of survival. Otherwise, the royal family would not have sought the help of this madwoman! In his frustration, Jerry, in despair, actually disregarded the greatest taboo and began to insult the sorceress Chris profusely.

A thick black smoke enveloped the "Moonlight Mirror," and the smooth surface of the mirror appeared to be boiling, bubbling up with gas. Where the bubbles burst, strands of black silk spread out.

Although she also acknowledged that if this were not the ancient battlefield of the Glorious Battle, and if the vast magical energy gathered from the demon and divine races during the Glorious Battle had not already created countless rifts between the two realms, she would not be able to open the demon realm space out of thin air

Enleike thought. After pulling out the "Moonlight Mirror" from his pocket, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. "The Demon Light Cannon sounds quite powerful; will this demon use it for dangerous activities?"

After listening to the princess's account, the wizard Chris remained noncommittal

The soul contract is the most unequal of all contracts. Humanity derives no benefits from this contract, and everything belonging to the individual is owned by the contract deity. The contract deity can invade a person's body or take away their soul at any time they wish. However, conversely, in order to enter into such an unequal contract, the individual must be absolutely willing. If, during the ritual, the contractor shows even the slightest hesitation, the contract cannot be established. Do you understand

Whenever I think of my own experiences, I fear that if this madwoman were to govern the country, life would not be very pleasant

The blade's edge is extremely light, indicating that this is a swift knife designed for one-on-one combat. The blade is smooth, devoid of any blood grooves or inscriptions. There is no guard at the tang, clearly suggesting that the previous owner of this knife was a highly skilled swordsman with great confidence

After nearly two months of relatively calm academic life, the period of study has finally come to an end

The second piece of equipment is a black iron plate polished to a mirror finish on both sides. Chris refers to it as the "Moonlight Mirror"; it can absorb moonlight and convert it into magical power. If Chris had not found the effect to be too subtle after testing it, she would not have given it to Enleiko

It seems that Chris only understands this particular teaching method. This is the case for Enleike, and it is largely the same for Kate

Enleiko looked at the creature from the demon realm with fear. Although the sorceress Chris stated that this being posed no real threat, Enleiko, an ordinary person, still felt an overwhelming sense of dread, rooted in humanity's centuries-old fear of such otherworldly beings.

"How did you get out?" Enlaike asked with determination.

I cannot grant you magical power, but I can enable you to master the use of magic. Whether you can change your constitution and further possess your own magical power depends on your luck

It is evident that Jerry has also recognized the rather unfavorable situation for the upcoming journey. At this moment, provoking Kate's sense of honor as a knight is highly disadvantageous.

In the following decades, whenever Enleike heard thunder or saw lightning, he would become panic-stricken and fall into a state of uncontrollable rage

After experiencing countless life-and-death situations, Enleike had almost memorized all the magic circles he had learned

"Well, considering you are a pitiful creature, I will give you a choice: offer your soul or your flesh and blood," said the demon.

Because, based on Chris's previous behaviors, this time such a straightforward action truly frightened Enleike. Even his few companions thought the same.

The once powerful divine race found themselves powerless in this regard. Therefore, they chose to settle in a space with a suitable environment, relocating many beautiful things from this world to that space

Hehehe, hehehe. A series of high-pitched laughter indicates that Chris is either extremely happy at this moment or about to explode with anger

"Hehehe, hehehe, you have signed a contract with the dark spirit, hehehe, hehehe." Chris seemed extremely pleased as if she had discovered a treasure

Do not be afraid

This world is desolate and terrifying, with day and night alternating in cycles of approximately three hours.

Do not forget the magic circle; it is a method of controlling elements through specific mental power. As long as your mental power is sufficient to activate and maintain the magic circle, that is all that is required. I have observed you in the demon realm for quite some time, and you have performed exceptionally well in this regard

Chris tapped her forehead repeatedly, addressing Jerry with the following words: "Jerry, as their companion, you should share in both their fortunes and misfortunes! You should go with them; it will save you money."

Enleike turned his head to glance at Kate, who had sparkling eyes, a flushed face, and stood there with her body perfectly straight, her expression focused on the picturesque natural scenery before her

Who, what person?! Enlaike shouted sternly

I did not expect that the princess is a disciple of Chris, but it seems she has certainly not received Chris's special educational methods

Only the sound of Chris's series of sharp laughter, "Hehehe," could be heard

The relationship is one of equality, and is generally similar; however, the deity or demon can terminate this contract at any time. The signing of the main contract must be done with the consent of the individual. Once the contract is established, the individual is able to utilize the portion of power permitted by the contracted deity and must pay the corresponding price for the power obtained

Aren't you troubled by your inability to use magic? I can help you, said the creature.

