Chapter 168: Contract

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Black smoke suddenly rose from the scroll and quickly gathered in the air. With a ‘bang’, it began to burn.

A large eye suddenly appeared amidst the burning flames.

It had black vertical pupils and was completely covered in flames. Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Eye of Sauron in the Lord of the Rings, but it was a little darker in color. There was also no extra emotion in its eyes, and it was extremely cold.

This was the Eye of Witness, a product that would appear when a soul contract was made. It was one of the creations of the laws and was a part of this world.

Its function was to witness the conclusion of the contract. Once the contract was concluded, any violation would be punished.

A red beam shot out from the rotating eyeball and hit the scroll’s signature bar. The signature on the scroll suddenly lit up with a beam of light.

At the same time, Heath felt that he had established some kind of connection with the Dark Cloud Beast. It was a connection in the soul. It seemed that he could control the life and death of the Dark Cloud Beast at any time.

He signed a master-servant contract with the Dark Cloud Beast. This was the most common contract between Wizards and demonized creatures. Once the contract was effective, the master could control the servant in all aspects.

After the contract was signed, Heath put away the scroll.

Then, he took out an inch-sized glass bottle, opened the cork, and aimed at the Dark Cloud Beast. “Come in.”

Then, he recited a short spell.

Suddenly, a strong suction force emerged from the glass bottle. Under the effect of this strong suction force, the dark cloud in the sky began to compress, transform, and quickly absorb into the bottle.

The seemingly small bottle seemed to have an endless space, and in an instant, all the dark clouds were absorbed into it.

The originally dark sky suddenly became clear.

This was a spatial bottle, one of the spatial Wizard tools. Unlike ordinary spatial Wizard tools, this kind of spatial bottle could store living things. Of course, it was also much more expensive.

The soul of the female Apprentice in Marcel’s hands in the Magic Bug Forest used the same magic tool.

“It’s finally done!”

After the contract was signed, there was no problem with the Dark Cloud Beast. The next thing to do was to bring it back. However, there was no rush. It was rare for him to come back for two more days.

Then, he slowly descended from the sky and returned to the ground.

However, just as one of his feet landed on the ground, Heath’s brows suddenly furrowed.

“What strong elemental fluctuations!”

For no reason, an extremely strong elemental fluctuation suddenly surged on the ground. The elemental content was not inferior to the energy intensity of a Wizard.

“What’s going on!?”

Heath immediately became vigilant.

He looked around and saw that a thick layer of grayish-black fog had suddenly appeared in the forest, devouring the entire forest.

When he carefully observed, he found that the grayish-black fog was actually full of elemental particles. In other words, the black fog in front of him was entirely caused by the excessive abundance of elemental particles.

Heath frowned. “No way, did he poke an elemental spring’s eye?”

Such a dense elemental strength was rare even in the Wizard Continent. It was truly inconceivable for such a strong elemental to appear in such a Forgotten Land.

In the rising black smoke, some demonized beasts and small animals in the forest could not even hold on and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Heath could not help but frown. “Sh*t, Kayla and the others…”

As a Wizard, he certainly did not mind in front of such an element, but Kayla and the others were only ordinary humans. Such a strong element was a fatal threat to them.

He quickly looked around and soon saw a flag on a mountain in the distance.

He immediately cast a flying spell and arrived at the mountain. At this time, Kayla and the others had already passed out. Their faces were black, and there were blue blood vessels appearing on the surface of their skin. It looked particularly terrifying.

This was a sign of elemental erosion. If this happened, they would not be far from death.

Heath quickly took out a few test tubes from his dimensional pocket and fed them to Kayla and the rest. This was Elemental Fusion Water, which could allow one to possess elemental constitution for a short period of time.

After drinking the liquid in the test tubes, Kayla and the rest gradually looked better.

Seeing this, Heath’s expression relaxed slightly.

He pushed Kayla. “Kayla, hey!”

After shouting twice, the unconscious Kayla gradually woke up. He looked around blankly. “What… What happened… What happened?”

“I still have to ask you.”

Heath asked, “Do you still remember what happened before?”

Kayla frowned and recalled for a moment. He said with some uncertainty, “I remember… I remember that we seemed to be watching you fight with that dark cloud. We seemed to see that you had just defeated the dark cloud, but a cloud of black fog suddenly surged out from the forest…”

“Oh right, I remember now. A cloud of black fog suddenly appeared in the forest. The black fog came too quickly. I accidentally inhaled it and felt dizzy… After that, I don’t remember.”

Heath frowned.

He asked, “You mean, the black fog appeared after I subdued the Dark Cloud Beast? What else happened?”

At this time, a Knight who had just woken up pointed to a direction in the forest and said, “Over there, Sir Wizard. I saw something over there. It seemed to be… a child.”

Another Knight also said, “I saw it too, Sir, and I also heard the laughter of a child.”

“Ah, did you hear it too? I thought it was an illusion…”

Heath was slightly stunned when he heard the Knights’ words.

He looked in the direction the knights were pointing at. It was a forest in the distance. It seemed to be no different from the scenery in other parts of the forest.

Kayla asked, “Did something happen, Heath?”

Heath said, “There might be something over there. I need to go over and take a look to be sure.”

Kayla puffed out his chest and said, “Do you need our help?”

Heath shook his head and said, “No need. You guys leave the forest first. I can handle it here on my own.”

The Elemental Fusion Water had a certain time limit.

Under Heath’s repeated requests, Kayla could only take the Knights and leave.

After Kayla and the others left, Heath took out the spatial bottle and released the Dark Cloud Beast inside.

The moment the Dark Cloud Beast appeared, Heath could clearly feel the elements gathering towards the Dark Cloud Beast, as if there was a suction force on its body that was attracting them.

Seeing this, Heath could not help but ask, “Xavier, do you know what’s going on?”

Xavier was obviously at a loss. “No… I don’t know… Master…”

Heath said in surprise, “These elements are all converging towards you.”

Xavier was also very puzzled. “From… Xavier’s… memories… it’s like this… they… let Xavier… food… grow…”

Hearing Xavier’s words, Heath’s eyes lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He hurriedly used the flying spell to fly high in the sky, and then looked down from the sky. At this glance, he suddenly came to a realization.

Heath said: “So that’s it….”
