Lin Li did not hesitate for long. Ujfalusi's existence was a very troublesome matter in itself. He was a real Lich, and although his power had fallen from the Legendary-realm, he still retained his Legendary-level knowledge. Lin Li did not dare to take the risk of bringing him back to Roland City. The reason why he said that was merely to scare him. Even if Ujfalusi was really willing to surrender, Lin Li did not have the guts to do so. If he caused any trouble, he would be in deep trouble …
Fortunately, Lin Li had always been decisive in dealing with such matters. If he could not completely control it, he would simply eliminate it.
"As for you, Mr Ujfalusi …" Lin Li said slowly as he moved the silver flame in front of Ujfalusi.
In an instant, a dazzling light lit up the room, and almost everyone felt an unprecedented pressure under the Holy Aura. Ujfalusi, who was an Undead creature, let out a scream. "No … No … You can't do this to me … I can't die yet … I still have many things to do …"
"Why can't I do this to you?"
Ujfalusi's entire body trembled as the silver flame approached him. It was different from the fear he had feigned earlier. This time, Ujfalusi was really afraid. His senses as an Undead creature told him that the Holy Power contained in the silver flame was definitely enough to destroy him in an instant. Under the endless fear, Ujfalusi's mind completely broke down. "Don't kill me … Don't kill me … As long as you are willing to let me go … I swear … I swear on my soul fire that I will never hurt you … I can even … even become your servant!"
"Oh?" The silver flame that was about to land on Ujfalusi's body suddenly stopped.
"You can become my servant?" Lin Li had a doubtful look in his eyes. To be honest, Ujfalusi's words were very attractive to him. Ujfalusi was a real Lich, and his long life of 400 years had given him great power and profound knowledge. To anyone, he was a rare helper.
Just look at Norfeller …
In the past, be it in Jarrosus or Alanna, Lin Li had to do everything personally. Although that reduced the risks, it also brought Lin Li a lot of trouble. After the battle in the Demon Fall Valley, things became much simpler with Norfeller's help. Most of the time, Lin Li did not even need to do anything personally. He only needed to say a word, and Norfeller would bring him the results he wanted.
Moreover, Norfeller was only level-17, while Ujfalusi used to be a Lich above level-20. Even if he had fallen from the Legendary-realm, it was not a big deal. After all, it was only temporary. He had once reached the Legendary-realm, and he only needed to spend a little effort to regain his lost power!
Of course, the premise of all this was that Ujfalusi did not lie to him …
Otherwise, wouldn't getting a servant who could betray him at any time be asking for trouble?
"Alright, Ujfalusi, tell me what you think, I'm starting to get interested …"
"I … I can sign a Soul Contract with you." This time, Ujfalusi did not hesitate.
"Soul Contract?" Lin Li was slightly stunned. He actually did not know much about the various contracts between Undead creatures.
Fortunately, Norfeller walked over from behind, and whispered a few words into Lin Li's ear.
"The so-called Soul Contract is when an Undead creature splits its own soul fire, and gives a part of it to the contractor. Through this part of the soul fire, you can not only obtain a part of the Undead creature's knowledge and power, but also completely control its every move and even its life and death. In terms of binding power, the Soul Contract's binding power is second only to the blood oath you signed with me."
"That powerful?"
"Yes …"
After getting an affirmative answer from Norfeller, Lin Li smiled profitably. "Very good, very good. Ujfalusi, I'm very interested in this Soul Contract. Let's talk about the details now, shall we?"
"…" Ujfalusi glanced at this fella, and for a moment, he really had some doubts. Was this fella who was smiling like a street vendor really the powerhouse who controlled the terrifying Divine Power that could kill a Humerus Wyrm in an instant and break through the Humerus Domain?
Of course, despite his doubts, Ujfalusi did not dare to say much. What was the difference between provoking this fella now and committing suicide? If this fellow was unhappy and allowed that silver flame to descend, then he would immediately be turned into ashes.