This is precisely the realm in which Enleike currently exists, a space that people refer to as the Demon Realm

Indeed! Indeed! Only a great magician like the teacher can save this country, save this world, the great and talented magician Chris. For the sake of everyone, Kate finally gave up the dignity of a knight and picked up the weapon that Jerry was best at—flattery

The extreme temperature fluctuations during the alternation of day and night fill the space with interwoven lightning and rampant hurricanes

He gently recited this magical text, and when the lengthy incantation was completed, a transparent wall appeared before him

Therefore, under the insistence of both individuals, Kate was dragged back to the laboratory

Therefore, Enleike is now entrusted with a daunting yet honorable task—to serve as bait. Of course, Chris has also prepared two weapons for Enleike's self-defense, which indicates that she is far superior to that Victor.

Enleco is increasingly concerned, and it is even possible that this creature may threaten him with his own soul to rescue those otherworldly beings captured by Chris

As waves of tremors surged, the enormous magic circle gradually filled with energy. The space-reversal magic was about to be activated. If just moments ago Enleiko had prayed to return to his own world quickly, now his prayer was undoubtedly to not return to his own world.

Chris truly lives up to her reputation as a powerful sorceress; she possesses the ability to tear open two spaces and establish a magical array at the interface of these two spaces, serving as a bridge to connect them.

In legend, the Demon Clan and the Divine Clan originally coexisted in this world, their powers being equal yet their personalities contrasting

Now, all one can do is pray that the demon in front moves slowly. There is no hope for a fight. That demon is composed of smoke, clearly impervious to physical attacks. Moreover, it has the misfortune of appearing during the day; isn't it said that demons prefer darkness? Why is it not sleeping now? Truly a shameless demon, Enleike cursed inwardly.

Upon hearing the monster mention once again the contract that caused him immense heartache, Enleike was left speechless for a long time

Seeing the expressions of partial understanding on everyone's faces, Chris continued: "A contract is a means by which humans establish a connection with gods and demons. The difficulty of signing a contract is related to the benefits that humans derive from it. As long as a god or demon is willing, a master-servant relationship can be established with humans as the primary party, and those who have signed the contract can freely utilize the powers of the contracted deity."

In the midst of her treatment, Kate hurriedly struggled to sit up. In a state of panic, she adjusted her clothes and quickly walked a few steps to stand before the young lady, bowing deeply as she said, "Your Highness, how did you come to be here"

Cold, extreme cold

Thus, after a brief ceremony, the demon clan suddenly vanished before him

"Do not bother me, I need to concentrate on controlling this magic circle," Jerry warned

As the night gradually faded, three young individuals, burdened with their thoughts and having not slept all night, rose early with the arrival of dawn. After each had packed their belongings, the three of them, with nothing else to do, quietly made their way outside.

Feeling bored and disheartened, Enleike slowly walked back to his room, feeling a sense of weakness throughout his body. For the first time, he began to doubt his initial choice; perhaps that grocery store was truly the environment best suited for him.

Enleike is truly very afraid

That morning, Enleco and Kate had just completed their daily routine exercises and had memorized a magic circle that would be unforgettable for a lifetime. Enleco, who was grilled like a hamburger, and Kate, who had just finished battling a Spinosaurus and looked like a platter of fruits and vegetables, were receiving their routine treatment from Bertina

"Coward, so you are only worried about this. Then you should not go. The country is in a state of crisis..." Kate's impassioned speech. However, Enleike did not hear anything else he said.

After speaking, he turned around, ignoring others, and walked straight to Master Chris, bowing deeply and saying: "Hello, esteemed teacher, I have a matter to seek your assistance with"

Therefore, on the occasion of the National Day of Victory, the Kingdom of Guo dispatched princes and princesses to the Kingdom of Ka'aoqi, hoping to form an alliance with the current reigning King Hekols III of the Kingdom of Ka'aoqi

However, the magic has already been cast, and soon he will have to face Chris. Therefore, Enleiko prays to the divine for Chris's mood to improve a little.

In order for the "Dark Red Tears" to acknowledge someone as its master, it is necessary to provide it with sufficient blood. Enleiko, who suffered from severe anemia due to the loss of a large amount of blood, was thrown into the demon realm by Chris without even a moment to recover

Pushing open the door, one sees Kate in the center of a huge magic circle, sweating profusely as he dodges left and right, with several spots on his body oozing blood. However, there is not a single person opposite him.

