Call Me Demon Lord

When Li Yao saw Lin Xiaowei's message, he was busy "enchanting" a mechanical device.

He put down the mechanical parts in his hands and began to ponder.

A gift for himself? He figured it out after a little thought.

Lin Xiaowei has been busy and hasn't been online for the past few days, and she hasn't replied to my messages. I guess she's been preparing this so-called "gift"? Given that I just became Formal Mage, the gift Lin Xiaowei prepared should be a familiar.

After a mage is formally promoted,

They usually form a contract with a powerful being and turn it into a familiar.

Familiars have many uses: they can help mages understand spell deconstruction; when a mage's magic power is insufficient, the power of the familiar can be drawn upon; mages at lower levels also lack self-protection capabilities, and familiars are equivalent to protectors of mages in the early stages, as well as personal assistants.

Generally speaking, a mage's familiars Modu tamed with the help of a mentor.

Only powerful familiars can help and protect mages when they are weak. However, low-level mages are no match for powerful beings, so they have to ask their parents to step in.

To avoid the awkward situation of familiars becoming useless in the later stages.

The best tamed familiars are those with high growth potential.

certainly,

This way, it will be easier for mages to train familiars.

Forging Familiar Contract consumes a mage's primordial spiritual energy. Therefore, while a single mage can forge multiple familiars, the quality and quantity of these familiars will burden the mage's spirit and cannot be increased indefinitely. This differs from the Summonology of Conjuration School.

Although the Summonology also relies on contracts to summon enemies for combat.

Summonology typically summon lower-level creatures; some powerful beings are often summoned as projections. Summoning the true entity comes at a considerable cost.

Familiar Contract is different.

This is a forced Slavery Contract.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao picked up his phone and replied, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

It was guessed.

Lin Xiaowei pouted. "Boring!"

Li Yao smiled. He could even picture Lin Xiaowei desperately earning Points to exchange for this familiar, and then showing it off to him like a treasure.

Yes, very vivid.

He said, "Thank you, you're such a kind person."

Lin Xiaowei: "???"

That doesn't sound quite right, does it? Dog, are you getting a little too cocky? Lin Xiaowei: "You actually dare to give me the 'friend zone' card? I'll kill you!" Then she casually throws out a bunch of emojis: Salted Fish Shockwave! Salted Fish Annihilation Cannon! Salted Fish throws Two-Way Foil at you...

Li Yao rolled his eyes. "You're burning through your data, aren't you?" Li Yao: "Getted stronger recently? Burning through soul energy so easily?"

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

She unfolded her personal notebook and wrote, "On a certain day, month, year, hour, and minute, Li Yao, that brat, slighted me! When I return, I will definitely hold that brat's head down and rub it into the ground a hundred times, a hundred times!"

I'm so angry!

Lin Xiaowei irritably put away her notebook and sent a message: "The host summoned me, I'll send it to you!"

Ouch! Just thinking about the magic stone energy consumed in presiding over the Summoning Altar made Li Yao's teeth ache with heartache.

He asked, "What kind of familiar did you prepare for me? Is it strong? More importantly, is it pretty?" There was a very strong old swordsman living next door to him, so his safety wasn't really a problem... so whether it was pretty or not was crucial! Lin Xiaowei gritted her teeth and sneered, "Ha, men really are all sluts."

Li Yao said to himself, "You said there's Celestial Saintess over there? And Succubus or something. Sounds pretty powerful. Send me a message?"

Lin Xiaowei fell into deep thought.

The Dark Flame Shadow Demon she prepared was a legendary monster, possessing attributes such as darkness, shadow, undead, and mutated fire. It was considered a top-tier existence in the Great Ruins of the Northwest, and even Legendary Mage would find it quite troublesome to deal with when it reached its full potential. She had spent a long time planning to retrieve it from her teacher's treasure vault.

But Li Yao, that bastard, is only thinking about big-breasted, slim-waisted, curvy females? Fuck you!

I'll kill you!

Lin Xiaowei felt the veins on her forehead were about to pop out. She pulled out her notebook again and added a sentence after the previous one: Stop rubbing it, just bury him in the ground. Li Yao is hopeless.

Li Yao wanted to say something, but Lin Xiaowei coldly retorted, "Get lost! There's only one, take it or leave it!"

