Breaking the Contract

Name: Master-Servant Contract

Type: Blood Magic

Origin: Shurima

Creator: Unknown, rumored to be the Ascended Hylan.

Solution: Consciousness attack, blood replacement, purification array

Synopsis: The Master-Servant Contract is a type of control-based Blood Magic. A servant who signs the pact is essentially offering their soul to their master, unable to disobey orders or even entertain thoughts of betrayal. ♡👽 🍬🍬

I heard the female vampire Rovvi mention this kind of contract when we were besieging Vladimir. Later, LeBlanc added to it and told some stories about her past with Mordekaiser.

Unfortunately, she didn't tell me who helped break the contract, so I could only try the method provided on the Project Armor.

The first method is a mind attack.

I am no stranger to this kind of attack. When I was Harbinger, the Spiritual Power attacks I used were in the category of consciousness attacks. I also used Spiritual Power to shatter the contracts of Rovvi and others.

Asking the Harbinger of Ionia for help might be able to help LeBlanc, but I'm afraid I don't have that much influence, since the Harbinger are seen as messengers of the gods on earth by the Ionia.

LeBlanc thought it was unlikely, because she believed that ordinary Spiritual Power attacks wouldn't work, and Mordekaiser's contract was far more powerful than Vladimir's.

The second method is blood exchange.

The Master-Servant Contract is a form of Blood Magic, and the orthodox way to break it is through blood exchange.

Some people who practice Blood Magic can have the blood of others transferred into their own bodies, such as Vladimir.

This magic allows people to easily gain great power, and maintaining eternal youth is not difficult either.

In addition, blood exchange can eliminate one's own diseases and control, freeing one from the Master-Servant Contract.

LeBlanc does possess some Blood Magic, but she cannot bring herself to betray Mordekaiser, so I need to find someone else if she wants to use it in this way.

The third type is a purification array.

This method is the most feasible compared to the previous two, because the source database records all kinds of purification arrays, and I can set them up without LeBlanc's help.

The tricky part is that I don't know which purification array is more effective, so I have to try them one by one. Just then, I remembered that there's still a fierce battle going on outside!

"Could you please break the Cycle of Despair first? My friends are still fighting the undead outside!"

"Let them fight. Your friend is very strong. As long as I don't interfere, there's nothing to worry about."

"Then why not have them leave the battle and help out? That would increase our efficiency."

"No, this is more discreet. If I leave the Cycle of Despair, Mordekaiser will easily detect me, thus strengthening his control over me."

"Okay, let's give it a try!"

The Cycle of Despair is a magical space with abundant magic power. Even someone like me, who doesn't know much about magic, can manipulate it freely with the help of the Project Armor.

After trying for quite some time, I selected the most powerful and penetrating of the twelve purification arrays: the Liberator Array.

What's amazing is that this magic circle was also invented by Ascended, and by Nasus I know very well.

The process of breaking the contract was extremely painful, and this mental anguish was not lessened in the slightest by the fact that LeBlanc had lived for hundreds of years. As the purification array continued to deepen, her face became somewhat distorted.

I don't know how long this process lasted, but when most of the surrounding magic was depleted, LeBlanc's pain finally lessened. A short while later, the magic circle flickered a few times and then went out.

"So? Has the Master-Servant Contract been broken?"

"No, but my control has weakened significantly. I need to rest, otherwise my body won't be able to hold on."

"Aren't you immortal?"

"Immortality is contingent upon being bound by Mordekaiser; forcibly breaking the contract would put me in a very dangerous situation."

"Okay, so what's your current situation?"

"My mind is free now. After it recovers and undergoes another purification process, the Master-Servant Contract can be completely severed. Thank you."

LeBlanc thanked me and gave me a genuine smile; I knew she was now one of us.

"Are we friends now?"

"Of course, I will repay you in kind."

After saying this, she released herself from the Cycle of Despair, no longer needing to worry about Mordekaiser's control, and directly dispelled the Black Mist.

As the undead retreated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even the Project Warrior were somewhat exhausted after such a long battle.

Seeing LeBlanc's actions, they all knew that I had successfully persuaded her to join the organization fighting against Camille.

Yasuo stepped forward first. "Welcome to the Pale Lady!"

LeBlanc's response was cold. "Don't try to be nice to me. I just want to thank Ezreal. I'll leave when I feel I've done enough."

"Hmph, what an annoying guy." Katarina was still disgusted.

"The eldest daughter of the Dukao family, huh? Haha, I'm sorry I did some bad things to your family, but compared to the destruction you've caused Noxus, it's nothing."

"I was being controlled, and you're a complete bastard!"

"Alright, Katarina, enough said. Shouldn't our enemy be Camille?"

"Hmph, I'm going to find Darius."

Katarina left after speaking, and Fiora and Lucian officially set off for Demacia. We should unite all available forces for a counterattack.

Yasuo, Alanta, Zed, Yi, and Akali are all from Ionia, and the Wind Sword Sect, the Kinkou Order, the Wuju Swordsmanship School, and others to which they belong are quite influential. It would be a good time to mobilize them.

However, they weren't very confident before leaving, because Ionia are rarely willing to leave their homeland, so they could only try to persuade them.

Just moments ago it was a chaotic battlefield, but now everyone has left, leaving only LeBlanc and me in the vast underground palace.

"Finally, some peace and quiet. My Black Rose hasn't had a visitor for over two hundred years."

"Now you're free to interact with people as you please."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like getting involved in the excitement myself, I just enjoy watching it."

"Haha... You should hurry up and recover; I can set up a healing magic circle to help you."

"Okay, and tell me something interesting, like things I don't know about in another world."

"Nothing interesting, but there are a few people I'd like to ask you about..."

"Speak..."

In the previous world, LeBlanc was one of the people who helped Ryze, so I plan to ask her about it to see what role Ryze plays here.