Enleco, which continuously emits signals, is anxiously anticipating the reversal of space

Bertina, having received a sacred education since childhood, does not place importance on worldly hierarchies. Therefore, she is not enthusiastic about them either

Jerry, adhering to the nature of a businessman, certainly did not forget to take this opportunity to ingratiate himself with the princess. He bore the responsibilities entrusted to him by his father; after all, even his brother, a member of the Royal Knights, had yet to have the chance to approach the royal family. Perhaps he would be the first to meet his father's expectations and become a noble.

However, he soon realized that he was about to face the second major crisis of his life

After signing the contract with you, I will certainly be able to freely traverse between the two realms

The scene before him reflected the scorching, blinding sunlight, which appeared as a sea of red in Enleike's eyes. Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke billowed up in front of Enleike.

From the princess's words, everyone finally learned that the most powerful country on the continent, the Kingdom of Ka'oqi, is currently facing instability. With the passing of the long-serving Prime Minister Ross, who had been in power for thirty years, hardline factions are rising, and the Kingdom of Ka'oqi harbors ambitions of conquering other nations by force

On this day, the sorceress Chris had retired early, leaving behind four trial students and a guest who had come from afar

"That depends on how you view magic," a sudden unfamiliar voice said

"The magic circle, how did I not think of that?" Enleiko exclaimed joyfully, almost missing what the creature Most was about to say next

Before arriving in the Demon Realm, Chris threw a long knife to Enleike. The knife measured three feet and nine inches in length, which was slightly longer than desired, and its widest part was merely one and a half inches wide. The blade was slender and curved, with a thickness of only two tenths of an inch. With a gentle swing, the blade vibrated and sliced through the air, producing a hissing sound as it cut through.

The alternating climate of extreme heat and cold, along with the thin air, renders this place akin to a hell on earth. Had Enleike not undergone long-term electric shock meditation training, he would likely have been unable to sustain this magic circle, thus transforming hell on earth into actual hell.

After speaking, Chris snapped her fingers, and a barrier enveloped the dining table. Everyone felt that although they had mouths, no sound could escape. It seemed there was no choice.

Therefore, the person who obtains this knife will become increasingly courageous in battle. However, there is no free lunch in this world; while the "Dark Red Tears" is indeed powerful, it requires a portion of its owner's life force at regular intervals.

Moreover, it is a type of magical equipment that can choose its master. This dagger is called "Crimson Tear" and possesses the ability to absorb the life force of enemies and transfer it to its master

However, the true demon race consists of highly intelligent beings who would never be deceived; those that can be captured by her are merely ancient magical beasts and dark spirits.

The demon race seeks agents among humans and instills the powers of the demon race within them. Under the negligence of the divine race, humanity gradually falls under the control of the demon race

If it were not for another piece of equipment supporting it, Enleco would have long since become merely an embellishment in the demon realm

Before Chris could ask a question, Enleco poured out everything that was about to happen in one go. After finishing, Enleco appeared as if resigned to his fate

He struggled to rise from the pile of herbs. Among these herbs, there must be components that have a paralyzing effect on the muscles, causing Enleike to seem as if he were walking through a pile of cotton, taking steps that were both deep and shallow, with a soft and yielding ground that offered no support.

Travelers who were unable to finish their breakfast were hurried to the center of the teleportation magic circle. A strong beam of light shot down from above. Accompanied by a buzzing roar, everyone was momentarily dazzled.

Is this crazy, arrogant, and domineering witch truly a princess of noble blood who has received a rigorous royal education?

In fact, even if he did not wish to use magic, he would be unable to do so, because the immense and unceasing influx of magical power, with no outlet for release, could very likely cause him to burst.

The Dark Spirit is the lowest class of monster, a weak entity that can only aggregate together due to its insufficient abilities, lacking even a physical form. Apart from instilling fear, it possesses no power whatsoever. By the way, what kind of contract have you established: master-servant, equal, or subordinate to the master?" Chris inquired

At the dining table, Enleike tentatively asked Chris to teach him about the knowledge of magic circles. He initially did not hold out much hope for this, but unexpectedly, Chris readily agreed, which instead left Enleike feeling hesitant.

"Where is the magic energy amplification panel you used in the demon realm?" asked the creature Most.