Okay,

Let's go with this one.

He sensed that Lin Xiaowei seemed a little angry.

However, he didn't want a female creature to do anything naughty; he just wanted to put her in the tavern to attract customers.

Using otherworldly beings as maids sounds incredibly sophisticated, doesn't it?

Business will definitely be better than it is now! Especially for Succubus! Aren't they better than Night Elf and the like? Human Succubus are genuinely beautiful, while Night Elf are at best goddesses after makeup.

Li Yao pursed his lips, offering no explanation.

At this point, girls won't listen to explanations. If you try to explain, they'll just stubbornly refuse to listen.

So Li Yao turned around and went to the altar. According to Lin Xiaowei's request, he inlaid fifteen high-quality Magic Gem and then activated the Summoning Altar... The abundant spiritual energy in the Magic Gem was quickly consumed. A burst of spiritual light burst out above the obsidian altar. When the spiritual light dissipated, Li Yao looked at the dull magic stones on the altar and felt empty inside.

In the center of the obsidian altar,

A walnut box lay quietly inside.

Li Yao picked up the box from the altar, opened it, and found a stack of instructions written in Chinese characters and a black gem the size of a duck egg inside.

This gemstone is extremely hard, with a smooth surface. Upon closer inspection, it resembles a translucent preserved egg. The interior is filled with dark red patterns that flow slowly like molten lava, and it even feels slightly warm to the touch.

This is the familiar? An egg?

Li Yao took out his phone and texted Lin Xiaowei: "What do you mean by throwing an egg at me?"

"Say something!"

However, Lin Xiaowei's profile picture has turned gray.

She went offline.

—Dad Father Lin didn't want to talk to you anymore, so he went offline and threw an egg at you.

Li Yao pursed his lips and took the paper out of the box.

The opening lines are a few bold, wildly written characters: Li Yao is a bastard!

Li Yao frowned.

So you just sent me an egg? He continued reading and gained a basic understanding of the egg in his hand: this egg was the Life Core of a powerful creature called "Dark Flame Shadow Demon". This monster had once ravaged a place called the Great Ruins in that world. Later, it was captured by Lin Xiaowei's teacher, whose body was destroyed and whose Life Core was extracted and refined into a familiar.

Now, all Li Yao needs to do is extract his spiritual essence, refine it into his own unique mage seal, and embed it into the restriction core within his Life Core to activate the Life Core and awaken the restricted monster from its slumber.

It's very simple.

Li Yao has been promoted to Formal Mage; he's no longer a novice.

So he quickly drew out a wisp of his spiritual essence, thought for a moment, and that wisp of spiritual essence transformed into a spinning Tai Chi ball at his fingertips—in fact, he initially wanted to use the hammer and sickle emblem as his Secret Magic Imprint, but he was afraid that the pattern was too domineering, and the vast heavenly might contained within it might directly kill the monster... so he decided not to do anything reckless.

Ultimately, he chose the imprint of simple Eastern philosophy as the Secret Magic Imprint.

The endlessly spinning Tai Chi ball, connected end to end, rotates quietly at your fingertips, as if telling some profound truth.

It looks quite convincing.

But Li Yao didn't understand any of the logic, so he flicked his finger and the Tai Chi ball flew into the depths of his Life Core, transforming into a ray of starlight deep within the molten lava patterns.

Once the essence of the spirit is embedded in the core,

Suddenly, a tremendous rumbling sound came from Li Yao's mental world, as if a huge monster that had been silent for countless years was gradually awakening and breathing like thunder.

An intense pressure swept out.

It rampages wildly in Li Yao's mental world, crushing everything in its path.

A powerful and majestic voice resounded in Li Yao's mind. "You fucking think you're my master?"

Li Yao: "..."

The demonic runes in his soul vibrated slightly, crushing all the oppressive force. Li Yao, his face expressionless, pointed at the humanoid black smoke rising from his Life Core and said, "Speak properly!"

Monster: "So weak."

So weak?

Li Yao's face immediately darkened. "Who do you think you are!"

You mere familiar demon, who do you think you are?

The demon, oblivious to everything, floated in the sky and looked down at Li Yao, commanding, "Master, call me Demon Lord."
