Chapter 98: Sacrifice One"s Soul, and Emily Becomes a n.o.ble FiendTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Time went back by a day.
Late at night, Linley looked at the two people in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“Sir…
“Are you a fiend… ?”
Wharton subconsciously gulped.
Although Pompeii City was a city of fiends, Wharton, who had lived in Pompeii City since he was young, had never seen a fiend before.
Wharton believed that the n.o.ble existence of demons was not something that a poor commoner like him, who had lived in the slums for a long time, could come into contact with.
At one point, Wharton had even thought that he would no longer have anything to do with demons in this lifetime.
Thus, Wharton"s heart was set on kindness. He hoped that after leaving Pompeii, he would bring his daughter, Emily, to the city under the control of the Holy See and live a happy life.
“Brother, are you a demon?”
Emily was also very surprised.
Although she had seen Davis casually kill Karthoth, Emily had never imagined that Davis was a demon.
After all, a demon was an extremely evil existence in Emily"s imagination and Davis was so gentle to others. Hence, how could he be a demon?
“Whether I"m a demon or not is not important. The amount of gold coins you have in this area are enough to change the quality of your lives. It will also allow you to leave Pompeii City, find a suitable living environment, and start a new life.
“I want to know your answer. Do you accept or reject?”
Davis said calmly.
“I…”
Wharton was in a dilemma.
Offering his soul to a demon was equivalent to entrusting his life to a demon. He would forever serve the demon as his master.
Even if he was reincarnated later, he would still be unable to escape the fate of being controlled by a demon.
It could be said that the price was extremely high.
“I"m willing!”
Emily suddenly said from the side.
“Emily, don"t make a decision that easily.”
Wharton wanted to say something, but was quickly opposed by Emily.
“Dad, even if brother is a demon, he"s still the kindest demon I"ve ever seen.
“If brother really has evil intentions toward us, when brother just woke up, he would have had the ability to attack us.
“Furthermore, brother saved dad and is now willing to help us change our quality of life.
“Although he wants us to give him our souls, I"m sure that a good person like brother wouldn"t do anything to us.”
Emily said.
Davis rubbed Emily"s head.
“Emily, if you think like this, I"m afraid you"ll suffer greatly in the future.”
Wharton pondered for a long time before finally nodding.
“I was too abrupt, demon lord.
“I"m willing to become your slave.”
He slowly stood up, knelt down on one knee toward Davis, and deeply bowed down.
Emily also wanted to follow suit, but was abruptly stopped by Davis.
“Emily, you"ll become my family member.”
Davis smiled faintly, and his right hand tapped a rune on Emily"s head.
A black pattern appeared on Emily"s forehead.
Then, a mysterious energy formed a bridge between Davis and Emily.
At this moment, Emily felt that her body was being transformed by magic.
Her body, which had been lacking nutrition for a long time, was slowly growing.
Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which had yet to develop, were slowly bulging at this moment. Her height had also grown by about ten centimeters.
Emily, who was originally 17 years old, looked like she was only 14 or 15 years old. However, when she grew up, she quickly became a beauty with a child"s face and huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Her long hair hung behind her back, and her initially timid eyes now faintly flickered with confidence.
A faint aura slowly emerged around Emily"s body.
Davis felt for a moment. The current Emily probably barely had the strength of a demon baron.
“Master.”
Emily slowly lowered her head and bowed to Davis.
“Emily!”
When Wharton saw that his daughter actually possessed such formidable strength, even in front of his own daughter, Wharton felt his heart thump rapidly because of that formidable aura. He was incomparably excited.
“This is your reward. As a price, you will forever be my servants and dependents.
“Of course, if you can surpa.s.s me and kill me when I"m not paying attention, you can be completely freed from the contract.
“As long as you can do it.”
Davis pushed the heavy gold coins to Wharton and said indifferently.
“No, of course I know what I"m capable of. I will straighten out my ident.i.ty and serve the lord well.”
Davis shook his head.
He was not a pampered person. If it was not for Emily"s chronic malnutrition and the possibility of her being turned into a vegetable after devouring her memories, Davis would not have wasted so much saliva, as he would have just let the two of them become his servants and dependents.
As long as they became the demon"s dependents or servants, the person who signed the contract would never be able to resist the demon"s orders. Even if they knew they were going to die, they would not be able to resist.
This contract was extremely vicious, but at the same time, it had endless benefits for the person who signed it.
As long as humans signed a contract with a demon, they would be able to obtain 1/10,000 of the demon"s strength, and they would also be able to inherit a portion of the demon"s abilities.
As long as the demon"s strength continued to grow, even if the subordinate did not do anything, they could continue to grow.
If Davis" strength was said to have directly advanced from a great demon king to a chaos demon king, Emily"s strength might skyrocket to the level of a demon lord or even a demon king.
At that time, as a subordinate of a chaos demon king, Emily would probably be able to instantly destroy a city with just a stomp of her foot.
“I will leave Pompeii City with you. Once you choose a new city to live in, I will leave.”
“Master, are you abandoning us?”
Emily"s eyes could not help but waver.
Everything she had now was given to her by Davis. Although they had only been together for a short period of time, Emily had already developed a kins.h.i.+p with Davis that was thicker than water.
“Yes, my lord. Let us follow you.”
Wharton, who was standing at the side, also said anxiously.
Although he did not know why Emily"s strength had suddenly skyrocketed, Wharton was certain that Davis" strength must have reached an extremely terrifying level to be able to make Emily"s strength suddenly become so powerful.
“Let"s go.” Davis faintly smiled as he spoke.
“If there"s a chance, I would really like to bring all of you along to leave. However, my enemy is an existence that none of you can imagine.”
“Right now, we are not ready yet.”