When luck was mentioned, Enleike's confidence was greatly shaken. It seemed that he was destined to be favored by the goddess of misfortune. Enleike had to confront this reality.

The demon race correspondingly created various different magical beasts to serve as their subordinates. However, after thousands of years of continuity, humanity, despite its relatively weak physical form and lack of strength, unexpectedly thrived and prospered.

Bertina merely prayed to the gods on behalf of Enleco in the mortal realm, unaware of whether the powers of the deities in the celestial realm could save Enleco, who was trapped in the demon realm

Seeing Kate's spirited demeanor, Enleike believes that even if a giant dragon lay before her, Kate would bravely charge forward.

In the four months since coming to this laboratory, Enleike has not once left the lab. Kate is probably the same. Seeing the two of them staring blankly at the scenery outside, Jerry found a place to sit down

Clearly, Chris noticed everyone's expressions and spoke reassuring words to Enleike.

( How strange, everyone thought )

In this situation, the demon race and humanity engaged in multiple wars. Although humanity always faced devastating defeats each time, under the protection of the divine race, they were able to avoid total annihilation.

Upon hearing of such good news, Enleike did not hesitate and promptly requested Most to implement it in accordance with the law

Chris has little interest in legends; instead, she possesses an intense urge regarding the existence of demons. Long ago, she wanted to attempt to capture a true demon as depicted in the *illustrated* books

Feeling utterly exhausted, Jerry naturally lay down on the bed. Enleiko also felt dizzy, sitting dazedly on the edge of the bed. Kate anxiously paced back and forth in the room

Originally, he had made an agreement with Chris that once they discovered the demon clan, he would notify Chris through a magical signal. Chris would then prepare to move the entire magic circle to that world. Therefore, Enleiko only needed to ensure that he did not die during this period

The black smoke that enveloped the surroundings seemed to gather with intent, revealing an ethereal form. This form consisted solely of a face made of smoke and a paw that also coalesced from the dust, both clearly visible, while the other parts fluctuated and merged with the movement of the smoke.

Only the wizard Chris happily said, "Good, good, it is indeed as you said. However, I must focus on my magical research and have no time to engage in state affairs. Kate, you are from a knightly family and also a noble, right? I have taught you for quite some time, and you have gained quite a bit. How about this: I will entrust you with the task of protecting the princess and the prince. Of course, I will not let you take risks alone. Enleco, you are my private property, I trust you remember that? Now I assign you a task to assist Kate in protecting the princess, is that alright? By the way, Bertina, you still have a lot of clothes to wash, right? You are excused from that now, you should go along as well. As for Jerry, Jerry...

The vibrations ceased, and when Chris appeared before him with a drowsy expression, Enleiko knew that the gods of the celestial realm had not heard his prayers

Is Chris a member of the royal family? Is she the king's sister, Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Enleiko was momentarily taken aback upon hearing the mention of the divine and demonic contract, quickly perking up his ears to listen as Most continued speaking

"It seems to be called... a soul contract?" Enleiko replied

However, in the struggle for control over humanity, both sides engaged in fierce warfare. According to legend, humans were originally created by the divine beings, serving as assistants and servants to manage the domains of the gods

"Let’s discuss it at dinner; I have an important experiment to conduct." With that, the sorceress Chris returned to her laboratory

Regarding the creature from this other world before him, Enleco knew nothing except that it was not very powerful, as informed by Chris, and that it was called Most, as revealed through their mutual contract.

"Is it the same as them?" Chris said with a smile

Suddenly, a strong light shot down from the ceiling, accompanied by a buzzing roar

Everyone cannot help but wonder why the princess does not take the great sorcerer Naga as her master. The great sorcerer Naga is a highly respected magician. Moreover, as the national protector of the Kingdom of Sofien, he would undoubtedly accept the princess as his disciple, so why would she choose to study under the eccentric Chris instead

Even if the "Moonlight Mirror" is hidden away, the immense energy of the moonlight from the demon realm continues to surge forth. Casting spells for three consecutive hours, then resting for three hours, and then casting spells for another three consecutive hours...

Chris waved her hand, and a magic circle emerged from the ceiling. A swirl of silver light enveloped several smoke-like forms as they descended.

Bertina pulled Enleiko, and the two turned to the other end of the magic circle. Bertina gently explained to Enleiko, "During your unconsciousness, Kate has already begun formal training in the combination of magic and martial arts. Now he must maintain the state of reading the wind technique while evading lightning magic attacks, and Jerry is responsible for overseeing this lightning magic circle"

Enrico and Bertina were not that excited; Enrico felt that he and the royal family existed in entirely different worlds, and thus he was not enthusiastic.

