Chapter 167: Contract

Two days later, in the depths of the Dark Cloud Forest.

Standing under a big tree, Kayla raised his head and looked at the dark cloud floating high in the sky. He asked in disbelief, “Is, is this really alive? Heath, is this dark cloud really a living creature?”

Heath said, “This is the definition of us Wizards.”

Kayla pursed his lips. “The definition of you Wizards is really strange.”

After a pause, he asked, “Then how should we help you? With a bow and arrow? But at such a height, even the best archer in the Rodin Kingdom wouldn’t be able to hook it.”

Heath said, “Just stay far away and protect yourself.”

The main purpose of having Kayla and the others follow him was to be a guide and complete the chores of setting up camp and cooking. Heath didn’t count on their help in combat.

Heath did not waste any words. He cast a short spell and the flying spell was cast.

Hula!

A gust of strong wind suddenly swept over from all directions. It lifted Heath up slowly from the ground and flew into the sky.

Kayla and the other Knights opened their mouths wide when they saw this scene.

Kayla said in surprise, “This guy… This guy… This guy is really…”

It was not until this moment that he truly realized that he was different from Heath. This former good friend of his was already in a different domain from him.

A domain that mortals could not enter.

…

The flight spell carried Heath all the way up and soon arrived in the sky about a thousand meters above the ground. There was a light gray cloud floating there, with a radius of about a hundred meters.

As Heath approached, the cloud immediately underwent a drastic change.

The light gray quickly became darker and darker, and the entire dark cloud began to churn violently. It quickly shrank inside, as if a storm was coming.

Then, a voice came from the Dark Cloud Beast. “Strange… Wizard… Stop… If you don’t want to start a war…”

Heath stopped in front of the Dark Cloud Beast.

The Dark Cloud Beast asked, “Explain… your purpose…”

Heath went straight to the point, “My Wizard tower needs a guardian. I hope you can move there. We can provide you with more elements, and you can grow faster there.”

The Dark Cloud Beast refused. “Xavier… has no master… Xavier is… is a free Dark Cloud…”

Heath said coldly, “I’m not discussing with you, I’m ordering you!”

The gray clouds in the sky began to churn violently, and numerous densely packed silver snakes emerged from the black clouds.

It screamed, “Xavier… does not accept… any threats… if… you… do not want to leave… then… fight with me… Xavier will defeat you!”

Heath said coldly, “Then come!”

Without saying anything else, he raised his finger and pointed at the Dark Cloud Beast.

With a bang, a cluster of flames instantly blossomed from his fingertip and quickly flew towards the dark cloud in the sky.

The dark cloud was like cotton. When the flame fell into it, it instantly spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, the entire dark cloud instantly burned up, becoming a veritable burning cloud.

“Ah!!!”

The Dark Cloud Beast let out an angry scream. “Wizard… you… you dare to offend Xavier… you have to pay the price!”

As it spoke, a bolt of lightning shot out from the cloud layer. With a crackling sound, it struck towards Heath who was in the sky.

Seeing that he was about to be struck by the lightning, Heath’s figure suddenly flashed and disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving only an afterimage in the air. It was the spell he had bought at the auction house, [Gale].

The lightning tore the afterimage into pieces and then heavily struck the ground. With a boom, a tree that could only be hugged by a few people was split in the middle, sparks flying everywhere.

Kayla and the others who were watching this scene were terrified.

Even if they had already hidden on a mountain in the distance, they were still afraid of such a terrifying supernatural force.

Kayla said, “Let’s, let’s go further.”

The battle in the sky continued.

Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and tore through the sky, continuously attacking Heath.

Heath relied on his spell [Gale] and his own strength to dodge left and right. If he really couldn’t avoid it, he would summon his Mimicry Shield to protect himself.

Although Wizard-grade demonized beasts could grow to Rank 2 at the most, the growth period was extremely long. For example, the demonized beast in front of him was only a Wizard-grade demonized beast, and it was also at the early stage of the Wizard realm. Its strength was on par with Heath.

If it was an ordinary Wizard, the demonized Beast Dark Cloud could still rely on its powerful innate ability to gain the upper hand, but it could not do so in front of Heath.

As a Wizard, Heath’s accumulation of knowledge in spells was far greater than that of an ordinary Wizard. For Wizards, knowledge was equal to power, and the corresponding power that Heath could use was greater than that of an ordinary Wizard.

Especially after he had comprehended the power of the law last time, Heath’s mastery of spells had already jumped to a whole new level.

Their strength was evenly matched, but Heath could use more power, so this battle naturally didn’t have much suspense.

The lightning that came down from the demonized Dark Cloud Beast was all dodged and blocked by Heath. On the other hand, the attack that Heath used, the demonized Dark Cloud Beast did not have any effective defensive measures, and it basically took the attack head-on.

In his attacks, Heath had specially incorporated the element counter attribute that he had learned from the law. He had used all the elements that were arranged and combined to defend against the weaknesses of the Dark Cloud Beast. Each attack could bring more damage.

Fire, frost, poison.

After rounds of attacks, the Dark Cloud Beast was soon at the end of its path.

“Stop… Stop… Sir Wizard… Xavier… Xavier… Xavier admits defeat…”

Heath’s heart voiced his disdain. ‘Couldn’t it have ended like this earlier?’

‘What a cheap person.’

The Dark Cloud Beast was famous among demonized creatures for bullying the good and fearing the evil. Being kind to it would only cause it to despise and disdain you. The only way to conquer it was to beat it up.

Heath said coldly, “Submit to me!”

A weak voice came from the Dark Cloud Beast. “Submit… Xavier is willing to submit… Great Wizard…”

Heath nodded and took out a scroll from his dimensional pocket.

This was a very huge scroll. It was about 1.5 meters tall, and its diameter was as thick as Heath’s thigh. It was like a big pillar.

It was a demonized contract scroll.

It was a scroll that was specially used to sign contracts with demonized creatures.

Heath casually put it down and the scroll floated in the air. He then gently drew on the scroll and runes lit up on the huge scroll. With a tearing sound, the scroll was slowly pulled open on both sides.

The scroll was filled with mysterious runes. In the middle of the scroll was a row of grids. Heath raised his right hand and with a bang, a ball of faint blue soul flame ignited in his palm.

He grabbed the ball of flame and pressed it on the scroll, leaving a spiritual mark in one of the squares.

Heath then pushed the scroll towards the Dark Cloud Beast. “It’s your turn.”

“Yes… Yes, Sir…”

As he spoke, the dark clouds churned, and then a bolt of lightning struck the scroll with a crackling sound, leaving the same symbol beside Heath’s mark.

When the two symbols were left behind, the runes that covered the top of the scroll lit up at the same time.

Then, a strange scene appeared…
