Tang Shaoyang was quite surprised with what he got. He was aware that the summoned spirit had always been related to the sacrifice or the place where he summoned the spirit. Just like when he sacrificed the people of Rosalie’s former kingdom, he summoned her. Just like when he summoned Arkanos in the Ortis Continent. Of course, most of the time the summon was related to the sacrifices.𝓞𝗏𝗅𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t

He used the demonic ape to summon Zaneos, the demon swordsman. Then he summoned Orlean, the Demon Prince with Undead sacrifices. He also summoned Bronson, The Executioner with Undead sacrifices. Most of the time the spirit he summoned related to the sacrifice, and this time was no different. He summoned a spirit that somehow had a relation to the Kraken.

You have summoned Mythical Spirit, Karoen – Voidknight

Of course, it was related not because he summoned a Kraken, but because of the spirit’s head. The head was the head Kraken with tentacles covering the face. Its head was something similar to the Kraken, that was why he thought it was related to the Kraken. As for the body, Voidknight had a humanoid body, two hands, and two legs. The thing that made it starkly different was its deep purple skin.

Karoen looked around, noticing a little bit of a trace of a battle not far from where he was. He glanced to that side because he sensed the Void Energy, something he was familiar with. After that, he looked toward the being that summoned him, a human with black hair with weird clothes.

It was weird because the human wore a thin piece of clothes, and no armor or weapon. He tried it out, trying to sense the human’s aura. Then he sensed the Dragon Aura and also Slayer Energy within the human. That surprised the Voidknight, but he could tell the human was still weaker than him.

‘How could he have enough sacrifice to summon me?’ The Voidknight asked himself.

He looked around and saw two humans, skeletons, and a dragon. When he tried to pry at the dragon, he was shocked and took a few steps back. The dragon unleashed the aura to push his pry, and he quickly realized how the human managed to gather enough sacrifice to summon him.

Tang Shaoyang smiled, “Have you had enough looking around? If so, let’s get to the main topic. What’s your choice? Have a mutual contract with me or will we settle the contract the old ways?” He offered his hand to the Voidknight.

“What do you mean by mutual contract?” The Voidknight replied, his voice was ethereal yet toneless.

“If you form a contract with me, then I will grant you one wish, like resurrecting you for example,” Tang Shaoyang explained, “As for the old ways, you should know that, right? We fight, and the winner will make the decision.”

The Voidknight let out a chuckle, shaking his head, “Don’t think about resurrecting me, kid. You don’t have enough spirit to do that yet, so you are just giving me a false promise. It will take you hundred of years to have enough spirit to resurrect me.”

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, “I mean you have been waiting long enough in the void, no? I am just giving you a chance to get back your life, and I have resurrected three of my spirits for your information. It’s not a false promise.”

“What about the fight? Will you send your dragon to fight me?” The Voidknight turned toward Avyn. If it was Avyn, he might lose the fight. But if it was the human who fought him, he would win without a doubt.

“No, I will fight you!” Tang Shaoyang replied confidently, licking his lips, “You might be the right person to test my full power. I have been looking for someone to fight me all out, and you are the right opponent for that. You can’t be killed, and you can’t kill me.”

Karoen was caught off guard by how awfully confident the human was. He had seen and experienced countless battles in his life, and he was sure the human was not bluffing. The human would really fight him if he chose to fight. If he had to choose between a mutual contract and a fight, he would choose the former. The reason he did not want to fight was because he was afraid of losing. If he lost, he was no different than a slave, but if it was a mutual contract, meaning both were signing the contract with equal standing. A slave had no words or rights, and he had experienced it once how awful he had been treated as a slave and did not want to experience it again.

The Voidknight mulled over, thinking what he should do. His confidence shook a little bit, then he made the decision, “I have one condition for you if you want me to sign a mutual contract with you.”

“Speak your condition!”

“If you have one Archaic Spirit…. Progenitor Spirit, then I will agree to the mutual contract. If you don’t have one, then you don’t deserve me.”

Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes, then he glanced at Avyn. He did really want to fight, but again he did not want to lie. Especially to someone that he might depend on in the future. Honesty was the best foundation in a relationship, at least, he believed. So he decided not to lie just because he wanted to fight.

“I have one, and you have seen her.”

Listening to the words, Karoen followed the human’s gaze that was directed toward the dragon. He realized the identity of the dragon, but it just confused him even more. Why was a Progenitor Spirit like her willing to form a contract with someone as weak as this human? There were a lot of questions in his head, but he held it back.

There was no need for him to ask for confirmation either because he could tell that the dragon was most likely the Progenitor Spirit. She was stronger than him, and that was enough proof.

The Voidknight approached Tang Shaoyang and reached his hand for a handshake. Tang Shaoyang then realized that Karoen had a tentacle-like finger. The tentacles coiled on his palm as their foreheads shone, an indication they were forming a contract.

Tang Shaoyang scrunched because of the slimy handshake. The tentacle finger produced something similar to mucus.

You have formed a contract with Mythical Spirit, Karoen – The Voidknight!
