Why would anyone want to summon a demon?
That was because people had needs and desires. Whether it was for power or to maintain eternal youth, they often sought external help for things that they could not achieve. Thus, demon summoning was born.
Generally speaking, those who summoned demons were not good people. People with pure hearts would not think of seeking help from demons. Only those with dark hearts and evil natures would sell their souls to demons.
Lucius was such a person, and even Roy, a demon, hated him.
But it had to be said that demons needed such people because signing a contract with them was the guarantee that the demons of another world could stay.
Roy wanted to stay in this world and take a look, but he could not let Lucius do everything, so he could only use this method of deception to make Lucius change the terms of the transaction. Now, Roy somewhat understood why demons were always full of deception and lies in many religious legends. It was not that demons were naturally like this, but that demons could not do the same when encountering these greedy people!
Roy felt that Lucius should thank him. If Roy had not killed that little demon at the Gate of the Abyss and had chosen to respond to this summoning, then the one Lucius and the others would have summoned would have been that little demon. At that time, Lucius and the others would only offer pitiful amounts of blood and internal organs, not even willing to sell their souls, and only intending to offer a little loyalty as a sacrifice. Yet, they dared to make such an arrogant request for eternal life and world domination. That little demon, who dared to bare its teeth at Roy, would have torn them apart in a rage!
There was no doubt that even an imp was much stronger than ordinary humans. Killing Lucius and the others was as easy as blowing off dust. It was not uncommon to have a backlash after summoning a demon. Most demons were tyrannical and chaotic by nature. When a demon found that they could not reach a contract, they would choose to kill the summoner and take their soul, even if it meant being repelled and expelled by the power of the world. Therefore, when the summoner did not have the power to guard against the demon, rashly summoning a demon was a very dangerous thing to do.
Only Roy would have the patience to let Lucius change the contract.
In the Abyss of the Demon World, demons and devils were actually the same race. It was just that some demons were more intelligent and knew how to use means instead of blindly using violence to solve problems. They appeared more rational, so humans called them devils. Strictly speaking, Roy could also be called a devil.
When Lucius's wish was changed, the words on the demon contract naturally changed. The entire content of the contract was that Lucius would provide Roy with a hundred souls of any level, and in return, Roy would give him a hundred years of life. Under Roy's manipulation, there was no time limit. In other words, Roy could use this contract to resist the repulsion of the world and stay here until Lucius brought him a hundred souls according to the contract.
Roy even played a little word game. The contract stipulated that Lucius would have a hundred years of life, not an additional hundred years. Based on Lucius's age, even if he fulfilled the contract, Roy would only need to increase his lifespan by about sixty years!
Lucius could also see this demon contract. After all, it belonged to both parties. But because demon contracts were a manifestation of the power of the Gates of the Abyss, they were inherently biased toward demons. Although Lucius could see the demon contract, he did not recognize the demon language on it and was at a loss.
In the end, Roy stretched out a glittering fingernail, pointed at a blank spot on the contract, and let him sign his name. Only then did the signing of the contract complete.
Roy did not need to sign because his name was shown at the beginning of the demon contract, but it was not Roy's full demon name. Only the last byte of his true name was shown, which was' Osiris! '
The moment Lucius signed his name, the entire demon contract suddenly ignited with raging flames and burned to nothing. This meant that the contract had officially taken effect, and the feeling of rejection gradually disappeared from Roy's body.
What he had experienced today made Lucius nervous and excited, so much so that his fat face was covered in sweat and grease. In the flames, he looked at the burning demon contract with feverish eyes and muttered in a low voice, "It's really possible, it's really possible! I also signed a contract with a demon … Now, I finally don't have to fear that damn vampire! "
Lucius should have said this in his heart, but he said it out loud in his excitement. Roy naturally heard it. His heart stirred, and he lowered his head. "From what you're saying, others have also signed a contract with a demon? What do you mean by vampires? "
Lucius was startled by Roy's ferocious face that suddenly approached him. He unconsciously took two steps back and said in fear, "Y-yes, my Lord! I'm talking about Dracula, the vampire Count Dracula! According to the rumors in town, he was once the son of the Villelis family's ancestor. Four hundred years ago, he suddenly became a vampire, and it was said that he signed a contract with a demon that allowed him to obtain eternal life and power. "
Vampire Count Dracula??
Roy was stunned. What's going on?
Roy was bewildered, but his expression did not change. He said in a playful tone, "Oh? So, you wanted to obtain eternal life at first, but you also wanted to become a vampire? "
"No, no!" Lucius quickly shook his head. "Creatures like vampires are simply monsters. I don't want to become one! It's better to use my soul to exchange for lifespan! I don't want to be hunted down by the church … "
Roy heard another word. Church!
He had previously suspected that after he was summoned through the Gate of the Abyss, he had come to a world similar to Earth. After all, Lucius and the others looked like Earthlings, so he was very puzzled. Now that he heard the keywords vampire, Dracula, and the church, Roy's doubts grew.
So, Roy asked again, "Seeing how scared you are, is that vampire still attacking you?"
"Yes, my Lord!" Lucius took out a handkerchief with lingering fear and wiped the sweat on his bald forehead. "In fact, our town has been attacked by vampires for more than four hundred years. But at that time, there was only one vampire, Dracula. Even if he sucked human blood, it wouldn't be too much. With the town's population, it wasn't a big problem. But in recent decades, Dracula has three vampire brides, and their attacks on the town have become more frequent. Every day, many people die from sucking their blood, and the town's population has decreased. If this continues, the town will really be finished …"
"Have you ever thought of escaping?" Roy asked.
"Impossible. Dracula has basically killed all the people who escaped. He has already treated the people in this town as livestock. How could he let us escape?" Lucius smiled bitterly. "Besides, almost all the people in this town are poor, and they don't have the money to escape to other places!"
"But you mentioned the existence of the church!" Roy was getting more and more suspicious, but he still continued to ask, "Does the church let the vampires wreak havoc?"
"That's not it!" Lucius shook his head. "But after Dracula became a vampire, the ancestor of the Villelis family blamed himself. He went to the church once four hundred years ago. He couldn't bear to kill his son, but he swore to God that his descendants would kill Dracula. Otherwise, the souls of their entire family would not be able to go to heaven. It was because of this oath that the church tacitly agreed to let the Villelis family deal with Dracula, so they didn't send anyone.
"But the situation is a little different now!" Lucius continued. "The people of the Villelis family have been trying to kill Dracula for the past four hundred years, but they all died in Dracula's hands. The huge population of the family has been decreasing day by day, and now, there are only two bloodlines left in the Villelis family. If this continues, the Villelis family will disappear. So after the church learned of this situation, they realized the seriousness of the matter and finally sent someone!"
"Since the church sent someone, you still dare to summon a demon at this critical juncture?" Roy grinned. "Do you think you're not dying fast enough?"
Roy even suspected that Lucius was setting up a trap for the demon!
