Chapter 137 136. Cursed (7).
?[Of course. Now do you want to make a contract with me?] The voice rang in Quinn's head this time.
".... What do you want? My soul?" Quinn asked.
"Why would I want your worthless soul?" A nonchalant voice rang from above this time.
".... Worthless? Then what else do you want?" Quinn asked, trying his best to ignore what the voice had said previously. He, too, thought and agreed that he was worthless, but hearing directly from a being who deals with souls affected him.
"Of course I want information." The voice said.
"About what?" Quinn asked with a scoff.
CRUNCH (4x)
SWISH
"You should know your place, human." Suddenly, a white-haired, white-skinned child hung upside down in front of Quinn who was scared sh*tless.
"Uwaa!!" Quinn let out another strange scream, startled by the appearance of a white humanoid figure out of nowhere.
'What is going on?' The Eye, which had desperately held back its senses because it seemed interesting, was experiencing strange sensations as the pull grew stronger and stronger, while many 'feelings' seemed to appear and disappear in a flash.
BA-BUMP (7x)
The Eye was drawn to the white-haired boy, who had different powers in a single core, something the Eye had never seen before because it had been 'proved' to be impossible, and the Eye was perplexed as to why that incomprehensible being was acting like a Devil. Was he a demon? Devil? Beast? Or a entirely different race? No! His body appeared to have developed like a beast, with a human skeleton, dragon eyes, and a demon core! He possessed all 'natural' abilities in a single body! Aura, mana, magi, Dragon's mana, and their sensitivity were all combined in that small body, which would cause him to feel unbearable pain.
Magi's nature has been altered! Magi, who is naturally destructive, is acting tame within him! Finally, Dragon's eyes appear to have developed as a result of his frequent use of dragon's mana, but it appears that he either isn't aware or isn't using it properly because it is subconsciously maintaining 'order' in his body while keeping 'balance' between other different natured mana.
"W-who are you?" Quinn asked, frightened.
"I'm the Devil, of course. What else do you want to hear?" The white haired kid said with a grin.
THUMP
A 3 foot tall kid jumped down, landed on his feet, and stared at Quinn, his body was completely white with smoke oozing out as if he were wearing a jumpsuit made of snow, his forearms and crus were translucent light blue and he had claws instead of fingers, his genital area was covered with armour made from a mix of many armours of the dead people who came to sector one, though that too seemed to be slowly turning into ice which could break any movement, and on the contrast were his round bright orange snake-like eyes.
-'What is this.....' Quinn stared at the him in a slightly dumbfounded look.
"..... This kid is a devil?" Quinn tilted his head and mumbled out, involuntarily.
"Hm? Human, I dare you say that again." The kid spoke in a low, cold voice, releasing his killing intent which was focused on Quinn, and despite the fact that his voice sounded childish, it sent shivers down Quinn's spine.
'This kid!' the Eye felt 'amused' at the kid's actions and its fanged mouth appeared again as it grinned ominously.
'He is holding back.' The Eye was even more 'curious' now, and was 'intrigued' to find out what will happen next and was thinking about that strange pull it felt when it saw that kid.
"No, no, no, I'm just surprised that 'the great Devil' has taken a form of a child." Quinn shook his head violently.
-'Oh, he's the Devil alright! There is no way a kid can have that amount of killing intent and I shouldn't have doubted it in the first place! I should've understood just by looking at that form!' Quinn reasoned with himself.
"Hmm, hmm." The kid seemed to be pleased with Quinn calling him 'the great devil,' he crossed his arms and nodded.
-'Cute.' Quinn's thought at the sight and suddenly, his eyes went wide open and he shook his head while thinking, maybe the devil took that form to make people let their guard down and kill them, but the kid's next words left Quinn dumbfounded.
".... Well, I'm a 5 year old now anyway."
"Huh?"
"Hm?"
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
".....Now, about the conditions of our contract." The 5 year old kid continued ignoring Quinn's strange actions.
"1st, you'll keep my existence a secret. 2nd, you'll teach me about the human world. 3rd, you'll take me to the human domain when I want you to. Are we clear?" He said while counting it on his fingers which were facing Quinn.
"Huh?" Quinn was even more flabbergasted at the conditions.
"Huh? What's wrong? Hm? Ah! Maybe he has a life in the human world even though he looks like this, hmm..." He pondered while nodding his head.
"....." Quinn was silent.
-'What kind of stupid conditions are those?'
"Ok, I've decided! You'll leave here and come back at least once a month to teach me!" He said with a bright smile like it was the best idea ever.
".....What if I betray you? What if I leave here and never return?" Quinn who had turned silent, asked with a curious look on his face.
"Huh? We'll you're not the only human that comes here, I'll keep one alive when the next party arrives and ask him or her the same, but a 'her' would be a bit better because they'll use their brain instead of trying to avenge their friends as if they are some heroes....." The kid mumbled with a shrug which turned ominous after he completed that sentence.
"But remember, I'll find and kill you the moment I come out into the human world." The kid said.
"..... What if I get you killed before you set your foot into the human domain? If I organize a team saying there is a new monster in sector one, you'll die the moment you set your foot into the human domain!" Quinn shuddered when he heard the kid's words, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Ha! If all of you humans have 'only' reached this level, I'll be able to kill an entire army by myself." He scoffed and said while pointing at the dead Orc warrior chief.
"!"
