Chapter 1454 Baccara (2)
Baccara came closer, and the smell became stronger which convinced her even more, “Are you a descendant of that hardened-water dragon?”
Tang Shaoyang chuckled after hearing how Baccara called Kankara’Xeo. Hardened-water dragon, meaning ice dragon. She was not wrong that ice was hardened-water, but it sounded funny when she said it.
“I wish I was Kankara’Xeo’s descendant, but I am not. Since you know Kankara’Xeo, you should also know my class, right?”
Someone who knew Kankara’Xeo should have knowledge of his class. If she knew about his class, she would figure out where the smell came from.
“So you are a cursed dragon that integrates with Kankara’Xeo?” Baccara had a smile. Her guest was partly right.
“I am not a dragon either. I am hu…” Tang Shaoyang paused. He was no longer a human, he was Tang. A race he developed himself, “I am Tang….” He explained what Tang was to Baccara, not minding sharing his secret with the spirit.
For such a strong creature to die and resorted to being a spirit, meaning she died with vengeance. That was the only reason for her to agree to be a spirit. Meaning, that he needed to show something interesting for her to be interested in making a contract with him.
At least, he already had three things that would impress Baccara. One, it was his bloodline. Second, it was his contract with Avyn. Third, it was his race; for the fact that he created a new race.
Sure enough, Baccara’s eyes glowed brighter after hearing Tang Shaoyang. A combination of a demon, dragon, and high-human.
“So, you are a new race with a cursed dragon’s bloodline, and Kankara’Xeo’s spirit!” Baccara guessed.
He did not tell her about the bloodline and spirit, which one was a spirit and which one was a bloodline. And yet she guessed it correctly.
Tang Shaoyang nodded. Not that he did not want to fight Baccara to form the contract. It was just they were not in the right place. He felt as if he fought her. This place might disappear, and he would lose the training ground. That was what his gut feeling told him, and usually, his instinct never went wrong.
Baccara backed down, “Interesting, but I have one more question for you. If your answer satisfies me, then we can proceed with the contract. If the answer fails to satisfy me, then you have to fight me to form the contract.”
“How did you summon me? With your current strength. I don’t think you can gather enough sacrifice to summon a spirit of my rank as well as that hardened-water dragon.”
The reason behind the last question was to determine whether it was luck that helped him to summon her, or it was his strength. She wanted to know that.
If it was by luck, then he must obtain her contract with his strength which meant they had to fight. She did not want to form a contract with a weak contractor. A weak contractor would be an obstacle for her, an obstacle to achieving what she desired.
But if it was through his strength, meaning he sacrificed something that was much stronger than himself to be able to summon her. It was not that easy, in fact, it was extremely difficult to summon a spirit of her rank. Especially for someone who was still in the Demi-God Rank.
“I formed a contract with Avyn through luck,” Tang Shaoyang was honest. He felt like it was his luck that he managed to summon Avyn. He got a free summon for an Archaic Spirit, and he got Avyn from that one chance.
But it was different for Baccara, and he knew what made it possible to summon Baccara, “Maybe because of Calamity’s part. I used one tentacle of the Calamity Kraken that almost descended into this world.”
“Calamity!?” That immediately piqued Baccara’s interest, “You cut one of that Kraken’s tentacles? What happened to that thing?”
But then she squinted her eyes at him, “If you are lying to me. I will kill you!” A powerful aura burst out from Baccara.
The aura enveloped Tang Shaoyang like a cocoon, pressuring him. He got the same feeling when he first met Rumru as well as Avyn. Baccara’s aura was ferocious, suffocating, and heavy. That was merely an aura of a spirit, a creature that had been weakened considerably after she became a spirit.
But the current Tang Shaoyang was not the inexperienced Tang Shaoyang when he first met Rumru. If it was the old Tang Shaoyang’s, he would have fallen onto his knee already.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and he also released his aura. The two terrifying aura clashed, and he managed to push Baccara’s aura. He then looked at the blackbird in the eyes, “What’s the meaning of this, Baccara!? While it’s a pity to sacrifice a spirit of your caliber, I will not hesitate to do it. I don’t want a spirit who does not listen!”
The thought of sacrificing Baccara crossed his mind. He would do it if Baccara was harder to control than Doombringer.
“You lied to me! You lie that you use a part of Calamity to summon me! I am not that naive to fall for your lies! This world is too young for a Calamity to be summoned!”
She could tell the moment she arrived in this world that this world was young. It was too young for a Calamity to exist. No one fulfilled the condition to have the skill to summon Calamity, yet. That was why she thought Tang Shaoyang lied to her.
“Then use your head a little bit more. How do I know about Calamity even though this world is young as you say?”
Baccara calmed down after being questioned. Even though she still distrusted Tang Shaoyang, she found a little bit of truth in his words. He was right, no one should know about a Calamity in this young world unless….
“Because a clown, thinking he was a god, summoned a Calamity by violating his authority to obtain the skill forcefully. I fought that clown, and he knew that he was dead in my hand. So he summoned a calamity….”
Tang Shaoyang explained the fight against the Clown God, including the part where he fought the Calamity Kraken for a bit, forcing the Kraken to cut one of its tentacles. As well as The Administrator who came to drive away The Calamity.
Baccara listened calmly, and everything made sense now. The story became believable aside from the part where Tang Shaoyang forced the Kraken to cut one of its tentacles.
“Show me your fire!” She then became curious about what kind of fire caused The Kraken to cut its own tentacle.
Tang Shaoyang showed The Chaos Fire, and that was when Baccara’s eyes glowed even brighter, enraptured by the fire in his hand.
When he put off the fire, the glow in her eyes dimmed. Then he lit up the fire once, and her eyes glowed brighter again. That was quite funny to see, and he figured out that it was easy to read Baccara’s emotions through her eyes.
“Then let’s make the contract. It’s possible if it’s you!”
