Chapter 503. Fulfilling Desires
"So you want strength and immortality, huh?" Zarathunathis laughed out loud, "Hahah, now this is something you should ask from a demon of my level." He snapped his fingers, and Edward floated gently towards him, stopping in front of his face.
A contract surrounded by a dark demonic aura appeared before him, something anyone with a normal mind would recognize as ominous, and not a thing they should go near.
"Sign this contract, my child, then I can give you what you desire," Zarathunathis said gently, but the smile on his face clearly indicated he was more excited to grant Edward's wish than Edward himself.
Edward looked at the contract. Except for a single line in which it was written that Zarathunathis would grant him power and immortality, the other things he couldn't read at all. The problem was that there were more than twenty lines in total, and he had no idea what was written in them.
Hesitation appeared on Edward's face as he stared at the densely packed contract. After all, it was a universal fact that demons were known for deception and betrayal, and he had no intention of becoming another statistic to verify this credibility.
"Can I read what is written in the other lines?" Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Edward asked without signing the contract immediately. This caused the smile on Zarathunathis's face to disappear instantly, and even the second head, which had been in a sleeping state from the beginning, opened its dark, black hole-like eyes and stared at Edward unfriendlily.
Edward felt like he was about to meet Lady Death as a mountain-like pressure appeared all over his body, so strong that he could hardly breathe. Thankfully, it didn't last long, and Zarathunathis once again became friendly, speaking with a chuckle and his other head also returned to sleep mode.
"Sure, sure, but then I will also have to stick to my words, and can only grant you one wish according to the promise. This means you can only choose between strength or immortality, not both of them. So, do you still want to read the other conditions? By the way, let me tell you, those conditions have nothing to do with you, so you are wasting your golden opportunity...?
Well, you change your mind quite fast, hehehe."
While Zarathunathis was still talking, Edward, already hesitant after hearing that he could only choose one wish, as soon as he learned that the other conditions had nothing to do with him, quickly made a small cut on his finger by biting it and put his blood on the contract, surprising everyone.
"What do you think the other conditions will be?" Myne asked in an extremely low voice, which even Drakthor beside him could barely hear.
"How would I know? But they are definitely anything but good. I think your kingdom is about to suffer very heavily," Drakthor replied casually, making Myne's face darken. After all, although he hardly cared about the matter regarding the kingdom, however, the ruling party was almost all his own people, and he could do whatever he wanted in the kingdom.
Most importantly, it was his home, so naturally, he didn't want to see his home turning into a ruin.
"Since you have signed the contract, here, according to the conditions, drink this and you will get power beyond your imagination and immortality," Zarathunathis said, taking out a small glass tube of red liquid and giving it to Edward, who, without any delay quickly drank it down.
"AHHHH!"
"Amm, cough, cough, everything has a price, my friend, and being a Varkash means no more sex, enjoying delicious food, sleeping, dreaming, and smelling anything. But food doesn't matter much. Most demons survive on souls, which is the most delicious thing for them. Compared to souls, those weird foods you humans and other living races eat are no different than shit."
"Once he tastes a soul, believe me, his mood would surely improve a lot," Drakthor explained with an awkward smile, which seemed more of an assurance for Edward who was eavesdropping on their conversation with his new-found power boost. Now he could easily hear even the smallest noise in the entire hall.
"But since this guy doesn't have a little brother, then how does his tribe even give birth to children?" Myne, whose head was stuck on the same topic, asked, which made a black vein appear on Drakthor's forehead as he couldn't understand why this perverted brat cared so much about someone else's private life.
"Are you blind or what? Didn't you just see their tribe member being born? What else proof do you need, you damn little brat? Now don't ask anything about this topic, otherwise, I'll beat the hell out of you," Drakthor growled.
"All right, all right, I understand why you're being so angry. It's not like I asked how many rounds you last with your wife, that she had to cheat you behind your back to satisfy her sex life. You old man have no patience at all," Myne taunted, moving a bit away from Drakthor with a hint of disgust in his voice.
"What have you done to me?! I didn't want to be a disgusting demon! I wanted to stay in my original form!"
While Myne and Drakthor were barking like children, Edward, who had heard enough nonsense, looked at Zarathunathis, who was smiling at him proudly and asked in a hoarse and creepy voice like a rusty robot whose vocal code was damaged.
"Huh? But you didn't mention it in the contract," Zarathunathis replied innocently, snapping his fingers. The contract appeared before Edward, which clearly didn't state that he wanted everything in his original human form.
"But... but you should have known about it..." Edward, who was in a rage and wanted to vent his anger, was left completely speechless after he read his own condition. After all, it was clearly his fault for not thinking about this matter.
"How so? I am not your mother, nor can I read your mind. How do you expect me to know about it?
But worry not, if you're just concerned about looking like a human or want to have all senses like taste, smell, sleep, etc back, then you can get them by learning a few powerful spells which you can exchange from me with souls, and even the ability to have sex can be obtained as long as there are enough souls."
"Here, this is my card. When you have enough souls, you can contact me anytime, but remember, the transaction shouldn't be less than one hundred thousand souls, otherwise, that would be our first and last transaction. I don't do business with beggars. Now you can go and do your own things," Zarathunathis said, waving his hand.
A dark red portal appeared beneath Edward, who was observing the card in his hand. He disappeared into the portal before he could understand anything.
"Now since the trouble matter is solved, let me ask you two some simple questions before I can also start my work as well, I would be very troublesome if that crazy bitch knows about me."
After sending Edward, the contract owner, and his ticket to stay in this world to a secluded location far away from any nearby living creatures, so he couldn't mess around too much and die before he finished his work, Zarathunathis said with a smile, looking at Myne and Drakthor, making both of them gulp down saliva nervously.
