If you make a pact with a demon, the demon will strictly abide by the terms of the pact. If a human breaks the pact, the demon will not be angry; on the contrary, it will be very happy.

Breaking contracts demonstrates human greed and a lack of integrity, making it more interesting for demons to toy with and manipulate such human souls.

If the demon deems the soul of the person who made the contract worth nurturing, it will secretly amplify the desires within the person's heart until the soul becomes incredibly delicious. Only then will the demon descend and feast upon the soul of the person who made the contract.

There are many kinds of demons, all kinds of demons.

The demons who made a demonic pact with Andre include the Blood Moon Devil. The Blood Moon Devil is entirely blood-red, with claws resembling a crescent moon, and it enjoys feeding on blood and souls.

On the Blood Moon Night, the Blood Moon Devil will absorb the Blood Moon Qi, and hideous bone spurs will grow on its body.

This kind of demon is both greedy and rational, enjoying watching its prey struggle in despair.

The strength of a mid-level Blood Moon Devil might be slightly stronger than that of Extraordinary Person of the [Golden Wheel] level in the human world.

If Golden Wheel- level transcendent being hasn't experienced cruel despair, they might be exploited and tortured to death by the Blood Moon Devil Blood Moon Devil during a battle.

The Blood Moon Devil is not the only demon. In battle, all demons like to treat their opponents as prey, then attack their minds, using words and various unpredictable abilities to slowly drive their opponents into despair and madness. Therefore, under normal circumstances, do not provoke demons, and even less should you think of breaking the pact you have made with a demon.

Power or anything else obtained from demons comes at a price.

It's not wrong for the major temples in the human world to issue warrants for humans who have made pacts with demons.

Sometimes, what temples fear is not demons, but humans who have made pacts with demons and suddenly gained all sorts of strange powers.

Andre was his student, which is why he said to the paladins of the Valkyrie Temple that the Valkyrie Temple was not qualified to judge Andre.

If it were anyone else, they would be eager for the temple to arrest all those dangerous individuals who had made pacts with demons and give them a proper trial. "Teacher, when you see the demon who made a pact with me later, could you please not kill him? After all, I'm only alive now because of the power I gained from him. That demon has never violated the terms of the pact; he just occasionally appears around me, trying to manipulate me with words, amplifying the hatred and self-loathing in my heart. Please don't kill him; just let him voluntarily break the pact with me, okay, Teacher?"

"."

Does my student think of the devil as an angel?

This fool has made a pact with a demon and even forged a friendship with it. He probably doesn't know that the demon he made the pact with has been using some inexplicable ability to lick and devour parts of his soul. Perhaps one day, the demon will decide that the fool's soul has become a delicious feast and will devour it whole. "Let's see. If he obediently breaks the pact with you, I won't make things difficult for him. He can go back the way he came."

If he doesn't behave, I'll see if I can make him your familiar.

Demons can make contracts with humans, so they can also become human familiars.

However, in the human world, no summoning-type source energy mage dares to summon a demon and sign a familiar contract with it.

If the summoned demon is too powerful, it may turn into the demon's familiar.

They become familiars of demons, summoned to the abyss, and die soon after.

Demons are warlike, and battles often break out among their own kind. If they contract an interesting familiar, they will use the familiar to wager on a duel. As for whether a human familiar and a demon summoner can fall in love, don't be naive.

Unless a human familiar becomes powerful enough to pique the interest of a demon summoner, falling in love with a familiar is just a game.

Demons are not human.

How do you sign a familiar contract again?

It's been too long, I need to think back a bit. Back when he was studying in the Abyss, he learned how to sign a familiar contract. I think he graduated from the Demon Academy with the third-best grades in his class.

"You should first contact the demon you made a contract with; it would be even better if you could trick him into coming over."

"Okay. Hey teacher, where are you going?"

"I'm going to purchase some special venom, which can be extracted and used in medicine."

"Oh."

Andre watched as his teacher walked toward those humans, who seemed to be members of the guild called Beauty Scorpion.

The members of that guild were all scorpion people with scorpion tails on their backs, and they were highly venomous.

