Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 848: A deal with the devil

Chapter 848: A deal with the devil

As the palms of the beast came clashing, everything in between them was destroyed, even the space as splashes of blood flew everywhere.

A heavy wind blast occurred simultaneously. However, this time Azurel stood his ground.

Licia's eyes widened a bit as she looked at the aftermath. "As expected."

The splashes of blood flew with the wind, even falling on her own face. She wiped the blood from her face.

Thud~

A headless body dropped to the ground, falling flat miserably. However, the body wasn't alone. A head was still rolling in the sky. It also came crashing down, falling on top of the body.

Behind the body, a figure stood tall. However, the figure didn't have four hands. Instead, he had two dark wings like a demon. There was a black sword in the hands of the figure, which was covered in blood.

"Next?" Lucifer turned around, looking at Licia.

Licia smiled. "You did well. You made him underestimate you, acting as if you couldn't free yourself; meanwhile, you kept your teleportation ability a secret, waiting for just the right time. Not bad at all. But you won't always be this lucky."

....

Inside the separate spatial realm, Jian was also immersed in a battle, but his battle was going a bit differently.

Even though he had already killed a General as well, the battle was more one sided here. Loy was killed so brutally that he couldn't even resist.

Similar to Licia, Milan hadn't joined the battle this time. He was just observing the battle, keeping his eyes closed. His crystal ball kept shining brightly throughout the Battle.

It was only after Loy had died that Milan opened his eyes.

"A human's body being occupied by someone else. You aren't a Baltic, but you aren't a Variant either. You aren't even from this realm. Am I correct?" Milan asked. "Would you like to identify yourself?"

"You are right. I'm not from around here," Jian smirked. "Win, and maybe I'll tell who I am."

"I won't fight you. I already know my chances of defeating you are nil. Only Lord Licorice can destroy you. I don't want to waste my time in an aimless battle. Tell me what you want, and I'll help you," Milen responded, sitting on the ground. He wasn't going to fight.

"You are occupying a human body in this realm. That means you want something. Otherwise, you won't be in this realm and in this body. Let me offer you what you want, and you side with me. I assure you, we can help you more than humans can," He added.

"You can help me more than this human? That's true. You can certainly help me, but as a Demon, I don't go back on my promises. I've already established a contract with this human when he was on his dying breath. I won't break the contract!" Jian exclaimed.

"You don't have to break any promise. You can keep that human as well. All of us can work together. We don't have any enmity with the humans either. We only have one enemy! This guy!" Milen responded, showing an illusory image to Jian.

"Help us, and we will help you rule the entire world. That human you possess will also be left safe. Do you accept my offer? We have no enmity between ourselves. We also want to leave this hellhole where you're also trapped now along with the human. Since we both have the same goal, why fight? We aren't enemies!"

Milen kept talking to Jian, but Jian didn't respond to him. Instead, Jian blankly looked at the holographic image before him.

"That person, how do you know him?" Jian asked, stepping closer to the hologram.

"He is the person who destroyed our world! He is the reason we are trapped here," Milen explained. "He's the reason behind all this mystery. Do you know him as well?"

From the reaction of the man, it looked like he knew the man as well, which was surprising.

"This man! He's the reason I came to this realm!" Jian exclaimed. "Do you know where he is?"

"Do we know where he is? We have more. We have a way to open the Portal straight to him. How do you know him?!"

"That bastard! He stole the Royal Sword! It was my responsibility to protect the Royal Sword, but that bastard stole it and disappeared. I looked for years, unable to find the sword! I've been living in such misery since then for losing the sword!" Jian exclaimed.

"It was only eighteen years ago when I felt the energy of that sword coming from this realm? That's why I came here. But I couldn't enter this realm personally without it being destroyed due to my aura! So I established a contract with a human to allow my corporal soul to possess him."

" If only I got that Sword, I would be allowed back and regain my old glory, which I lost because of that bastard! But I won't go back alone! I'll go back with the body of that bastard that caused hundreds of years of misery to me!" Jian exclaimed.

"You didn't find that sword in the last eighteen years?" Milen asked, frowning. "I thought you could sense it as you said."

"I can sense it but only when it's being used. Since the sword was stolen a hundred years ago, it was only once used, and that too on this earth. Since then, the Sword hasn't been used, and I can't locate it!"

" By the time I reached the location of the sword last time, I only found rubble and destruction. The sword wasn't there. Someone had taken it. Since then, I've been looking for it!" Jian explained.

"How about we make a deal then?" Milen suggested.

"What deal?" Jian asked.

"We will help you find that sword after we leave this Dungeon, and you'll help us destroy that person after we open a portal to him? And we won't fight amongst ourselves. What do you say?" Jian asked.

"If you can find that Sword, you will get the deal you're looking for. As a Demon, I always keep my words. But can you really look for something that even we can't find?" Jian asked, frowning.

"Of course, I can find it. I can find anything in this world as long as I get out of these Dungeon restrictions. I just need to go to the place where you last saw that sword, and I'll be able to see the present and the past of that place to know who took the sword. Through that place, I can find the exact coordinates of the Sword for you. It's a child's play for me!" Milen commented.

"You got a deal then!" Jian smiled, taking the offer. A deal with the devil had been made.
