Lance? This Name Carries an Ominous Power

Lance is protective of his own.

I had met Lance a few times before, and my understanding of him was limited to his ability to draw, his boldness, his madness, and that he was the young master of Blue Moon Perfume.

Upon seeing him again today, he learned that Lance was not the young master of Blue Moon Perfume, but the founder of Blue Moon Perfume, and had lived much longer than he had imagined.

Andre was an ancient person from more than two thousand years ago, while Lance was actually Andre's teacher, an old monster who had lived for two thousand years.

For their students to dare to confront the Valkyrie Temple directly, and even to provoke them, they might even dare to silence the Valkyrie Temple knights if necessary.

A demon from another realm said he wanted to steam his pet Little Dragon Highness, and as a result, the demon got his wish and entered the iron pot. He might even have to lie in the steamer once more. He's very protective of his own.

Extremely protective of their own.

"Lord Steven, does Lance really intend to steam and eat that demon?"

"No, he may be cruel, but he would never do something like steaming and eating a demon. He doesn't smell of blood or have any malevolent aura."

Throwing the demon into an iron pot to boil it was merely a way to vent anger and make the demon suffer, a way to show the demon that he could be more evil than the demon.

Besides, given a demon's power, it wouldn't be boiled to death by scalding water, nor would it be steamed to death. Just wait and see. That demon named Ulysses will ultimately only become Andre's familiar.

Steven didn't believe Lance would actually do something like eat a demon to satisfy his craving.

"Let's go, there's no need to look anymore. This demon's fate is already in Lance's hands. No matter how much he tries to cause trouble, he can only obediently become Andre's familiar in the end."

Steven glanced at Lance below, then turned and left.

Seeing this, the other knights of the Valkyrie Temple also left. The Little Dragon Highness with the Amethyst Turtle Shell on his head could not be treated as an ordinary little dragon.

It's best to be more polite when you see her in the future; behind her stands an old monster whom even demons and paladins dare not offend.

Golden Courtyard, Little Dragon Highness shell on his head, was adding firewood to the Furnace Fire, occasionally fanning it with a Furnace Fire.

The wicked demon still wanted to eat her, but now, the evil dragon has thrown her into a pot. When the water temperature rises, he wakes up from his coma and finds himself lying in an iron pot, which terrifies him.

Louis, Bazel, Dalton circled the iron pot; in all their lives, this was the first time they had ever seen the legendary demon.

Horrifying legends about demons have been circulating in the human world for a long time.

There are actually very few humans who have ever seen a demon.

However, when demons descend upon the human world, they always cause terrible turmoil. Sometimes, only the intervention of the temple can suppress the demons.

"The bone spurs on this demon's back look pretty hard, Old Man Lance. Won't they puncture your iron pot?"

Louis flicked the crimson bone spikes on the back of the Blood Moon Devil Ulysses a few times, and clicked his tongue in amazement. This demon was still alive. If it were dead, he could cut off a few bone spikes and see if they could be made into knives.

"Hey? Grandpa? What are you doing? No... you want the devil's horns too?"

"What do you know? Demon horns are a medicinal ingredient that can be used in medicine. These two horns growing on his head are of no use to him, so they might as well become my medicinal ingredient."

Lance stared at the demon horns on Ulysses's head for a while, then beckoned to his dragon cub. "Dragon cub, don't you have a saw? Come on, saw off these two horns from the demon's head."

"My saw is used to saw gold."

"Why saw through the gold? If you want something in the future, just ask Andre. Now, saw through these two demon horns."

"Won't it spray blood all over me?"

"I told you to saw off his demon horns, not his head. As long as you don't saw right up to his scalp and it doesn't bleed, that's fine. Give me the saw, I'll do it."

The powder that appears when sawing off the demon's horns shouldn't be wasted either. We should collect it, go back and study it, and see if we can develop a new extraordinary potion.

The baby dragon Lucia took a saw from her Lucky Coin and handed it to the evil dragon. "Wouldn't it be faster to just slice it off with a greatsword?"

"You don't understand that you can't treat medicinal herbs so roughly. When picking them, you should be gentle and try to make the herbs feel like you will take care of them."

"???"

Is there really such a saying?

So sawing off the demon's horns is gentle? "You're sawing so slowly, won't that scare it?"

"Won't."

"Then using a greatsword shouldn't scare it."

