“With the world’s will as a witness, we promise that if you three hand over the boy unharmed with no tricks in store we will let you retreat,” the Allied force took the oath to assure the semi-demigods of the circle.

“With the world’s will as a witness, we promise to handover the boy and leave in peace if the boy hands over Mike’s corpse,” the enemy semi-demigods took an oath with very lose terms causing Number Ten to frown, but considering that their oath was airtight he chooses to overlook it.

“Now that we have established a sense of trust among us, let us get this over with,” Number Ten said signaling me to hand over the corpse of the circle’s sun blossom breach leader so that the enemy semi-demigods could hold up their end of the bargain.

“What’s the hold-up?” The enemy semi-demigod in charge complained seeing show no signs of realizing the corpse of their dead comrade.

“Kid, what are you waiting for? Handover the corpse,” Number Ten said impatiently. He had played along when the boy tried to stall for time, but now that they were at the brink of burying all this he did not understand why the boy would delay things now of all times.

“Here’s the thing, the corpse is my loot. If I have to give it to them then, I need something of equal in exchange,” The boy said surprising the half a dozen semi-demigods surrounding him.

“We are letting you live, that’s already enough to compensate you for handing our comrade’s corpse,” The semi-demigod in charge replied.

“I can understand how you can misunderstand the situation here but let me put things in perspective for you, you are letting me go because of your deal with them. As for the corpse, it is my loot, so if you want it then I need to be compensated appropriately,” The spoke explained why he thought he deserved to be appropriately compensated for handing over Mike’s corpse to the Circle.

“I take it back, I am starting to like you,” Number Nine who has been dissatisfied with the boy for his audacity to challenge her authority had a new impression of the boy. It was not sudden, earlier she believed that the boy dare to be disrespectful to her because of the southern emperor backing him but seeing him bargain with his captors her impression of him changed for the better.

“I know right, his attitude grows on you,” Agatha commented hearing Number Nine change her opinion about the boy.

“What kind of bullshit is this?” the enemy semi-demigod in charge yelled hearing the boy make demands and the reaction of the allied forces to it. He was starting to feel like a joke because of the boy’s laid-back attitude.

“What, you have a problem with it,” The boy asked without care of enraging his captors.

“Kid, let me put things in perspective for you. We don’t need you alive to get what we want, your grimoire and a sample of your blood will do the trick. We are willing to compromise to save an SS-rank ‘The Dummy’ card and a lot of trouble but that doesn’t mean that we are willing to let you walk all over us,” The enemy semi-demigod in charge reminded the boy that since the corpse of their comrade was stored in his grimoire, they don’t really need him alive to get what they want.

“Now, that does make a lot of sense. One corpse coming right up,” One of the boy’s clones replied, and<anno data-annotation-id=”26c8ee5a-79b5-f32a-57e2-716c20060260″> then summoning its grimoire it summoned the corpse wood coffin and opened the lead revealing Mike’s corpse with the corpse wood stake stuck in his chest. </anno>

As for the six semi-demigods, they were wondering if this clone of the boy was his original body but considering that they have seen all three clones summon grimoire when they were escaping, they thought this was not enough to conclude.

“And his grimoire,” Examining the broken ego gem in the corpse the enemy semi-demigod in charge confirmed that the corpse was indeed Mike and then remind the boy to hand over Mike’s platinum grimoire too.

“I totally forgot, here you go,” the clone then took out a platinum grimoire and hand it over to the semi-demigod holding him. Then it deactivated the corpse wood stake and coffin, before Mike’s corpse could free fall under the influence of gravity it was retrieved by the enemy semi-demigod in charge, who placed both the corpse and platinum grimoire in his storage item.

“Now you got what you want realize the boy,” Number Ten ordered the enemy semi-demigods.

“Kid, you are free to go but remember your debt to our organization will be collected soon,” Having taken an oath to let the boy go if he handed the corpse of their comrade, the enemy semi-demigod had no choice but to let the three clones of the boy go. Being free, the boy’s clones did not hurry to safety but instead they choose to taunt their ex-captors, “woo, I am so scared,” then they calmly flew to the one person they trusted most among the three allied semi-demigods, Agatha.

“Now, that you have the boy remove the Heaven’s Sanction,” the enemy semi-demigod in charge said.

Before Agatha could answer, one of the boy’s clones interrupted her saying, “Agatha, don’t remove Heaven’s sanction we need it to catch rats, just give them access to use their hidden teleportation array formation.”

Hearing the boy all six semi-demigods frowned, especially the Circle’s semi-demigods. They could not help but wonder who the rats the boy spoke of were. But they did not waste their time, trying to understand what the boy meant, they decided to leave before it was too late. So they hurried to the hidden teleportation array arranged by Mike and fled the southern region.

“Kid, I think you had enough adventure for one night. Time for you to head home now,” Number Ten said sticking to the priority of the mission handed to him.

“We cannot leave now, at least not until we rid the city’s sewers of the poisonous rats infesting it.”
