Chapter 43 Contract An Empress Beast
"Father, this demon belongs to the breed of the incubus that our mistress told us a lot during the species course! He's truly an incubus, isn't he?" Emilia had almost trembling hands because of her excitement, unlike her mother who did not seem surprised, and her father who was mad with rage.
"Don't even think about it! He is the son of this bastard, he deserves to be killed! And you don't need his methods to increase your rank. Your talent is far superior to ours. Take your mother's example." He didn't even spare a look or the chance to let his daughter ask him for a favor. He knew why his daughter was excited to see a species of such rarity and beneficial for any female sex.
"But father...
"No, but! Go to your room and forget what you just saw. I will never allow this bastard to live one more day. He will die on the tenth floor between the clutches of this abnormal fox girl! In the best case, he will remain sealed for eternity in my prison. His fate is already sealed, he will never find the fault, Ha ha ha!" His smile was triumphant.

As for Alvine, Despite all his disadvantages, instead of fear, he was currently feeling an unprecedented excitement. Maybe it's because of his "god of slaughter" skill that is still active.
But he didn't care and he didn't want to know either. All he wanted was to know how far he can push his limits by fighting against them stronger than ever.
But just when he made his decision, Empress fox said something else that had more than shocked him.
"Before you decide anything, let me give you some advice. If you decide to fight me, you will regret it all your life." She says in a serious tone.
"Why? Because you trust that you will get victoriously?" He frowned.
"No, that's not the cause. That you are a winner will not change much in the outcome... at best, you will get stuck here forever in my place. But in the worst case, you will die between my claws!" She said.
Alvine's frowning became deeper. For some reason, he knew that the beast standing in front of him was not lying. But just to be sure...
"Why are you so sure of my fate even if I come out victorious? Is it because of your damn divination skill?" He replied.
"No, I don't need my competence to know that. It was the same thing that happened to me a thousand years ago!" She also replied. With the tone of her voice alone, Alvine knew that she was beginning to lose patience.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'll come out victorious even in this form. I also feel that I can no longer last in this form... for now, my priority is to get out of here and not to fight a battle that seems lost in advance.' -Alvine, summarizing the situation.
"How am I supposed to believe you? What proves to me that it's not a trap that you carefully want to set for me?" He asked with suspicion.
"I am nothing that can prove this to you and I have nothing to prove to you to guarantee you that it is not a trap. All you need to know is that if I wanted to kill you, you will be dead a long time ago. But it won't help me achieve my goals." She replied. 'What did he experience to be so suspicious?' She thought.
"If you leave here, what do you plan to do?" He did not need to ask him for her objective, which was clear through her previous words.
But at the time Alvine asked him this question, she was slightly surprised to see him guess his goal so easily. But she immediately resumed her cold blood by answering Alvine's question. "I haven't decided yet. But I plan to stay around the tower to find a way to free my clan... or at least what remains of it."
"Hm? I don't know what kind of time you lived in, but the Brisht tower may be a mixed tower, but it doesn't accept beasts. Especially if the latter is at the rank of the empress." Just after Alvine finished his sentence.
The fox, which was in the form of a beast, was enveloped by a dazzling glow that enveloped her whole body and her size decreased second by second...
Alvine, who saw this scene, prepared to fight a fierce battle against the fox, his scythe was held firmly and shone with a crimson glow. Everything was ready to receive the "attack" from the beast.
But at that moment, the light that enveloped the beast went out, and instead, the fox that was the size of an elephant was transformed into the shape of a humanoid girl! She had pure white hair, hairy ears, and nine fluffy tails that were as pure as snow. She was dressed in a white dress that fits perfectly with the purity of her angelic face that bore an ungraspable charm. Her silhouette was no less attractive than that of the dean!
Alvine who had prepared to receive a sneaky attack from her felt stupid when he realized that the girl just wanted to take a humanoid form. He was not surprised to see her turn into a girl, after all, her status showed that she was a hybrid and belonged to the breed of foxes who are hybrids with their special abilities to turn into beasts. But what he did not understand was why it suddenly resumed its original form.
"Are you a battle maniac or what? We have a goal in common and do you always point your weapon at me?" Her tone was no longer serious as before, she was sweet to hear despite saying her words with annoyance.
"Prudence is the mother of safety. Just because we have the same goals does not mean that we are necessarily allies. I know your goal, but I don't know what method you intend to use to achieve it." Alvine replied without lowering her guard!
"Sigh, you're honestly an annoying man! Who would have thought you would resist the charms of this princess? To put it simply, you must sign a contract with me and I would become your contractual beast as soon as we escape from here." Seeing Alvine silent and always suspicious...
"Of course, don't expect me to remain your contracted beast forever. I can cancel the contract at any time with my law of time!" She added.
"What is the relationship between the contract and our exit door?"
"You must first have into the contract with me otherwise I wouldn't tell you the method!" She replied.
"Okay. But if you try anything doubtful during the process... I would kill you without the slightest hesitation." He replied as if he were in a position of absolute strength against the girl.
"Tch, I've already explained it to you. If I wanted to tell you you will already be dead, so stop with your useless threats!" She nodded with annoyance.
"Very well, I would explain the method to enter into a contract with me. Place your hand on my forehead and inject your vital energy. You at least know how to inject vital energy, don't you?" A provocative smile appeared on her luscious lips when she asked Alvine.
"If only that's it, there's no problem. He was confident because the person who will be most exposed during the process is none other than Yuer because to have into a contract, injected with vital energy can be dangerous, but she must open her sea of consciousness to let Alvine mark it. Meanwhile, Alvine can kill her if he wishes. That's why he is suspicious of this girl who had no guarantee that he would not betray her at a time when she is most vulnerable. But Alvine had a conclusion, either the girl was stupid to trust him, or she took precautions in case of a trick!
Without losing another second, Alvine slowly walked towards her with his scythe who was ready at any time to defend him in case. As for Yuer, she knelt before him without neglecting the slightest detail of the ceremony. Alvine placed his palm on her forehead which made her fox ears tremble slightly, not paying attention to the small details, he injected part of his vital energy into Yuer's sea of consciousness who welcomed him without resistance. After a while...
Ding...
|You have completed the hidden quest... |
|condition of the quest: sign a master/beast contract with a beast above the Master rank. |
|Reward: your lineage to progress from the silver rank. |
Seeing his information, Alvine let out a breath of fresh air. He can relax for a while. "Now tell me how to get out of here?" However, he did not waste time.
I can now feel it precisely. The special energy that emanates in him is probably the key that will help me achieve my revenge!' She thought while the archaic motif shone on her forehead proving that she is now Alvine's contracted beast.
"All you have to do is inject your mana into this relic it will open a portal that will lead us to the exit." She took out a small stone that gave off strange energy and gave it to Alvine who looked at her with a lost aura.
