Hero of Darkness

Now that the Dragon Emperor was freed from the bindings of the ancient Maskaanxavir formation and was no longer at the mercy of the trial of Commandment of Fellowship, the situation had overturned in their favor while the Elven Prince aka Aragorn's mind was discombobulated because of this sudden turn of events.

Although it looked like Vildred suddenly performed an ancient spell out of nowhere… only Rathnaar here knew that Vildred had a unique class that Kahn or Aragorn had no idea about.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Vildred's ginormous figure which was no smaller than a few of the tallest mountains on earth, stood on his hind legs and widely spread his 6 wings while revealing a majestic aura.

"Let's be quick, child. I won't stay free for long. Let's officiate Contract of Familiarity and leave this place." he spoke in a hurried tone as Kahn was also fully prepared.

"Since you're the contractor, my rank and levels will be tied to yours until I regain my original strength of an 8th stage royal dragon.

So I hope you can keep your promise." spoke Vildred.

"Yes. I will honor my oath as long as you honor yours after I have delivered on my promise." responded Kahn with a content expression.

This was the key difference between the Commandment of Fellowship and the Contract of Familiarity, both of which were created by the Deity of Subjugation.

The former made a slave out of the subject while the latter put both parties on an equal level and made them codependent on each other.

Previously, Vildred wouldn't even think of it because everyone who came here before wanted to enslave him just like Hero of Life and Aragorn.

But for the first time, Kahn was an oddity who was in the same crisis as him.

In their case, Kahn was the Contractor since their objective was to change the Soul Signature of Vildred so he could get freed from Maskaanxavir Formation which was imprinted on his soul temporarily.

And now that he was free from it, they were going to make a drastic change in his entire being to nullify the effects of the archaic formation once and for all.

Both of their lives were under an oath which would also affect their future in this world.

The stronger Kahn became, the more strength Vildred would be able to recover in the upcoming future.

And once Kahn himself became a 6th stage saint, Vildred would start raising his own levels to get back to his peak form.

So in a manner, Vildred was now more like a Contracted Familiar for Kahn but who was more of an Ally instead of a tamed beast slave or a slave.

As for the deal Kahn made with Vildred which was conveyed by Rathnaar before they even made their move…

That was a matter left to discuss after they left this place alive.

----------------

Soon, hundreds of spiraling and erratic blue-colored magic formations appeared around Kahn and Vildred as thousands of threads made of world energy emerged and connected from both ends.

"We need a source to use for the contract to become active.

It will drop both our ranks and world energy reserves though. So you better be prepared." spoke Vildred in a commanding voice.

"How about using something as a medium?" asked Kahn.

"Do you have something which can be used for it?" queried Vildred with a curious gaze.

"How about this?" asked Kahn and quickly pulled out a small golden wooden box.

And as he opened the small box, a white and glowing orb was revealed inside it.

This orb was a core… A peak 4th stage saint's core.

Instead of losing another rank and dropping his levels for the contract to be established…

Kahn decided to use the Elf president of the LNP guild aka Sedaris' core as a medium for this contract.

"Ha ha! This is much better." even Vildred chuckled and nodded in approval.

Bang!!

However, the very next second… a turquoise-colored aura beam made of condensed world energy launched at Kahn, carrying the full strength of a peak 5th stage saint.

BOOM!

The nearby 5 kilometers of space was devastated by the ripples of the impact.

But as soon as the smoke settled… a tall figure of a man with a giant shield and battleaxe on his back revealed himself.

Aragorn, the attacker, was taken aback as Blackwall perfectly defended against the sneak attack with his bare hand protecting Kahn.

"You overestimate yourself, elf." he spoke in a grim voice while revealing his surging killing intent towards the elven prince.

"Now shut the fuck up and stay right there like an obedient brat.

Try to attack them again and you'll not live for another minute." he openly threatened Aragorn in an overbearing and tyrannical demeanor.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Soon, both Omega and Rudra also appeared behind him, revealing their murderous auras as well.

Although Aragorn was a Peak 5th stage saint himself while Blackwall was only a Beginner 5th stage saint at the present moment, due to his primordial titan bloodline and newly acquired skills from Cthulhu as well as his evolution to the mythical rank… he alone was more than enough to deal with the Elven prince by himself as it was possible for him to even kill an Intermediate 6th stage saint on his own if he activated the Gaia Domain.

And with Omega and Rudra behind him, they also had an advantage in numbers.

Like a Guardian Knight, Blackwall stood like an unmoving and indestructible mountain in front of the elven prince to protect his master.

Vildred on the other side had already started the ritual to commemorate the Contract of Familiarity.

Sedaris' core was hovering in the air and being absorbed by both Kahn and Vildred's cores and also left archaic rune-like imprints on their souls, binding their fates and lives together.

BOOM!!

A tremendous surge of energy erupted as a mix of blue aura filled with erratic lightning bolts spread in the 20 kilometer region while another explosion of black and red aura spread to 20 kilometers radius after some sort of world calamity had struck this entire floor, parting the sky and ground alike.

With this, Kahn and Vildred had officially become Partners in Crime.

Moreover, this procedure to officiate the contract also brought a great and pleasant surprise for Kahn, making changes in his body.

Because at this moment, the system gave him a notification.

[Congratulations to the host for becoming a 4th stage saint!]