Fortunately, that creature did not take the opportunity to extort a hefty sum from Enleco; it seems its disposition is much better than that of Victor and Chris.

Therefore, Chris did not want the knife at all, but it would be a waste to throw it away. Just at this moment, Enleiko was going to act as bait, and this knife could slightly increase his chances of survival

Uncertain of how much time had passed, when Enleike awoke once more, he found himself within a vast and intricate magical array

Seeing Enleco with a downcast expression, the creature spoke in a comforting tone: "Although I cannot lend you strength, I can guide you in acquiring it"

Do not think that Enleiko and Kate have completed their studies, nor should you believe that Bertina has finally finished washing that entire room full of dirty clothes. Furthermore, do not assume that Chris has shown great kindness.

Certainly, they also carefully selected a portion of humanity to enter that space with them. Meanwhile, the dilapidated world was left to other humans

Therefore, for the sake of the country, family, and one's own future, it is essential to persuade the teacher to lend assistance

She gently returned a greeting and said, "I truly did not expect to encounter Mr. Kate here"

Enleco finds itself in this unusual world, where various adverse reactions come pouring in.

After the great catastrophe, humanity continued to reproduce, and the struggle for control over humanity ultimately erupted into a brilliant battle between gods and demons

Kate paused for a moment, and then a flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking her left rib and delivering a sharp jolt. With a new wound added, Kate dared not let her focus waver again

After Enleiko, in a state of mental collapse, casually signed over a dozen agreements drafted by the great sorceress Chris, he finally fainted

At the dining table, the sorceress Chris inquired about the princess's purpose for visiting

Moreover, Chris's teaching methods are truly difficult for others to agree with. She neither explains the principles behind the arrangement of the magic circle nor the methods of application and meditation. Instead, she solely teaches Enleiko the functions and arrangements of the memory magic circle, and then commands Enleiko to experiment on his own

The liberation of the four unfortunate trial participants comes from a sudden guest

When the determined wizard Chris saw that there was nothing in the magic circle except for Enleiko, the great wizard casually summoned a high-level lightning storm, enveloping Enleiko along with the magic circle, and then turned around to go back to sleep

Princess? Enleike was taken aback. He had indeed heard that the current king had a son and a daughter. However, all of this seemed to belong to two entirely different worlds from that of the son of a grocery store owner. He had never imagined that one day he would be able to see either of them in person

The princess before me seems to be about the same age as Kate. However, she is clearly much more mature than this older child, Kate

......

I see!

Do not be deceived by Chris's eccentric behavior; she is undoubtedly a learned sorceress

However, since participating in this trial journey, he has developed an increasingly profound affection for magic, and it is now quite impractical to ask him to give it up

"The magic light cannon energy gathering panel? Perhaps it refers to that 'moonlight mirror'; even Chris herself does not know the origin of this object"

Reflecting on Chris's various actions and persecutions, and finally considering the contracts that were forcibly signed, I ponder my current status—being the private property of the Grand Princess. I am uncertain whether I should feel sorrow or relief.

Due to the prayers of those who have rediscovered their faith, the divine beings from another world have finally sensed the changes in this world. The messengers sent by the gods have spread civilization anew among the faithful. Thus, the order of the present world has been established. The realm inhabited by the gods is referred to by people as the "Heavenly Realm"

I will not cause you any harm

However, the princess greatly admired Bertina, not because of Bertina's abilities, but solely because she was utterly captivated by Bertina's culinary skills

The bright light gradually converged, revealing a beautiful noble lady within the illumination

As his consciousness awakened, the magic circle gradually faded away on its own. Enleiko felt as if his mind was completely blank, with the only memory lingering being a lengthy incantation.

In the choice between survival and destruction, Enleike excels at multiple-choice questions

As a half-host, Bertina took the initiative to greet the princess without hesitation, leaving only three boys to stay in the original house

The princess could only furrow her brows in disbelief, unable to comprehend that there existed such base and shameless individuals in the world

The panicked Enleco repeatedly emitted magical signals, summoning the magician Chris from another world

Hearing these words, Enleiko, who had climbed up from the depths of despair, repeatedly pleaded, "Please, tell me quickly." His desire for magic was so intense that he did not even consider what price he might have to pay to the creature before him

During the day, the surroundings become as scorching as a steelmaking furnace, with the immense, blistering sun causing the ground to emit wisps of smoke. The molten glass churns in waves, flowing into a river of fiery red.