Wait, does the teacher intend to take away the scorpion tails of those Scorpion-Human Race girls?

Isn't that too cruel? Cutting off their scorpion tails would at least halve their fighting power.

Lance approached the members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild.

The golden ghost soldiers who were surrounding the members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild bowed to Lance upon seeing Lance, saying, "Lord Lance."

"You've worked hard. Once I'm done with things here, I'll use all the money I've earned over the years to treat you to a big meal so you can have some good nourishment."

"Lord Lance, do you still remember us?"

"I remember, the sheriff under my command."

Lance chuckled and patted the shoulders of a few Golden Ghost Soldiers before looking at the members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild.

The girls of the Scorpion-Human Race are quite pretty, but they are destined to be widows.

There's no way around it; if you're not tough enough, you'll die quickly if you date Scorpion-Human Race girl.

Even if someone is incredibly resilient, they might still lose their life during marriage and sexual intercourse.

When the Scorpion-Human Race Girls can't help themselves, they like to sting people with their scorpion tails.

If they can control themselves from injecting venom, that's fine. But if they can't, their husbands are likely to die because of the scorpion tails on their backs. This makes it so that no human dares to date Scorpion-Human Race girl.

Dating them is like gambling with your life.

Not everyone is unable to date Scorpion-Human Race girls; some Extraordinary Person with high poison resistance can still date Scorpion-Human Race.

Besides humans, other intelligent beings with high poison resistance can also fall in love with Scorpion-Human Race girls.

Before Dragon Island disappeared, did any dragons and Scorpion-Human Race girls fall in love? Dragons shouldn't be afraid of being stung by Scorpion-Human Race ' tails. The members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild felt a little uneasy under Lance's Lance, because he was staring at the scorpion tails behind them. Some of the bolder and more fiery scorpion girls even openly showed their scorpion tails to Lance.

She wanted to attract Lance.

The Lord Lance, was a powerful Extraordinary Person. If they could date or marry someone like him, they wouldn't have to worry about becoming widows. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Lord Lance."

"Let's make a deal. I can let you leave here safely, but you need to leave something behind."

A woman from the Beauty Scorpion Guild with a hot figure and a fiery red scorpion tattooed on her collarbone stepped forward and stood in front of Lance. She was the captain of the Fire Scorpion Squad of the Beauty Scorpion Guild and was in charge of this bounty mission.

Faced with this mysterious and powerful figure who disregarded the Valkyrie and even dared to claim that the Valkyrie owed him money in front of the Temple Paladins, the members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild could not afford to offend him.

"My name is Bei Lu, Lord Lance. What would you like us to leave behind?"

Lance smiled and took out a sealed glass jar from the Diamond Cutter: "I want you to inject some venom into this jar with your scorpion tails. Your Scorpion-Human Race's venom is somewhat attractive to me. I want to study it and see if your venom can be used as medicine."

"???"

Do you want to collect the venom from the scorpion tails of the Scorpion-Human Race?

What kind of strange quirk is this?

She had assumed that Lord Lance had taken a liking to one of their Beauty Scorpion Guild members and wanted to keep her there. The reason she had stepped forward was to see if she could suffer in place of the guild members. However, she was inexplicably disappointed that Lord Lance only wanted to collect the venom from their scorpion tails.

"Lord Lance, you merely want to collect some venom?"

"Right."

"No other ideas?"

"???" Lance asked, puzzled. "Should I have other ideas?"

Bei Lu stared into Lance's eyes for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. Lord Lance's conditions are very friendly to us."

"Does the fact that your scorpion tails are different colors mean that your scorpion venom comes in different varieties?"

"Right."

"Understood."

Lance uncorked the glass bottle and walked behind Bei Lu. Without him saying a word, Bei Lu pointed her scorpion tail at the bottle in his hand. "Lord Lance, please hold my scorpion tail to prevent the venom from splashing out."

Lance grabbed Bei Lu's red scorpion tail with his hand.

With her scorpion tail caught, Bei Lu's face showed a strange expression.

Smooth and delicate, yet powerful.

"That's fine."

