Summoned and Unwanted

Chapter 642

642 I agree not to lie and answer honestly

“Vincent. Can we expect the bringer of death and destruction to be a good person? Can we expect such a person to be on our side?” Asked Lucas with a profound expression.

[Lucas is straightforwardly saying this. He is trying to question if you will be an asset for the Lusterfall Kingdon or not.

As Kazumi put it, both sides were currently in a delicate situation. Vincent needed to be accepted by the people in front of him for his survival, while Anna and Lucas couldn’t merely accept Vincent as he could spell the doom of Lusterfall Kingdom.

In the impending war against the Selos Kingdom, using poison to fight poison could leave the user poisoned in the end. A coin has pros and cons. It has a frontside and a backside. It has the good and the bad. Accepting Vincent could be beneficial or disastrous.

“I was healed instead of arrested or killed. I am being talked to in a civil manner.” Vincent moved his gaze to a magic pen and magic contract resting on a nightstand. “I am grateful for the Royal Soldiers guarding the property and saying we were demolishing an unused shed. I think it would be better to have my words backed by a contract.”

Leonis, Anna, and Bilka were shocked to hear Vincent reveal what was happing outside the mansion. He was unconscious just a moment ago. Furthermore, The three of them didn’t hear anyone tell Vincent what was happening. It was a mystery.

[Look at their shocked expressions, haha. They do not know how Jun Ye Rim and I secretly scouted around the mansion to see what was happening outside.]

Kazumi said. However, she didn’t mention how Jun Ye Rim was forced to satisfy Kazumi’s curiosity to learn what was happening outside.

“I am deeply grateful for the generosity shown to my family and me.” Vincent lowered his head slowly. “I apologize. This is the most I can move before I lose my balance.”

.....

Anna waved her hands. “No need to worry. I understand you can not apologize properly.”

“I can not accept it, your highness! The vulgar being from another world must thank you respectfully!” Bilka grunted with a gaze of contempt.

“Haha. Bilka really wants to beat you now that you can not defend yourself after becoming weaker as a side effect.” Lucas revealed. *Sigh* “Regrettably, even an ordinary soldier will give you a tough fight in your current condition.”

[Vincent... Lucas speaks the truth...]

-Truth? Didn’t I recover without a problem like the previous times Overload activated and took over my body for a couple of minutes?-

[Could you check your status window? It will explain everything clearly.]

Lucas, Anna, and Bilka saw Vincent lower his gaze onto his body. They saw him open his eyes wide. It was obvious he saw something shocking.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Overload (Inactive) description.]

[Overload] skill allows the host to @#$# ?Rr0r...]

[Overload] skill is in the inactive state. The skill can not be used.]

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Soul Rupture description.]

[The user’s soul is damaged. As the soul is the engine to provide the vessel power, the more damaged the soul is, the less original power the vessel will have.]

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Origin Soul description.]

[The soul of the user has been divided into more than one. The percentage of [Origin Soul] determines how much of the user’s soul remains.]

[If the user regains the missing percentage with a soul of the same wavelength, yet different from the original, a new beneficial or harmful trait can awaken.]

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Synergy Bond description.]

[The host is able to synergize with the [Soul Retainer Bond] (Blessed Rank)]

[Any bond of value over 50% will give the host a value of one added to the [Synergy Bond]

[Each value will give the host the ability to stack the time of [Soul Reset] by 10% once instead of resetting the complete duration.]

[When [Synergy Bond] reaches 100%, the next value will allow [Soul Reset] to stack again, starting from 10%.]

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Critical Time description.]

[When the host is under the effects of Overload or Overheat, the host can use the properties of [Synergy Bond] to use a portion of the current bonded connection skills.]

[Critical Time] will consume Overload and Overheat timer by half and can not be disabled after activation. The less time remains, the stronger skills the host can access and empower.]

.

[Third Eye activate.]

[Limb Seed description.]

[The host can create a seed made out of blood and mana. A drop of the host’s blood will be consumed to extract and encase the blood with mana like a seed.]

[After the mana used as nutrients is consumed, the plant will wither and die.]

[Only the parasite version can remain alive indefinitely if it is fed a drop of the blood and 10% mana of the victim every day.]

[The mana acting like the shell of the [Limb Seed] will use the nutrients of the host’s blood to sprout depending on the host’s intention before the sprouting intent is triggered.]

[Limb Seed] can sprout and connect to any surface. The strouted seed will also move along the host’s intent before the growth process stops. Only the parasite version can remain moving at will.]

[Connection to the ground will mutate the [Limb Seed] to a nature version. Connection to a liquid surface will mutate the [Limb Seed] to the aquatic version. Connection to a living being will mutate the [Limb Seed] to the parasite version.]

[The nature version will expand its roots while in the sprouting phase. The more nutrients it has in the seed and discovers in the ground, the larger it will grow.]

[The aquatic version will expand its roots while in the sprouting phase. The more nutrients it has in the seed and finds in any liquid substance, the more it will expand.]

.....

[The parasite version will expand its roots while in the sprouting phase. The more nutrients it had in the seed, the more of a chance it would have to connect with the blood vessels and nerves of the targeted living being.]

[Up to 10 seeds can be created every day.]

[The amount can increase depending on the Soul Retainer Bond. The ratio is 1 seed per every Blessed Rank and 1 seed per every 5 High Rank.]

.

Leonis, Anna, and Bilka looked at each other. On their face was a puzzled frown because in front of them was a man staring blankly at his body.

Vincent was about to drool when he gulped and finally blinked his eyes. His face had become slightly pale, and the expression on his face became more tired than before.

“It was a joke, Vincent. I didn’t expect you to ponder that deeply after looking at your body. Did you perhaps check your condition?” Lucas asked.

“... yes... I did see the stats I gained disappear...”

“The people around you were relieved to see you alive again. Losing some power is better than being... dead...” Anna tried to encourage Vincent while finding the word “dead” difficult to say.

Anna recalled how her mother passed away because her mother had used what remained of her vitality to bear baby Anna. To survive and suffer from non-life threatening consequences was better than being dead, believed Anna.

[Vincent. Do not cry over spilled milk. Let’s make sure Princess Anna can at least remain in a neutral position with us. That is what is important right now.]

Vincent’s muddled thoughts quickly cleared when Kazumi reminded this wasn’t the time to act heartbroken. The rope of the chance to survive was in front of him. Vincent needed to grab the rope and do his best to remain on friendly terms with Anna and Lucas.

Vincent took a deep breath and exhaled. “What happened happened. Thank you, Anna, for trying to encourage me. I can answer any questions thrown at me honestly.”

Bilka threw the magic pen and magic contract at Vincent. “Sign it. Only then will we believe your answers to be honest.” She said aggressively.

“Bilka...” Both Lucas and Anna expressed in a low voice.

Vincent grabbed the contract. He and Kazumi read the contract, and the contents didn’t raise an eyebrow. The terms weren’t going to punish those who agree to speak the truth.

[Hmm... this magic contract is like a toddler compared to what Leonis is suffering from. A hard slap to the face when the body detects a lie is nothing compared to death. Not to mention the duration is only fifteen minutes long.]

Vincent had the same thought. He signed the magic contract without showing a sign of hesitation, and the effect of the magic contract was triggered.

Vincent couldn’t lie without being detected and making his cheeks sore now.
