Reborn as God: The strongest system

Chapter 98 Infernal Pact

Esdras licked his lips, "Oooh, what's this? This must be your personal storage. Hehe heh, it looks like you were busy huh, thanks for the hard work."

"No! Bastard, it's mine! Stay away! It's not for you!"

"The fuck you mean it's not for me? Winner takes all, aren't you familiar with this rule? Tsk, tsk." Esdras didn't bother looking after he found the box immediately.

It looks like Redthorn put it away hastily and didn't have the time to stash it away carefully.

Esdras wanted to put inside the ring, but couldn't. For some reason it was not going in. There was a repulsive invisible force that prevented the box from going into the ring.

Esdras took a moment to think and decided to just take it in his backpack, next was all the loot collected by the goblin.

At this sight, Redthorn's eyes turned red, just like his skin, that seemed fitting somehow. His expression was a mixture of unbridled rage and disbelief.

Esdras then picked the goblin up and ran out of the chamber, he crossed the bridge and found the rest of the party struggling against a hoard of giant ants.

When they noticed him he motioned for them to jump through the opening in the wall, they did so and slid down the mudslide that was made by Celine and David previously.

Esdras killed a few ants and followed suit.

The mudslide was much more dangerous than a Disney land ride, as the air whizzed past him, he realized that some of the ants were following them.

Esdras saw that the others made it safely so he struck the mudslide and destroyed it in one strike, it was not exactly sturdy to begin with.

"What the--!" Redthorn squealed.

He and the goblin fell off in the middle of the ride, Esdras didn't react, he just kept and close look about his surroundings and before the impact he used wind magic to cushion the blow.

He created a hot air current that acted as a buffer, it seemed like they were floating in the air freely for a bit.

Even then, if he was a normal human he would have had to suffer several broken bones and might've died anyway. Good thing he had an enhanced body.

"You're crazy! What kind of maniac are you? You could have killed the damn ants later!"

"True," Esdras agreed with the goblin and smacked him across the face several times, " do I need you to tell me that?"

Esdras just used it as a convenient opportunity to naturally separate himself from the party. He raised his hand and shot a Flare spell high in the air.

Thie was a signal telling them that he was fine and that he would meet them at the rendezvous point.

He didn't have to because they already planned to meet up there if anyone got separated from the party.

But seeing him fall from such a height, something may have decided to look for him instead, which will defeat the purpose of separating himself from them for the time being.

With that being done and him being in a hurry, he took out a pen and started writing the contract on the infernal parchment. It did not take very long after all it was a pretty simple contract.

From now on the goblin Redthorn will take him as his master at the end of time, and he was not allowed to betray him in anyway shape or form he was not allowed to deceive him or trick him. He was also not allowed to purposefully feel any task assigned to him by Esdras.

Every time the goblin disobeyed an order he would feel the pain of his bones breaking and his internal organs burning. If the goblin were to betray him, then he would lose his soul to hell. He did not need to specify this part, as it was already part of the conditions to use the infernal pact.

Esdras gave the contract to Redthorn, to sign.

Redthorn was skeptical. He did not understand what is human who is trying to do after all if he really wanted to enslave him signing a piece of paper was not enough. Far from it.

He was a goblin, and he was not bound by the rules of humans and their society, did this paper have legal effect in areas that humans did not hold dominion like the forest to deep swamps and so on?

But if this human was going to let him live, thanks to his naivety, then he could use this to his advantage. Redthorn signed the paper without too much thought it did not matter what kind of conditions he agreed to after all it was just a piece of paper.

And this part about hell and what not he did not believe in this bullshit at all.

Esdras didn't think that the goblin would really sign it without any resistance at all he did not even bother, bargaining or negotiating. He was even ready to adjust some of the conditions.

That's why you're such harsh conditions at first because he thought that he would have to lower that demand later on. Who knew that this so-called smart goblin would sell out his soul so easily.

"Okay, now then. As promised I will let you go." Esdras untied the goblin and took several steps back.

They probably looked around and then at his own hands and feet. He was contemplating going to make it escape, but worse he has to make sure that this human has led down his guard.

He went down on his knees and slammed his head to the ground, " master I am your eternal slave. Please ask of me what you wish."

Esdras nodded inwardly. He wanted to see how effective the infernal pack was, after all, he was going to use it to establish his relationship with the pharaoh. In a way that could be called a test.

"First, tell me do you know Ilundar Sunspear?"

The goblin looked flustered for a moment, " who is that? I have no idea truly, I am not sure I even heard of the name before."

After Redthorn said this is body, certainly convulsed, and screamed like he never did in his entire life. He felt the bones in his entire body from the smallest toe bone to his own skull, breaking and then his internal organs were on fire.