Upon hearing the princess's request, all four trial participants were taken aback in astonishment

It was only after a prolonged period of this state that individuals began to recover the original civilizational beliefs from the ruins scattered across the world, and magic was also rediscovered during this time

"Why did you come out?" Although Enleiko knew that this creature was not dangerous, releasing a demon from the demon realm into this peaceful world might have adverse effects

Bertina and Jerry are sitting on one side watching

I may not be suited to be a magician, Enleiko muttered to himself

"A very interesting trap," the cloud of smoke remarked, "It seems you are not the one in charge, merely a pitiful creature used as bait"

Each thread resembles a living creature darting about. However, the black smoke binds these lively threads like a rope, and as the threads multiply, the moonlight mirror diminishes, as if it were evaporating

The divine-demonic contract, based on the deity and demon of the contracting parties, can provide the contracting counterpart with direct elemental control support from the spellcaster. In other words, you can control the elements that the contracted deity can manipulate with minimal mental effort. For instance, if you enter into a contract with the God of Fire or the Flame Demon, you will be able to easily utilize fire-based magic. However, your mental strength does not increase, and your ability to use magic from other elements does not improve simply by contracting with a deity.

When Enleike awoke from his coma, he found himself covered in various herbs, with a pungent herbal aroma permeating the entire room

It is unclear whether it is due to Kate's poor flattery skills or because Chris has recently been inundated with compliments and thus looks down on ordinary flattery; in any case, the sorceress Chris showed no reaction to it.

Everyone harbored their own thoughts as they quietly finished dinner

"Did you not experience the feeling of using magic when you were in the demon realm? Did that not help you understand the essence of magic?"

Thus, under the guidance of the wise elders of the demon race, a plan to tempt and lead humanity was quietly set in motion.

The territory of the demon race has been significantly eroded, and although the powerful monsters created in large numbers by the demon race have caused immense losses to humanity in the short term, ultimately, humanity will inevitably eliminate those monsters. Furthermore, humanity's strength continues to grow stronger with each ongoing battle

After much contemplation and deliberation, Enlaike finally accepted the sword; after all, when one is in a dire situation, having a lifeline, no matter how slender, is still a good thing

When the gods awoke, humanity had become uncontrollable. Therefore, the gods unleashed calamities to eliminate most of humanity, but a portion of humans were protected by the gods and the demon race respectively

Do not forget, you have signed many contracts with me; you are now my private property. Naturally, I hope that what belongs to me is as useful as possible

Enleiko noticed that his interruption had hindered Kate's training, so he gently walked over to the two bystanders and asked, "Hey! What kind of training is Kate doing"

Kate anxiously signaled to her companions from the side, and the two "shrewd merchants" who regained their composure quickly began to employ their masterful and refined skills in flattery, inundating the sorceress Chris with sweet talk.

The handle of the knife is extremely short, making it impossible for Enleike to grip it fully; he can only hold it with his thumb and index finger, while his middle finger tightly pinches the handle. The ring finger and little finger are not only unable to exert force, but the handle also lacks sufficient length, thus they can only hold it loosely.

"If you enter into a soul contract with me, offering your spirit and entrusting your soul entirely to my care, I shall spare your life," said the demon.

Enleiko can only hope that Chris will show mercy and remember to summon him back to his original world in a relatively short time, rather than forgetting him in this other world for three days as last time. Of course, Chris said it was not intentional, and Enleiko can only consider it as an accidental oversight; otherwise, what else can he do

The energy gathering plate is made of dark matter, which has the ability to convert magical energy into dark magic. I have a method to restore the energy gathering plate back to dark matter, allowing you to absorb the dark matter. I will also transmit a type of magic to you, enabling you to utilize the properties of dark matter to absorb the energy from the magic attacks directed at you during battle. With magical power, you will be able to use magic.

In the harsh environment, Enleiko has endured for three days, and his mental state has reached the brink of collapse. The power of the magic circle has diminished significantly as his mental strength declines. Now it is daytime, and without the support of the moonlight's magic, enduring the scorching daylight has become exceedingly difficult

In the upcoming period, Enleike finally received formal instruction from Chris

In her battle with the old wolf, the black sphere she ultimately used was also made based on the same principle. It can be said that she is the only magician in this world capable of manipulating space

The tardy wizard Chris hurriedly finished breakfast and urged the young people to set off quickly