"If we use a greatsword, what if this demon wakes up along the way and moves its head? If we're lucky, its whole head will be gone; if we're not lucky enough, half its head will be gone."

Just imagine how bloody that scene would be! A saw is different; it can precisely saw off the demon's horns. Even if your hand shakes a little along the way, at most the demon's head will be scratched and bleed a bit, but there won't be any fatal damage.

I also plan to have him sign a familiar contract with Andre.

"I don't want one," Andre, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up. "I don't want a hornless demon, it's too ugly."

"???"

"Even the mid-level demons haven't complained about you yet, and you're already complaining about them?"

Lance took the saw from the dragon cub and began sawing the demon horn, which could indeed be used for medicine.

Without the scalp saw attached to the demon Ulysses, leaving him with roots, he can grow two new demon horns after a few years, a dozen years, or even decades.

The members of the Violent Bear Guild trembled at the sight. It was terrifying; even demons who came here had to leave behind a pair of demon horns. The members of the Beauty Scorpion Guild couldn't leave behind only venom. While cleaning up the trash Golden City and repairing the roads, they had to do their best, otherwise they feared that Lord Lance might say, "They have something that can be used in medicine," and then cut something off them. The members of the Scorpion Guild were also still shaken. Luckily, Lord Lance wanted only venom; if he had said their scorpion tails could be used in medicine, the consequences... just thinking about it sent chills down their spines.

"Andre, release the other members of the Bounty Guild. They're useless to you."

"Fine, they betrayed you, teacher."

"I have no memory of them."

"Then I'll listen to you, teacher."

Andre waved to one of the Golden War General, who then took the Golden War General and left. The guild members were lucky; they encountered Lord Lance.

If we hadn't met Lord Lance today, they would have become cannon fodder during the attack on Hell.

The sawing sound was rhythmic and sharp.

Before long, the demon Ulysses lost one of his demon horns. Lance took out a brush and carefully brushed the powder into a clean glass medicine bottle.

These are precious medicinal materials that cannot be wasted; Demon Horns are extremely rare and hard to come by.

After carefully collecting the demon horn he had cut off, Lance began sawing off another demon horn. Practice makes perfect, and this time he easily sawed it off.

The Blood Moon Devil, originally a ferocious and terrifying red-faced, fanged creature, lost its demonic horns, which diminished its menacing appearance, making it somewhat ugly and cute. The demon Ulysses woke up before the water in the iron pot boiled.

When he came to his senses, his eyes were glazed and blank for a while before they finally focused. Images gradually appeared in his blank mind, and he slowly recalled what had happened before.

He was summoned by Andre, who wanted to steam a tender and delicious little dragon. A human provoked him. He wanted to show that human the ferocity and power of demons. Then he learned about the ferocity and power of that human and wondered where he was.

Oh, in the water. In the pot. In the pot? Blood Moon Devil Ulysses roared in fury. Who dared to humiliate him like this?! Ah!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch—

My whole body aches, my flesh and bones ache!!!

"He's awake! He's awake! The demon in Lance's pot has awakened!!!"

Seeing the demon in the pot awaken, the young dragon dropped the firewood in her hand and ran to Lance's side. She felt safe standing next to the evil dragon when there was danger.

"Human, how dare you humiliate me like this?!"

Lance took out scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine from the Diamond Cutter, sat down opposite Blood Moon Devil Ulysses, and began to peel garlic. "So demons can also be impotent and furious. I've put them all in the pot. You can temporarily abandon the sense of superiority that belongs to demons."

"Don't worry, there are no other demons here. Giving in won't affect your image much. Of course, if you remain stubborn and continue your incompetent rage, you might become a meal for my dragon cub."

"???"

The young dragon glared, determined that she would rather starve to death than eat a single bite of demon flesh!

And could the evil dragon please stop touching the turtle shell on her head all the time?

"I've been touching it so much it's almost worn smooth. Human, do you think this will scare me? I'm a demon, I wasn't raised to be scared."

"Whether it's meant to scare you or not, just touch the top of your head and you'll know."

Blood Moon Devil Ulysses raised his blood-red claws and touched the top of his head. Finding nothing amiss, he touched it a few more times before his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Where are the horns?