Bei Lu was detoxifying, and she had a strange feeling. She didn't feel this way when she used the scorpion's tail as a weapon, but now she was being detoxified by the mysterious and powerful Lord Lance. There was an indescribable strange feeling. The blood-red venom looked somewhat bright in color. It didn't have an unpleasant smell or any strange fragrance; it was colored but odorless.

"What kind of damage can your scorpion venom inflict on your enemies?"

"Targeting the mind and hallucinogenic, it can evoke the deepest fears in the enemy's heart."

That's all?

"That's all I know. As for any other side effects, I don't know. I haven't seriously studied the effects of my venom."

Seeing that Bei Lu's scorpion tail no longer contained venom, Lance held Bei Lu's scorpion tail in front of his eyes, subconsciously wanting to taste Bei Lu's venom. Fortunately, he restrained himself, as tasting poison in front of so many people might make him appear abnormal to everyone present.

The effects of the venom... you'll have to figure it out for yourself when you get home.

Some pharmacists' behaviors may seem abnormal, but in reality, a true pharmacist will personally taste herbs, poisonous plants, or venoms with unknown effects.

Only by tasting them yourself can you more accurately know the various medicinal effects of herbs, poisonous plants, and venoms.

He had the Bronze Guild members test the medicine. Only after confirming that the extraordinary potion would not be fatal and that the side effects were within a controllable range would the Bronze Guild members drink it.

After collecting the venom from Bei Lu's scorpion tail, Lance took out several more bottles to collect the venom from the scorpion tails of other members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild.

If you encounter scorpions with the same tail color, collect their venom in the same bottle.

Take another bottle if it's different.

"Lord Lance, where do you live? If you like my scorpion venom, I can deliver it to your door from time to time."

"."

Some members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild, seeing that the mysterious and powerful Lord Lance was not as difficult to deal with as they had imagined, took the initiative to try and see if they could have a story with Lord Lance.

As a result, Lord Lance said, "No need for delivery, it's too much trouble. If you don't mind, I can cut off your scorpion tail and graft it onto those little guys in the Bronze Guild."

The girls from the Beauty Scorpion Guild and the members of the Bronze Guild were all frightened by Lance's words and dared not utter any more nonsense.

Collect the venom from the scorpion tails of the Beauty Scorpion Guild members.

Lance approached the members of the Violent Bear Guild. "There's nothing about you that appeals to me. Before you leave, clean up the trash outside the courtyard and fix the potholes in the road. Only after you've done that can you leave. Any objections?"

No, no, no.

The members of the Violent Bear Guild smiled obsequiously. How could they dare to object? This Lord Lance before them was a mysterious and powerful figure who had even silenced the paladins. They couldn't afford to offend him, not to mention that Lord Lance was also the teacher of King Andre.

Rumble—

Thunder suddenly roared in the dim underground world, and flashes of blood-red lightning occasionally streaked across the void.

The crimson mist condensed into clouds above the Golden Manor, and amidst the lightning and thunder, a hideous phantom appeared within the crimson clouds.

The phantom had two curved horns on its head, a tall stature, and when it raised its hands, you could see its sharp claws that resembled a crescent moon.

This unknown creature hasn't even officially appeared yet, and the sense of oppression is already so strong. What will happen when its true form officially descends upon this underground world?

Demon!

This unknown creature might be the legendary demon, a student of Lord Lance, the same one who sold his soul to King Andre and made a pact with the demon. Now the demon is about to descend, and it's uncertain whether Lord Lance can suppress it. The demon's aura is too strong. "Andre, the one who made a pact with me, the taste of your soul is enough to be my [feast]. This time you summoned me, it seems you are ready to give your soul to me."

A pair of blood-red claws tore through the crimson clouds, revealing a demon with eyes like copper bells, a red face and fangs, blood-red bone spurs on its arms and back, and black-red wings.

"Hey, Andre, I didn't expect you to prepare so many offerings for me this time. Considering your thoughtfulness, I didn't even expect you to prepare a tender and delicious little dragon cub for me. Andre, prepare the steamer, I'm going to steam this tender and delicious little dragon cub!"

"."

There's no hope, no hope, just wait to die.
