nAnd soon, a punch connected with the man’s chin, just displaying the difference between his domain and my throne world.

nI see… it seems he can’t use any other skills here besides the control over the domain… which he uses in a very narrow-minded way.

nHe only uses it to assist, not set up any attacks… he clearly hadn’t honed this skill or even bothered at doing it at all.

nMy opponent soon realized the difference in our physical capabilities and deactivated his domain. Still, even as he began to conjure a spell of blood magic, my body caught his neck and dug two fingers right into his eyes.

n“ARGHHHHHHHH!”

nHis limbs flailed as he attempted to claw my fingers from out of his eyes, only to accidentally shove them further in as he hit my hands.

nWell, seems this is over-

nAll of a sudden, the man was wrapped in a thick shell of blood, like a cocoon of the essence which flows through our veins.

nMy consciousness which floated from above, was dragged back down and was injected straight into my body, where I stumbled just a bit as I backed away from the cocoon now stabbing me with blood-red spikes.

nThey punctured my skin quite easily and left me to nearly pass out from the blood loss as I took a knee and raised my eyes upwards.

n“Assholes…” I muttered through gritted teeth, a pair of sharp predatory red eyes greeting me through a gray, foggy mist.

n“*sigh*… So you’re the boy my son has been talking about,” A chilling and mature voice echoed through the air. “Your capabilities are passable….”

n“Are you with that man?”

n“You could say that, but I was more here for this guy rather than anybody else… though, it seems I’ve found somebody stronger,” The voice muttered as she walked out of the mist and revealed herself to me.

nShe towered over me at a clean seven-foot, deathly white skin, long, soft white hair, and blood-red eyes so sharp you’d think they could cut me in half.

nAs she cracked a slight grin, I could see two pointy fangs protrude from her top row of teeth, allowing me to know just exactly who this was.

n“Okay… so what do you want… you’re leagues above me,” I responded, but it wasn’t long before the colosseum security surrounded the woman while they took me away, chained up and bound with magical shackles.

n“I’ll talk to you later,” The woman lightly smiled before raising the cocoon of blood into the air, and with but a snap of her free hand, the thing exploded, coating everybody in the colosseum, battlefield, and stands.

nAfter everybody shielded themselves from the explosion, they looked back to where the vampire should have been but noticed she was gone, completely gone, nowhere to be seen.

n…

n“You’re finally here,” I smiled while glancing up at the unmoving shadow just above my cell and as the shadow unfolded, revealing a small bat, it slipped through the bars, moving straight towards me.

n“I didn’t come here to waste time. Decline the contract, and I shall never appear before you again,”

n“Woah, woah, woah… contract? I was expecting a deal, not a contract… If it’s a contract, I don’t give a **. You can leave right now and never come back if you want. I’m not making a goddamn contract,” I stated one of my conditions, and as the bat turned into a woman, she slowly walked towards me, her piercing red eyes attempting to intimidate me.

nAs I glanced down at my hand, I noticed it was trembling, and from the slight glow hovering around the bottom of her eyes, I could already tell she was using some kind of mind-bending or manipulating skill.

n“Fine… so be it,” She shrugged as if she had nothing to lose.

n“Just so you know, a guard will be coming back in here for a routine check-up in just a few minutes now. You should take care of that,”

n“Oh, don’t worry. They all know why I’m here and what I’m here for… I mean, even if your little hostile friends here snitched, they wouldn’t be doing much,” She lightly chuckled as her eyes scanned the cells around me.

nMost were asleep, but the few stared at our conversation, observing and analyzing the both of us for as much information as possible.

n“Sly bastards… I bet there are some moles as well,” She chuckled but ultimately didn’t care in the end as she summoned a wooden chair from the ring on her left hand and sat down on it, staring down at me as I leaned against the only stone wall.

n“What are your conditions…?”

n“You must serve me with full intent, but you do not have to swear your loyalty… for a vampire, going that far with just a fling is completely useless. But, you are very proficient in blood magic, I have heard… and your evolution is quite unique. My son wants to know where you acquired such powerful magic-“

n“Demon Lord Beezlebub… I acquired it there… any other questions?” I smiled in order to test this woman as she squinted at me.

nMy heart rate and everything were normal as I lied, and judging from her reaction, I’ll be able to know if taking this deal is smart.

n“Don’t lie to me,” She responded, but it was weak, only basing it off the condition that I used a demon lord.

nObviously, that was quite out of the ballpark, but it made less suspicious when I actually said what I needed to say and hear what I needed to hear.

n“That’s it. Those are the conditions… now state yours and I’ll decide if it’s worth it,”

n“I wouldn’t mind serving you if you give me access to some knowledge… or maybe skill books,” I smiled and as the woman squinted at me yet again, she let out a long sigh.

n“Is that it?”

n“Also, I would like to know that you can have my back if time needs be,”

n“Sure, whatever,”

nWhat a dumbass…