Where did those two curved demon horns on his head go? Lance took out a blood-red demon horn from the Diamond Cutter and waved it at Ulysses a few times. "Don't bother looking for it, it's here with me. Demon horns can be used as medicine for me, so I'll saw them off for you first."

If you don't back down, I'm going to saw off those bone spurs on your back. After that, you can make them into ribs or barbecue.

Your claws are quite good; they can be made into daggers and short swords. Your large eyeballs can be used as bait. Your fangs, after processing, can be made into pendants. The teeth of a mid-level demon are worth as much as jade; they are quite valuable.

"The skull, after being refined, can be made into a dark artifact; the bones on the body, after polishing and grinding, can be used as clubs."

Lance threw the broken garlic into the iron pot. He held the absolute advantage, and it didn't matter whether the Blood Moon Devil believed he would turn him into a delicacy.

If you don't believe me.

They'll fish them out of the iron pot and beat them up again.

If one meal isn't enough, then beat them up a few more times.

Blood Moon Devil Ulysses gritted his teeth. Damn humans, they actually sawed off his demon horns!

Hateful!!!

Having lost his demon horns and returned to the abyss, how can he possibly pursue his inner demons now?!

"Human, what exactly do you want?!"

"It's simple, I want you to be one of us."

"Our own people?" Blood Moon Devil Ulysses grinned. "I dare to accept you and treat you as my companions. Do you dare to accept me and treat me as your companions?"

"Andre dares, I want you to become Andre's familiar."

"???"

They actually want him to become Andre's familiar? Andre is only alive because of him. And this kind of human wants to be his master?

It's more like Andre is his familiar.

"I refuse."

"Alright, it seems I can't scare you. In that case, I won't waste any more words with you. If you don't want to become Andre's familiar, then become Andre's puppet."

Creating a puppet isn't that difficult. All I need to do is erase your consciousness, leaving only your fighting instincts. After your consciousness disappears, I can barely accept making you acknowledge Andre as your master."

Lance's right hand was aimed at the Blood Moon Devil Ulysses.

"Soul Capture".

The demon soul of Blood Moon Devil Ulysses floated out from the top of his head, with more than half inside his body and a small part appearing in the air.

Ulysses realized that his demon soul had been extracted from his body. He was shocked; this damned human could actually Soul Capture.

If one can Soul Capture, then one may possess the means to erase the consciousness of a soul!

Once the consciousness within the soul is erased, becoming a puppet is not far off. "Human... you're serious!!!"

Ulysses ' Demon Soul Roars.

"Last chance: to become Andre's familiar, or his puppet?"

"Familiar! I am willing to be Andre's familiar!"

The moment he made his choice, the terrifying suction that had been trying to pull his demonic soul out of his body vanished instantly, and his demonic soul returned to his body.

Ulysses, who had his head tilted to one side inside the iron pot, gasped for breath, realizing he was alive again.

Fear flashed in Ulysses' blood-red eyes. The moment his demon soul left his body, his intuition told him that if he didn't make a choice, that human might really erase the consciousness in his demon soul and turn him into a puppet.

This guy is definitely not a good person in the human world.

It's very likely that he's a deeply hidden villain! "Go and break the previous contract with Andre and sign a new familiar contract. Don't worry, given Andre's future status, he probably won't Familiar Summoning so easily."

"You are Andre's teacher from more than two thousand years ago?"

"Right."

"No wonder he's so strong, he's an old monster who's lived for over two thousand years."

Blood Moon Devil Ulysses got up and walked out of the iron pot. He came to Andre and silently chanted a spell. When the last spell fell, dense demonic spells flew out from Andre's body and entered Ulysses' body.

"Andre, you're already a humanoid demon. To be your familiar is a pipe dream. But I can sign Life Sharing Contract with you."

Without giving Andre a chance to refuse, Ulysses directly signed Life Sharing Contract with Andre.

From this day forward, if he dies, Andre will die with him.

Similarly, with Andre dead, he too could not live.

Making a mid-ranking Blood Moon Devil your familiar? What a joke!

Do you really think he's afraid of death?

If that human hadn't been referring to Andre, but to another human, he would rather have his consciousness erased and be turned into a puppet than become a human's familiar.

He could accept Andre's words. After all, they had been together for over two thousand years. Even in the Abyss, because of the contract, he could still sense some of the guy's thoughts.

"Your teacher's name is unknown. I advise you to sever ties with him as soon as possible."