In fact, Ujfalusi released his soul fire almost immediately. He could not wait any longer, and it was as if he was afraid that Lin Li would go back on his word.
Undead creatures were Undead creatures because they did not have souls. Everything they had, including their power, knowledge, and memories, came from that bit of soul fire that they were born with. As long as the soul fire was not extinguished, the life of an Undead creature would be eternal.
And now, what Ujfalusi wanted to hand over was his power, knowledge, and memories …
Following the low and hoarse chanting, a bit of phosphorescence gradually burned in Ujfalusi's skull. Through the gaps between the bones, Lin Li could clearly see that the phosphorescence was getting brighter and brighter. Every time the phosphorescence flickered, it seemed to bring Ujfalusi great pain. That heavy breathing and moaning sounded like a beast in despair …
After a heart-wrenching scream, a ball of flame suddenly leaped out of the skull.
All of a sudden, a powerful death aura filled the entire room. Even though the silver flames on Lin Li's fingertips were dancing, and even though the Holy Aura had filled the entire world, the death aura emitted from the phosphorescence was like a boulder that pressed down on everyone, making them breathless.
"Mighty mage, your servant, Ujfalusi, offers his loyalty to you …" After the soul fire was completely separated, Ujfalusi's voice became extremely weak. If Lin Li had not listened carefully, he would not have been able to hear what he was saying.
The soul fire floated quietly in the air, and time seemed to have stopped. Faced with this strange scene, even Lin Li could not help but be stunned. At this moment, he stood there motionlessly, staring at the burning phosphorescence with a dull gaze. At this moment, perhaps only Lin Li himself knew that everything was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. Almost at the instant that the phosphorescence leaped out of Ujfalusi's skull, Lin Li felt his mental strength suddenly boiling. That feeling was like lava gushing out of a volcano. His already terrifyingly strong mental strength surged out almost instantly. It was like a wild wolf that had been starving for dozens of days suddenly saw fresh meat, and wrapped itself tightly around the phosphorescence …
Then, Lin Li felt countless images and sounds slowly seeping out of the phosphorescence. His mental strength and the phosphorescence were entangled tightly, and the images and sounds gradually melted in this entanglement, and finally became Lin Li's own memories. At this moment, Lin Li had completely forgotten everything around him, and was completely immersed in this strange state. Everything in the world seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and there was only one thought left in his blank mind — to desperately absorb the knowledge, power, and memories contained in the soul fire …
Time passed by, and no one knew how long it had been until a loud "boom" rang in Lin Li's ears. That feeling was as though he was walking in endless darkness, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of him. Under that dazzling light, Lin Li seemed to have grabbed onto something. In a split second, Lin Li saw countless colors flash before his eyes, and heard countless sounds repeatedly reverberating in his ears. When everything disappeared, and the world returned to silence, Lin Li knew that he had become completely different …
Lin Li knew that this bit of soul fire did not only bring him Ujfalusi's knowledge and memories, but also the purest power. When this power completely merged with his mental strength, it was very likely that he would directly break through to level-17. Oh, no, that's not right. The changes at level-17 would not be so obvious. It should be the peak of level-17, or … level-18 directly!
"Ujfalusi, I accept your loyalty." Lin Li closed his eyes, and carefully felt the earth-shattering changes in his body. It was not until everything was settled that he slowly opened his eyes, and extinguished the silver flame on his fingertip.
As the remaining power of the debris of the stars disappeared, the Divine Power in the air also dissipated like smoke. However, to Lin Li now, this bit of Divine Power was no longer important. Ujfalusi's soul fire was burning in his body, and through this bit of soul fire, Lin Li could control Ujfalusi's life and death at will.
"Mage Felic, we found Miss Yvonne's brother …"
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. Lin Li had just opened his eyes when he saw Sienna and a few other Adventurers pushing the door open and entering. Behind them was a youth of about 16 or 17 years of age. He had a head of soft blonde hair, and a slightly feminine face. From his appearance, this youth did indeed look very similar to Yvonne.
